Tan Jianyu took out a book from his arms, flipped through it and said, "Fuyun Building must also charge money. Let me look at the account book, here! Fuyun Building has to pay one hundred and twenty taels of silver every month!"
Huang Shuncai once again widened his eyes in surprise and said, "My dear, Mr. Liu of yours is really crazy! I don't believe he can collect this money!"
Tan Jianyu said: "I think Mr. Liu will definitely have a way, but I don't know yet. But I just need to follow the arrangement."
Huang Shuncai said: "Yes, we just need to be obedient!"
Tan Jianyu took back the book and said, "By the way, when we are required to preach, we must have local guards or guards as witnesses, so we have to trouble my uncle to go to the streets with me."
Huang Shuncai said: "It's easy, let's go, we haven't patrolled the streets together for a long time, let's go and have fun together!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, but Tan Jianyu grabbed his sleeve and said, "Uncle, remember, we are just preaching this time, not collecting money, so don't cause any trouble! Don't even think about it. Eat and drink for free!"
When Huang Shuncai heard this, he patted his forehead and said, "I remembered it! You really forgot it if you didn't tell me! Come on, at worst, I'll just spend my money to treat you to dinner this time!"
Then, following their past habit of patrolling the streets, they first came to the busiest street in their jurisdiction. Not only are there many restaurants on this street, but there are also a lot of hawkers.
The two walked to the street, and Huang Shuncai said: "Whatever you want to preach, I will accompany you."
Tan Jianyu said: "Uncle, that's what you think of me."
After saying that, he took Huang Shuncai and walked towards several vendors on the street. As he approached, he called five or six vendors to gather around. Although these vendors came over as instructed, they looked dejected when they looked at them! Only one of them had the courage to say: "Huangtou, it's not the time to collect money yet. What do you want us brothers to do?"
Huang Shuncai stared and said loudly: "Of course I have something to do with you! My brother is now a military policeman. If I have something to tell you, you all should listen honestly!"
Everyone looked at Tan Jianyu and found that this person was also an old acquaintance, but he had a red armband on his arm, so they felt more relaxed.
At this time, Tan Jianyu put on his usual stern expression, holding his hand on the handle of the knife and said: "I have something to inform you. Starting from this month, you only need to submit one copy of your monthly routine. Other yamen will not Come to collect the money again, you just need to give the money to me. Huang Xiaoqi can testify to this!"
The vendors looked incredulous when they heard this. They looked at each other several times before someone said, "How much does it cost to pay for this portion? Are all the previous portions of money combined?"
Tan Jianyu still said coldly: "Each of you can pay up to six taels of silver per month, no more!"
Several people felt incredible when they heard this! Six pieces of silver, this is simply something that has never happened before since the beginning of the world! In the past, various parties came to collect money, and when they were added up, I was afraid that I would almost have two taels of silver! Now we only charge six cents of silver, it’s like the sun is rising from the west!
So everyone was silent for a long time when they heard the news. No one believed it. After a while, someone hesitated and said: "Huangtouer, your nephew may have made a mistake, right?"
Huang Shuncai was so proud when he saw the incredible looks on their faces! He said loudly: "Of course what my nephew said is accurate. It is all things that Shangguan has explained. How could he be wrong?"
When several people saw Huang Shuncai testifying, they felt that this matter could not be false, and they suddenly burst into cheers! Then they pulled Tan Jianyu around and asked what was going on?
Tan Jianyu raised his hand and slapped their hands back, and then said loudly: "Why are you so anxious! If you grab my official uniform again, I will beat you to death!"
After everyone was slapped and threatened by Tan Jianyu, they felt that things were finally a lot more normal. This is what Jin Yiwei should look like! However, after they took back their hands, they still refused to step back and surrounded Tan Jianyu asking questions.
Tan Jianyu signaled them to be quiet and said: "There will be rules for collecting money from now on. You can only leave it to me and not to anyone else! If anyone comes to collect money, tell me directly! See the red cloth on my arm No, from now on I will be a military policeman, specializing in collecting money!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this and continued to ask about collecting money. Tan Jianyu continued: "There will be rules for collecting money from now on. People like you who just push a wheelbarrow and set up a stall will have a minimum of eighty coppers a month and a maximum of three cents." There won’t be any more silver! Other different shops have also set rules. For example, the biggest Fuyun Building on our street is sixty taels of silver per month! To put it bluntly, if the business is big, pay more. Pay less if you are young!”
While praising Shangguan's wisdom, these small traders repeatedly asked about the information about collecting money. They dispersed only after receiving repeated confirmations. Moreover, they didn't even care about their own business. Instead, they took the initiative to explain this matter to the vendors on the street.
Huang Shuncai looked at their backs and said disdainfully: "Did you see that? These guys immediately spread the word. They want to establish this matter. They are really a bunch of ignorant people!"
Tan Jianyu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. As for ordinary people, what else can we expect from them?"
While the two people were talking, the vendors on the street were alerted and surrounded the two of them, asking for the truth of the matter! If someone is in a hurry, he will pull the two people away, as if he is afraid that they will run away. He is no longer as submissive as before!
Huang Shuncai and Huang Shuncai were pulled so hard by them that they could no longer stand. They could only grab the sheathed sword and smash it wildly to drive these people away. But the person who was beaten didn't feel any pain. He would take two steps back at most and still pounce on the two of them!
This is not because these small businessmen and hawkers are desperate for money, because most of the money they earn every month has been taken away, and the remaining money is only enough to survive! If this new rule of collecting money is really established, life at home will be much easier, and they can't help but feel less anxious!
After waiting for a long time, after repeatedly confirming the collection of money with Tan Jianyu, these small vendors all bowed to the two of them happily. Tan Jianyu straightened his messy robes and said, "I've made it clear to you all what needs to be said, and I've said it several times, so you should understand it! Now I have to go to other businesses to inform them, please disperse!" "
Upon hearing this, the vendors all respectfully moved out of the way, allowing the two men to walk out of the crowd in a swaggering manner. Especially Huang Shuncai, he feels that he has never been so majestic in his life! But when he followed Tan Jianyu to the first shop on the street, his chest collapsed!
