Chapter 49 The inside story of the county government
After coming out of the school secretary's office, it was already afternoon, and Lin Tailai returned to the county office.

Hundreds of years later, the old saying is good, the world is not only fighting and killing, but also the worldly way, some things really can't be pushed away, such as the matter of stopping the Nanjing flower boat,
Hushu Pass is [-] to [-] miles away from Suzhou City. This distance is considered a business trip, so you have to report to the county government.

Don't worry about the county magistrate, Master Feng Er will go to say hello, and all Lin Tailai has to do is to say hello to his immediate superior Zhang Liangshu.

Looking at Lin Tailai who walked in, Zhang Liangshu said: "It turns out that you always step into the threshold with your left foot first, but today you come in with your right foot first.

It turned out that you always greeted outside the door first, but today you greeted after entering the door first. "

Lin Tailai: "???"

Is this something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with Zhang Liangshu?
Zhang Liangshu pointed to Lin Tai and said, "This means that you have drifted away and climbed up the high branch of the county magistrate, and you have already started to be impetuous."

Gone are you paralyzed!Lin Tailai was speechless, could it be that Zhang Liangshu was "jealous" when he saw the magistrate protecting himself so much on the Yinma Bridge today?

Without hesitation, Professor Lin responded, "Mr. Zhang, what's the point! The magistrate of the hard-working grain department and running water, I still understand this truth!"

This chapter of Liang Shu also underestimates himself too much. It is impossible to hug anyone's thigh, but it is impossible to hug the thigh of a county magistrate who is about to leave his job. He is not some historical celebrity with a bright future.

Zhang Liangshu nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, your real useful identity now is the Liangke scribe, everything else is false!"

Then Lin Tailai reported, "Currently the pressure is on Changzhou County. The county doesn't need me for the time being. I plan to go to Hushuguan to do something."

Today, the two counties were negotiating at Yinma Bridge. Outsiders looked lonely and didn't know the inside and outside secrets.

But Zhang Liangshu knew all the plans and inside information, and even Zhang Liangshu reported the plan to the county magistrate for Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai's plan was to force Huqiu Xu's family to pay 1000 taels to An Le Tang.

Then An Le Tang laundered the 1000 taels into tax silver and sent it to the county treasury.

Maybe outsiders who don't know how to do it are very confused, is 1000 pairs of Wuxian county government too much?

Last year, Wuxian's quota for money and grain was: 1 taels of gold flower silver, 500 taels of natural white grain, 5000 taels of natural grain grain, and [-] taels of silver from grain grain.

If all of them are replaced by natural colors, the total amount is equivalent to about 40 stones.

Therefore, the 1000 tax silver is short and weak compared to the entire quota. How can it impress the county magistrate?

This requires looking at the problem from another angle. As mentioned earlier, there has always been a culture of tax arrears in Suzhou Prefecture and even Jiangnan.

Then last year, Wu County's assessment standard was 32 shi, but the actual collection was 26 shi, and about [-] shi was owed.

In other words, the amount of money and food that determines Fengzhi County's resignation audit is actually whether it can make up for the 40 shi owed taxes, not the total amount of [-].

The various amounts of money and food are regarded as internal secrets of the county government, and outsiders generally do not know such figures.

This is why the current county government desperately urges all the halls to collect the taxes owed last year.

Then, according to the official color folding ratio of the Ming Dynasty, one stone of grain is converted into two coins of silver, and in turn, 1000 taels is equivalent to five thousand stone grains.

In other words, 1000 taels of silver can be offset by one-tenth of the tax owed of [-] shi. In fact, the details are not that simple, but this is generally the case.

From the point of view of Fengzhi County, if 1000 taels can be obtained from the Xu family in Huqiu, it is equivalent to solving one-tenth of the assessment problems in just a few days.

For officials, 1000 taels of silver may not be so tempting, but few people can refuse to solve one-tenth of the assessment problems.

But there is another problem. The financial and taxation system is here, and the source and whereabouts of money must be registered clearly.

A donation is a donation. It is impossible for someone to just donate some money to the county government and use it as a tax bank to deceive political achievements.

Therefore, Professor Lin proposed a money laundering plan, through An Le Tang, laundering the knocked money into legal and compliant tax money, and distributing it to the county treasury to solve the problem of Feng Zhi County's resignation audit.

The reason why Fengzhi county brazenly sheltered Lin Tailai lies in the above confidential details.

But laymen can only imagine that Lin Tailai is going to blackmail the Xu family, and then promises to share the spoils with the magistrate, so the magistrate protects Lin Tailai for hundreds of silvers!
Regarding another lonely question that outsiders saw, why Changzhou County suddenly gave in, there is also an internal logic.

Lin Tailai went to Changzhou County to sue Xu's family, but Changzhou County refused to accept it. This is the "original sin" of Changzhou County.

Lin Tailai escalated the incident to such an extent that it caused a sensation in the city and could not be covered up, and then he won the full support of the magistrate of Wu County. The "original sin" of Changzhou County may be infinitely magnified.

Why did Changzhou County not accept the complaint? Is it because they wanted to shield the Xu family?
The hall where the Xu family smashed was the hall where there was a conflict with the Shen family, so did Changzhou County work for the Shen family?

The Shen family is the Shen family of Shen Shoufu. Does Changzhou County rely on Shen Shoufu?
If it is infinitely magnified, all of the above issues will be publicly discussed, and even the magistrates with a slightly normal mind will not let it happen.

Under the current system, Shen Shoufu is not the type of Shoufu who dominates the court like Zhang Juzheng, and there are also many opposing forces in the DPRK and China.

Unless the county magistrate is a gambler, it is impossible for him to take such a big scapegoat and get involved in the political struggle of the court.

Therefore, things in the government office are often unpredictable, and those who know are not said, and those who do not know are talking nonsense.

Outsiders don't know, so they can only look at the flowers in a fog, make guesses and spread rumors.And those who know the inside story will spontaneously feel superior.

Now Lin Tailai's choice for Changzhou County is to force the Xu family to pay compensation. Only by doing so can it prove that Changzhou County did not shield the Xu family.

Although the Xu family in Huqiu is a big local family in Changzhou County, Baili Houzhi County is not easy to mess with. As long as they are willing to pay the price, there are also countless ways to deal with the big family. It just depends on whether it is worth it or not.

That's why Lin Tailai told Zhang Liangshu that the pressure is now on Changzhou County.

For the time being, he only needs to wait for the results from Changzhou County, and he can do other things with his hands.

Zhang Liangshu asked strangely: "What are you doing at Hushu Pass? What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Tailai reported: "All the beauties in the flower list in Suzhou united and begged, asking me to go to Hushu Pass to intercept the Nanjing flower boat. I can't refuse."

Zhang Liangshu: "."

I was completely mistaken, what kind of subordinate did I recruit?It's only been a few days in the city, and the friendship is so wide?

At the beginning, he had no hope of Lin's character at all. It didn't matter if he was a bad person. Who can join the society if a decent person?As long as you can hit it.

But he didn't expect Lin Tailai to be so outstanding in all aspects besides being able to fight.

Even his 20-year-old food book has a huge sense of crisis about whether it will be replaced.
