Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 687 The Benefits of Looking Good

  Zhang Xie readily asked people to move money and food to pay taxes. Xia Houyan didn't move. Seeing Fu Tinghan's calm expression, he asked, "Mr. Fu, what if I just don't pay?"

  Fu Tinghan said: "I have no choice."

Xia Houyan sneered and said: "So this method is aimed at honest people like Jingyang? If you pay money, you won't be hurt if you don't pay me? I thought Zhao Shijun would send troops to arrest and kill us who don't pay." It's over."

  Fu Tinghan said: "The amount of tax embezzled is huge, and it is indeed possible to be beheaded, but based on Mr. Xiahou's current family assets, you will not be able to meet that standard even if you owe it all your life."

  Zhang Xie also became curious, "Then the government office has nothing to do with people who owe taxes?"

  Fu Tinghan said with a smile: "That's not true. According to the law, the yamen will invite once and remind you twice. For example, if I come to the door today, I will invite you once. If the head of the household still refuses to pay, the yamen will issue an official letter to urge you.

  Zhang Xie asked: "What if you still don't hand it in?"

"That person will be listed as a dishonest person. Not only will he post an official document to tell the world, but in the future, all household owners who need to go through the yamen to make records for buying and selling houses, fields, and various business qualifications will be damaged. If it is serious, the record will be withheld. If If you keep resisting, maybe you will be arrested and go to jail." Fu Tinghan said: "However, after this series of operations, it will take three to five years, giving the other party enough time to consider and raise taxes. Mr. Zhao is still very tolerant. .”

  Xia Houyan clutched his chest, what a magnanimity, he basically couldn't hear the rest of the words, only heard the first sentence, "We must post an official document to tell the world".

  As a celebrity, who doesn't love fame.

  Even if they are not celebrities, there are no scholars in this era who do not love fame, and businessmen also value credibility. If they are classified as dishonest people, what face do they have to live in this world?

  This is murder!

  Xia Houyan stomped his feet and said, "Zhao Hanzhang kill me!"

  Just like Xia Houyan, because of fear of this decree, many people directly pay their taxes in full, but there are still some people who don’t even need to come to collect collections.

  When he saw Wei Xun sitting respectfully with downcast eyes, the moment he opened his mouth, the other party agreed, without looking at the bill, and directly asked his family members to prepare money and food according to the figures reported by Wei Xing.

  Who would be willing to let someone like Wei Jie talk about sour things like money and food?

  So Wei Jie's collection efficiency is particularly high.

  Zhao Erlang and the others were close, but the person who came to the door looked at the young and handsome faces. Although they looked ugly, they still didn't yell.

  The old official who was waiting behind Zhao Erlang and the others couldn't help but cry secretly.

  When they come to collect collections, they often don’t see the head of the household, and they are always yelled at by people, who obviously say the same thing. Is it because of their different identities?

   But there are no official ranks among those sent here this time. They are just small officials who work in the county government. They are all young boys and girls sent to practice in the Taixue. They have only one thing in common—good looks.

  The old officials glanced at the people who came out to collect money this time, feeling sad, so is it because they are good-looking?

  In the evening of that day, the taxes owed for more than a month were recovered. Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "Sure enough, this era is an era that is especially concerned about appearances."

  Looking at the history books of various dynasties, basically every important person has a description of their appearance, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there are especially many and specific descriptions of people's appearance.

  In some dynasties, some people who were enshrined as marquises may not have their appearance descriptions, but in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even a person with a small reputation would have a large description of his appearance.

  She secretly calculated in her heart that basically everyone who was awarded an official position or title was good-looking.

  Wang Xing, who is currently working under her, looks very ordinary.

Of course, this generally does not mean that he is ugly, but that he looks like an ordinary person. His father, Wang Rong, dislikes him very much. Zhao Hanzhang watched him handle government affairs during this time, and felt that although he did not have poetic talent, he was very talented. A person who does practical things and is good at managing people.

   Such a person is disliked by his father, it must be because he is not good-looking enough.

  Just think about it, if he had Wei Jie's face, even if he didn't have the talent for poetry and prose, he wouldn't be disliked by his father like that.

  How much does Wang Rong dislike him?

He had only two sons, the eldest son was murdered by him when he was nineteen years old, leaving only this concubine Wang Xing, but he would rather adopt Wang Xing to his younger brother who died early, and then adopt an heir from the clan to inherit his own family business, and he is unwilling to hand over the family business to his own son.

  Zhao Hanzhang is now very curious and quietly asked Wang Siniang, "Could this cousin of yours be born of your uncle?"

  Wang Siniang also lowered her voice and said: "Of course yes, although cousin Xing looks average, his eyes are especially beautiful. You can tell that he is from my Wang family at first sight, and his biological mother is also very beautiful."

   "Then how did he grow up like this?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Although I have never seen your uncle's appearance when he was young, but as one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, his beauty is far-reaching."

  Wang Siniang's eyes lit up, she pulled her and said, "I also wondered about this when I was a child, and then I asked my elder brother secretly, and my elder brother took me to meet cousin Xing's uncle."

  Zhao Hanzhang: "How?"

"Cousin Xing is somewhat like him," Wang Siniang sighed, "His biological mother, Mrs. Qiao, came from the countryside. After being brought into the royal family by the uncle, the whole family lived under her, so the uncle often looked down on them, and that's why he didn't bother to be happy. Cousin."

"I didn't think it was wrong for my uncle to do this before. I also felt that the Qiao family's attachment to the daughter who was a concubine was shameless. I didn't want to see such a family more. But after this catastrophe, I saw a lot of life and death on the road. Helpless, I know that they have no backbone to do that, but why are they not forced by life?"

"Since you look down on the Qiao family, why do you want them to follow around and hurt your eyes?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's better to buy some fields for them in the countryside and give them some money so that they can live a good life on their own. Xing is less affected by them, and the relationship between father and son will not be so bad."

  Wang Siniang hummed softly: "Uncle is not willing to part with it, he is very stingy."

  Wang Huifeng, who kept his eyes down as if he couldn't hear, coughed twice.

  Wang Siniang sat up straight instantly and no longer leaned on Zhao Hanzhang.

  Wang Huifeng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Hanzhang, picked up the booklet in his hand and said, "Master, the rest time is over, and it's time for us to go to class."

  Zhao Hanzhang had a headache, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, sir, please tell me."

  Zhao Hanzhang went back to Chen County, and let Wang see that her daughter did not understand her family tree, so she brought her the family tree kept in her ancestral hall and asked her to memorize it.

   She was accidentally seen by Zhao Ming while she was reciting.

   Zhao Ming suddenly remembered that Zhao's teaching to Zhao Hanzhang was still a lot worse.
