"Sir, I am so generous. The white tiger skin is a rare thing. Not to mention a hundred taels, you can sell it even if you double the price a few times. However, after listening to a song of Qiang flute, you sold it at the original price and didn't make a penny. The Qiang woman asked her to take the white tiger skin before she could pay enough money. She would be reluctant to leave the villain." After Rida Muzi and her side, Niu Bao said with a flattering smile.

Lu Haoshan smiled indifferently and shook his head: "It's not that you have to be generous and not to make money, but that I have made a lot of money today. Think about it, that one hundred taels of silver can be said to have two good relationships without spending money. Gold has a price, but the value of this kind of good relationship is immeasurable."

For Niu Bao, it is only two or three taels of silver a month, and the county magistrate only costs about forty taels of silver a year. A small constable naturally has a low income. A white tiger skin can earn hundreds of taels by replacing it with one hand. For Niu Bao, this is a huge astronomical sum. If you don’t eat or drink, you can’t save up the monthly money and those gray incomes in tens of thousands of taels in your hand, you will be in a state of mind. But for Lu Haoshan, holding tens of thousands of taels in his hand and using his brain a little, the silver is like a pig cage that can’t be worried about eating and drinking. At least, you don’t have to worry about money before your identity has been exposed, and you don’t take that little silver into consideration. To be honest, if you really run away, you can’t take so much money away.

Now I can say that I have met two characters without spending money, one master and the other beautiful woman, which can be said to be a big profit.

Niu Bao was in a good mood when he saw Lu Haoshan, and said carefully: "Sir, that Qiang woman is okay. A fairy-like woman, let alone not earning her money, it is worth it to give it to her and smile at the beauty. But it is so good to the deserter who sells tiger skins. I don't know if the white tiger skin was stolen. It's good to give him a way out. If you buy it yourself, he is good, and it's not a penny. I really don't understand the rules."

One hundred taels are a lot, and no one will think that the money is too much. Niu Bao is still angry for Lu Haoshan now.

If I were to take the White Tiger Skin without spending a penny, I could catch someone, and I could even knock on it if I could not say that I could knock on it. The God of Wealth knocked on the door, but I missed a great opportunity in vain and did not make a fortune and would be more miserable than a loser.

"Is that true?" Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "A body like him and his spirit are so energetic. You can tell at a glance that he is a master, even a desperate person. I guess you and Zhang Wu can't beat someone else's hand together. How can you catch it? It's better to have less trouble than more things. Besides, things in the world are unpredictable. Today I will buy him tiger skin. Who dares to say that he will not help me work hard?"

"Yes, yes, sir." Niu Bao's heart was chilling and he quickly responded.

It's so dangerous. I've been thinking about money just now, but I didn't expect the skill of the burly man. I guess I don't know how much blood my hands are stained with. I know his skills. It's okay to scare those honest and ordinary people. It's really a suicide to fight these brave people. Niu Bao thought about it, and he looked at the county magistrate with admiration. He thought that he was worthy of being the county magistrate, so calm and thinking so comprehensively at once.

The beauty has left, and Lu Haoshan is not willing to stay for too long. He turns his head and says to Niu Bao: "Let's go, go somewhere else."

"Yes, sir."

Just as Lu Haoshan and Niu Bao left the pavilion, a burly man strode in the Baiyuan Medicinal Materials Store in Jiangyou County and walked straight to the counter. The shopkeeper saw a customer coming and was about to greet him, but when he saw that it was the burly man, the smiling face faded, sat down again, and gently fiddled with the exquisite teacup.

It’s not that he doesn’t do business, but that this person has been here several times. Although he is buying medicine, he still wants to buy expensive wild ginseng. When opening the door to do business, he naturally has to meet the needs of the customers. The problem is that the shopkeeper can meet the needs of this burly man, but the burly man cannot meet the requirements of the shopkeeper. The reason is that he can’t afford the money and wants to owe it first, saying that he will pay it back before he can. The shopkeeper is reluctant to agree, so he naturally "invite" him out.

"Shopkeeper, I want old ginseng," said the burly man loudly.

"This guest official, I will not pay any credit for my store. Please..." Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, with a "bang", the burly man slapped the ingot of gold on the counter and said coldly: "It's OK now."

Gold? When the shopkeeper saw the yellow gold, his eyes lit up. He handed over the gold and threw it. He then looked at the quality of the gold carefully. After confirming that the gold was fine, the old face suddenly smiled and said immediately: "Yes, yes, Afa, hurry up, take out the old ginseng in the wooden box on the right side of the warehouse, and move quickly."

Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. This ingot of gold is enough to make the shopkeeper change: these days, those who can take out a whole ingot of gold are all the masters, no, those who have money are all the masters.

The old mountain ginseng on the right side of the warehouse? The guy named Afa was stunned for a moment, and soon came to his senses. He responded and went to get the old ginseng like a squirt.

Soon, the old ginseng was taken out. The burly man took out a dozen wooden boxes. When he saw the huge old ginseng lying in the wooden box, he felt relieved. He closed the lid and took a few pieces of silver that the shopkeeper had changed. He put it in his arms. Without saying a word, he picked up the ginseng and left. He disappeared on the street in a short while. He came and went in a hurry.

After the burly man disappeared, the shopkeeper immediately said with a serious look on his face: "Was that ginseng wrong?"

