Chapter 518: A Day of Social Animals (Two-in-One) [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]


    Qi Shan did not hide the fact that he wrote a letter to his friend. Gu Chi and others knew what was going on after thinking about it for a moment, especially Jiang Sheng and Xun Zhen. The two of them were so calm that they pretended that they didn''t know about this, and Chu Yao and Kang Shi just raised their eyebrows.


    Only Gu Chi knew something about the inside story, so he took the initiative to mention the matter one day and asked Chen Tang if he knew it.


    Chen Tang said, "I know."


    Gu Chi''s expression was a bit hard to describe.


    Chen Tang is burying his head to dry the rice.


    The mouth of the pottery bowl was two circles larger than her face - this was what she specifically asked, otherwise she would use a small bowl to eat, and serve the rice for thirty or forty times in one meal. Those who don’t know would think that she was reincarnated by the rice bucket. A big bowl was much more worry-free, so she could just serve it a few times.


    She swallowed the wheat rice in her mouth and then continued: "Ah, am I worried that Yuanliang will suffer a loss? Although Xiandeng and Hanzhang are both reasonable people and will not bring personal grudges into business, they are incompatible with Yuanliang. Yesterday, his Su Shang beat Wuhui''s dog again, and Wuhui''s face is quite dark today... Alas, I''m afraid that Yuanliang will get into trouble if he goes on for a long time."


    Count by fingers.


    Please be very popular with good fortune.


    The team has a good relationship with him, only his unjust cousin Kang Shi and his bad friend Gu Chi. Chen Tang is worried that the other party will feel depressed in the workplace.


    There are two like-minded friends who can go out shopping and relax during holidays, and they also have a destination for visiting each other.


    Thinking of this, I feel more and more that I am a good boss.


    Gu Chi ignored Chen Tang''s demonic voice.


    Asked her: "Are you not worried about causing conflicts?"


    Chen Tang was fearless: "Yuanliang is my second life. How many lords cannot ask for it? Do you guess they will be afraid of it? Everyone is smart and will always understand the bottom line. With Yuanliang''s eyes, if you can become his enemy or friend, you will not be a mediocre person who is ignorant of the current affairs. He is connected with my life, and you will not find such a person to make things difficult for you."


    Gu Chi: “…”


    It is really necessary to let those who praise the Lord’s glory and open-minded gentleman come and see and listen. They are very thoughtful. Just that''s it, but Gu Chi is not here to make a report today, but to share gossip.


    After sucking the last bite of rice soup, Chen Tang wiped his mouth.


    “What news?”


    "Qi Yuanliang''s enemies and friends are inseparable."


    Chen Tang almost thought he had heard it wrong.


    "What?"


    "Birds of a feather flock together."


    He can only say that.


    Chen Tang: “…”


    Gu Chi smiled and said, "But I think the lord is so powerful that he should be able to control it with ease, right?"


    Chen Tang: “…”


    I had a nightmare that night.


    Qi Shan smiled so hard that he looked silly, and he pulled up the strategists who were covered with the abandoned lord DEBUFF to let her look at him. Chen Tang saw that he was weak and helpless, and after he woke up, he made pancakes left and right until dawn.


    Fortunately, Qishan didn’t know.


    If you know, you must be harsh.


    It is one thing for him to send a letter, but feedback is another. Many literary scholars are proud and have their own pursuits, but very few are unsuccessful for various reasons. There are always a few people who have been in the window period for a long time due to various reasons. Most of them are famous, and some people come to the door to invite them to come out with gold, silver, treasures and power.


    After all, no matter how powerful a literary scholar is, he still needs to make a living or support his family. It is impossible for him to squat in place and wait for the person who is most suitable for his appetite. His letter is likely to sink to the sea, and it is good luck to have any reply.


    Even if you reply, check Chen Tang’s meager family background, you may be scared away, just as she said before - you can’t afford to accept it. Qi Shan wrote a letter in the past just to try his luck.


    It would be great if a blind cat could meet a dead mouse.


    If not, there will be no loss.


    Improper or Gu Chi is the most unethical and deliberately scary.


    Chen Tang only took one afternoon to escape from the afterglow of the nightmare.


    It’s not that she is so stubborn, but that the social animal faces heavy work and has no right to hurt the spring and fall. Without the hidden dangers on the border for the time being, Chen Tang can devote himself to the construction of Longwu County.


    In the few days when she first came to Longwu County, she was busy settling down the victims and building a temporary charity hall. After that, she went to Shiwu without stopping and had no time to calm down and understand the situation in Longwu County. I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.


    All the bad debts!


    This is still part of the processing by Qi Shan and others.


    She didn''t dare to think about how bad it was before.


    The most serious part is not a pile of unjust, false and wrong cases, but a registered population and tax revenue. Wars in Longwu County have occurred frequently. In recent years, due to the weakening of national border barriers, the frequency of entry and robbery in horse bandits has increased sharply, and the population has been reduced normally.


