The second handover was unusually smooth, there were a lot of cents in the tax warehouse, and there were a lot of things in the warehouse, and even the rice yield in the granary was as high as 60 percent, which was higher than the prescribed 50 percent. In addition, there are also silver taels paid, totaling more than seven thousand taels, which is a bit unexpected by Jiang Anyi, who originally thought that it would only be two or three thousand taels at most.

Yan Kaichen gave nearly four thousand taels of silver, and even took back the money to repair the house, which was considered to be afraid of Jiang Anyi, looking at the walnut face that was tightly wrinkled and shrunk together, Jiang Anyi felt an indescribable joy in his heart. Lei Meng, these officials and officials, were ruthlessly frightened by Jiang Anyi's hot hands, and made up for the deficit in their respective hands with a weak heart, as for the Su family, they are honestly selling their property, and how Su Guoliang wants to deal with it depends on the mood of Jiang County.

Jiang Anyi was in a very good mood, and set up a few tables of banquets at home to celebrate, suppressing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, winning the reputation of the people, and filling the vacancy in the treasury, even if there were no taxes this year, he would not worry about money. When he was drunk, Jiang Anyi got up and went back to the back house, and in the past few days, he was busy with official business, and he didn't have a good relationship with Dong'er.

Zhang Keji stopped Jiang Anyi and said: "Lord, Zhang has some words like a fish in his throat, and he wants to talk to his lord." ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Sir, it is rumored in the county that you are a silver-faced fairy, the gods have words, Jiang dares not to obey, sir, please go to the study to talk." ”

Qingwu tea exuded a faint fragrance, Jiang Anyi took a sip of tea, the wine was a little less, and asked, "Sir, what do you say?" ”

"The lord shows his might, punishes bullies and corrupt officials, and is very happy, I heard the people of the stone mention that the adults all pick their fingers and boast, and they all say that Fuluo County is coming to Jiang and Qingtian, and Zhang is congratulating the lord."

"Hehe", Jiang Anyi smiled with a bit of smugness: "Jiang just did something that should be done, and he can't afford to be praised by the people." ”

After Zhang Keji praised Jiang Anyi, he drank tea silently, and the study quieted down. Jiang Anyi found that something was wrong, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and asked softly, "Sir, but what's wrong?" ”

"The sages once said: Fortune and misfortune lurk, although the lord temporarily has the upper hand, but there are still many unstable factors in Fuluo County at present, if you relax proudly, Zhang is afraid that the lord's disaster is not far away." Zhang Keji said lightly.

Jiang Anyi was taken aback and asked, "Mr. teach me." ”

The silver mask shone brightly in the candlelight, and Zhang Keji's solemn face could not be seen, but Jiang Anyi heard Zhang Keji's solemnity from his voice, "The case of Xu Mingyuan's bullying of the common people is the key for adults to win the hearts of the people, this case should be tried as soon as possible, and at the same time, Xu Mingyuan's news will be rewarded, and this person will be arrested as soon as possible, so that the adults will be able to gain a firm foothold in Fuluo County, and the people will not oppose the implementation of reforms in the future." ”

Jiang Anyi nodded, and Zhang Keji continued: "The lord punished corrupt officials this time, and offended the officialdom of Fuluo County from top to bottom, so we must beware of everyone uniting to deal with the lord." ”

Jiang Anyi smiled a little disappreciatively: "Yan obediently spit out the silver when he asked for money, and those officials and officials also handed over the embezzled money, how dare these people make trouble, aren't they afraid of becoming Zhang Putian's second." ”

Zhang Keji shook his head and said, "Lord, if you think like this, you are very wrong. Take Yan Kaichen as an example, how much silver he embezzled in Fuluo County, four thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket. ”

Jiang Anyi thought of the eight boxes in the secret, smiled slightly, and did not make a sound.

"There are also Wang Xiancheng and Liu Zhu, these two people I can't figure out for the time being, but the granary is managed by Wang Xiancheng, today's sampling of the grain depot, the grain mildew in the warehouse is very small, and the rice yield is as high as sixty percent, which is unique in Dazheng, which can be seen to be a new grain. I looked at it, the granary was stocked with 400 stones, based on one stone and ten buckets, and 20 taels of rice, and the rice in this warehouse cost at least 100 taels of silver from Wang County. Zhang Keji said with a smile: "If you want to take money out of other people's pockets, it is estimated that no one will like it, adults should pay attention." ”

Jiang Anyi frowned and asked, "According to Mr., how should I deal with it?" ”

"One by one. Didn't the lord confiscate more than 7,000 taels of silver, and didn't the officials and officials in the county have not been paid for four months, and each person was given five taels of silver, which is considered a hardship fee, and appease them. Of course, Shi and Dongquan are tired these days, and they also give some money. Zhang Keji said with a smile.

Jiang Anyi calculated, the county's officials and officials added up to one hundred and twenty-six people, and five taels of one person were six hundred and thirty taels of silver. Don't underestimate five taels of silver, it is enough for a family to live comfortably for a year in Fuluo County, and I think that the Jiang family only had more than one or two taels of silver back then. Jiang Anyi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yi, after the case is raised to the court tomorrow, I will announce the matter." Stone they each give twenty taels of silver, sir, you forget it, I have another good gift to give, Mr. will know when he goes back. ”

The deed of sale of Zhuzhu and Luoluo was in the hands of Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi told the two of them what Zhang Keji's situation could say, and asked the two daughters to accompany Zhang Keji, but the two daughters had no choice but to agree. As for whether the two women are sincere, Jiang Anyi can't care so much, and whether Zhang Keji has a relationship with the two depends on how well they get along in the future.

