Behind me is the earth

Chapter 103 102. Tax Collector

The west of Yuntai County is already in chaos, but the east of Yuntai County is still prosperous.

However, according to Lao Liu's description, with the influx of a large number of refugees, the security of Dongyang County has also been greatly affected.

But Dongyang is a place with prosperous commerce after all. If these refugees can be slowly digested, it may make this place full of flowers and flowers even more prosperous.

Lu Junyi said goodbye and left at the right time.

The banquet was even more lively as the wine was flowing and the chest was open.

And the sixth child, also in this fight, learned about the development of the boss in the past two or three months, and knew what the boss's confidence was in daring to confront the mayor Xie Yanwu!

This shocked Lao Liu and at the same time he felt that he had to meet the Ming Lord!

From now on, if you follow closely behind your boss, your future will definitely be limitless.

He silently thought of what he said when he was listening to a storyteller in the guild hall in Dongyang County: "When a man is born between heaven and earth, he should assist the Ming Lord and achieve a great career!"

The Zheng family in Qingcheng.

"The Ren family...is it the Ren family from Ningxiangzhai?"

A woman in commoner clothes who looked like an ordinary peasant woman looked at the family letter in her hand and asked.

"Madam, it's the Ren family. Did the head of the family mention the Ren family? The head of the family is far away in Dongyang, how does he know about the Ren family?"

The old housekeeper who was sweeping the courtyard replied.

He was an old man with the Zheng family. In the early years, he took the young Master Zheng out to sea. Later, when he went to sea, he was injured for the Zheng family. When he got older, he returned to Qingcheng and became a housekeeper of the Zheng family. He worked for the Zheng family. His dedication was enough to bridge the gap between master and servant.

Therefore, he speaks more casually.

“It was the Ren family’s caravan that went to Dongyang.

In this letter from the young official, he specifically mentioned the Ren family and the head of the Ren family. While talking about the soap from Ningxiangzhai, we can take our trade route to Dongyang in the future. At the same time, they also asked me about the head of the Ren family, saying that this person seemed to be very capable. If we had more contact with him, maybe we would gain something. "

Mrs. Zheng looked at the letter and said, "The flowers in Baiyuan Garden will bloom in a few days. Then invite the head of the Ren family and his wife to come."

Women from merchant families are not as particular as noble ladies from official families. The old housekeeper responded.

Ren Mansion, Ren Pingsheng was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.

Because of drinking wine, his face was flushed. Ru Hua peeled the washed grapes and put them into his mouth one by one.

Wangshu carried a small stool and pinched his feet.

Qingyin was there cutting cantaloupe for Ren Pingsheng.

Si Qi played the pipa and hummed folk tunes, his voice was melodious and full of flavor.

Xiaowan was sitting on the steps, holding her cheeks in her hands, staring at the moon in the sky.

A gust of breeze blows, and the pomegranate tree sways with the wind. The flowers have already shown their color. The red is like fire, bright and festive.

"I haven't looked at the stars like this in years."

Ren Shengsheng happily held the grapes sent by Ruhua.

Sweet, they are the special sweet grapes he bought in the supermarket, which have a high sugar content.

This rare moment of free time calmed down the mind of this migrant worker who originally planned to enjoy life, and gradually he became mentally sleepy.

"You can share these grapes and cantaloupe among the rest of you."

Yawning, Ren Ping's business enthusiasm waned, he waved his hand and went to sleep in the house.

The four maids were so surprised that they shared the grapes and cantaloupe one by one.

It's sweet, leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth, and tastes like fairy fruit!

"That's so kind of you, sir!"

They couldn't help but think.

"Master, would you like to warm the bed?"

Xiaowan, who was holding her chin in a daze, saw Ren Pingsheng entering the room, so she followed him in, gently tucked him in, and then approached him and asked.

"Huhuhu~"

She was answered by a sound of snoring.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Wan pouted, gently approached Ren Pingsheng, and kissed him gently on the forehead. Then there was a little bump in her chest, and she kissed him on the cheek again, as if she had done something wrong. , fled in a hurry.

The next day, the sun was very bright, and there was a row of birds on the wall of the town office, chirping, combing their feathers, stretching their heads, and looking very lively. A fat yellow and white cat under the wall looked up at these little birds. A pair of round eyes kept turning on them, as if he was thinking of some bad idea.

"Master Wang, please move to the flower viewing hall first. Let's drink tea first. The tax money has already been prepared and will be weighed by the people below."

Xie Yanwu walked in with a man in gray robes who looked about forty years old.

"Thank you, Mayor, for being so polite."

Tax Officer Wang said politely.

"No, Wu Tuanlian should have done this, but he is out on official business these days, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble."

Xie Yanwu led the tax collector Wang to the flower viewing pavilion.

The flower viewing hall has only three walls, and the wallless side faces a small garden.

The flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely.

At this time, the wintersweet, peonies, rhododendrons, and crabapples in the garden are blooming beautifully, rippling in the wind. The light floral fragrance is refreshing, accompanied by the fragrance of tea in the cup and the faint lingering sound of the beauty's pipa in the distance. It is really a great enjoyment of life!

"Flowers, beauties, music, this kind of fun is really enviable! Mayor Xie enjoys it so much, even the county magistrate can't compare to you!"

Tax collector Wang couldn't help but sigh.

"Wherever, if Mr. Wang likes it, you are welcome to come often!"

Xie Yanwu looked overjoyed when he saw that Tax Collector Wang liked it.

Drink tea and chat.

"Master Wang, have you ever heard of Ningxiangzhai?"

Xie Yanwu suddenly asked.

"Of course, a restaurant has just opened in Chengguan Town recently. It is very popular among the ladies and gentlemen in the city. It has become a trend."

Tax Officer Wang nodded and said.

"This Ningxiang Studio is from the Ren Mansion in Qingcheng Town. The daily income of Ningxiang Studio is a lot of money, and the monthly profit is no less than this amount!"

Xie Yanwu stretched out both hands.

"One hundred taels?"

Tax Officer Wang said in surprise.

"No."

Xie Yanwu shook his head.

"One thousand taels!?"

Tax Officer Wang said in shock.

"good!"

Xie Yanwu nodded: "I think the rich people in Qingcheng Town must be the Ren family. However, although Ningxiangzhai has a lot of income, it relies on the Ren family's considerable power and never pays taxes. Otherwise, the taxes collected by Qingcheng will be nowhere. These?"

"By force?"

A trace of sarcasm appeared on Tax Officer Wang's lips, but he stopped in a flash: "Is he really just an ordinary businessman?"

"Of course, this person is originally a farmer from Liujia Village, and he has moved to Qingcheng Town less than half a year ago. What kind of following can he have?

With just this soap recipe, now with Ningxiangzhai, he bought a farm, set up a caravan, and hired and trained a group of thugs to dominate the town, even the town government and the others didn't look at it. Here, it’s so arrogant!

Yesterday, the town government officials were collecting taxes at the city gate, and they beat them up. They were so lawless! "

Xie Yanwu said angrily.
