After Zhao Jin, all the other wealthy gentry slumped on their chairs.
They looked at each other and took a long breath.
I have never been so lucky. In the past, I believed in leaving a thin line in doing things and not killing them all. Now, I have left a way for myself to survive.
After Zhao Jin returned to the government office, he suddenly remembered something and called Takeda who was still in the government office.
"Takeda, go tell the shopkeeper of Yingke Building what happened today and ask him to tell Lin Qingsong."
"Yes, sir." Takeda vaguely guessed that Lin Qingsong was the young man Zhao Jin met during the Lantern Festival.
After Zhao Jin arrested all these tycoons, he acted like lightning, quickly collected evidence, convicted and executed them, without leaving them any time to react.
By the time Chen Jin received the news, everything was a foregone conclusion.
After Zhao Jin's attack, the remaining gentry felt quite obedient and cooperated with the government office in verifying the household registration affairs and did not dare to hide anything.
After such an investigation, Zhao Jin discovered that the previous household registration and taxation were really problematic.
No wonder the annual taxes are so small that people outside Yunzhou think that Yunzhou is a barren and barren place.
Even after experiencing the plague, the household registrations found now include a quarter more people than before!
This means that Yunzhou’s previous annual tax revenue has been reduced by a quarter.
If the money had gone into the pockets of the common people, Zhao Jin would not be so angry, but in the end it went into the pockets of the wealthy gentry!
"From now on, household registration must be strictly checked!" Zhao Jin looked coldly.
Taxation is extremely important to Yunzhou City. Everything is inseparable from money. If the government has no money, then Zhao Jin will be at a loss to do anything.
Therefore, there must be no problem with taxation.
It's not that Zhao Jin can't make money on his own. With a lot of modern knowledge in his possession, it won't be a problem to make a lot of money in ancient times. However, all of this will take time.
Moreover, this is Zhao Jin's private treasury after all, and the private treasury is used to supplement the public treasury. Once this behavior continues for a long time, it will form a dependence, which will cause a lot of harm and no benefit.
also.
Because Zhao Jin arrested a large number of wealthy gentry, there was a huge vacancy in the entire Yunzhou market.
The wealthy gentry who were originally panic-stricken immediately threw all their worries aside when they saw this big piece of fat, and started scrambling to grab this piece of fat.
However, the scene where Zhao Jin broke into the box and took the person away was too much of a shock to them, so everyone was careful to restrain their hands and feet to avoid touching Lu Chen's bottom line.
The ones who bit off the most meat this time were the Zhou Cheng Lin family.
The Lin family's shops and restaurants can be found all over the place.
The largest welcoming building in Yunzhou belongs to their family.
However, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. As an outsider, the Lin family does not have an advantage in Yunzhou City.
Fortunately, Lin Qingsong received the news from Zhao Jin and rushed to Yunzhou without stopping. He made a prompt decision and devoured a lot of it, making the Lin family one of the best in Yunzhou.
Guest building.
"Caomin, thank you for informing me." Lin Qingsong bowed deeply to Zhao Jin.
If Zhao Jin hadn't informed him of this incident, the Lin family would have missed this opportunity.
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "You're welcome."
All the wealthy gentry in Yunzhou City, except for a very small number, have more or less problems.
Although the Lin family is not a local businessman in Yunzhou City, their character is extremely good.
In this case, it is better to let the Lin family move in.
After all, he and the Lin family now have a cooperative relationship. If the Lin family benefits, he also benefits.
Based on his relationship with Prince Liang and the emperor's thoughts behind his back, Zhao Jin knew that he could not just be a small Yunzhou county governor.
A county guard, surrounded by wolves, has no perfect means to protect the people he wants to protect.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, removing the ambition from his eyes.
Historically, Zhu Di was able to conquer Peking and finally win the country.
Why can't he take Yunzhou as his foundation?
After the household registration verification, Yunzhou City returned to its previous calm.
I just don’t know why, but in recent days, many merchants have been quite anxious.
One day.
Mrs. Ning and Chu Weiqing made an appointment to go to the temple to pray for blessings.
Inside the carriage.
"I heard that Qingyin Temple is very effective! People who have been there say that bad luck turns into good luck." Mrs. Ning's eyes were filled with joy.
Compared with when he was at Prince Liang's Mansion, the depression between his brows has completely dissipated, and his condition is not even the slightest bit better.
Chu Weiqing had a smile on his face, "I have also heard that I can pray for A Jin, Madam, and the people of Yunzhou City."
Mrs. Ning looked at this prospective daughter-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied and happy she became.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them disagreed, she would have wanted them to get married first.
"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I might have to come out alone." Mrs. Ning took Chu Weiqing's hand and patted it gently.
There was a smile on Chu Weiqing's eyebrows, "Madam's words are serious, A Jin will definitely accompany Madam."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ning shook her head and sighed: "He is busy all day now, so I can't bother him with such trivial matters."
"How is that possible?" Chu Weiqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect Mrs. Ning to have such thoughts. "As far as A Jin is concerned, Madam's affairs are the most important thing."
"I know he is filial, but I can't bother him with everything. The affairs of a county are complicated, and if he is distracted by these trivial matters, Jin'er will be really tired."
Mrs. Ning explained.
Chu Weiqing discovered that the mother and son really missed each other.
"Madam, you..."
Before Chu Weiqing finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook violently!
The two of them supported each other so they didn't fall.
"What happened?" Chu Weiqing asked outside, wanting to open the curtain and see what was going on.
The guard outside tightened the curtain to prevent Chu Weiqing from poking his head out. His voice was low and nervous, "Don't come out, it's a bandit."
Bandit?
The two were startled, and Mrs. Ning quickly grabbed Chu Weiqing's hand and pulled her back.
Outside the carriage.
"Keep the money, grandpa, and I will spare your life!"
The leader was a big man with flowery arms and a fierce look.
The bandits following behind him each carried a big knife in their hands and had tight muscles on their bodies. It was obvious that none of them were easy to mess with.
Takeda's expression was tense and he shouted angrily: "How dare you! Where did the thief come from, dare to say such arrogant words here!"
Half of the people protecting Mrs. Ning and Chu Weiqing were soldiers and half were government guards.
The person who just answered Chu Weiqing was the Yamen Guard from the government office.
Takeda and others, although they see that these bandits are difficult to deal with, they will never be afraid of them.
Several "Qiang!" sounds sounded.
People on both sides drew their swords and stared at him eagerly.
"Protect Madam and Miss Chu." Takeda lowered his voice and said to Yawei.
Those people have extraordinary skills, and these government guards are not necessarily opponents. If there is a real fight, if these government guards get involved, they will be in the way.
"Okay, be careful."
