The wealthy families gave power to local officials because the other party did not cooperate.
Logically speaking, Yang Xuan had just arrived, so the two sides would not test it immediately.
But he couldn't stand it. Boss Yang's actions in Chenzhou were so ruthless that as soon as Huang Chunhui left him in Taoxian, the wealthy people shouted wolf.
Huang Zhan and Chen You have been friends for many years. Today, they were drinking at Huang's house.
Northern Xinjiang is poor, but the lives of the wealthy are not bad, even more luxurious than in Chang'an.
The two were drinking and talking.
Huang Zhan looks fifty years old, with a thin face and a cold expression. If he is not a close friend, he will definitely find this person difficult to approach.
Chen You, on the other hand, looked gentle.
Huang Zhan took a sip of wine and said, "This is a fine wine from Chang'an. It is said that it is the favorite of the imperial concubine. It is fruit wine from Shu. It tastes sweet, but don't drink too much, otherwise you will get drunk and suffer."
Chen You took a sip and said, "It's too sweet, I don't like it."
Huang Zhan said with a smile: "As we get older, we like sweeter and softer foods, but some people just don't want us to live a good life."
Chen You dipped his index finger into the wine glass, wrote the character Yang on the table, looked up at Huang Zhan, and said, "This man is sharp, as is recognized in Northern Xinjiang. He is sharp in fighting and sharp in governance."
"It doesn't matter, but this man likes businessmen the most. If he governs a place, he will definitely attract business. Chenzhou has now become a holy place for businessmen. Businessmen forget their loyalty when they see profit. Yang Gou has also studied in metaphysics after all, but he doesn't know how to suppress it.
Businessman's principles?
I see, he knows it, but he looks after money, that’s vulgar!" Huang Zhan said disdainfully.
Chen You smiled and said, "That's right! It's enough for people who are unscrupulous for profit to pollute Chenzhou, but Tao County can't be like this!"
Huang Zhan nodded, "This is what I want to do with him."
Chen You asked: "How confident are you?"
Huang Zhan said: "I have someone in Taoxian County who has destroyed the confession about Chen Yu in the Wang family case. The original prisoners were all exiled to Guanzhong...
It's funny to say that what Yang Gou said at that time was to be exiled to Taiping. Wang's associates would try their best to exile him directly to Guanzhong. The people in Guanzhong despise the people in northern Xinjiang, and they will probably suffer a lot if they go there."
Chen You's eyes lit up, "What a trick! If you want to find out more about Chen Yu, it will take a few months. But the war is about to begin. Even if Yang Gou wants to find out the matter, Huang Chunhui will have to suppress it for the sake of Northern Xinjiang.
Go down."
Huang Zhan said calmly: "I am optimistic about this opportunity, so I took action."
Chen You raised his glass, "With your methods, I'm afraid you can become a hero even if you lead an army to fight."
Huang Zhan raised his glass and said, "Today is just a small test."
The two of them smiled at each other, never going against their will.
"Aye!"
"Aye!"
There were shouts from outside, and Huang Zhan said dissatisfiedly: "Da Lang, why are you shouting?"
Huang Zhan's eldest son Huang Zhong rushed in, sweating profusely, "Aye, those two people had their legs broken by Yang Gouren in the street."
Huang Zhan was startled, "Why?"
Chen You was even more surprised, "He is so domineering?"
Huang Zhong said: "Yang Gou told his confession about Chen Yu in the street, word for word."
Huang Zhan said sternly: "How is it possible? Who would be bored and memorize a confession of hundreds of words?"
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, "Many people have heard it. Now, people outside are saying that the person behind him deserves to die. Ah, be careful of being found out."
Huang Zhan stood up suddenly, "Yang Gou actually...", and then he sat down again, "It's okay, there is no evidence. If he dares to take action, there are many people who will come forward for the Huang family. The war is coming, Huang Chunhui will not sit back and watch. Don't worry!"
Huang Zhong thought about it, and after sitting down, he said: "Many people on the street said that Yang Gou is really a good official."
Huang Zhan sneered, "Those who make profits for businessmen are bitches!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Outside Huang's house, many sergeants gathered around.
"Alang, it's not good, Yang Xuan is here with someone."
Huang Zhan stood up suddenly and said, "Go and have a look."
"Ah, be careful!" Huang Zhong said, "Otherwise, let me go!"
Huang Zhan said with a smile: "He doesn't dare to take action. It's just a bluff. I'll watch with peace of mind as my father deals with him and makes him come back defeated."
Chen You said: "Dalang will also go and have a look. Anyway, I have to learn this method."
When they arrived at the front yard, the door was already open. Huang Zhan walked over and held his hands in his hands, "I wonder why Commander Yang is here?"
"Bring it up!"
Yang Xuan waved his hand, and the two men and women were dragged up, howling miserably.
"It's Huang who ordered his slaves to slander the emperor!" the woman pointed at Huang Zhan and shouted.
