Chapter 14: Lu Weiying's identity
Lu Weiying left with the tax difference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Also leaving was the tax from Shengjiazhuang.
There are very few people who can still save in this cold winter month, except for Sheng Fu who took out twenty-one taels of silver from his home to pay taxes, and the rest almost did not have any silver to pay taxes.
Fortunately, the generous Sheng Qinghe stood up, and he took out the silver to pay the taxes on behalf of the villagers. Instead, the people of Shengjiazhuang pressed the IOUs one by one, the richer ones took out the land deeds, and the shabby ones took out the house deeds. Of course, there are not many propertied people in Shengjiazhuang.
As a result, the most are those labor contracts that are densely signed and have countless incomprehensible handwriting.
This is what Sheng Qinghe learned from Jingshi.
Recently, there have been many workshops in the suburbs of Gyeonggi, and the people in them have signed up for a lot of labor.
Sheng Qing and his mind are lively, and he also wants to build a workshop.
I have no money to pay off my debts, so I work hard all my life......
Thinking like this, Sheng Qinghe happily accepted a lot of money, collateral and a large number of labor contracts.
The officials left, but the people suddenly became silent.
They looked at Sheng Qinghe, grateful and reluctant.
What is grateful is that Sheng Qinghe is still the master of Shengjiazhuang after all, with a sense of responsibility, but when and a conscience. In order to block the official errand, he took the initiative to take on a part of the silver that should not have been celebrated and paid.
As for the other side, it is also simple, when the official messenger came, everyone was frightened and did not think about it, and now the official messenger is safe. Everyone sighed one after another.
Alas, sighing, it is naturally the new tax that is forced to pay.
"What's the use of a good year, the official comes to visit, and the year's work is in vain. In this world, there is more and more no rush. ā
"That black skin is dressed in spirit, but it can squeeze the common people, and it is endless. In this world, when will we little people live well......"
"Hey, Brother Yong, in the past, you were the most eager and the most discussing. Why don't you say it today? One by one, the villagers walked towards their homes.
On the way, a young man muttered.
Brother Yong, who was called Yong'er, was a man with a small stature and a thin body. Seeing everyone shouting at him, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and returned his gaze to the person who shouted him. Obviously, this is still a short-sighted eye.
Myopia in these years is rare, and if you really have a problem with your eyes, you are probably blind. It is difficult for a blind man to survive in this world, so this Yong brother is also a well-known one in Shengjiazhuang. Brother Yong'er's full name is Sheng Yongwei, and he is known as the most promising person in the past to show off his talents.
It's just that somehow, all of a sudden, everyone said that this Yong brother's eyes were broken. In a hurry, Brother Yong'er's father and mother exhausted their family wealth and went to Beijing to see a doctor, but gradually everyone found out that Brother Yong'er really didn't get into the show in a few years, so they shook their heads and sighed, which became a strange thing in Shengjiazhuang.
Originally, this Yong brother also went to Jingshi, and his family was not in Shengjiazhuang. It's just that there was a tax increase in Wanping County recently, and Brother Yong ran back. After all, his parents are still here.
The person who talked to him was naturally a person who played with him from childhood to adulthood and made a fortune.
Looking at Sheng Cai's face as if he was only twenty years old, he looked like a forty-year-old man, Sheng Yongwei said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk......
Sheng Cai was stunned, obediently agreed, and took Sheng Yongwei to his home.
Not long after, a newspaper was spread out in front of Sheng Cai's eyes.
"Then Sheng Qinghe is deceiving me and being illiterate......" Sheng Yongwei gritted his teeth and concisely told Sheng Cai what he said in the newspaper.
"This and this ......" Sheng Cai is illiterate, but Sheng Cai does not mean that he does not understand the meaning of these words, he was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Alas, what can Young Master Sheng do it." That must be what Master Sheng meant, this place is the place of Shengjiazhuang. This Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi of the Sheng family, although we still have our own fields. But now it's all mortgaged, and if you want to make trouble, you won't be able to stay in Shengjiazhuang in the future......"
Sheng Yongwei snorted softly: "I'm afraid, then Sheng Qinghe and Lu Weiying are still happy at this time, but I don't know ......."
After speaking, Sheng Yongwei's face was full of mockery.
ā¦ā¦
In the side door of the mansion in Shengjiazhuang, a carriage stopped slowly. The two got out of the car all the way with their cloaks, and Sheng Qinghe entered the door with a smile and a smile.