Afa hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, how can you do it? Our Baiyuan Medicinal Materials Store only has an old ginseng. It can be said that our store is the treasure. I was a little surprised when I heard the shopkeeper say he wanted to take it, but when the shopkeeper said he was holding the wooden box on his right hand, the villain breathed a sigh of relief, hehe."

There are some tricks in every pharmacy, and Baiyuan Pharmacy is no exception. There is a precious Laoshan store in the store, which is the treasure of the store. However, in order to make a fortune, the shopkeeper took a fake ginseng early in the morning and made it the same as the real through the connection. It was placed on the right side of the warehouse. The wooden box on the left was real ginseng and the right was fake ginseng. When the shopkeeper said he wanted to take Laoshan's father, he also pointed out that the plant on the right. Afa immediately understood that the shopkeeper was going to cheat the guy and sold the fake ginseng to him.

It is true that the burly man needs Laoshan ginseng. It is also true that there is Laoshan ginseng in the pharmacy. The gold brought by the burly man is fine. The only variable is the shopkeeper's mind. Those who open a shop are either very eloquent or have super eyesight. The shopkeeper has two things. He can see at a glance that the burly man is a foreigner or a helpless foreigner, and is likely to be a deserter. So, driven by greed, he decided to use fake Laoshan ginseng to cheat the gold. Anyway, Captain Cao in the county government is his distant cousin. He must be directed to himself if he has anything to do. His filial piety will not be left behind during the holidays.

As soon as the man stepped out of the door, the matter would be done. At that time, he would find the problem and he would also slander him for making nearly a hundred taels of money in one go. The shopkeeper was in a good mood and patted Ah Fa on the shoulder and said, "No, it's very clever. Your monthly money will double this month."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Ah Fa said quickly and flatteringly: "Shopkeeper, this tea is light, I'll get you new tea."

"Yeah, go."

.........

When doing business, whether it is honest business or intrigue, it emphasizes the word "profit". Some people like to be simplified, while others hope to get rich overnight. No matter what, trading is part of the daily life of the store. If there are so many transactions every day, it is impossible for the county government to send people to monitor it every moment, and the yamen will not have so many people. In the past few days, the county government has been busy all the way up and down.

If the tax work of a year has been put together all at once, can you not be busy?

Lu Haoshan walked around the county town and waited until it was almost dark. Then Shi Shiran returned to the county government. As soon as he returned to the county government, he saw the house with candles on. From time to time, he heard Zhou Dayuan's scolding. He heard the sound of urging his subordinates to move faster, so as not to delay the tax collection work, and get the accounts out as soon as possible.

"Why is it so troublesome? Isn't this tax collected every year?" Lu Haoshan said in confusion.

"Sir" Niu Bao whispered: "All year, not only will the land and fields change, but the population of each household may also change. These need to be verified one by one. By the way, even if there is no problem with the land and the population, then the tax rate for the land level is different. The people are very energetic. If they collect too much, they will make a big fuss."

So that's the case. Lu Haoshan nodded. There were no computers in ancient times, and many things were counted by humans, so the efficiency was naturally not high.

Lu Haoshan nodded, stopped talking, and went straight to the canteen to have a meal. After Chen Zi died, Lu Haoshan did not eat a common meal for some days, and did not need to send the yamen runners to the backyard where he lived to eat alone, but went to the canteen to eat. In this way, he could meet and chat with the people in the yamen and win people's hearts by the way.

After using the meal, Liu Jinzhu also found out the news and came back. Lu Haoshan took a bath while listening to Liu Jinzhu's report.

"Brother Shan, I heard from Cao Hu that there have been many refugees from other places in Jiang County recently, and many of them have their families. It seems that the times are not peaceful."

"It's strange that it can be peaceful. Liaodong's combat power is weak, and the Ming Dynasty has lost revenue year by year. The tax is getting heavier every year. Now we have to pay more Liao tribute. Isn't it still taking salt from the wound? Besides, mobs are everywhere." Lu Haoshan said without surprise: "It doesn't matter if the refugees come, just don't make trouble in my Jiangyou."

Liu Jinzhu nodded and said with some emotion: "That's, it's not good to be hungry. If there is a way out, who wants to leave his hometown and leave his well?"

"Okay, don't sigh. You are still hungry now. If you have time, you should stare at the refugees and don't let them make any trouble. By the way, let's find out what talents are there. Now we are at the moment of using people and need some talents to help. Although the Jiangyou County Government is harmonious now, we are outsiders after all, and we can't rely on them for everything." For some reason, the figure of the burly man appeared in front of Lu Haoshan's eyes, and his heart moved and immediately ordered.

"Yes, Brother Shan, I understand."

Lu Haoshan was afraid that the refugees would cause trouble, so he didn't expect it to become a reality so soon. That night, Lu Haoshan was sleeping soundly and suddenly woke up by the violent gongs: "Come on, kill, kill people."

"Come on, someone is dead."

"Come on, Dangdang"

The sound of gongs and shrill screams echoed in the night sky of Jiangyou County. Lu Haoshan put on a coat and got up to see what was going on. After getting up, he called a bookkeeper and asked. He found out that there were refugees who were committing murder in Baiyuan Pharmacy in the city while the night was dark, killing people and setting fire. Just as the defendant knocked on the update, he saw that Cao Hu had taken the detective team to arrest the murderer.
