102. Tax Collector

The west of Yuntai County is already in chaos, and the east of Yuntai County is still prosperous.

However, according to Lao Liu's description, with the influx of a large number of refugees, the security of Dongyang County has also been greatly impacted.

But Dongyang is, after all, a prosperous place of commerce, and if these refugees can slowly digest it, they may be able to make this flowery place even more prosperous.

Lu Junyi said goodbye and left at the right time.

The wine is still open, and the banquet is even more lively.

And the sixth child, also in this staggered situation, knows the development of the owner in the past two or three months, and knows what the confidence of the owner dares to scold the mayor Xie Yanwu!

This shocked the sixth child's heart, and at the same time, he felt that he had to meet the master!

In the future, he will be closely behind the owner, and the future will definitely be limitless.

He silently thought of a sentence he said when he was listening to the lecture hall in Dongyang County: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, so he should assist the Lord Ming and achieve a career!" ”

Qingcheng Zheng family.

"Ren JiaΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Is it Ning Xiangzhai's Ren family? ”

A woman dressed in cloth and looking like an ordinary peasant woman looked at the family letter in her hand and asked.

"Madam, is it the Ren family, did the head of the family mention the Ren family? The head of the family is far away in Dongyang, how do you know about the Ren family? ”

The old butler, who was sweeping the courtyard, replied.

He was with the old man of the Zheng family, and he took the young Zheng Shaoguan to sea in the early years, and later when he went to sea, he was injured for the Zheng family, and when he was older, he returned to the Zheng family in Qingcheng as a housekeeper, and his dedication to the Zheng family was enough to fill the gap between the master and the servant.

Therefore, the conversation is also more casual.

"It was the Ren family's caravan that went to Dongyang.

In the young officer's letter to his family this time, he specifically mentioned the Ren family, and also mentioned the head of the Ren family. On the one hand, he said that the soap of Ning Xiangzhai can take our trade route to Dongyang in the future. At the same time, he also asked me about the head of the Ren family, saying that this person seems to be very capable, let us have more contact with him, maybe we will gain something. ”

Mrs. Zheng looked at the letter and said, "In a few days, the flowers in the Hundred Gardens will bloom, so invite the head of the Ren family and his wife to come and visit." ”

The women of the merchant family are not as particular as the ladies of the official family, and the old housekeeper responded.

Ren Mansion, Ren Pingsheng lay on the recliner in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky.

Because of the wine, his face was flushed, and he peeled the washed grapes next to him and sent them to his mouth one by one.

Forget the book and carry a small bench to pinch his feet.

Qingyin was there to cut cantaloupe for Ren Pingsheng.

Siqi played the pipa and hummed a folk tune, and his voice was very tactful.

Xiao Wan sat on the steps, holding her cheeks with her hands, staring at the moon in the sky.

A gust of wind blew, the pomegranate tree swayed with the wind, and the flower bones had already shown their color, the red was like fire, gorgeous and festive.

"I haven't looked at the stars like this in years."

Ren Pingsheng comfortably held the grapes sent by the picturesque.

Sweet, it is a special sweet grape that he bought in the supermarket, which is high in sugar.

A rare moment of leisure time calmed the mind of this migrant worker who originally planned to enjoy life, and gradually became mentally sleepy.

"These grapes and cantaloupe, you can eat them separately."

Yawning, Ren Ping was in good business, waved his hand and went to sleep in the house.

The four maids were surprised, you hung me and I hung up, and you and I shared grapes and cantaloupe.

It's sweet, fragrant, and tastes like a fairy fruit!

"How nice is my lord!"

They couldn't help but think to themselves.

"Young master, don't you warm the bed?"

Xiao Wan, who was holding her chin in a daze, saw Ren Pingsheng enter the house, followed in, gently tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and then approached and asked.

"Huhuhu~"

She was answered by a burst of snoring.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Wan pouted, gently approached Ren Pingsheng, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then hit a deer on his chest, and kissed him on the cheek, as if he had done something wrong, and fled in a hurry.

The next day, the sun was very good, and there was a row of small birds on the wall of the town office, chirping, combing their feathers one by one, sticking their heads out and shrinking their heads, very vibrant. Under the wall, a fat yellow and white cat looked up at the birds, and a pair of round eyes kept rolling around their bodies, as if they had some bad idea.

"Lord Wang, you move to the flower viewing hall first, let's drink tea first, the tax money has already been prepared, wait for the people below to weigh it again."

Xie Yanwu walked in with a man in a gray robe who looked to be forty years old.

"Mayor Xie is polite."

The tax collector said politely.

"Where, these should have been done by Wu Tuanlian, but he has been out again these days, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome."

Xie Yanwu led the tax collector to the flower viewing pavilion.

The cherry blossom hall has only three walls, one of which has no wall right in front of a small garden.

The flowers of water, land, grass and trees are very lovely.

At this time, the plum, peony, rhododendron, begonia in the garden, the flowers are bewitching, rippling with the wind, the faint fragrance of flowers, refreshing people's hearts, accompanied by the fragrance of tea in the cup, and the faint aftersound of the beautiful pipa in the distance, it is really a good enjoyment of life!

"Delicate flowers, beauties, music, this kind of humor, it's really enviable! Mayor Xie enjoys such a thing, even the county is not as good as you! ”

The tax collector couldn't help but sigh.

"Where, if Lord Wang likes it, welcome to come often, come often!"

Xie Yanwu saw that the tax collector liked it, and his face was overjoyed.

Chat while drinking tea.

"Lord Wang, have you ever heard of Ning Xiang Zhai?"

Xie Yanwu suddenly asked.

"Of course, Chengguan Town has just opened a store recently, and it is quite popular with the ladies and sons in the city, and it seems to have become a kind of romance."

The tax collector nodded and said.

"This Ning Xiang Zhai is from the Ren Mansion of Qingcheng Town, Ning Xiang Zhai is a daily income, and the monthly profit is not less than this number!"

Xie Yanwu stretched out two hands.

"One hundred taels?"

The tax collector said.

"Nope."

Xie Yanwu shook his head.

"A thousand taels!?"

The tax collector exclaimed.

"Not bad!"

Xie Yanwu nodded: "I see that Qingcheng Town is rich, but it is the Ren family." However, although this Ning Xiangzhai has a lot of income, it relies on Ren Fu to have some force and never pays taxes, otherwise where is the only tax collected by Qingcheng? ”

"By force?"

The corner of the tax collector's mouth showed a hint of sneer, and in a blink of an eye, he retracted: "Is it really just an ordinary businessman?" ”

"Of course, this person is a farmer in Liujia Village, and it has been less than half a year since he moved to Qingcheng Town, so what can he do?

With this soap formula, now relying on a condensing incense Zhai, he has bought a farm, set up a caravan, and hired and trained a group of thugs to be powerful in the town, but they don't look at the town officials, which is extremely arrogant!

Yesterday, the messengers of the town government collected taxes at the city gate, and they beat them up, which was simply lawless! ”

Xie Yanwu said indignantly.
