Chapter 134
"Come on, I don't even have a salary, so I will pay it all. Public is the public, and private is the private. Whether I can live a life of spending money in the future depends on this business." Although Sun Yu is in the fourth rank, holds two positions, and has the title of Count. However, since he took office, he has never received a penny of salary, and Xu Yi makes arrangements in advance every time he goes out.
"Sir, can you bring your subordinates with me when you spend money like soil?" Xu Yi picked up the wine bottle and put it on Sun Yu. Looking at the development speed of Jianzhou Commercial Bank, Sun Yu was probably not far from the day when he spent money like soil.
"In Jianpu's current situation, how are you going to spend money like soil? Should you go to the bun shop in the east of the city or the bathhouse in the south of the city?" Sun Yu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Jianzhou is just starting out, and it is obviously insufficient in consumption capacity. Everyone is working hard to make money. There is no high-end consumption place, and basically revolves around the daily needs of soldiers. It can be said that they have money but no place to spend it.
"Sir, you don't know. Someone came to find me two days ago and planned to open a brothel. My subordinates are thinking about it." There are so many young men in Jianzhou Army, and most of them are alone here. There must be a lot of demand in this regard. Someone has already had this idea, but Xu Yi has not criticized him for fear of affecting the military discipline of Jianzhou Army. There are also many secret prostitutes in Jianpu City. Xu Yi turned a blind eye and pretended not to see him as long as he was not angry.
"Brighouse?" Sun Yu looked surprised. There was nothing wrong with such high-end places here, and they were all big-headed soldiers. The brothel had to do business with aristocratic families and scholars.
"Elegant title, just elegant title." Xu Yi picked up the wine glass and slapped it lightly. It was hard to say the word "brother".
"It is better to lose it than to block it, but there is a bottom line. You must never force a good person to become a prostitute. In addition, strengthen management, collect heavy taxes, and serve as military supplies." Sun Yu originally intended to not open up these messy things, but as long as there is a demand, there will always be someone who will take risks. It is better to relax competition and manage in a unified manner, and the government can also earn an extra income.
"I understand. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not be able to cause trouble." Since Sun Yu nodded, he was relieved. As for how to manage it, he naturally had his own way.
Xu Yi felt that he was a little drunk today and was drunk. He was so drunk that he had to take a nap before he could continue working.
Sun Yu chatted with Xu Yi again, from various villages in Jianzhou to the place of Zhangquan, and from classical poetry to natural science. This academic master is different. He actually thought through the natural science he had left in the state to study. It was really incredible.
"See sir!"
"See the young master!"
Zhang Daqiu and Yang Qifeng came together. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Xu Yi lying on the table and asleep. Sun Yu was sitting there slowly tasting pastries.
"Please help the sir to the couch first, as it will catch a colder time." As soon as Sun Yu saw these two people coming in, he knew that the matter was sent out to various townships to investigate the situation was a result.
After Xu Yi was settled, Sun Yu led the two of them to the main hall of the governor's yamen. This was where Sun Yu worked, but it was usually empty.
"Tell me, what's the situation?" Sun Yu sat down in the main seat.
"Sir, a total of 52 pairs of people were sent to this trip, and each township had covered it. This is a report submitted by each person." Yang Qifeng picked up a stack of paper and handed it to Sun Yu, which recorded in detail what he saw and heard in each township.
"Tell me about the situation first, and then look at it later." Sun Yu was also a little drunk. He felt uncomfortable looking at the dense words, and read it later.
After this investigation, there were five serious problems in the 52 townships in Jianzhou, namely Fusha County, Youxi County, and Sha County, and Shunchang County. The problems in these five townships are different. Among them, Fusha’s two are taxed and put into their own pockets, while the other three are serious greed for the funds for the construction of water conservancy.
The money and grain allocated by each county are provided according to three meals a day, and the dry food is provided by the fullness of dry food. These three townships bring their own dry food and do not provide any food at all. There are also more than ten townships, and the greed situation is milder. Some provide two meals, some are not enough, and some are not enough. The ones that are truly done completely according to the requirements of the county are less than half, and most of them are based on towns near the county town.
Fortunately, all counties attach great importance to the registration of land household registration, but this matter has been implemented and no one has taken action on this matter.
"Young Master, what will we do next?" Zhang Daqiu hated these borers to death. This Jianzhou was a territory that his own young master finally took down. How could he tolerate these people destroying it?
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!" Sun Yu said with murderous aura. Why is Shunchang County the least problem? It is because he established his power in front of the camp leaders as soon as he went there. Fusha and Youxi counties basically have not experienced the war. Many people still think that they can be bullied at a young age. Since that is the case, then use them to establish their power.
"Tomorrow you two will come with me and take the brothers from these five villages with you. We must convince others with reason." Sun Yu wants to establish his authority. Those greedy villages will let them go this time. I believe that after establishing their authority, those people should be honest.
