Chapter 130: A New Official Takes Office
After a few days, Yun Mingyan investigated the tax matter clearly.
It was determined that Qian Li colluded with Zhu Yonggui to increase the taxes of Fenghe Town without authorization, and over the years, he made a profit of nearly 100,000 taels.
This figure shocked all the people of Dongying Mansion.
There are so many taxes in a few years, you can imagine how much more they pay every year.
Yun Mingyan ordered that all the family properties of Qian Li and Zhu Yonggui be sealed.
The taxes that have been increased over the years are directly returned to each villager according to the previous share.
The land under Zhu Yonggui's name was also returned to the original people according to the actual amount on the book.
The land under Zhu Yonggui's name was temporarily confiscated as public leased land in Fenghe Town, and if anyone wanted, they could pay rent from the county government and use it for their own use.
The people were overjoyed, and this really solved their problem.
On the day Yun Mingyan left, he deliberately called Song Shu and Pei Xuan beside him.
Looking at the two, Yun Mingyan sighed.
"The capital is in chaos, I don't know when we will see each other again, if you two go to the capital, don't forget me, an old man."
Song Shu didn't know what was wrong with her, and suddenly her heart was a little sour, and she pursed her lips.
"Uncle Yun, don't worry, I won't forget you."
"Okay." As he spoke, he looked at Pei Xuan: "You kid is boring, there are some things that you don't like to declare, but what you should say is what you have to say, after all, you have been wronged in this place." ”
Pei Xuan didn't say anything, but Yun Mingyan understood what he meant, and after a long time, Yun Mingyan left Fenghe Town in a carriage.
Looking at Yun Mingyan's back, Song Shu suddenly remembered something important.
"It's bad Xianggong, there is one thing, I forgot to tell Uncle Yun."
"What?"
Seeing that she was anxious, Pei Xuan couldn't help but be a little anxious, eager to catch up with Yun Mingyan.
Song Shu blinked: "Uncle Yun didn't say that the Lord of Fucheng has changed, and I still have to lease the land, who are I looking for now!" ”
Pei Xuan: "......"
That's it?
Unexpectedly, this lady is usually very smart, but when she encountered this incident, she was confused.
It's up to her to figure it out for herself.
"Don't worry, the person arranged by Uncle Yun will definitely not be the same as Qian Li, and that person will also come to Fenghe Town to inspect in a few days, and you will know when the time comes."
"That's right, that's okay."
Since people will come to inspect, then there is no need to worry, besides, the spring harvest has just ended, if you want to cultivate, it will take half a month.
I'd better use this half a month to tidy up my shop.
Everything was logical, but Song Shu always felt that something was wrong.
Since Yun Mingyan left, this Fenghe Town seems to be too peaceful, it is said that Zhu Yonggui's land can also be rented, but she has been to the county government many times, and the steward said that the adult is not there.
This can't help but make Song Shu a little afraid, isn't there another inactive official?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, Song Shu couldn't care so much, and went straight to the mansion again.
When she arrived at the mansion, Song Shu saw a lot of people gathered at the door, laughing and laughing, as if they were waiting for someone.
Song Shu frowned, she finally squeezed forward, someone recognized her and hurriedly got out of the way.
"Let me go, Shu Niang is here."
Hearing this, everyone else also got out of the way, and Song Shu arrived at the yamen smoothly.
Just seeing the person in front of her, Song Shu was stunned.
This...... It's not ......
"I just said, Shu Niang will definitely come, Uncle Tang, I'm not wrong, right?"
Qin Ru smiled, the seventh-grade official uniform on his body had now been replaced by a fifth-grade one.
This is the costume of the Lord of Fucheng.
Song Shu's mind went blank for a moment, and then she reacted immediately...... Feelings, this newly appointed Lord Fucheng is Lord Qin!
However, what Lord Qin just called, could it be the county magistrate of Fenghe Town?
Wen Feiran laughed: "Brother Wen Yuan is right, I didn't expect this sister to look so immature, like a child." ”
Song Shu: "......"
You kid! Your whole family is a child!
But Song Shu didn't dare to say this, but this is also an adult, and he is a poor person, so he doesn't dare to look for death.
The surrounding villagers also had enough of the excitement, and after watching the three of them enter, they left the yamen.
Song Shu looked at Qin Ru and hurriedly congratulated: "The women congratulate the adults on their high promotion, if they go to Fucheng in the future, I hope that you will help me a lot." ”
Qin Ru laughed.
"Uncle Tang, you see, Shu Niang is like this, this girl is very smart, you can be careful in the future."
Nawen nodded angrily and looked at Song Shu approvingly.
"Shu Niang has done a lot for the people of Fenghe Town, I, as an adult, should take care of it, I heard that Shu Niang wants to lease the land under Zhu Yonggui's name?"
Song Shu then remembered that she had something to do here, and she was almost delayed.
She immediately said: "My lord, I want fifty acres of fertile land, I don't think it should be troublesome, right?" ”
Wen Feiran said: "It's not troublesome, it's just that the rent of these fifty acres is a lot, and there is so much land, I don't know what Shu Niang wants to do?" ”
Song Shu smiled mysteriously.
She didn't want others to know about this, but the two of them had a good relationship, and what she wanted to do was beneficial to the people, so she might be able to be taken care of more.
Song Shu said: "Women want to plant cotton, now there is too little cotton on the market, in winter, the weather is cold, ordinary people don't even have cotton clothes, who can bear it, I heard that there are many people who freeze to death every year." ”
Hearing this, Qin Ru and Wen Feiran also had solemn expressions.
Isn't it?
There are not a few people who die every winter, especially the poor, who have no money and naturally cannot afford to buy this cotton clothes.
If there is more cotton, and the price of cotton can be lowered, it may save many people.
Song Shu lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I do this, not only for the people, in the bitter cold land of the frontier, the soldiers are starving, if it can benefit them, it is also my Song Shu's honor." ”
Where had Wen Feiran heard such words, and looked at Song Shu, as if he was looking at something similar.
In these days, who doesn't want to feed their whole family and not be hungry, how can anyone think about others.
But Song Shu, she can think of so much, no wonder she came to Fenghe Town, and everywhere she went, she could hear praise for her.
If you were a citizen of Fenghe Town, you would be like this.
Wen Feiran looked at Qin Ru and said seriously: "I finally understand why Brother Wen Yuan values Shu Niang so much." ”
Qin Ru smiled: "That's nature, Shu Niang is not a thing in the pool, if she is there, don't say Fenghe Town, in the future, this Dongying Mansion will also become a place that everyone yearns for!" ”
The two of them said this, which made Song Shu a little embarrassed, but she did think so.
She wants to build a small capital city.