Clang......
The door was shut, and one of them quietly left in a weedy pile that no one could see.
Inside the door of the Sheng family's mansion, the two people who got out of the carriage took off their cloaks on their heads. It is Fei Ding, the secretary of the county government, and Lu Weiying, who is in charge of the tax collection just now.
The two of them walked all the way to the study, and when they entered the study with good soundproofing, all three of them were visibly relieved.
"This time, I'm really grateful to Fei Shuban and Master Lu for their help......" Sheng Qinghe smiled with a smile on his face, this time his harvest was really extraordinarily rich.
"Haha, I'm just a pawn, I have no official or character, but I don't dare to be called an adult. As for this time, you don't have to be too polite. Cooperate with each other for a win-win situation. This is a matter of convenience, not to mention, if you want to say the credit, first of all, it is also the attention of the Fei Ding Book Office. The next matter of Lujiazhuang, I still need your help. Hahaha......" Lu Weiying said, glancing at a small wooden box in the study.
Fei Ding smiled leisurely: "Since I agreed, I naturally have to do what I say." ā
Sheng Qing and how to install those land deeds and house deeds at that time, Lu Weiying saw it with his own eyes.
Seeing this, Sheng Qinghe laughed, didn't do anything, and directly opened the small box: "When it comes to it, of course it must be done." This forty percent is from the county government. This sixty percent is a few of us. Although, according to the custom, it should be divided after the autumn tax is completed. But now that everyone is united, such a little bit of customs naturally has to be changed. ā
Saying that, Sheng Qinghe divided the recovered land deed on the spot.
After such a play, the atmosphere in the room was obviously cheerful.
Soon, everyone arranged things in Lujiazhuang, Liyuanzhuang and other places.
"Don't look at the village office of Laoshizi, it looks very powerful, it is both a school and a military training, and the battle is amazing. But I don't want to think about it, the gentry live in the countryside, and the rules have to be established by the gentry. If you want to forcibly intervene, you have to think about where so many people use it for him. When Liang Yixin saw me coming, he thought he would respond to the call, but he didn't want to think about it, my Lu Weiying's identity ......" Lu Weiying smiled leisurely and talked about the matter of applying for the Lugouqiao Town Police Office that day.
The establishment of a grassroots governance organization by the county government this time is to draw and distribute from various schools in Beijing on the one hand, and recruit locally on the spot on the other.
Although Zhu Cihong has been out of the palace for three years, two schools have been established. Imperial Army School, Nanjing Normal School and even the Southern and Northern Guozijian.
However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
In order to have enough administrators available for the administrative affairs of the Empire, such a small number of people is not at all. Otherwise, Zhu Cihong would not have made his doctrine a county school.
In this way, although the central center tried to form a grass-roots management organization according to the ratio of resident personnel to local people to one to one. But in reality, almost all of the people available are from large local households.
Especially those outstanding talents, they are inextricably linked with local large households.
For example, Lu Weiying is the son of Lu Fang. That's Lu Fang, the one who won the lift.
It's just that Lu Weiying has always liked to travel and study everywhere, and he is arrogant and usually doesn't see others, so he is not recognized.
With such a layer of identity, it is self-evident what these people will do after entering the power structure.
After sharing the overcharged taxes from Shengjiazhuang, he talked about the next round of action plans. The relationship between everyone on the field also became more and more intimate, and the atmosphere became cheerful, talking and laughing with each other, and there was a happy atmosphere.
It's just that in the place separated from this wall, I don't know that there are people who will endure hunger because of this, and they can't survive in this cold winter, and they will die with a whimper......
ā¦ā¦
Zhu Cihong began to set off to return to the palace, but stopped halfway through.
Someone stopped the carriage on the road, and there was no murder, but only a straw was stuck in the head of a dirty girl.
"Insert the bid and sell the first ......" Zhao Shiyao was stunned.
Zhu Cihong frowned and said, "Wang Miao, go and find out!" ā
Half a day later.
"Holy Lord, the situation has been clarified." It was Wang Miao who spoke, and this man with a rather fat figure had now lost weight, or had become more lean.
Since Zhu Cihong took over the Jinyi Guard from Emperor Chongzhen, this once abandoned institution has begun to shine brightly. And gradually, the Jin Yiwei's can only begin to divide into two sides. On the one hand, it is oriented to the work of the intelligence agencies, and on the other hand, the increasingly secretive side, it is becoming less and less known.
