Although Cang Shuliang was startled by Gu Yucheng's fierce questioning, he quickly calmed down. "This is also the reason why my subordinates can't see clearly Governor Tan..."
"Ji Rang said, the Sha family controls four counties, and Tonglu and Jin Ji don't have much respect for Governor Tan. - Regarding these situations, Governor Tan is completely indifferent and completely indifferent to worldly affairs. The appearance of a hermit."
Cang Shuliang remained silent, then thought that Susukino Rang and Gu Yucheng seemed to be the confidants of the Northern Governor, and sighed softly.
When Bei Furu promoted the monks in Huguan County, he did not name Gu Yucheng. Therefore, the various governors did not know that Gu Yucheng was Bei Fuzhen's confidant.
They thought Susukino was the leader and Gu Yu was the assistant.
Bei Fuyu only needs the county guards to know about Gu Yucheng so that Gu Yucheng can participate in the big trial as a confidant. Naturally, there is no need to announce this.
Cang Shuliang believed that Susukino Rang was also a minister of Kitabusa, but this was consistent with the information he knew.
Cang Shuliang said, "Your Excellency is the confidant of the Northern Prefect, and sooner or later he will have a thorough understanding of Jujang Road. Let your subordinates inform you in advance."
Susukino's eyes flashed, but he was somewhat calm at the moment, and he said calmly, "Let's talk."
Cang Shuliang said calmly, "Prefect Susukino, you are from the county office, so you must be aware of taxation issues."
Susukino nodded, "There are two biggest sources of taxes in the demon country, the Jianghu gangs and the temple families."
Cang Shuliang's eyes were blazing, "The Sha family has embezzled part of the taxes on Jurangdao. The Tan family has embezzled part of it. Tonglu and Jinji counties have lost more than half of it."
"Prefect Tan has never dealt with these situations. Even if the Northern Prefect personally rebuked him, Prefect Tan didn't care at all. - This is what Prefect Tan Ling Cang Shu can't understand." Cang Shuliang frowned slightly. Wrinkled, looking very distressed.
A governor who dared not take care of his subordinates actually dared not care about the county governor's reprimand.
Not to mention that Cang Shuliang couldn't understand it, neither could Gu Yucheng and Susukino Rang.
Gu Yucheng gritted his teeth and pursed his lips tightly, slowly realizing that something was wrong.
Cang Shuliang told, "There are three major tax households in the Demon Kingdom: retail households, temple families, and Jianghu gangs. Among them, casual cultivators are taxed the most, up to half, and the remaining resources are not enough for cultivators to practice."
"As for Jianghu gangs, it depends on their size. Big gangs have less taxes. Small gangs have more taxes." Cang Shuliang sighed, "This is how the strong will always be strong. It is also the way of human beings. If you lose enough, you will be rewarded." '!"
Gu Yucheng slowly closed his eyes.
The same goes for the Central Plains.
Manipulating Nanjun everywhere, the Gu family mine in Nanjun is completely transfusing blood for Beidaozong.
In the entire Nan County, there is not even a single enlightenment monk!
After the Supreme Sermon, still nothing.
Among them, is it really just that Nan County has no genius? ——Gu Yucheng didn’t believe it at all.
"As for the taxes of the Tangmiao family, they also fluctuate from one-third to one-tenth."
Cang Shuliang breathed slightly calmly, "But... the taxation of Jujangdao has nothing to do with this value. The taxation of Jujangdao is pitifully small."
"All of this is not only due to Ju Rangdao. It is also definitely the tacit approval of Governor Tan!" After Cang Shuliang finished speaking, he fell completely silent.
After a while, Gu Yucheng sighed, "The servants in the governor's residence are dispensable. And everything you showed us today is obviously for us to accept you..."
Cang Shuliang didn't deny it, he squeezed his hands tightly, very nervous.
Gu Yucheng's expression gradually became depressed.
Cang Shuliang suddenly woke up and was shocked:
"Me! Why am I so confused! I actually show my sharpness! The man with golden eyes in front of me must be the one who advises the Susukino Prefecture! My appearance and my knowledge threaten his position!" Cang Shuliang became completely panicked.
Gu Yucheng sighed in his heart, "It's ridiculous that God is sending out talented people. It's ridiculous that the world doesn't appreciate talents."
"Cang Shuliang, you have such knowledge, but you only work as a handyman monk..." Gu Yucheng suddenly thought of Zhang Zhilin and Han Yin.
"What kind of handyman were you originally responsible for?" Gu Yucheng asked.
