Chapter 67

Looking at Tian Jiejie-level and others who were as fierce as a vicious person, Quan Erlang asked Qian Yuanwai: "Sir, what's going on? These men and women came outside to guard and not allow people to go out. How to find a mine? The imperial iron prison has already started to be built, but I can't wait!"

Qian Manwai sighed: "I blamed me for being so lard that I was so worried. I watched the yamen select land on the other side of the Li River, and brought some seeds with the merchants, pointing to their own land. I originally wanted to get some compensation from the yamen, but I didn't want to be taxed by the yamen. These people are people from the yamen who come to pursue taxes."

Quan Erlang said: "Mining and iron smelting is a big deal, and paying some taxes is a small deal. Don't lose the big deal because of small things. The official only thinks it's unlucky. Wouldn't it be better to fill the taxes? Those dog officials only recognize the word "money". If you want to make a profit from them, wouldn't it be a tiger's tooth extraction!"

Qian Yuanwai just sighed: "I'm just a little bit confused for a moment and caused this disaster. Now the yamen sends people to stay at home, and they don't take out money, so they can't do anything. Not only Erlang, but also the three brothers of the Shi family are waiting at home, waiting for the construction of the furnace, which is really a frightening person!"

Quan Erlang said: "How much tax can be paid? Pay it quickly and don't miss the big thing!"

"Erlang, if it were a small amount, I would have thought I was unlucky. It was because the number was too large, and it would take one day to go."

"No matter how large the number is, how many can you get? Farming in the countryside, you can earn 10 or 8 jin a year, and the staff member has dozens of jin a year. Just think that you can buy a safe place!"

Qian Yuanwai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ten scattered people? Erlang looked down on the appetite of the yamen! What he wants to pay now is seven hundred scattered people, and even a single piece of money is indispensable! I have never planted that land before. How can I be content with so much money?"

Quan Erlang was stunned and looked at Qian Yuanwai, and after a while, he said, "These dog officials dare to ask for so much money!"

Qian Man Hacker: "Yes, I never expected that the judge of fortune looked at the young, promising, kind-hearted and easy-to-talk person, so cruel to make me lose all my money. Not to be hiding Erlang, I have been doing business for many years and can still take out hundreds of guans at home, but seven or eight hundred guans are absolutely not available. If I really want to pay this money, I have to sell my property."

After hearing this, Quan Erlang was a little discouraged. He also wanted to do something with this rich man for a while, so that he could get some rewards to protect the prince into Beijing. Unexpectedly, he was crazy about gaining and losing his heart, and he actually dared to tease the yamen and pay all his property in one go. What else can he do without money? It would be better to leave early, it would be harder on the road, and entering Beijing early is the main business.

Seeing that Quan Erlang became cold suddenly, Qian Yuanwai was unhappy and insisted on calming himself down, saying, "Erlang, I heard that the young man with you has an unusual identity, and the officials in the yamen want to sell him a little bit of his face. Why not let him come forward and go to the yamen to tell me that I was wrong in occupying the land and was willing to be beaten to some slap, so I should not pay the money."

Quan Erlang took a step back, looked Qian Yuanwai up and down, and said vigilantly: "Where did the official website hear gossip? That person is just the son of an old friend. He wants to go to Beijing to find relatives. Brother Gao and I will escort him together!"

Qian Manwai said: "I was a little bit slouched by Gao Ji'an a few days ago. He wanted wine and meat, but there was no such thing in the farm for a while. He said this."

Quan Erlang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no! He is just the son of a pharmacist. He knows some herbs and collects herbs for a living, and has no origin. When he goes to the yamen, he is afraid that he will cause trouble again like a member of the official!"

If the local officials could know, why did Gao Ji'an and Quan Erlang work hard to raise money to Beijing? It would be better to be comfortably escorted by the local government? People in the world are sinister. Once the identity is leaked, who knows what kind of disaster will happen? Gao Ji'an and Quan Erlang discussed and entered the capital and went straight to the palace. Even Kaifeng Prefecture could not trust the small officials of the prefectures and counties.

Qian Junwai also wanted to say something else. A farmer came over and saluted and said, "Zhengwai, Mr. He from the north village came here and had something to discuss. He was blocked by Tian Jiejia and was not allowed to enter. He was arguing there."

Mr. He had many fertile land by the Marine River in the north. It was a big farm, and he was also a local local household. He had a canal dug from the previous dynasty to irrigate the land, which was richer than Mr. Qian. His family planted a lot of grain and sold it along the Marine Water to Yancheng County to make wine for the restaurant. A few years ago, he simply bought a restaurant in Yancheng, starting with the white wine steamed from wine lees. His business has been prosperous over the years.

When Qian Yuanwai heard that Mr. He came, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said goodbye to Quan Erlang and hurried out. Yancheng was under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou and was the first place where the Du family sold wine. He Yuanwai opened a restaurant there, and he always had something to do with Du Zhongxiao's family. If he had said Xiang, Du Zhongxiao would be free of 700 guan. Qian Yuanwai had already found out about the details of this lucky judge.

When we arrived at the gate, we saw Tian Jiejia standing there with his arms in his arms, looking at the sky, and blocking the gate.

