Chapter 33
During the New Year, there are quite a lot of people walking towards Ye Xiaotian's mansion, but most of them visit and contact each other during the New Year holidays, such as the county gentry, yamen bureaucrats, garrison officials, and the clerks. The one who can really go in and out is Ye Xiaotian's friend or confidant.≌
Among these people, the tycoon was busy serving the children and couldn't go out. The only ones who often visited the Ye family were Su Xuntian, Zhou Bantou, Li Yuncong and others. On this day, Li Yuncong arrived at Ye's mansion again, holding his right arm and carrying a big, colorful bird on his wrist, swaying like a playboy.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing at the sight: "Haha, Brother Li is driving an eagle and a dog, and he really has the majesty of a tax ambassador."
Li Yuncong's face turned red and he smiled, "Don't make fun of me, the second master, this parrot is a filial piety of his subordinates. He is not happy to raise birds. I saw that the second master's family yard is vast and he raises Vajra and Pixiu. I guess he will like it, so I sent it to you."
Li Yuncong said as he raised his arms, and the gorgeously feathered parrot flapped its wings and flew up, but Li Yuncong put a silver iron ring on his thumb, and there was a thin iron chain tied to the parrot's feet. It didn't fly too far. The parrot spread its wings in the air and screamed: "Hello, great official, good, good official."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly, "Brother Li is in love. I like this parrot very much!"
Li Yuncong is Ye Xiaotian's relatively smart subordinate. He is neither as casual as Su Xuntian nor dull as Zhou Bantou. When he comes to the Ye family, he never starts empty-handed, but giving gifts seems a bitchy. Besides, the Ye family has a great career, so he really has nothing to give to sell. If he doesn't give, it seems too casual, so every time he comes to the door, he carefully tries some gadgets.
The maid in front of the hall was very happy to see the bird beautiful and able to speak. He quickly stepped forward and took the iron ring from Li Yuncong. Li Yuncong said, "This bird has been trained, so you are not afraid of strangers. Take it to settle!" As he said that, he pulled the iron chain, and the parrot flew back and followed the chain and landed on the little maid's arm.
The little maid took the parrot happily. Ye Xiaotian asked Li Yuncong to sit down and asked, "Can you control everything in the tax department?"
Li Yuncong bowed and said, "It's okay, especially around the New Year Festival, the road is not busy, and everything goes well." He cleared his throat and said, "However, there will be something big after the New Year. I'm afraid you have to prepare early, otherwise you will be afraid of chaos."
Li Yuncong, the tax ambassador, was recommended by Ye Xiaotian. In the officialdom, the recommender must be recorded in the resume of the recommended person. If there is a problem, the recommender will be held accountable, so he is not a very credible person. Usually, officials will not recommend it easily, and it is natural that the recommended person is regarded as the recommended person for this kind of kindness.
Now that Li Yuncong has just performed his duties, if something goes wrong, it means that Ye Xiaotian is confused, so Ye Xiaotian is also very concerned. He leans his head and makes a focused attitude, and Li Yuncong "reports" to him. Although the county magistrate and the tax ambassador have no direct subordinate relationship, and this is not a formal occasion, to be precise, this is a report.
Of course, the Taxation Department manages not only commercial taxes, but Huxian is not an important economic pillar except for the Yilu Road trade. Especially as a major agricultural country in the feudal era, the proportion of agriculture in the county's county was extremely low, but low does not mean there is no one, so this is also part of the responsibility of the Taxation Department.
Previously, Xu Boyi launched the Yi Su change surname activity, but Ye Xiaotian picked peaches. The credit was his, and the responsibility was naturally his. Now, it is time to fulfill his obligations after the New Year.
Taxes are collected this year, and taxes that have been exempted by families who respond to the call of the court and change their surnames in Yi Su must be strictly calculated. These are deducted from the total tax that should be collected. At the same time, agriculture in Huxian is not prospering, but instead, relief from the government is required every year. How to distribute this amount, how much relief funds can be obtained from the boss, and whether to provide relief to families who have been exempted? All of these are higher-level issues. It is indeed not something that Li Yuncong, the tax ambassador, can not ignore it, because once there is a problem, he will be the direct person in charge, and even Ye Xiaotian will be affected.
