Chapter 17 The Collision ()

Seeing the last two days of June, the yamen became busy as Tang Feng said to Tian Jing. Many people who were unwilling to pay the tax bank and found various reasons to delay the payment began to rush to the county government with the silver, which was so busy that the yamen runners had no time to eat and drink water. This made them even more despise the people who were arrogant and respectful at first. Of course, this was because Tang Feng ordered Gao Ming to step up the promotional efforts, and of course this was inseparable from the Wang family's reputation in She County. When ordinary people saw that the Wang family, who instructed them to arrears tax, actually paid the tax bank on their own initiative. The first feeling was that they were deceived by the Wang family, for fear that the county government would come to cause trouble for themselves, but the Wang family stood up and took a shortage of silver to the county government.

Such a fuss not only made Tang Feng's position as a county magistrate more secure, but also weakened the prestige of the Wang family, which Wang Degong never expected when he made this plan.

At this time, Tang Feng, the planner of the whole thing, had a half-day free time to practice martial arts in the back hall. With the last time's statute, Tang Feng handed over the tax collection work to Gao Ming and others for handling, and he himself rested after running errands last time. For a modern person, he knew that he had to combine work and rest. After busy for a while, he had to give himself a few days off so that he could go further. He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to do everything himself, and he would only suffer at that time.

After wiping the air for a long time, he shaking a tree as thick as a bowl, Tang Feng felt that he had found some of the feeling of Guo Jing's first practice of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and laughed proudly. At this time, he looked at him to solve his doubts and spoke: "Young Master, can you be happy like this? This is a long way from the great success of the palm technique."

Tang Feng nodded immediately and said, "I know this. I remember that if this palm technique is to be successful, not only will it have to be sharp, but the tree must also be beaten without shaking so that it can break the tree. I'm right?"

He looked at his young master with some doubts, and after a while, he said, "This is a saying of superior martial arts. I have never mentioned it to the young master. How did you know?"

Tang Feng smiled again: "Of course this is what I see from the book." But he thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the statements in martial arts novels can make sense in real martial arts. They are so amazing." Jiefu was a little unbelievable when he heard this explanation: "Young master reads either classics, history, or official documents, how could he see this?" Tang Feng just smiled and said nothing. Of course he would not tell Jiefu that this was his memory in his previous life.

After practicing for a while, Tang Feng took the cloth handed over to solve the problem and wiped the sweat from his body, and then walked to the second hall to see how Gao Ming and others were busy. When he saw them keeping their accounts and counting silver, Tang Feng finally nodded with satisfaction. He felt that he didn't have to disturb them now, so he called him to understand the problem and went out for a walk with him.

During these days, Tang Feng was either busy with official duties or taxes in the village, or Wang's family, but he rarely went around the county town. Thinking of his own that he was also the county magistrate of this county, and at least he had to understand the local characteristics, Tang Feng wandered around the county town with his understanding.

The hottest season has passed, and it is afternoon, so there are many pedestrians and vendors on the street, either stopping to see the goods or shouting loudly to attract business, which looks lively. Tang Feng was also very happy to see the scene like what he saw when he went to the countryside to go to the market before.

Merchants who went to business have always been suppressed by the Chinese court, and they never took them seriously in history books. But even so, the business in the middle and late Ming Dynasty still had great developments, and even the budding of capitalism appeared. Tang Feng thought that the time he was in was the last stage of his germination, and his joy in his heart was reduced a lot. Because decades later, the backward and barbaric Jurchens would break into the Central Plains, use their butcher knives to conquer the world of the Ming Dynasty and destroy all unsubmissive people and things, of course, including the germination of capitalism. But history still happens after all, and he is just a county magistrate of a county, what role can it play in this? Thinking that he is not able to catch up, Tang Feng showed a wry smile on his face: "I may be another form of worrying for the ancients. What should I do when I come will always come, and I can do so."

After all, they were not old enough to solve the problem. After going on the street, they could no longer control their eyes. They were soon attracted by the sounds of hawking and did not notice Tang Feng's strangeness. In this way, the two of them walked on the streets of She County with completely different ideas and walked westward.

When Tang Feng, who was deeply trapped in his own thoughts, woke up again and found that the two of them had actually arrived in front of Taibai Building, which they had been to before. Looking at the side that they had found something was wrong with him, and looking at the sky gradually getting darker, Tang Feng smiled and found a reason for himself, "I'm thinking, are we going back to the yamen to have dinner, or buy food here nearby."

