Of course, regarding the tax issue, several bosses from the Finance and Taxation Bureau in Guangzhou have policies. For "frontline cities" like Wuzhou, the central government mainly controls the central allocation, but local governments can also share part of the profits. And that's it.
Judging from the current situation in Wuzhou, the Finance and Tax Office may just go through a procedure and allocate summer grain to Wuzhou...
Thinking of this, Xie Erren suddenly felt confident. He nodded and said, "Your idea is good! You can consider the details when you go back, and then find out among the merchants."
Luo Yangming immediately agreed. Then he explained his suspicions about "Mr. Hao" and hoped to send a letter to Teng County to "externally investigate" his details.
"This is simple," Xie Erren casually jotted it down in his notebook, "I will ask Lao Zhao to send a message when I draft the documents in the afternoon." He added, "If you are really suspicious, just arrest him and bring him to court."
Didn’t you know everything in the first trial?”
"He didn't do anything bad. Why would you arrest him for no reason? I think he is a capable person and a decent man. If there is no problem, you can use him. What if he has any sinister intentions and you have evidence to arrest him?
It’s easy to get him to speak.”
"Okay, you are an expert, so I won't interfere with your thinking." Xie Erren was in a good mood, "This external investigation will have results within a week at most. Just wait for the news."
Luo Yangming got the order arrow and started to organize it when he came back. It was not easy to raise funds, but also to choose the target. He suddenly thought that this idea came from Mr. Hao, so why not ask him and see what he had
It is said that if he is really an old fox, maybe he can pull out the fox's tail.
Thinking of this, he quietly called Li Wensheng and Yi Haoran over, and explained that the chief had agreed to raise funds from merchants to buy food. He pretended to be mysterious and said:
"This is still confidential at the moment. The chief has left this matter to me. There must be this charter: I know that you two are both people with a lot of troubles in their hearts. Please give me some advice."
Li Wensheng didn't know what his boss really meant, so he smiled and said: "What's the point of this? As long as there is money to be made, all the merchants will rush in like flies seeing blood - as soon as the news is released, the threshold of our shop will be trampled down.
.”
However, Yi Haoran was wary. He knew that his boss had already suspected him. Even if he was not an Australian spy, he was still working for the Australians. He had to deal with it carefully.
He recalled all the previous things and decided that he should not avoid this matter, otherwise it would appear that he was harboring evil intentions. Now he suggested with a slightly excited expression: "This matter is beneficial to the country and the people! In the simple opinion of a student, among local merchants,
The richest one is Pingma Company, but now most of them are hiding and will not take out the money if they have it; followed by Migu Trading Company - I know the situation of this business very well, and then there is Silk and Satin Clothing Company. Silk and Satin Company
The cloth business is very costly, and even though Xiong Wencan has ruined it, there is still some capital left..."
"Sir, what you said makes sense." Luo Yangming saw that he didn't hide it, and in just a few words he pointed the topic at the Silk and Satin Guild. He was very excited, and immediately thought of Jiang Qiuchan - Miss Jiang was Ding Atao's best friend.
Hao Ran was recommended to his store by Jiang Qiuchan through Ding Atao's relationship...
So that's what happened. Luo Yangming thought, this was reciprocating a favor, trying to win over the Jiang family. Maybe there was some benefit in it. Thinking of this, his suspicion of Mr. Hao became slightly lighter - at least in this matter
He has no conspiracy, just nepotistic profit-making.
"The Satin Guild is not bad, but who will be responsible for it?" he asked deliberately.
Hao Rangan laughed a few times and said: "As far as the students know, the Jiang family of Ruijin Hall has always been willing to actively get closer to the Senate. I can pay attention to it."
Luo Yangming nodded slightly: "Shopkeeper Jiang? Since he took over Nai's father's business, there hasn't been any special improvement in the store. He is a talented person."
"Yes, it is precisely because he can only defend his position. Now that the war is in chaos, he is afraid that he will not be able to defend it even if he wants to. He is willing to go out and give it a try."
"Since you recommend his family so much, I will go see him tomorrow."
"Well, why do you need me to see you? I sent Ah Chun to send a message. He must be here to pay my respects." Yi Haoran said with a deliberately anxious look.
Seeing that he was so anxious, Luo Yangming felt relieved. Even if Mr. Hao was an old member of the government and a scholar trapped here, he would not cause any big trouble. We will wait for the results of Teng County's external investigation to come out. It depends on the situation.
Just keep banging and banging.
"Now that I have been suspected by Luo Yangming, things need to be accelerated." Yi Haoran carefully observed the surroundings to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and then whispered in a low voice.
"General Song sent Zhang Yong to contact me." Jiang Suo held up the pole and said, "He is all ready. I have also arranged my manpower here, just waiting to start. But there is no news from Master Chang. I haven't seen him for several days.
He's out."
When Yi Haoran heard that Chang Qingyun had disappeared, he was secretly worried: Chang Juren had never had any backbone, and he used the excuse to blackmail him. If this person couldn't bear the pressure in his heart and went to accuse him, everything would be over.
