Chapter 162

At that time, there was a notice saying that there were 700 missing people in Suijin Town, and [-] people died, and the local government was required to provide pensions.

One tael per person for the missing, five tael per person for the dead,
The compensation for each person is not much, but it can't stand up to the large number of missing persons, and each person needs more than 3000 taels of silver.

Because all the officials of Qili County Government and Pingyang Mansion were replaced, it was a mess. No one cared about the affairs of Suijin Town, and the words in black and white were empty words.

Besides, the missing persons in Suijin Town have unknown household registration, or their entire family has been wiped out, and no one asks for pensions.

As soon as the money from the treasury reached Qili County, it became a dead debt.

Now being brought up again by Mr. Zhang, Sun Wuming was immediately annoyed: "Presumptuous! What kind of pension money, where did I hear this rumor.

This official only collects taxes, I don't know what you said.Anyway, you are evading taxes now, if you don’t pay, believe it or not, you will be sent to prison immediately! "

Seeing him cheating, Mr. Zhang trembled with anger: "You are greedy for thousands of taels of life money, and you don't even let go of one or two hundred wen. You are really black-hearted! You are not afraid of those evil spirits haunting you every night."

Sun Wuming felt guilty when he heard that the wronged soul was entangled, but he really didn't know what kind of pension, even if there was, he couldn't get it out.

Knowing that Suijin Town is a cesspit of stones, smelly and hard, Sun Wuming's thoughts changed sharply.

If you return without success this time, it will be difficult to pry it open next time.

No matter how much, even a few pennies have to open up this way.

Sun Wuming's face darkened: "Come here! Arrest this troublemaker!"

Deception, threats, there is always one that can be used.

The four yamen arresters who followed Sun Wuming shook their chains and wanted to come forward to arrest him.

"Which one of you dares to do it!"

"The county government doesn't care about us, and now some money can be used to live and come to exploit, I will fight with you!"

"The dead don't care, only care about the living, then take your life in exchange."

Because the county government came to check taxes, excluding those who went to work in the fields, there were three or forty people from the food factory gathered inside and outside the hall.

Hearing that someone was going to be arrested, Hu Qing slammed the courtyard door shut, and shouted, "If you want money, you can exchange your life for it."

Sun Wuming slapped the table sternly: "You are flouting the law and discipline, and you will be punished."

He only brought four yamen servants with him this time.

The common people are afraid of officials, and under normal circumstances, there are four yamen servants enough for him to display his official authority.

But not in Suijin Town, these people are not ordinary peasants, it is impossible to scare them with a few words.

Sun Wuming wanted to arrest Mr. Zhang, but Hu Qing directly closed the courtyard door, which was a hard bar.

The noise in Suijin Guild Hall can be heard far away, but Xue Zhuang's house is quiet.

Shopkeeper Mi also sat on the top seat, with a contract spread out in front of him, and looked at Xue Zhuang with a smile on his face.

He had talked to the man in town just now.

If it wasn't for the price not being negotiated, he would immediately be able to obtain the technology that the acorns are not bitter.

As long as he gets the secret, the current contract in Suijin Town is not that important to Tianxianglou.

In other words, he could get some benefits again by taking care of Xue Zhuang himself.

"Xue Zhuang, you signed this yourself. I said the other day that vermicelli can only be sold to me, Tianxianglou. How dare you sell other people? Are you not paying attention to me, Mickey, or Tianxianglou? in the eyes."

At this time, Xue Zhuang was held by two strong men and knelt on the ground, gnashing his teeth at the shopkeeper Mi.

The tax collector Sun of the county government came with more than a dozen government servants. Although it is out of line for a small official to bring so many people, it is barely normal to be in the chaotic Yunzhou. After all, there are refugees everywhere now.

It is normal for these "yamen servants" to request to inspect Suijin Town.

Suijin Town is an area within the jurisdiction of Qili County. The yamen will resume management, and statistics are required. These are routine operations.

But after these yamen servants went around, they tried to ask him to go to remote places.

And there are still some people who don't know when they will disappear.

Xue Zhuang didn't realize something was wrong until he saw shopkeeper Mi in a corner.

In Sun Tax Collector's carriage, there is no rice shopkeeper. When did he come here?

When he found out that something was wrong, it was 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: "Mi, when did you say that you will only sell your family? Is it in the contract?"

Shopkeeper Mi rolled up the two contracts and kneaded them into a ball: "I said yes, and I have it. No... write another contract and I will have it!"

Seeing that he was going to break the contract, Xue Zhuang scolded angrily: "You Tianxianglou is also a big restaurant, and you don't keep your promises when you do business for six cents."

Shopkeeper Mi laughed loudly: "Who says you can't keep your word, you just need to write a new one, three Wen per catty, and I will take all the money from Tianxianglou.

Every time our people come to Suijin Town to carry them, you don't need to work hard to sell them around. You can't even ask for such a good thing. "

Xue Zhuang struggled to get up, but was pressed even tighter by the strong man, he could only tilt his head and gritted his teeth: "I can't sign, three coins per catty, it's better to give it away for nothing, your hearts are too dark."

Now Suijin Town has been harvesting acorns in various villages for a long time, and the price has fluctuated slightly, from three cents for ten catties to five cents for ten catties. People from every village go up the mountain to pick them up when they have time.

Even if the cost rises, the natural profit is still high for vermicelli at this price.

However, it takes a lot of labor to make acorn vermicelli. Grinding the pulp and making the flour is all manual work. Dozens of people rely on this for food.

If they were monopolized by Tianxianglou under lower prices, the people in Suijin Town would be doing nothing but living for nothing.

Now the food factory has just started to pick up, and some people come to pick peaches.

Broken Gold Town has been robbed, and it is impossible to give away his own money tree.

Seeing Xue Zhuang's stubborn mouth, shopkeeper Mi snorted coldly: "If you don't sign it, someone else will sign it."

Xue Zhuang's heart skipped a beat. In order to increase sales, Mr. Zhang gave every department the right to order goods.

If Hu Qing and the others didn't know about Mickey's background and signed the big order, it would be over.

"Mitch, I'm a military household, this is the guard, you have to act recklessly, think carefully about the consequences."

"What's the consequence? Hehe, it's just a guard station. If you manage those soldiers well, if you dare to go beyond the government to manage civil affairs, you won't be afraid of being impeached and disturbing the stability of the place." Mickey said confidently.

He didn't come here this time to act recklessly. There is a county secretary's office to check taxes, which means that the government is managing the households, and the guard has no right to interfere.

I just need to change the contract and pay [-]% more taxes to the county officials, and this site belongs to Tianxianglou.

Xue Zhuang regretted it to death at this time!

Shopkeeper Mi followed the Qili County Yamen into the town, and all his followers were uniformly dressed as Yamen servants, so everyone was unprepared.

Not only did they beat him up, but they also detained several people who made acorn vermicelli in the house, and if he didn't sign here, they would find another person to come forward.

And the guards have not received any news yet.

Don't the people in Broken Gold Town have a life to live a good life?
