Chapter 165: The result of the conjecture is unjudged

Prince Sining is Li Xun's father. If you really want to know what, just ask the escort guards who are guarding Li Xun. Why do you have to send someone here to inquire? It is even more impossible to do anything bad. Naturally, no one will believe the captive.

After some torture, the captive finally couldn't bear it anymore and told everything he knew.

After hearing this, the guards were relieved. It turned out that they were not targeting the master. It happened that there was a place where marbles were produced in Taihu Lake. At first, marbles had an account in the government office. Later, I don’t know what happened, but the account was gone. The booklet in the mansion only wrote the word "stones".

As for what kind of stone, it is not obvious from the booklet. This stone can be sold for money, and there are also copper ore. There are only two words for ore in the account.

The people did not know that there was no account in the government, and it was even more impossible for them to come to report to the officials. Even if they reported it in the past, they had to go to the county first, and the consequences were not to be mentioned.

Marbles are not processed locally, and copper ore is not processed locally and they are transported away. People who are arrested do not know where they are being arrested. It seems very mysterious.

Since the government did not know, it had to be transported secretly. After Zhang Zhong arrived in Shuzhou, the two mines did this.

I have to be lucky tonight, but I was discovered. The arrested people knew not much, but only knew that behind this matter, people from the capital were involved. As for who it was, I don’t know. Some said it was a prince, some said it was a prince, and some said it was a big family.

On the contrary, the arrested person also listened to others' words, so after being arrested, he casually said that the prince wanted to scare people, but he said that he was not good, and he insisted that it was Prince Sining.

After receiving this information, the guard immediately passed it to Zhang Zhong. When Zhang Zhong heard that someone was selling marble and copper mines, he was shocked and hurriedly asked someone to catch the transport team.

As a result, after the escort rushed over, they found that all the people had run away, leaving only dozens of cargo-loaded cars parked there, and the traces on the ground were very messy, and it was nighttime and it was impossible to track them.

It was wrong at this time. How did they know? When they came back and continued to question the arrested person, they realized that the transporter was very careful. Every time a scout was sent out, they had to go back within the specified time. If there was no news for more than half a quarter of an hour, it would be a problem. They would rather make a mistake than take risks.

After this person exceeded the time, the people there found something wrong and sent a horse to approach carefully. After seeing the torch light here, they immediately went back to report. As a result, everyone ran away, leaving only goods worth 6,000 guan.

Things are all inferred from what the arrested person said.

Zhang Zhong nodded at this time and said suddenly: "I understand, I understand. No wonder the local tax revenue is getting smaller and smaller, and they are all transported and sold to other places. Check it. I don't care who is behind the scenes. Whenever I encounter it, check it. Send someone back and tell Xiaobao and Juanjuan, then transfer people to come over and I will go and see where the marble and copper ore are produced."

After giving the order, Zhang Zhong returned to the tent to sleep. The guards arranged patrol shifts one by one, and did not dare to be careless at all.

In fact, Zhang Zhong really wanted to chase after him now to see how the stones were dug there, but when he came out, his son and daughter-in-law told him that if he encountered danger, don’t rush over and wait until the person got his hands. It doesn’t matter if he is more stable, he can’t put himself in danger.

Zhang Zhong was very obedient and he could not be left out of the whole family. He didn't know what would happen if he really caught up with the place. If hundreds of people surrounded him and attacked him, he would be finished once he died.

When I came, I rushed for a day, and it didn't take too much time for the people who went back to report the news. I changed my three horses and returned to the mansion in just one and a half hours.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not asleep at this time. The two of them were making generators, just wrapping magnets with copper coins. In addition to making the light bulb light up, they could also electrolyze something. The easiest thing was to electrolyze water. Once formed, it could provide oxygen for the hospital to use, and save people at critical moments.

This job is not easy to do, and there is no way to grasp the density and electricity of the entanglement. I can only do one first to see if it is OK.

I just finished wrapping one, and before I could test it, the guard came back. After telling the matter, Zhang Xiaobao arranged more people to go over and looked at the generator on the table and was no longer interested.