"This is an unreasonable disaster!" Huang Zhan smiled, "You can convict someone with just one mouth. This is an attempt to inflict a crime. Sir, are you trying to slander the Huang family?"
Yang Xuan changed the topic, "Yang asked himself in Chenzhou that the governance was good, but why are there people in Tao County dissatisfied?"
This is a blend...
On the periphery, Jiang Cunzhong, who was ordered to persuade Yang Xuan, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhang Du: "These wealthy families are too aggressive in joining forces. I was worried that Zitai would be impulsive and cause big trouble in the future, but I didn't expect him to be quite calm."
Zhang Du said: "It's just that I feel uncomfortable holding back my anger."
Jiang Cunzhong said: "Look at how much injustice your husband has suffered for the sake of Northern Xinjiang? Even Deputy Envoy Liao is the same. Just say you and I, we have suffered less for our subordinates? Many times, suffering is a blessing!"
"Lao Jiang, you're just talking nonsense! Who gave you little shoes to wear last time? You smiled in front of me, like a gentleman, but you drank with me behind the scenes, but you wished you could have walked into his house that night and slept with his concubine."
"Fuck!" Jiang Cunzhong cursed, "Can't there be a guard for your mouth?"
Zhang Du chuckled, "No more talking, let's see how Zitai negotiates with them. At least, it won't be a bad thing if everyone can get along harmoniously after this time."
Jiang Cunzhong said: "Those people should throw out someone to vent their anger on Zitai, also to save face."
Inside the gate, Huang Zhan said with a smile: "It is admirable for Yang Shijun to govern Chenzhou. Everything in Chenzhou is good, but there are too many merchants."
"Isn't it bad to have more businessmen?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Haha!" Huang Zhan smiled at the people outside, "Businessmen see profits and forget their loyalty. The so-called business is actually cheating. If you pay attention to this generation, it will encourage this unhealthy trend.
At that time, everyone will want to do business, and everyone will want to figure out how to defraud people.
The world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. How to govern?
At that time, people will be selfish and no one is willing to serve the country, and the Tang Dynasty will be in danger!"
Among the crowd outside, someone praised: "Huang Gong has a profound understanding of justice and a high moral integrity."
Yang Xuan smiled, "Is that why?"
Huang Zhan said calmly: "If the people's customs are honest, great governance will be achieved. Everyone knows this truth. But how can we keep the people's customs simple? Teach by words and deeds."
Mr. Huang has been unrivaled in giving out porridge and medicine for many years, and his frugality in spending money is obvious to all.
As long as money is enough, why bother pursuing it?
Yang Shijun, Chenzhou's methods may not work in Tao County!"
Commercial development in Chenzhou was in full swing. Merchants from the grassland and Guanzhong gathered all kinds of goods together to exchange goods.
"I see!"
Yang Xuan said calmly: "Wait a minute!"
What are you waiting for?
Everyone was puzzled.
Yang Xuan waved his hand, Jiang Heer turned around and said to the old thief: "Check!"
The old thief understands this.
Immediately, Xie was taken to a secluded place.
"Do you know anything about Huang's business?"
"The villain said he would die!"
Thank you Panran.
"I told you, Lang Jun will protect you! If you don't tell me, you will die immediately!" The old thief said with a cruel smile: "Second brother, give him a slap!"
Wang Laoer asked: "Why don't you smoke it yourself?"
"I can't kill someone with one slap, but you can slap their face behind them."
"oh!"
Wang Laoer raised his hand and thanked Collapse, "The villain said, the villain said."
…
"The little boy went to look for the Huang family, so that's the end of it."
Huang Chunhui felt relieved and said to Liao Jin: "We need to send more scouts."
Liao Jin said: "Since the day before yesterday, more scouts have been sent."
"Well!" Huang Chunhui leaned against the cabinet, his eyelids drooping, "The vanguard of Beiliao is probably not far away. Before the war, scout battles and ranger battles were all life-consuming fights. We have few people, so how can we reduce the number?
You can figure out the casualties."
Liao Jin said: "This time Chen Zhoujun came with 20,000 troops. We have a lot more people!"
"You are a big boy and you have no intention of preserving your strength. If that's the case, then use it boldly. However, remember, don't be too biased." Huang Chunhui warned: "Many times, the barriers often appear when you don't expect it.
When you are self-righteous. The higher your official position, the better you must be at introspection."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xuan." Liao Jin said with a smile: "With Yang Xuan's temperament, if he is wronged, do you think he will endure it?"
Huang Chunhui couldn't help but smile, "No."
Liu Qing said nothing, and both of them looked at him.
"Old Liu."
Liu Qing said seriously: "Actually, Zitai is a kind person."
…
Boom!
Many shops in the city were broken into by guards.
"Get the account books! Seal the items! Watch the people!"
All the shopkeepers and clerks were under control, and the account books were obtained.
Then came the questions.
"If you confess, please be lenient!" Wang Laoer stepped forward with a horizontal knife.
"It's the second child of the Man-Headed Demon King!"
Dozens of shopkeepers and waiters were gathered together, as well as a group of prostitutes and madams.
