Chapter 67 A Test
After spending five days, Lu Haoshan visited all the rich and wealthy people who were famous in Jiangyou. He was a little nervous when he set off, but when he came back, he was full of spring breeze. This time he traveled, he could gain both fame and fortune. Not only did he get a lot of money and mortgage his official fields, but he also gained a reputation that was difficult to measure with money. It can be said that he returned home with all his life.
At this moment, Lu Haoshan was sitting in the hall like a great hero. The captain Cao Hu, the chief clerk Zhang Yunhui, the official of the Lifang Office Su Fang, the official of the Ministry of Works Tang Zichuo and others were sitting below. The official of the Household Office Zhou Dayuan really picked up the abacus and slapped the beads. He was counting the gains of the county magistrate this time.
The accounts were only more than twenty, with more than three thousand taels and less than one hundred taels. They were all raised by the Magistrate of Lu from the landlords and wealthy families in Jiangyou. In addition, there were also the money mortgaged from the official lands. Not long after, Zhou Dayuan said excitedly: "Sir, the accounts have been cleared."
"Tell me, there is nothing to hide." Lu Haoshan said lazily. In fact, he had already known in his heart. Now he was just showing off his credit.
Zhou Dayuan responded and began to read loudly: "It took me five days to visit the twenty-six wealthy families in the county, and raised a total of 8,350 taels of silver. In addition, Shantian, under the name of the four major institutions, was successfully mortgaged out in three parts, raising a total of 4,200 taels of silver, and obtaining a total of 12,550 taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The chief clerk Zhang Yunhui said in surprise: "Those guys have changed their temperament and donated more than 8,000 taels of silver. Last year, the crops in Jiangyou were lost. Zhang said he had dried up all his saliva and only got more than 2,000 taels of silver."
"The Jiangyou Zhao family has a good start," Zhou Dayuan said happily: "They donated more than 3,000 taels, so that others donated less, and they would not be able to match their faces. Everyone was busy with fireworks, and it was still the adults who had achieved such results."
Cao Hu said happily: "This is incomparable. The Zhao family alone donated more than 3,000 taels. Only one is more than the one raised last year. It depends on the wisdom of the adults. Now, the entire Jiangyou is rumoring that the adults have passed three passes in a row, and the adults have also donated their salary for a year."
"The first altar is thick, and the second altar is not much thin. Besides, the price of the official land mortgage is also good. With this money, the pressure on tax collection will be greatly reduced this time." Su Fang also said happily.
Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "The tax to be collected this time is 20,567 taels. With this more than 2,000 taels, the pressure on the people can be reduced by half at once, and it will not force them to lose their money and sell their children, Zhou Sili."
"The little one is"
"You immediately use the notice to announce the results of this to the people of Quanjiangyou, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief. By the way, list the silver donated by the Shanchang Renweng one by one, and a penny must be clearly listed, and post it with the notice. First, give an explanation to those who donated the silver, and second, give them the praise to promote this good atmosphere. To make a plaque of the Youjishan Home at a later date, the county government cannot express it at all."
Zhou Dayuan immediately took the order and said, "Yes, sir."
After the explanation, Lu Haoshan turned his head and said, "Zhang Zhubu, how are the tax revenue now?"
"When I say that, I am ashamed of you." Zhang Yunhui said with a frustration: "Except for Zhaojia Village, the progress in other places is not good, and it can be said that it is very important to take action."
Lu Haoshan comforted: "There are too much collection in front of us, and many people cannot afford it. Many of them have the same idea. Anyway, the order is not enough, so it is better not to pay it. This way, all the income from the fundraising is filled in the land tax, and the rest will be distributed. Now the court is using the money, but it cannot be delayed. It is reduced by half and it will not be collected. If they don't pay it, they will not be able to blame others."
Even if you only pay half of it, it is also a huge burden to the people. Lu Haoshan now wants to win people's hearts, and then to sow the relationship between the court and the people of Jiangyou. Naturally, he will not do everything in full. Otherwise, he will be in vain. Otherwise, he will be able to deal with the expenses from the wealth confiscated by Chen Gui. Why bother with such a thing? What is the emperor's mind? It means that good people must be pretended to be bad things. As long as the goal is achieved, he will use any means.