Cang Shuliang's mouth turned bitter, "Collecting history books, writing history books, telling history, and interpreting history."
Gu Yucheng nodded, "The governor will summon you again tonight, please step aside."
Susukino Rang also ordered, "Listen to the director."
Cang Shuliang sighed inwardly and turned to leave.
After Cang Shuliang left, Susukino asked, "Why did you order Cang Shuliang to step down? This man is very intelligent."
Gu Yucheng sighed, "Perhaps it is because the wealthy family is short-sighted and has not seen such a beautiful jade. But such a talent really makes my heart palpitate. I'm afraid that Tan Chulin has already recognized the talent and accepted this person."
Susukino asked in surprise, "The Lord is saying..."
Gu Yucheng nodded, "Tan Chulin's departure was really hasty. Bei Furu didn't give me too many hints. I have to be cautious. - And this guy answered my questions too aggressively..."
Can we not be active? Even after being kicked out by Wang Fuzai, there is nothing we can do if we are not active.
Susukino asked in deep thought, "Should I send Jiang Yongshou to keep an eye on Cang Shuliang?"
Gu Yucheng nodded in agreement, "Yes. - Call this person again tonight. If you don't see him panicking, I'm afraid someone is really hiding behind him. If he looks uneasy, just stay. After all, he has a great talent."
…
At night, Cang Shuliang followed Jiang Yongshou, trembling every step he took.
Cang Shuliang had long been aware of Jiang Yongshou's surveillance. He felt uneasy and restless since he returned to the house. He didn't even see Wang Fuzai who came to see him. He was afraid that Jiang Yongshou would burst into the house and chop him down.
Now listening to the clang sound of the sword on Jiang Yongshou's waist hitting the soft armor, Cang Shuliang's teeth chattered.
Cang Shu thought wildly in his conscience, "Then, Chief Gu wants to kill people and silence them, right? ... Probably not, probably not."
The door opened with a creak. Cang Shuliang couldn't hold himself any longer and jumped up as if he had been stepped on.
Seeing Cang Shuliang's panic, Gu Yucheng and Susukye Rang lowered their guard for the most part.
Cang Shuliang cautiously walked up to the two of them, "Sir, what do you two want to hear..."
Gu Yucheng smiled and said, "During the day, you said that the tax issue on Jujang Road was not only due to Jujang Dao, but also Tan Chulin's acquiescence. - I would like to ask, what is the factor of Jujang Dao?"
Cang Shuliang was stunned.
Didn’t you agree to tell history? how……
After a while, Cang Shuliang hesitated and said, "There is Tonglu Mountain in Tonglu County, and there is a temple on Tonglu Mountain..."
Gu Yucheng was also stunned.
Is there an old monk in the temple?
"There is a Tonglu Hall in the temple, and there are bandits in the hall. A big group." Fortunately, Cang Shuliang's last words were not about an old monk in the temple.
"Actually, Tonglu Mountain is just one of the strongholds of this group of monks. The influence of these monks is spread across Tonglu and Jinji." Cang Shuliang frowned slightly.
"Tonglutang and the Sha family have a very good relationship. Because they don't want to pay taxes. - Chief Tan is powerless about this."
Cang Shuliang's explanation was quickly understood by Gu Yucheng.
Is co-author Tan Chulin being ignored?
This kind of thing is not unusual. The emperor can be ignored, let alone a governor?
How could he dare to disobey the county magistrate if he was just an empty governor?
Not normal, so abnormal.
"Tan family, no reaction?" Susukino asked.
Don’t the Tan family still have Tan Shide and Tan Shixin?
Cang Shuliang smiled bitterly, "Cang Shu is very talented, and I really can't understand..."
Gu Yucheng smiled and said, "It is precisely because the official system in the cultivation world is very different from that in the mortal world. After we take office in Jujang Dao, we don't have to do anything immediately. We have a lot of time to understand Jujang Dao... You said it very well. .——Let me tell you about history in the future.”
Cang Shuliang was stunned, and suddenly he was recognized!
Cang Shuliang was overjoyed: Just tell history, it is better than being missed by Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng calmly ordered, "Just step back first."
Cang Shuliang quickly left happily.
Susukino asked, "Cang Shuliang said he couldn't understand Tan Chulin..."
Gu Yucheng smiled and shook his head, "If there is still someone behind Cang Shuliang, it can only be Tan Chulin. Instead of rejecting Cang Shuliang, it is better to keep him by your side."
"What's more, judging from Cang Shuliang's words, Tan Chulin is indeed not a simple person. We can only get to know him slowly..."
Susukino let Ruo realize something and looked dazed.
