Chapter 429
Can't go on
"Not only that, Weihaiwei still has money to strengthen coastal defense. Fishermen in other places cannot go out to sea to fish. Although there is a sea ban policy, it is always possible to stay near the sea. However, it is good for ordinary fishermen on the sea to go out to sea for a hundred days in a year. Only the fishermen in Weihaiwei can go out to sea for more than 200 days a year. It is because Weihaiwei spends money to support coastal defense, so that everyone invaded Japan knows to go around Weihaiwei."
Li Chen was stunned when he heard this.
If what Su Jinpa said was true, then Weihaiwei's heavy taxes seemed to have nothing to do with Zheng Baorong's own greed.
"How do you know so clearly?" Li Chen asked.
Su Jinpa pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Zheng Baorong donated an official position back then, and his father found his father through a distant relative. At first, his father refused. Later, he knelt in front of the door for a day and a night before his father reluctantly wrote a letter of recommendation to send it to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue."
"Otherwise, I am the governor of Yiwei after all, even if I have money, no one recommends it in the court for such a high position, it is impossible to buy it. It's just that I forgot about it after many years. I remembered it when I heard Zheng Baorong's name."
"According to you, Zheng Baorong can really observe."
Li Chen is really short of people at hand. If Zheng Baorong is really as Su Jinpa said, he is really a talent.
Available.
But Li Chen still has to see him personally, let’s talk about it after knowing about it.
At this time, the residence of the Weihaiwei Prefect.
In the backyard of the mansion, a lion roar in the Hedong lion is playing.
"If someone surnamed Zheng, others become more and more fat as an official, you will become more and more fat. But the fat is all about your body, but your family's wealth is getting thinner and thinner. If someone is an official, you can make it hard, so what if the people complain about it? If you make it clear, I can't even control the king of heaven."
"Even if those clean and honest officials are just clean and honest, even if they eat the best food by themselves, they will at least gain a good reputation that the people love."
"Look at yourself again. After doing so many things, you have been scolded by the people, but you have not gained any actual benefits. What exactly are you a sect??"
The servants in the mansion heard the roars, and each lowered his head and kept silent and pretended not to hear it.
After so many years, everyone has gotten used to it.
Everyone knows that the magistrate is very afraid of his wife, and being yelled at by his wife is commonplace.
In the study, Zheng Baorong, who was wide and fat, and had a huge body, sighed and said to the woman with her waist and eyebrows in front of her, "What do you know, you know? I have my own reason for doing things. You can take care of yourself."
"I'll take care of my life?"
The woman smiled so much that she pointed at Zheng Baorong's nose and cursed: "Your Zheng family is also a big family. When you were old man, you wanted to donate an official to you. The money was not enough, but my parents helped subsidize 100,000 taels of silver. Originally, everyone was hoping to give one official so that the lives of both families would be more prosperous, but when you became an official, you were the first to attack your own family. Taxes were levied every year. Don't say the benefits of our two families. All the money you earned was collected for you. Do you still ask me to take care of your life?"
"You can't live this life anymore, do you know?"
