Chapter 246: Lust for Profit
When Zhang Muzi got the opportunity, he went out and announced that those who hurt people and forcibly broke into the ice cave were not allowed to go into the ice cave to get water.
As soon as she said this, most people didn't dare not listen, but there were also those who were pretentious, shouting "I am the family of the Southwest Hou, come to get ice water", and then walked inside.
Zhang Muzi shot directly and injured several people - Southwest Hou, what kind of thing is that?
The people who came to grab the water saw that the people in the southwest were not useful, so let's ...... I'll have to think of something else.
In the capital, the marquis is nothing, but in this kind of border realm, the marquis is basically equivalent to the earth overlord.
So soon, the outsiders and locals negotiated the conditions, and the mayor of Tongyi Town testified.
Outsiders can come to get water, but the share of water they take each day must be regulated, and besides, they can't get water for free - you have to pay money to our people in Tongyi Town.
That's right, the fairy aunt of the Dao Palace doesn't charge money, and people make merits, but the ice cave is in my Tongyi Town, and it is easy to break down if you take too much water, so you have to pay some money appropriately - the villagers will not overcharge you, but it is impossible not to collect it.
Feng Zhenren said it really well, many things can be resolved through negotiation among the people below, and there is no need to think about it so much as a leader.
Soon, the townspeople and the outsiders came to a consensus.
As for the money collected, the people of Tongyi Town used it to pay for the maintenance of order, and by the way, they bought some delicious food and made a tooth sacrifice - in such a day of great drought, they fought for life and death, not to make much money, but to really want to maintain the foundation of their own survival.
Collect a lot of money? The people in Tongyi Town really didn't think about it that way: Who doesn't have an old family? Who isn't so thirsty that their five organs smoke?
Soon, the order of the ice cave was restored, and there were people from this town and outsiders who came to get water, and from time to time, people from this town would also offer wine to the fairy girl - the fairy girl loved to drink, and everyone charged the fee of the stranger to drink water and think of the source.
The mayor of the town also marked "Jiashang" on Li Yongsheng's task evaluation - there is really no higher rating.
Li Yongsheng felt that he could go to the territory of the Xuannu Palace now.
But he wanted to turn up Feng Zhenren and go with him - having a real person to help amplify the induction can play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.
The real person of the Arctic Palace was politely rejected by the Xuannu Palace, and Li Yongsheng's original plan was to enter with Zhang Muzi - the Xuannu Palace has no sense of precaution against Si Xiu.
But this Feng Wenyan is not from the Arctic Palace, nor is it from the Shifang Jungle in the north, Yanxia Temple is located in the southwest, and Feng Wenyan is a real person who is more optimistic about the Xuannu Palace.
The reason is very simple: In the Xuannu Palace, more than eighty percent of the spiritual cultivators are women.
The Xuannu Palace honors the Nine Heavens Xuannu Vermilion Bird, male...... Yes, but women are the mainstream.
Therefore, in the Shifang Jungle, the probability of entering the Xuannu Palace is much greater, especially in the Shifang Jungle in the south.
Li Yongsheng wanted to invite Feng Zhenren to go with him, but Feng Zhenren was fascinated by the formation - she was not as persistent as Liu Qi, but she knew that in the future, this place would be the lower courtyard of Yanxia Temple, and if she wanted to manage this place well, she had to understand the formation thoroughly.
At the beginning, she was still thinking alone, but Li Yongsheng intended to befriend her, and it didn't take long for the two to get along well, and they exchanged a lot in terms of formations.
Li Yufeng of the Sun and Grandson Temple really saw all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, what he was good at was the talisman, and he didn't know where to pick up if he wanted to answer the call - the talisman and the formation are partially connected, but for those who specialize, the difference between them is nothing short of earth-apart.
There is no way, he also informed the people of Sanmao Temple, saying that there are exquisite formations here, but the uncle who specializes in formations in the temple is not in the local area and went to the East.
- In fact, his uncle went to the East, but he was forced by the government, Bashu County has been dry and rainless for a long time, I don't know which bastard said that he could pray for rain in a big array, so the government came to harass him for three days.
Feng Zhenren of Yanxia Temple has also encountered similar harassment, but she is from the Shifang Jungle, so she can refuse directly, and she doesn't have to worry a lot, but Sanmao Temple is a temple of descendants, so it is not good to refuse too harshly.
So his uncle hid out directly in the name of visiting friends, and complained when he left, "Of course it's okay to set up a big shower to pray for rain, but this kind of big array ...... Spiritual cultivation is stronger than spiritual cultivation. ”
Praying for rain in the big array, the movement cultivation mobilizes the power of luck, while the spiritual cultivation is to overcome the skill with strength, which is too simple and crude, and it is really worse.
Nima, your official mansion is full of spiritual cultivation, ask me to pray for rain spiritually, dare to be even more shameless?
In short, there are also a few Miao people in Sanmao Temple to ponder this formation, but at present, the harvest is not big.
So Li Yufeng could only watch Li Yongsheng and Feng Zhenren talk more and more speculatively.