After hearing him, Ye Xiaotian said decisively: "Party members who have received exemptions must also participate in receiving relief. They are exempted because they respond to the call and accept the customs. They have nothing to do with the difficulties of their family background, and they do not accept relief first. If they are excluded this time, then the favors they have received before will become empty text. There is no need to doubt this, you can first expose the air to calm people's hearts. As for how much relief can be obtained from the Shangfeng and how to distribute it, as soon as the yamen is opened, I will discuss with the county master immediately!"
Li Yuncong couldn't make a decision in this kind of thing. Today he came to Ye Xiaotian for help. After getting Ye Xiaotian's words, Li Yuncong felt relieved. After the conversation, the two of them started talking about some relaxed topics. As a result, a loud roar was heard, which was the voice of the giant ape.
Ye Xiaotian heard the sound as if it was coming from the courtyard where he lived in Yaoyao, and then left the seat and rushed to the corridor, curiously looking into the courtyard where he lived in Yaoyao. In the courtyard where he lived, the parrot was dragging a piece of chain and flew around the courtyard, shouting in a coquettish voice: "Silly! You fool!"
I think this sentence has also been learned from other places. It may even be the words used by the owner to scold it when he is first to learn words. However, from his tone and expression, he can probably understand the occasions that should be used, and it is used to scold the giant ape.
The big man roared and scolded like a angrily gazed at the King Kong, and from time to time he jumped into the air, stretched out his huge palm like a palm fan and slapped at the parrot, but it was like a cannon hitting a mosquito, and it could not be its edge.
The giant ape is huge and cannot penetrate the sword and gun. He rushes around the yard, jumps high and low, breaks a tank, and crashes into a corner of the rockery. He rushes to the corner of the yard in anger, pulls out the willows, swings the soil and trash all over the sky, and leaves the two little maids, but Fuwaer is happy and runs around after the big man who is jumping up and down, as if he is extremely interesting.
Ye Xiaotian hurried into the yard with Li Yuncong. Seeing that King Kong and the parrot were fighting, they were stunned. Ye Xiaotian shouted in surprise: "What's going on? How can such a small thing make things happen with the big man?"
He hid behind the pillars in the corridor, poked his little head out, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know. Although the parrot's mouth is a little broken, it is quite cute. But the big man doesn't like it. The parrot just took a bite on its head, and it became furious..."
At this time, there was a rumbling sound, and the leaping Vajra fell down and hit the wall, crushing all the walls. The parrot dragged the chain and didn't fly high, but the Vajra didn't know how to grab the chain. Besides, a thin iron chain, its giant palm might not be able to catch it.
Seeing the parrot flying towards him, Ye Xiaotian jumped over, grabbed the chain, and dragged the parrot towards him. Seeing that the courtyard was in a mess, Li Yuncong said awkwardly: "Second Master, I'm not considering it well, this parrot..."
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and sighed, "What do animals don't understand human affairs? That's all. This slut and the big man don't like each other, so just keep it in my room."

At the foot of the mountain, in the back of the county yamen, Hua Magistrate listened to the roar of the giant ape on the short mountain gradually. Then he continued to talk to Bai Zhuan. "Bai Zhuan, after the Lantern Festival, you will open the yamen. After the yamen, you can go to Tongren Mansion."
The person walking next to him was Bai Hongbai's chief clerk. Today, he was invited by Hua County Magistrate Hua, and he knew something was wrong. When he heard this, he hurriedly rushed to Hua County Magistrate Hua for advice: "I wonder what business is there for the great master to send his subordinates to Tongren Mansion?"
Bai Hong was the magistrate of Jiangpu and a first-class county. His identity was higher than Hua Qingfeng. Now that he is in the chief clerk, he really takes his figure and his figure is a little bit lacking, and he is extremely respectful. Perhaps the downfall in his career has really hit him, which has caused him to change his temperament.
