Tian Xiurong was in a carriage.

Zeng Pengcheng was poor and could only rely on his legs.

It's still a pair of old cold legs.

Naturally, he couldn't keep up with Tian Xiurong's carriage.

Bai Xiaotian, as a classmate who was misunderstood by Zeng Pengcheng, it was not easy for him to carry Zeng Pengcheng on his back and use light skills to catch up.

What to do?

In the end, Zeng Pengcheng could only walk slowly, Bai Xiaotian had good legs and feet, so he ran faster to follow.

In this way, when Bai Xiaotian unhurriedly followed Tian Xiurong's carriage to the Yuelai Inn, and then watched Tian Xiurong enter the Yuelai Inn, Bai Xiaotian returned to look for Zeng Pengcheng.

When he found Zeng Pengcheng and took Zeng Pengcheng to the Yuelai Inn, a full hour had passed!

……

……

Joy Inn.

Under the gazebo in the patio.

Tian Xiurong sat opposite Wang Zhenghaoxuan, boiling a pot of tea.

His sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked face was full of joy.

After returning last night, he discussed with Master Wen for a night.

He didn't sleep either, but he was in good spirits.

He was convinced of the words of the regent on the Nine Immortals Tower yesterday.

The regent gave him three things.

This first dog catch, it's very simple, last night overnight, the dog in Youzhou City was caught.

There are roughly more than 300 heads, and there are more than a dozen large cages.

It was placed in the prison cell of the government office, and someone was sent to wait-

Don't let those dogs go hungry and thin, if the regent doesn't like it, it's going to be trouble!

The second thing is the Xiuning Straight.

Master Wen summed it up, from Youzhou City to Yanjing City for three hundred miles, this Ning Straight Road probably needs 30 million taels of silver!

That's a huge amount.

Tian Xiurong has been in office for more than 20 years, and he has only about 8 million taels in his pocket, which is still a lot short.

Originally, it was planned to collect it from the people, but the regent said that he would send the little ghost of the Imperial City Division to keep an eye on ...... Naturally, this is not going to work.

Master Wen came up with an idea.

The salt sold by the Youzhou government has two years to expire, so continue to sell!

Sell for another thirty years!

That's about 10,000,000 taels of silver.

Still not enough.

We have to ask the salt merchants, large and small, to donate a portion of the ...... Directly issue the donation amount, which can roughly raise thousands of taels of silver.

That's not much left.

Then collect taxes again, and if you don't collect them from the people, then collect them from the merchants in the counties and counties of Youzhou!

You can't collect more, but you can collect it for a long time!

Like what...... Forty years first!

This is the biggest problem!

As for the third task of implementing the new tax law, this one is simple.

Because the imperial court already has this document, this is to benefit the people, and the people will naturally support it.

The tax money paid to the imperial court will inevitably be lacking, and part of this deficiency will also be taken from the commercial tax!

If forty years is not enough, add another thirty!

Tian Xiurong didn't think about what would happen to Youzhou's taxes in seventy years.

Anyway, by that time, he was only left with a pile of bones.

What he needs is a solution to the urgency of the moment!

If you do these two things well, you will have the pleasure of the regent, and you will take a step higher to sit in the position of the Beimo Dao platform, and in this life, it will be worth it!

"The regent's admonition is taken to heart!"

"The minister assured the regent that it would never increase the burden on the people, and the minister also hoped that the regent would send officials from the Imperial City Department to supervise."

Tian Xiurong poured tea and respectfully handed a cup to Wang Zhenghaoxuan.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan stretched out his hand to take it, and Tian Xiurong's eyes fell on Wang Zhenghaoxuan's hand-

In the battle with Dongfang Bai last night, his tiger's mouth burst, and Xiao Wu gave him medicine and bandaged his wounds.

He has a white strap tied to his hand!

Tian Xiurong was startled, stood up suddenly, and asked extremely nervously, "Regent...... Who hurt you? ”

"In the territory of Youzhou, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall?"

He bowed: "Please let the regent know, your ...... Surely this thief will be caught, and the Lord Regent will be disposed of!" ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan waved his hand: "When I came back, I met a few rivers and lakes. ”

Tian Xiurong was stunned, his mind spun quickly, and his heart was groaning.

It's no secret that the regent entered Youzhou!

Could it be that the unsightly salt merchants were worried that the regent would investigate their sale of illicit salt in Youzhou?

These dog things!

It's just too daring!

Doing such a thing against the sky, he didn't even discuss it with this government!

If they succeed, they will really kill the regent in Youzhou City, and they won't want to be an official again!

My own head will definitely not be protected!

Tian Xiurong suddenly felt that his neck was cold!

These dogs say!

Let's see how this house cleans you up!

These salt merchants are exactly in need of money......

Tian Xiurong turned his head to look at the head of the martial arts who was standing behind him, and shouted:

"Martial Catcher!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"You go and inform General Tian, the commander of the government soldiers, and tell him to bring all the government soldiers and arrest the people in the rivers and lakes for the whole city!"

"Especially the rudder of the Banner Gang in this city, all of them have been arrested by this official!"

"Remember, you can't let any of them go!"

"Arrest them all and put them in prison and wait for the fate of this mansion!"

"If there is a rebel...... No mercy! ”

Wu Zhutou clasped his fists and saluted: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Wu Zhutou turned to leave, Wang Zhenghaoxuan opened his mouth in surprise, but did not say a word.

How do you say that?

Those people in the rivers and lakes are going to be unlucky again.

Tian Xiurong turned around again, looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan with a smile on his face, and bowed:

"Hey, the minister has always been open-minded, and he has always tolerated those people in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect these unsightly things to dare to do something to the regent!"

"Fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake, otherwise, the minister would be to blame for his death!"

What a man!

Wang Zhenghaoxuan looked at the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeky face and liked it more and more.

"Sit, sit, sit!"

"It's just a little kid!"

"In the face of the 10,000 iron horsemen of the second eagle in Nanxi Prefecture, didn't this king easily burn them all to death with a fire?"

"This little battle is nothing!"

Amu looked at Wang Zhenghaoxuan and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Just then, a voice came from outside:

"Old man Zeng Pengcheng is here to meet the regent, why are you waiting to stop me?"

The little two piled up a smiling face:

"This ...... Old master, since you know that the regent is here, how dare the villain let you in without the regent's invitation? ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and saw Tian Xiurong's face cold.

He asked curiously: "Who is this Zeng Pengcheng?" ”

"Ah...... Back to the regent, he is a scholar in Youzhou. ”

Wang Zhenghaoxuan didn't know what a school was, and thought to himself that there was nothing to do, since someone wanted to see the regent, with Li Chen'an's character, he would definitely meet him.

So, he looked at Amu and waved his hand: "You, go and bring him in!" ”

Tian Xiurong was taken aback, this Zeng Pengcheng was a hard bone, if he said bad things about himself in front of the regent......

"No!"

"Why not?"

"This person ...... This man reads and reads like a fool, ignorant of etiquette, babbling nonsense, full of nonsense......"

"Ministers, ministers are worried that he has polluted your ears and eyes Regent!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested.

I thought that there was nothing left and right, and there was no dog to stew, so I had to wait here for Li Chen'an to come back, so I might as well see what the person who read the book as a fool looked like.