Although Lu Haoshan said something ordinary, his tone increased when he spoke, and his words were filled with a sense of authority. Zhang Yunhui felt a little nervous when he heard this, and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately stood up and responded: "Yes, sir, the official must do his best to collect the taxes as soon as possible."
Everyone discussed for a while and then it dispersed. Lu Haoshan ran outside for a few days, but he was so tired that he had a full basin of water. He was chatting with Liu Jinzhu while taking a bath. During the days he went out, Liu Jinzhu was his eyes and ears left in the county.
"Jinzhu, I'm out these days, nothing is wrong?"
"It's nothing, everything is normal." After Liu Jinzhu finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Shan, there is a woman named Zhao Min who is looking for you. I heard that you have not come back yet and have left without saying anything. That's really a beautiful girl. I heard from the yamen runners at the door that they were as beautiful as fairies, and they all were stunned."
Zhao Min?
Lu Haoshan smiled slightly and almost forgot that he had a three-day appointment with her. Unexpectedly, he was busy and crazy. He didn't know if he wanted to go out, but the chance was very low. He just thought of it, that is, he taught her a formula without any loss. As for the tea and horse transaction, Lu Haoshan was not in a hurry because there was a big plan to be implemented, and he had to wait until the implementation of this big plan was completed before he could take time and energy to "storage grain" plan.
"Okay, don't pay attention to her, Jin Zhu, Yuan San and his family, how are they arranged? Is there any problem?"
Liu Jinzhu hurriedly said, "All arrangements are made. Yuan San and the others have been training in Niutou Mountain. I have watched it secretly several times. They are very strong during training and are not lazy. The families have settled down almost. Two families have opened a small shop together. Oh, by the way, two of them have already finished their marriage the day before yesterday. They are all good women. However, their status is special, so they just simply worshiped the church and added some food. Fortunately, the gift was given enough, and those families didn't care. They kept saying good things about Brother Shan."
"Well, it's a good job," Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "It's time to talk to them."
"Brother Shan, I'll go and find Yuan San?"
"No, I'll go find them, Jinzhu, prepare horses." After Lu Haoshan said, a sneer appeared on his face.
In this chaotic era, I am not a good person, and I have done enough preparation. It is time to test them.
"Yes, Brother Shan."
...........
Niutou Mountain is located more than 30 miles away from the outskirts of Jiang County. Due to inconvenient road traffic and high mountains and dangerous roads, it is rare to visit. It is said that there have been large insects with white foreheads recently. The county government also posted a notice to remind the people not to enter the mountain. Therefore, this place became an excellent training ground for Yuan San and his subordinates.
"Put hard, one, two, three, lift." At this moment, Yuan San shouted loudly.
"Ah!" The warriors struggled to lift the stone lock in their hands, then straightened it up until they ran out of strength, and then threw it down.
The role of cavalry is to be flexible, have strong raiding ability, large combat radius, penetration, and outstanding chiseling ability, and has unparalleled advantages in infantry. The cavalry's combat methods are mainly cavalry, crawling, and chopping. In any case, they have high requirements for human physical fitness. For example, cavalry runs on weekdays, lifts stone locks, practices formations, etc. Seeing that their subordinates successfully lifted the big stone locks, Yuan San said to his breathless subordinates: "Okay, rest for a quarter of an hour, and practices cavalry after a quarter of an hour."
Just as he was disbanded, Yuan San suddenly looked, turned his head and looked at it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed forward and said respectfully: "Yuan San has seen the lord."
The person who came was Lu Haoshan and his elder brothers, and Yuan San did not dare to neglect his parents and rushed up to say hello.
Lu Haoshan nodded: "Brother Yuan is exempted from gifts, please get up quickly."
"Yes, sir."
"When you were training, I also watched from the side. I felt that it was a little different from the previous few days, and my energy obviously reached another level."
Yuan San said proudly: "Yes, I had to escape the pursuit a few days ago and I had to take care of women and children. Sometimes I had to eat the whole meal but couldn't get along with the training. Now I'm fine, brothers can devote themselves to training with all their body and mind, and now I'm almost back."
"It's OK to be back," Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Mr. Lu has something to do, and he is about to ask Brother Yuan."
