The official one-day holiday was given, but Wu Huaiyu gave Sanyuan County three days' holiday and only arranged for a few people to be on duty in shifts.

Slaughtering will not be allowed for the next three days tomorrow, so today the county government will buy pigs and sheep in advance to slaughter the meat and share the welfare.

Liu Rengui's hometown was Weishi in Henan, and Zhao Renben's hometown was in Hebei. They could not return home to worship their ancestors. Of course, as local officials, they were not allowed to leave the jurisdiction without official duties. They even wanted to go back to Chang'an to be with their wives and children.

Huaiyu invited them to Wu's house to celebrate the Ghost Festival, and he wanted to join in the fun.

In the afternoon, the officials began to leave the office one after another, and everyone returned home laden with horses, carts, or shoulders.

What is rare is that the people outside the county government are not very dissatisfied with this situation.

Of course, Huaiyu and several other officials also received a lot of money, food, fish and meat. Although there was no shortage, they would not take it if you didn't take it. The superiors would not take it, and it was not easy for the subordinates to take it.

Anyway, these are public welfare, and it is not a bribe to share the dirty work, but they don't need to take it themselves, they have their own servants to send the things back.

In the evening, the sun goes down and the streets become cooler.

Liu Rengui looked at the bustling Longqiao streets and said, "Our next step is to start taxing merchants and craftsmen, right?"

According to the Two Taxes Law, even if a businessman has no land, he still has to collect taxes. Thirty to one tax. Whether he is doing business locally or doing business in other places, he will be taxed when he comes to do business locally.

However, how to levy the tax specifically needs to be discussed in detail and a practical plan must be worked out.

"Recently, some merchants in Longqiao are running around secretly. They are very dishonest and want to cause trouble." Liu Rengui said to Huaiyu. There was murderous intent in his words. This member Liu has always been ruthless.

Wu Huaiyu, however, walked around and took a look. The pedestrians were very interested in the street shops, "Let them dance. We killed a member of the Li family and collected more than 50,000 stone grains at once.

Wouldn't it be great if another shopkeeper named Hou Dong's family pops up at this time?"
