Chapter 378 Exchange of Benefits (Please vote for me!)
All the managers of the Textile Industry Office felt a huge sense of powerlessness, and they felt an unprecedented blow from dimensionality reduction.
The generation gap between Moe Ya and Zaibatsu is really too big.
When things have developed to this point, the eight chief stewards have already come to their senses.
It turns out that the premeditated plan to tax the county government in Changzhou County was actually just a shell. Lin Tailai just wanted to use this shell to poach people.
When their textile industry office saw the word "taxation", they would habitually start a fight and directly launch a shutdown demonstration to resist the tax.
After being provoked by Lin Tailai, he sent six to seven hundred people over.
After being provoked by Lin Tailai again, another 1,700 people were sent over.
Now the managers not only look like clowns in Ge Cheng's eyes, they also look like clowns themselves!
The most practical question they face now is, can they still resist this tax?
You know, even the biggest public opinion weapon of "competing with the people" has failed. After all, it is not the government that has been poaching them, but Lin Tailai.
Manager Shi sighed and said: "Our thinking has been stuck in a stereotype from the beginning, and we have habitually treated it according to the model of government tax collection and Lin Tailai's help.
In fact, the situation should be that Lin Tailai was causing trouble and the government was helping him.
It was not Lin Tailai who acted as a pawn of the government, but the government who acted as a pawn of Lin Tailai.
As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a huge difference. It was a mistake to focus on tax resistance from the beginning!
Now, we can only talk directly to the county magistrate, Mr. Yuan."
Another steward asked: "Why don't you just talk to Lin Tai directly?"
Manager Shi said: "We can't give Lin Tailai what he wants!"
Without further delay, Manager Shi immediately dragged his old body to the county government office of Changzhou County.
Although the county magistrate Yuan Hongdao was too lazy to socialize, he still received him out of courtesy.
Manager Shi spoke in the same old tone: "I heard that the county government wants to impose heavy taxes on looms. I'm afraid it will harm the reputation of the county magistrate."
"Hmm." Mr. Yuan Xianzun hummed absentmindedly a few times, and began to wonder where to hold a poetry meeting in the last days of spring this year.
Manager Shi added: "Hasn't the county magistrate never thought about it? Changzhou County levies taxes, but the neighboring Wu County does not. In contrast, does it seem that the county magistrate is being harsh?
If it spreads and people who don't know the truth hear it, they will think that the county respects you less than Deng, the magistrate of Wu County, who loves the people.
Therefore, either we should launch a campaign together with Wu County, or neither county should launch a campaign. This is the way to be an official."
"Well" Yuan Xianzun frowned slightly. As a great writer, he still cherishes feathers very much.
Manager Shi went on to say what he wanted: "Now there is no South Gate in Suzhou City, and the original Nancheng Ancient Snake Gate has long been lost in history.
Now this piece of land is in the hands of our Weaving Industry Office, and the Weaving Industry Office is willing to donate three thousand taels of silver to help the county government repair the Shemen!"
"Huh?" Yuan Xianzun fell into deep thought.
Manager Shi quickly introduced: "Actually, this Snake Gate is very legendary. It is said that Wu Zixu built it in order to suppress the fate of the Yue Kingdom! But after the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, the city gate was destroyed.
If such a legendary city gate could be restored in the hands of the county magistrate, it would be a good story.
Besides, without the South City Gate, it is very inconvenient for the people inside and outside the South City. Restoring the Snake Gate is also a good thing for the convenience and benefit of the people."
Yuan Hongdao couldn't help but feel moved, and subconsciously said: "Very good!"
Everyone knows that since Mr. Yuan Xianzun took office, he likes to engage in this kind of historical and cultural projects, and then personally writes inscriptions to commemorate them.
Then Yuan Hongdao came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shi, please go back first! I will discuss it with Lin Shoubei."
After seeing off Manager Shi, Yuan Xianzun sent someone to invite Lin Tai to come.
It's not that Yuan Xianzun is arrogant, but that Lin Tailai's garrison office is within Wu County, and it is inconvenient for Yuan Xianzun to cross the border without reasonable reasons.
Another hour later, Lin Daguan Shi Shiran came to the Changzhou County government office.
"If this county agrees to the conditions of the Textile Industry Office, it will no longer be possible to use the guise of tax collection." Yuan Hongdao hinted.
Official Lin asked, "Does the county magistrate want to agree to their conditions?"
Yuan Hongdao said sheepishly: "I kind of want to agree."
Lin Daguan said angrily: "I have long expected that officials who love literature and art are unreliable. So don't worry, Lord County, I never expected you to stick to the end."
Yuan Xianzun was speechless. Is this true or ironic?
Then I heard Lin Daguan say: "As the saying goes, if there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so just go with me!"
President Yuan Xian felt that Lin Tailai was so happy this time, a bit unreal, and asked again: "Are you really okay?"
"Of course there is something!" Lin Daguan took out a document and slapped it on the table, "This is the merger agreement of Jinongcang in Wu County and Changzhou County. Mr. Yuan County must have signed it!"
Yuan Hongdao frowned again, this is simply betraying the county power!
It's not enough for you, Lin Tailai, to directly control Jinongcang in Wu County. You also want to take away Changzhou County's as well?
Judging from Lin Tailai's recent actions, it is obvious that he has consciously begun to strengthen his penetration and control of Dongcheng, where Changzhou County is located.
Lin Daguan said with a smile: "Why, County Lord, you can promise to the Weaving Industry Office, but you can't promise me, Mr. Lin?"
Yuan Xianzun still said cautiously: "This matter is of great importance, and this county must consider it carefully."
Official Lin didn't take it seriously and took out another letter and said to Yuan Hongdao: "This is a letter written by the largest supplier of rice and grain in Jinongcang in Wu County to the county. It also suggests that the two counties' Jinongcang should be merged and dispatched in a unified way.
.”
"What is the largest supplier? Why do I need to read his letter?" Yuan Hongdao asked doubtfully.
Lin Daguan replied concisely and concisely: "In other words, it's your father."
Yuan Hongdao: "."
As one of the largest rice merchants in the Jianghan Basin of Hubei Province, Mr. Yuan has tasted the benefits of the Suzhou market in the past two years.
Every year, rice is transported there, and salt and silk and cotton cloth are transported back, and some taxes are evaded at the customs offices along the way. Don't be too flattering.
Official Lin waved the letter in his hand and yelled with a bit of a pun: "Here's what dad said, just tell me whether you listen or not!"
In the end, Yuan Xianzun chose to sell his county power in exchange for the achievement project of restoring the ancient snake gate.
When the news reached the Textile Industry Office, the eight managers were relieved that the crisis was finally over.
Although more than 3,000 manpower has been lost and a price of 3,000 taels of real money has been paid, it is good to be able to stop the loss in time.
The most important thing is that he did not bow to the evil force Lin Tailai directly! He saved the face of the Textile Industry Corporation!
The stewards were talking and summarizing the gains and losses of this experience, when suddenly Ge Cheng rushed in again and shouted:
"Something happened again! Rumors are circulating again that the Suhang Weaving Bureau will send an additional 10,000 pieces of silk and silk of various colors to the Suzhou weaving industry!
There are also rumors that Eunuch Sun Zhi wants to entrust the Garrison Department to collect it on his behalf, and Lin Garrison is considering it!"
All stewards: "."
Is there any end to those who are still riding horses? Can people still go on strike and cause trouble?
The eldest steward Shi Taigong spurted blood out of the corner of his mouth, then his eyes went black and he fainted.
