Chapter 477 Why come to Yantou Town
Old Day:
It is not good for men to use the word "weak", but it just feels like the car moving forward suddenly slows down, and everyone also sees that the degree of typing has dropped significantly.
I don’t know what happened during those days, but then I got a fever, had a cold, and had a stomachache for two days, and my body was very weak.
Code is also a physical job, and it is not possible to do without a healthy body, so the condition of this week is particularly poor. In addition, I was very busy at the end of the year, and everything happened before and after the moving house.
This week I was tired and it was very difficult to write, so I wanted to lie in front of the computer and sleep. I stopped writing and took a few days off, so I also asked for leave.
If you want to say something, the great masters all ask for leave and even get a higher vote. This is really enviable.
After returning to the book, Lao Bai made up his mind to take a leave, and after a while, he felt uncomfortable all over. Five years of stable update habits, not letting me write is even more uncomfortable than being sick and empty. Work and writing are almost the whole of my life.
Haha, what are you saying? Write it. I probably won’t stop during the Spring Festival. Let Lao Bai miss more. Just use monthly tickets to motivate Lao Bai to go. Of course, you can’t miss the dinner before you even have it. Let’s have a good weekend.
"Mr. Lu, Yu Shuangshi got up very late today. He found a place to have a drink outside until noon, and then he was in Qinguan again. The young man had already taken shifts with others."
In the duty room of Lu Wancai, the chief magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, where did a servant report? Lu Wancai nodded with a calm face and said:
"You and Xiaowu finished this mail and left the city to go to their relatives' house for a few days to take a break, and they would pay the money, so I understand."
The officer bowed and said:
"Please rest assured, the younger brothers understand that only the younger brothers are doing this."
Lu Wancai took out a silver croaker from his waist pocket and threw it over. The officer took it and retreated with a smile.
************
When it was dark, the palace gates were closed, and Du Yi, one of the three heads of the Public Security Department, naturally could not come out. In the private room of Zhenxing Building in South Street, only Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai discussed it.
A few seasonal side dishes were carefully prepared on the table, but the two of them had no intention of eating them. Lu Wancai said there:
"I have found a few people here in Fantian Mansion to watch. Yu Shuangshi is a man of alcohol and sex. He seems to have nothing else to do except enjoying and enjoying each day. And there are no ones who are familiar with each other in the capital. But what did Brother Li find out about the person who came to see him the day before yesterday?"
Li Wenmai also shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I sent someone to follow me, but the family moved in recently. The neighbors around me didn't know each other, but they looked at the wealthy and there were always carriages and horses."
Seeing the worry on Lu Baicai's face, Li Wenyuan couldn't help but say:
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to do this. The Public Security Bureau is full of eyes and ears. As long as we are staring at me, unless he doesn't make any mistakes, he will show a little spider silk... "
Lu Wancai waved his hand and said:
"Brother is not thinking about this. This is the second time when the adults were assassinated. Since the adults were in the capital, there seems to be someone targeting him. And this person is not what we know... Maybe I thought about it too much, but I always think of Jiang Zhonggao these days. Thinking about it, it is a bit strange that he died..."
Jiang Zhonggao, the genius who used to work in the imperial kitchen and never remembered the people in the palace, cleared the hidden stakes hidden in the palace of Sanyanghui, and got a position as a minor prisoner, who was in charge of South Street, but died of an acute illness.
Until he passed by Texas, Dong Chuangxi was still wondering why Wang Tong asked about the name of the man Built Iron Tower.
This iron tower is the landlord of Jinan Prefecture and is also the main official of Yantou Town. The local official is responsible for urging the tax on poetry and labor. If the payment is not enough, he has to advance the tax on his own. It is the most ineffective position. If the good people are often ruined, they are afraid of it.
But this iron tower is different. When he was building this Lizheng, his family only had 300 acres of early land, but after working in Lizheng for a year, he had 2,000 acres of irrigated land at home... Now, he has already had a number of landlords in Jinan Prefecture.
Yantou Town relies on the Dayou River, which has water sources to irrigate and trade benefits from the north and east of Jinan Prefecture. It is difficult to manage here without money. However, with money here, there are very few people willing to pay taxes. Officials from Jinan Prefecture were moved by this wealth, but no one was willing to collect taxes and were unwilling to cause trouble.
Since I built an iron tower and became a lizheng, I have paid enough taxes to Jinan Prefecture every year, and I have never given a lot of filial piety to all parties. This is a great appreciation. It is said that the prefect ordered the iron tower to make up for the shortage of horse speed in the government office, and I can be regarded as a formal official institution.
The family business is getting bigger and bigger, but this iron tower is not arrogant and humble. Not only does it do good deeds in Yantou Town, but it also gives a lot of filial piety to the superiors.
However, gradually, there are fewer and fewer shops in Yantou Town that can pay taxes, and the tax amount that the government has set for Yantou every year is getting lower and lower, so no one has noticed this.
As a Jinyiwei Qiangu in Shandong, Dong Chuangxi is very well-informed. He built an iron tower to collude with officials from Jinan Prefecture and drove out all the people who were doing business in Yantou Town, embezzled these industries, bought good land at a low price, and then faked the land book without paying taxes.
