Chapter 18 What's wrong with this country?
As a new rising star in the community in Suzhou City, Dr. Lin, who sits at Hengtang Fish Market, has recently been in the limelight in the circle of Jianghu in the west of the county.

Following the miracle of beating the head of the Heyi Hall with two fists, there was another story of two iron whips unilaterally torturing more than a dozen rioting boat people.

Don't look at the stories in the novels, there are fierce generals who can defeat ten thousand at every turn, but in reality it is two different things.

A pair of more than a dozen head-to-head, and the real one-sided abuse is very amazing in reality. Such a record can definitely be called a fierce general!

For a while, Lin Tailai's reputation shook the upper and lower reaches of the Xujiang River, and it was reflected in the fish market that the income from fees increased sharply.

On this day, old man Tang reported to Lin Tailai: "In the past ten days since the establishment and deepening of the restructuring, the fee has increased by more than three taels, and it is not a problem to increase by more than ten taels a month."

Originally, ten taels of silver were collected in a month, half of which was handed over to the government and half to the hall.

An increase of more than ten taels is equivalent to more than doubling the increase, and the results are already considered very good.

Dr. Lin's main focus today was not income, but he asked, "Has there been a name like Xiao Yuchi recently?"

He has always wanted to cancel the nickname of Xiao Fengxian, after all, there is always a little bit of derogatory meaning.

The iron whip was used as a weapon before, and there are also considerations in this regard. The iron whip is easily reminiscent of Yuchi Jingde. Maybe Xiao Fengxian has become Xiao Yuchi?
Old man Tang said vaguely: "Maybe there is. A new name always needs time to ferment."

Then the old man Tang asked again: "Please sit in the hall and show me how to deal with these newly added fees?"

This is a very central issue, and only Lin Tailai himself can make a decision.

Lin Tailai gave instructions without hesitation: "First, half of it belongs to me; second, of the remaining half, the three of you each receive a share, tentatively one or two per month.

Third, the remaining money will be used to continue recruiting manpower, first recruiting four or five to enrich the fish market. "

In just a few words, Dr. Lin explained the expenses clearly.

"Sit in the library and think about it carefully, is there something missing in the expenditure items?" Old man Tang reminded.

Dr. Lin thought and thought, but still couldn't remember, "What expenses are missing?"

The old man Tang said helplessly: "Did you forget to sit in the hall? You still have a hall above you, so you didn't think about handing in part of it?"

Dr. Lin immediately asked in amazement: "Why should I distribute the illegal money I collected with my ability to the hall?"

The fish market has been established here for a long time, don't others know that they charge extra money?But why was Lin Tailai the only one who succeeded?

This is the value of knowledge. Knowing how to carry out standardized management and standardized operation, this money can only be earned by Lin Tailai, which is the embodiment of personal value.

Old man Tang was speechless, the awareness of this sitting in the hall is too high, higher than three or four floors.

He reminded again: "According to the rules of the hall, recruiting newcomers must be approved by the hall."

Lin Zuoguan said without raising his eyes: "I am recruiting members of the Hengtang Fish Market, and I don't need the hall to pay settlement fees, so this matter is not under the supervision of the hall."

Old man Tang really wanted to say, this is why the name "Xiao Fengxian" is more popular, while "Xiao Yuchi" is not popular.

After calculating the amount of black money, Dr. Lin felt that the problem of county examination fees should be solved.I don't know what kind of regulations are in Zhangliangshu now.

There is still more than a month until the county test this year. If it is not done this year, it will have to wait another year.

In the end, Lin Tailai gave instructions: "In the future, there is no need to send another person through the hall to deliver the fees handed over to the county government!

Starting from this month, the fees will be sent directly from the fish market to the county government, and tomorrow I will go to the county government to make a trip. "

After everything was finalized, Dr. Lin, an experienced film reader, knew that the crisis still existed, and said: "Although the current situation is very good, there are still two hidden worries.

First, the fish sellers have no other place to go for a while, so they will continue to endure the additional fees charged by our Hengtang fish market.

If there are other channels and markets where fish can be sold and the fees are lower than ours, these fish sellers may not come to Hengtang Fish Market. This is an external concern.

So you must pay attention to inquire about the news. If there is a sign of grabbing the market, we will make efforts as soon as possible to persuade the opponent to close the market.

Second, as our fish market is booming, there may be people at the entrance who are jealous. Although we are not afraid, we have to guard against it. This is an internal worry! "

Old man Tang nodded and wrote down one by one.

There are seven prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Suzhou Prefecture. Generally speaking, Suzhou City is actually the prefectural city of Suzhou Prefecture.

Fucheng and its surrounding areas are divided into two Fuguo counties, Wu County and Changzhou County.

Wu County is roughly in the west and south, Changzhou County is roughly in the north and east, and Lin Tailai belongs to Wu County.

From Hengtang Town to Xumen, and then to the county government of Wu County near Xumenli, it is only more than ten miles away.

Lin Tailai set off early the next morning and arrived at the Yaqian Street of the county government in the morning.

Yamens all over the world look similar, and Yaqian Street has the same style and appearance, which is lackluster.

Outside the gate of the county government is still the classic horoscope wall, which is covered with various notices and crowded with people to watch.

Dr. Lin clasped his hands, and the crowd friendly gave him a wide passage, allowing Dr. Lin to easily go directly to the bottom of the list.

After reading for a while, Dr. Lin found the news he wanted.

The county official ordered that a batch of cases will be heard in three days, and the case catalog includes the sensational filial daughter's revenge case.

