Chapter 18: Rules

The original Shaofu in Xiahe County only took office in his forties, worked for more than ten years, and died in office.

In the past ten years, the landlords and gentry of Xiahe County have nothing to do with him, and the relationship is close, and the guests at the door of Shaofu are always in an endless stream during the New Year's Festival, and they are known as the best Shaofu in the history of Xiahe County.

What kind of accounting is good accounting.

Dare to make false accounts.

The predecessor Shaofu is such a person, so there are more leaks than handins.

The big families in the county are also waiting for the change of Shaofu this time, and they will wait to move around as soon as they are replaced, and several other families have sent a message to the Dou family, Dou Laina is worried and a little angry, what does this mean?

Facing Dou Lai's slightly questioning tone, Huo Guang pressed Huo Zhongru's arm and said, "Shopkeeper Dou seems to be a little dissatisfied with my father. ”

At this time, you must not lose in momentum, and if you lose in momentum, people will know that you are good at it, business war movies are all played like this, these people don't care about right or wrong at all, does it matter who is right and who is wrong?

Unimportant!

It's the benefits that matter.

I was wrong, so what, the momentum must not be down.

Seeing that Huo Guang was so tough, Dou Lai immediately paid for it with a smile and said: "Huo Shaofu has just taken office, and he is busy with affairs, I thought that your hard work for days would not be good for my health, so I specially came to visit the mansion." ”

Don't look at his pretty powerful appearance just now, in fact, he was panicking to death, if he couldn't find out about Huo Zhongru's son calling Huo Quai, then he should also go home to care for the elderly.

The newly appointed Shaofu backstage is like this, he only has a point of please, and he can't receive news from the other party for a long time, and several other big commercial houses have news, he is very worried that Huo Zhongru will take advantage of him.

His family's main grain shop and salt shop and female lu, if the previous accounts were checked, it would be 100% wrong.

But he couldn't show his cowardice, so he looked so straightforward when he came, but he didn't expect Huo Guang and Huo Zhongru to be even more straightforward.

Huo Zhongru saw that Dou Lai's tone had changed, and he glanced at Huo Guang, and said, "Shopkeeper Dou, I'm afraid there is something wrong with coming to the door." ”

"What can there be, it's just that Huo Shaofu takes office, and he can't be deserted, I prepared good wine and food for Huo Shaofu in the best female Lu in the next county, and congratulated Huo Shaofu."

Huo Zhongru, who was about to laugh out loud, noticed that his son was by his side and immediately shirked it uprightly: "This Shaofu never goes to such places, and the shopkeeper Dou still respects himself." ”

Dou Lai laughed, how was it different from the rumors.

"Father, Shopkeeper Dou is so kindly invited, if you don't go to visit, you won't live up to Shopkeeper Dou's good intentions."

Huo Guang's words shocked Huo Zhongru, what is the situation? But it immediately occurred to me that this should be intentional by Huo Guang.

"If you don't go, how can a father go to that kind of place."

"Huo Shaofu is really an upright person, so let's do it, the best restaurant in the next county, I will take a few brothers to congratulate Huo Shaofu." Dou Lai still didn't give up.

Huo Zhongru felt pity, but said: "Shopkeeper Dou is so gracious, my father and son are not easy to refuse." ”

Dou Lai arched his hand and said: "Then I'll go and prepare first, Shaofu is busy, and I will send someone to pick up Shaofu in the evening." ”

After this Dou Lai left, Huo Guang said to himself curiously: "Why did he specially invite Father to go to the county next door." ”

Huo Zhongru stroked his beard and said, "Silly boy, it's not good for everyone to see that he blatantly invites us to dinner, looking at the posture, there are still some things to buy." ”

This door is still familiar to Huo Zhongru himself.

Huo Zhongru turned the topic back to what happened just now: "Ah Guang, I was interrupted by Dou Lai just now, about the salt tax evasion, I have decided, I have to investigate." ”

Huo Guang looked at Huo Zhongru in surprise: "Father, you have decided, the investigation is very important, and I am afraid that the danger is not small." ”

According to Huo Guang's understanding of his father, his lazy father is not like a person who takes the initiative to take on such a dangerous responsibility.

Huo Zhongru said seriously: "The leakage of the salt tax in the county is so serious, presumably other things are the same, the money has gone into the pockets of these big commercial houses, resulting in the incomplete payment of our salaries as county officials, and the small merchants and hawkers have to succumb to these big commercial houses in order to make a living, raising fat tigers, and it will be even more troublesome in the future, the big commercial houses have stolen so many taxes, and the people have bought grain, salt and rice but it is more expensive, what is the reason?" ”

Suddenly, Huo Zhongru's sense of justice exploded, Huo Guang was a little strange, his father looked lazy but occasionally his sense of justice would explode, just like saving Ah Hao in the restaurant before.

No matter how good a person is at acting, there will always be some moments that will be exposed.

He is such a person in his bones.

After Huo Guang confirmed Huo Zhongru's thoughts, he asked, "Father, how are you going to check?" ”

"Shhh...... Well...... haven't thought about it yet. ”

Speechlessness rose again in Huo Guang's heart.

Huo Zhongru hadn't done this either, but asked tentatively: "Ah Guang, do you think that the investigation of each family should be carried out five years ago." ”

"Father, look for it, do you have any information from five years ago."

Huo Zhongru rummaged through, the latest information was three years ago, how could it be possible to leave so much information for you to check, the information from two or three years ago was also scattered, only last year's information was complete.

Huo Zhongru sighed: "If it doesn't work, check last year's, you also said before that last year's salt leaked badly, just check according to what you said, I want to make this group of people spit water." ”

"Father, check, find something and then fine, after the fine, the situation will be slightly better, but they will even join forces to fool you, and your work will be more difficult in the future, and even safety will become a hidden danger."

"What am I afraid of? My eldest son will come back after a while, so that they can see the majesty of the general, and who will dare to disobey. ”

Huo Guang smiled, he didn't expect Huo Zhongru to think of it, and knew that he was using his eldest son to suppress people, but after all, Huo Quzhi couldn't stay in this small county, what about after he went back, wouldn't Huo Zhongru have to come by himself? The mountain is high and the road is far away, something really happened to Huo Zhongru, and when Huo Quzhi got the news, it was estimated that people were already cold.

"Father, check, it's not a long-term solution."

"So what do you say?"

Huo Guang knocked on the table and said, "When it comes to the officials of the Shaofu Academy, the large and small commercial houses in the county, and other county officials, as well as the people in the county, Father, let's set a set of rules for him." ”

"Huh?" Huo Zhongru looked puzzled: "There are already rules, the salt tax is fifteen taxes and one is ...... grain tax."

"Father, there must be a set of rules under this set of rules, so that they all listen to our rules."
