Wang Anshi looked at the shop owner, and after a while, he asked slowly: "Master, do you have any hidden secrets?"

The owner bowed and said, "Shangguan, the small ones don't know that there is a regulation to pay 30% first, and pay the remaining years. Another thing is that this small shop has some interest in the past few years, and since this year, the money will not be enough to pay the government's capital. In the past few months, small household property will be subsidized, otherwise they will inevitably be beaten by the board every month. The store price is calculated based on the time when they made money in the past few years, and buying it will inevitably lead to losses. The small household property will be completely discounted here."

Tan Jiejie on the side changed color and said, "What are you talking nonsense about? The county government announced the list and knew it everywhere. You don't have to pay it all at once to buy an official store. How dare you say you don't know? The magistrate spoke carefully in front of the county magistrate!"

Wang Anshi looked at Tan Jie Li coldly, sat down at the original table, and said to the owner: "Come the account books for the past three months, I will match you. By the way, I will also bring them together last year and the two years ago."

The owner of the store responded to his order and hurriedly ran to the back. The official store must remember the accounts clearly, otherwise the public officials would lose many property. The store has kept the accounts for the past three years.

Tan Jiejie, who was on the other hand, said to Wang Anshi: "Sir, it's raining outside, so it's better to go to the dock first."

"You took two officials there and guarded them there! Whenever something happened, come back and report immediately!" Wang Anshi pointed to the rest of the people, "You follow me here, and then go to the nearby farmland to take a look."

After saying that, Wang Anshi waved his hands repeatedly: "Go quickly, go quickly! If the matter is misleading, the county will definitely punish it severely!"

Tan Jiewei had no choice but to take two public officials to the pier.

In most cases, the public officials and officials deceive superiors and subordinates, the Shangguan turns a blind eye, and not many people are really blinded. Some people are lazy because of their laziness, while others are less than less. More people are in love with the people below, colluding with them to seek personal gain. They are really hidden by the lower class because of their stupidity. That is really one in a hundred. As long as they are willing to walk down and listen to the voices of the lower class, it is almost impossible for the upper class to be hidden.

People like Wang Anshi can be so hiding the tricks of county officials. How could they hide it from him? But he has to grasp the overall situation and as long as he ensures that the general direction is not biased, even if the people below do some tricks, he is too lazy to pay attention to it.

Officials have feudalism, which refers to the grassroots public officials. Most of them come from those families, and many of them have passed on them for generations to earn this bowl of rice. If they take their jobs, the political affairs of a county may be abandoned. It is said that it is difficult for county officials to do it because they have to find a balance between the court's government orders and the public officials below. Most people cannot find this balance.

If you look at the officials, you will know that the officials below do evil. Either the officials above are birds of a feather, or they are weak and incompetent. Wang Anshi could allow the public officials in the county to gain some benefits for himself on the basis of ensuring the implementation of the government orders. In order to benefit himself, he would not be allowed to ignore the government orders.

The shop owner took the account book and Wang Anshi put it on the table to carefully check it. Since Luo entered Bian, the smooth shipping has brought about the prosperity of surrounding businesses. The business in the store was very good in the past two years. Since a few months ago, the industrial and commercial reforms of Jingxi Road began, the industries of counties and towns have concentrated in the prefectures, and the industries of towns and towns have concentrated in the county towns. The business of this store has obviously been ineffective. The profit in recent months is far lower than the previous ancestral amount, and the shop owner is filling the hole with his own net worth.

After closing the account book, Wang Anshi closed his eyes and thought for a while. There was a loss, and it was impossible to ask the owner to go to the county government to request the modification of the ancestral quota. It was reasonable for the owner, but it was not feasible for the world. Once this opening was opened, the public officials who handled the matter would do it unscrupulously, and the officials could no longer collect money.

It is destined to give up this money. If you encounter such a thing, you can only be considered unlucky by the owner. However, the ancestral amount cannot be changed. The price of selling the industry to the private sector cannot be based on the original ancestral rating. This small store does not pay the official money, but it still makes a profit. The reason why it cannot be sold is because the price is unreasonable.

Wang Anshi asked the owner: "Owner, according to the market price, how much should this small store sell to be reasonable?"

The owner of the shop said: "After going back to Shangguan, according to the old man's estimate, the store is extremely difficult to calculate 120 guan. If it is done well, there is some interest. Now the county price is 230 guan, which is impossible to make money anyway."

Wang Anshi nodded. Now the net profit of the store is about 70 to 8 guan per month, less than 100 guan a year, and it is only worth this money if it is not considered real estate. The owner of the store still said to Gao that real private transactions cannot be sold at this price.

The main taxes of the Song Dynasty were property taxes, and houses were taxed, and the price of private transactions was not high. This small shop, even the houses on the ground, could only be sold for fifty cents. To sum up the miscellaneous things, the county set a price of 230 cents, and it would not be possible to sell unless it was forcibly distributed. What's more, the county's pricing did not include land prices and housing prices, but was just rent-free.

Wang Anshi was not active in the industrial and commercial reform of Jingxi Road, but was just passively implemented and did not spend any effort on it. In his opinion, agriculture was much more important. Since he arrived in Gong County, most of his energy was spent on agriculture. He focused on the big and small business of the official business. He did not take care of it after he arranged it. He only knew that all the people in the county had been sold, and the people in the countryside were dead and no one bought it. The public officials suggested that by the end of the year, all the supervisors would be allowed to buy them with their property, and Wang Anshi did not express his objection.

I don’t object because Wang Anshi thought the price was set a little higher, but the buyer had to make money. As the saying goes, all businessmen would not be traitorous. These merchants definitely felt that the countryside industries were not easy to sell and wanted to delay the price. Is the money of the official family so easy to make? The more this happens, the price cannot be reduced. When the deadline comes, it is forced to buy all the rich.

By chance today, I happened to arrive at this store. Once the account was checked, I was different from what I thought before. When I knew that the price here was high, I knew that the prices in the restaurants in the county were low. The principle was the same.

Those who take profitable industries, accept bribes, or let relatives buy them; those who are not easy to sell are left here and ignore them, and then force the wealthy rural households to buy them after the deadline. These public officials have committed a big taboo. They have the benefits, but they have pushed the public grievances to the court. Even the magistrate, as their magistrate, are afraid that they will be implicated in these matters, and the people's voices are not good.

Wang Anshi sneered in his heart and said to the shop owner: "Master, are you now serving in front of the yamen?"

The shop owner smiled bitterly: "It was the young man who was sent to be the supervisor here in front of the yamen. Apart from this battle, the young man's property was almost defeated. After decades of hard work, the yamen was completely gone."

Wang Anshi said: "The list will be revealed tomorrow. This store and the house will be sold at 130 cents."

The owner of the shop was surprised: "Shangguan is so determined, this shop will be sold easily."

Wang Anshi smiled: "What, do you intend to buy it?"

The owner shook his head: "Since this year, the small property has been lost a lot. It's not a big deal to be a supervisor here and I won't buy it anymore. I will not buy it. I will go back to the village to rectify the farming business and accumulate some industries for my descendants."

Wang Anshi said: "Your service period is still one and a half years. After the announcement of the list tomorrow, I will go to the county government. I have something else to arrange for you!"

The shop owner bowed his hand and felt uneasy, not knowing what Wang Anshi would arrange for him to do.
