Chapter 127 The Real Inside Story of the New Opening and Breaking Off

Although Lin Tailai felt that it was late today and did not go to Hushu Pass, some people did not think it was too late.

Xing Tong, who was inspecting the south of the Yangtze River, was about to go to Changzhou for inspection, and came to Hushu Pass along the canal.

At this time, when the Guan Ya was locked up, the tax envoy Wang Zhidu heard the arrival of the old Xing Xunyan from his hometown, and said without thinking: "It's already late, we don't see any guests!"

But Menzi replied: "Xing Xun said that he is performing his duties as a patrol, and he came to check the accounts. No one can stop him!"

Capital of Kings: "."

He used to bully me when I was not a Jinshi, but now that I have passed the Jinshi exam, he still bullies me!

Don't bully the middle-aged and poor, one day, the official position must be higher than you!

Xing Xun walked into the main hall of the customs office, the National Accounting Hall, and said dissatisfiedly to Wang Zhidu:

"Are you meeting me here? I heard that even the leader of a certain underworld society can invite you into the study!"

Wang Zhidu said proudly: "I only respect talents, not clothes! Although you are an inspector, I said last time that other people's talents are ten times better than yours!"

Xing Xun pressed his brows and said, "What do you think? Open two new levels and mess around with him?"

Wang Zhidu retorted righteously and said: "What is nonsense? There are many rivers in Suzhou. Apart from the main road of the Grand Canal, there are other waterways that can enter Suzhou City.

And in these other waterways, the most ships pass through Zhengbei Likou Town and Zhengxi Mudu Town. Isn't it natural to set up separate gates in these two places? "

"And then? Just to collect more tax money?" Xing Xun did not want to hear these superficial reasons.

Wang Tax Envoy continued: "Suzhou Prefecture clearly has the most goods, but the tax customs can only rank third in the world, because there are too many rivers to detour!

After the establishment of the two sub-customs, as long as there is an additional tax of 1 taels, Hushuguan can surpass Tongzhou Hexiwu and Hangzhou Beixin to become the number one tax customs in the world!

And this political achievement was accomplished in the capital of my king! "

It was only then that Xing Dong and Xing Xunyan suddenly realized that this is the real logic behind Wang Zhidu's promotion of the level setting, and this is what the insiders want to hear!
Setting up two sub-offices to collect more tax and silver is only a quantitative change, and it may not be worth investing resources.

But if Hushuguan is turned into the number one tax customs in the world, it will be a qualitative change, and it is definitely worth a big investment!
Regarding other things, Xing Xunyan doesn't want to ask more, there is no need for that.

Wang Zhiyuan, the second eldest brother of Wang Taxi Shi, the capital of the king, served as the left servant of the household department and the governor of Taicang. He was known as Wang Situ and was in charge of tax collection.

Moreover, this Wang Situ is also related to Shoufu Shen Shixing, and it is the same year as the 41st year of Jiajing.

So if the tax envoy is determined to open two sub-passes, with the full support of the imperial court Wang Situ, how could it not be possible?
Wang Zhidu looked at Xing Tong proudly, "Being an official is different from taking an exam, but there is no shortcut to secretly review your homework at night!

Only those with outstanding knowledge, thoughtfulness, and flexible minds can make outstanding achievements! "

"That's right!" Xing Xun nodded, "You're right. Lin Tailai taught you, right?"

"Yeah. Get out!" Wang Zhidu's face returned to indifference.

Xing Xunyan added: "I have something else to tell you. The lord of the literary world, Lord Wang Yanzhou, will come to visit you tomorrow."

Wang Zhidu said coldly: "He is the great leader of the world's literary world, and I am a small tax envoy of the customs office. How can I deserve his visit?"

Xing Xun persuaded: "Then you don't need to offend him, it doesn't take much to meet him, it's a normal courtesy.

Even according to his official status, he is the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, and his rank is so much higher than yours. "

Wang Zhidu snorted softly: "Lin Tailai said a word to me, which can represent my heart.

Today you ignore my love and answer, tomorrow I will make you unable to climb high! "

Xing Xun couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Do you think that if Lin Tailai hadn't come, the old leader Wang would have come to see you?"

After Wang Zhidu was stunned for a moment, he nodded and admitted: "That's true!"

Xing Xun was almost choked, and shook his sleeves and said: "Stop talking, arrange a place for me to live first, and pay your customs account.

When the old leader Wang comes tomorrow, I will also accompany you, you'd better prepare carefully, the old leader is very concerned about ostentation! "

Wang Zhidu shouted to the yamen servant at the gate: "Take Master Xunban to the Town God's Temple behind!"

Xing Tong said angrily again: "City God's Temple? Thank you for being able to speak!"

Wang Zhidu snorted and said, "What's wrong? Don't you cultural people like living in temples the most?

Besides, the Town God's Temple is a government-owned temple, why not receive officials like you who are passing through the border to beat the autumn breeze? "

Xing Tong: "."

Scholars seek lodging in temples are always places where monks and Taoists live. What they want is the profound meaning of Zen, and what they want is the pretense of talking about Zen. Who would live in the Temple of the God of God!

"Hypocritical! I can't live in love!" The simple and vigorous capital of the Han Dynasty in Shandong walked away.

When they arrived at the side courtyard of the Town God's Temple, when Xing Xunyin passed another courtyard, he found that there were couples of men and women coming in and out.

"What's the situation over there?" Xing Xunsong asked the guard leading the way in doubt.

The guard explained in detail: "It is the place where Professor Jinbu Xiaofengxian once sweated!

Professor Lin fought Ma Ji, one of the twelve beauties of Jinling, and Zhao Ji, the second, and even the green celebrities Wang Zhideng and Zhang Youyu, all here!

As Professor Lin's reputation in Suzhou is growing, many men and women have come to stay here specially recently. "

Xing Xun pressed: "."

At this time, he just wanted to quote a sentence that Wang Zhidu often said to express his feelings-the southerners are too floating.

In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Lin struggled to break free from Sun Shiyi's entanglement defense, and crawled out from the mandarin duck quilt.

In the greeting of "Brother-in-law", Mr. Lin was served by the maidservant of the Sun family to wash up, and then hurried out.

A man should put his career first, so he must go to Hushu Pass and Wang Zhidu today to discuss customs affairs!
The large ship Shenwei Lieshui had already entered the city from Changmen and arrived at the wharf under Qujiaqiao.

After Mr. Lin came out from the Sun's house, he could board the boat within a few steps, and then headed out of the city, heading straight to the destination Hushu Pass.

Yesterday, Mr. Lin was at Sun's house and met with seven or eight government officials, including those from Wu County and Changzhou County.

It's just that Mr. Lin is upright and has a clean sleeve, he only talks without promises, and he doesn't accept any gifts.

On the contrary, Sun Lianlian didn't do anything, and happily collected a lot of tea money, never earning such easy money.

Sitting in the cabin, Mr. Lin was talking to the Zhang family brothers while eating breakfast.

Zhang Erlang sighed: "Now I finally understand why the office refuses to hand over the Mudu port border to others so easily."

Seeing Lin Tailai's complacent expression, Zhang Dalang said jokingly, "Sitting in the hall, I met those officials and servants yesterday. How do you feel?"

Senior official Lin sighed: "I found that compared with successfully opening a sub-level, the process of organizing a sub-level seems to be more interesting!
If you are not in a hurry, you should really take your time. "

The Zhang family brothers couldn't understand such a profound truth, but it didn't prevent them from saying together: "Sit in the hall and have a good opinion!"