For example, this time, Wang Miao began to transfer a large number of personnel from Shanxi, Henan, and the army, and began to lay out Wanping, Daxing, and Gyeonggi, constantly giving feedback on all the dynamics in the administration.
Under the detailed and almost surveillance-based attention of Jinyiwei, every move in the implementation of the decree did not escape Zhu Cihong's eyes.
That is to say...... The new institutions, which had just been established, had been eroded so clean in the blink of an eye. Even if it is crooked in actual operation, it cannot be controlled, or it cannot be ...... Effect? Zhu Cihong muttered and couldn't help shaking his head.
On the side, Zhao Shiyao gently rubbed Zhu Cihong's forehead: "Why don't we make a move now?" ā
"We're not there yet. I haven't lost my patience yet...... Don't worry, there are still many hole cards. They'll see enough surprises......" Zhu Cihong exhaled softly.
"This time, it is indeed too much pressure on Jingzhong to catch up. I am afraid that some people below will not be able to hold back and do not see the essence of this tax reform for the purpose of raising taxes...... If you want to change this kind of thing, you have to start from the assessment. It's just that it's too far to think about it now. Let's see what Wu Yingke will do next......" Zhu Cihong finished speaking, and said, "Go back to the palace first......"
ā¦ā¦
Wanping County Ya.
Wu Yingke exhaled softly: "What should come will always come...... Hard knives don't work, and soft knives will naturally keep popping up. ā
Looking at the increasing taxes, Wu Yingke fell into deep anxiety.
Winter tax collection is not a good time, once the people below are not in place, in the process of implementation of deviations, it is very easy to cause people to be displaced, and even the family is ruined.
In fact, there was never a shortage of reports on his desk about the following.
But......
"The local students are all natives, and their understanding of this tax reform is probably limited to just collecting money and food. How do you care where you get it from? Thinking like this, Wu Yingke scratched his head even more.
He needs manpower to supervise, but the people in his hands are not even enough to collect taxes, where is the spare power?
At this moment, suddenly Menzi came to report: Liang Yixin asked to see.
Hearing this name, Wu Yingke was stunned, but he soon went over to see Liang Yixin.
As soon as he saw Liang Yixin, Wu Yingke sighed for a while. The graceful and talented man who used to be in the county school is now dusty, and he looks a lot haggard all of a sudden. But at the same time, underneath this emaciation lies a volcanic power that is about to erupt, a force that changes the world.
"Why did you get over at this juncture? How's things going in Lugouqiao Town? I belong to you in Wanping County, and Lugouqiao Town has done things most smoothly, and the primary school and the militia group are the most neat. Everywhere else, it's really out of shape, I don't dare to think about it. I privately sent a few familiar and reliable students to investigate, it's really ......" Wu Yingke sighed heavily.
But soon, Wu Yingke couldn't help but worry: "If you want any help, just mention it." As long as the county government can do it, of course, at this juncture, the most important thing is not to get out of the basket again......"
"The decree has been implemented. It's just that it's the first time that a big girl has been in the corner, and no one has any experience. Liang Yixin was relieved.
"I'm afraid your focus isn't here......" Wu Yingke didn't talk nonsense.
Liang Yixin said: "That's right...... I received a letter of complaint. I never expected that I had no eyes, saw the wrong person, and lived up to the trust that the people had accumulated so hard. ā
As he spoke, a report letter about Shengjiazhuang's transfer of taxes was handed to Wu Yingke.
Just at a glance, Wu Yingke's brows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.
"That Lu Weiying is the son of Lu Fang...... We still know too little about the local situation...... "Wu Yingke muttered: "It must be solved." I'm going to Shengjiazhuang in person! ā
"The subordinates stabbed him, naturally not just to complain...... There is also a good prescription. Liang Yixin saw that Wu Yingke was going down in person, so he couldn't help but praise in his heart, and then turned sideways.
"Wu County Order, you and I live next to each other, I'm afraid this is the first time we meet." Behind Liang Yixin, a hearty voice sounded.
"Huang County Order?" When Wu Yingke saw the visitor, he was immediately surprised, and he understood something.
It turned out that this person was Huang Yizhi, the county magistrate of Daxing County.
Soon, Liang Yixin said the specific plan. Just as soon as he heard it, Wu Yingke showed an appreciative expression: "Good! That's it! (To be continued.) )
