Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 233
Tongyuan, a veritable "stinky" place, has been extremely noisy in recent days.Because on the second day after the tax evasion case of the three of Chai Biao was found out, the Commercial and Taxation Court, Hucao and Zhizhong Yamen jointly dispatched 90 people.

Fifteen Zhizhong government officials guard the front and rear entrances to prevent anyone from escaping.The people from the Commercial and Taxation Court and Hucao made a group of 15 people, a total of four groups, and checked them one by one from the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and from the inside to the outside.

However, anyone who is found to have signed a white deed will first be ordered to pay back the deed tax of previous years, and then be fined 50 taels to [-] taels of silver depending on the number of years of tax evasion, and finally ordered to find a house in Tongyuan to re-sign. deed.

As for the house seller, they will be fined ten taels of silver uniformly, and the house contract will be re-signed.

And this busy work is seven or eight days.

Of course, it's not just the government servants who are busy with the investigation, but also the officials of Heart and Lianfang and the house deed review.

On the two criss-crossing main streets of Tongyuan, Hearts and Lian Fang sit at the midpoint of the intersection of the streets.

And beside the two of them, there were six yamen servants. There was a row of red mud and seals beside the six of them, and a thick pile of signed and pending and blank fixed posts, Zhengde, booklet.

Some were in charge of approving posts, some were in charge of reviewing contracts, and some were in charge of registering. In short, with hearts and Lian Fang, the eight of them almost all started quickly.

On this day, the eighth day of the investigation, the number of people queuing up to sign the deed has decreased a lot, and after the tension of the previous few days, everyone has relaxed now. After all, it is only a fine of some money, and people will not go to jail. It is already a great blessing , So some people chatted with others at leisure.

"Unexpectedly, this little girl is quite agile in handling things. Look at the speed, it is faster than Lian Fang."

"No, this little girl is really not simple. No wonder she became Fang Ya at such a young age. Look at the writing, tsk tsk. She must have read the book."

"I didn't know that such a small Fang Ya came from Tongyuan before. When did he come?"

"It's been a month. You stay in the house all day and night. How can you know?"

"Hey, how much money have you fined?"

"I bought the house for five years, and I was fined 25 taels. This time I really went the wrong way. The house was 30 taels. At the beginning, I took 25 taels with Chai Biao. Today, I was fined [-] taels. There are still five years' house tax and The commission for signing the contract right now is such a toss, and the family is gone. If I knew this, I might as well pay the taxes honestly."

His words caused many people around to sigh.

While listening, Heart counted the property taxes, fines and commissions in front of her, then threw the commissions into the bamboo basket under her feet, and handed over the property taxes and fines to the yamen servant next to her.

"This should be the last batch." Hongtao stood up and looked back. Her eyesight was already extraordinary, and she could clearly see the last row. She roughly estimated in her heart that there were more than 70 households left.

Even letting go of the speed did not slow down, followed by saying: "Well, the official sent for the investigation has left Tongyuan at noon."

The next person came to Heart, and handed Heart a red slip issued by the yamen servant during the investigation.This red slip means re-signing the contract. All holders of the red slip must hand over the red slip to Fang Ya within two days, and the fine will be doubled if it is overdue.

Heart sat down again, checked the house information with the buyer and seller in front of him, and then signed the deed, stamped the seal, and gave the money, all in one go without any pause.Then the next person followed.

In the evening, the sky was already gray and dark, but there were still more than 30 households in line. Heart thought about it and discussed it with several other yamen servants.

"Why don't you sign all these at once tonight, so that you don't have to come and bask in the scorching sun tomorrow. As for the rest, they are all scattered. When the time comes, Lian Fangya and I will send the deeds directly to the yamen to find you Seal and sign, okay?"

When several yamen servants thought about it, they all felt good.Although this girl is small, she is very considerate.

So the eight of them continued to work against the darkness, and it was not until night to Xu that all the contracts were finally signed.

Lian Fang lived in Tongyuan, so it was convenient to go back. As for Hongtao, luckily the yamen servant had two carriages, so he took her back to Taoyaju by the way.

It was nearly midnight when Hongtao returned to Taoyaju, but Qingyu and Xu Lan were still awake.

Xu Lan hurriedly went to warm up the meal with Hongtao, and Hongtao took the opportunity to hand over a bamboo basket of silver to Qingyu.

"There are 540 households in total, and I have insured 290 households, with a commission of 15 taels. Junior sister, do you want me to buy another [-] houses?" Hongtao happily asked Qingyu.

Qingyu smiled slightly, "Fifty is enough, don't be greedy for anything. Besides, the money has to be used to repair the house. The wages over there are nearly 400 taels a month."

"400 taels?" Heart was taken aback, a little worried, "Then do we have enough money?"

"Right now there are 260 taels in the Xuannv Hall, plus you, there are 270 taels, which is enough for three months. In addition, the second senior brother can get 74 taels a month, and our pawn house is [-] taels a month. Two rents are enough."

Hongtao let out an ouch and sighed, "It will be enough."

"The meal is here." Xu Lan entered the room with the meal.

Hongtao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and persuaded: "I'll clean it up by myself after eating, I won't go out tomorrow, but Sister Lan, you have to get up early to go to the mountain pavilion, go to rest quickly."

Xu Lan was really sleepy, so she said goodbye with a smile and went back to her room to rest.

Hongtao sits in Qingyu's room and eats, while Qingyu sits on the bed and meditates.

Two days later, all the tax evaders in Tongyuan re-signed the house deeds and paid fines and back taxes.Yan He and Su Zhen felt that it was almost the same, so they came to the State Shepherd's Mansion to plead guilty and report to Cao Shen.

When the two arrived, Cao Shen was discussing matters with others, and the two had to sit in the side hall to wait. While waiting, they heard voices from the next door.

". After a rough calculation by the lower officials, I am afraid that at least 5 taels of silver will be needed. As for the time spent, it has not been dredged for more than ten years, and many houses have already occupied the sewage ditch in front of the door. To dredge it, the house must be demolished. It will take more than half a year to fully unblock it.”

Cao Shen's displeased voice came again, "No, half a year is too long, four months, all sewage ditches must be completely dredged."

The person who spoke did not dare to refuse, and could only answer "yes" anxiously.

"For the 5 taels of silver, 3 taels will be allocated from the official bank, and the remaining [-] taels will be donated by households and businessmen in Tongyuan. You must do this matter quickly, and work must start this month."

"Yes. The next official will do it immediately." Then there was the sound of footsteps retreating.

Yan He and Su Zhen in the side room looked at each other.Su Zhen whispered to Yan He: "Where is this going to be dredged? 5 taels of silver, a big project."

After Yan He was stunned, he looked terrified, "Where else can it be, now in the whole Yinzhou, the sewage ditch has not been dredged for ten years, and the only one is Tongyuan.

Old Su, we were really lucky this time, look, if it's one day later, you and I might be finished.The above is about to start rectifying Tongyuan. "

Su Zhen was also surprised belatedly, and then had a puzzled look on his face, "Why do you want to clean up Tongyuan all of a sudden? It's been like that for more than ten years. Why did the boss come on a whim?"

At this time, Yan He thought of one thing, that little Fang Ya named Hongtao bought fifty houses in Tongyuan half a month ago.

He was surprised at the time, but now that he thought about it, maybe the little girl already knew something.

"Tongyuan, I'm afraid something will change." Yan He whispered to Su Zhen.
