Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 365 Quickly and Accurately!
Cheng Jingzhou has had a reputation for talent since he was a child, and his experiences since childhood have made him better at reading people's hearts.

They were just some young minions who were disobedient and tried to provoke him. Naturally, Cheng Jingzhou didn't take them seriously.

Since they want to cause trouble, let's just give them a big one!
Cheng Jingzhou did not come forward, and some of the government officials were under the control of the county captain, so everything in the county government seemed to be normal at present, at least it did not affect the daily work.

Today is the market, which is also the busiest day in the county. There are many people going to the market. There are some small traders, some people nearby, and some farmers who have come from dozens of miles away. They will put out their products at the market. The stall sells eggs or some vegetables.

Stall fees at the market are fixed. Each stall charges a tax ranging from two cents to five cents, which is mainly determined according to the size of the area.

Generally speaking, if you set up a basket and sell some eggs or home-grown vegetables, you will only receive two cents. You will not receive it repeatedly, but only once a day.

There are also some vendors who have fixed stalls. They also set up stalls on this street when it is not a market. They pay taxes on a monthly basis. When accumulated, it is less than a single payment.

Cheng Jingzhou did not leave the county office, but Xie Rongzhao sent his men there, not only to the market, but also to walk around everywhere.

These days, it seems that the county magistrate Cheng Jingzhou has not done much, but is familiar with some local customs and related operations. In fact, he has been sending people to work outside.

The county government has city orders, but collecting taxes is naturally not something he can do alone.

Every time he returned to the market, Wang Xiaoer would come to him and take the initiative to take over the job.

Walking down the street, each of their brothers could earn dozens of pennies each, and the work was easy and much more comfortable than squatting in the county government office.

Moreover, when some small vendors saw them wearing official clothes, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. Some even took the initiative to show their kindness. This one gave vegetables, and that one gave two eggs. In the past two or three days, they had collected all the vegetables. .

Basically you can get meat every time.

Wang Xiaoer and the others are also smart and won't catch just one shop every time. Some vendors may not be able to take turns once a month, so the common people don't have any big complaints, but they will still curse behind their backs. , but I won’t think about finding someone to make the decision.

The city magistrate also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. After one market visit, they could collect about two tons of tax money. They divided one among them, and the remaining one was handed over directly to the superiors.

Of course, they who run errands can also get some other benefits.

The profits they can make are actually from these retail investors. For those small vendors or merchants who pay taxes on a regular monthly basis, they basically can't make anything, because they all have to go to the county government to pay.

This money was basically out of the hands of the city magistrate and went directly into the county government's account books.

However, the city order can still find opportunities to gain some benefits for itself.

For example, some shop owners pay a large amount of taxes. As long as the city magistrate is willing to help, they will pay less, the merchants will be happy, and he, the market maker, can also benefit from it.

This is not limited to money.

For example, sometimes it may be two or three free meals in a restaurant, or two or three pieces of fine cotton cloth, or some rice grains sent to his home, etc.

Although these are not money, they are real benefits.

At noon that day, the city magistrate, Wang Xiaoer and his party came back, carrying another load of money to pay for their business.

The clerk responsible for collecting the money glanced at it without saying anything. After writing it down as usual, the two of them signed and fingerprinted it, and then put the money into the treasury.

These people thought that Magistrate Cheng was no big deal, and they continued to do what they always did.

When it came to the martial arts performance the next day, Wang Xiaoer couldn't get out of bed because he was drunk the night before.

However, Wang Xiaoer didn't take it to heart.Anyway, it won't affect anything if we can't compete once.

But Wang Xiaoer never expected that when he rushed to the county government office at three o'clock in the morning, he realized that everyone looked at him differently.

Wang Xiaoer was a little confused: "No, why are you looking at me like this? What happened?"

"Wang Captou, no, I can't call you Wang Captou now. Didn't you see the announcement posted outside? You have been dismissed. Not only you, but also Magistrate Tiancheng personally watched our competition, Linlinzongsong, just a moment So I sent back more than twenty people."

Wang Xiaoer stared: "What did you say? How is this possible? Drive away so many people at once, where can they find someone else to do errands?"

County Lieutenant Li An happened to hear the commotion and curled his lips and said: "You are just a small government servant. You are not even considered an exile. You dare to make such nonsense here. I think it is too lenient to just dismiss you!"

Following Li An's order, Wang Xiaoer was arrested and imprisoned directly.

Wang Xiaoer was still howling when he was being escorted away, completely unable to understand what was going on.

When he entered the cell, he saw that the city magistrate who had shared money and had drinks with him yesterday had also been arrested.

Only then did Wang Xiaoer realize that something was wrong.

Was it that their profit-making business was noticed?

But even so, it won't put them in jail!

Cheng Jingzhou's strikes were quick and precise, and if he didn't hit, he would just stab him in the head.

As a result, the remaining three classes of government officials all became honest.

Song DaDa was originally just a white servant, but now he was directly filling the position.

Cheng Jingzhou did not dare to let Song DaDa be the head catcher directly. Instead, he selected one of the people recommended by Li An and let him serve as the head catcher.

There were a total of three arrests in Feng County, and the one who replaced Wang Xiaoer was a relative recommended by Li An, named Li Bian.

Li Bian is Li An's clan brother, and he was originally from Feng County. Now that Li An has become an official, he naturally wants to help his clan relatives.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Cheng Jingzhou was also willing to give him this face.

In this way, both Li An and Li were grateful to him, and naturally they moved closer to him.

The reason why Wang Xiaoer was imprisoned was for crimes such as embezzling taxes, squeezing people, and dereliction of duty.

Just being greedy and not having enough tax money can make Wang Xiaoer drink a pot of wine. Now that other things have happened, it is natural that he cannot be spared lightly.

After the Wang family learned about it, they naturally asked around quickly and asked someone to send gifts to County Captain Feng, another County Lieutenant at the same level as Li An.

It's a pity that County Captain Feng didn't dare to take it this time.

Early the next morning, Cheng Jingzhou ordered someone to go to court and hold a public trial for these petty officials who were misbehaving outside!
