Chapter 206: Don't Think About Eating Alone
Zhao Xing looked at the sign that was almost on his nose, and the sweat on his head came down as soon as he "brushed", and the three words "Jing Chengsi" were like a life talisman that made him dare not say another word.
The previous group of officials ran back to the palace and only told him that there was a four-grade official in Kyoto, and Zhao Er was kicked into the dye vat and not allowed to come out, but he never thought that this four-grade official was actually the inspector of the "Jing Cheng Division", didn't he meet the living Hades?
Whether it is the Beijing official of Daliang or the local magistrate, no one does not know what the "Jing Cheng Division" does! There is such a tacit understanding in officialdom, that is, you can provoke anyone, don't mess with "Jing Chengsi", because they don't reason with you, as long as they have suspicions about you, they can check you, and they don't need any evidence. And if they catch the pigtails, they can ask for your head without even interrogating.
Officials of the second rank and above can be a little better, more or less "Jing Cheng Si" still has to save some face for the emperor, but officials below the second rank mention "Jing Cheng Si" as if they mentioned ghosts.
Speaking of which, the "Jing Cheng Division" is very cautious in doing things, and it is easy not to openly investigate the officials of the DPRK and China and officials in various localities at will, but on weekdays, a large number of secret agents will be sent out to listen to some news, so officials at all levels are also as cautious as possible on weekdays, because no one knows which person around them is the secret stake sent by the "Jing Cheng Division".
But if there is an official of the "Jing Cheng Division" once the sign is displayed, it means that I am going to check you, because I have begun to doubt you. Not only will you be investigated, but you must also cooperate fully during the investigation, and you will be convicted of treason if you do not comply.
Therefore, the department of "Jingcheng Division" is a department that the emperor fears and worries about, and the only important point is that all the officials of the "Jingcheng Division" must be 100% loyal to the current saint, and they must be personally selected by the saint.
Zhao Xing looked at the sign in front of him, and his urine was about to come out, this is a person with a ghost in his heart.
If you are a clean official with clean sleeves, I don't care about what "respects the division", and I haven't committed it in your hands. But corrupt officials are different, he has an ulterior secret in his heart, once he sees the words "Jing Chengsi", the first thing that comes to mind is that they have the right to cut first and then play, and they will want their own heads.
"It turned out to be the inspector of the 'Jing Cheng Division'! This Zhao Er is really blind, and it's not a pity to die! It was the lower official's lax control on weekdays that allowed this rabbit cub to disturb the adult's itinerary, please raise your noble hand and give the lower official a chance to make amends. ”
At this time, Zhao Xing no longer had the heart to intercede for Zhao Er, and all he was thinking about was not to be affected by Zhao Er. Now it's still a trivial matter to lose the black yarn, and if you don't do it well, you can't draw it if you lose your head, after all, no matter how much money you make, you have to have a life flower, so it's important to save your life at the moment.
Although the Zhao family covers the sky in Yujiang County, they are local forces after all, if they really offend the officials of the "Jingcheng Division" in Kyoto, it will not be as simple as dismissing the officials and asking for the guilt, and it may not be possible to send troops to encircle and suppress you.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the Zhao family is in Yujiang County, they are still quite afraid and jealous of departments like "Jing Chengsi", and try not to provoke if they can.
Zhao Xing kept greeting Zhao Er's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart at this time, although he also included himself, but he was also scolded.
If he provoked an existence like "Jing Chengsi" in his own territory, not to mention whether "Jing Chengsi" would let him go, the one sitting in the Yujiang City County Guard's Mansion would not let him go.
Shao Xi looked at Zhao Xing, and then at Zhao Er, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and waved his hand at Lao Wu, and Lao Wu stopped.
"Today is just a little punishment. On one's mind! Now I sit in this yarn mill, this yarn mill is my industry, this girl next to me is not only the yarn girl of this yarn mill, she is also the proprietress of my yarn mill, do you know what the proprietress means? In the future, if anyone provokes her, the one lying on the ground will be the end. ”
The meaning is obvious, this yarn mill is mine now, I am the boss of this yarn mill, and the yarn girl is the proprietress of this yarn mill, you can think for yourself what the relationship is with me.
If you provoke the boss's wife, the boss will clean you up.
How could Zhao Xing not understand the meaning of this? He never dreamed that she was just a yarn girl in a yarn mill in Yushui Town, and she actually had such a relationship with the supervision and inspection history of "Jing Chengsi", why had he never heard of it earlier? This yarn girl is too low-key!
"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands! Your Excellency, please put 10,000 hearts, from today onwards, the officials of this yarn workshop of your adult will send someone to take care of it, and never let those bastards who are not long-eyed come to harass. In the future, no matter what the lady does, just say hello to the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely do their best to share the worries of the adults and the lady. ”
The yarn girl sat on the side and heard Shao Xi and Zhao Xing's words, and her face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears.
How could she not understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words? This is tantamount to telling everyone that he is his daughter-in-law, and if he provokes himself, he is provoked.
