Finally, Luo Erniang asked the Hu Shangs to look forward to the goods at the cashmere workshop in Changle County first, place an order, and then pay the payment. Then Luo Erniang issued an order details to each of them, a receipt certificate, and finally gave the glass beads according to the order quantity.
Because this was their first transaction in this way, Luo Erniang finally arranged a manager and a guard to go to Liangzhou City with these Hu merchants.
By the way, I brought a sample of various colors of glass beads to the cashmere workshop in Liangzhou City, indicating the quantity of goods represented by each color of glass beads.
"Did you specify where to pick up the goods?" On the same day, Erniang came to the county government again, and Luo Yong asked her this.
"Of course I have to write it on." Erniang replied.
This is picking up goods in different places. The price is so high. The same goods are obviously more expensive in Liangzhou City than in Changle County. If you are transported to Chang'an City and other places, the price will be even more expensive.
The merchants paid the price and asked them to pick up the goods. Otherwise, their cashmere workshop would lose money by accident.
"Then you have to pay attention to the inventory in Liangzhou City." Luo Yong reminded again.
"You can rest assured, I know what I know." Erniang smiled.
The Zhao family in Shuozhou had shops in Dunhuang. Their family often came and went between Dunhuang and Liangzhou. There were children at home studying at Changle Academy. They asked him to send letters, which was safer and faster than walking on the post station.
"I heard that many Gaochang merchants have come to the city in the past two days." After sitting down, Luo Erniang said to Luo Yong.
"There are only a dozen people." Luo Yong was also clear about this: "Qiao Junlin stopped going to the academy yesterday, and went to the winery."
"I wonder if there is any more?" Luo Erniang said.
"There shouldn't be too many. After their group of people return to Gaochang, they will be able to come some more before the beginning of winter." The news is difficult to circulate in this era. The merchants in Gaochang do not understand the situation in Changle County. Many Gaochang merchants are probably still waiting and watching at this time.
"When the Gaochang merchants come too much, you will not be idle. You still want to eat in the past two days, just tell me." Erniang asked him.
"Dumplings." Luo Yong said immediately: "I haven't eaten dumplings seriously for a while."
"It's just a meal of dumplings. What's the problem? I'll make it with you tomorrow." Er Niang smiled.
As a result, before Luo Yong had eaten this dumpling, county magistrate Guo Fenglai first asked him a problem.
The reason is that in a village where Guo Fenglai and his friends collected taxes these days, there were several families who made trouble, refused to pay taxes well, and wanted to be unemployed people. Guo Fenglai asked Lizheng Village to help coordinate, but it turned out to be useless. After a lot of trouble, Guo County Magistrate got angry and caught the person who led the trouble.
"... They are all a group of unruly people, they are simply foolish. In the case of his family, how can they be rated as a non-class household..."
Guo Fenglai has been busy collecting taxes in the past two days, and the work is heavy and the pressure is high. Now that he is disturbed by this matter, he will not be willing to ease his anger when he gets angry.
"Then what are you going to deal with him?" County Magistrate Luo threw a smile into his mouth, chewing, and asked slowly while asking.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder, the county jail was very cold at night.
He also saw the man just now. He had dark skin, strong body, and his hands and feet were very rough. He was a good job at work. There were only more than 1,200 households in Changle County. Such a strong laborer was frozen and less.
"Don't you know the county magistrate, do you think Guo is acting like a thunderous collision?" Guo Feng asked Luo Yong.
"That's not." Luo Yong said: "It's just that although this person takes the lead in causing trouble, he may not be the mastermind of this matter."
The rafters that stand out are rotten first, and smart people understand this truth. Therefore, when smart people encounter this situation, they often instigate others to charge in front of the battle, and they follow behind to get the bargain.
Guo Fenglai may not be unaware of this truth, but since this guy dares to jump out and challenge him, who else can Guo Fenglai catch him if he doesn't catch him?
"According to the views of the county magistrate?" Guo Fenglai asked.
"Let him learn some lessons and let him go." Should I keep it for the New Year if I don't let it go?
"This..." Guo Fenglai was a little embarrassed. He made a big move today to catch the person. If he let him go back gently, it would seem that he, the county magistrate, was so majestic.