    But the horse bandits fought small-scale team battles and did not dare to make big noises. Chu Jie was also guarding Yonggu Pass and guarding the dead to the greatest extent. Longwu County had a former county magistrate, and the speed of sending troops to support was also fast. But the number of deaths reported is extremely high each time.


    Longwu County does not cover a large area.


    But there are less than a thousand households left in a county''s household registration—


    Chen Tang pointed to the table and sneered, and asked the veteran officials of Longwu County, "Don''t you think it''s outrageous?"


    The few people below looked at each other.


    No one dared to say a word first.


    Chen Tang''s reputation accumulated in the Battle of Shiwu has no deterrence or value in other places, but it is enough in Longwu County. Chen Tang took a deep breath and said, "There are more than 3,000 refugees accepted in the city alone, and there are still those who have joined you one after another. I''ll ask you why there are only 960 registered household registrations in the county government, and there are still 0 or 100 households to report?"


    Good guy, are more than two thousand households all ghosts?


    Several people still didn''t say anything and were unwilling to be the first bird.


    Once you become this outstanding person, Chen Tang may be satisfied, but the offended person will definitely be very dissatisfied!


    Chen Tang looked at the people with a tense face and coldly.


    After such a stalemate for a while, Chen Tang waved his hand to let them all go. These are old-fashioned people who are afraid of things. They can use them when there is no big deal. Once it is a critical moment, they will never let them get involved, and it will only delay the problem.


    They didn''t say it, Chen Tang knew it too.


    Of course, someone took advantage of the opportunity of horse bandits to report living people as "dead people" - how do "dead people" pay taxes on the head? Although there are not many taxes on paying less than one person’s head, if there are too many such “dead people”, will it be more time to accumulate? These "dead people" can still work in the fields, and the tenants can pay as much rent as they ask them to pay because they have lost their household registration!


    Who is the most beneficial to this matter?


    Hehe, of course, it’s who did it.


    So who did it?


    Of course, he is the owner of countless land in his home.


    They are the owners of the land, but they cannot go to the field to work in person, so they need the person who eats the least food and does the most work. If people don’t eat, they will die. It is best for people who don’t eat or drink, or sleeplessly, to work for them to cultivate the land.


    Chen Tang rubbed his eyebrows and called Qi Shan.


    He asked softly: "How to collect evidence?"


    The county magistrate Chen Tang has no name but no reality to solve the problem of land household registration. Not to mention raising the army, she couldn''t even pay the salary of her own strait team! The Treasury of Shiwu cannot let her shop and purchase goods every year, and she can only sit and eat the whole country.


    Qi Shan understood what Chen Tang asked.


    "Three families took this opportunity to clean up, and their hands and feet were clean. They could not suspect that they were on our heads, and the evidence was also searched and stored properly. But the other gentry in Longwu County seemed to be alert, and we cannot deliberately lead the horse bandits into the country at this time..."


    You cannot do this kind of risk-taking things randomly.


    Once exposed, Chen Tang''s reputation was destroyed instantly. After all, the "collusion" between the head of a county and the horse bandits is explosive negative news. Zheng Qiao is still the king of the country. If someone reports this matter, Chen Tang is exiled or transferred again, then it will be over. Qi Shan is now a jealous weapon.


    According to his original plan, he could use the hands of the bandits to clean these tumors at once. But I couldn''t stand my colleagues being too powerful, and Xun Zhen and Yan Xingning turned into vague divine assists, so the losses of Yonggu Pass were minimized.


    The number of horse bandits attacking Longwu County was scarce.


    Alas, you can''t do big things.


    Chen Tang made up his mind: "Then let''s take advantage of the issue."


    These gentry and local snakes have done too many bad things and have long lost their awe. Some of them are still thinking about welcomeing the Ten Wu Kings Division to reach the sky in one step. He died miserably by bullying his ex-county magistrate, and bullying Chen Tang when he was young...


    Doing things may not necessarily make you clear your tail.


    They are now bald people with lice heads.


    You can take advantage of the problem by grabbing a handle.


    Qi Shan and Chen Tang''s idea coincided with each other: "What is the lord''s intention - is it to take advantage of this thorough household registration investigation?"


    Chen Tang nodded coldly: "Yes, look for an opportunity to conduct a surprise inspection! Sift every piece of land in Longwu County! Can so many living people hide in the sky or underground? If one doesn''t match, I will kill them!"


    Population is related to taxes.


    Hiding a population is tax evasion.


    You can''t take off any skin wherever you put it!


    With this reason and the evidence plundered by Qi Shan, Chen Tang did not intend to show mercy this time and did the work. Although too much action will cause damage to the muscles and bones, it is better than letting the carrot erode the bone marrow and ending up being terminally ill?