Unfortunately, there are currently many things that require him, a person who is easy to move around, to contact. This is why he took the risk to recruit him into the group in the first place.
"Should we find someone to contact him..."
"I don't want it for now. The place where he stays is crowded with people and it's too eye-catching."
"It doesn't matter. There is a new brother who joins the gang, and he works as an errand at Sanhezui. Let him go and have a look first - if there is nothing strange, just send him a letter quietly asking him to come out."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
It turns out that Chang Qingyun was forced to be Sun Qiaoniang's "godfather". Even if the "wedding" was held that night, Liu Youzhi was a rough guy and didn't care about the three-matchmaker and four-employment routine. However, there were many people in the camp who liked him.
Liu was expected to get married. Immediately, someone came to decorate the auditorium and send congratulatory gifts. Before nightfall, a banquet was even served.
Chang Qingyun originally didn't want to be a "godfather", but he didn't dare to resist, so he was put on new clothes in a daze. Two strong servants escorted Sun Qiaoniang to "become a godfather". The girl refused to be a godfather, so she was forced to do so.
She was forced to kneel down and kowtow three times. Chang Qingyun was so ashamed that he turned his face away and did not dare to look at her.
What followed was a lot of tossing. Chang Qingyun was like a puppet on strings, doing whatever others asked him to do. He completely lost all feeling, as if he was having a nightmare.
The farce didn't stop until nearly three o'clock in the morning. Although Liu Youyou and his gang were drunk until they were unconscious, Chang Qingyun, the "father-in-law", was also drunk until the afternoon of the next day in his dormitory.
Wake up on the bed.
As soon as he sobered up, Chang Qingyun was filled with regret. Not only did he not have the courage to help Sun Qiao Niang protect his innocence, he instead aided the tyrants and became a kind of "godfather". He also swallowed his anger and got drunk at the "wedding banquet".
Originally, he wanted to go to Yi Haoran immediately to discuss the riot, but that night, news came out that Sun Qiaoniang had committed suicide. Liu expected to be furious, and Chang Qingyun was also arrested, and was beaten inexplicably. Two days later,
The genius is released.
Sun Qiaoniang's suicide greatly stimulated Chang Qingyun. When she was forced to kowtow and was dragged away, her miserable and helpless cry for help, "Master, save me," seemed to echo in his ears all the time. Chang Qingyun's life was full of passion.
Not much, only three minutes of heat, but this time, he was determined to fight the thief to the end even if he sacrificed his life!
As soon as he received the meeting news from the insider, Chang Qingyun found an excuse to leave the labor camp and meet Yi Haoran.
Yi Haoran already knew what was going on in the camp at this time. After seeing Chang Qingyun, he knew in a few words that it was Wu Xia Amen, so he quietly told him the current action plan.
The core of the plan is Gou Xunli's suggestion: raid the prefect's Yamen and capture or kill Xie Erren. It is simple to say but not easy to do. Although there are not many garrisons inside and outside Wuzhou City, the garrisons echo each other, and the garrisons everywhere echo each other.
The communication is convenient and the troops respond quickly. It is not that easy to make a sneak attack.
The biggest obstacle is an infantry company stationed in the Third General Office, which is the core of the Wuzhou garrison. It can be said that as long as this company is there, they can't even think of a successful raid in Wuzhou City.
Next are the four squadrons under the Wuzhou Brigade of the National Army. Although the equipment and training levels of these four squadrons are uneven, and most of the soldiers do not even have muskets, no matter how poor their combat effectiveness is, Gou Erye's
Bandits are no match either. Only Song Ming's soldiers can still fight.
Yi Haoran roughly understood the Australian defenses in the city: Wuzhou itself was very small, and Luo Yangming's rice shop was also responsible for rationing military food. In addition, Wen Tietou often came to the shop to chat, and he could also get information from his mouth.
A lot of news.
"...This Zhenkun lives and works in the magistrate's office on weekdays, and spends the night in the Third General Mansion at night. It's not easy to get started in either of these places." Yi Haoran said softly.
There are not only battle infantry companies in the Third General Office, but also part of the National Army, which can be said to be heavily guarded. The city defense headquarters and the Wuzhou Brigade Headquarters of the National Army are located in the Cangwu County Yazhong next to the prefect’s Yamen. One of the strongest
The National Army squadron directly defends the prefect's Yamen and the adjacent Nanxun Gate and Dezheng Gate. If a police situation occurs in one place, reinforcements can come from everywhere in a short time.
It is almost impossible to imitate Hou Dagou's old trick of sneaking into the city and arresting the important officials. Even if you are lucky enough to break into the city, you will soon be trapped in a tight siege and die in vain.
If the plan is to succeed, it is necessary to "move the tiger away from the mountain." This kind of opportunity is rare. Yi Haoran wants to recruit Chang Qingyun to join the gang, and he also wants to cause trouble in Sanhezui. Whether it is organizing riots or arson, he can contain it.