"You go, let me leave this matter to me." Luo Yong said.
Luo Yong did not interrogate the villager that night. After breakfast the next morning, everyone went to work hard. Luo Yong then ordered a servant to take the villager to the small hall where he worked on his daily life.
"I heard that there are several families in your village who can't pay taxes. I wonder what's the difficulty?" After the man came, Luo Yong asked him this.
"The food in the field is not collected, and there are wives, children and children to support them. There is no food or cloth at home, so I can't pay taxes for the moment. Please don't blame me." The man hugged Luo Yong and said carelessly.
"I don't think that the people are so difficult." Luo Yong's face showed a little dull look and muttered something:
"Originally, with my ability, I would be able to protect the health of the people. Now it seems that you can't even pay taxes. You are living a worse life than before..."
The man was indeed a honest man. When he heard Luo Yong say this, he immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Since Luo Yong became the county magistrate in Changle County, they carried some melons, vegetables and grains to the city on weekdays. How could they exchange more copper coins for them than before? In the slack season, they could carry tofu to sell and work in the cement workshop. How could they say that their days were not as good as before?
"Don't blame yourself for your own fault. We are a remote countryside and life is not easy," said the man.
"The situation in the countryside is a little harder than in this city. I also know that the situation in the county is like this now. This year, business roads are not accessible, and the government is not easy. How much tax is missing in your family? Let me tell me, I will get some money and fill it out for you first."
"This..." Why do you feel embarrassed to ask the county magistrate to pay taxes for their family?
"You don't need to see me, just pass this level before talking. It is illegal to resist taxes. If you are detained to serve as hard labor, what should you do if your wife, children, and children at home?" Luo Yong said again.
"At some time, I'm confused, please don't blame me." After hearing Luo Yong's words, the man immediately bowed down and gave him a big gift and never submitted any taxes again.
In fact, when he was in prison last night, he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have heard a few good words from others, so he was so excited that he would have taken care of him. If something really happened to him this time, his wife, children, and children would be left unattended.
Unexpectedly, when he met County Magistrate Luo today, he not only did not blame him, but also said such words to himself. Thinking about his previous actions, he was really ashamed.
“…How can you really pay taxes?”
"Sure, I'll hand it over when I go back."
"After going back, let me know clearly with the rest of your village. If you want to leave a household, you will go to the county government to talk to you. The county officials will verify and judge according to the situation of each company. If you don't meet the conditions, it will be useless to cause trouble. This time, you are a first offender and will not be investigated. If you commit another offender, you will have to deal with it according to the law."
"Here."
"You go."
Two more days later, Guo Fenglai came back from the countryside and said that those who had caused trouble had paid all the taxes and did not leave a pound of food.
There is also the person who took the lead in causing trouble last time. When he heard that he was talking to everyone, he would tell everyone that County Magistrate Luo was good. Next time someone wanted to cause trouble, he would not be able to incite him if he was afraid.
Guo Fenglai also felt that it was a bit novel. He had heard that Luo Yong had a nickname for a coffin board, and his temper was like the stones in the pit and were smelly and hard. Now it seems that he is very good at coaxing people.
"How do you think of me like this?" County Magistrate Luo put a smile on his mouth. Two days ago, Ernie sent him a few pounds. As he ate, there was not much left.
"Nothing happened." Guo Fenglai shook his head and said with a smile.
"I think he doesn't look like a traitor, so he acts like this." Let's try it if the evil one comes over and see if Luo Yong deals with him well.
"Everyone has times when they are not clear. You can't be serious with others every time. You should be more sleek when it should be." County Magistrate Luo taught the lesson to County Magistrate Guo.
"You said this is a problem that can be solved with a more relaxed method. What are the benefits of having to fight head-on with those people? Once this contradiction intensifies, it will inevitably cause some damage. It is not easy for us small officials in the local area. If we have to feel uncomfortable with ourselves, then we can still be regarded as an official..."
While talking, the two walked towards the place where they were eating.
The little girl from the four or five-year-old Huangxiancheng family was playing in the corridor. When Luo Yong passed by, she smelled a sweet smell, so she followed her with her short legs, held Luo Yong's clothes, opened her black eyes, and asked softly: "Mr. Magistrate, what are you eating?"
