Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 74
"Think about it, Qin Feng has established such a good reputation in front of these ordinary people, and it only needs to wait a year before it can all be ruined. Forty thousand households! That is outraged by the public, you say, this Qin Feng Can it end well?"

When Hu Lai said this, everyone suddenly became enlightened. Even Zhang Shun, who was very angry, gradually faded away the anger on his face, and seriously considered the possibility in Hu Lai's words.

After thinking about it, that's really the case.

Hu Lai continued: "In Qin Feng's hands, there is only more than 1 taels of silver from the Jiawu raid. He can pass this year's level. What about next year? He won't have so much money next year. And a Years of hard work, even if he wants to break his head, he still can't earn enough money!"

"If he doesn't pay back the money owed this year next year, do you think the common people will help him?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. This Qin Feng is now in a daze, and if he wants to commit crimes on his own, you and I just need to wait and see what happens. After a year of hard work, it is also a beautiful thing to see that Qin Feng is in dire straits. thing!"

Zhang Shun was finally persuaded, gritted his teeth, and said to everyone: "What the officials said is not bad, but I was wrong. I only thought that Qin Feng would play tricks, and I ignored that we don't want to be with Qin Feng at all. Contact. The money that should be earned must not be earned less!"

"Come here! Open a warehouse! Sell food!"

Ninghai County is not big, with a total population of [-] households.

The news about Qin Feng's harvesting of grain was widely spread, and soon the whole county knew about it.

There was a long queue at the county warehouse, and every household pushed small carts, or directly dragged them by people, and each family had at least five bags.

Some families are better at saving, and have more money, even ten bags and fifteen bags.

Qin Feng personally supervised each bag of grain. The quality of each bag of grain was checked by grain spies. After confirming that there was no problem, it was collected in the county treasury, and the IOU was written and signed.

Later, in order to obtain the IOU, he also asked someone to engrave a version, which was printed directly, and he only needed to sign and draw a deposit.

On the third day, even though Qin Feng calculated that the quantity was almost the same, he asked the yamen servants to spread the word, telling the farmers not to buy the grain before they sold it.

On the fourth day, the grain tax of 26 shi was collected!

The three county treasuries were all packed to the brim.

The county residents who didn't catch up sighed, but there was nothing they could do.

The 5000 taels of silver that Qin Feng got from raiding his home in the Jiawu period, and bought it for 3 yuan and 5 shi, unexpectedly left some.

He spent more than 100 silver vehicles, hired some people, chariots and horses, and transported the grain directly to the state capital.

The Yamen of the prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture.

In the yamen, a banquet was held, besides the magistrate, there were also many distinguished guests sitting in the prefect's position.

Among these people, sitting impressively was an acquaintance of Qin Feng, none other than the eunuch who read the imperial edict to Qin Feng.

This eunuch is obviously of high rank, even the magistrate would smile at him respectfully.

But at this time, he is not the highest in the table.

He was pouring wine for a young man.

"Your Highness, the First Prince, this Dengzhou Prefecture is rich in water and soil, and the seafood is a must. Come, this servant has grilled a piece of prawns for His Highness, try it, it's much fresher than the frozen goods that were transported to the palace!"

"Ah."

The eldest prince nodded arrogantly, pointed to his own plate, and the eunuch immediately put it into the plate for him.

He enjoyed it for a while, smiled with satisfaction, raised his head and said to the magistrate: "Tomorrow, I will return to the palace, and I have to explain to you, and you must do it well. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, the eldest prince! With the officials here, I guarantee that Qin Feng will not be able to make any waves."

"I don't just want you to watch him. This Qin Feng is meddling in his own business. You should know what will happen. As the magistrate, you should think of a way and take care of it."

The eldest prince was angry about Qin Feng saving his two-year-old brother, the little prince.

Although he asked the emperor to seal Qin Feng on the surface, in fact he blamed Qin Feng in his heart.

"Yes! I understand!"

The magistrate cupped his hands at the eldest prince, and said: "However, eldest prince, in fact, Qin Feng doesn't need to take care of it. You only need to wait two or three months before it's time to pay the grain tax. By then, Qin Feng will definitely not be able to pay the tax." superior!"

"Oh? A few days ago, didn't you say that Dengzhou has good weather and good weather this year, is it a good year? Why can't he pay it?"

The First Prince raised his eyebrows.

"His Royal Highness, the good year is true, but the land in Ninghai County was bought up by the local gentry many years ago, and now the farmers in Ninghai County rent and grow, and they only get 2% of the grain. Ask the people to pay enough food taxes, and they will starve to death by the end of the year.”

"In previous years, Master Jiawu from Ninghai County went to intercede with the squire for food tax, and asked the squire to donate some to make up for it."

"But according to our government's understanding, this year, this Qin Feng plotted against Master Jiawu and offended the local squire! The squire will definitely not help Qin Feng at all!"

"In this way, how can he pay the grain tax?"

As soon as the magistrate’s voice finished speaking, a servant rushed in from outside the door: “Report—Master Zhifu, Qin Feng, the county magistrate of Ninghai County, asks to see you.”

"Ok?"

The magistrate froze for a moment and frowned.

This really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, why is he here?
The prince also glanced back, and asked leisurely: "What is he doing here? Could it be that he is asking for a reduction or exemption of food tax?"

"Maybe so."

The prefect nodded quickly, and he couldn't think of any more reasonable explanation.

"Then do you know how to deal with it?"

"Naturally, it is categorically rejected! Don't give him a tax cut!"

The magistrate answered the eldest prince with a flattering smile, turned around and put on a cold face with his subordinates: "Did you hear that? You, go directly and drive Qin Feng back, and tell him that if the autumn harvest is not enough to pay the grain tax, just wait for me to write the memorial book." Sue him for incompetence!"

After the prefect and the eldest prince finished talking, the servants reported back: "Uh...Master Prefect, Your Highness the First Prince, the prefect of Qin County did not come to ask for tax cuts. He...he brought a lot of people and dozens of cars. The big cart is here to pay the grain tax in advance..."

"what?"

The magistrate thought he heard it wrong: "What do you think he is here for?"

"He's here to pay the food tax in advance."

Pay food tax in advance?
The prefect was shocked!

Even if he is the dignified magistrate, he has never heard of the fact that there is an early payment of food tax!

In previous years, which county didn't procrastinate again and again, and some even delayed from autumn harvest to winter before paying the grain tax that should be paid?

Collecting taxes is no easy task.

Pay in advance?
What the hell?

The eldest prince also had a displeasure face, and glared at the magistrate, thinking that the magistrate was too unreliable, and just now he said that Qin Feng would definitely not be able to hand in, so he immediately came to slap him in the face.

He put the wine glass heavily on the table, and said in a cold voice: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry over and have a look? What's going on?"

The prince is the descendant of the real dragon, the power of the dragon is terrifying, the magistrate was startled, he nodded quickly and said: "Yes! This subordinate will go and check it now!"
