These two sentences are indeed eternal and unbreakable words of the awakening world.

Under the temptation of Xia Hongsheng's interests, many businessmen in Jingyang County contracted the right to mine limestone from the county government. Depending on the size of the mining area contracted, the amount of limestone deposits, and the annual contract fee paid are also different.

Xia Hongsheng asked the shopkeeper of the cement factory and the glass mill to sign a contract with the merchants who had contracted the limestone mine, and wrote down the terms of the required limestone mine from them in black and white.

Finally, these businessmen were completely reassured.

watched them walk out happily, but they didn't know that they had fallen into a "trap" of Xia Hongsheng.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and pies will not fall from the sky for no reason.

They can obtain a lot of resources, and the price they pay is that as long as they want this wealth one day, they will not be able to leave the land of Jingyang for a day.

"Lord of the county, the limestone mining land inherited by these merchants has all been registered." Master Shen presented a few books to Xia Hongsheng and said.

Xia Hongsheng took it and flipped through a few pages, smiled, and said, "Shen is the master book, and I will give you one thing, right?" ”

"Please also ask the prefectural commander to command!" Master Shen's expression was solemn, and he nodded and said.

Xia Hongsheng raised the corner of his eyes and looked at the booklet that recorded how much land that could be mined contracted by each merchant, the scope of the boundary, and the annual contract payment to the government, etc., smiled, and said: "You go to recruit some good accounting offices who are proficient in accounting and have a good reputation and good character, and there must be at least twenty people." Ten people are assigned to each other, specializing in taxation and auditing. ”

"Audit?" Master Shen was very puzzled and asked, "This tax official knows, this audit ......?"

"Oh, it's the county that didn't make it clear." Xia Hongsheng also said: "The subordinate department under the Criminal Department of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China is in charge of inspecting the finances and checking the accounts of tax collection, the ransom of the funds of the various officials and officials, the cashier of the warehouse, the carpenter project, the income and expenditure of the peace and the army, and the military equipment. I have asked you to find these accounts in order to follow the example of this department and to examine the accounts. The meaning of this audit is to audit and calculate. You are to take these accounts with you and conduct regular audits of these limestone miners to check their accounts in case they falsify them. In the future, there may be people who know the accounts to check their accounts and assets to prevent tax evasion and evasion. ”

"I see!" Master Shen nodded: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said: "The right to contract limestone mining and the annual contract fee to be paid in the stone quarry, the county has deliberately set it in many places. I never thought that these businessmen could see clearly which was more important, and they had contracted a lot. Perhaps the tax will be less than the current contract payment, so it seems that there should be little resistance to abolishing the contract fee and paying the tax instead. ”

"Lord of the county order, the lower officials think that the biggest obstacle to the new tax system is not in these merchants." Shen Zhushu thought for a while and said: "Xia Guan has been looking at the new tax system for the past few days, and secretly thinks that if the new tax system is really implemented, the people who will resist it the most will not be the businessmen, but the scholars. Although the businessmen have to pay taxes, they have also opened up the business limits. The benefits brought by the liberalization of the business restrictions are enough to compensate for the loss of the taxes paid, so it will not say more and oppose more. And scholars and the like, who need to pay taxes in vain, are afraid that they will not be able to accept it for a while. ”

"What Master Shen said is good." Xia Hongsheng said: "Fortunately, Jingyang is not a place controlled by the scholars, and there are only a few squires, so there is nothing to worry about. The new tax system is now a tax law, which is part of the law of the Tang Dynasty. Those who fail to pay when they should pay and who fail to pay are breaking the law, and they naturally act according to the law. ”

"What do you think is the county magistrate, when will the new commercial law be promulgated and the business restrictions will be opened?" Master Shen asked again.

"Wait." Xia Hongsheng looked at the street where there were no longer any businessmen leaving, smiled, and said, "Let them eat some sweetness first, and then be reluctant to throw it away." Then the new commercial law and the new tax system will be enacted! ”

Master Shen nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Mountain Chief! The mountain is not growing well! ……”

The two of them hurriedly looked up and followed the sound, only to see a person wearing the costume of a student of Jingyang Academy running closer, who was a student of Jingyang Academy.

The student ran to Xia Hongsheng's side, panting breathlessly, and said, "Mountain, mountain chief!" Oh no! Kaiyu Mountain Chief, the furnace, the furnace is blown up! ”

Xia Hongsheng was shocked, frowned, and asked, "What stove blew up?" Who's doing what?! ”

The student gasped and hurriedly replied: "Back to the mountain chief, it was Zitai who led several other classmates to make a stove for boiling water, and just now they filled it with water and boiled, and the stove exploded when it was burning!" ”

"Has anyone ever been hurt?! Is it serious?! Xia Hongsheng's heart immediately tightened, I will go, Zitai is Wang Zitai, it is Li Tai. If Li Tai is blown up, then Li Lao Er will not pick his own skin!

"Two people are seriously injured and have been carried to Mr. Sun!" The student said, "Everyone else has been injured as well. ”

"Where's Zitai?" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly asked again.

The student replied, "Zitai's arm is burned, but seeing that he is still calling for someone to carry the two seriously injured to Mr. Sun, it shouldn't be too serious." Mr. Sun asked the students to come to the county office to find you immediately! ”

Xia Hongsheng chuckled in his heart, could it be that the two people who were seriously injured were in danger of life?

"Shen Zhu, this county should go over immediately." Xia Hongsheng turned around and said a word, and then immediately asked Qi Yong to lead the horse over, flew up and pumped hard, and then rode to the academy.

What else do you have to think about, it must be Li Tai who is doing steam experiments, and the boiler he made does not have a pressure gauge, but the pressure in the furnace is too high, and the fryer is gone!

Soon, Xia Hongsheng arrived at the academy, jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Qi Yong, and then went straight to the place where the medical department was located. Sun Simiao has now come to the college to teach and is in the medical department.

Before he went in, he heard the screams of pain coming from inside, and his heart sank immediately, and he hurriedly walked over.

When I saw it, I saw that a student's legs were already blistering, red and purple, and he was constantly wailing in pain.

Looking at Li Tai next to him, he had already taken off his long shirt, revealing one arm, and it was also red from his wrist to his elbow. looked down at his hand, but was shocked again, only to see that he didn't care about his arm, but just pressed one of his thighs with both hands. On that thigh, there was a piece of broken iron, deep into the flesh! (To be continued.) )
