Chapter 38 Violence cannot solve the problem (Part 2)
While talking, Lin Tailai and his party had already reached the center of the first picture, and even the Shenming Pavilion in the big square could be seen.
According to the regulations of the grassroots organizations of the Ming Dynasty, a Shenming Pavilion must be built for every mile (picture).
When encountering trivial disputes in the township, the village chief or the elderly can mediate in Shenming Pavilion to reduce the litigation pressure of the county government.
In addition, Shenming Pavilion also has the function of posting announcements and can be regarded as the "political center" in rural areas.
The three of them inquired about it and found out that the house leader in this picture happened to be near Shenming Pavilion.
Following the road, we came to the Li Chang's house. This is a brick house with two or three entrances. It seems that the family is very well off.
The man named Zhou is a man in his forties. He has a dark and thin face, but his eyes are very bright, and his words show some shrewdness.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Tailai reported his background, but Chang Zhou did not invite anyone in and just talked at the door.
Then Zhou Lichang pretended to be confused and said: "Isn't Anletang the entrance to the Thirteen Capitals on the west side of the canal? How come you are here?"
Lin Tailai explained patiently: "The county government has divided the six maps in the northern part of Yidu to us, including your first map! From now on, we will collect all the money and food for the six maps!"
Zhou Lichang did not express his position, but asked again: "How to collect it? Chief Lin, please tell me the number."
Lin Tailai had already known the answer and replied: "According to the yamen regulations, an additional nine dou will be consumed for every stone of regular grain. You can just leave it to us, An Le Tang."
This will save you from being exploited by subordinate staff, avoid the pain of dealing with the yamen, save worry, time and effort, and get the best of both worlds.
It’s just that we at Anletang also have to charge a bucket for extra consumption as a hard-earned fee. After all, we also have to support our family."
Zhou Lichang chuckled a few times, "What a coincidence. At noon just now, someone from Santu Shenjiayizhuang also came to see me.
It is said that the land can be entrusted to the Shen Family Yizhuang, and the money and food will be taken care of equally responsibly. Moreover, the conditions offered by their family are much more sincere than Leader Lin."
Lin Tailai said very seriously: "It is illegal to send land to the fields, Zhou Litou should not break the law."
Zhou Lichang smiled contemptuously, "Then I have nothing to say. Leader Lin looks quite young, so you should learn more about how to do things from the old man at Tangkou!"
Then he closed the courtyard door forcefully and directly invited Lin Tailai and others to be rejected.
Before Lin Tailai did anything, the Zhang family brothers were all furious.
Zhang Wu pushed the iron whip into Lin Tailai's hand and shouted: "This liar is so ignorant, how dare he be so rude to the people sitting in the restaurant!"
Zhang Wen also said angrily: "What a bullshit, you really don't know what's good for you! I gave him a good beating and then I obeyed!"
Lin Tailai shouted: "Shut up, both of you! Remember one sentence, violence cannot solve problems! And violence cannot win people's hearts!"
The purpose of today was just to step in and get a feel for the situation. In this unfamiliar territory, it is normal to encounter any kind of people and things.
What's the use of being incompetent and furious now? If you occupy the territory in the future, the cost of the first map will be doubled! This garbage leader will naturally be killed by the folks!
But what worries Lin Tailai is, what should he do if the lengths of the following pictures are like Zhou's length just now?
The main reason is that there are other Shen families nearby who are competing for the price, and the price offered by the society cannot beat these "rich families" who evade taxes.
The reason is very simple. For the same amount of one stone of grain collected, the society must pay at least nine tons to the Yamen.
The Shen family can take advantage of their privileges and collect only five dou of grain for one stone of money and hand it over to the Yamen. If the five dou of grain is hidden, it will be a huge profit margin, which can be used for various operations.
Whether it is giving profits to the villagers or giving kickbacks to the local elders, there are many ways to operate.
Lin Tailai knew that the work would be difficult to carry out, otherwise Hall Master Lu would not look forward and backward.
