At that time, there was a notice saying that there were 2,700 missing people and 50 dead in Suijin Town, and the local government was required to provide pensions.
One tael for each person who is missing, five taels for each person who is dead,
The compensation for each person is not much, but it cannot cope with the large number of missing people. One tael of silver per person costs more than 3,000 taels.
Because all the officials in Qili County and Pingyang Prefecture were replaced, everything was in chaos. No one cared about the affairs of Suijin Town, and the black and white paper was just a piece of paper.
Besides, the missing persons in Ruijin Town may have had ominous household registrations, or the whole family may have been wiped out, and no one is asking for pensions.
The money that came out of the treasury became a dead debt as soon as it arrived in Qili County.
Now that Mr. Zhang mentioned it again, Sun Wuming was immediately angry: "What an outrage! What kind of pension money? Where did you hear this rumor?"
I am only responsible for collecting taxes. I don’t know what you are talking about. Anyway, it is you who are evading taxes now. If you don’t pay, believe it or not, you will be sent to jail immediately!”
Seeing him cheating, Mr. Zhang was so angry that he trembled with anger: "You are greedy for thousands of taels of life money, and you won't even let go of one or two hundred taels. You are really evil! You are not afraid of those evil spirits haunting you every night."
Sun Wuming suddenly felt guilty when he heard that the grievances were haunting him, but he really didn't know what the pension was, and even if he had it, he wouldn't be able to get it.
Knowing that the broken gold town was a cesspool of stones, smelly and hard, Sun Wuming's mind changed rapidly.
If you come back without success this time, it will be difficult to pry it open next time.
No matter how much, even if it is a few articles, this path must be opened.
Sun Wuming's face sank: "Here comes someone! Arrest this unruly man!"
Deception, threats, there is always one that can be used.
The four policemen who followed Sun Wuming shook their chains and wanted to come forward to take him away.
"Which of you dares to take action!"
"The county government has turned a blind eye to us. Now that we have enough money to live on, we are being exploited again. I will fight with you!"
"I don't care about the dead, but I only care about the living, so I'll pay for it with my life."
Because the county government came to inspect the taxes, thirty or forty people from the food factory gathered inside and outside the guild hall, except for those who worked in the fields.
When he heard that someone was about to be arrested, Hu Qing locked the courtyard door, stared and shouted: "If you want money, I'll give my life in exchange."
Sun Wuming slapped the table with a stern look on his face: "You are flouting the law and you will be punished."
He only brought four government servants with him this time.
Ordinary people are afraid of officials. Under normal circumstances, four government officials are enough for him to display his official power.
But that doesn't work in Ruijin Town. These people are not ordinary farmers. It's impossible to scare them with just a few words.
Sun Wuming wanted to arrest Mr. Zhang, but Hu Qing closed the courtyard door directly, which was a hard fight.
The noise in the Broken Gold Guild Hall could be heard far away, but everything in Xue Zhuang's house was quiet.
Shopkeeper Mi also sat at the top of the table, with a contract spread out in front of him, looking at Xue Zhuang with a smile on his face.
He had just talked with the man in town.
If the price hadn't been negotiated, he would have had the technology to make acorns non-bitter right away.
As long as he gets the secret, the current contract in Ruijin Town is not that important to Tianxiang Tower.
In other words, if you take care of Xue Zhuang, you can get some benefits again.
"Xue Zhuang, you signed this in person. I said that day, the vermicelli can only be sold to me, Tianxianglou. If you dare to sell it to others, do you not take me Mickey seriously, or don't you put Tianxianglou in your eyes?"
In the eyes.”
At this time, Xue Zhuang was held by two strong men and knelt on the ground, gnashing his teeth at Shopkeeper Mi.
The tax collector from the county government came with more than a dozen government servants. Although it was unusual for a small official to travel with so many people, it was barely normal in the chaotic Yunzhou. After all, there were refugees and bandits everywhere.
It is normal for these "government officials" to request inspections of Suijin Town.
Suijin Town is an area within the jurisdiction of Qili County. The Yamen needs to resume management and collect statistics. These are routine operations.
But after these government officials walked around for a while, they asked him to go to a remote place.
And some people don’t know when they will disappear.
It wasn't until he saw Shopkeeper Mi in a corner that Xue Zhuang realized something was wrong.
There was no rice shopkeeper in Tax Collector Sun’s carriage. When did he come here?
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late and he was detained before he could resist.
At this time, being suppressed by the fake yamen servant, Xue Zhuang glared and shouted: "My surname is Mi, when did you say that I would only sell to your family that day? Is it in the contract?"
Shopkeeper Mi twisted the two contracts into a ball: "If I say yes, there will be. If there is no... just write another one and you will have it!"
Seeing that he was about to break the contract, Xue Zhuang cursed angrily: "Your Tianxiang Restaurant is also a big restaurant, and you don't keep your word when doing business for six cents."
Shopkeeper Mi laughed loudly: "Who said you can't keep your word? Just write another one, three cents per catty, and I will take it all from Tianxianglou."
Every time our people come to Ruijin Town to move things, you don’t have to work hard to sell them everywhere. You can’t even ask for such a good thing.”
Xue Zhuang struggled to get up, but the strong man pressed him tighter. He could only tilt his head and gnashed his teeth: "I can't sign. It's three cents per catty. It's better to say it's free. You guys are too dark-hearted."
Now Suijin Town collects acorns from each village for a long time, and the price fluctuates slightly, from ten pounds and three cents to ten and five cents. People in each village go to the mountains to pick them up when they have time.
Even if the cost goes up, the price is still naturally high for vermicelli.
But making acorn vermicelli requires a lot of labor. Grinding the pulp and adding the flour are all manual labor. Dozens of people depend on this for their meals.
If Tianxianglou lowers the price and then monopolizes it, people like these people in Ruijin Town will be working in vain and will only have enough food and clothing.
Now the food factory has just begun to develop, and people are coming to pick peaches.
Broken Gold Town has already been robbed, and it is impossible to give away its cash cow again.
Seeing Xue Zhuang's stubborn words, shopkeeper Mi snorted coldly: "If you don't sign, someone will sign it."
Xue Zhuang's heart skipped a beat. In order to increase sales, Mr. Zhang gave every department the right to place orders.
If Hu Qing and the others didn't know Mickey's origins and signed the deal just looking at it, it would be over.
"Mickey, I am a military householder, and this is a guard station. If you do whatever you want, think through the consequences."
"What are the consequences? Haha, it's just a health center that manages the soldiers well. If you dare to go beyond the government to take charge of civil affairs, you won't be afraid of being impeached and disturbing the stability of the place." Mickey said confidently.
He did not act rashly when he came this time. The county clerk was conducting tax inspections, which meant that the government was managing the households, and the guards had no right to interfere.
He only needs to change the contract and pay 10% more taxes to the county officials, and this land will belong to Tianxiang Tower.
Xue Zhuang regretted it to death at this time!
Shopkeeper Mi followed the Qili County government into the town, and his entourage was all dressed up as government servants, so no one was on guard.
Not only did they beat him up, but they also detained several people who made acorn vermicelli in the house. If he didn't sign here, they would find someone else to come forward.
The guards haven't received any news yet.
Don't the people in Broken Gold Town have a good life?
