Chapter 10 Hamster (2)

Zhao Xing returned to the county government office and sat motionless in the study.

A large part of the twists of the oil lamp are burned, and the light becomes smaller and eventually becomes a bean.

A bean light emits a blue-yellow fog like a firefly, with a small aperture and can only hold it with both hands.

In the cell tonight, Xu Chunlai's question really hurt him.

It was because of the injury that he said so much nonsense.

These words should not be said, which will make him look weak.

Like other students from Yushan Academy, the time in the academy was the happiest, happiest and hardest time in Zhao Xing's life. He liked that time.

At this moment, when recalling the life in the academy, even the fat chef's movement of shaking the spoon and shaking the slices of meat out made Zhao Xing deeply attached.

At the graduation dinner, Zhao Xing, dressed in white like snow, held his arms and sang with wine, and was filled with joy. He watched the female classmates in white dancing under the moon, and watched the male classmates in white dancing by the pool.

Singing and dancing endlessly, sword energy is endless, emperors invite drinks with golden cups, great scholars write their pens, and high officials congratulate each other in unison, and they are even more beautiful and beautiful women walking through the crowd like butterflies, hoping to choose a good son-in-law among these white-clothed scholars.

Now, all of them have been disappointed...

Two wisps of tears flowed down their cheeks, and fell on their clothes and was absorbed by the blue shirt in a flash.

One hundred thousand dan of grain, only sixty-seven,824 silver coins...

If it were the work mistakes of Cangcao Xu Chunlai, if it weren't for the idiots everywhere in Xingyang County, he wouldn't have thoughts...

He still remembered that when he was checking the warehouse accounts, he suddenly found the balance of 100,000 dan of grain that appeared in the account book.

He was furious at first, and he wanted to tear the idiot Xu Chunlai apart... One hundred thousand harbors of food was lost for three consecutive years, and he did not become a merit in Xingyang County, and he was in vain. The Ming Dynasty treasure trove was in vain.

If he had discovered this wrong account three years ago, he would have been able to raise Xingyang's political achievements to a new level after 300,000 dan of money and grain in the past three years.

Just a small transfer of income, villages and towns, towns and counties, counties and prefectures, the three levels of transfer taxes remain unchanged, but the interception changes. This itself is a fiscal and tax policy given to the local government by the court, which can be intercepted.

The Lantian imperial court is different from the tax laws of all dynasties. After receiving taxes, local governments can keep 30% of the excess, and local governments can withhold 50% of the excess as local development funds.

The more excess, the more intercepted it. Once it exceeds a large value, all places can be kept.

The policy is like this, but it is very vague. Only after you have thoroughly understood all economic policies can you draw such a conclusion.

Not only that, when interpreting the policy, do you still need to be extremely familiar with Lantian Royal Court? You are very familiar with the service style of the superior departments and can only be determined by some people in central ministries and commissions.

Otherwise, once the taxes submitted by the above cannot be successfully completed, the amount of payment has been paid, and the consequences are very serious.

Xu Chunlai belongs to this kind of person. He does not understand the difference between the Lantian imperial court and the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

For the Lantian imperial court, they hoped that the place would become stronger and prosperous, and to catch up with the prosperity of Guanzhong as soon as possible. Only when all the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty became rich can the Ming Dynasty truly become rich.

However, the Zhuming Dynasty implemented the "strong, weak branches" policy, which made certain contributions to the stability of the dynasty. However, doing so actually weakens the rule of remote areas, and at the same time, it is also a manifestation of lack of confidence in the orthodox nature of its own rule.

Xu Chunlai stubbornly believed that the amount of money and grain intercepted by the local government could not be greater than the amount of tax paid.

Because the imperial court had deposed the whip method developed by Zhang Juzheng, no matter how it was calculated, the excess money and grain would eventually be reflected in the food.

This is the origin of 100,000 dan of food.

Zhao Xing didn't understand what he was thinking at that time, and through his confidants in the post station, he took the 100,000 dan of grain to the winemaking workshop without knowing it.

The Ming Dynasty was not opposed to winemaking, but the Ming Dynasty adopted a supportive attitude towards business. However, grain is the foundation of the country, and winemaking consumes too much food. Therefore, there are many grains used for winemaking every year.

Now that there are 100,000 additional dan of grain, Xingyang County can brew a lot of more wine, which is of great benefit to the prosperity of Xingyang's business.

The winemaking industry itself is an industry that Zhao Xing is preparing to develop vigorously in Xingyang. He had this idea when he was building Ao Cang.

If he entered the county government account as soon as he received the money purchased by the winery workshop, then even if it was investigated by the top, it would be considered a violation at most. He was scolded by Shangguan and then passed.

Now...this money is buried under his study...

Xu Chunlai, the idiot, also discovered that there was an additional 100,000 dan of grain transactions in the market in Xingyang County, and wrote documents to be sent to the Shenzheng Department of Luoyang through the post station.

The silver under his feet was getting hot, and Zhao Xing's feet were so hot that he did not dare to fall to the ground.

