Chapter 18 What is the matter of this country?

As a new star of the rising community in Suzhou City, Dr. Lin of Hengtang Fish Market has recently been in the limelight in the circle of Xijiang Lake in the county.

Following the miracle of the two punches and the righteous hall master, there were also two iron whips that unilaterally tortured more than a dozen rioting boat people.

Don't look at the novels, there are fierce generals who are often one against ten thousand, but in reality they are two different things.

Positive one-to-dozen, and the real one-sided abuse, in reality is very amazing, such a record can definitely be called a fierce general!

For a time, Lin Tailai was famous for shaking the upper and lower reaches of the Xu River, which was reflected in the fish market, that is, the income from fees increased sharply.

On this day, Old Man Tang reported to Lin Tailai: "In the past ten days since the deepening of the restructuring of the museum, the fee has increased by more than three taels, and it is not a problem to increase more than ten taels of silver a month. ”

Originally, he collected more than ten taels of silver a month, half of which was handed over to the government and half to the hall.

An increase of more than ten taels is equivalent to more than doubling the increase, and the results are already very good.

Dr. Lin's main concern today was not on income, but he asked, "Have you been spreading the word about Xiao Wei Chi lately?" ”

He has always wanted to cancel the nickname of Xiao Fengxian, after all, there is always a little bit of derogatory connotation.

The iron whip was used as a weapon before, and there were also considerations in this regard, the iron whip is easily reminiscent of Wei Chi Jingde, maybe Xiao Fengxian became Xiao Wei Chi?

Old Man Tang said vaguely: "Perhaps, it always takes time for a new name to ferment." ”

Then Old Man Tang asked again: "Please sit in the hall and show me, how to deal with these new fees?" ”

This is a very central issue, and only Lin Tailai himself can make a decision.

Without thinking, Lin Tailai instructed: "First, half of it belongs to me; Second, the remaining half, each of the three of you will receive one tael, tentatively one tael per month per person.

Thirdly, the remaining silver will be used to continue to recruit people, and four or five will be recruited to enrich the fish market. ”

In just a few words, Dr. Lin made the expenses clear.

"If you think about it carefully, is there something missing from the expenditure items?" Old man Tang reminded.

Dr. Lin thought and thought, but still couldn't remember, "What's missing?" ”

Old man Tang said helplessly: "Did you forget to sit in the hall, you still have a hall above, and you didn't think about handing over a part?" ”

Dr. Lin immediately asked in surprise: "Why did I give the black money I collected by virtue of my ability to give it to Tangkou?" ”

The fish market has been located here for a long time, don't others know about overcharging black money? But why is he the only one who succeeds?

This is the value of knowledge, knowing how to carry out standardized management and standardized operation, this money can only be earned by Lin Tailai, which is the embodiment of personal value.

Old man Tang was speechless, the consciousness of this sitting hall was too high, higher than three or four floors.

He reminded again: "According to the rules of the church, recruiting new people must be approved by the church. ”

Lin Zaikan didn't raise his eyelids and said: "I recruited members of the Hengtang Fish Market, and I don't need to pay a settlement fee from the hall, so this matter is not under the supervision of the church." ”

Old man Tang wanted to say that this is why the name "Xiao Fengxian" is more popular, and "Xiao Wei Chi" is not popular.

After calculating the amount of black money, Dr. Lin felt that he should be able to solve the problem of county test fees. I don't know what kind of charter it is now.

There is still more than a month to go until the county test this year, and if you can't do it this year, you will have to wait another year.

In the end, Lin Tailai instructed: "In the future, the fees handed over to the county government do not need to be sent through the hall to send another person!"

From this month onwards, the fees will be sent directly to the county government by the fish market, and I will go to the county government tomorrow. ”

After everything was finalized, Dr. Lin, who is experienced in reading films, knew that the crisis still existed, and advised: "Although the situation is very good at present, there are still two hidden worries.

First, the fish sellers have nowhere else to go for a while, so they will continue to endure the additional fees charged by our Hengtang Fish Market.

If there are other channels and markets where you can sell fish, and the fees are lower than ours, these fish sellers are afraid that they will not come to the Hengtang Fish Market, which is an external worry.

Therefore, you must pay attention to the news, if there are signs of grabbing the market, we will make efforts as soon as possible to persuade the opponent to close the market.

Second, our fish market is thriving, and there may be people at the entrance of the hall who are going to be red-eyed, although they are not afraid, but they have to be prevented, this is an internal worry! ”

Old man Tang nodded and wrote them down one by one.

Suzhou Prefecture has seven prefectures and counties, and the city of Suzhou is actually the city of Suzhou.

Fucheng and its surroundings are divided into two attached counties, Wu County and Changzhou County.

Wu County is roughly in the west and south, Changzhou County is roughly in the north and east, and Lin Tailai is Wu County.

From Hengtang Town to Xumen, and then to Wuxian County Ya near Xumenli, it is only more than ten miles.

Lin Tailai set off early the next morning and arrived at Yaqian Street of the county government in the morning.

The yamen in the world all look similar, and the style of Yaqian Street is also similar, lackluster.

Outside the gate of the county government is still the classic eight-character wall, which is covered with various notices, crowded with crowds of onlookers.

Dr. Lin divided his hands, and the crowd made a wide passage for him, allowing Dr. Lin to easily go straight to the bottom of the list.

After looking at it for a while, Dr. Lin found the news he was looking for.

The county instructed that a number of cases would be tried three days later, and there was a sensational case of filial revenge in the case directory.