Jiang He'er, the commander-in-chief of the operation, pointed to the stacked account books and said: "Check the accounts, check the goods, and see if there are any defective ones."
She walked over slowly and said with a straight face, "Whoever wants to be Huang's loyal servant, shut up, and we will punish them severely together."
"This wheat flour is mixed with a lot of ash!" A guard scolded: "What the hell, there are also fine stones! Damn it! There is a lot of sawdust here!"
"Profiteer!"
"The purchase price is two yuan and the sale price is seven yuan. Is this the noble and upright Huang family?"
"Here are the account books!"
The old thief took Pan Sheng to take action personally, found a place where things were hidden, and found more than a dozen account books.
The shopkeeper collapsed, "I said..."
…
Outside the gate of the Huang family, Yang Xuan, who had refused to go in to drink tea, was chatting with a group of common people.
"Do you dare to farm this year?"
"How dare you! My husband said, just plant, Beili is coming, it's also autumn."
"Do you have enough food at home?"
"Enough is enough, but the price of food outside is high, so I can't help but sell some."
Inside the gate, Huang Zhan whispered: "This is just pretentious."
Chen You smiled and said: "Today he is too embarrassed to put the knife in its sheath. He is waiting for us to bow our heads! Old Huang..."
Huang Zhan sneered, "It's been hinted that someone will surrender later, but he refuses to let me go. Do you want me to kneel down and apologize? He's so shameless!"
Huang Zhong said: "When he really takes office in Taoxian County later, there will be plenty of ways to deal with him."
Huang Zhan nodded, "For thousands of years, no government has been able to fight against the local gentry! Those who wanted to fight were eventually ruined."
Chen You smiled and said: "After all, we have the final say on who is good and who is bad!"
The three of them smiled at each other.
"Someone is coming."
Jiang He'er rushed over on horseback, dismounted, and landed right next to Yang Xuan, "Lang Jun!"
Yang Xuan took a piece of paper and when he saw the beautiful handwriting on it, he glanced at Jiang He'er. Jiang He'er raised his eyebrows and said, "Master has agreed on my handwriting!"
"Boasting!" Yang Xuan was offended by Jiang He'er. He took a closer look and raised his head, "The Huang family has thirteen shops, a brothel, and two wine shops in the city. Is this the Huang family who has a high moral integrity and despises businessmen?"
boom!
These words shocked the onlookers.
"How is this possible?"
"The Huang family has a good reputation!"
Huang Zhan clenched his fists, but sighed: "Why bother slandering me?"
"These properties are all owned by a man named Huang Lingtong. This man was a servant of the Huang family before he was twenty-five years old. When he came out at the age of twenty-five, he inexplicably took over a business called Huangfa.
And Huang Fa’s father was Huang’s housekeeper back then, so this was quite a twist.”
Yang Xuan stepped forward and said, "Where did the monthly interest go in the account books? Mr. Huang! Years of peace and pride made Mr. Huang feel that it would be good to just be a showman, but he was unlucky. When he met today's Mr. Yang,
Want to be more realistic.
These shops don’t pay taxes, Huang Zhan, who is helping the Huang family to evade taxes? These shops are full of fake goods. In brothels, there are even girls who are forced into prostitution! Huang Zhan!”
Huang Zhan sneered, "That's nonsense!"
You have no evidence!
Snap!
Yang Xuan slapped him away, then stretched out his hand.
Jiang Heer handed over a handkerchief, Yang Xuan wiped his hands and said, "My face is full of oil!"
As he spoke, he dropped the handkerchief on the ground.
Jiang Heer, "..."
The shopkeeper was brought.
The madam was brought.
He opened his mouth one by one and explained all the details of the business.
Huang!
Ass full of shit!
"It turns out that Mr. Huang has been doing business for so many years? But... doesn't Mr. Huang despise businessmen?"
An old man sighed: "While making money, you despise the means of making money. This person! Can't you become a female prostitute and keep saying that you are chaste?"
"Why is this?"
The old man said: "The more something is missing, the more it is made up for!"
"Then what does Huang lack?"
The old man shook his head, "Wicked!"
Huang Zhan turned around and said, "Brother Chen!"
Chen You, who is as close as a brother and has been friends for many years, changed his expression and said coldly: "I only have a casual acquaintance with you. I didn't expect you to be so shameless. From today on, I will break off our friendship with you!"
Tsk!
As he spoke, Chen You also got a short knife, cut off a piece of his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
Yang Xuan turned around, "Someone wants to ask me what I want to do when I come to Taoxian County."
The surrounding area became quiet, and everyone wanted to know the direction of this great talent in Huang Xianggong's eyes.
"I came to Taoxian County with two words." Boss Yang said: "Fair!"
He stood there with one hand behind his back and the other stretched out, raising his index and middle fingers, looking confident.
Behind him, Huang Zhan knelt down helplessly.
The people in front of me had smiles on their faces.
Just like the sky at this moment, the sun breaks through the dark clouds and shines light on the earth.
