"What the officials said is such a big joke! I, Tong Qilang, opened a cellar and burned porcelain in Heyin County. It has been more than seven years since today. Everyone in the county knows it, but they have not hidden it. Only today do I say that I have taxes and have not paid it! There are so many officials and officials in the county, and no one has ever told me. This matter is out of the blue and it has nothing to do with me!"

In a side hall in the Sanhuang Temple, Tong Qilang, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Li Shen's words and screamed at first. Seeing that Li Shen was unmoved, he suddenly became furious and roared so hard that even the blue veins on his forehead burst out.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the two big sticks quickly put on Tong Qilang's shoulder and crossed him tightly to the ground.

Li Shen coughed and said in a deep voice: "If the taxes are required to be paid by officials, who will pay them wages for the extra staff? There are official documents at the intersection and terminals. Which items need to be paid for taxes, and how much you pay is clearly listed. If you are lucky, who can you rely on?"

Tong Qilang sneered: "The officials said this so hard that they could not help themselves. In this small Heyin county, there are two tax collectors on the edge of the Yellow River. Sometimes even Mengzhou has tax collectors to Heyin. Why did they say that no one came to collect taxes when they arrived here? It was obvious that they had made a clever name and wanted to seize my property!"

"You unruly gangster, you are a mess!" Sun Biao, the Mengzhou director, who was sitting on the case next to him, slapped the table, "The people who stopped the heads collect taxes, and of course they collect them on the Yellow River Cao Road. You are a businessman, who will receive them from you?"

Sun Biao had a black face, and his face was much more vicious than Li Shen. After receiving the news about Li Shen, he rushed to Heyin County with his men, and just as Li Shen raised taxes from Tong Qilang.

Such a big thing happened, Sun Biao was even more nervous than Li Shen, a record officer who was in charge of civil affairs. He heard that Tong Qilang, who was in trouble, had to use tax recovery method, and he agreed with one hundred people. These troublemakers caused such a big trouble to the state, so they should not be let go of by the government. Tax recovery is the responsibility of them, and it is hard for others to say anything, which is just for the purpose of dealing with these people who are in trouble.

Tong Qilang looked at Sun Biao and knew that he was a ruthless person. His voice unconsciously lowered: "Whether it is a business or business business, it is the duty of officials to come to collect taxes. If I don't go to my door, I naturally have no taxes to pay."

Sun Biao snorted coldly: "How does the government do things? You still want you, a troublemaker, to teach me? According to what you say, every summer and autumn taxes, if the government cannot urge you, you can stop paying it? If you open a cellar and make porcelain, you will pay taxes on time. If you don't report to the government yourself, who knows how much tax you should pay? Now that something happens, you will naturally start from scratch!"

After saying that, Sun Biao stared at Tong Qilang with bright eyes again, as if a hungry tiger was looking at the fat sheep.

Seeing that although Tong Qilang was still stammering his neck and looked dissatisfied, he stopped talking, Li Shen ordered someone to take him down. He just told him about this, and he didn't have to ask him to agree before going to check the tax. Sun Biao naturally brought the public officials to do this. As for the case of gambling, he still had to wait for the manager to join the army to retrieve the trial.

Seeing Tong Qilang being taken out, Sun Biao bowed to Li Shen and said, "I didn't expect that such a major case occurred in Heyin County. It was all the humble officials who were not well-careed and were sentenced to forgive the crime!"

Li Shen sighed: "Forget it, the case will be waited for Manager Cheng to retrial. What we have to do now is to think about how to deal with the aftermath in Heyin County. In the small county of Heyin, there is only one household in Jiang Dayou in the county. Most of the good land is owned by his family. Now he has arrested him, and the whole family has committed the crime. What should the land for renting out? How should the summer and autumn taxes be collected in the county in the future are all difficult things. Although Tong Qilang is a customer, he hires a lot of people. He committed the case, especially the cellar entrances after tax collection, and the livelihood of the hiring workers must come up with a charter."

Sun Biao hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister, shouldn't Yao Zeguang bother with these things?"

"Hmph, Yao Zeguang, he used to be scammers and tricks, and he was sitting on the verge of these two companies to control the affairs of a county. How could he not hold him accountable? I have already transferred the document to the Transportation Office. Don't he care about the matters in the county for now. You should worry about these days."

Sun Biao bowed and agreed: "The magistrate told me that I will do my best!"

Mengzhou has an important position. Sun Biao was appointed as the military officer of the Taichang Temple of the Beijing official, Taizhu, and the official position should be the military officer of the Mengzhou official. Correspondingly, his status is higher than that of the military officer of the Changzhou official. When facing Li Shen, he has relatively some autonomy, and the two are not as strict when they talk together.

Li Shen sighed: "The most troublesome thing now is that all male members of Jiang Dayou were arrested and were arrested in prison. His tenants were watching. I don't know what the land to rent in the future would be said. The weather did not wait for anyone. If the autumn grain planting season was delayed, the autumn grain would become a bubble again. The summer grain in Heyin County has been affected by disaster, and it will be a waste for another season. Alas—"

"Previously, didn't the judge issue a Qingmiao loan here in Heyin and give another season of autumn grain? No matter what the Jiang family plans, just post the list and let the people in the county farm according to the rules of previous years. Let's talk about the affairs of the Jiang family later."

