Chapter 103

Chapter 103 102. Tax Collector

The west of Yuntai County is already in chaos, but the east of Yuntai County is still prosperous.

However, according to Lao Liu's description, with the influx of a large number of refugees, the security of Dongyang County has also been greatly affected.

But Dongyang is a place with prosperous commerce after all. If these refugees can be slowly digested, it may make this place full of flowers simmer and become even more prosperous.

Lu Junyi said goodbye at the right time and left.

The banquet was even more lively as the wine was in full swing and the mind was still open.

And Lao Liu, also in this fight, learned about the development of the boss in the past two or three months, and knew what the boss's confidence was in daring to confront the mayor Xie Yanwu!

This shocked Lao Liu and at the same time, he felt that he had to meet the Ming Lord!

If you follow closely behind your boss from now on, your future will definitely be limitless.

He silently thought of what he said when he was listening to a storyteller in the guild hall in Dongyang County: "When a man is born between heaven and earth, he should assist his master and achieve great success!"

Qingcheng Zheng family.

"This Ningxiang Zhai is from the Ren Mansion in Qingcheng Town. The daily income of Ningxiang Zhai is a lot of money, and the monthly profit is no less than this amount!"

In this letter from the young official, he specifically mentioned the Ren family and the head of the Ren family. He mentioned the soap from Ningxiangzhai and that we could go to Dongyang via our trade route in the future. He also asked me about the Ren family’s family history.

The head of the family said that this man seems to be very capable, so let us have more contact with him, maybe we will gain something."

It's sweet, leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth, and tastes like fairy fruit!

A woman in commoner clothes who looked like an ordinary peasant woman looked at the family letter in her hand and asked.

"That's so kind of you, sir!"

She was answered by a snoring sound.

The flower viewing hall has only three walls, and the wallless side faces a small garden.

"One hundred taels?"

Tax Officer Wang nodded and said.

Women from merchant families are not as particular as noble ladies from official families. The old housekeeper responded.

Xie Yanwu shook his head.

"Wherever, if Mr. Wang likes it, you are welcome to come often, come often!"

Xie Yanwu walked in with a man in gray robes who looked about forty years old.

Tax Officer Wang said in surprise.

Xie Yanwu suddenly asked.

This rare moment of free time calmed down the mind of this migrant worker who originally planned to enjoy life, and gradually he became mentally sleepy.

The next day, the sun was very bright, and there was a row of little birds on the wall of the town government office. They were chirping, each one combing their feathers and stretching their heads, looking very lively. Under the wall, there was a fat yellow and white bird.

The cat raised its head and looked at these little birds. Its round eyes kept turning on them, as if it was thinking of some bad idea.

They couldn't help but think.

Xiao Wan pouted her lips, gently approached Ren Pingsheng, and kissed him gently on his forehead. Then she felt a little bump in her chest, and kissed him on the cheek again, as if she had done something wrong.

, fled in a hurry.

The old housekeeper who was sweeping the courtyard answered.

"Master, would you like to warm the bed?"

Tiantian is the special sweet grape he bought in the supermarket, which has a high sugar content.

"One thousand taels!?"

"Hmph~"

"Of course, a restaurant has just opened in Chengguan Town recently. It is very popular among the ladies and gentlemen in the city. It has become a trend."

Ren Mansion, Ren Pingsheng was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.

Wangshu carried a small stool and pinched his feet.

Therefore, he speaks more casually.

"Thank you, Mayor, for being so polite."

When Xie Yanwu saw that Tax Collector Wang liked it, he looked overjoyed.

Mrs. Zheng looked at the letter and said, "The flowers in Baiyuan Garden will bloom in a few days. Then invite the head of the Ren family and his wife to come."

"The Ren family...is it the Ren family from Ningxiangzhai?"

"No."

Xie Yanwu nodded: "I think the rich people in Qingcheng Town must be the Ren family. However, although Ningxiangzhai has a lot of income, it relies on the Ren family's considerable power and never pays taxes. Otherwise, the taxes collected by Qingcheng will be nowhere.

These?"

"I haven't looked at the stars like this for many years."

The four maids were so surprised that you and I were all sharing the grapes and cantaloupe one by one.

At this time, the wintersweet, peonies, rhododendrons, and crabapples in the garden are blooming beautifully, rippling in the wind. The light floral fragrance is refreshing, accompanied by the fragrance of tea in the cup and the faint lingering sound of the beauty's pipa in the distance. It is really a great enjoyment of life!

Qingyin was there to cut a cantaloupe for Ren Shengsheng.

Drink tea and chat.

Xiaowan, who was holding her chin in a daze, saw Ren Pingsheng entering the room, so she followed him in, gently tucked him in, and then approached him and asked.

Because he had drunk wine, his face was flushed. Ru Hua peeled the washed grapes beside him and put them into his mouth one by one.

"Huhuhu~"

"good!"

Yawning, Ren Ping's business enthusiasm waned, he waved his hand and went to sleep in the house.

Tax Officer Wang said politely.

"Master Wang, have you ever heard of Ningxiangzhai?"

"You can share these grapes and cantaloupe among the rest of you."

He followed the old man of the Zheng family. In the early years, he took the young Master Zheng out to sea. Later, when he went to sea, he was injured for the Zheng family. When he got older, he returned to Qingcheng and became a housekeeper of the Zheng family. He worked for the Zheng family.

His dedication was enough to bridge the gap between master and servant.

"Madam, this is the Ren family. Did the head of the family mention the Ren family? The head of the family is far away in Dongyang, how did he know about the Ren family?"

Siqi played the pipa and hummed folk tunes, his voice was melodious and full of flavor.

"It was the Ren family's caravan that went to Dongyang.

"Delicate flowers, beauties, music, and this kind of fun are really enviable! Mayor Xie enjoys it so much, even the county magistrate can't compare to you!"

Xie Yanwu led the tax collector Wang to the flower viewing pavilion.

"No, Wu Tuanlian should have done this, but he is out on official business these days, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble."

Ren Shengsheng happily held the grapes sent by Ruhua.

"Master Wang, please move to the flower viewing hall first. Let's drink tea first. The tax money has already been prepared and will be weighed by the people below."

A gust of breeze blows, and the pomegranate tree sways with the wind, and the flowers have already shown their color. The red is like fire, bright and festive.

The flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely.

Tax Officer Wang said in surprise.

Tax collector Wang couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Yanwu stretched out both hands.

Xiaowan was sitting on the steps, holding her cheeks in her hands, staring at the moon in the sky.

"By force?"

A trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Tax Officer Wang's mouth, but he stopped in a flash: "Is he really just an ordinary businessman?"

"Of course, this person is originally a farmer from Liujia Village. He moved to Qingcheng Town less than half a year ago, so what kind of following can he have?

With just this soap recipe, he now relies on Ningxiangzhai to buy a farm, set up a caravan, and hire and train a group of thugs to dominate the town, even the town government and the others don't look at it.

Here, it’s so arrogant!

Yesterday, the town government officials were collecting taxes at the city gate and were beaten up by them. It was so lawless!"

Xie Yanwu said angrily.
