The morning dawned, and Zhu Chengjun woke up from his sweet sleep.

As soon as he got up, he found that Yu'er had already prepared a variety of toiletries, and Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How could buddy ever have such treatment.

After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Yu'er, Zhu Chengjun walked slowly towards the Changxing ticket number.

As soon as he turned the street, Zhu Chengjun saw a carriage parked in front of the Changxing ticket number.

The transaction of carbon coupons can be completed anywhere in private, without the need for a Changxing ticket number to come forward to witness. Since the circulation of carbon coupons has been dispersed, it is difficult to see people in front of the Changxing ticket number.

"Childe." Lu Fang trotted over to greet him.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at the carriage parked on the right side of the gate and asked, "Someone is visiting?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, this is the horse and carriage that I bought for you after the three of you put it together, Gongzi will go to visit the county magistrate later, it is always more convenient to have a carriage to travel, and it will be indispensable to use a place to use a car in the future, so ......" Lu Fang replied respectfully.

It has only been ten days since I woke up on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and I not only have a 'wife', money, a house, and a car......

If these things were to be placed in the previous life, they would have to put a heavy burden on the back of an ordinary family.

Zhu Chengjun nodded with satisfaction and said, "You guys are very thoughtful. Zhu Chengjun glanced at the orderly operation of Datong Tan Xing and asked, "How is the business of the Tan Bank in the past few days, are you too busy?" ”

When Zhu Chengjun asked about the business of the charcoal store, Lu Fangdeng came to the twelfth point of spirit and replied: "After the charcoal store is on the right track, the villain is no longer so busy. Since the opening of the sales channel of New Carbon, the business of Tan Shop has been steadily rising, with a steady stream of new customers and many repeat customers, and more businesses in other towns taking the initiative to seek cooperation......"

After listening to the report of the Lu side, Zhu Chengjun immediately instructed: "Don't cooperate with other businesses for the time being, and slow down the production as much as possible in order to hoard enough charcoal raw materials, I think someone will soon exchange the coupons for charcoal, we have to prepare the goods in advance, and we must not lose our trust." ”

The Lu side boasted on the spot that Haikou assured: "Datong Charcoal has now hoarded nearly 300,000 catties of charcoal raw materials, and it will not take a few days to prepare all 500,000 catties of charcoal, and there will never be a situation where there is no exchange." Lu Fang then looked up at the sky, lowered his head and said: "The time for the meeting between Childe and the county commander is coming soon, if Captain Xu can't come back in time, the little one will drive Childe over." ”

Although Lu Fang is now the first shopkeeper of Datong Tanxing, he always feels that his relationship with Zhu Chengjun has always been not as close as Xu Xiao and Chang Song, and even less important than the newcomer Shen Ze. Although the Lu side did not appear to be deliberately courteous, it was just an attempt to bring the relationship closer so that there would be more opportunities to listen to the teachings in person.

Zhu Chengjun didn't know what Lu Fang wanted to pat him on the shoulder and chuckled: "You can still drive?" Multi-faceted hands. ”

Lu Fang raised his head flatteredly, feeling that his relationship with Zhu Chengjun had taken a step forward invisibly at this moment.

"Datong Carbon has been starting to expand its business, you are still the first treasurer of Datong Carbon, as for how big you can be a shopkeeper, it depends on how big you can make the charcoal line." Zhu Chengjun used words of encouragement to dispel the concerns of the Lu side.

Lu Fang seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and said solemnly: "I will definitely redouble my efforts and never live up to the trust of my son!" ”

Zhu Chengjun nodded at Lu Fang with relief, and then raised his eyes to look at the sky.

"Childe, do you want to go over earlier?" Lu Fang reminded in a low voice again.

In Lu Fang's opinion, although there is still an hour before the time agreed with the county master, arriving early shows his respect for his parents.

"Don't worry, wait for Xu Xiao, after Shen Ze comes back, the four of us will get together and finalize some major matters before we go to see our parent official, I think it should be too late." Zhu Chengjun shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

In Zhu Chengjun's opinion, it is not the case, the hall is full of Zhu Zigui, and he does not distinguish between the grains and grains, so it is appropriate for him to wait for the people who support him.

If it was a Hongmen feast, I was really going to lose my head, and it would be good to take more breaths and breathe in the air of the world.

"Childe, they're back." Lu Fang pointed to the other side of the street.

Zhu Chengjun saw that the two of them returned happily, and it can be seen that their trip to sell charcoal coupons went very smoothly, and not only that, but they also bought a large carriage of things by the way.