"You don't know. Xu Waijian told me a few days ago that Qingmiao loans cannot be released. If the summer grain cannot be collected in one quarter, we will put our principal and interest on autumn grain. What should we do if the autumn grain is affected again? Should Qingmiao loans cannot be released? Is it better to find a way to collect some seeds from other places and issue them according to the disaster year practice."

After hearing this, Sun Biao felt a little embarrassed: "Prime Minister, do you know the situation of each treasury in the state. Where can I pay for the seeds? Although the number is not large, there is no place to embezzle it!"

"Besides, let's talk about it, I'll find a way."

Mengzhou is different from other places. Li Di is here in front of the prefecture. The money in the minister's treasury is the welfare of the court to give them these ministers. No matter how difficult it is, it cannot be shortened. This big item cannot be moved, and the various uses in the state are too short. When it comes to money, Li Shen feels too much.

If it was normal, the government could not turn over the turnover and still borrowed from local big households, but they had no choice but to agree. There were also things that would anger the local officials and borrow and not repay them. However, in this ghost place in Heyin County, Jiang Dayou's family was in the household and a wealthy Tong Qilang, all of them were imprisoned. They had no place to raise money if they wanted to raise money.

Sun Biao whispered: "Prime Minister, if there is really no place to turn around, it is better to deduct the property of Jiang Dayou and Tong Qilang first, just use it first and keep the accounts in mind. Anyway, their family wants to pursue taxes and the family has no gambling funds. A lot of the property in the family is already considered to be in the government. What's the harm in using it first?"

Li Chan stood up and thought for a while and said, "No, it would be fine if we just do things. Now Xu Wai-chan lives in this yard. Who knows what he would think? Although Xu Wai-chan is good at speaking these days, he is a minister in the court. Once he has an idea about what we do, then-"

Speaking of this, Li Shen shook his head: "Let's find another way. In the past two days, you can learn about the matter in Heyin County first. When Manager Cheng comes, he will pay more attention to the case. I will find a way to deal with the aftermath of the county."

In the evening, Xu Ping took Lu Fang and others back to the Sanhuang Temple, cleaned his hands under the ginkgo tree, and Liu Xiaoyi brought the tea and said to Xu Ping: "Marquis of the County, someone from the family came here during the day, saying that Li Guojiu would go to Yuanwu County next to him in two days. There was close to us, so I had time to go over and take a look."

Xu Pingqi said: "What do you do when you suddenly go to Yuanwu County? It is even more remote than Heyin County."

"I heard that Li Guojiu was appointed as the deputy envoy of the group pastor a few days ago. He went to the former martial arts prison there to monitor the breeding of good horses. The young man couldn't explain it clearly, and his family just sent a message to say this."

"Oh, I understand, it's still for that."

The scope of the original martial arts prison is almost at Heyin County. It is very close to Xu Ping naturally knows. Li Yonghe was appointed as the deputy envoy of the group herder a few days ago. He already knew from the official newspaper that when he arrived at the original martial arts prison, he was naturally still to artificial insemination of horses. The reason why he chose the original martial arts prison was that this was the breeding prison closest to the capital, and the other was probably related to Xu Ping's current Heyin County. Li Yonghe was afraid that he was unsure of the matter and needed to ask Xu Ping frequently.

Sitting on the chair under the tree, Xu Ping took a sip of tea and asked Liu Xiaoyi: "Is there anything else?"

"There is a letter from Zhao Magistrate of Ruzhou. I have already put it in the county marquis' room, and everything else is fine."

Zhao Xu had been serving as the governor of Ruzhou for some time and had letters with Xu Ping. When he arrived in Heyin County, Xu Ping also sent him a letter to talk about his recent situation and had a reply after these days.

After reporting, Liu Xiaoyi went to work on his own, and Xu Ping sat alone in the chair to rest.

After a while, when he heard the sound of footsteps, Xu Ping opened his eyes and saw Li Shen coming.

Li Shen bowed to Xu Ping and bowed: "The officials have seen the waiting system, and this day is hard."

"No need to be polite. It's not hard to explore the river, just run more roads. In just ten days, my investigation range will pass through Guangwu Mountain and reach the territory of Jinshui County. In Heyin, I can't live for many days."

"After passing Guangwu Mountain, there will be no obstacles. Congratulations to you, the best of your contributions!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "I have accepted your good words. I have lived here these days, which has caused you a lot of trouble. I will leave you and give you peace of mind, so you can do things with peace of mind."

"What is this to be said when you are in charge? You have taught the officials here and I have benefited a lot!"

Xu Ping smiled and stopped saying these polite words. He himself was an official in the local area. He knew that he would be the master of his words. Suddenly, someone was pressing on his head and felt uncomfortable. Naturally, he hoped to leave faster, the better.

This is human nature, and Xu Ping is not as pretentious as ever. To be honest, he has indeed caused a lot of trouble for this place in Heyin County, and the changes he caused can be said to be a complete change.

(I had an urgent matter yesterday, so I didn’t have a chapter update. I tried to make up for it these days, thank you.)
