Chapter 49: The Inside Story of the County Yali
After coming out of the school office, it was already afternoon, and Lin Tailai returned to the county office.
As the old saying goes hundreds of years later, the rivers and lakes are not only about fighting and killing, but also about the sophistication of people, and some things really can't be pushed away, such as going to block the Nanjing flower boat.
Hushuguan is twenty or thirty miles away from Suzhou City, which is considered a business trip, and it has to be reported to the county government.
The magistrate doesn't have to worry about it, he has Feng Er Master to say hello, and all Lin Tailai himself has to do is to say hello to his direct boss Zhang Liangshu.
Looking at Lin Tailai who walked in, Zhang Liangshu said: "It turns out that you always step into the threshold with your left foot, but today you are the first with your right foot."
It turns out that you always say hello outside the door first, and today you are greeting first at the door. ”
Lin Tailai: "??? ”
Is this a problem with yourself, or a problem with Zhang Liangshu?
Zhang Liangshu pointed to Lin Tai and said: "This shows that you have floated, climbed the high branches of the county, and have begun to be impetuous." ”
Float you paralyzed! Lin Tailai was speechless, could it be that he saw the county Zun protecting himself so much on the Drinking Horse Bridge today, making Zhang Liangshu "jealous"?
Without thinking, Professor Lin responded: "What did Mr. Zhang say! The county of the iron grain department and the flowing water, this truth is still understood! ”
This chapter of the grain book is too underestimating himself, who hugs his thigh, it is impossible to hug the thigh of a magistrate who is about to leave his job, and he is not a promising historical celebrity.
Zhang Liangshu nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, the identity you really use now is the grain science scrivener, and everything else is virtual!" ”
Then Lin Tailai reported: "The current pressure is on Changzhou County, the county does not need me for the time being, I plan to go to Hushuguan to do something." ”
Today, the two counties are negotiating at Yinmaqiao, and outsiders look lonely and do not know the secrets inside.
But Zhang Liangshu knew all the plans and the inside story, and even Zhang Liangshu reported the plan to the magistrate on behalf of Lin Tailai.
Lin Tailai's plan was to force the Huqiu Xu family to compensate Anle Hall with 1,000 taels.
Then Anle Tang washed the thousand taels into tax silver and sent it to the county treasury.
Maybe outsiders who don't know how to do it are very confused, is a thousand taels of Wuxian County too much?
Last year, the quota for money and grain in Wu County was: 12,500 taels of gold and silver, 10,000 stone of white grain, 80,000 stone of grain, and 65,000 taels of silver.
If all of them are converted to the color of the calculation, the total amount is equivalent to about 400,000 stones.
Therefore, one thousand taels of tax silver is relatively short and powerless compared to the entire quota, how can it impress the county?
This is to look at the problem from another angle, as mentioned above, Suzhou Prefecture and even Jiangnan have always had a culture of tax arrears, and the government does not collect the quota every year, and it can generally be levied eighty percent to pass the assessment.
So last year, the assessment standard of Wu County was 320,000 stones, and the actual collection was 2.67 million stones, and about 50,000 stones were owed.
In other words, the amount of money and grain that determines Feng Zhixian's outgoing audit is actually whether it can make up for the 50,000 stone tax arrears, not the total amount of 400,000.
The amount of money and grain is considered an internal secret of the county government, and outsiders generally do not know such figures.
This is also the reason why the current county government is desperately urging all the halls to collect and pay last year's tax arrears.
Then according to the official color ratio of the Ming Dynasty, one stone grain is converted into two coins of silver, and in turn, one thousand taels is equivalent to five thousand stone grains.
In other words, 1,000 taels of silver can be converted into one-tenth of the tax arrears of 50,000 stones, in fact, the details are not so simple, but this is generally the case.
From Feng Zhixian's point of view, if one thousand taels can be knocked out from the Xu family in Huqiu, it is equivalent to solving one-tenth of the assessment problem in just a few days.
For officials, a thousand taels of silver may not be so tempting, but to solve one-tenth of the assessment problem, few people can refuse.
But there is another problem, the financial and tax system is laid out here, and the source and destination of the money must be registered and understood.
Donation is donation, and it is impossible for someone to donate some money to the county government office casually, and he can directly cheat the government as a tax bank.
Therefore, Professor Lin proposed a money laundering plan, and through Anle Tang, the silver was laundered into legal and compliant tax silver, which was released into the county treasury to solve the problem of Feng Zhixian's outgoing audit.
The reason why Feng Zhixian blatantly sheltered Lin Tailai is in the above confidential details.
And laymen will only imagine that Lin Tailai is going to blackmail the Xu family, and then promise to share the spoils with the magistrate, so the magistrate is sheltering Lin Tai for a few hundred silver black money!
Regarding another lonely question from outsiders, why Changzhou County suddenly gave in, there is also internal logic.
Lin Tailai went to Changzhou County to sue the Xu family, but Changzhou County did not accept it, which is the "original sin" of Changzhou County.
Lin Tailai made the matter so big that it caused a sensation in the whole city and could not be concealed, and then won the full support of the magistrate of Wu County, and the "original sin" of Changzhou County may be infinitely magnified.
Why didn't Changzhou County accept the complaint, was it because it wanted to shield the Xu family?
The hall that the Xu family smashed is the hall that clashed with the Shen family, so is Changzhou County doing things for the Shen family?
The Shen family is the Shen family of Shen Shoufu, is Changzhou County taking refuge in Shen Shoufu?
If it is infinitely magnified, all the above problems will be openly discussed, and the county with a slightly normal brain will not let it happen.
Under the current system, Shen Shoufu is not the first assistant who dominates the court like Zhang Juzheng, and there are also many opposition forces in the DPRK and China.
Unless he is a gambler, he can't afford to carry such a big black pot and get involved in the political struggle of the court.
Therefore, the things inside the official office are often unpredictable, and those who know do not say it, and those who don't know it talk nonsense.
Outsiders don't know what's going on, so they can only look at the flowers in the fog and even guess in order to spread the rumors. And those who know the inside story will spontaneously have a sense of superiority.
Now Lin Tailai's choice to Changzhou County is to force the Xu family to pay compensation, and only by doing so can it be proved that Changzhou County did not protect the Xu family.
Although the Huqiu Xu family is a big local household in Changzhou County, Baili Houzhi County is not easy to mess with, as long as they are willing to pay the price, there are also countless means to clean up the big households, just see if it is worth it.
That's why Lin Tailai said to Zhang Liangshu that the pressure is now on the side of Changzhou County.
For the time being, he only needs to wait for the results of Changzhou County, and he can do something else.
Zhang Liangshu asked strangely: "What are you doing in Hushuguan?" What does that have to do with you? ”
Lin Tailai reported: "The beauties of the whole Suzhou flower list jointly wept and pleaded, asking me to go to Hushu Pass to intercept the Nanjing flower boat, I can't refuse." ”
Zhangliangshu: "......"
It's completely blind, what kind of subordinate did you recruit? It's only been a few days in the city, and the travel is so extensive?
At the beginning, he didn't have any hope for Lin's character at all, it doesn't matter if he is a bad person, who can be a serious person? As long as you can fight.
But he didn't expect that Lin Tailai's ability in all aspects was so outstanding in addition to being able to fight.
Unexpectedly, he, a twenty-year-old grain book, had a huge sense of crisis that would not be replaced.