"Husband, why are you staying here alone without cutting the wicks?"

His wife Pei walked in from outside and cut off the burnt wick with scallops as soon as possible. Soon, the room became bright.

My wife was very beautiful today. She was wearing a thin gauze skirt and her chest was wrapped in a pink chest trowel, which was heavy and eye-catching.

Seeing her husband looking at her, Pei turned around under the light and said, "How about it, Zhou Pingpo's craftsmanship, look at this embroidery, double-sided, most people don't have such craftsmanship.

Do you know how much I spent?”

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "No less than twenty silver coins."

The wife laughed and said, "Thirty-seven silver coins, this is only made for me for your county lord. If the merchant family wants to get it, Zhou Pingpo will not do it without a hundred silver coins.

You won’t blame me for spending money randomly, do you?"

Zhao Xing stood up and circled around his wife and said, "It's worth it, I'll go to the warehouse to get it if the money is not enough."

Pei beat Zhao Xing and punched him and said, "Don't take it, that's the money of the official family. I don't have the courage to spend the money in the warehouse. At most, I'm more frugal next month. Although my husband's salary is not much, it's still enough for our whole family."

Zhao Xing returned to his seat and picked up his pen, opened the document and looked like he wanted to work.

Pei brought him tea, and suddenly heard a child crying in the back house, so he hurried to see the child.

Seeing his wife leaving, Zhao Xing opened a floor, and two paulownia boxes appeared under the floor, containing 67,824 silver coins.

The box was opened, and the forged silver coins shone brightly under the light. Yun Zhao's handsome face seemed to have a strong sense of sarcasm.

Zhao Xing pulled the silver coins, and the silver coins roared and grabbed another handful and threw them away. This time the silver coins made a louder sound.

"Take it to the public account tomorrow."

Zhao Xing said to himself, and raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

After re-covering the floor, Zhao Xing began to review official documents and continued to review them until very late.

After packing up his things, Zhao Xing returned to the back house. At this time, the child was already asleep. His wife was dozing and patting the child gently.

"Didn't you tell me? Don't wait for me."

"How can that happen? My husband works hard for the country, and I have to wait for you to wash up."

"Yeah, that's it. I'll try to finish the official business during the day in the future..."

"No, I can afford to wait. You are still young and don't work hard at this time. Wouldn't you be too shameless to be surpassed by your classmates in the future?"

"Okay, I will strive to be a bigger official in the future and make you glorious."

After Zhao Xing washed up, he went to bed, looked at each other with his wife through the child, then blew out the candle and fell asleep...

Zhao Xing's eyes were closed, but a picture appeared in his mind that he didn't want to see...

At this time, it’s time for Hou Kui to take Xu Chunlai out of prison?

At this time, Xu Chunlai must have been choked to death by his vomit, right?

Go to bed, go to bed, after getting up tomorrow morning, nothing will happen... No, I should also write a document of apology. Senior Brother Hao Yushu is the prefect, and he should deduct the document and give me a disciplinary punishment that is neither light nor serious.

Such a disciplinary action will stay on the file for a year, and then it will be cancelled...

It was soon dawn, and Zhao Xing got up quickly, washed up, and went to the county government after breakfast. Today is No. 1, which is the time for the county government to hold a regular meeting. At this regular meeting, he had a lot to arrange.

As usual, Zhao Xing was the last to enter the county government conference room. When he entered, the county magistrate, chief clerk, county magistrate, household magistrate, worker magistrate, warehouse magistrate, academic government, medical administration, and rural chiefs from all over the country had also expired.

Zhao Xing glanced at Xu Chunlai, and Xu Chunlai also looked at Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing's face remained unchanged, and Xu Chunlai's face was full of sorrow and regret.

Zhao Xing opened the notebook and coughed: "Now the meeting..."

Today's meeting was particularly long, and Zhao Xing seemed to have to explain everything at this meeting at one time...

After the meeting, Zhao Xing returned to the study room of the county government and saw Hou Kui sitting on a chair. He was not surprised at all.

"The money is under your chair."

Hou Kui nodded and said, "I know!"

"Are you here to monitor me for the man in black?"

"No, I am a second-level inspector of the Supervision Department of Luoyang Prefecture."

"You have supervised me for two and a half years."

"It's not that you have been supervising you for two and a half years, but that you have been supervising Xingyang County for two and a half years. You should know that the Supervision Department has an inspector in every county."

"How much do you know about mine?"

"If you don't ask me to kill Xu Chunlai, I will not know anything. Of course, I know everything now."

"What kind of scene will I end up?"

"We discussed it overnight. Because Xu Chunlai was not dead, you will not die. However, you may have only two choices. One is to sit in the prison and the other is to the Western Regions and never return in this life."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "What if I choose neither?"

Hou Kui was stunned for a moment and said, "You can't escape."

Zhao Xing looked at Hou Kui and said, "I am the 37th among the eighth graduates of Yushan Academy."

Hou Kui sneered and said, "So what?"
