Although he couldn't wait to fly to Hanyang Mansion and pick up his father Wang Daoyun immediately, Wang Fulin had just returned to Huizhou, so he had to settle the rest of the matter. Especially the father he has never met so far, who owes Wang Daokun and Wang Daoguan's brothers seven thousand taels for many years, and now that he has met Wang Daoguan, of course he offered to pay back the money as soon as possible! Wang Daoguan had been back to Songming Mountain for more than half a month, and he also knew a lot about Wang Fulin's well-known Yidian and Lin Muxuan, and was amazed, but now that Wang Fulin had gone to Putuo Mountain, he had to make a lot of money from the hands of the Franco, so he had to mutter about the luck of this little guy.

Therefore, although he knew that his eldest brother was not in a hurry to let Wang Fulin return the seven thousand taels of silver, he was even less anxious, but since Wang Fulin insisted, he did not push it out. After all, because of this matter, his father Wang Liangbin once had a lot of complaints about their brothers. In the past, when Wang Daokun came back from his post in Fujian, not to mention the 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, he simply came back empty-handed, and the thousands of taels of silver he brought to be an official were spent cleanly, and a little bit of money was filled in. And the uncle of the Wang family, who has been running the Lianghuai salt industry for many years, is really not very good, far inferior to the Xu family and the Cheng family, and the bonus silver is already very small.

Since Wang Daoguan nodded, Wang Fulin immediately began to prepare to repay the money. Such a small amount of silver money exchanges, naturally it is inevitable to draw silver from everywhere, and the weight will be re-checked by a special person, and then according to Wang Daoguan's instructions, half of it will be converted into gold, which is ready to be sent to Wang Daokun, and the other half will be converted into cash and sent directly back to Wang Daokun's pine garden in Songming Mountain.

for three thousand five hundred taels is a lot. Wang Daoguan and Wang Fulin walked together. Wang Fulin also met Wang Liangbin, who was in charge of household affairs, and Wang Daokun's stepfamily, Mrs. Wu. Wang Wujing, who is a year older, has now also invited another Mr. Xixi to teach the classics. His shy sister was getting married. In just half a year, it turned out to be a matter of personnel.

In the entire Songmingshan Village, since Wang Fulin left here for the New Year, in just a few months, there have been many changes in birth, old age, sickness and death, and several villagers who he called uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts when he was recovering have passed away. And those boys and girls who are older or the same age than him. Many of them have become families, and the fast-moving ones are now running with the ball. Therefore, when he came back this time, he naturally gave birth to a feeling of vicissitudes. Of course, the biggest change is the patriarch Wang Daohan, who was still pretending in front of him last year, and later he was much more polite and warm, but now he is with a bit of courtesy and flattery.

Wang Daoguan was not surprised by this. Wang Fulin's other great achievements are not mentioned for the time being, which young man who has just passed fifteen can easily pay off his father's thorny large debts?

This time when he returned to his hometown, Wang Fulin had another purpose, that is, to renovate his family's old house. At the beginning, the house was only two entrances, and the three brothers and sisters lived together with the old servant Wang Qi and his wife. That, of course, is enough. But now there are more Jinbao and Qiu Feng, as well as Ah Heng and Forsythia. In the future, I have to bring my parents back, and such a small place is too cramped. It's just that when Wang Daoguan jokingly asked if he wanted to build a ready-made garden, he quickly refused.

After repaying the seven thousand taels of silver, all his remaining capital was pressed on the Yidian and Lvye Book Garden and the West Garden Elegant House, where can he still draw tens of thousands of taels to repair the garden? He didn't do anything about slapping a swollen face and becoming fat! However, Wang Fulin still spent 1,500 taels to buy the two-and-a-half-house in the back street of the county where his family temporarily lived from Wang Daoguan. After living for a long time, I will have feelings, not to mention that it is directly opposite Ye Dacang's family, and it is convenient to move around.