Although the taxes paid to the Ming Dynasty were getting less and less, the officials in charge of Jinan Prefecture all had their own shares and dividends in the industry that built the towers. Naturally, everyone was willing to do so. Because they had good management, even the land acres in the world in recent years did not affect the construction of the towers.
Although Dong Chuangxi knew the trick, he himself took advantage of building an iron tower. The two parties engaged in business together naturally turned a blind eye.
Building an iron tower hurts people with industries. The local people have no obstacles. He usually wins people with small favors, but after a while, he actually gets the name of "a great charity".
Such a person may be somewhat famous in Jinan Prefecture, but in Shandong Province and northern Zhili, that's nothing. How did Wang Tong know?
After passing Dezhou, follow the official road of Pingyuan County and Yucheng County, and heading to the southeast, it is Jinan City. On the official road of ten miles from Jinan City, Wang Tong and his party did not enter the city, but instead walked on the fork road to the east.
What should I do if I don’t go to the city and go east? The towering city walls are all in front of me. Dong Chuangxi can’t figure it out, but
Wang Tong is now his only life-saving straw, and he can only follow him no matter how the other party does it.
When he arrived at the destination, Dong Chuangxi roughly understood why Wang Tong asked him about building an iron tower, because the destination was not Jinan City, but Yantou Town.
It is not right to say that it is Yantou Town. In a depression about five miles away from Yantou Town, people stopped in it, and the people in the town could not see it at all.
However, in summer, the depressions are also the place where the river flows by. There are reeds that are tall all over the place. There are many mosquitoes and the people biting are quite uncomfortable, so they can only be next to each other. Fortunately, because the reeds are dense, people outside can't see the people hiding inside if they don't walk in.
After Dong Chuangxi was nailed by mosquitoes, he finally couldn't help it. He quickly walked to Wang Tong and asked with anger:
"Mr. Wang, Dong's family is all in Jinan City. You came to Yantou Town to do something. It is now the third day of the August 2018. If you can't take care of this matter, let Dong go back and spend all his family's wealth and fight the thieves to the death!!"
Dong Chuangxi was so passionate about his words. Wang Tong, who was looking at Yantou Town, just glanced at him and said coldly:
"If you have the ability to spend all your family wealth, why should you go to the capital and Tianjin Guard to ask for help everywhere? I have come to Shandong. Then you must keep your whole family peaceful. First, do the rewrites well and read through what you want to do, so as not to mislead things at that time."
"But Lord Wang, Dong's family is in Jinan City, not in Yantou Town. What you told me is the final act. Everything has not been done now, how...
"After tonight, it's time for you to finish."
Wang Tong replied casually, and at this time he heard the sound of singing outside the depression. The people sitting there rested stood up. Wang Tong waved to the side, and several soldiers nodded and stood up, trotting out with their waists.
Dong Chuangxi was anxious, but he didn't dare to leave Wang Tong for half a step. He was extremely afraid of the bandits of Wu's family. How could he have the courage to fight desperately? He took off a piece of skin from his horse and put it on the ground. He sat down dejectedly. Turning his head to look at it, but several trees on the edge of the depression had been cut down, and the soldiers were cutting around him. Is it going to make a fire and cook...
From beginning to end, he didn't think about how Wang Tongyi's people from Tianjin and Wei can find such a hidden place in Yantou Town, where they are unfamiliar with them.
"I got the news from Mr. Bao Shanwen, and then I came here. Are the heroes!?"
The man singing outside the depression was wandering around, but suddenly he was pushed to the ground by someone and was dragged into the ground before he could struggle.
When he realized it, there were strong men in front of him wearing blue cloth and black cloth clothes. Although the man who sang the song didn't know who the other party was, he might feel the murderous aura on these people and quickly spoke out.
Wang Tong glanced at the white hand towel that the man was helping with his left arm. Everything was correct. Then he nodded, put the person up, and asked:
"Are everything ready in the town, in the house?"
"It's all right. Since Mr. Bao promised to bring the brothers to the Qi family to make money, these things must be done properly. The young man will stay here and lead the way to the evening. If there is any mistake, you will cut off the little man's head first."
Wang Tong smiled, took out a golden nickel piece and patted it on the man's palm, and said:
"Let's rest first, after things are done, there will be your benefits!!"
The man's waist was about to bend to the ground. When he picked up the money, his eyes suddenly widened. It turned out to be gold. This group of people were so generous.
Wang Tongzhen didn't expect that Bao Shanwen was just a salt owl. There were so many ways to get in contact with the people in Northern Zhili and Shandong. Along the way, there were people leading the way. When they were in Yucheng County, someone came to inform us of where Yantou Town was so embarrassing. There was such power in this grassroots market.
It was late at night. Although Yantou Town was prosperous, it was just a town after all. After a brief hustle and bustle, it gradually became quiet.
Wang Tong and his men, who were already ready, stood on the edge of the ground, looking at the direction of the town. There were earth walls and deep ditches around such towns to guard against bandits, and at midnight, Zhuang Dingxiang Yong was on duty at 1 o'clock and there was a wind light illumination.
In this direction, you can see the wind lamp shaking a few times. The man who came over during the day turned around and said:
"It's OK!"
"Go forward, the noise kills you!!"
Wang Tong whispered the order, and everyone turned over and began to move towards Yantou Town.
Chapter completed!