"Feng Zhenren, the idea you said is very subtle," Li Yongsheng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Change it, and the consumption of spirit stones will be less...... It can all be done manually. ”
"Then change it and try it," Feng Zhenren was also very excited, with an excited face, "The formation was laid out by you, so you can't change it back." ”
"This ...... Can you wait two days?" Li Yongsheng scratched his chin and hesitated to speak, "I plan to go to Fujian and Guangdong, and I will be able to come back soon." ”
"What are you going to do over there?" Feng Zhenren's brows furrowed, "I'll send a summons, and I'll do it for you." ”
This is not a good summons, Li Yongsheng only had to explain, Zhang Muzi walked in from outside the cave, with a solemn face, "Outside is beneficial to the officials of the state capital, and the card is charged...... Feng Zhenren, how should this matter be handled?"
Almost a mile away from the cave, there are people in Tongyi Town who set up cards to screen and charge outsiders, and now there are a group of officials who set up cards to charge fees outside the two miles.
These people charge a fee regardless of whether they are local or foreign.
The locals were angry, so they sued Zhang Muzi again.
Zhang Muzi drank the small wine of other people's filial piety every day, eating side dishes, not to mention how comfortable, I heard that there were officials making trouble, so I wanted to drive people away, but after thinking about it, I still came to ask Feng Wenyan first, what should I do.
"Tsk, the official of Yizhou Mansion?" Feng Zhenren smacked his mouth disdainfully, "That's all the official government has to offer, let's make merits, they are good...... Take the opportunity to charge!"
Don't blame the Dao Palace for looking down on the government, what kind of bullshit is it doing.
Zhang Muzi didn't want to hear her complain, so he asked directly, "What if I directly beat people away?"
"I don't know," Feng Zhenren spread his hands very dryly, "Although we are making merits, this can also be a local matter, I really can't guess how the government will react." ”
The Dao Palace is not allowed to interfere in local affairs at will, this is a set rule.
Li Yongsheng spoke, "It's good to beat the people away, if there is pressure from the government, I'll come!"
His network in the capital is not small, although he is reluctant to use it, but the people here in Yizhou Mansion are doing too badly, and he really can't bear it - taking advantage of the catastrophe to collect money, can he get face?
Zhang Muzi also knew his energy, and after glancing at him, he turned around and left.
Less than an hour after the government set up a card outside the ice cave, it was beaten away by the immortal Gu of the Dao Palace, and countless people saw this scene.
The prefect's yamen in Furong City, the head of the education room of Yizhou Mansion, is reporting to the prefect, saying that we have heard a good story, which is very meaningful for the education of sentient beings.
Where is the prefect in the mood to listen to the story? After a long drought and no rain, he has a lot of things to do, so he said that you have done a good job, and after sorting it out, let the people in the county education and education house take a look at it, and they think it is good, and I can just use the seal here.
At this moment, someone came to report that someone from the Dao Palace in Tongyi Town had shot and injured the person sent by the tax office.
"It's my business!" The prefect had a direct attack, the weather was hot, and he was also angry, "Let them report to the county house, and charge at this time...... Labor and management want to beat them. ”
There is a magical ice cave in Tongyi Town, he also heard about it, and knows that it is the Dao Palace that is making merits, and the water is clear and transparent, as if it is not good to drink too much, but it is mixed with muddy water, which can make the muddy water clear.
- Condensate is distilled water, the ice cave is not completely enclosed, there are impurities in the air, but such condensate water, drinking too much is not good, but most people think that this water is too good, ordinary people can't stand it when they drink too much, so they have to mix some muddy water.
Originally, where is the water created by the Dao Palace that ordinary people can afford?
Blind superstition is easy to cause inadvertently, and over-interpretation of mysterious things is all too common.
Anyway, the prefect knew that it was not his intention to dispatch the tax office, and it should be known that the chief officer of the tax house was called the tax collector rather than the tax chief, and was directly under the command of the county tax collector.
The prefect may not be a good prefect, but Yizhou Mansion is the hardest hit area by the drought, and if he fails to deal with it effectively, he will be impeached.
Not long after, someone came to report, "The county's tax houses and industrial construction houses have sent people out, as well as the guards of the Zhennan Mansion!"
"Hold the grass, is this going to war with the Dao Palace?" the prefect was stunned, and then turned his head to look at the sect chief, "In this way, this story you recommend, let's choose a quiet place and talk about it." ”
Then he turned his head to look at his subordinates, "I have something important to do, nothing to do with the drought, don't bother me." ”
The people below were a little embarrassed, "But...... What should I do over there in Tongyi?"
The prefect glared at him fiercely, "In addition to me, the prefect, there is also a general judgment in the yamen......
After Zhang Muzi beat away the person who set up the card, she drank a little wine and slept - she slept in the ice cave, although she was not invaded by the cold and heat, but the weather outside was too hot, hiding in the ice cave, covering the thin quilt and resting, is to enjoy.
When he was asleep, a little Taoist boy hurriedly came to report, "Zhang Shangren, it's broken, there are officials and soldiers outside." ”
"Can you take a pleasant rest?" Zhang Muzi was furious, stood up and walked out.
When I walked out, the officers and soldiers were already blocked at the entrance of the cave - the sticks that had set up cards in Tongyi Town had long been chased away and did not know where to go.
The junior colonel who led the team took out a notice and spoke expressionlessly, "I officially inform you that this place has been requisitioned by Bashu County. (To be continued.) )
