39. Yamen collects cash

"You are going to the yamen, I accidentally leaked my mouth yesterday."

Xia Lishuang glanced at Jiang Tang in a complicated mood, walked down the steps in three or two steps, and said to Wen Ranran, who was full of anticipation: "Then let's go together." ”

Seeing her happily follow her to her side, although she was not adaptable, she didn't feel much repulsion.

……

Wen Ranran followed Xia Lishuang around two streets, and finally arrived at the Yamen.

Taishou didn't know what they were doing, they sat in the back office for half a cup of tea, and then they came over with a grinding and chirping.

"The affairs of the yamen are busy, and the officials are late, and I hope the prince of the county will forgive me."

Xia Lishuang knew that he was deliberately delaying, so he said disapprovingly: "It's really a blessing for the people to be too conscientious and conscientious, and I just accompanied the side concubine to wander by, and I just came in to ask." ”

Wen Ranran couldn't cry or laugh.

I don't know who accompanies whom, someone bought a bunch of candied snacks and the four treasures of the study, and the ability of the loser is even inferior to that of a woman.

Jiang Boyu saw that he had something to say, and asked, "What does the prince of the county want to ask?" ”

"A while ago, the Yu family asked the county palace for compensation, and when I checked the accounts, I found out that it was mid-February, why haven't the taxes of Jiangrao County been paid yet?" Xia Lishuang pretended to be puzzled, "It stands to reason that last year's tax must be paid before February this year?" ”

Jiang Bo was stunned, and said with a bitter face: "Last year, the fields of Jiangrao County were sluggish, there were too many people in arrears of taxes, and there were many political situations to be reported in the past two months. ”

Xia Lishuang was embarrassed: "The king of this county is also considerate, so he didn't send anyone to ask, and he passed by today and remembered that it was not too early." If it drags on any longer, when the king of this county reports the local political situation, he doesn't know how to write. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials will let people urge them again, and they will be sent to the county king's mansion in two days." Jiang Boyu was busy.

Xia Lishuang said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to let me take it back." ”

found that Jiang Boyu was surprised, and looked at Wen Ranran who was sitting beside him with a smile, his eyes were full of spoiling that Wen Ranran couldn't even think of, and his tone was a little more innocent.

"Concubine Fang, you have to find out this time, if there is any problem with the accounts of the county king's mansion, I can't blame me."

Jiang Boyu twisted his eyebrows.

Is the prince of the county really so fond of this side concubine?

Since the beauty wants to act, she will accompany her Wen Ranran, who sacrifices her life to accompany her, and can't help but not indulge in Xia Lishuang's tenderness, and pretends to be black face seriously.

"I'm sure I'll find out!"

……

An hour later.

Jiang Boyu prepared to stop all the tax money.

Wen Ranran opened several large wooden boxes one by one, and the neat silver was exposed in front of him. The happiness of getting rich was swept away after meeting Xia Lishuang, a loser.

Worriedly, he grabbed two silver ingots and checked them, and found that something was wrong.

"Master Taishou, how much is it here?"

Jiang Boyu glanced at Xia Lishuang, who was calm and relaxed, and replied: "A total of 73,000 taels of silver, the side concubine can order some more." ”

"Seventy-three thousand taels?" Jiang Tang couldn't listen anymore and asked, "Why is there only so little?" ”

Jiang Boyu let out a long sigh, "Alas, the taxes in Jiangrao County have been like this in the past few years, and last year's harvest was not good, so it was even less." ”

"That's not going to be like that, is it?"

Xia Lishuang had already expected it, and unhurriedly opened her mouth to settle accounts with Jiang Boyu.

"I remember that there are 2.5 million mu of cultivated land in Jiangrao County, and even in the famine year, this field endowment is more than 70,000 taels? When I came last year, I especially saw that the people were rich and happy to celebrate the New Year. ”

"The prince of the county first came to Jiangnan County, and I don't know the inside story......"

"Then let the king of this county know?" Xia Lishuang's face was a little serious, "Since Taishou is sorting out last year's government affairs report, presumably this tax account book has been sorted out, why don't you take it together with the field register?" ”
