"It turns out that you are all liars. Why did this promised imperial street turn into a vegetable market?"
"You pay for our shack."
"The patrol police are obviously a bunch of liars."
As soon as the citizens heard that the Royal Street was being replaced with a vegetable market, they immediately became angry. This was like exchanging a bloody BMW for a donkey. Such a reduction could only be described as inhumane.
pit!
This is really a sinkhole!
Coupled with the rumors outside, the residents of Zhouqiao suddenly felt that they had been deceived.
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!"
Zhang Fei raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me. I never said that I won't let you go to Yu Street to do business. I just want to check what you sell. Take the cooking cakes as an example. If your craftsmanship is good,
Very good, the cakes are very delicious, I will definitely let you go to Yu Street to do business.
But if it doesn’t have any special features and isn’t very delicious, even if you go to the Imperial Street, you won’t be able to do business.”
"We don't care about this. What you promised at the beginning was to control the streets, so you have to give us the control of the streets."
"That's right! It's because you said that the government cares about us, so it opened the Royal Street for us to do business. Why is it now a vegetable market?"
No matter how Zhang Fei explained it, the residents were still dissatisfied and furious, and they kept pressing on Zhang Fei step by step.
And there were a few people standing not far away, they were Gu Ji, Shen Huaixiao, Cao Han and others.
This time they rushed to the scene and were not caught off guard by Zhang Fei again.
The reason is that Zhang Fei did not quietly use the Divine Guards this time. There was no shortage of their people in the police station, and they got the news quickly.
The scene in front of them was just as they expected. This replacement was completely impossible. They never expected that Zhang Fei would create a vegetable market and treat people like fools.
Everything is easy to destroy but difficult to build.
Everyone knows how to demolish stilts, and everyone knows how to collect taxes, but how to resettle these people and how to make them have money to pay taxes is a big problem.
This step in the mission is the most difficult part.
"Just say that boy is a liar. Yujie is only as big as it is. Even if it is fully occupied, it won't be enough."
"I'll see how that boy ends up this time."
"We'll find more people to make trouble later. It's best to give that brat a good beating. I'm willing to pay any amount of money. If the cause is bigger, I'll definitely make this kid die badly."
Gu Ji gritted his teeth and said.
Just as they were gloating over their misfortune, they suddenly saw a crowd suddenly rushing towards Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was heard exclaiming again, "Ouch! What are you doing? Stop crowding!"
"The fight started." Li Zhan said excitedly.
Gu Ji excitedly waved his fists, "Hit me hard and beat that brat to death."
However, the crowd who rushed forward did not wave their fists. Instead, they raised their right hands and said, "I'll come! Let me come! I'm more diligent."
"I came first, recruit me! Recruit me!"
“My wife’s craftsmanship is good!”
what's the situation?
You guys, hit him! Hit him instead!
What are you yelling about?
Gu Ji and the others looked confused, what on earth were they doing?
The next scene made them even more stunned.
I saw that the people who had been angry just now suddenly formed a long queue in front of the long table next to them.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was sitting aside drinking tea and soothing his throat.
this..
The same scene also happened in the residential area east of Guanyin Temple.
"Is it true? You can get two dollars a month?"
A middle-aged man asked excitedly.
The patrolman in charge of the registration said: "You will have to sign a contract at that time. Can I cheat you? Twenty-four pieces a year, six days off and one day off. Moreover, the feces you earn can also be sold for money. We have calculated it.
If you work hard, you can earn at least twenty-six or seven thousand dollars every year."
As he spoke, he clapped his hand to the side and said, "Look, this is the contract template."
The middle-aged man looked aside and said, "I can't read."
Suddenly I saw an old gentleman next to me looking at the template, and I couldn't help but ask: "Old sir, do you recognize it?"
The old gentleman smiled and nodded: "It's exactly what he said just now."
The patrolman was extremely busy and didn't care about this. He shouted to the team: "I'm responsible for cleaning the streets here. Those who want to wear police uniforms take their own mended clothes and go next door. The pay here is not high, and we can also
If you are tired, those who have a job should not come to join in the fun and leave it to those people who have no livelihood for the time being."
The old gentleman asked the patrolman again: "Although the money is not much, it will cost a lot to recruit so many people!"
The patrol officer replied perfunctorily: "We are only responsible for executing orders, and the rest is not our responsibility. Get in line! Don't squeeze. This job is not first-come, first-served. We will make a decision based on your situation."
When the old gentleman saw this, he didn't bother him anymore. He walked slowly towards the big willow tree on the street with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth as if he was calculating something.