Because of the relationship between the renovation of the Green Field Book Garden and the West Garden Elegant House, Wang Fulin became acquainted with Wu Sanqi, the most famous craftsman in Huizhou, so he asked the other party to introduce a group of stable people, and then began to expand and repair the house. The original old house was not demolished, but renovated, and the two plots of land next to it were built first, and after Wang Qi and his wife had a place to live, they started construction on the old house. Thinking of the scene when Wang Erniang fed the chickens at the beginning, as well as the peppers that Wang Qi helped him grow, Wang Fulin specially instructed to leave a few vegetable patches at home and put them next to the small garden.

Upon learning of this, the eldest sister Wang Yuanguan asked her husband Xu Zhen to accompany her back as soon as possible, and she really had mixed feelings after experiencing the rise and fall of the Wang family. Even his uncle Wu Tianbao, who lived under the south mountain of Yanzhen, also rushed over to help refer to the drawings, he witnessed how his sister married Wang Daoyun, and he still had an impression of many places in the old mansion of the Wang family, because of this relationship, the drawings were changed twice.

Wang Fulin naturally thanked him, and went to Wu's house with Wu Tianbao and gave his cousins some silk and small jewelry brought back from Hangzhou and Ningbo. When Wang Fulin went to Xu's house on Doosan Street again, stuffed a share of the red money from the building outside the building to Xu Wei, and sprinkled a circle of small gifts at the Xu family, his reputation as a wealthy boy spread in the two cities of Huizhou Prefecture and County.

Although this season is at the time of the summer tax collection, but there is no news of Shuai Jiamo who went out to complain, Wang Shangning, who led the summer tax equalization, was hit hard, and died down, although the other eunuchs said that Ye Dacang had promised this article, but Ye County was indignant to save the county party public expenses as compensation, and this year, the regular summer tax in She County can be less than 2,000 taels of silver, and the eunuchs suddenly wilted. But the excuse is such an excuse, Ye Junyao said to several officials of the county government that he would never reduce the amount of silver that he should get, and at this moment, the three classes and six rooms and other officials who might have made noise also stopped.

Naturally, the difference of 2,000 silver also comes from the difference in the price earned by the Shexian Reserve Warehouse and Wang Fulin's Yidian for pouring new grain and old grain. Although this is definitely a marginal ball, to put it bluntly, it is an illegal operation, but under the sign of replacing old grain for new grain, the silver obtained is a subsidy tax gap, and the warehouse officials below have also received some benefits, and now that the books have long been flattened, even if someone wants to impeach Ye Cannon, it is difficult to do so.

In this calm and calm, She County was the first to complete the summer tax collection task again, Ye Junyao was brilliant in the county orders of the six counties of Huizhou, and Shu Bangru, who lost the favor of Shangguan and still holds the title of acting Jixi County Order, is at the end of the list, and has not removed the word acting so far. In such an atmosphere. Duan Chaozong finally ushered in the new prefect of Huizhou, Yao Huizu.

After the handover. The six counties and county orders must not all gather in the government to see the ceremony. However. When he came back from the Huizhou Mansion, Ye Junyao, who was elated when he went, was a little listless, he only felt that this new prefect was really difficult to serve, and after returning to the county party that day, he ordered someone to call Wang Fulin to come.

"Fu Lin, this Yao Fuzun didn't come early or late, but he didn't come until after the summer tax was paid, and Duan Fuzun was too, and he didn't seem to say anything before he left office. Today, when Yao Fuzun saw me and the other five county magistrates, they were all indifferent, and they didn't know how to get along with them! ”

Seeing the indignation on Ye Cannon's face, Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. I think that the original rookie county order can direct the first three classes and six rooms are extravagant expectations, and in front of Duan Fuzun, he often eats steaks, but now he has reached the mansion, and he is secretly dissatisfied if he treats people too coldly! Thinking that Ye Dapao was now halfway through his term, he kindly reminded: "County Zun, if Duan Mansionzun really didn't praise you in front of Yao Mansion, that is true love." It must be known that once the son of heaven is a courtier, although it is not so exaggerated between prefectures and counties. But the truth is similar. If Yao Fuzun treats you as Duan Fuzun's cronies, he will beat you hard. So what? ”

Forgot about this!

