Since time travel, Fang Yingwu's first day of formal study has passed unknowingly. If a man and a woman study together, the efficiency may be very high or very low, but Fang Yingwu feels that today's results are good, at least beyond his own.
prediction.
The woman accompanying him put away the books, said goodbye, and went home. The next day, she came again as promised, bringing a volume of the Analects of Confucius, and continued to recite Zhu Xi's annotations to the Analects of Confucius for Fang Yingwu at the appropriate time.
Fang Yingwu also enjoyed this way of learning, but when he was reviewing today, he heard a piece of news, which slightly interrupted his reading process.
His uncle Fang Fengshi did something earth-shattering - on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the county magistrate was having fun with the people at the edge of the green stream outside the south gate of the county. While watching the dragon boat race, Fang Fengshi suddenly barged in front of the county magistrate.
, complain in person.
Fang Fengshi was not suing anyone else but Cheng Kaitai, a Li Chang who had dominated Huaxi for more than ten years. The main charges against him were forced marriages against moral ethics, oppression of the people through unfair labor, and unscrupulous assaults on villagers, etc., and submitted to the county magistrate.
There was evidence such as the marriage documents signed by Cheng Kaitai.
When Fang Yingwu heard the above news, he was surprised and had to sigh. The people are creative, and their potential should not be underestimated when it is guided and tapped.
Fang Fengshi's behavior may seem bold, but he actually grasped three key points. First, he seized the opportunity for the county magistrate to leave the government office, and was able to file a complaint in person, eliminating the need for an intermediate step. Otherwise, he would have submitted the complaint to the government office according to normal procedures.
, it is easy for problems to arise when working among subordinates. I don’t know how many tricks happen in these links.
Second, we seized the opportunity for the county magistrate to have fun with the people. At this time, there was a Dragon Boat Festival event, and many gentry in the county were present. Even if the county magistrate was showing off, he had to act like he was making decisions with the people, and he would not fight back directly.
Thirdly, district chiefs like Cheng Kaitai work for the government after all. It is very common to be accused of treacherous accusations, so a certain amount of protection is required. The county magistrate cannot fail to take this into consideration. If only one charge is filed, it may be regarded as an accusation.
Cunning and unruly people.
But this time Fang Fengshi laid out eight charges in a concentrated appeal and produced some conclusive evidence. In the eyes of the county magistrate, he is no longer the kind of unruly citizen who makes trouble out of nothing, and must be taken seriously.
Fang Yingwu originally thought that Fang Fengshi and the others would compromise with Cheng Kaitai with the evidence, but he didn't expect that they would actually torture Cheng Kaitai to death, but he underestimated their ruthlessness. However, all this has nothing to do with him for the time being, so he should continue studying.
A few days later, Fang Yingwu heard the news that the county magistrate had removed Cheng Kaitai from his post as captain, and sent Cheng Kaitai, Cheng Kaishan, Cheng Huainan and others to the salt farm for three years of hard labor.
Then the county magistrate quickly appointed Fang to take charge of the district chief's duties at the right time. It was probably the time to collect the summer tax, and the district chief's duty could not be vacant.
May 15th is the time when the summer tax is levied. The standard for summer tax is still based on rice grain as the statistical unit, but in form, silk, silk, and wheat can be folded according to official proportions. However, these few months have been a time of food shortage.
Therefore, spring wheat is rarely used to pay taxes. Generally, raw silk is used to pay taxes, and silk stockings are also used.
The autumn grain, which accounts for the majority of tax revenue, is collected by the grain chief, but the summer tax is the responsibility of the village chief. Therefore, the first task of the new village chief Fang Fengshi is to collect the silk tax from the three villages of Huaxi and send it to the county treasury. Of course, it will cost a lot of money.

Before starting to get busy, the new General Manager Fang sat down in Fang Yingwu’s yard, intending to discuss political policies with Fang Yingwu. General Manager Fang’s political opinions mainly include two points -
"The Cheng family in Xiahuaxi will be responsible for all the money lost this year besides the regular taxes! Ask them to compensate our Fang family for the losses they have suffered over the years!"
"The three former General A's have a good idea of rotating corvee work. I can follow suit, but the form must be changed. This is the first year of rotation, so starting from the Cheng family, all the corvee work will be allocated to the Cheng family in Xiahuaxi first!"
