Chapter 2241 the interviewer who reported his real name
September 26, evening.
The secret agent commander received the emperor's letter and began to deal with it.
First, Hancheng was notified to exempt autumn grain from taxes this year, and then the people involved were punished.
The people were full of joy, and what was even more joyful was that the middle class, which had been suppressed by the powerful, could come forward without the suppression from above.
At the same time, many of their fields have not been flooded, so they don’t have to pay autumn grain now, so they can make a huge profit.
Yamazaki frowned upon hearing this. It is true that the emperor is kind, but being too kind to officials means being unkind to the people.
This place should be completely killed so as not to encourage arrogance.
Of course, that would indeed make officials all over the world nervous, and it would force some officials who knew they were guilty of serious crimes to take desperate risks, cause a lot of chaos, and might even induce kings to revolt.

But those are all labor pains. If the kings dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble, there is nothing to worry about, and they will all be solved.
Because those officials did not have the support of the people, the kings who took advantage of their rebellion would not have the support of the people either.
But now the emperor is putting the cart before the horse and would rather lose the support of the people.
Yamazaki couldn't help but sigh, fearing that the emperor's country and country would be lost.
…
at night.
The secret agent led the people to deal with the prisoners, live from house to house, and report all the family property, especially the banknotes.
Take out all the deeds of the house and land, and later sell all the properties and exchange them for banknotes.
Finally, take away half of all the banknotes and go to another place to start again.
You can't take anything with you except people. You can only wear prison clothes on the road and change clothes when you go somewhere.
This is a common practice. Everyone knows it and cooperates honestly.
Anyway, families in other places are powerful and will be taken care of.
The silver he carried was at least a few million taels, but at most it was tens of millions of taels, enough to start over.
I just have to wait for a while, after all, I have to wait for the storm to pass.
…
On the other side, the Yamen issued a post inviting wealthy businessmen in the city to purchase properties through the accounts of taxes payable.
Yamazaki also received the invitation and decided to go see it tomorrow.
The next day, I called Shan Dai, selected some shopkeepers who were familiar with the situation in the city, and took Dong Fenglin to the Yamen for a meeting.
When they met, Yamazaki introduced Dong Fenglin to Shandai. Shandai curiously took Dong Fenglin to a deserted place, lifted the veil and looked at it.
Dong Fenglin heard what Yamazaki said and knew that this was her sister who disguised herself as a man and hung out in the archway all day long. She was quite wild.
When I saw him today, he was really capable and did what he said.
…
Yamen, courtyard.
There were many wealthy businessmen attending the meeting, between three and four hundred households.
Part of me is really happy, and part of me is forcing myself to smile, not daring not to come.
Under the guidance of the yamen servant, Yamazaki waved his folding fan and led Dong Fenglin, who was wearing a veil, and the shopkeepers to their seats and sat down.
In front of you is a coffee table with tea and snacks on it.
Yamazaki drank tea and tasted some snacks, and felt that it was okay and not a bad product like Hu Nongren.
…
Soon after, a swordsman came out to preside over the meeting and informed everyone of the basic situation and price of the property deed.
There are more than 400 large and small properties, hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, hundreds of thousands of acres of mountains, forests and mineral resources, and thousands of shops and workshops.
For example, a 200-step mansion with a number of antique calligraphy and paintings, a number of servants, and a number of fine gold and silver would be priced at 800,000 taels of silver.
There is a bamboo forest, a paper mill, and a printing office. There is a certain amount of inventory, totaling five hundred thousand taels.
…
Then, if you want to buy in bulk, please come in and choose first, indicating that it is a cash transaction of more than 500,000 taels.
In other words, if you don't have 500,000 taels of cash, don't go in.
Yamazaki stood up and led Dong Fenglin and others inside.
One after another, some people followed, and if calculated by household, there were hundreds of households.
There was also a swordsman and penman in charge inside, who directly hung up the documents for everyone to read through first.
Then quote prices one by one. If there is competition, bid to buy.
Yamazaki looked around and caught a lot of pictures.
…
About half an hour later, the hawking started.
Yamazaki bid for some properties and did not compete with others. If someone raised the price, he would give up.
For properties worth less than one million taels of silver, more people buy them.
The price has reached one million taels of silver, so there is not much left to buy.
When the price reached two million taels of silver, there were fewer people buying it.
Yamazaki thought about it and raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to buy the property more comprehensively.
The swordsman and penman held up his hands and said, "For this officer, what does it mean to be more regular?"
Yamazaki handed over his hand and said, "That's the whole family."
"Their businesses are already in sync with each other, such as farms that produce grain and meat, restaurants and restaurants that sell food in bulk, and boat shops that sell in bulk."
"Dismantling them one by one like this will cause trouble in terms of supply, freight and sales."
"Especially for an outsider like me, I can't figure out the way inside, and I don't want to pay attention to it. Just produce and sell it yourself."
"This..." The swordsman and penman had a headache because he couldn't make the decision.
"Okay, but at least five million taels of silver." The secret agent came out.
The swordsman and penman saluted and stepped aside.
Although everyone didn't know each other, they all stood up and saluted.
Yamazaki's thoughts suddenly changed, and he thought that this was a way out for his adoptive mother, so he decided not to hide his identity from the spy leader.
Yamazaki stepped forward, cupped his hands, and spoke in his original voice, "It turns out it's your lord, please lend me a step to speak."
The spy leader was a little curious, and the voice sounded familiar, so he agreed.
…
Side hall.
Yamazaki removed his disguise and paid homage again, "Shanjiabao Yamazaki, pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief."
"It's you?" The secret agent leader was very surprised, "Aren't you in Luojiazhuang?"
"My roommate couldn't sit still, so she went out for a walk." Yamazaki handed over, "I won't hide it from you, sir. We came all the way and stole a lot of banknotes from bandits, water bandits, and green forest heroes, so we stopped here to buy property.
"
"Ha." The secret agent commander was also dumbfounded, and immediately discovered the problem, "Why are you buying property here?"
Yamazaki handed over his hand, "The Tian family where my adoptive mother lives is nearby, and one day I can show off."
"Oh, I'm using a pseudonym, Misaki, so I won't let them know it yet."
"That's it." The secret agent commander said amusedly, "How much money did you get?"
Yamazaki said happily: "Ah, speaking of this, the southeastern area is really rich, and we were also very lucky. We easily made more than ten million taels of silver."
The spy leader nodded, "Okay, the money is yours now. It's up to you to spend it how you want to spend it."
Yamazaki held up his hand and said, "Yes, thank you so much, sir."
"You go ahead. I have something I want to talk to you about later."
"Can you tell me what it is first? Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."
The spy leader told the truth, "Do you know anything about Tongcheng?"
"I heard about it, but this matter is very simple for adults." Yamazaki smiled, feeling satisfied that he finally found someone taking care of this matter.
The secret agent leader was surprised, "Oh, you should tell me."
Yamazaki handed over his hand, "Your Excellency must be worried that the government, spies, and Jianghu gangs are colluding and will be used by the kings in the future."
The secret agent leader nodded, "Go on."
"Actually, the spies are not very close to the Jianghu gangs. The Jianghu gangs have access to the government, and the spies are led away by local officials."
"I guess so."
"The reason why Jianghu gangs are strong and unscrupulous is because they are protected by the government."