However, this relationship is definitely much more effective than saying that he is his ordinary friend, no wonder Shao Xi greeted him before and said that it might be a little offensive verbally, it turned out that he planned to use this relationship to protect himself.
It's just that why did she become Shao Xi's daughter-in-law inexplicably? Didn't you say you were going to apprentice before? This teacher hasn't worshiped yet, why did he settle the family affairs? I've never thought of getting married!
Since the yarn girl was sensible, her father has been working in this yarn mill, and later after the yarn mill was discontinued, his father also put his life in this yarn mill. So since her father died, the yarn girl decided not to marry for life, and only wholeheartedly ran the yarn mill left by her father, which is her life's wish.
Fortunately, Shao Xi said hello before, if he hadn't been informed in advance, he would have said that the yarn girl was his daughter-in-law at this time, and it was estimated that the yarn girl would jump up and scold. However, at this time, the yarn girl also knew that everything Shao Xi did was to help herself, so she neither admitted nor denied it, but just sat there silently, and let Zhao Xing guess by himself.
Shao Xi "snapped" the folding fan in his hand and said to Zhao Xing: "I heard that the yarn tax here is very heavy, which has caused the price of cloud yarn to skyrocket, and the sales are not smooth, so that the people who make and sell yarn have no money to make. I don't care about other places, from now on, the tax money for all yarn mills in Yushui County will be restored to two hundred and fifty wen yuan per horse, and the tax silver for each cloud yarn in the cloth shop will be restored to one or two silver, I know that there is a private increase in the yarn tax in the entire Yujiang County, and I will go back to your county guard to negotiate these things, but you must return to the previous tax from today onwards. ”
This request made Zhao Xing feel embarrassed, it was not his idea to increase the yarn tax locally, it was arranged by the above, if he lowered the yarn tax privately, it would be difficult for him to explain to the above. But now that the inspector from Kyoto has spoken, he doesn't dare not do it, so it seems that he can only agree to come down first, and then send someone to the county to explain the matter to the above.
"Yes, yes, everything will be done according to the will of the adult, what the adult says, the lower official will do it, as long as the adult has eliminated his anger, let the lower official do anything."
Knowing that the other party's agreement to this matter was only an expedient measure, he would definitely send someone to Yujiang City to report the news later, instead of sitting here passively waiting for the other party to take action, it was better to simply go to Yujiang City to find the county guard. Just took the opportunity to solve the problem of the entire Yujiang County yarn tax, and at the same time secretly investigated the whereabouts of the money obtained from the private increase in business tax over the years.
"You'd better do what you say and don't think I'm just talking. Your Zhao family has been eating yarn making and selling yarn in Yujiang County for a long time, aren't you afraid of supporting yourself to death if you have such a big appetite? Now the official has also taken a fancy to this deal, if you can have money and everyone can make money together, it will be better, if you still want to continue to eat alone, don't blame the official for being ruthless, I have always been a black man, if anyone blocks my financial way, I will cut off his way of life. ”
Zhao Xing listened to the meaning of Shao Xi's words, and began to muttered in his heart, in front of his feelings, this young master is not just this yarn workshop, he wants the entire Yujiang County yarn making and yarn selling industry!
That is to say, in the future, he will have to share the sale of this cloud yarn, otherwise this-stirring stick will mess up the entire Yujiang County, and no one will want to make money.
Although he secretly scolded Shao Xi in his heart for having too much appetite, but when he thought about it, which of the officials at this level had a small appetite? Shao Xi has this idea, which proves that this person is a greedy person, since he is a greedy person, he can be bought, as long as he has desires, he is easy to be controlled, he is afraid of the kind of person who has no desires and no desires, you don't know where to start.
This matter of Yujiang County's private increase in yarn tax is actually an open secret to some extent, but it is not known to the person sitting on the dragon chair. Among them, there are not a few officials of the DPRK and China who have benefited, otherwise it would not have been possible to live in peace for so many years.
It's just that there has never been a person like Shao Xi who wants to directly intervene in this business, after all, officials are not allowed to do business in officialdom, at least not on the surface.
The inspector in front of him actually said so blatantly that he wanted to meddle in this business, wasn't he afraid of being known by the saints?
Shao Xi could naturally see Zhao Xing's careful thoughts, but there was no need to go into too much detail about some things with such a small county order as him.
In this Yushui County, he can suppress him with his official position and the power in his hands, and he is just an errand runner in the cloud yarn business in Yujiang County, so he really can't talk to him, if he wants to say it, he will talk to the person in charge of the Zhao family in Yujiang County.
"Alright, so be it! Prepare a boat for me, and I'll leave for Yujiang City at once to meet your county guard, Lord Zhao. Also, drag the one lying on the ground away, and don't let him dirty my yard, for I will take his life next time." ”
"Yes, Xia Guan will arrange a boat for the adult and personally send the adult to Yujiang City. This Zhao Erxia will also be severely punished, and he will never be allowed to appear in the adult's yarn shop again in the future. ”
Where did Zhao Xing dare to say the word "no" at this time?