Ye Junyao couldn't help but pat his forehead, and then realized that he had forgotten the three fires of the new official. This is of course, three consecutive summer taxes and autumn grains are ranked first, although the county can not say that the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, but the detection rate of various criminal cases is the highest, and the judgment of the case is also the most fair, he only feels that no matter who is the prefect, he should affirm himself, but he forgot that the boss is the boss, and you can't guess some of your intentions! He took an unnatural sip of tea, and then remembered something else.

"Then forget about this matter, but Fu Lin, since this year has a decrease of two thousand taels of summer tax silk, why not bring the previous arrears by the way, so that as long as one thousand taels of summer tax silk silk is less, I can bring an extra thousand taels, which is considered to make up for the previous arrears of one thousand taels, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?" If that's the case, as a county order that can recover the arrears, his evaluation should be able to go to the next level!

Ye Cannon really has to be beaten, otherwise if he is too proud because of his previous achievements, he will have to make a big deal!

Wang Fulin thought in his heart, and said more seriously: "County Zun, if you bring two thousand silver this year, that is, you have cleared the arrears of two thousand silver, what about next year?" Do you have to bring 4,000 next year? In this way, in the opinion of Shangguan, are you a master of clearing up debts, do you want to send you to the kind of prefecture and county with the largest tax gap to carry the burden? ”

Ye Junyao was dumb again. If you clean up the deficit effectively, but you are transferred to that kind of thorny place, it will be miserable indeed.

But Wang Fulin didn't finish speaking: "You need to know that the two thousand summer taxes and silk silver were reduced because last year, the county respected through those small officials and made a commitment to the township eunuchs, but Shuai Jiamo didn't even have any news, could it be that the county honored you paid out of your own pocket to fill it?" It just so happened that the reserve warehouse had earned this vote, so it could only be done this way, otherwise it would be possible to add some food to the reserve warehouse. It's not me pouring cold water, this summer tax silk pit will break out sooner or later, and if you can withdraw, you will withdraw. The county lord might as well think about it, if the next official has any plans, it is better to plan in detail. ”

Thinking that he was sitting on an explosive bag as soon as he took office, but he forgot about this because of prosperity these days, Ye Junyao couldn't help but feel annoyed. Speaking of the next official, he remembered that Wang Daokun was now in Huguang, which was now the land of rice, and he had the reputation of being familiar with Huguang and the world's foot, and his mind suddenly became active.

"Mr. Nanming is in Huguang, what if I go to Huguang to work?"

"The county is so beautiful." Wang Fulin rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile, "How long have you been the governor of Yunyang, Mr. Nanming?" ”

It's been less than a year...... It seems that the wishful thinking has been wrong again, the governor's term of office is too short, maybe when his activities are promoted to Huguang, Wang Daokun will have already left his post!

After being silent for a long time, Ye Dacang said with a sad face: "Fu Lin, I won't say a word in front of you, most of my political achievements in She County depend on you, if you still want to be a magistrate, if you go to a place that is too unfamiliar, in case Shangfeng has high hopes for me because of my current political achievements, I really don't know the bottom of my heart." What are your good ideas? ”

Wang Fulin has a deep understanding of the reforms that Zhang Juzheng has made since he came to power. Among them, the most talked about test method, but he remembered that there was one of the most unrealistic ones, that is, he instructed the heads of the prefectures and counties to recover the taxes accumulated in the past years, and it seemed that they should be taxed by 10% every year when the taxes were being paid. Before that, the imperial court was helpless to avoid the previous arrears after a period of time, which has been the rule for many years. Therefore, after Zhang Juzheng came to power, he became a county magistrate or prefect, and he was simply forced to die!

What's more, Zhang Juzheng once sent people to measure the land in the world, making the whole world jump. But basically they snatched food from the small people and rich peasants and small landlords, but they did not dare to overpower the real big landlords and powerful people, and at this time it was really hard to be a magistrate.

So, after thinking about it again and again, he could only comfort the dumb-eyed Ye Cannon and said: "County Zun, I remember that Mr. Nanming was the county commander of Yiwu first, and then he once returned to the dynasty as the head of the Ministry of War, which shows that it is also possible to return to the court after serving as a county commander." In short, the county is a little restless, I will go to Huguang in the near future, and when the time comes, I will find Mr. Nanming to inquire about how this kind of thing should be operated.