There was an old man standing under the willow tree, it was Mr. Lu, and this old man was naturally Sima Guang.
Seeing Sima Guang coming, Lu Gongzhu asked: "How is it?"
Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "I can't figure it out at this moment, but they have to build so many vegetable markets and make new police uniforms for the police. In addition, they have to hire people to do all the cleaning work.
If you add all these things together, you will have to spend all your money and there will be nothing left."
Lu Gongzhu smiled and said: "Before, we thought Zhang San had some clever tricks that could appease these people. In the end, it's all about money!"
Sima Guang sighed with a smile: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The people are not stupid. If they don't come up with real money, who will believe them."
Of course they were aware of this replacement problem, and they were also curious about what clever plan Zhang Fei would come up with to solve this problem. They didn't think about it, so they just used money to appease him.
Lu Gongzhu suddenly frowned and said: "Actually, what Zhang San did is very similar to Wang Jiefu's idea of yamengong. They both planned to collect taxes from the rich and then hire the poor to work. Now that Zhang San can achieve such success, Maybe Wang Jiefu can also succeed."
Now he still stands in the middle, because both Sima Junshi and Wang Jiefu are his good friends, and he still hopes that they will not be so tit-for-tat.
"no the same!"
Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "The two are not the same thing at all. If Wang Jiefu can be like Zhang San, then I will not oppose him."
Lu Gongzhu asked: "How do you say this?"
Sima Guang said: "Zhang San's goal is to learn the law, while Wang Jiefu's ultimate goal is to make money. The two cannot be confused."
Lu Gongzhu said sarcastically: "If Wang Jiefu wanted to make money, he would not be willing to spend money to hire yamen servants."
Sima Guang said: "Although Wang Jiefu's new laws and regulations have not yet been promulgated, I also know something. He has to spend money to hire servants, but he does not only take money from the rich to hire poor people. Ordinary people also have to pay money to be exempted from labor. .
As a planner, you should be better at calculating this account than I am. Zhang Fei's street intrusion tax is calculated based on the size of the land. The land occupied by a powerful person can be worth hundreds of ordinary people. He can calculate it from The rich and powerful received more money, and Wang Jiefu's tax exemption was calculated based on his household registration, but the rich in the world together could still hand over a lot of money.
This money ultimately comes from the people. If these patrol policemen also have to pay this tax, they are the ones who really pay. The family has some spare money, but that's it."
Lu Gongzhu shook his head and said: "What you said is unfair to Wang Jiefu. After all, Wang Jiefu is trying to improve the finances. Zhang San has no such responsibility."
Sima Guang immediately said: "Why is it unfair? Didn't Zhang San's rectifications improve the finances? These expenditures are all spent wisely, and this money is originally required by the imperial court."
Lu Gong wrote: "But the financial expenditure for the General Police Department has not been reduced."
Sima Guang said: "But the work efficiency of the General Police Department is far better than that of the Inspection Department. Without increasing financial expenditure, this matter can be done better, which can be regarded as an improvement in finance!"
Lu Gongzhu chuckled and said, "It seems that Junshi is very satisfied with this rectification."
Sima Guang nodded and smiled: "I am indeed very satisfied. This is much better than I imagined. If the government implements Zhang San's reform, then I will definitely support it, but it is much better than Wang Jiefu."
This is ridiculous and too insulting to Wang Jiefu.
Lu Gongzhu shook his head and said: "Don't say that now. When Wang Jiefu gets better, don't blush."
Sima Guang sneered and said: "You will definitely blush if you blush, but it's not because you're ashamed, but because you're blushing because of the quarrel with him. I'll put it here today. His idea of not giving wealth to the people but providing money to the country is simply bullshit. He is unreasonable and deceives his reputation and steals the world. He is just like Sang Hongyang. The court takes over everything and relies on authority to make money. Who can earn more than the court? Isn't this competing with the people for profit?
He also took money from the powerful. Zhang San relied on the law and took every penny he received in a legal way. He did not say that the General Police Department went to the Royal Street to set up a stall and earned all the money himself. .”
Mr. Lu chuckled and said, "You are already blushing now."
Sima Guang said: "That was also caused by you. Okay, why are you mentioning Wang Jiefu?"
He was in a good mood today, and he got a big deal for nothing.
"Okay, okay!" Lu Gongzhu knew that Sima Guang's character was also very stubborn. Once he determined it, it would be difficult to change. He had the same character as Wang Anshi, so he said: "It's my fault. I'm treating you at noon today. Let's find someone." Let’s take a rest in a tavern.”
Sima Guang said: "Let's go and look elsewhere."
