On the second floor of the Golden Lotus Temple, in the wine pavilion with the 'Wuling Chun' brand.

Zhu Di wrote crookedly on the paper while saying a flood of words:

'Damn, old three turtle eggs. Engage in such a gold hole, and set it as a lewd pleasure. ’

"That's it! How much does this cost......" The second child also persuaded his brother to reconcile, and wrote unhappily:

'Turn around and tell the hair. ”

'Good. Lao Wu wrote.

~~

The third child, who was still in the dark over there, triumphantly returned to the ground with the sixth child.

"How?" Shen Liuniang had already made tea and served it to the two highnesses.

"Yes, better than expected." Zhu said in a good mood: "You can hear very heartfelt words." ”

'Poof...... Lao Liu almost didn't spray him in the face with a sip of tea.

"What's wrong? Am I not right? The third child looked at him puzzled.

"Yes, yes, yes." Two-faced, three-faced, six-faced, and non-offended the third brother.

"......" The third child didn't see anything famous, so he coughed and said, "There is a task." Recently, a large number of magistrates have come to Beijing, and my father has asked us to monitor them. ”

"......" Zhu Zhen and Shen Liuniang looked at the third child together, waiting for his next step.

"It's gone down there." The third child sneered.

"Gone?" The sixth man said speechlessly: "At the end of the year, the local officials who entered Beijing have gone, and if you don't make it clear, who will we monitor?" What are you spying on them? ”

That's what my father said. Zhu said depressedly: "I guess he doesn't trust us, I'm afraid that we will mess him up." He must have arranged someone else. ”

King Jin knew that his father had set up many groups of secret agents at the same time, so that they could develop separately, and he would know which people were the backbone of the future royal secret agents after weighing the pounds.

He also knew that if nothing else, he would be the leader of the future royal agents.

This time it is clear that it is the father's assessment of the various groups of secret agents, if he can't make the first contribution like the fourth military exercise, will the father feel that he is inferior to the fourth? Will future subordinates also look down on themselves?

Therefore, His Royal Highness King Jin was very anxious, and said to his right-hand man: "We must make a contribution to make our father feel at ease!" ”

said to the sixth child: "Our buddies have spent so much money, if we can't monitor anything, then won't we lose someone?" ”

"Third brother, it's you who are ashamed. I'm still a student. The sixth reminded him: "Learning is my job." ”

At this point in time, the sixth child vaguely thought of something, and he didn't really want to wade into this troubled water......

"Then you can't bear to watch the third brother be embarrassed?" King Jin's figure was quite soft, and he said pitifully: "In order to build this Golden Lotus Courtyard, the third brother took half of your sister-in-law's dowry. ”

After a pause, he said: "In the future, I will wait for me, this is all a thing." ”

"Okay." The sixth child is not only out of friendship, but also moved, in short, he changed his mind again.

"Great, our brothers are of the same heart, and its profits are gold." The third child happily slapped the sixth child, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Although my father didn't say it, I inquired with my eldest brother and said that those officials came to Beijing to file taxes."

"Didn't the officials who filed tax returns from all over the country enter Beijing after the New Year?" Shen Liuniang asked strangely.

"They came to Beijing to talk to the Korean public." Zhu Shen said.

"Has the Korean Duke entered Beijing?" Shen Liuniang couldn't help but exclaim, her fear of this name had gone deep into her bone marrow.

"Well, it should be these two days." Zhu Dao: "My father wants him to marry the fourth child." ”

"......" Shen Liuniang's expression darkened, it seems that Han Gong has passed the test again this time.

"Counting?" Zhu Zhen is naturally not afraid of Li Shanchang.

"Although the Ming Dynasty has changed the tax system, it is actually the tax system of the Yuan Dynasty." Shen Liuniang is very knowledgeable: "The taxes they collect, how much they give to the court, and how much they offer, all have to be talked about." ”

"You understand ...... good," the sixth looked at Lu Niang with admiration.

"My family is in the former dynasty, and half of the silk tea tax in the south of the Yangtze River is covered." Shen Liuniang said the most relenting words in a flat tone.

It's a pity that in front of these two, they still can't get up.

"Then why do you want to talk about numbers every year?" The third asked.

"Because the imperial court wants to collect more taxes, the prime minister also wants to eat more, and the local government also wants to keep more for himself." Shen Liuniang explained:

"The imperial court has the expenses of the imperial court, the prime minister has the prime minister's expenses, and there are local difficulties, so you have to pull the number every year, and if you don't talk about it, you will wait for the shortage of catties and two......"

"I see." The brothers were taught.

"It seems that my father has made up his mind to investigate these people." Zhu Mo shook his hands and said: "This time, everyone shows their talents, we must catch a few big fish!" ”

"Then we have to lure them to the Golden Lotus Courtyard first." Shen Liuniang said worriedly: "But in a place like ours, even if it's half price, it's not something that those places can afford to come, right?" ”

Not only the Golden Lotus Temple, but all the venues in the song are high-consumption places for the powerful and rich.

"That's right. If they don't come, how are we going to listen? Zhu also said worriedly.

"What's so hard about that? Half price is not enough, give them a discount and free order! The sixth smiled with confidence: "We are not really in business." ”

"My lord, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home. You can't break a bone with a discount. Shen Liuniang smiled bitterly: "Now that we are losing money and making money, if you get a discount and get rid of the order, then the dowry of the princess of Jin will be exhausted." ”

"It doesn't matter." The third brother said very freely: "As long as you can do things, you can do it." ”

"I'm afraid I can't do it." Shen Liuniang said helplessly: "Let's dare to make a discount, the threshold has been broken by the locals, how can those outsiders squeeze in?" ”

"Rest assured, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy or having the threshold broken. You can use the lottery method. The sixth said with a smile:

"Hurry up and have people print a batch of numbered lottery tickets, and then go to the city gate wharves everywhere to set up points in Beijing. The big red banner was pulled up with four big words written on it: 'Free Lottery'!

"As long as you leave your personal information, you can draw a lottery for free, and the prize is a voucher for our family."

"Then what if I let the cat and dog take it away?" The third asked.

"How so?" Zhu Zhen's eyes widened and said: "The third brother is so naïve, when will the lottery be cheaper for passers-by?" ”

"We can draw the lottery without it on the spot." Or Shen Liuniang has this kind of mind. Immediately understood: "The date of the lottery can be a few days late." Don't they all keep personal information? Let's single out those officials who went to Beijing and let them win the lottery. ”

"How to pick? At most, people will leave their names and places of origin, and they will not write their official positions. Zhu Dao.

"If you win the prize, you have to notify them, you have to give them a voucher, right? So leave your contact information. Shen Liuniang had already completely figured it out and said: "The officials either live in the post house of the imperial court or live in the local guild hall, so it is right to choose these two addresses." ”

"That's right, even if the merchant who lives in the guild hall wins the prize. For the Chinese New Year, how can you not invite the officials to eat and drink together? The sixth also smiled: "You have to pay attention instead, let the people next to you also win the lottery, otherwise it will be too good-looking." ”
