When everyone was almost discussed, Wang Cezhi continued to ask the man who hoped that his family could also get old three times a year:

"How about it, do you want to go to the six counties of body poison?"

However, the man shook his head like a rattle, and said with a smile:

"Forget it, although it's good, it's not home, I love home, it's better not to go."

Wang Cezhi didn't say anything more when he heard this, he had seen a lot of such a situation, no matter how well he described it, but most people in the gate were just envious, and they didn't want to let them go.

Because it's not home?

Because it's too far from home?

Accustomed to life here?

Worried about unknown regions?

Or whatever, there's always a variety of reasons.

But in the final analysis, the Song people are inseparable from their homeland.

No one wants to leave their hometown until they can't survive.

No matter how poor or dry the hometown is, it also carries a family word.

There is still a long way to go in the growth of the population of the six counties!

Wang Cezhi sighed, but Li Yuanfang on the side stepped forward to ask about the customs and customs of the poison.

Wang Cezhi also knows everything and says everything.

Everyone else listened, too.

Chatting like this, time passed quickly.

And after a few days of sailing, the ship finally arrived at Pingbo Port.

When they get here, they need to get off the boat, they are now an inland river boat, and it is okay to run on the Bianhe River, if they really get to the sea, they are afraid that they will not be able to withstand a few waves and will have to capsize.

At this time, at Pingbo Harbor, the county guard of Haifu County, Lei Xingshan, had received the news of their imminent arrival and had already greeted them here.

But Wang Cezhi and the others didn't stop long, and after having lunch, they got on the warship sent by the East China Sea Fleet and headed south.

On the shore of Pingbo Harbor, watching several huge ships slowly sail away, Lei Xingshan, the county guard of Haifu County, retracted the smile on his face and put down his hand.

The subordinate next to him asked: "Lord Taishou, this is just an envoy, and there is no official position on your body at this time, you are a dignified county guard, is it necessary?" ”

Lei Xingshan didn't look back, but said coldly: "Do you think you look like a fool a little more or do you have a little more like a statue in this county?" ”

His subordinates choked on words.

I heard Lei Xingshan continue: "Don't look at the fact that people don't have any official positions now, but they were found out by His Majesty himself, do you remember Jiang He?" ”

After a little thought, the subordinate knew who it was, and hurriedly said:

"But what about today's officials and heavenly officials, Jiang and Jiang Shangshu?"

"It's him!"

Lei Xingshan nodded slightly, and then continued: "Not only him, but also Zhang Tang, who is now the left attendant of the ministry, which of these two people was not a nobody, the highest Jiang He is just the head of a county like Ye now, or the county guard of a deserted place such as the Yunzhou Army, but look at what people are now?"

It's either a first-class or a second-class member.

What does this mean? ”

The subordinate was puzzled: "Does it mean that these people are talented?" ”

Syllable!

Lei Xingshan slapped him on the head.

"Talented? There are a lot of talented people in this world, but how many talented people have you seen who have reached high positions?

Today, Ben Taishou will tell you that in today's world, it is better to have talent than fate!

As long as you are destined to fall into His Majesty's eyes, no matter whether you are talented or not, you will be released!

If you can't get into the eyes of Your Majesty, what if you are talented?

Who will promote you?

If no one promotes you, you're just talented.

Although this Wang Cezhi is not well-known, I heard that he was an old minister when His Majesty was in the palace, and he had been working for His Majesty in the Yunzhou Army, and now His Majesty suddenly transferred him back, which means that His Majesty wants to reuse him.

Just look at it, come back this time, no matter how things go, this guy will definitely be able to climb within the three grades!

Such a dragon that is about to take off, since there is a chance, I don't hurry up to make friends, master, can't I wait for others to fly up and then go to the pole to lick it?

It is easy to know that it is easy to put icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow! ”

When his subordinates heard this, they suddenly realized and raised their thumbs.

"Taishou-sama! High! Tall! Or are you tall! No wonder the small ones are not as good as you, with this vision and analysis, you should not be too guarded, who can still have this qualification? High! Tall! ”

Lei Xingshan stroked his beard lightly, his eyes were full of pride, but his face was still forcibly calm:

"Okay, okay, calm down, don't say these fancy words, have today's official documents been handled, but don't wait for the master to go back and have to deal with the official documents."

"Hehe, don't worry, the official documents have been dealt with, in fact, it's nothing, the officials who have been made up to the county government below by the imperial court over the years are all very powerful, the official documents are really good, not only have the solutions been written, but also several, as long as you choose the right one."

In the past two years, the master books of the county guard have been a lot more idle. ”

Hearing this, Lei Xingshan's face sank and he snorted coldly:

"It's just the means of some officials, and I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, don't be a good person who reads the books of the sages, but I want to send this Laoshzi to fill the vacancy.