"Xiaobao, which prince do you think it would be?" Wang Juan guessed for a while and had to ask Zhang Xiaobao who was also thinking.

Zhang Xiaobao looked up at Wang Juan and said, "No prince is there. Several princes and the grandson of the throne were all shown to Li Longji. Who dared to make small moves at this time? Don't want to live anymore? It's probably a certain aristocratic family or several aristocratic families, otherwise it might be a certain county prince.

In this way, it is not impossible for the prince and his family to unite. Who knows, it’s enough to get caught and ask. What should I do? At worst, I can hand over the matter to Li Longji and let him handle it himself."

"Then aren't you afraid that Li Longji will complain about us when he really faces his son?" Wang Juan asked worriedly.

"You have to tell him secretly. If you want to make it public, the royal family will also have shame. I now understand why they didn't continue to do it after making a small move without success. The reason why they no longer cause trouble for their father is because they have never discovered this secret.

They thought that providing more taxes to my father this year would make him neglect. Unfortunately, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, so my father insisted on going there for a walk, and he met him.

I guess this is the case. At the beginning, there were more taxes here because of the discovery of marble, that is, marble ore and copper ore. The fewer ones were dug before, so the tax collected was more than usual, and it was not taken too seriously.

The officials at that time may not want to be greedy, or they may have been careful and sold this matter to others. When he gets the benefits, the new officials will be controlled by others. After all, an official does not have enough staff and cannot do too many things. Moreover, there is no way to see what is good to produce in the account. How much can a stone be worth?"

Zhang Xiaobao spoke while using a pen to draw a schematic diagram of Wang Juan on paper. There were many aspects of them, and some were not clear and question marks were placed on it.

Wang Juan picked up the pen and clicked it on the picture, saying, "Then why do you have to lower the rent and tax? Are they still reluctant to leave the money for selling marble and copper ore? If I were them, I would let the rent and tax equal."

Wang Juan felt that the person behind her was stupid. Do you really think that it would be fine if you pay less tax? Now, you have been targeted. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send Zhang Xiaobao's father over, just to deal with people.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the picture with his eyes and knocked his hands on the table. After a while, he said, "There are several possibilities. The first is that people who do things are so stupid. Basically, this situation is not easy to occur.

The second possibility is that people need money in urgent need, but they really can't give it. They want to survive this period of time before they can talk about it. They think it's safe until the secret is exposed. The entire Shuzhou state has been bribed. What can a governor do if he comes to? How many governors would think that my father is wandering around like this?

First, threaten and then compromise. For example, what my father encountered will naturally be easy to handle. On the contrary, people don’t know two mines and think they are stone production. For example, my father, then give me some face first. This year there are too many taxes and everything will be easy to handle."

"I understand. Often, they should take out the profits of two mines, which means that there are more stones in stone minerals. The year is good, and then give your father an explanation. But as soon as we come, we will start to help local governments develop condoms. If this happens, there will be a lot of rents and taxes, so they don't have to take out any money.

They have a little thought and secretly transport the ore out. As long as we cannot find it, they can continue to make a fortune. It seems that we are really the nemesis of bad people. Life is all fate."

After Zhang Xiaobao mentioned it, Wang Juan analyzed some of the contents.

Zhang Xiaobao laughed twice, "Of course, isn't your special job just doing this? There are only those who don't want to catch or cannot catch, and there are those who can't catch or catch the wrong ones. In fact, it's all our fault. We must be good people. Now it's troublesome. It turns out that there are more bad people than good people.

Also, the third point is that there are more forces that share this interest. Although the rent and tax are only tens of thousands of pounds less, when it is really divided, it will be enough for the people of various forces to spend money, and no one wants to make less money. As a result, the rent and tax revenue cannot be increased.

The fourth is that the profit is too great. For example, the copper content of copper ore is high. In the past, a lot of waste stones could be dug out when digging. Now it is all good copper ore. If the waste stone is sold less, the rent will be less. They do not want to give up this part of the profit. The reverse account is a name for producing stones.

There can be more or less stones. For them, the most important thing to complain about is the governor who raised the rent and taxes before. If he did not raise the rent and taxes, how could such a troublesome thing happen?"

