Yang Lin looked at Xiao He and the three elders in disbelief. He pondered in his heart, but soon understood what this meant. He just wanted to hand over the mess of Sishui Pavilion to himself. He said: "Xiao County Cheng, this does not seem to comply with the regulations.

Bar?"

Xiao He waved his hand and smiled, "What are the regulations? It's just that he can concurrently serve as the chief of the Sishui Pavilion, and one person can serve as the chief of two pavilions. Although it has not happened in the past, it does not mean that it cannot be done." He looked at Yang Lin slyly.

Qiangfu also advised from the side, "Chief Yang Ting, even though you have the reputation of being the number one hero in Fengyi, you should think more about the people. Now Sishui Pavilion has been in trouble because of Liu Ji's violence in borrowing grain and threatening irrigation.

Chaos. Among our cities, you are the only one with such authority and authority."

Yang Lin looked at the few people and smiled coldly in his heart. Now that Sishui Pavilion collects taxes and this mess is thrown to him, he just wants him to solve the matter. But then he thought again, if there is an uprising in the future, the power of this extra pavilion will be

Your strength will improve even more.

But Yang Lin showed a troubled look and sighed, "To be honest with Xiaoxian Cheng and the three elders, it is not Lin who shirks the tax, but the tax that is being levied now. If Lin could not complete the task in the past, wouldn't he have harmed the people?"

Hearing this, Xiao He seemed to have already known that this question would be asked, so he explained with a smile, "You don't need to worry about this. I have discussed with the county magistrate that the Sishui Pavilion can postpone the payment of taxes for five days. In this case, Yang Lin, can you pay back the tax?"

Are you worried?"

Yang Lin actually already had the answer in his heart. He said in deep thought, "In that case, Lin Gongjing might as well obey his orders." Now that he has two pavilions in hand, he can do many things.

"Very good, very good." The three elders all looked happy and praised, "Yang Lin, I am really lucky to have you in Fengyi."

Yang Lin cupped his hands and asked, "I wonder when Lin will take office?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. Now Sishui Pavilion needs a person in charge to supervise the collection and payment of taxes." Xiao He immediately said to Yang Lin, with a sigh of relief on his face.

"In this case, Lin will go back to make some preparations and go to Surabaya Pavilion tomorrow." Yang Lin thought for a while and decided to go back to Lishui Pavilion to make arrangements first. Although the two pavilions are more than ten miles apart, it is impossible to go to Surabaya Pavilion.

I spent the whole day reviewing the affairs of the two pavilions.

Yang Lin then said goodbye and left.

"Xiao County Cheng, the whole tax mess at Sishui Pavilion is all on Yang Lin's shoulders." Qiangfu sighed with a little worry.

Xiao He also nodded and said in a deep voice, "I believe he will find a way. What we can do is help him in the bush."

Returning to Lishui Pavilion, Yang Lin didn't bother to take a sip of water, and immediately asked Li Ba and the others to be found. Then he told the three people about being the director of Surabaya Pavilion, "I will take office tomorrow."

"Brother Lin, is this too fast?" Wang Shan said with some worry, he frowned, such a good thing could not happen to Yang Lin so easily.

Zhao Meng and Li Ba also nodded in agreement with Wang Shan's concerns.

Yang Lin saw the expressions of the three people in his eyes and said again, "The biggest problem of Sishui Pavilion at present is the collection of taxes. Otherwise, how could Xiaoxian Cheng and the three elders let me serve as the pavilion chief concurrently?"

"That being the case, why would Brother Lin accept this mess?" Wang Shan asked puzzledly.

"I have my own plan." Yang Lin didn't want to tell a few people about the uprising yet, so he answered vaguely. "Li Ba, Zhao Meng, you two will go with me to Sishui Pavilion tomorrow. As for Wang Shan, you

Then sit in Lishui Pavilion and continue to collect taxes."

"No!" the three of them responded with their hands raised.

Back home, Yang Lin also told his mother and Lu Zhi about the matter. Because he worked at Surabaya Pavilion, he could not go home all day. Yang's mother did not have much objection to this. He understood that his son had made his own decision.

and cognition. On the contrary, Lu Pheasant muttered his lips resentfully, seeming to ignore the latter.

On the second day, Yang Lin left home early, and then took Li Ba and Zhao Meng to the Tingting Department in Surabaya. After arriving at the pavilion, several village chiefs were waiting in the house. These people received the notice from the three elders yesterday.

, then I learned that Yang Lin took office today.

According to convention, the position of chief of the Sishui Pavilion should have been held by one of these chiefs. However, in view of the current mess in tax collection and payment in the pavilion, at this time, the chiefs not only did not reject Yang Lin, but instead welcomed him more warmly.

Yang Lin sat on the couch in the main hall, with Li Ba and Li Ba standing on both sides. Then he said, "You must also know that Lin has taken up the post of chief of the Surabaya Pavilion today." Seeing the chiefs nodding, he said again,

"However, the tax is coming soon and we are not allowed to have time to chat. So I invite everyone to tell us about the situation in each area."

"Mr. Yang Ting, I am Li Sanhou, the chief of Pinghu Village. If we talk about the situation in each village, I think the most worrying one is Zhang Lichang of Zhongyangli Village. A fire this year burned nearly two families in their village.

The wheat fields of ten families. Now the Sishui Pavilion has been unable to collect taxes because of this matter." At this time, a middle-aged village chief came out. It seemed that this man was very talkative and expressed everyone's concerns.

Yang Lin and the others knew that they were responsible for the fire, so they felt a little ashamed at this time, but on the surface they did not reveal any flaws. Zhang Lichang also stood up and sighed, "If the taxes cannot be paid, these farmers will have to go

Lishan is serving their sentence in vain. Yang Tingzhang, you are the number one hero in Fengyi, please save them."

"Yes, Chief Yang Ting, just think of a way." The other chiefs also followed suit.

Yang Lin closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then after seeing off the village chiefs, he said to Li Ba and Wang Shan, "You two first organize each village to turn in the taxed grain, and I will go to the Lu Mansion."

The two knew that they only had five days, so they immediately went down to make arrangements. However, when they first arrived at Surabaya Pavilion, they were unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, they had the help of the talkative Li Lichang, and they were able to smoothly collect taxes.

After Yang Lin came to the Lu Mansion, he told Taigong Lu about the situation of the Surabaya Pavilion, and then shared his idea of ​​borrowing food. After knowing that Yang Lin was also the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, Lu Taigong was quite satisfied with the latter.

Moreover, Lu Pheasant lived in Yang Lin's house, and he also wanted to bring the two of them together.

Then, in response to Yang Lin's idea, Lu Taigong directly ordered someone to lend the latter the grain he purchased in Fengyi after the spring harvest. Seeing this, Yang Lin finally let go of his worries. After thanking him, he hurried back to Sishui Pavilion.

Then he found Zhang Tingzhang in Zhongyangli and asked the latter to take people to Lu Mansion to collect food.

Zhang Tingzhang was overjoyed when he heard this. After excitedly thanking Yang Lin, he immediately organized the farmers whose wheat fields had been burned to drive oxcarts and drove Yang Lin to Lu Mansion. When enough grain was brought back from Lu Mansion to pay taxes, all the farmers knelt down and thanked him.

Yang Lin's life-saving grace was never returned, and even the dead people inside were thrown into the wilderness.

After settling the taxes of these people, for a while, Yang Lin won the hearts of the people even though he was new to Sishui Pavilion. Li Ba and Zhao Meng also collected the taxes in an orderly manner. Although the five-day period was short, Yang Lin still remained

Completed the tax collection task of Surabaya Pavilion on time.