Zhou Yuanwai, the inner-level director of Huatian Township, Fusha County, has been particularly comfortable these two days. The tax grain collected was sold to Jianzhou Commercial Bank and received several thousand taels of silver. The five families were divided, and the Zhou family, as the leader, received 1,800 taels of money, which was much faster than before when the showdown was conducted and the big and small pounds of money were collected when the tax grain was collected.
"Master, how long has it been since I bought jewelry and clothes? I want to buy it." Zhou Yuanwai's newly acquired fourth concubine last year was sitting on his lap and acting coquettishly, holding Zhou Yuanwai's neck with both hands and shaking it.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the city to buy tomorrow. OK, you're such a slutty little fairy." Zhou Yuanwai slapped her thigh and took this concubine. Zhou Yuanwai felt that she had been emitting a second spring again. She was so energetic that she was so spoiled.
I just got so much money, and spending some money was nothing. Fusha County was not expensive, so it was enough to spend dozens of taels. When the concubine heard this, she was so happy that she quickly got up and pinched her shoulders for Mr. Zhou.
"Master, what business is outside?" The concubine heard the rushing horse hooves outside, shook Zhou Yuanwai, who was about to fall asleep, and asked. Even horses are rare to see here, so naturally I have never heard of the sound of horses from the cavalry before.
"What's the fuss? Just the sound of horse hooves. Let me take a look for a while." On this cold day, only those poor people who can't get rid of the pot are willing to work. Zhou Yuanwai only drinks tea every day and basks in the sun in the yard, which is very comfortable.
"No." The sound of horse hooves outside was getting closer and closer, and there were many horses, as if they were coming towards their own home. Zhou Yuanwai got up from the recliner and knocked the gate of the courtyard.
Open and look outward.
"Hide quickly!" Zhou Yuanwai opened the door and saw a team of armor and black cavalry were coming towards him, and the arrival was not good. Zhou Yuanwai didn't expect that it was his own crime. He thought it was a bandit again and prepared for the family to hide in the cellar to avoid it.
The originally peaceful yard suddenly jumped up. Zhou Yuanwai grabbed the concubine and ran away. He quickly slipped to the backyard and had to hide his son first.
The cavalry that came was Sun Yu and his party. Sun Yu brought a battalion of cavalry, more than 100 cavalry, and the leader was Gao Huichang. After arriving in Huatian Township, the troops were divided into five groups, Zhang Daqiu, Yang Qifeng, Gao Huichang, Du Rushi and Sun Yu divided into five groups, heading straight to the homes of the five mileage leaders, without giving them a chance to escape.
"Qin Li, you can block the front and back doors for me. No chicken is allowed to be released. Everyone else will come in." Sun Yu directly dismounted, kicked open the door, and rushed in with more than a dozen people.
"Search!" Sun Yu glanced at it and there was no one inside. There was still tea cup in the yard. When he touched it with his hands, there was still heat, which meant that there was still someone just now and must have been hiding.
The cavalrymen pulled out their long swords and searched carefully throughout the house, not letting go of every corner.
"Sir, here." A shout came from the backyard. Sun Yu held the Tianshu Sword and ran quickly back.
There was a large cellar hidden under the haystack in the backyard. If it weren't for the time being too tight and it would be difficult to find it. There were eight people in the cellar, except for Mr. Zhou and his four women, a boy probably had a son, and two daughters, who were trembling with each other in the cavalry's long sword.
"Everything comes out, Zhou Yuanwai, this official, Jianzhou Governor Sun Yu, you should know what I'm going to do with you." Sun Yu looked at Zhou Yuanwai with a bear-like face and couldn't help but say, when you collect taxes without authorization, you should think of this day.
"It turns out it's Lord Sun. The student didn't know Mount Tai and thought it was a bandit." Zhou Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed out of the cellar. He had a scholar's reputation and claimed that he was not wrong with the students, but he was too old.
"Everyone is coming out, the distinguished guest comes to the door, hurry up and go to cook." After Zhou Yuanwai came up, he shouted to his wife and children below. Qianli was an official only for wealth. At worst, he could give the money he received to this adult. Wouldn't it be fine, and he might even be able to climb to the high branches of the governor's mansion.
"There is no need to be cooked. Mr. Zhou, you have joined hands with the other four rural chiefs, the fish and meat village, to collect taxes without authorization. Do you know that you are guilty?" Sun Yu suddenly felt that this person was really big. I came to arrest people in person, but he was still thinking about cooking.
"Mr. Sun, this fish countryside is definitely not afraid of taxes. The students also thought that the Jianzhou Army had suffered heavy casualties in order to pacify the place. If there were no Jianzhou Army, how could there be a stable life today? Therefore, they thought that each family would give some thoughts and send the Jianzhou Army to reward the army. This is a matter of course." Zhou Yuanwai's eyes turned, and he had studied. After all, he immediately found a decent reason to think that the other party would fall and take away the benefits. Even if this matter was fooled.