Zhang Xiaobao can understand other people's mood, money, no one wants it, but he cannot just understand it. If he changes to an emperor, he may turn a blind eye. Isn't it just renting taxes? His own family can improve the living standards of the local people and satisfy the thoughts of the court.

But the current emperor is Li Longji, and Zhang Xiaobao has to offend people even though he knows that he can offend people. It is better to offend others than to offend Li Longji.

So what you have to do now is turn a blind eye and aim to see who will be unlucky. In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for your own family to be unlucky.

As he thought about it, Zhang Xiaobao stopped knocking on the table, but changed to knocking on his face. When Wang Juan saw it, he understood, and Zhang Xiaobao was going to plot against others again.

Wang Juan was once again sad for Zhang Xiaobao's opponent. Can't bear it for two years? He insisted on committing crimes against the wind, and he used such inferior means. He often walked by the river, so how could he not wear his shoes? Not to mention that he met Zhang Xiaobao's father today, even if he didn't meet him, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The Zhang family's inner courtyard has been separated and found out that the local people have been kept in various places. With so many inner courtyards, can't they find out the situation? They will definitely be caught in two years and have not run away.

"Xiaobao, I'm thinking now, what kind of things will happen in the process of struggle?" Wang Juan seemed very excited. She loved to watch Zhang Xiaobao take action. As long as Zhang Xiaobao moves, it would definitely be irresistible to the other party.

"It's nothing yet. When our people pass by, we will find that there are empty people there, and the mines cannot be dug, and they have all been filled. If I were to do it, I could even open a paddy field on it, buy seedlings from other places, and never show up again."

Zhang Xiaobao is familiar with such things, to be precise, he has done a lot before.

Wang Juan thought about it and felt it made sense, and asked again: "Then they just avoided it, but do you want the mine?"

"Why don't you want it? As I said, now that people are farming, can you dare to dig it out? It's just soil, water and rice seedlings, which can be done with money. If you dig, many people will come to stop it, and officials will disagree, and even impeachment will appear in the court immediately.

Even if you have deep roots and have survived them, and you are not afraid of the people. If you force them to dig them out, someone will report to the court in advance that they have discovered the marble ore and copper ore, and estimate the output. This thing can be estimated or estimated less, and more. Then how much should you pay for my father’s tax this year?

It is filled with expensive stones. How much effort does it take to dig it in? It is completely different from the estimate. My father can’t submit a note? It says that the copper ore and marble mine here need to be cleaned first, and the court will definitely agree.

Then? We were so happy that we went to dig. After digging, we suddenly found that someone had dug here before. After a while, the news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. The most appropriate statement was that for my own selfish interests, my father told the court to clean up first and mine hard.

My father immediately said that he was sorry to the lord and the people. He may not be beheaded. After all, my family has the right (ritual) and it is absolutely fine to be sent to the public. There is no need to expect to go to Lingnan. Even if he goes, he can't let my father go to Luzhou. I guess Li Longji will bring my father to Sichuan for his reputation.

If you have the chance to go and see it in the future, it is absolutely not possible now. Therefore, this matter cannot be solved in a short period of time, so wait."

Zhang Xiaobao told him about the method he had to face such a form. If he were to do this, he would do this without any intimidation.

Wang Juan was really convinced by listening to Zhang Xiaobao's guess, or Zhang Xiaobao's actions. He was really convinced. He was too smart.

Even though she knew, she was unwilling to accept it. Why did she have to be treated like this in the past? She was depressed and suddenly realized that the current statements were all Zhang Xiaobao's own ideas. Regardless of whether others could think of the same, just by Zhang Xiaobao could figure it out, there would be a way to deal with it.

"Xiaobao, don't tell me there is no way to do it. If you wait, it will be embarrassing. You're also an international fraudster."

"Why is it embarrassing? Are you still from the second place? Do you have a way? Just wait. I really hope they farm on it. It's good to farm. You can set up a special experimental field and send someone to check the changes in the grain crops for twelve hours a day."

Zhang Xiaobao squeezed his eyes at Wang Juan and said, "I hope they are smarter and farm on it as you said."
