Chapter 81: Recite Two Lines of Poems
"Forget it! I'm just angry and just talking casually. Don't take it to heart. I'm wearing a public uniform. Even the true text of magic power, soul and thoughts are imprisoned in my body, and I can't even use any tricks."
Tang Mo sighed, looked up at the partition on the second floor, his eyes as if he wanted to see a flower on it.
Xie Yunyan pondered for a moment: "The accounts in the yamen have always been a bad debt. If you hadn't used the reasons to promote the prevalence of tobacco and widely planted, harvested and sold by the people, and there were countless merchants in Xiangyin in the past. The business tax was collected by conscience, and there were still a large amount of money. I don't know where the money was squeezed out."
Tang Mo felt much more relaxed when he heard his true body talking about his own strokes and smiled and said, "Isn't that true? I didn't expect that Xiangyin's territory is really a treasure land, and there are so many tobacco that the people use for private use. Perhaps because the foundation has been laid, I just used a little effort, and the next thing was a natural thing."
Xie Yunyan remembered his name and couldn't help laughing: "The people from the provincial capital Tobacco Bureau have come down several times, but they can't get the handle of private cigarettes. As the name of a mountain dog, they only caught the tobacco planted by a few old hunters guarding the mountain. They still couldn't get the earth cigarettes on the table. From this, it can be seen that Xiangyin Xin County is tied together by the profits of private cigarettes, including many foreign forces like Shuiyue'an, which have very rigid backends..."
Tang Mo nodded and responded, "Yes, yes! As far as I know, many of the jungles in the ten directions are big landlords. Now everyone is smarter, and it is becoming more and more difficult to put money on seals. Shuiyue's houses are mixed up with private cigarettes and changed mulberry to tobacco. I guess it was because of the high profits in it. I am confident that by levying taxes on private cigarettes, I can all eliminate the accounts of the yamen houses!"
Xie Yunyan thought for a while and shook her head and said, "Don't! Private cigarettes are just starting out in the Xiangyin realm. Although the transaction volume is quite large, the tobacco burdens shipped by private people are tens of thousands of stones and tens of thousands of stones, which does not have much magnet traction and absorption effect on the surrounding areas."
"As far as I know, people from the Xiangyin Chamber of Commerce were hit by the Tobacco Bureau in the provincial capital. In order to disperse the risks, they have been dispersed to adjacent ez, Ganzhou, Guizhou, and even arranged in the deep mountains and forests of Qianzhou. It will take a few years before the seedling of private cigarettes can grow."
Tang Mo was not a fool either, and sighed: "I understand! Let the new branches grow wildly, support their trunks, and prune their branches so that the branches will not be too big to suppress the stems. But in this way, private cigarettes cannot be collected, so where can I open source to settle the accounts?"
Xie Yunyan pondered for a moment and shook her head and said, "I have no choice for the time being. However, if you really want to sit firmly and remove the word "Agent foreman of the Household House" in the middle, it is best not to think about collecting taxes and paying more attention to Shangguan, and to deal with all the foremen of the three classes and six rooms. You should also focus on preferential treatment and support. Officialdom is also a place where people's relationships and worldly affairs are instructive!"
Tang Mo was a little dissatisfied at first. When the real body recited two poems on the spot to enlighten him, he immediately remembered the elder's personal experience: "That was also a transitional figure, the result of compromise between all parties, but he had just settled his position."
Xie Yunyan then showed a sincere smile: "Winning and defeating military strategists are often the case. To endure humiliation and burdens are a man! You are so capable, collecting taxes everywhere, and it is easy to offend people. Not to mention that no one in the yamen will remember your goodness. At most, you are a capable official! On the contrary, you should maintain the relationship between Shangguan, colleagues, and subordinates. Even if there is a problem with the account of the household house, can you, the newly appointed newcomer, take it?"
"Don't treat the people above, the people above, as fools! According to the current system of the court, it has almost won over the smartest group of people in the world! Some things can be said to be broken, and some things can be killed and they will just do it!"
Tang Mo understood this and showed a "knowing!" look. Then he stood up and said goodbye, hurriedly left the "Hunhu Jishi" medicine shop.
Xie Yunyan felt that the identity of Xinglin master was more decent. There were too many women in the garment store and the powdery atmosphere was too strong, which was a bit unbeautiful. The porridge and oil utensil store was too hot, and people were all in the sauce-flavored pot, which was too urban.
Unexpectedly, since the captain Tang Mo was named by the county chief clerk and the position of household house chief, every move was in the eyes of others and those who were interested.
It was obviously the busiest time for the household registration book, but the foreman took a break from his busy schedule to run to Xiaonanmen to meet a rejuvenation skill who had recently risen in Xinglin. Even if he was injured, it would be inappropriate.
Mingshi Zhen Tang Di still didn't say a word about this. He was so arrogant to the county chief clerk, and he didn't take this matter seriously at all. Even to the old man in the yamen, Tang Mo's house in charge of the household was simply roasted on the stove. If it were another person, he would have politely declined or even refused.
Unexpectedly, after returning to the yamen, Tang Mo, the acting foreman of the household house, looked at the progress of counting the account books, nodded slightly, sealed the account books casually, scanned the deputy foreman present, and the left and right deputy of the deputy foreman, and suddenly smiled.
"The dew is heavy late at night, and you've been busy until now, so it's really hard. Why not let me be the organizer, please invite you to the Xiaonanmen Porridge and Oil Store for a good meal."
Speaking of this, some people couldn't help but laugh. What an important position is the foreman of the household house? It can be said that the entire yamen's money bags are tied on the belt of the foreman of the household house. Who doesn't want to go up and sit in this high-powered seat, how could it be bought by a mere meal?
Tang Mo added calmly: "I specially asked my boss to prepare iron pot roasted mutton, used the whole hind legs of the sheep, and asked Li Fenglian, chef from Desheng Building to cut it carefully. This time, it's almost time to calculate the time."
Speaking of this, it seems not good not to give face. After all, a whole sheep hind legs are worth a lot of money. In terms of current current price, ordinary lamb is about fifteen cents per pound. A sheep hind legs are less than ten pounds, and the heavier one is more than twenty pounds, which is three cents of silver!
Judging from the current grain price, you can buy brown rice for one tael of silver, which is about 400 kilograms or three cents of silver, which is equivalent to 120 kilograms of brown rice. This is the food for an ordinary family of four for a month, and you can eat this meal of roasted mutton.
This is not the cost of plucking hairs, burning skins, and removing hoofs in the porridge and powder store. The food for the chef Deshenglou who needs to cut meat, and the effort of marinating spices such as cumin, star anise, bay leaves, etc. is invisible, but it is really rich.
"Stop talking, this meal costs 500 cents, which is five cents of silver! I really can't afford to pay."