But basically the situation is the same everywhere, making noise first and then actively participating.
Although it is indeed a bit excessive to replace the Royal Street with a vegetable market.
But then the General Police Department threw out so much livelihood to appease these people. After all, the shacks that were demolished only accounted for a small part of the residential area.
It doesn’t mean that every household has invaded the street and built a shack.
Nowadays, more people can participate in these livelihoods. For example, the police uniforms and materials are all provided by the General Police Department, and people only need to pay for the craftsmanship fee.
The handwork fee is the same for a set, provided your needlework is excellent.
The key point is that all the supporting facilities of the vegetable market are all under the responsibility of the General Police Department. The stone benches and tables will be built, and they only need to do business.
When the powerful officials in the court saw this situation, they were completely convinced and quickly asked their servants to pay taxes.
Judging from the attitude of the General Police Department, if this is not paid, they will really come to demolish it.
If they were to dismantle it, they would be at a loss.
Because housing prices are high!
Just like Ten Miles of Spring Breeze, the current regulations require half of it to be dismantled. If calculated based on the market price, it would cost at least 1,500 pieces.
But if you don't split it but pay taxes, it will be more than 30 kuan per year. How many years can you pay this?
Who can guarantee that the law will be enforced like this every year?
But then again, many powerful people have to pay hundreds of dollars, and they have to pay it every year. Although they are very rich, they always only make profits without losing money, and they still feel very unhappy.
The court asked me for money.
How could this be?
unacceptable.
"Superintendent Cao."
"Ma Shuai, Li Yushi."
Cao Ping looked back and saw Wang Chao and Li Zhan walking over. He cupped his fists and saluted.
Li Zhan said bluntly: "Superintendent Cao, what you are doing is against the rules. You are using our money to achieve your own political achievements. If we censors do the same thing, I don't think you will have an easy time. "
The implication is that everyone’s butts are dirty, and if you puncture the window paper, both parties will suffer losses.
Wang Chao also said: "I don't understand why you do this. Your family also has to pay. Everyone eats in the same pot. If you smash the pot and sell iron, who will be willing to join your Cao family in the future?" Coming and going.”
Cao Ping snorted: "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame it, blame it on yourselves. You brought this on yourselves."
Li Zhan wondered: "Why should you blame us?"
Cao commented: "If you hadn't brought Zhang San to serve in the military patrol shop, would so many things have happened?"
Wang Chao argued: "He is just a government official. If you hadn't been supporting him from behind, would he have caused so many troubles?"
"Do I support him?"
Cao Ping smiled, "It's because of him that I became the chief superintendent. The people who really support him are Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi. Even the officials support him. Can't you see this?
How can I do this? Now that I have nowhere to vent my resentment, you still come to blame me. It is really unreasonable."
Wang Chao and Li Zhan looked at each other.
The two of them had nothing to say.
Kaifeng Mansion.
"Li Tongpan, please don't play with me. I figured it out. At least we have to serve until the twelfth lunar month. But autumn hasn't passed yet. How can we go home? I don't believe it. If I want to leave, I might not be able to go home."
Became a fugitive."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said depressedly.
Who is playing who? Li Kai said hurriedly: "What you have done in these two months is equivalent to what someone would have done in twenty years."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "I'm still working hard."
"work hard!"
Li Kai nodded repeatedly: "I have never seen a yamen worker as hardworking as you in my life. What are you trying to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't have any plans, I. I just don't want to live up to your expectations. When I wanted to hire someone to serve on my behalf, you refused to let me do it, saying that the court needed my special talents. Then I will do my best. This is not what you expected.
What?"
Li Kai suddenly felt hopeless.
Let me tell you who made you take it seriously.
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Li Tongpan, you see, we work so hard. When we finish serving, can the Kaifeng Mansion quickly give us a plaque? The most hard-working yamen servant can also set up a plaque for future generations."
example."
Li Kaixin thought, if all government officials did what you did, I wouldn't be able to do this job anymore! He said quickly: "Don't wait until the time comes, it's today."
After saying that, he handed an official document to him, "This is an official document from Kaifeng Mansion. As Erbi, you should know that from today on, you are no longer a Yamen servant."
Zhang Fei didn't answer, "No! I haven't even put on my new police uniform yet."
"Wear whatever you want and go back to your office." Li Kai threw the official document to him directly.
If you stay one more day, we will have one more day of sleepless nights.
Who knows what else you can do next.
Zhang Fei picked up the official document and said, "Li Tongpan, what you did is not kind. I didn't come at the beginning, but you insisted on me coming. I've just started to do it now, and when I was getting addicted to it, you asked me to come back."
