0173 Start collecting money
As soon as this news came out, the officialdom of the Beijing division was silent! No official would dare to say that the sentence was too severe! You are still in the mood to take a concubine when your father dies, you are looking for death by yourself! It's clear that you're alone with the other twenty-nine people!
Then Zhao Minghua was imprisoned, his family property was confiscated, and his family was sent to the frontier together! Seeing that a rising star of the Ming officialdom fell like this, it caused a burst of lamentation among everyone!
In fact, how can people in the officialdom be confused, everyone can see that this is Liu Haojia's revenge for these people to impeach him! But this crime is caught too accurately, which makes people indefensible!
First of all, the Ming Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and took concubines during the national funeral. Secondly, no matter what the real situation is, Emperor Wanli must deal with this kind of thing strictly! If he doesn't do this, I'm afraid that he will be looked down upon by the world!
So as soon as the news came out, all the officials who had the intention to fight back stopped! This powerful situation made them so uncomfortable that they almost vomited blood, but they couldn't open their mouths to speak, so they could only scold two sentences behind their backs! It made Xungui see a joke there!
When Zhao Minghua's verdict came down, Liu Haojia, who received the news, let out a long breath, feeling that the blocks in his chest had disappeared, his mind was much happier, and he finally had the heart to do things!
He immediately issued an order to arrange for everyone to start collecting money from tomorrow. But he also demanded that only those small traders be accepted on a monthly basis. Those merchants who don't pay money on weekdays will preach for the last time, and they should clearly tell them the time and amount of payment, and don't ask about the rest for the time being!
The gendarmes immediately became excited when they received the order, and they were ready to do a big job! However, they are also very suspicious in their hearts, if those merchants with a background refuse to pay the money, they are afraid that they will not be able to maintain such a big scene by relying on the money handed over by small merchants! Now they have only received one month's salary, but they don't want to receive the next month's salary!
After receiving the order, the gendarmes went out in a big way, and in the blink of an eye, the people in the entire small school yard were gone! Even Liu Haojia changed into civilian clothes and prepared to go to the street to see the actual situation.
When he went out, Liu Haojia picked a jurisdiction at random, and wandered the streets with confidence. When he arrived at the chosen place, he bought a bag of chestnuts on the side of the road, gave them to each of the family members behind him, and strolled around while eating.
After walking a few steps, Liu Haojia saw the color of the Jinyi guard in front of him flashing, and knew that the person who collected the money was coming, so he walked two steps quickly and approached. The jurisdiction he visited was the jurisdiction of Huang Shuncai and Tan Jianyu. Tan Jianyu rushed to the 100 households after receiving the notice, and dragged his uncle Huang Shuncai onto the street, just bumping into Liu Haojia.
Liu Haojia frowned when he saw the two of them! Because according to the rules he set, there must be at least three people when collecting money, one person keeps accounts, one person collects money, and the other person is responsible for maintaining order. So seeing only two brocade guards in front of him made him feel a little annoyed, thinking that someone was lazy.
But after thinking about it, he grabbed a purse from the stall next to him, threw a handful of copper coins over, and then pretended to be casual and said, "Aren't all Jinyi guards out of the street in groups of three or five?" Why are only two people so shabby? ”
The vendor scrambled to pick up the copper coins and said casually, "What's so strange about this! The 100 officials of their 100 households are ruthless, and they have eaten more than half of the vacancy! The people below are naturally more ruthless, what is so strange about only two people left in a small flag? ”
Liu Haojia was furious when he heard this! I've seen people eat empty salaries, but I've never seen people eat so ruthlessly! Generally, eating half of the empty salary is already considered frenzy, but I didn't expect this hundred households to actually eat the entire small flag!
However, he immediately suppressed his anger again, after all, this is a long-standing thing, and it can't be reversed for a while. And the more important thing now is to collect money, and let's talk about it after this time. What's more, he hasn't mastered enough power yet, and he can't control so many things. That's why he settled down to watch the two of them do things.
I saw Tan Jianyu and the two of them walking towards the first stall on the street. The stall is a stall selling braised meat, and there is a big pot on top of the car to boil the marinade, which is fragrant, and it seems that the business should be good!
When the stall owner saw two brocade guards coming, one carrying an account book in his hand and the other with a blanket on his shoulder, he knew that he was collecting money. He immediately put down the things in his hand and walked out of the stall, and said with hope: "Two masters, today is the day to pay the money?" How much do I have to pay in this stall? ”
With that, the stall owner swept the two men with nervous and hopeful eyes, trying to see the contents of the ledger.
Tan Jianyu turned out to be the Jinyiwei in this jurisdiction, so he was also familiar with the people here, but he still said officially: "Wang Youshou, I have called your nickname for a few years, and I don't know your real name, so I will register your full name!" ”
Wang Youshou hurriedly nodded and said, "My full name is Wang Quanyou!" This king oilman is just nonsense! Selling braised pork only gets a hand of oil, but you can't eat meat at home! ”
Tan Jianyu said with a smile: "Wang Youshou, don't call you poor here, isn't this a good thing has come!" According to the rules sent down above, your stall has a high price, it belongs to a first-class stall, and you have to pay two dollars of silver this month! ”
Wang Youshou's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Two coins of silver? Is it really two dollars? ”
Huang Shuncai scolded with a smile and said, "What's the matter, Wang Youshou, do you think you have paid less?" Uncle can charge you a few more dollars of silver to help you make up a tael! Hurry up and get the money! ”
Wang Youshou's face turned red with joy, and he waved his hand again and again and said, "Not much, not much!" This is the handover, this is the handover! ”
It's no wonder that Wang Oilhand is going crazy with excitement! On weekdays, several waves of people come to ask for money, and they almost have to hand over nearly one tael of silver a month! Coupled with the taste of his marinated meat, it is natural to take a piece of meat by the way when he collects money! Inside and out, I have to pay a few more coins of silver than others!
Now he only receives two taels of silver a month, and he almost saves a dozen taels of silver in a year, which is also a huge amount for a small trader! With this money, it is much easier to hear about the day!
After Wang Youshou finished speaking, he hurriedly began to take out the money from the blanket. There was no silver in the blanket, but a large pile of copper plates were handed over. And Huang Shuncai took out the rope from his waist, put the copper coin on it and counted the copper plates at the same time, and said loudly after confirming that it was correct: "Collect Wang Quanyou's monthly example this month, the copper has a total of two coins of silver, and it has been collected!" ”