After resolving the doubts, he felt relieved, and then said, "Young Master, I think we are going to use the meal. The people in the yamen are still busy, and we are a little unreasonable when we go to have a meal." Tang Feng smiled and said, "What you said is reasonable, then you and I will use the meal in this Taibai Building today." As he said that, he walked into the building first, and followed him after solving the doubts.

When the two walked into Taibai Building, a waiter immediately came up to greet him. The waiter recognized Tang Feng and wanted to salute him when he saw him, but was stopped by him: "This is not a yamen, I am just an ordinary diner, why bother so much?"

"That... young master, is it going to the back building to have a meal? It's more pure and elegant." The waiter quickly changed his mouth and asked.

"No, I can just use some food on the second floor, so there is no need to be such a trouble." Tang Feng said and asked the waiter to lead the way. Seeing that the county master was so easy to talk, the waiter hurriedly stepped forward and led him to a good location by the window on the second floor. Tang Feng looked at the environment here carefully. Although it was not as elegant as the building behind, it was not as vulgar as it was. So he nodded with satisfaction and said to the waiter: "Just watch a few dishes for us, we just use some random things." The waiter quickly agreed and left.

After a while, a few exquisite side dishes were served, and there was a pot of wine. Tang Feng gave some rewards and asked the waiter to step down. After eating the wine for a while, Tang Feng heard someone around him mention his identity: "You said that our current county magistrate is really capable. He actually asked the Wang family to pay the tax silver in a few seconds. Why is he so capable when he was an official who had only been to She County for a few days?" Hearing the tone of this person, Tang Feng knew that he was a little drunk. When he heard someone talking about him, Tang Feng kept his mind and listened to his statement among the people.

At this time, another voice said, "Brother Wu, you don't know. In my opinion, it must be someone above us, Tang County, so even the Wang family cannot help but give him face. Thinking about the Wang family, it has been a king in our She County for more than a day or two, but we have seen which county magistrate they gave such a great face. So I said he must have a backstage."

"I think so after hearing what you said. Think about it, my brother said that he just listened to the Wang family and told him not to pay the tax bank, so he insisted on it. Unexpectedly, the Wang family actually sent the tax bank to the county government a few days ago. Do you think this is destroying his own station? If it weren't for the backstage of the County Magistrate Tang, would they be so stupid?"

"Shh, whisper, if the people from the Wang family hear you speak loudly here, you may be more beautiful." The second voice hurriedly stopped him from continuing, obviously this person was not drunk enough to get drunk. When he heard him frightened, the "Brother Wu" didn't sound. After laughing a few times, the only sound of drinking and eating food was left.

Tang Feng's eyes lit up after hearing this conversation. From their words, he had already heard that the people had shaken the power of the Wang family, which was a good thing for him. Because Tang Feng knew that after this incident, the Wang family and his own ties became bigger and bigger, and one day the two sides would confront each other again. If the people were still standing completely on the Wang family, it would not be great for him. But now it seems that the situation has changed, which made Tang Feng feel that it would be better than collecting all the taxes and silver.

After being happy, Tang Feng drank a few more drinks. When he learned to make money and walked out of the restaurant, he felt that the person was already a little floating. Walking on the street where there were few people, Tang Feng looked around and wanted to sing a few songs several times to express his happiness, but he suppressed it with a trace of reason. He knew his identity, and the songs he sang must be a popular song that he had heard well at that time, and he felt that he would rather bear it.

With the help of solving the problem, Tang Fengshen walked forward with a shallow and slowly stopped looking at the road. If it weren't for the solution, he would have hit the wall or a tree. But his staggering steps were not something that the young man could control. Although he had martial arts, he could not use strength to his son.

When he arrived at the door of a silk shop, Tang Feng hit a man's head. It felt soft and a sweet fragrance smelled at the end of his nose, which made Tang Feng, who was already drunk, very helpful. However, this frivolous behavior caused a scream: "Ah!" He hurriedly helped Tang Feng up from the man with great force. Tang Feng looked drunk and saw an exquisite face, both in his mouth, nose and eyes, which looked so beautiful. At this time, the owner of this face looked at the drunk "Dengtuzi" like a timid deer, and his face turned red.

At the same time, everyone around him surrounded him and surrounded the three of them at the door of the silk shop...
