"Crackling" This is the sound of firecrackers, and in this sound, the New Year has arrived.

But in the Ascension Immortal Palace, there was silence, and the seven earth immortals, Cheng Jin Zhenren, Cheng Zhuang Dao Ren, and Chenghua Zhenren were all inside, all quietly looking at the water mirror, listening to a ghost immortal real person in the specific announcement.

"The three official roads have been completed, there are always four checkpoints, and now the New Year has arrived, all are buying New Year's goods, the caravan has doubled, and the checkpoints charge fifteen taels of seven dollars a day, and it is expected that after it subsides, it can be collected about ten taels. ”

The wide road and the influx of people flashed one by one in the water mirror, and all the real people were silent.

"Isn't there anyone who embezzles?" said Lao Dao.

"Cheng Lu Zhenren, here Xuanshang junior brother used a new method, collected a lot of gentry grain money, the government does not pay taxes, and each family pays taxes. ”

Speaking of this, this real person took a little meal: "The money does not go through the government, it is directly taken home by the tax collector in proportion, because each family has a share of profits, so no one can be greedy." ”

"No one in the government objected?" Cheng Lu Zhenren was stunned for a moment and continued to ask.

"If there is no one in the government, there will be no expenses, and the officials take turns to preside, and the officials are the same as the tax collectors, who presides over the money can divide the money according to the proportion, and take it home directly without handing it over to the government, and these officials are all vying to go. ”

"Only one-third of the net profit is handed over to the official treasury, and no one dares to lose a penny, for fear that they will be caught in the future, and there is no way to divide the money!"

"Not only this, but the next dried fish are also distributed in this way, but this profit is large, as far as I know, a hundred stone of dried fish has been sold out, each stone of fish money, firewood money, manual deduction, regardless of the money earned by the merchant, we alone make a net profit of half a tael of silver, which is fifty taels. ”

"Fifty taels were dispatched, and the gentry and officials who participated in it all earned oil and water, which was more than ten times more than the road, and they all cheered and jumped, looking forward to expanding the scale, looking forward to similar matters, and some people have already said that as long as Senior Brother Xuan Shang has any more matters, they are willing to pay for them. ”

"And the people are also cheering, and there are already children singing in the streets--real people come to Ren Wanjia to eat and rejoice in the New Year!"

When all the real people heard this, they couldn't help but change color slightly, and felt that there was some truth in it, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't use the original truth to sit down, and they were all chewing on the deep meaning inside.

Cheng Lu Zhenren muttered: "Isn't this a bribe of the gentry and the common people?

Chengzhuang Daoren was not prejudiced, and smiled: "If you have the ability to bribe the gentry and the people, you can also greatly increase the luck of my Daomen, and we can also hold this meeting for you." ”

At this time, the girl turned her face and asked: "The Luck Pavilion shows that Chenmen County has more luck?"

"It used to be 20 percent, but since the dried fish was sold, when the ship came back to load, it was still rising, and it was almost 30 percent. Chengzhuang Taoist said, his eyes stared, shook his head and said: "I'm just afraid that this is not Taoism, just the knowledge of experience." ”

"Whether it's experience or Taoism, next autumn will be the whole door on Taoism, let him talk about it then, isn't it. The girl smiled and said.

Cheng Lu Zhenren and Cheng Hua Zhenren's faces changed, but Cheng Jin Zhenren smiled and was very satisfied.

However, at this time, the ghost immortal real person below hesitated, and still said, "Elders, there is one more thing!"

Seeing that all the real people asked him to speak, this person said: "Senior Brother Xuanshang once posted the county government and was not allowed to imitate it for three years, and this matter was reported to the elders and agreed. ”

"But Senior Brother Xuanyan is also copying it in Yimen County, and he also wants to engage in dried fish. ”

Cheng Lu Zhenren didn't squeak for a while, and then said: "Since this dried fish is effective, it should be applied to the ten counties of the whole island to improve my Dao Qi." ”

"Senior brother's words are wrong, the county governance is to assess disciples, even if it is to be popularized on the whole island, after a conclusion has been reached, now it is like this, whose merit is considered to be it?" The girl Zhenren sneered, said, and glanced at Chenghua Zhenren who was silent and did not speak, this Xuan Yan is still his disciple.

"That's right, this thing can't set this precedent, so as not to confuse merit. Chengzhuang Daoist was in charge of luck and political assessment, and said immediately.

"Senior Brother Chenghua, what is your opinion?" Cheng Jinzhen was happy to hear at this time, but the serenity and preciousness of his cultivation made him ask calmly.

"Since you have all made up your mind, I tell the disciples to stop. Chenghua Zhenren saw that the public opinion in the palace really didn't have an advantage, so he had to say.

It's just that before the words fell, there was a sudden change on the water mirror, and a voice came: "Notice, Xuan Shang has made an appointment to fight Xuan Yan, and now he is in front of the Criminal Palace." ”

"What?" the elders couldn't help but change color.

The snow drops like the pink of the mansion fell in the wind, the tall mansion was standing, and there was one day that was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the county government was busy in the government, all of them were doing New Year's goods, and a bright yellow palace lamp was hung up.

This bright yellow lantern, on the mainland, is only available to the royal family, although there are many princes, I have not heard of any princes dare to use it blatantly.

But on the fairy island, it is still used.

The fragrance was permeating, and the figures came and went, but Wang Cunye was in a room at this time.