Afterwards, he didn't have to stay outside and walked directly into the gate of the county government office, but the second gate was not so easy to enter.

Lin Tailai reported the name of Zhang Liangshu, and also reported the name of paying taxes to the county and paying the bank to the treasury, so he was able to enter the county government.

If it was just a few days after crossing, Dr. Lin didn't even have this title.Now that he can find the relevant names and enter the county government, it can be regarded as a slight improvement in his status.

The standard equipment of local bullies these days is the so-called "going in and out of the government to take money, grain and lawsuits". The premise is that they can go in and out of the government, otherwise there will be no follow-up.

The main layout of county government offices all over the world is generally like this. The middle road is the lobby, six rooms, and the back hall, and the east courtyard is the county magistrate's court, called the left hall.

There is another reason why Zhang Liangshu's public house is not in the middle court, but in the county magistrate's left hall in the east court.

In ordinary counties, the magistrates are mostly decorations, and the county magistrates assign jobs at will, without any actual power, but it is different in the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because money and food in the south of the Yangtze River are really important to the wife, taxes and taxes in the southeast are the lifeblood of the imperial court. In order to urge and supervise money and grain more efficiently, the imperial court specially set up a county magistrate to manage the grain.

In the government office, Guanliang Tongju was set up, and Guanliang County Cheng not only accepted the leadership of the county magistrate, but also was responsible for Guanliang Tongju.

However, the government government can be responsible to the Jiangnan governor upwards, so around the crucial money and grain work in the Jiangnan area, a unique system of combining different departments has been formed.

Therefore, the county magistrates of the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are really different from the county magistrates elsewhere, and it is definitely not a decoration.

Corresponding to the official class, the grain department was separated from the household house.The Liang Branch had a lot of dealings with the county magistrate, so the public house was located in the east courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a person being pushed down under the steps of the judgment hall. Two government servants were holding water and fire sticks and were taking turns beating him.

The beaten person on the ground couldn't even raise his head, and he couldn't even scream. He really didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Lin Tailai took a few glances, and found that Zhang Liangshu was standing in front of the east wing, watching the yamen servant beating someone with a blank expression.

So Lin Tailai walked along the courtyard wall, went around to Zhang Liangshu, and saluted with fists together.

Seeing Lin Tailai, Zhang Liangshu said "Come in and talk", then turned and entered the room.

Lin Tailai followed him in, and asked curiously, "Why was that person in the courtyard beaten?"

Zhang Liangshu replied: "That man is the head of Shanyi Hall, on his site, the tax arrears amounted to [-]% last year, and this year's spring collection of tax arrears has no results.

So the second master became ruthless and said that he would be charged with concealing money and food, and he might be beaten to death here! "

The second master in the mouth of the people in the yamen refers to the county magistrate, and the first master is of course the county magistrate.

Hearing Zhang Liangshu's explanation, Lin Tailai suddenly felt a bit sad.

Sure enough, I still have to take the imperial examination, otherwise even if I become the head of the hall, I still don't feel safe.

When dealing with tax arrears, the county government of the Qing Dynasty directly arrested the deities of the households who owed taxes, tortured them and showed them to the public, but this small government of the Ming Dynasty could only be incompetent and furious.

What's wrong with this country? I asked about it, I was thinking, and I took pills. Is there anything wrong with using these three-character scriptures in Daming!
But specifically speaking, it is a bit unusual for the county magistrate to deal with the dog's legs to death for the sake of tax arrears.

In Dr. Lin's perception, this is not in line with Daming's culture of tax arrears, and the normal gameplay is not so manic.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Tailai, he is here for business.

Asked Zhang Liangshu: "I came to the county government today to pay the Hengtang fish market tax."

Zhang Liangshu opened the voucher, and then said: "You send the tax money to the county treasury, and then give me the voucher when you get it back."

Lin Tailai added: "By the way, I would also like to ask Mr. Zhang about the county examination mentioned earlier."

Zhang Liangshu asked back: "Half a month has passed, why hasn't the An Le Hall planted a flag in Yidu?"

Lin Tailai resolutely evaded and said: "I don't know what Master Lu thinks, I'm just in charge of the fish market."

Zhang Liangshu scolded: "I am asking you now, and I want you to tell the reason!"

Lin Tailai then replied: "Probably Hall Master Lu is afraid of the Shen family, so he moves slowly, maybe he wants to delay the response."

Zhang Liangshu sneered and said, "If you refuse to work, you still want to ask for a place in the county test?"

Lin Tailai replied: "The hall master doesn't want to do anything, what can I do? But if I can pass the county test, I will definitely go through fire and water!"

Zhang Liangshu really couldn't understand: "Why are you so obsessed with the number of places in the county examination? Are you still wishful thinking to pass the government examination and the Taoist examination to get a fame?"

Dr. Lin said with emotion after experiencing the vicissitudes of life: "The end of the universe is the public examination. If you don't go ashore, you will have no sense of security in your life!"

Although Zhang Liangshu couldn't understand it, he understood the "sense of security" in the end, and said, "If it's only for the sense of security, there are other ways, such as entering the government office as an official."

Lin Tailai said euphemistically: "The imperial examination is still the right way."

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is said to advance in three ways, referring to the three ways of imperial examinations, schools, and officials.

But in the middle and late stages, only the imperial examination is the right path, and the others are miscellaneous, and the treatment in all aspects is extremely different.

Zhang Liangshu said: "Don't you know? Officials can also take part in the imperial examination, changing from a miscellaneous stream to a clear stream."

Lin Tailai: "!!!"

Calm down, this Zhang Liangshu is best at drawing big cakes!