But after actually coming into contact with the work, I found that it was more difficult to carry out than I imagined.
The market is so big, and if the villagers don't pay them a protection tax for oral sex, they can't beat up thousands of villagers.
Leaving the first picture and walking towards the adjacent second picture, Lin Tailai felt worried and sighed constantly along the way.
Such a difficult job, but my strongest point is not put to use. Where is the breakthrough point?
Walking to the center of the second picture, when Lin Tailai saw Shenming Pavilion, he knew there was no need to ask about the director.
Because there were several people sitting in Shenming Pavilion drinking tea, and 80% of them were local village chiefs and elderly people.
Lin Tailai stepped forward, stood outside the pavilion, reported his origins, and asked around for names and identities. Sure enough, the director of the second picture and two old people were sitting in the pavilion.
There were two other people. After hearing Lin Tailai's origin, one of them, a middle-aged man with a long face and short beard, replied provocatively:
"I am Ma Yingming, the manager of Shen's Yizhuang. This is Jiang Yuan, the manager of the village. I don't want to meet Leader Lin on a narrow road."
Lin Tailai ignored Ma Yingming and said to Chief Shen of the second picture: "As designated by the county government, all the money and food for the first six pictures in the north will be taken care of by our Anletang. If there is time there now, you and I can talk about it.
number!"
Shen Li looked at Ma Yingming, the manager of Shen's Yizhuang, in embarrassment, "There are other guests here. According to the first-come, first-served etiquette, we can only ask Leader Lin to wait."
Ma Yingming chuckled and said: "The water in Yidu is very deep. Brother Lin is too young to be able to grasp it. I think you should please come back!"
If you have time, come back another day, or if you don’t need to come again, you’ll save yourself the effort of running errands!”
Lin Tailai climbed up the steps and walked directly into Shenming Pavilion. He asked the chief: "I came here with sincerity, but Shen Litou refused to be accommodating?"
The old man next to him answered: "Brother Shen just said that there are other guests here now, so it is not convenient to see you again."
Lin Tailai half-turned around as if disappointed, but the next moment he suddenly stretched out his fist from the big sleeves of his newly made gown.
There is also a finger tiger on his fist. I don’t know when Lin Taila secretly put it on his sleeve.
The large sleeves of a wide robe imitating the style of a scholar's blouse have this advantage. Even if you make small movements in the sleeves, it will be difficult for others to detect it.
When no one expected it, Lin Tailai's powerful and heavy fist suddenly hit Ma Yingming.
The slow motion was followed by fast motion. Ma Yingming, who was caught off guard, was directly hit by the huge impact. He flew out of the pavilion and rolled several times on the yellow soil outside.
Then Lin Tailai turned around again. Everyone was still stunned. Lin Tailai used the same punch again, this time the target was Chief Jiang of Shen Family Yizhuang.
Not surprisingly, Chief Jiang also flew out of Shenming Pavilion, even higher and farther than Ma Guanzhuang.
Lin Tailai put his fists back into his sleeves, shook his gown, and said politely to Shen Lichang:
"It just said that there are other guests here, so it's not convenient to talk about it. Now that the guests are gone, can we start talking about it?"
Shen Lizhang looked at Lin Tailai with dumbfounded eyes. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a method of directly making other people disappear.
The Zhang brothers couldn't bear it and asked: "Didn't you repeatedly emphasize today that violence cannot solve problems?"
Lin Tailai touched his thumb and sighed: "It's so good. Although violence can't solve the problem, it can solve the people who created the problem."
The main reason was that Professor Lin had an idea just now and realized that he might have fallen into a misunderstanding and almost didn't get out of it.
I had been thinking about how to occupy the market, but I almost forgot to think from another angle.
Although you can't hit customers like Bao Ming, you can hit your competitors!
As long as you can drive away your competitors, can you monopolize all customers?
This means that violence cannot solve problems, but violence can solve the people who create problems.
Professor Lin clenched his fists, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he felt comfortable all over! It turned out that it was so easy to break the game!
