When the governor heard this, his face turned pale.
He glared at Ji Jing fiercely and said: "You don't need to talk about the past things. What I want to set is this year's taxes. Last year, I gave the names of the taxes. This year, what are the names? All must be present.
Please draw up a charter. I want you to set an amount for those items. Do you understand? "
Lian Jing didn't understand.
Those ridiculous taxes that many places in the country no longer collect are no longer collected in Fenzhou. This was suddenly added... Especially since the governor wanted to increase the amount, he didn't want to understand.
I just want to argue with reason.
Che Yishi, the county magistrate of Rufu County, said to Lian Jing: "Magistrate Lian, you can't just look at whether those poor people have rice in their homes, you have to look at how dilapidated the city of Fenzhou is. .
Is it time for the city wall in this state to be repaired? It’s time for the official roads to be straightened out, right? How many small buildings should be built in the Governor's Mansion so that the common people can admire them, right?
No matter how much trouble that person makes, the buildings and walls he builds will be passed down through the ages and become his great achievements, legends and history books.
how? What the rebels did, our governor cannot do?
But just because you received an extra three melons and two dates, do you have to confront the governor?
You Fenzhou officials, if our governor hadn't brought us here last year, you wouldn't even have received your salary for several months, right?
In my opinion, a few more items need to be added to the various tax items this year.
For example: medical treatment tax, funeral tax, firewood tax, house repair and construction tax, house land tax, population travel tax, meal tax, alcohol tax, etc., they all have to be collected, and more must be collected.
Otherwise, the new city wall cannot be built, and what if the Turks attack?
If the common people are really unwilling to pay, you can ask them whether they want to pay taxes to save their lives, or whether they want to keep food and lose their lives, ah? "
Lian Jing was immediately furious when he heard these words.
He slapped the table and yelled: "You idiot Che Yishi, do you have to be so evil because your ancestral grave was dug up? There are already dozens of names, and you still don't think it's enough! Just you just Those merchants who are in charge of the business have already paid the business tax, but you still have to collect it from both ends. Did your parents lack something when they gave birth to you? What made you so short-hearted, heartless, and weak-intestinal? !”
After scolding, Lian Jing suddenly changed his face to a mocking smile and said: "That's right, you are just scraping the land. If something happens, you can just run away with your money and start scraping again in another place. What the hell!"
Lian Jing's words were tantamount to peeling off the faces of everyone present, from the governor to certain officials, from the inside out, and throwing them to the ground and trampling on them.
Not to mention that Che Yishi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, even the governor could no longer keep it off his face.
He pointed at Lian Jing and shouted: "You disrespect Shangguan and you should be killed for talking about the law. Come on!"
Lian Jing interrupted him.
"How come I don't respect my superior? How can I disrespect my superior when I give you suggestions and good-hearted advice? Even if you are your majesty, you should let all the civil and military officials give you advice, right? Why, you are more cruel and domineering than your majesty?" quite?
The lower official spoke rudely to Che Yoshi, but he and the lower official are on the same level. Do you want the lower official to respect him as if he were a superior official? Where is such an article in the national law? "
Lord Governor: "..."
He was instantly speechless.
But who is he? He is Wu Zhenguo and a member of the Wu family!
He said that the law is the law, and his orders are the orders. If you disobey his words, you will slap all the Wu family in the face!
He brushed the tea cup off the ground and said with a gloomy face: "Effective immediately, Che Yishi will be promoted to two ranks. Now, Lian Jing, what else can you say?!"
Lian Jing's expression became even more mocking.
He cupped his hands and replied: "The officer treated him disrespectfully before he was promoted to the rank at this moment. You still can't punish the officer's crimes indiscriminately."
Wu Zhenguo: "...You, a little seven-rank official, dare to challenge this governor. Listen, from now on, you have been dismissed from office. The reason? I don't like you! Get out!" "
Get out!
Lian Jing threw away his official hat, took off his official robe and boots, and walked out wearing only his middle coat, white socks, and his hair.
When Wu Zhenguo saw this, he let out a cold "hum".
At this time, Huo Liangxue, the magistrate of Huili County, spoke out to persuade him: "Master Governor, Magistrate Lian's temper has always been like this. You really don't have to worry about it. He is still very practical in his work. If you want to implement the taxes and regulations , He really has to take action, and the people are willing to listen to him."
"What the hell are you talking about! Are the seven or eight county magistrates like us all just doing nothing? Are they not as good as Lian Jing alone?"
At this time, Che Yi was really angry. When he heard Huo Liangxue's words, his anger was directed at Huo Liangxue.
Huo Liangxue was confused. He looked at Che Yoshi and asked doubtfully: "Brother Yoshi, did I provoke you?"
"Hey! Do you still need to provoke me? You and Lian Jing are just wearing the same pants. You old nest chickens in Fenzhou who don't move your butts just can't stand us new arrivals, so you want to unite and exclude us. Us, if you want to help Lianjing, don’t think I can’t hear it!”
Che Yoshi responded to Huo Liangxue in a confused manner.
The good-tempered and honest Huo Liangxue was so angry that he immediately became furious.
He raised his hand and "Pah!" and gave Che Yishi a big slap in the face.
He scolded: "You are really a bastard who relies on your strength and lacks heart!"
Cha Yishi was stunned by this slap. He covered his cheek, which was visibly swollen, and pointed at Huo Liangxue, "You, you, you..."
"puff!"
Before you could say anything, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and stuck it out.
The imperial court has court meetings, and the government offices have government meetings.
Now, this government meeting can no longer proceed at all.
Because who is Cha Il-sil?
He is a confidant who is closer to Wu Zhenguo's heart than Jia Pengyi.
Jia Pengyi still has some thoughts of his own about Wu Zhenguo. But Che Yishi is the roundworm in Wu Zhenguo's stomach, the gun barrel in his hand, and the pillow on his back.
No matter what Wu Zhenguo wants to do or what he wants to do, Che Yishi can be considerate and make arrangements for everything.
Even if Wu Zhenguo wants Cha Yoshi to kill the entire Che family, or even the entire clan, to support him, Cha Yoshi will do so without hesitation.
Therefore, wherever Wu Zhenguo went, he would take Che Yishi with him.
When Wu Zhenguo fled Cangzhou City in embarrassment, he left Jia Pengyi behind and took Che Yishi away with him.
However, His Majesty could let Wu Zhenguo himself go by abandoning the city, but His Majesty would not just let go of some of the people he brought out, including Che Yishi.
Even if His Majesty is willing to calculate it, the officials will not be able to tell it.
Therefore, Che Yishi could only be demoted four levels and become a county magistrate.
Che Yizhen has no complaints or regrets.
This time he ran away and couldn't even take care of his family, leaving them all in Cangzhou. Now that he has become a county magistrate, he has no regrets. He is still racking his brains to make suggestions for Wu Zhenguo to gain a foothold in Fenzhou.
It's really hard to pedal and lead the horse, and to boil the liver with oil.
But Cha Yishi has never been ashamed of being slapped in public.
