In the end, he decided that the content of his appeal would no longer dwell on the fact that the county government restricted his power for no reason, but would instead recount to the letter the grudge he had with Fang Hong and how he was expelled from Shuiluan.
Then he wrote in the complaint that Jun Guan sent a senior brother with whom he had an old grudge. This move was extremely inappropriate and asked Jun Guan to take back his order.
After writing three letters, he sent the first two through the Municipal People's Information Bureau that night. The third settlement was an official document. When he came to the office, it was already past the off-duty time. So he found Liang Xingling and asked the woman to register and receive it first.
As for whether she would forward the letter to Fang Hong or whether Fang Hong would stop the complaint from being sent out, Yang Zhen didn't care.
This is a formal official document. If the other party really did that, it would be what he wanted.
…
The next morning, Fang Hong convened everyone to discuss matters.
The meeting hall was chosen in a side room in the backyard of the main hall, and the only participants were the chief and deputy masters, six stewards, and a handyman in charge of records in the office, a total of ten people.
Fang Hong sat down at the main seat and glanced at Yang Zhen from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that the other person's face was as calm as water, he couldn't help but sneer secretly.
Liang Xingling naturally showed him Yang Zhen's letter of complaint first. He didn't think it would have any impact on him. Guanzhu Zhang already knew about the conflict between him and Yang Zhen, otherwise he would not have sent him here.
You were originally ordered by the state palace, but if you go to appeal to the state palace, aren't you asking for trouble?
What a fool!
What he cared more about was Liang Xingling's actions.
This means that after yesterday's banquet, the subordinates of the county government obeyed and surrendered to him, and Yang Zhen was isolated.
Mr. Yang, your subordinates don’t listen to you. After three months, I wonder how you can still sit on this chair? Pooh!
"It's just one thing today," Fang Hong glanced at the audience majestically and said with a cold face:
"Except for the Jing'an Office, the other five offices must report their annual income, what sources it comes from, how much is paid in, and how much is retained. No false reports or concealments are allowed!"
"Well, let's start with the comfort room first, Manager Liang!"
A middle-aged man with regular features and slender figure stood up. Fang Hong pressed his hand down, indicating that he should sit down and speak.
Liang Xingsong was obviously prepared. He took out a pile of texts, pulled out the top piece of paper and read:
"There are a total of 511 casual cultivators recorded in this county. About 100 people register and pay fees every year, with an annual income of 100 spirit stones; the average number of people who register and pay fees every three years is 360 people, which is equivalent to Earn six hundred spirit stones every year."
"There are still more than ten people who have registered but are unable to pay the fees. There are also 39 people who have not registered in this county for more than five years."
"In addition, there are casual cultivators from other places who register in this county, and the number varies every year. Based on last year's calculation, there were a total of sixty-two people, with an income of one hundred and ten spiritual stones."
In Xu State, even family monks, even if their cultivation has already established the foundation of Zifu, as long as they are not serving in the sect and are not disciples of the sect, they are all regarded as casual cultivators.
Casual cultivators can choose to register once a year locally or at a county hall or county temple in another place and pay one spirit stone; they can also choose to register once every three years and the fee is increased to five stones.
There are also those who come to register but really don’t have any spirit stones to hand over. There will be a record on this kind of token. From now on, whether this person travels or obtains practice resources, he will be subject to various restrictions.
Well, just like the dishonest person in Yang Zhen's previous life.
Liang Xingsong finished speaking, followed by a report from his clan sister.
The income of the office mainly comes from the management of the city and the leasing of caves. Among them, just a second-level low-grade cave rented by the Liang family can cost one thousand spiritual stones a year.
The total income for the whole year is close to eleven thousand spiritual stones.
Next is Yu Jinshi. Although Wushui County is rich in resources, half of the income from the mines usually goes to the mining company, and the other half goes to the sect, leaving a little for the local government.
Even so, this income exceeds eight thousand spirit stones.
After that is the correctional room. The only income of this room comes from teaching some magic techniques, alchemy tips, formations, etc. to casual cultivators every year, which is equivalent to a cram school for casual cultivators.
The total amount was only two or three hundred, which was very shabby.
Finally, there is the branch room. This room doesn't care about earning spiritual stones, it just holds the money bag and cares about spending money.
"The county's annual spiritual stone income is about 20,000. As for the expenses," Heituyue paused, bit his lip and said, "The sect has ordered that the counties surrounding the Million Mountains must retain spiritual stones to prepare for disasters such as beast tides. , and cannot be spent at will, so..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Fang Hong knocking on the table:
"Just tell me the balance, you don't need to explain these reasons!"
Hei Tuyue's expression froze, and he took a deep breath and continued reading: "Wushui County has a surplus of around 15,000 spiritual stones every year."
Fang Hong's eyes suddenly lit up and he interrupted: "Where were the five thousand missing spiritual stones spent?"
"Part of it is to purchase magical artifacts, talismans, elixirs, formation disks, etc. to replenish the treasury. The rest is to reimburse each office for official expenses, hiring handymen, and some expenses during holidays."
"Well, sort out the detailed income and expenditure over the past few years and show it to me tomorrow." Fang Hong explained.
"yes."
…
Two days later, Yang Zhen’s two personal letters received replies.
The first is Zhao Yue'er's. Although Yang Zhen didn't say it explicitly, the little girl had the same feelings as him. After learning about the quarrel between the Palace Master of Chongyun Palace and Yang Zhen, she found Shuihong Zhenren and told the story in a story-telling way, and then asked her master:
"Grandma Grandma, is it right for Little Stone to do that? Is there a better way?"
"Whether that's right or not depends on the person," Shuihong said with a smile: "When cultivating as a monk, you pay attention to following your original intention. Do things according to your original intention. Hesitating and changing orders day by day is the worst."
She looked at the girl lovingly: "Okay, I understand what you mean, mother-in-law. When I see Master Dou one day, I will tell him and I won't let your little lover be wronged, haha!"
Looking at the girl's blushing cheeks, Shuihong laughed.
She was in a very good mood during this period. For no other reason than Yin Luxiang, her old enemy, was sent to Hanzhou.
This really makes me laugh when I think about it, haha!
Dou Manxiong was also very loyal. After receiving Yang Zhen's letter, he went to Tianyou Peak to pay homage to his ancestor.
As a dual spirit root, he is still quite valued in the family. In addition, his carefree temperament makes him more popular with the ancestor. Therefore, although he is just a junior Qi practitioner, the ancestor still chatted with him cordially for a while. .
During this period, he asked bluntly, my good friend Yang Zhen, I heard that you personally named him to take a post in Chongzhou, but what considerations do you have for him?
"The ancestor said four words at that time," Dou Manxiong wrote in the letter:
"Do your job well."
