With Zhang Tinggui high-fived three times, four people walked in.

On the left and right are two men dressed as maids, each supporting two women dressed in ayara. Both women covered their faces with red silk and could not see their faces clearly.

Cui Geng was surprised: "This is what you call your mind?" ”

Zhang Tinggui said: "Shiyun: Yan Zhao is a beautiful woman, and the beauty is like jade." The Yanzhao beauty here mainly refers to our Weizhou women. Cui Xiang can't take his family with him when he takes office, isn't it natural for our Weizhou father to send two women to serve Cui Xiang? ”

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what we want."

"Cui Xiang should accept it, otherwise he will look down on me and other Weizhou people."

"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and Cui Geng accepted them, which is their blessing."

……

People opened their mouths to persuade them.

By now, Cui Geng has understood that these people, led by Zhang Tinggui, have already discussed and want to bribe themselves.

He waved his hand and said, "Zhang Tingshi, all the virtuous people in Weizhou, don't have to be like this. I already know what you want to do with this official. Let me tell you clearly, I have agreed to your request. ”

"Huh? Did you really say yes? Zhang Tinggui's eyes could simply shine with light.

"Of course, can this official lie in front of so many people?"

"That'...... Then the people of Weizhou on behalf of the official thank you Cui Xiang! ”

As he spoke, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Cui Geng a few times.

Other local celebrities also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Thank you Cui Xiang!" ”

Cui Geng secretly wondered in his heart: These Weizhou people are also greedy for money, right? In order to get the official's guidance to make a fortune, he was so groveling.

He put his hands on his hands and said, "Let's get up, some little things, Raul with a raised hand." ”

"This is a small matter for Cui Xiang, but for us, it is a big thing that is as difficult as the sky. Belch...... Although you don't want it, we can't ignore our conscience. Come! ”

Zhang Tinggui gave an order, and the two maids had already removed the red silk, revealing two peerless faces that were disgusting and happy.

The most important thing is that its appearance is unexpectedly the same.

Cui Gengdao; "It's a pair of twins?"

"Cui Xiang's good eyesight, how's it going? This pair of sisters, one is called Wei Yun'er and the other is Wei Xue'er, can they still be in your eyes? ”

"This ...... This ......"

At present, Cui Geng said that he was not moved, of course it was fake. However, he is thin-skinned, and it is really difficult for him to accept bribes so blatantly.

Zhang Tinggui observed his words and ordered: "You two sit next to Cui Xiang, whether you can let Cui Xiang accept it depends on your means." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, Wei Yun'er and Wei Xue'er sat beside Cui Geng, one left and one right.

Of course, the scene is full of leading figures in Weizhou, and Cui Geng will not let loose on the spot. These two daughters also knew that they were not entangled, but just poured wine and vegetables for Cui Geng.

Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors,

Cui Geng put down the wine glass and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." Don't you just want to know why the government wants the government to buy those lands? Actually, it's not a secret, I want to ......"

"Wait!"

Zhang Tinggui interrupted: "Cui Xiang, do you think we want to know why you want to buy land?" ”

"That's right. Isn't it? ”

"Of course not. You have to grow something to buy land, right? Can't the people of Weizhou still look at it? All in all, what you plant, the people of Weizhou will plant. It's really not good, I'll ask for a few seeds, Cui Xiang, can you still give them? ”

There is another sentence he didn't say, you really don't give it, won't those people steal? You bought so much land, can you see it?

"Huh?"

When Cui Geng heard this, he was also a little dumbfounded.

Weizhou is Shangzhou, and the rank of the assassin is the third grade, and this official position is already quite not low. I think that at the beginning, before Zhang Qianlin went to Yangzhou to take office, he was doing the history of Weizhou assassination. Therefore, Cui Geng must have the necessary respect for Zhang Tinggui.

These two beauties are okay to say, it's a big deal to go back. But this has been born to Zhang Tinggui several times, and then tell others that he understood wrong, can others do it?

He gritted his teeth and said astringently: "Then I don't know, what do you want Cui to help you?" ”

"Cui Xiang, don't panic, what we ask for is nothing more than asking Cui Geng to speak up."

Cui Geng sighed and said, "You Zhang Tingshi started by relying on righteousness, and what you can't do is definitely not simple." Okay, let's talk about it, if you can help, the official will definitely help. ”

"That's the case, as you know, we suffered a major drought in Weizhou last year, and it didn't rain for five months. Therefore, the imperial court specially issued an order to exempt Weizhou from taxes for two years. ”

Cui Geng nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." ”

"But the problem is that just last month, the imperial court sent down an official letter asking for ......"

"Wait!" Cui Geng wondered: "If the official remembers correctly, starting this year, the taxes of Hebei Province and Shandong Province will be handed over to the official." Why did the court give you an official document? ”

Zhang Tinggui smiled bitterly: "What you said is the formal tax of the imperial court, isn't there a real seal here?" ”

The so-called real seal is the closure of high~official relatives. For example, the imperial court gave someone a hundred households. In other words, the taxes of these 100 households do not need to be given to the imperial court, but to the person who is entitled.

Weizhou is rich, and most of the high~ officials and nobles who have received the real seal are here. Moreover, they do not look for the poor, but the rich and the superior in the locality.

Roughly calculated, half of the senior executives and nobles of the imperial court must have sealed accounts here. In Weizhou, about one-third of the people are closed. is Cui Geng himself, who has a hundred households in Weizhou. It's just that he's rich enough to rival the country, and he's too lazy to take care of it.

Although the imperial court divided Hebei Province and Shandong Province to raise military salaries for Cui Geng, the feudal households of those nobles were not among them.

Cui Gengdao: "I see, then what? ”

Zhang Tinggui said: "Those who have feudal households in Weizhou are unwilling to see that the imperial court is exempted from taxes. He proposed to the imperial court that yes, there was no rain in Weizhou for five months, and there was no grain harvest. However, the mulberry tree was not affected in any way. It's better to use silk to offset the taxes payable by the households. ”

"Isn't this a bastard?" Cui Geng scolded: "It's not that silk can't be exchanged for grain, what is the difference between them collecting silk for taxes and collecting grain for taxes?" ”

Zhang Tinggui slammed a few cases and said, "Who says it's not?" If you take this as an example, Longyou sheep and horses, Shannan pepper paint, mountain copper, tin and lead, sea mirage, fish salt, all of which can not be affected by floods and droughts, is it that in the future, all places can not be exempted from taxes on the grounds of disasters? It just doesn't make sense. So ......"

"How?"

"Please also ask Cui Xiang to come to the table for the sake of Weizhou's fathers and elders, and explain this truth to the imperial court."

Cui Geng stared at Zhang Tinggui's eyes and said: "Zhang Tingshi, Zhang Tingshi, robbing people and wealth is like killing parents, you want this official to kill more than half of the parents of high-ranking ~ officials in the imperial court, tell me...... Can I handle it? ”
