Yamazaki and Shandai returned safely, took off their night clothes and green clothes and put them away.
Wearing green clothes under black clothes is to prepare for a fight. If the night clothes are broken, the green clothes will be exposed.
In fact, Yamazaki was watching the situation in Tongcheng but didn't respond, so he acted under the guise of the Qingyi Sect.
And it dug a big hole conveniently, and the officials forced the people to rebel on purpose.
Because most people have no idea of resisting the government, it's not that they don't have the ability, it's that they have never thought about it.
The phrase "the government forces the people to rebel" is to wake up the people and also to warn the government.
How effective it will be depends on God's will.
The Duanmu Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji still needs Emperor Duanmu to work harder.
…
"elder brother."
Shandai smiled and opened the package, which was full of banknotes.
Yamazaki frowned, "It's useless to look at these now. You have to look at them one by one to make sure they are unmarked banknotes."
"Oh, this is Mr. Chang's private bank, there will definitely be no problem."
"How did you know?"
"Of course, he also has a box of official banknotes. Those banknotes are either issued by the government or have official seals stamped on them."
"I see, but I still need to check it again and be careful."
Shandai curled her lips and said, "Okay, check it out slowly, I'll go to bed."
…
Yamazaki and Shandai were quiet, but the wealthy families in the city became lively. They ordered people to connect with each other and organize meetings to discuss countermeasures.
In the morning, I hurriedly went to the appointed place to meet.
After deliberation, we decided to follow the normal procedure. First, verify his identity, and then send someone to notify the superiors, who would then inform the court.
The verification of identity was done by officials, which could take a day. It was said that the shipping envoy happened to be patrolling the waterway, and he hurried over after being notified.
Riding a horse to report the news could take at least four days because the road conditions were not good at the moment.
As for the secret agents, they used the excuse of checking whether they were members of the Tsing Yi Sect to refrain from reporting for the time being.
In this way, the time can be delayed for five days.
The city was taken over by the city defense officers, with help from the navy camp to stabilize public order.
The yamen boss and others continued the government affairs and called for the payment of taxes and autumn grain. The excuse in advance was to avoid thieves from causing trouble.
No matter what happens in the future, first collect the money and food and distribute what is due.
Later, I arranged for the boss to fake his death and escape, and pinned down the two thieves.
When the time comes and there is no evidence, everything will be left to the city guard, leaving nothing to be investigated by the higher authorities.
As for whether the matter can be settled, I really don't know yet. We can only take it one step at a time.
…
morning.
Yamazaki went to a pawn shop to redeem the house deed and found a group of officers and soldiers patrolling on the road.
Yamazaki doesn't think there is a problem with this. It would only be a problem if no one maintained it.
I was just passing by a street corner and noticed that the Yamen posted a notice there, calling for the payment of taxes and autumn grain.
Yamazaki was speechless. This was really a desperate need for money.
Fortunately, now my pocket is so bulging that I can't put it in. If I give you two hundred thousand taels of silver, I will treat it as a part of the official.
Yamazaki thought about going to the dock and buying bulk goods from sea ships.
The first is grain, unprocessed new harvest rice.
The other party sat on the ground and raised the price. Originally, it was five liang per dou, but he wanted ten taels per dou.
A sea ship can carry 5,000 stones, 50,000 buckets, and 500,000 taels.
(One stone weighs one hundred and fifty kilograms, seven hundred and fifty tons.)
Yamazaki gave up and bought fine white salt instead.
This one is cheap, the market price is 100 taels per dou, the wholesale price starts from 80 taels, the more you have, the cheaper it is.
Yamazaki looked at the product and felt that it was not as fine and white as Shanjiabao's well salt.
In other words, the price is too high.
Give up and buy bacon again, one pound or two silver.
Because it is packed in boxes, the space on a seagoing ship can only hold 400,000 kilograms (600 tons).
Yamazaki thought about it, but he still felt that he was too high. These guys were quite dark.
Yamazaki didn't ask any more questions and went to Yaxing instead. As expected, there were more people placing orders there.
Yamazaki sat down and looked at the properties. Most of them were restaurants and the like. It was obvious that the landlord was about to run away.
Yamasaki selected three more houses of sixty-six steps and invited them to negotiate prices. He also purchased the entire property from them, but they did not want to sell.
Yamazaki asked that he needed to prepare his own servants, but gave up and continued to wait.
…
When Yamazaki returned to the restaurant, the shopkeeper sent him official documents and asked him to pay him food or money.
The documents were delivered to the farm and then delivered by the farm tenants.
According to the reduction and exemption rules, autumn grain still requires 200,000 taels of silver.
The tax is one-tenth of the total assets. The assets in Shanjie's name are worth 400,000 taels of silver, and 40,000 taels of silver need to be paid.
There is also repair money. Wealthy businessmen with assets of more than 10,000 taels have to pay one-tenth of the money. Shanjiao needs 40,000 taels of silver.
A total of two hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, one word, black!
…
Yamazaki did not pay the money honestly and waited to see how things would develop.
While thinking about something, Dong Fenglin came in with tea.
"Master, when I heard that you were coming, I wanted to come and see you."
"Sit down, there's been a lot of chaos lately, I'm afraid I don't have time to spend time with you."
"What did the master say? Is it because I disturbed the master's thoughts?"
"Of course. When you see Lian'er, how can you think of anything else."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir, but I'd better go out so as not to disturb my master's business."
"Don't worry about this cup of tea. Give me your left hand."
"yes."
…
Dong Fenglin gave Yamazaki her hand with a hint of shyness.
Yamazaki stared at the beauty, feeling very interesting. He also had a beauty of his own.
Dong Fenglin turned her face away, pretending to be shy.
In fact, I felt extremely happy and felt relieved that I had charmed Yamazaki.
Of course she didn't know, Yamazaki knew everything from her heartbeat.
However, Yamazaki didn't expose it. After all, Dong Fenglin was born in a flower house, so it would be strange if she couldn't act.
Yamazaki was very satisfied with Dong Fenglin's approach. Being a housekeeper naturally requires scheming methods.
Yamazaki pressed Dong Fenglin's hand and put it on her wrist.
Dong Fengling was suddenly shocked, how could she take a pulse?
…
Yamazaki carefully considered Dong Fenglin's pulse, then asked her to stand up, and felt her bones without any scruples.
People with good talents, good bones, and indeed good looks will always be taken care of by God.
There is no disease in the body, but the muscles are loose and need to be polished. I guess it is because of being pampered.
"Can you do the sword dance?"
"Yes, sir, do you want to see it?" Dong Fenglin stared at Yamazaki seductively.
"Have you not danced for a long time?"
"Sir, I haven't danced for several years."
"Okay, starting from today, practice for an hour every day, no need to continue, just reach the total amount."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, not only you, but also your maids and slaves are also practicing."
Dong Fenglin saluted, "How dare you ask me, sir, what does this mean?"
"Teach you martial arts so that you can protect yourself and make it easier to run if anything happens."
"Thank you sir, but we are past the age of martial arts training."
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements to ensure that you can become a second-rate master within three months. It's more than enough to jump over a city wall."
"Yes, I will obey the master's orders."
Yamazaki drank tea and said, "Okay, I'll leave first. You continue to live here. If you need anything, just tell the shopkeeper."
"Yes, master, walk slowly."
Dong Fenglin sent Yamazaki away, feeling a little disappointed.
I obviously like her very much, why did she suddenly turn to martial arts?