Of course Fang Yingwu could see that this was naked revenge, and it seemed that there was no essential difference between Cheng Kaitai's behavior. However, the butt determined the head, and he only opposed Fang Fengshi's actions after he was full.
The new general manager, Fang Fang Yingwu, really didn't have any thoughts on these things, so he glanced ambiguously at Sister Lan under the shade of the tree, and patted the ground knowingly before leaving.
Fang Yingwu thought of something, so he quickly stopped him and gave him a few instructions. Fang Fengchen patted his chest, agreed, and then left.
The days passed day by day while studying. He ignored what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages. Fang Yingwu felt that he had gradually entered this state.
Everything is for the exam! Even in the moment of beauty, he can restrain himself and live a life worse than a beast, but some things are destined to be unavoidable.
That day, seven or eight uninvited guests appeared outside the yard and shouted through the fence: "Is Fang Yingwu here?"
Fang Yingwu turned around and took a few glances. They were all strangers, but he didn't know where they came from. They looked like scoundrels wandering around the market. But it was certain that there were absolutely no such people in their villages.
The leader stared at Fang Yingwu for a few times and shouted: "Looking at your age, you are probably Brother Fang? You owe someone thirty taels of silver and it is due today. Have you figured out how to repay the debt?"
It turned out to be debt collectors, and Fang Yingwu suddenly understood that these people were obviously ordered to cause trouble by Miss Baimei from the county town.
There are people like this these days who usually do nothing but come to collect debts, engage in bad behavior, and disturb the peace of the debtor's family. What's more serious is that they are also used to gathering gangs to randomly rob the debtor's house, forcing them to
People pawned their property and even sold themselves to pay off debts. It was like the debt collection company in his previous life.
Sure enough, they saw these people standing at the entrance of the courtyard and started to curse. If the guess is correct, this is their first move, Fang Yingwu thought.
"It's God's law to pay back debts. You're a little thief. Do you want to be a scoundrel?"
"You look like a bitch, but you are also a skinny. I advise you to sell yourself at a good price to pay off your debts!"
"Don't just fool around with the little lady and forget about your debts! Grandpas can help you get away with it, but they can't pay off your debts for you!"
The scoundrels from the county were yelling obscene words and violently kicking the fence. After a while, the fence swayed and collapsed, leaving a gap. If seven or eight scoundrels wanted to break in,
, it is considered smooth.
Fang Yingwu was fine and calm, but Sister Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kept retreating.
At this moment, dozens of villagers were seen gathering over, each holding various farm tools and looking evil. The village of Shanghuaxi was not big, and this group of scoundrels had made such a big fuss here in Fang Yingwu, which had already alarmed the whole village.
people.
Recently, after two battles, including a gang fight against government officials and a fight with Cheng's family, the villagers in Shanghuaxi not only improved their cohesion, but also greatly exercised their courage. This time, seeing the much-loved little Xianggong Fang Yingwu encountering difficulties, he spontaneously came to
help.
The leader of the gangsters saw this and yelled: "Grandpa, I work as a dentist in the county government office! Today I am here to collect debts for others. I have to pay back debts. This is the same as going to court! Irrelevant people should not cause trouble!"
When Fang Fengshi, the head of the new village, was in high spirits, how could he have much control? Several scoundrels also came to Fang's house to act arrogantly, and they simply ignored him! What's more, the young husband had already given instructions to be on guard against such malicious debt collection.
. Then he shouted: "Fight the villagers! After the beating, throw them out of the village."
Although the seven or eight scoundrels were numerous in number, shouted loudly, and were so ferocious that they could frighten honest people. But in the eyes of the gathered Shanghuaxi villagers, how could they be more arrogant than Tan Gongdao?
The gangsters from the county seat were immediately like rubber balls that had been punctured. They were beaten so hard that they could only run away but had nowhere to run. More than thirty people surrounded seven or eight people, which was enough to prevent them from running away.
Not long after, seven or eight scoundrels rolled on the ground and saw that their air was coming in but not coming out. Mr. Fang was startled and feared for his life, so he quickly called a stop. At the same time, he ordered the villagers to throw these people outside the village.
On the roadside, let them catch their breath and then get out.
This matter is not over yet, Fang Yingwu sighed. That girl Baimei is narrow-minded and hates her father so much that she will not let it go easily. Today's malicious harassment may be just the beginning.