Then he didn't have to stay outside, and walked directly into the gate of the county government, but the second gate was not so easy to enter.

Lin Tailai reported the name of Zhang Liangshu, and then reported the name of releasing taxes to the county and paying silver into the treasury, so that he could enter the county office.

If it had just been a few days ago, Dr. Lin would not even have this name. Now that I can find the relevant name and enter the county government, it can be regarded as a slight improvement in identity.

In recent years, the standard configuration of local bullies is known as "entering and leaving the government to collect money and food", the premise is that they can enter and exit the government, otherwise there will be no back.

The main pattern of the county government in the world is generally like this, the middle road is the lobby, the six rooms, the back hall, and the east courtyard is the county judge hall, called the left hall.

Zhang Liangshu's public house is not in the middle courtyard, but in the county Chengzuo Hall in the east courtyard, and there is a reason for this.

In ordinary counties, most of the county officials are decorations, and the county magistrate assigns work casually, with no actual power, but it is different in the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because the money and grain in Jiangnan are too important, the southeast tax is the lifeblood of the imperial court.

In the government office, a general judgment for the management of grain was set up, and the county in charge of grain not only accepted the leadership of the county, but also was responsible for the general judgment of the management of grain.

In addition, the government can be responsible to the governor of Jiangnan, so a unique system of combining sections and blocks has been formed around the vital work of money and grain in the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, the counties of the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are really different from the counties in other places, and they are by no means decorations.

And corresponding to the rank of officials, the grain department was separated from the household. The grain department has a lot of dealings with the county, so the public house is located in the east courtyard.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw a man being pressed down at the foot of the steps of the judge's hall, and two officials holding water and fire sticks were taking turns beating people.

The man on the ground who was beaten couldn't even lift his head, and he didn't scream, and he really didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Lin Tailai glanced a few times and found that Zhang Liangshu was standing in front of the east wing, watching the officials beat people with an expressionless face.

So Lin Tailai walked along the courtyard wall, walked around to Zhang Liangshu, and saluted with his fists.

Zhang Liangshu saw Lin Tailai, said "Come in and talk", and then turned around and entered the house.

Lin Tailai followed in and asked curiously, "Why was that person in the courtyard beaten?" ”

Zhang Liangshu replied: "That person is the hall master of Shanyi Hall, and on his territory, he owed as much as fifty percent of the taxes last year, and there is no result in urging the tax arrears in the spring of this year.

So the second master was ruthless, saying that he would be punished for the crime of concealing money and food, and he would be beaten to death here! ”

The second master in the mouth of the people in the yamen refers to the county, and the eldest master is of course the county.

Hearing Zhang Liangshu's explanation, Lin Tailai suddenly felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Sure enough, I still have to take the imperial examination, otherwise even if I become the hall master, I still have no sense of security.

He dealt with tax arrears in the Qing County, and they directly arrested the people who owed taxes, tortured them and flailed them to show the public, but the small government of the Ming Dynasty could only be incompetent and furious.

What is this country, I ask fixedly, I think about it, take pills...... There is no problem with these three-character scriptures used in Daming!

However, in terms of the moment, it is a bit unusual for the county to clean up the dog's legs to death for the sake of tax arrears.

In Dr. Lin's cognition, this is not in line with the tax arrears culture of the Ming Dynasty, and the normal game is not so manic.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Tailai, he just came to do things.

asked Zhang Liangshu: "Today, I went to the county office, and I came here to release the Hengtang fish market tax." ”

Zhang Liangshu opened the voucher, and then said: "You send the tax money to the county treasury, and then take the voucher back to me." ”

Lin Tailai said again: "By the way, I also want to ask Mr. Zhang, the county test ...... mentioned earlier."

Zhang Liangshu asked rhetorically: "It's been half a month, why hasn't Anle Hall planted a flag in Yidu yet?" ”

Lin Tailai decisively shirked and said: "I don't know what Master Lu thinks, I am just in charge of the fish market. ”

Zhang Liangshu scolded: "I'm asking you now, and I want you to tell the reason!" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "Probably because Hall Master Lu is afraid of the Shen family in his heart, so he is slow to act, maybe he wants to rely on delay to deal with it. ”

Zhang Liangshu sneered: "If you don't want to do things, you still want to ask for a place in the county test for nothing?" ”

Lin Tailai replied: "The hall master doesn't want to do things, so what can he do in the next place?" But if you can pass the county test, you will definitely go to the soup in the next place! ”

Zhang Liangshu really couldn't understand: "Why are you so obsessed with the county test quota?" Is it still delusional to even pass the government test and the Taoist test to make a name for yourself? ”

Dr. Lin said with emotion: "The end of the universe is the public examination, and if you don't go ashore, you won't have a sense of security!" ”

Although Zhang Liangshu couldn't understand it, in the end, the "sense of security" still understood, so he said: "If it's just for a sense of security, it's not that there are no other roads, such as entering the yamen as a clerk." ”

Lin Tailai said euphemistically: "It's still the right way to take the imperial examination." ”

The Ming officialdom is known as the three-way progress, which refers to the three ways of the imperial examination, the school, and the officials.

But in the middle and late stages, only the imperial examination is the right way, and the others are all miscellaneous streams, and the treatment in all aspects is incomparable.

Zhang Liangshu said: "Don't you know? Officials can also participate in the imperial examinations, changing from miscellaneous streams to clear streams. ”

Lin Tailai: "!! ”

Calm down, this chapter grain book is the best at drawing flatbread!
