Changing from the 5th level to the 5th level may seem like you are staying still, but in fact it is not.

Li Cao has always been called "Bing Ting Leng Cao" because he is not rich in salary, and he is a kind of "noble" official. But in fact, this time he has changed from a lowly official who is addicted to writing to being in charge.

A beautiful official of etiquette. To be honest, in the eyes of the world, she is really good.

But this errand is just an errand now. Hong Jinglai knows for sure that the dozen or so people are really fishing from Longchuan, so there must be no problem. Now it is just a trip to the Phoenix Gate to check the personnel and pick them up.

In this case, let's do it. This courtesy officer is just a temporary one. Our old friend, Superintendent Min Ting and Min, won it for us. This errand is over, and I don't know what I will do after I return to Beijing.

"Can you please lend me my pen and ink from your county?" The county magistrate was standing by, thinking that it was a lucky coincidence that he came to Hongjing at the same time, so the things he had sent before were not in vain.

"Come right away." After Hong Jing came and asked, the county magistrate summoned the scribes to come in.

He said he was borrowing pen and ink, but in fact he was borrowing a pen from a clerk who knew how to write official documents. Although Hong Jinglai had been the general affairs and logistics section chief of the general office for several months, he still couldn't say that he was good at writing official documents between superiors and subordinates or at the same level.

Now that I have accepted the mission, I must send a letter to Longchuan County and ask Longchuan County to send over the household registration records of the dozen fishermen. It is best to send them all the villagers, senior middlemen and so on, so as to serve as witnesses.

Although Hong Jinglai knew that at this time, the Hanyang court had almost completely lost its understanding of the actual local Dingkou, and the so-called Dingkou in the household registration were all made up by local officials to cope with the situation.

The imperial court also understood clearly, and simply implemented "living within one's means" and no longer collected taxes exactly according to the records in the fish scale yellow book. It was estimated that the imperial court would spend 20 million taels this year, so eight

It's an apportionment method. How much you pay, how much he pays, everyone should bear it equally.

This is also why in the later period of the Li Dynasty, there were often such bad things as "yellow registration" and "white bone collection", because some people on the so-called yellow list were still adults after decades of death, and some children were still in their arms.

But they are still counted as adults. The so-called yellow household registration book in Hucao's hands is rotten, useless, and just a piece of waste paper.

What Hong Jinglai wants to adjust now is naturally the real household registration in the hands of Longchuan Township officials. This is one of the fundamentals for them to control the place and control taxes. It may be difficult.

But thinking about the current situation, they would probably forge a fake pornographic book containing real information about more than a dozen people. Hong Jinglai was not in the mood to fight these village officials, and he might not be able to fight them.

As long as the real household registrations of those dozen people are obtained, it will be enough to give the Qing Dynasty an official statement. There is nothing left to do. Jiaqing is willing to send people to Fenghuang Gate. In fact, he has basically confirmed in his heart that these people are good citizens, not

What pirate water bandits.

He thought so, and the whole incident was just a formality. Hanyang just didn't know the details and didn't dare to confirm the identities of these dozen people. Secondly, the big bosses had big business, so they always took into account more details.

a bit more.

After waiting for another four days, Min Jingyou drove from Hanyang Tangtang under the full-pay flag. Zhengsanpintang Shangguan is really different!

"Sir, you came so quickly!" Hong Jinglai naturally took the lead and led a group of local officials and township officials to pay their respects.

Even a local official of the fourth rank of Longchuan County Governor can only rely on Hong Jing to get behind here. Hong Jing is the deputy envoy appointed by the imperial order, so he can be regarded as an imperial envoy.

"Everyone, get up!" Min Jingyou didn't sit in a sedan this time. After all, he made it in time and came all the way on horseback. Hong Jinglai gave him a hand.

Everyone who wanted to curry favor naturally came forward to pay their respects. Hong Jinglai would not be a bad person and introduced them one by one. Anyway, Min Jinghye would not really remember everyone. Everyone was just superficial, just perfunctory.

After entering the building, Min Jing naturally and Hong Jing came to support him. He was just here to fill in the numbers and get a summary. On the surface, he showed Li Chao's respect for the Holy Emperor of Yanjing. In actual interrogation, Hong Jing came to make his own decisions.

And Hong Jinglai did not shy away from saying that he had heard about this before, and he guaranteed that they were all good people. Their household registration records had been transferred early in the morning, and the local villagers, senior officials, and middle-ranking officials were all in Tieshan, and they could be summoned immediately.

.

Guaranteed no problem!

"After all, you have experienced it and experienced a lot, so this matter is entirely up to you."

"Mr. Tsinghua University's top candidates are not intolerant of these mundane tasks, and students should share the burden. In addition, the supervisor recommended the candidate, and the students are really grateful!" Hong Jinglai kept his attitude low and acted like a well-behaved person in front of the teacher.

"Brother recommends you because you know the local people well and are able to handle things." Min Jingyue was very satisfied with Hong Jinglai's grateful attitude.

"Students will definitely remember it."

"Please bring those old folks here. You have to meet them before you feel at ease." Min Jing was not a faint-hearted official, but he was also a careful person after all.

"This is coming!"

Hong Jinglai, the three village elders, had already reached Tieshan. Min Jingye mainly asked if he could confirm that there were really about ten people who disappeared after going to sea four months ago. After receiving the confirmed answer, he nodded and asked the three village elders to leave.

.

"Sir, I must have come here in a hurry. You didn't bring anything with you, right? If there are any shortages, the students can help." Hong Jing saw that Min Jing was about to take a rest and asked carefully.

"I don't need anything when I arrive, so I don't need you to bother me too much." Min Jingyou thought for a while.

"I see that your husband didn't bring many boxes with you. Don't you need to bring some local products back to Beijing when you go to Zhanmen this time?"

To put it bluntly, Hong Jing came here just to ask Min Jingye. Fortunately, he could pass through the gate legally. He could also go to Fenghuang, and he could also go to Shengjing. Although he was not going to Yanjing, Shengjing was also a big town, so he didn’t want to do something small.

Business, make up for your wallet?

"..." Min Jingyou tilted his head, raised his eyelids, and showed a shallow smile.

"There is a student who I would like to introduce to you, sir." Hong Jing came to see what was going on.

"Pass it..."

This kind of good thing is naturally an advantage for our brother Shangwo! Moreover, he now has a capital of three hundred thousand taels, but he lacks a protective umbrella and there is no big boss to cover him. How could Hong Jinglai not help him?

"Lin Shangwo, the leader of the small businessman Tieshan, pays homage to the chief eunuch!"

Min Jingyou looked at Hong Jinglai and nodded, meaning that he knew this person and what to say next.

"Lin Xingshou is willing to lend Mr. 100,000 taels for a period of six months, with an interest of 8%."

"Eight percent?" Min Jinghye never expected that the interest rate of eight percent would be so low.

"I don't dare to expect too much." Lin Shangwo was not stupid and immediately expressed his feelings.
Chapter completed!
