However, Zhang Jia didn't say much. He deliberately persisted for a while, and then with Liu Haojia's "consolation", he reluctantly agreed to this condition!
The conditions were agreed upon, and Liu Shouyou said at this time: "As the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family, but one person is in charge! But you all have errands to attend to, and I'm afraid you don't have time to preside over such a small matter. So I feel that I should preside over this matter. The best candidate is Liu Haojia! After all, he was the one who proposed the matter and planned the strategy, making it easier to do things!"
After Wu Shilang pondered for a moment, he finally remembered the forgotten Magistrate Zhang and said: "Things are complicated, I'm afraid General Li Qi can't handle it all by himself! Let Magistrate Zhang be his deputy!"
Magistrate Zhang almost cried as he sat aside! It has nothing to do with me when we are co-authors and dividing money, but push me out when we are doing things! But he didn't dare to object yet, so he nodded in agreement. And he also knows that there is indeed a risk in doing this, but it is not big, and he can still make money!
Liu Haojia glanced at him and said: "What County Magistrate Zhang has to do is also hard, and he must get an extra salary!"
Magistrate Zhang carefully looked at everyone and saw that no one had any objection. He was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Liu Haojia.
At this time, Sun Shenjiang said impatiently: "Then when will we start collecting money?"
Everyone looked at Liu Haojia, and Liu Haojia said calmly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to do it this month, so let's let the brothers have fun for a month! But starting now, we have to recruit people from all over for training. Come up. Apart from others, you must be obedient! At the same time, I will also write down some requirements for the brothers below. After the adults take them back, they will be widely publicized so that everyone knows how to do it. Otherwise, I will catch you if you make a mistake in the future. Well, the lighter case will be to be fired, and the worst case will be sent directly to the Xishan Mountains to dig coal!"
After hearing this, everyone naturally agreed and expressed that they would send over the most obedient and capable men. Liu Haojia proposed a sum of money to repair the small school field in the west of the city, which will serve as their new headquarters. As for this money, it will be calculated into expenses after the money is collected.
This request was not too much, and everyone readily agreed. Then everyone discussed the details again and dispersed with hope.
After finally waiting until the meeting was over, Zhang Jia couldn't wait to pull Liu Haojia onto the carriage. As soon as he entered the carriage, Zhang Jia asked eagerly: "How could they agree to put this money into the internal treasury? This is not their style at all! Did you agree to any conditions for them?"
Facing Zhang Jia's series of questions, Liu Haojia said with a smile: "I have already guessed that these people would not agree to let this money go into the national treasury! Because to put it bluntly, this money is business tax! If this money goes into the national treasury , they were worried that in the future the emperor would take this opportunity to push commercial taxes across the country, so they would rather put this money into the emperor's inner treasury than allow it to go into the national treasury!"
Zhang Jia suddenly realized when he heard this and said: "These civil servants really take everything to heart! But aren't they worried that the rules on collecting money will be pushed aside in other parties in the future?"
Liu Haojia smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that easy! If it is implemented nationwide, then you and I will really die without a place to die! Didn't you see that Prime Minister Zhang has come up with various ways to increase income? But I don’t touch commercial taxes!”
Zhang Jia said regretfully: "That's such a pity! If according to your calculations, if the whole country collects commercial taxes, I'm afraid it will be a huge amount of money! If all this money is put into the internal treasury, I'm afraid long live I will wake up laughing from my dreams!"
Liu Haojia squinted his eyes, patted his thigh gently and said, "Don't worry, there will be a day!"
The next day Liu Haojia called craftsmen to start repairing the small school ground in the west of the city. In fact, the small school farm is said to be abandoned, but in fact it is just that no one has lived and maintained it for a long time, and there are some problems with the building. After Liu Haojia spent a lot of money, the craftsmen worked with great enthusiasm, and it took only four days to renovate the houses in the small school field.
Liu Haojia also purchased a lot of seats and other items, and after some arrangement, it finally looked like a government office. Then he took all his servants to move in and waited for others to report one after another.
Soon, people drawn from various places arrived at the small training ground on time. Liu Haojia arranged for them to accept them one by one and form a team. There were no disobedient characters in the process. Because these people were repeatedly told by their superiors before they came there, they must be absolutely obedient when they get there and must not offend Liu Haojia, otherwise they will end up digging coal in Xishan Mountain!
When everyone arrived, Liu Haojia counted the roster and found that he had almost 260 people. This number has been calculated repeatedly by Liu Haojia, and it is enough to collect money!
Liu Haojia then subjected them to inhuman torture, both mental and physical torture!
When they get up in the morning, they have to recite the various disciplinary clauses stipulated by Liu Haojia, as well as how to divide the standards and fees of each merchant. In this era, the literacy rate of the people at the bottom is simply too low! Except for some of the guards who could write and do math, the others were simply illiterate!
This lot of stuff that needs to be memorized can give these people a splitting headache! Taking this opportunity, Liu Haojia pushed his servants to the flag positions of each team. After all, these servants under him have been studying literature and martial arts in the past few years. Everyone has good martial arts skills, and can also write and calculate. They have basically reached the standard of modern primary school education, so they are more than enough to serve as various small flags! This allowed him to easily gain complete leadership of the team.
In the afternoon, Liu Haojia will conduct queue training and combat training for them. The purpose of queue training is to make these people look good when they go out and set an example for other soldiers and officers. Training combat is mainly about cooperation between training teams. This is to deal with those who resist collecting money, especially those gang members!
With Liu Haojia going through so much trouble, these people were naturally complaining! However, Liu Haojia arranged the food well and provided them with big fish and meat every day, which made them enjoy the meal! He also promised a high salary and the hope of future promotion, and then barely suppressed all dissatisfaction.
However, this dissatisfaction will remain hidden until the official payment day. If Liu Haojia can't pay his salary, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss! But Liu Haojia didn't care, because within the agreed time, he would definitely be able to collect a large amount of money! Compared to their upcoming income, their salary is truly a drop in the bucket!
