Chapter 30 The sharks smelled bloody

Shi Kefa is very busy.

He was asking about the price of grain, cloth, and all prices related to people's livelihood. Not only that, he even invited tax collectors at the market to drink tea and ask about the tax revenue in Lantian County.

The tax officials in the market targeted the small vendors. No matter what you sell or how much you sell, as long as they are owned, they all need to pay two copper coins. The tax collector is also lazy. He throws a big basket at the tax collection point and allows the small vendor to throw copper coins into the basket and two copper coins, and then takes a red chip from the signboard.

Shi Kefa watched for a long time but didn't see anyone cheating.

The tax collector looked at Shi Kefa with some disgust and said, "Don't worry, even if no one looks at him, no one will leak it. These two money is used to build rain, sunshades, transport waste, and the cost of cleaning the streets. It will be good for them to build early. If there is too much money, two toilets will be built nearby.

Their open-air stalls will become numbered semi-open-air shops, and they will be able to operate them for a long time in the future, and only fools will escape this tax."

Shi Kefa's expression was solemn.

Yun Zhao would definitely ignore such small things. This shows that there are a large number of very capable minor officials under Yun Zhao. A person who can manage a huge market in an orderly and constantly improves is just a minor official who manages ten people.

The tax collector ran away somehow.

When Shi Kefa looked over, he realized that an ugly young man in blue shirt was walking over from the other side of the street.

While walking, I greeted the merchants on both sides of the street, and seemed to be very familiar with every merchant here.

When passing by the pork stall, he would carefully check the pork, while the strong butcher seemed trembling, smiling while watching the ugly young man in blue cut a few pieces of pork with a butcher knife and nodded. Then the butcher stood up straight and began to boast about his good pork.

"Zheng Tu, if there are insects or pigs that die of illness dare to sell them, your family's ancestral business will end up in prison, don't say I didn't say anything in front."

Although this man in blue was young and ugly, he spoke majestic. Zheng Tu, who was half fatter than him, just straightened his waist and bent down again.

"The pork today and the pork a few days ago were all good. Cut me two pounds of fat, go back to refine oil, eat oil residue, cabbage buns."

Hearing the man in green say this, Zheng Tu immediately said at the top of his voice: "Liu Li wants to have two pounds of good fat meat, come and buy it, it's really good pork--"

The man in green laughed and scolded twice, took the fat pork tied with a straw rope from Zheng Tu, settled the accounts with the butcher, and then came to the tax point with a hanging of pork.

He kicked his foot and placed it on the bamboo basket next to the table and said to the tax collector: "Calculate it, you know the consequences of not meeting the money."

The tax collector hurriedly said, "I counted it, and I have more than a dozen extra coins."

The man in green looked at the tax collector coldly and said, "What I said is that money is equal. If there is less, it will not work. If there is more, it will be better for others. We are the government and we don't lack money. As long as the rules are ruled, do you understand?"

The tax collector who was still arrogant just now, who was no one in his eyes immediately picked up a bunch of money from the basket and hurriedly asked along the street...

The inner captain carrying a hanging of fat pork stopped a man in ragged clothes and pushed a wheelbarrow and asked Wen Yan why he was so down and whether anyone owed his porter money, so he had no food and clothing.

"I just don't have a wife, not money!"

The man who was asked turned into a pig's liver and became a little angry.

"The poor woman is sewing all over the street, so you can't sew your crotch? It's so dark that it looks good?"

"Oh, my crotch is broken, I said why is it so cool? Hehe, go now, go now, but, do you think there will be a woman who falls in love with me because of my crotch? "

"Get out of your mother's egg..."

Shi Kefa saw the black, thin and ugly man in blue raise his leg and kick the porter who was one head taller than him, which made everyone laugh, and his expression was a little dull.

"This is the government-"

Shi Kefa, who was soaked in sweat, had his hands holding the teacup and stormed with blue veins.

Such a scene should have appeared in the capital at the foot of the emperor, in the hometown of saints, in the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, and in the capital where thousands of sails compete and merchants gather.

Now, the scene that Shi Kefa most wanted to see actually appeared in a robber's nest.

"No doubt, this is just the daily routine of Lantian County."

A beautiful blue and white porcelain teapot appeared in front of Shi Kefa. At the same time, several screens naturally isolated his table into an independent space. A pair of slender and fair hands picked up the teapot and injected new tea into his new tea cup.

Shi Kefa looked at the orange and clear tea soup in front of him and whispered: "Are you a man or a ghost?"

"I am still managing personnel and affairs now, so I am naturally a human, not a ghost!"

"I once heard that a gentleman would not drink the water from the thief spring, and would not accept the food given by the stolen spring. He abandoned the emperor and the way of Confucian scholars. He served the thief as the lord, and ate the flesh and blood of the thief. Are you ashamed?"

Lu Xiangsheng came to the opposite side of Shi Kefa, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "You have also seen that the taxes in Lantian County were given by the people themselves, and there was no oppression, no tax collectors entered the household in the middle of the night, no old man crossed the wall, and no old woman was in the army.