Seeing Mr. Qian go out, Ke Yuan, who was stopped by Tian Jiejie, said: "Brother, what's wrong with your family? I'm here to see you, but Tian Jiejie is stopped and not allowed to enter. They all grew up together in the village. After decades of friendship, how can you do such a thing?"

Tian Jiejie sighed secretly, looked at He Yuanwai and shook his head, and didn't say anything. It was because he grew up together that he did not let He Yuanwai in. Now Qian Yuanwai is in trouble and his family is short of money. Didn't He Yuanwai come to him by himself? As long as he is caught for a few days, Qian Yuanwai can't make enough money, and he can take out his family's things to sell, and everyone can make some profits. Tian Jiejie is in this position, and his family is also a big family in the county. He originally had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to swallow Qian Yuanwai's property, but he didn't want others to disturb him. Such things will inevitably be beneficial to He Yuanwai. It's just that this kind of thing is not easy to say, and the villagers in the village cannot tear apart.

Mr. Qian bowed to Tian Jiejia: "Ji, it's okay if you don't allow my family to go out, why are the guests blocking the door? Mr. He, you have known each other since childhood, and you really don't give me any face?"

Tian Jiejia looked cold and waved his hand: "Just enter, just go in, but don't bring anything out. The magistrate is very careful about this matter. I have no money to get it back tomorrow and will be beaten to the board. In addition to Qian, you only have one day, don't delay!"

After saying that, he took his men and turned aside, and still guarded the Qian family's door.

Mr. He followed Mr. Qian into the door and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on? Tian Jiewei has always been intimate with us, but why did he suddenly turn a frown on his face? Also, what is the money he mentioned?"

Qian Yuanwai sighed repeatedly: "Brother, I feel so sad! When it comes to this matter, alas, I'm so confused!"

These were all grown up together in the hometown. They all knew where there was land and where there was a barren land. Qian Manwai didn't hide it. He said that he planted himself in his idle fields and wanted to cheat money from the yamen. Finally, he said: "I didn't expect that when I arrived at the yamen, they would calculate the taxes for those lands for decades. I don't know, but it was scary when I calculated it! More than 700 guan. Now I have let Tian Jiejia guard the door and insist on handing over the money!"

Mr. He was stunned when he heard this and said, "Brother, have you bumped into something unclean and been fooled? You dare to blackmail the money from the yamen. I tell you that now you are just here to urge you to 700 guan and not let you lose all your money. It is already a blessing."

Qian Yuanwai paused repeatedly: "Brother, I regret it so much now! But what can I do if there is no regret medicine in the world? I have been doing business for many years and have a small business. Where can I get nearly a thousand guan at once? This is really worrying!"

Mr. He turned around and looked at the decorations in the yard, but did not respond. Nearly a thousand guan coins of money was not a small amount. No matter how rich Mr. He was in the country, he did not dare to take the initiative to get it. Both families were first-class households in the county. All the property was calculated, and at least a few thousand guan. Mr. He actually exceeded ten thousand guan. But family property was one thing, and cash was another. No matter how much the rich man in the country liked to save money, there was not so much.

Seeing that Mr. He was indifferent, Mr. Qian said, "Brother, you have opened a restaurant in Yancheng County in the past few years, and your business is fine?"

Mr. He nodded: "It's still acceptable. You can make some free land and you can't make a fortune."

When it comes to money, no one can tell the truth, and Qian Yuanwai was helpless. Then he said, "When my brother first sold wine, I heard it was the liquor from Linying Du's family on credit. Later, I bought a prescription and brewed it in my own restaurant. Is this a matter?"

Mr. He said: "The Du family offered wine lees to steam wine. The imperial court issued a special offer from the three states to sell wine. No one knows this! If you want to sell liquor, how could you bypass the Du family in Xuzhou? This is a good thing. Even now, my restaurant still has to pay the Du family every year."

Qian Yuanwai said happily: "With this friendship, brothers must help me! The person in charge of the business in this area is the Du official from Linying's Du family. He is doing the transportation judgment of the West Road of Jing, and no one in the local prefectures and counties will follow the instructions! I will not hide it from my brothers. That day, I went to the yamen and saw the Du family's small official. He was kind-hearted, and later he had to calculate such a tax, which was unexpected. If I had known it, how could he cheat the villagers! Brother, you have this friendship with the Du family, go and find a small official. Let me tell you, even if I get some slap, I am willing, I really can't take out the money!"

After hearing this, Mr. He looked at Mr. Qian for a while and said, "Brother, we have a relationship with each other, so we don't say anything false. I advise you not to make this idea, hand over the money early, and find another way to make money."

After hearing this, Qian Manwai hurriedly asked, "How do you say this by brother?"

Mr. He said: "The Du family is now the first-class rich man in Xuzhou, a great charity, and everyone thinks about their family's benefits. They are official households, and small officials are doing fortunes and judgments on their own. How powerful is it! But if you ask, the Du family is the first to pay taxes in Xuzhou every year, and they never default. They are like this at their own family. If they don't take advantage of a penny in the yamen, will you be exempted?"

Qian Manwai heard this and stopped. After a while, he said, "There is such a thing? Then why should Mr. Du be this official? He has power and power, just to take more money and pay less taxes?"