Zhu Chengjun remembered that he didn't tell the two of them to buy anything, and they were going to meet the county master, and it was not good to be empty-handed, these should be the meeting gifts they prepared for themselves to the group of officials and masters of the county government.

"What is this?" Zhu Chengjun frowned, as those officials, he had never seen any good things in the world, and these things were almost used to send away ghosts.

"Hui Gongzi, these are all gifts from businessmen of all sizes in the county who asked Gongzi to transfer to the county magistrate on their behalf, and they really can't shirk it, so they make their own decisions......" Even if Shen Ze knew that these gifts were hot, he couldn't shirk them.

Etiquette must be asked for by others, and Zhu Chengjun faintly felt that disaster was coming soon.

"You three come with me." Zhu Chengjun said with a gloomy face.

The four of them entered the backyard of the Changxing ticket number, and Zhu Chengjun immediately asked people to hang up a sign outside the store saying that they were closed to customers, and ordered people to guard it closely, and no one was allowed to approach the slightest.

Zhu Chengjun made it as if he was facing a great enemy, making Xu Xiao and Shen Ze feel uncomfortable.

After listening to Shen Ze's story, Zhang Hongcheng, the county magistrate, fabricated many inexplicable taxes, and this news made the entire Zhongli County business community restless.

"So they want me to intercede on my behalf and let the county lord forgive me for a while?" Zhu Chengjun didn't blame Shen Ze for his self-assertions, and was glad that he accepted these gifts. It shows that large and small merchants are very resistant to those novel taxes, since they did not choose to swallow their anger, Zhu Chengjun expects that the progress of the tax collection of the county master will definitely not be too smooth.

"This is a joint letter from businessmen of all sizes in the county." Shen Ze trembled and handed over the 10,000-word book signed by many businessmen.

Zhu Chengjun took the joint letter and put it aside, although this matter is hot, it is a good opportunity to unite with businessmen of all sizes in the county and establish his reputation in the business circles of the county. As long as you can respond to every call, even if you are the county lord, you have to have some scruples.

"Do you know how many privileged families in Zhongli County are exempt from taxes?" Zhu Chengjun knew that he didn't have the strength to wrestle with the county magistrate now, so he had to compromise in front of power. Even if there is reluctance in his heart, the tax will still have to be paid after all, Zhu Chengjun decided to be generous, this time he will be sorry for his identity as a reincarnation if he doesn't clean up those privileged people.

"Zhongli County, which is free from paying taxes and serving as many as hundreds of households, has the privilege of not having to pay taxes on a large scale by virtue of their fame and the privilege of not paying taxes, and the fertile land in their hands accounts for more than half of the county's cultivated land." Shen Ze's face was indignant, and after calming down, he quickly guessed Zhu Chengjun's intentions, and said, "Childe wants to take money out of their pockets?" ”

"Do you have any good way to get them to take out the money obediently?" Zhu Chengjun asked.

A trace of fierceness flashed in Shen Ze's eyes, and he said: "These people occupy the most cultivated land, and they may not have a lot of silver in their homes, but the food they hold in their hands is definitely too much to eat." Their sources of income are also relatively simple, and almost all of them rely on selling their surplus grain in exchange for money to meet their extravagant lifestyles. Shen Ze poured a cup of tea and added in a more cold tone: "This time, it was the children of their family who bought most of the charcoal coupons we issued at a high price. ”

Shen Ze was in charge of the realization of charcoal coupons, and with his extraordinary eloquence, he fooled those gentlemen into buying them for an astonishing ten taels of silver, and this transaction alone earned more than 23,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Chengjun also doesn't know which country's paste the children of those scholar's families have in their heads, and there will definitely be very few people willing to take over at such an outrageous price. As long as their side resumes the transaction with the court officials, the charcoal coupons in their hands are basically the same as waste paper. Zhu Chengjun didn't think about moving these local tyrants and inferior gentry too early at first, since they stretched their necks over and cut them, they couldn't complain.

After a little thought, Zhu Chengjun believed that the establishment of the grain bank had been accelerated.

"Other things can be put aside for the time being, and Yutai Grain Bank must be completed within two days. Changxing ticket number will issue food stamps again, what do you think? Zhu Chengjun's eyes flashed with a thick murderous aura.