There are many tigers, leopards and poisonous insects in the Qinling Mountains. People went down the mountain to eat their own soil, and they did not want to join the tigers, leopards and poisonous insects. There were no snake catchers who till poisonous insects. There were also lands, houses for those who till farm, men farmed, women weaved, craftsmen guarded the fire, merchants bear the road, soldiers took the battle outside the territory, and each performed their duties in this world. If it was a thief nest, Lu Xiangsheng wished that all the places in the Ming Dynasty would be thief nests."

"In this way, what is the Holy Emperor?

Although the king regards his ministers as grass, and his ministers regard him as enemies, the emperor is not stupid, but is just blinded by the traitor. Our ministers are just supporting the court, rectifying the chaos, and returning me to the bright and bright sunny days. This is how to be a minister, instead of dealing with the thief and harming the world of Daming.”

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Shi Kefa's face showing sadness, he spread his hands and said, "A family has been beheaded by the emperor. Oh, if Xian hadn't been running around in many ways, he might have to go through the punishment of beheading in half before his soul could return to his misty."

Shi Kefa sighed and said, "Can life and death change Brother Jiandou's ethics?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "There is a great horror between life and death, why not?"

Shi Kefa picked up the teacup and invited Lu Xiangsheng to drink it. After the cup of tea was finished, he put the teacup on the table and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "When the war is coming, Brother Jiandou must not show mercy."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "If Brother Xian has a good opportunity to kill me, don't hesitate."

Shi Kefa agreed with a smile.

Lu Xiangsheng said again: "I can be happy and congratulated after hearing Xian's success."

Shi Kefa sighed and said, "One person, one servant, and a donkey can do very little to take office in Nanjing. If Brother Jiandou can help me, he will definitely achieve something big in Nanjing."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "It's hard, it's even more difficult. Yingtian Mansion is more silly than Shuntian Mansion. Xianzhi's promotion is easy, but it's too difficult to do things."

"Is Lantian County really worthy of your nostalgia?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "I am a human being, so I naturally have to live in the world for a long time and cannot stay in the ghost world for a long time."

Shi Kefa angrily said: "Has the world of Ming Dynasty become a ghost?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

When he saw Shi Kefa, he was angry again. Lu Xiang raised her and held Shi Kefa's sleeve and said, "You have only seen the merchant land in Lantian County. A certain family will take you to see the real Lantian County."

Shi Kefa laughed silently and said, "I want to go to the military aircraft to see if it is possible?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Phoenix Mountain Camp is not far away."

"Can a certain family want to meet the literary demons there?"

"Xu Shan Chang swept his bed and waited. If Xianzhi wanted to, he could also arrange it when meeting Zun's family in Lantian County."

Shi Kefa sighed and said, "It's better not to see Yun Zhao!"

Just as Lu Xiangsheng and Shi Kefa were reminiscing about the past in a small teahouse, Yun Zhao's large study was crowded with people.

Not only is the money, but Yang Xiong and his team are here, but one of the eight gentlemen in the academy is here, and even Zhou Guoping, who has not yet taken office in Qingshui County, is here.

The big study room was filled with people and messy people, and everyone recommended Shi Kefa's subordinates to Yun Zhao.

"Zhang Feng, male, a fourth-grade student of Yushan Academy, is from Yingtianfu. He once served as a clerk by Gu Yanwu for a year. During the locust plague in Shanxi, he demonstrated his organization and dispatch ability to everyone, and he can be a confidant clerk of Shi Kefa."

"Zhang Feng failed. This person is lazy and quick-witted. Although he is very handsome, he is not good at expressing himself. Unless he gets along for a long time, he will not discover his strengths. To become a clerk of Shi Kefa, he needs to be accepted by Shi Kefa in a short time..."

"Tan Boming, male, a third-grade student of the Upper College of Yushan Academy, is from Suizhou. This person is thoughtful and skillful, and has the ability to adapt to changes. During his treatment of locusts with Huang Zongxi, the secretary-general evaluated this person as the top.

The most rare thing is that when he went out of Shanxi with Huang Zongyi, he did not set out from Shaanxi, but was simply pulled out from among the refugees by Huang Zongxi in Shanxi. Therefore, I think this person can appear next to Shi Kefa as soon as possible."

"Zhou Guoping, female..."

"Get out, do you think you can go to Yingtian Mansion by removing your buck teeth? Can you seduce Shi Kefa?"

"I can be a servant!"

"What should you do if you are arrested by Shi Kefa to serve in bed?"

"You - without women, you don't look like a refugee!"

"Bring your wife..."

"I'll kill you!"

Yun Zhao lay on the table, holding his chin with one hand, staring at the room with an unknown person.

He didn't understand why these people were so excited after Shi Kefa came to Lantian County!

Especially when these people knew Shi Kefa’s situation, they were like sharks smelling blood, swimming out of their own world one by one, and began to make a fuss around Shi Kefa…

After listening to these people's messy suggestions, Yun Zhao keenly discovered that the eternal opportunity to intervene in Jiangnan finally appeared.