At the end of the past two years, all the official positions in Xiafu County were occupied by them, and the old man's nephew, who had been studying hard for decades, couldn't settle down...... Ahem, I can't serve my country anymore! ”

As soon as his eyes rolled, he understood the reason, and hurriedly comforted:

"Don't be in a hurry, I look at these half-people who come out of the political hall and only look at the data, don't understand human feelings, in the past two years, for the local data to look good, but no less offended the local gentry and heroes, if it weren't for the previous big gentry and heroes were swept away by the army, now the rest are small and medium-sized, I'm afraid they would have been counterattacked.

Everything is too much, and it must not be long before they act like this, and the world should be full of complaints.

At that time, the princes of Gon Gon will bring the grievances of the world to the court, so that His Majesty will know their shortcomings, and in the end, His Majesty should understand that only the children of the saints can govern the world with the teachings of the saints, and they will definitely return to their original appearance, and at that time, the Qilin'er who is too guarded will also be able to show his ambitions. ”

Hearing this, Lei Xingshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the master who had been with him for nearly half his life, and suddenly asked, "Who is looking for you?" ”

The master's face changed, but then he quickly put on a smiling face:

"Lord Taishou's eyes are like torches, how can the small ones hide from the Taishou.

Some time ago, the Zhangjia in Ningde, the Wanjia in Nanping, the Sanming Anjia and the Changjia in Jindao all sent people to contact the small ones, and complained to the small ones about the county officials below who were too harsh on them.

After all, they are all local clans, and it is not easy for the small ones to turn a blind eye, so they just say it, but nothing has been promised! ”

Lei Xingshan nodded slightly and stretched out his hand.

The master was stunned when he looked at this hand, but then gritted his teeth, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put it over.

Lei Xingshan nodded. A full forty thousand taels of silver, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said:

"They are all some of the maritime wealthy families that have risen in the past two years, and they are willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver when they inquire about the news, they are really rich!

Let the official guess what they are saying that the local county government has mistreated them?

According to the temper of those guys nowadays, I'm afraid it's the tax aspect.

These families have just risen and made some money, so they are reluctant to take it out, thinking that collecting so many taxes from them is asking for their lives, but every year they have to pay taxes according to the court's current nearly fifty percent of the sea trade tariffs, which is unwilling to do so! ”

The master immediately said: "Too wise, it is precisely because of this that the four families feel that they take the risk of traveling through the sea every year, so they finally make some silver, but as soon as they go ashore, they immediately have to pay nearly fifty percent of the sea trade tariffs, which is really too harsh, and if this continues, where can their family still do business, and even the capital is about to be lost......

Saying that, the master also looked at his own Taishou's expression cautiously.

Lei Xingshan put the silver ticket into his arms expressionlessly and said, "Where is it high?" Don't think that this official doesn't know, the profits of their sea trade are at least ten times!

One hundred taels went out, earned a thousand taels and came back, and paid five hundred taels, didn't he have five hundred taels?

That's still too little, where is this more?

They just want to pay less and earn more, and they talk about how difficult it is as if the court really treats them harshly. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The adults are right, they are too greedy, and when the time comes, the little ones will tell them that they must pay their taxes honestly and must not refuse to pay! ”

When the master saw Lei Xingshan say this, he was afraid that his heart would be cold, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Unexpectedly, Lei Xingshan suddenly said at this time:

"There is a Taipo Mountain in the east, and a few days ago there was news from above, where it seems to have found a place that is very suitable for parking boats, and the location is also hidden.

It's just that the location is a bit small, and you can park two or three ships with a thousand materials at a time, and the official hasn't reported this port to the East China Sea Fleet, and they haven't arranged patrols anywhere, and this official has recently given birth to a few juniors in his hometown, and the cost is big, the house is not big enough, and the land is small.......

Saying that, Lei Xingshan shook his head and sighed with a look of lamentation.

The master was stunned, but he quickly reacted, and said with joy on his face: "Lord Taishou takes care of the juniors in the clan like this, and he will definitely be blessed by the ancestors and everything will go well!" Too Shou Adult, there is something going on in the small family, I want to take a few days off, and please ask Lord Taishou to agree! ”

Lei Xingshan waved his hand:

"Since there is something at home, then take care of the family affairs before coming back, after all, the family affairs are the most important, and this is also the duty of the son of man.

If there is anything that can't be solved, send a message to the official, you have been with the official for so long, if you can help, the official will not help, don't see the outside. ”

The master hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Lord Taishou, the villain will definitely do a good job, how can his house be repaired beautifully, in addition, this silver ticket is not enough, and the furniture can only be added every year." ”

Lei Xingshan nodded and admonished: "Remember, the furniture added every year must be added, doesn't that make the family uncomfortable?" ”

"Little ones know!"