    Chen Tang did not forget to remind him: "Leave this matter to our own people. I was worried about the officials of Longwu County and sent someone to keep an eye on it. If they had any actions to inform them, then lock them up and settle the accounts together."


    Qi Shan nodded: "This is natural."


    Chen Tang licked his dry lips.


    The strong smell of blood can be vaguely smelled at the tip of the nose.


    She didn''t want to raise the butcher knife, but she couldn''t resist someone''s force to hit her knife. Since that''s the case, why not accept it with a smile? In addition to the household registration tax, there is another top priority in front of her. As spring begins, the reality is - people who have no grain planting, no plowing oxen, no farm tools, no fields, and even no plowing land... How can they survive this year?


    Shiwu’s vault is very rich, but at this critical moment, everyone is tightening their belts to live. Who has the surplus food for every household except the landlord? Gold, silver and jewelry can be exchanged for food, but the price is definitely high, and it is obviously not worth the loss.


    Chen Tang also waved left and right for this.


    You can’t expect Lin Feng to support the entire county population alone, right? Even if you sell the little girl with a pound, you can''t stand it for a day.


    Chen Tang''s spring plowing words work again. Without arable land and cropping, it is impossible for the fields to grow grain out of thin air...


    Thinking about it, if it doesn''t work—


    She could only find another way.


    For example, crying to the old neighbors in the past.


    I think Wu Xian and the others are used to this.


    Chen Tang held his chin and thought casually about how to start a credit. He had not come up with a clue yet, and another blow followed one after another. Zhao Feng, who had completed the handover, wanted to hand over his resignation.


    He worked for Chen Tang for two years in order to repay his kindness.


    Still working for two years.


    If you drag on it, you won’t know who the boss is.


    Wu Xian also gradually complained. Zhao Feng thought that he had just returned his kindness and that Shen Jun had no external hidden dangers in Longwu County. He should be able to settle down in the past two years. So he was about to speak and take people back.


    Chen Tang said "ah".


    Subconsciously I wanted to ask where Zhao Feng was going.


    After thinking about it, I remembered that Zhao Dayi’s boss was not herself. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. She has been using people so easily in the past two years and forgot how to use the word “see outside”. Although I feel regretful, I also know that I have no reason to force me to stay.


    It is rare in the world to repay kindness to Zhao Dayi. If you don’t let others go, how can you stand firm?


    Wensheng said with concern: "When will Dayi start?"


    Zhao Feng was embarrassed: "Ten days later."


    Although he had been working for two years, Chen Tang did not treat himself badly in the past two years. He always followed his own troops first, and he was generous in his actions. At first, Zhao Feng was worried that his team would decline after the past two years, but after the battle of Yonggu Pass, he found that it was not the case. Not only did they not regress, but they made a lot of progress, and the martial arts energy of the people was condensed several times.


    After thinking about it, it should be related to the unlimited supply of alcohol in the past two years, and the prices of these alcohols are not low.


    Zhao Feng communicated with his family and learned from his letters that the wine brewed by Shen Jun was very popular in the sky and sea, and it was a rare jar. If it weren''t for supplying yourself, the flow of these wines into the market would definitely bring more benefits to Chen Tang.


    Therefore, in the heart of Zhao Feng, a simple and honest person, he actually owed Chen Tang a favor, but he really couldn''t delay it anymore.


    He is not alone. Many of the brothers below have families, and they have been separated from their families for a long time, and they miss it very hard.


    "Ten days..." Chen Tang murmured, "It''s okay, I''ll go back and hold a practice banquet for Dayi. It''s too much delay in the past two years."


    "No, no, Mr. Shen must not say that."


    These two years have definitely been the most comfortable and fulfilling years he has lived. He even found fun from farming in the fields. If there is no war in the future, farming and living in seclusion is a good place.


    Chen Tang''s promise to let go made him feel relieved.


    I am really afraid that Chen Tang will say something he doesn''t want to.


    It’s not right to stay by yourself, nor is it not right to stay without staying.


    Zhao Feng left, and Chu Yao came again.


    At this time, the sky was dark and the person under him was lighting the lights.


    "Why did Wuhui come at this time?"


    Seeing that he looked serious, he should be doing the most important thing.


    "I suddenly remembered something and told my lord."


    Chu Yao was serious, and Chen Tang also became serious.


    “Let’s say nothing.”


    "This matter is related to Guoxi and General Zhao."


    Chen Tang felt a little in his heart: "Dayi did not know about the matter of the National Seal, and he was not a person who could hide his thoughts..."


    I was afraid that Chu Yao would say what Zhao Feng had lost.


    At this time, Zhao Feng was so angry that anyone would suspect her. It was like stealing the bell from his ears. Wu Xian would not give up.


    But obviously, Chen Tang was thinking too much.


    Chu Yao’s purpose is not this.