It was a small and elegant room, with walls framed with mulberry paper, but no windows, so it was very dark, and a single wooden frame took up half of the room.

The candles were lit in two rows of six, and the light was bright, and Wang Cunye said lightly: "Let's talk about it!"

"Yes, this is the money and treatment you have given, and they are all arranged according to class. ”

First of all, there are two huge silver plates, covered with silk, and the Taoist boy pulled the silk slightly, only to see that it was full of dumplings like dense filament silver ingots, but it was ten taels and one.

"Zhenren, you have two hundred and fifty taels of silver per month, and another fifty taels as the county magistrate, totaling three hundred taels of silver per month, and now there are six months, totaling one thousand eight hundred taels, and six hundred and fifty taels have been spent, and all of them are here. Dao Tong said.

The cost is so small, but because all expenses are not counted, and there is a real person's clothing, food, housing and transportation treatment, which does not need to be turned into money, and is allocated by the relevant departments every month.

"There are also colored satin, silk, spring tea, ginseng, sandalwood, ruyi, jadeite ......"

Wang Cunye smiled, waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "You don't have to say it, it's the New Year, the two of you will each give one hundred taels, and the people in the house will give three hundred taels." ”

"Also, did I send a New Year's gift at home?"

"Real person, the county's Dao Palace, Guannei, home, and your county order office have all sent goods, and they are carried back by empty boats, presumably they have arrived. ”

"New Year's Eve, gifts from the gentry and merchants of the county......"

"I didn't accept any of these, and I refused anything more than ten taels. Wang Cunye said, it's not that he doesn't love money, but he just made his own moves, I'm afraid that it will attract the attention of many people, and with a shallow foundation, he can't give people a handle.

If you survive the catastrophe of the sea of sunshine and fire and become an "all-knowing real person", you don't need to scruples.

Dao Tong responded: "Yes, I will go and tell the housekeeper to deal with this matter...... Also, I just told you that the businessman who went to the mainland last time is here and is waiting for him, can you see the real person?"

"Let him wait in the side hall, and I'll go." Wang Cunye took one last look at the warehouse, and sighed in his heart, there is not much silver here, but when other goods are converted, I am afraid that there will be more than 10,000 taels.

This is only half a year's supply, so it can be seen how many resources the Daomen has obtained from the entire world!

Wang Cunye doesn't think that Dao Xin is to regard wealth as dung, in his opinion, respecting wealth is respecting humanity, not to mention now, even the power of the immortals can't be despised by it.

This thought passed as soon as he went out, and when he reached the door, the sky was completely overcast, and the clouds were heavy above, and layers of snowflakes fell.

When he entered, he saw a man bowing: "Meet the real person!"

"It's overcast, put on some candles. Wang Cunye commanded, and smiled at the businessman: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I thought you would come over for the New Year!"

Li You hurriedly said with a smile: "How dare the villain snub the real person, and immediately rush to tell the truth when it is sold out." ”

I'm afraid it's a heavy profit that moves people's hearts, it's not that there are no higher profits on the sea, there are more, but Qingqiong Island is different from the Daodao Island of Lianyun Road, only two days away from the mainland, and the wind and waves are very small, so there is no risk for a boatload of dried fish.

Without risk, the profit is very considerable, and the three boats have arrived at the dock, which Wang Cunye already knew.

But needless to say, Wang Cunye sat on the pier and said, "What about the situation?"

Li You said: "Real person, the sale is very good, the dried fish is solid, there is salt in it, it is very popular, a hundred stones were sprinkled in the county, and it was sold in five days, and now I want to buy another five hundred stones." ”

Wang Cunye nodded, but did not speak, and was silent for a while before he said: "Five hundred stones have not been collected yet, mainly because it has been snowing and raining recently, and there is no sun to dry, you have to wait a while, and you will celebrate the New Year here." ”

"Yes, the villain knows, but there are a few shops with people coming along, you see?"

Wang Cunye knew what this meant as soon as he heard it, and smiled: "I heard that you also brought a gift and took it back, don't worry, as soon as I make a promise, no one else will be able to buy from me." ”

If it is a businessman, of course, it is in the best interest, but Wang Cunye is not, he doesn't care at all, no matter how he governs, he clearly understands that he is a Taoist, not an official, not a businessman.

As he was talking, Dao Tong walked in quickly, his face was a little wrong, he took out a piece of paper in his arms, and held it in both hands: "Real person, there is a report here." ”

Wang Cunye took it and smiled: "Don't worry!"

As he spoke, he unfolded it, but when he read it, his face suddenly changed.

The Taoist boy is cultivating the Dao Law, but he only feels that when he sees a dark, a murderous aura rushes out and rushes upwards!

The gloomy and snowy sky suddenly rolled, and when I looked at it with a gaze that was difficult to see with the naked eye, I saw a red murderous aura, rushing straight into the sky, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

As a mortal businessman, he was not so keen, he only felt that the real person in front of him was sitting on the pier, and the candles were dark and bright, and his face was a little gloomy.

Before he had time to think about it, he listened to Wang Cunye say quietly: "Hmph, really deceive me?"

As he spoke, he swept his long sleeves, took a few steps, and turned into a red light in a blink of an eye.

“......”

"This is really a human killer!" Dao Tong stared at the light and shadow in the distance, looking at the dark sky, and said faintly, there was no trace of the kind of young man who usually showed his innocence, so that the merchant couldn't help but ooze a cold sweat.