Shen Ze immediately replied: "My subordinates have calculated that Zhongli County's grain production is around 10 million catties, and it is enough for us to issue 5 million catties of grain stamps." The face value of food stamps is set at 1,000 catties, and 50,000 coupons can be issued. The price is calculated according to the current grain price, and the issue price can be set at between five and six taels. ”

Zhu Chengjun affirmed Shen Ze's proposal on the spot, and said: "It seems that you have this idea early in the morning, time is pressing, the food stamps must be made before noon tomorrow, and you can find Master Jia on this street to make food stamps." In order to speed up the establishment of Yutai Grain Bank, you can contact these businessmen who write joint posts for help, and they will not obstruct them. ”

Once this meeting is in the same stream as the county magistrate, the charcoal coupons must be withdrawn, and it will always be a scourge to keep them. The pit people must always have a degree, otherwise with the ruthlessness of these local snakes and corrupt officials, they will only be unable to eat and walk around.

"Yes! Subordinates will handle it! Shen Ze consulted Zhu Chengjun about the style of food stamps and anti-counterfeiting technology, and then implemented it in a hurry.

Zhu Chengjun looked at the time, and a quarter of an hour was the time to meet with the county master, stood up and glanced at Xu Xiao, and said, "Go!" Let's go to the county lord's Hongmen banquet! ”

"Hongmen Banquet? Hearty? Xu Xiao followed behind Zhu Chengjun step by step, very curious about the so-called Hongmen Banquet.

Zhu Chengjun said with emotion: "It has always been a banquet without a good banquet. ”

Out of the Changxing ticket number, Zhu Chengjun and Xu Xiao sat on the wheel and swaggered to the county office.

After walking for half an hour, Zhu Chengjun inadvertently noticed two tax collectors who had a relationship with him, seeing that they were in a hurry, and he wanted to go to which business to collect taxes. When you meet an 'acquaintance', you have to say hello to it, Zhu Chengjun immediately asked Xu Xiao to stop, and before the carriage could stop steadily, Zhu Chengjun jumped down and walked quickly to the two, and greeted with a smile: "Two adults, I haven't seen you for a few days, but it's been good lately." ”

"Yo! Zhu Gongzi! The two had a very good impression of Zhu Chengjun, and bowed their hands respectfully and politely.

"Zhu Gongzi is now the guest of honor of the county lord, and your care will be indispensable in the future."

Zhu Chengjun pretended to be modest and said, "How dare you, how dare you." Two adults, this is going to be a tolerance? ”

"Don't hide it from Zhu Gongzi, this time I went to the countryside to collect agricultural taxes, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back one day." The two complained bitterly.

Zhu Chengjun glanced around, gave the two of them a 'heart' and said with a smile: "The two adults have worked hard outside, these should be regarded as wine money for the two and all the adults, a small meaning, not a tribute." ”

The two knew that there would be no benefits for no reason, so they approached Zhu Chengjun and whispered: "Zhu Gongzi has any orders, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Seeing that the two of them were so good, but they didn't save a lot of lips and tongues, Zhu Chengjun glanced around, lowered his voice and said: "I have been out for many days, and I am very worried about my old father at home. Please bring a message to the two adults, and please also ask the two adults to 'care' about his old man's home, and the next home is in the ............."

When the two of them heard the address, the smile on their faces became even stronger, and they promised on the spot: "What a coincidence!" The village where Zhu Gongzi's house is located happens to be in charge of us, please rest assured that Zhu Gongzi, we will definitely bring your words. ”

"The two adults are busy with official business, and it's too late to drink the farewell wine today, so let's make up for it later." Zhu Chengjun glanced at the two of them with a 'men understand'.

Xu Xiao saw that the three of them had negotiated, and hurriedly asked: "Big brother, the time is almost up, if you don't go to Master Zhang, you will be blamed." ”

The adult surnamed Zhang, Zhongli County, was just that, and the two tax collectors knew better what to do.

"It turns out that Zhu Gongzi is in a hurry to go to the appointment of the county commander, don't delay, you and I will say goodbye." The two tax collectors behaved more respectfully and politely to Zhu Chengjun.

"See you two." Zhu Chengjun gently shook the two tax collectors, turned around and climbed into the carriage.

What kind of attitude the ancient officials would have towards the people at the bottom, it is not difficult for Zhu Chengjun to imagine that with such a delicate relationship as the county magistrate, he will definitely be able to save the family a lot of unnecessary trouble. Taking advantage of the fact that he still has a little use in front of the county master, he used this favor earlier when he should have used it, and whether he can happily 'cooperate' this time is a matter of two words.

When he came to the county office, Zhu Chengjun showed the county magistrate's handwritten letter to the guards.

The official in charge of guarding the door knew that Zhu Chengjun was invited by the county magistrate, and immediately opened the door for convenience.