Zhang Keji didn't care about Jiang Anyi's words about not giving him money, he handled hundreds of thousands of silver taels from the Jiang family, knowing that Jiang Anyi would not be stingy with money, and continued: "In addition to appeasing everyone, you must also beware of these life events. Whether it is the account book, inventory or the record of the case, it is necessary to sort it out and leave evidence for checking, just in case. Especially Zhang Putian, the lord actually beat him to death in the court, leaving a handle for others, so he must be more and more careful. I asked Shi to pay special attention to Zhang Putian's house, as if someone was inciting the Zhang family to make trouble, and the lord had to guard against it. ”

The tea was cold, Jiang Anyi poured a mouthful of wine, and muttered: "I am indeed a little hasty in this matter, there is a way to deal with Zhang Putian, and he should not be killed in the hall, but he will be relieved, leaving sequelae and annoying." ”

Zhang Keji comforted: "There are good and bad things in this matter, if it weren't for the lord's authority, I'm afraid the handover would not be so smooth." ”

Jiang Anyi pondered for a long time and said: "Zhang Putian's matter, there must not be the slightest concession, this person is extremely evil, he should be killed, I don't regret it." It's just that the Zhang family wants to go over to the state to complain, how should I deal with it? ”

Zhang Keji smiled and said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, first of all, the officials protect each other, the state government will still defend the lord, and secondly, the lord is ready to prove Zhang Putian's crime, if the state government sends someone down to check, it will be reasonable and evidence-based, and no one will care about the lord's small mistakes." ”

Shi came in with a kettle to make tea, looked at the silver mask on Zhang Keji's face and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, now it is rumored in the county that Gongzi is Wenquxing, and you are an immortal sent by heaven to protect Gongzi, so I will definitely be an immortal in the future." ”

Zhang Keji likes the cleverness of the stone very much, and his daughter is very close to the stone, Zhang Keji has the heart to accept the stone as a disciple, but as soon as the stone hears that he reads and writes, he runs faster than a rabbit, which makes Zhang Keji sigh that the son cannot be taught.

Seeing Shi boldly laughing at himself at this moment, Zhang Keji deliberately straightened his face and said: "Lord, Shi wanders around all day long, it is better to let him learn some poetry from me, and I can help the adults in the future." ”

Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhang, tomorrow Sister Zhen'er will let me take her to the South Gate to watch the social drama, otherwise you will tell Sister Zhen'er that you will not go." ”

Jiang Anyi was amused by the stone, and scolded: "Bold, you dare to threaten Mr. Qi, you are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow, I want to ascend to the hall, you will stand behind me and serve." ”

Seeing that the stone agreed with a bitter face, Zhang Keji persuaded instead: "Lord, you have to punish this kid and don't bring Zhen'er with you, wait for the stone, this kid will definitely go to Zhen'er to tell right and wrong, let this aunt know that I made her unable to watch social dramas, and then she can't annoy me to death." Stone, don't hurry up and go to sleep, you don't need to wait here. ”

The stone happily went out and jumped away. Jiang Anyi was a little distracted, remembering that when An Yong was so old, he was really like a stone, and in a blink of an eye, An Yong had grown into an adult, and he didn't know how well he learned art from Master Hongxin?

Zhang Keji looked at Jiang Anyi's serene and smiling face under the candlelight, and a burst of warmth surged in his heart, although he didn't have much time to get along, but he knew that the lord was filial piety and bravery, and the most important thing was to have a benevolent heart, the bird followed the phoenix, maybe he could follow the lord to achieve a great career.

Thinking of this, Zhang Keji interrupted Jiang Anyi's reverie with a smile, and said: "The lord is very human, when he has great ambitions, he lives in a corner, and he should regard it as a stepping stone. ”

Jiang Anyi stood up and said solemnly: "Anyi doesn't dare to forget Mr. Today's words. ”

As soon as the candle burst, as if in response, Zhang Keji saw that the young face was full of sincerity. When a confidant died, Zhang Keji's quiet heart flashed with emotion, and he said as calmly as possible: "Lord, Fuluo County is just a small pool of water, and the lord will be able to cross it easily." The lord acts, just remember that you are ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to try out 'tax into one', and other things are insignificant to the lord, if the lord wants to go to the next level, remember the words 'Jane is in the emperor's heart', and no wind and waves will wash you down. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded, remembered something and said: "That day, Gonggong Huai'en said in a decree, saying that the Son of Heaven allowed me to perform the secret box, what is the matter with this secret box?" ”

Zhang Keji was so happy that he slapped the table, knocked over the teacup excitedly, and quickly got up to shake the tea on Luo's body, and said with a smile: "I just said that as a courtier, you should keep in mind the words 'Jane in the emperor's heart'. ”

Seeing that Zhang Keji was a little carried away with joy, Jiang An asked puzzledly: "What is going on with this secret box?" How can you make Mr. happy like this, is it rare to play a secret box? Isn't it just a leather case for a concerto? Except for the Beijing officials, don't all the local officials have them? ”

"Both?" , Zhang Keji said: "The lord treats the secret box as a cabbage, and there are only a handful of people who can have a secret box in the history of the twenty-seven states in the world, as for the county order, it is estimated that you are the only one in the world." ”

"Ah", Jiang Anyi was stunned by Zhang Keji's words.