Hua Magistrate Fu Xu said: "When the year approaches, the imperial court has allocated a sum of money. You also know that most of the land in Guizhou is barren, and it is difficult for each county to complete the tax collection. It is necessary to accept relief from the imperial court every year. After this sum of money, there are more wolves and fewer meat. If you don't take action earlier, once the first month is out, when you go to the government office, you will probably be divided up by other counties and counties, so you have to start early."
Bai Hong suddenly said, "Ah! Xiaguan understands. Since that's the case, Xiaguan immediately rushed to Tongren after the Lantern Festival."
Hua Qingfeng glanced at him and nodded, "This is the best! Bai Zhuan, don't blame the unkindness of the county. He sent you to travel in the first month. He was forced to do it. The people in this county are tough and often make trouble for some relief. Last year, many local people responded to the court's actions of changing customs and received exemptions from money and grain. Therefore, the situation became more complicated and it was inappropriate to not give them relief. But if it was distributed according to the customs of previous years, it would be very unfamiliar to people who had not received benefits before, and people who had not received benefits before were jealous and jealous. Then the right and wrong would inevitably be even worse. If we can ask for more money and grain, it would be safer."
Bai Hong came to Huxian to earn a degree. He did not seek merit, but did not seek merit. This is his creed for being an official. Although Hua Qingfeng just said lightly like a chat, Bai Hong sensitively noticed "the people's customs are tough" and "the right and wrong are even worse." Bai Hong immediately asked for advice nervously. As soon as Hua Magistrate said, his heart was cold.
The situation of the counties under the Tongren Prefecture is relatively complicated. Most of them are the heads of Tu magistrates. Zhang is the Tu magistrate. These Tu magistrates have been passed down from generation to generation and have always been his subordinates. They are the real direct descendants. On the contrary, if a migrant official in Hu County is equivalent to being a member of the court. In the eyes of Zhang, they will inevitably become children of other people. In this way, is it necessary to say who is far away and who is close?
Therefore, the relief funds allocated by the imperial court to Guizhou Prefecture and the Guizhou Prefecture to Tongren Prefecture were allocated. The prefect Zhang had always been able to pay his true direct line. Huxian had always been just a matter of the matter. No matter how you could tell the truth, it would be impossible to win more.
This has always been the case in previous years, but this year's situation is different. Last year's move to Yi Su, the court exempted the money and food of the people who responded to Yi Su. In this way, the taxes collected will be less. If the court allocated too little money, it will inevitably be stretched.
At that time, the people will be dissatisfied and those who have been exempted will continue to receive relief. Those who have not received exemptions will inevitably be unbalanced. If the salaries of officials and clerks are delayed, the entire yamen will be dissatisfied. Bai Hong is just a newly appointed official and has no prestige in the county. How could he eat so much dissatisfaction?
Bai Hong immediately became nervous and quickly shirked away, saying, "Oh! Xiaguan never thought that there were so many problems in this. It was related to the stability of the people in Hu County. Xiaguan had just arrived in Hu County, how could he bear such a heavy responsibility? The county magistrate must choose another wise man."
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said embarrassedly: "Bai Zhuanzhu, as the chief clerk, this is your responsibility. If you don't go, who else can the county entrust? Besides, if you go to the government office to compete for relief funds, if your identity is not as good as yours, there is no hope of success."
Who else can be more than Bai Zhuanzhu? Apart from Hua Magistrate, there is only Ye County Magistrate. Bai Hongfu was very sincere and immediately said: "Sir, the matter of Yi Su was first and successful. Moreover, Ye County Magistrate is the disciple of Zhang Gong of Tongren, so he is the best candidate! Look..."
Hua Qingfeng glanced at him and said to himself, "You will be clear about Ye Xiaotian's background." Hua Qingfeng hesitated and said, "That..., this county can tell you about it for you, but you should be responsible for this matter, I'm afraid that Lord Ye will..."
Bai Hong immediately said, "The minister will go to Ye's mansion now and ask the minister Ye County Magistrate to help him. This matter is related to the people's livelihood of our Hu County. I believe that the minister Ye will put the overall situation first."
Hua Qingfeng smiled slightly and nodded, "It's great! If County Magistrate Ye is willing to help you, this county will naturally open the door to convenience."
