capital girl

Chapter 174

Wang Dabiao and his people quickly evacuated Gao's house.

And they passed through the county town street of Linshui County majestically.

The people in the front have arrived at the county government office, while the people behind have just come out of Gao's house.

No one in Linshui County, even in their 90s and [-]s, has seen this kind of momentum, this face, and this approach.

"Is this new pusher really so powerful, just challenge the Gao family..."

"This time it's true. Gao Yu, the eldest son of the Gao family, was tied up and sent to the prison of the county government."

"This pusher is really a parent officer."

"That's right, the first thing he did when he came here was to try the files that hadn't been tried for five years, and to pay out all the salaries owed by the county government. Our Linshui County has finally ushered in a good official. I hope he can do more. Wait a while."

The common people all came out of their homes to watch this unprecedented event in a hundred years.

The people are discussing this matter enthusiastically. Some people are optimistic about Meng Shiyu, and of course some people are also worried about him. Some people think it is of no use. Big revenge.

The common people's discussions about Meng Shi can be imagined, and of course he doesn't care, he only does what he thinks is right.

If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?If he can't even manage a small county well and wants to be the first assistant in the world, what virtue and ability will he have.

Meng Shiyu's actions not only shocked the common people, but also shocked Zhang, Liu, Zhao, Wang and other wealthy businessmen, and also shocked the officials outside the city.

They asked someone to find out who Meng Shiyu was and how he could make such a drastic move.

Of course, the news of the investigation did not reach their ears so quickly, but with the lessons learned from the Gao family, they will inevitably restrain their behavior and deal with this new pusher carefully.

Li Yulou watched the things moved into the Huya compound one by one and began to tidy up in a hurry.

These things must be registered, valued, and then taxed to the Gao family.

Gao Yu never dreamed that the eldest son of the Gao family would be imprisoned in the county government prison in Linshui County one day.

He slapped on the door of the cell and screamed heart-piercingly, but no one paid any attention.

Until he was exhausted and fell on the wooden bed covered with only straw in the cell.

Gao Quande, the Patriarch of the Gao Family, rushed back to Linshui County from outside on the third day. He first inquired about the situation, and then came to Jianmeng Shiyu, the county government office.

"Master Meng, I'm Gao Quande." Gao Quande saluted when he saw Meng Shiyu's upright behavior.

"Master Gao is polite." Meng Shiyu nodded slightly and said.

"I'm doing business outside, I didn't expect the dog to do such a thing, it's my fault..." Gao Quande's face was calm, with a bit of coldness, and he naturally didn't put Meng Shiyu in any important position in his heart, but It's just a grievance for the time being.

"Yes. Your son is really rude.

I just sent the yamen servant to inform me of some things, and he beat my people into that ghostly appearance.That's not a slap, but a slap in the face, and I represent the court, and hitting me in the face is a slap in the face of the court. Whose court is that?The court belongs to His Majesty.

To slap the court in the face is to slap His Majesty in the face, it is really inappropriate. "Meng Shiyu said lightly.

The corners of Gao Quande's mouth twitched, the level of clinging was really acceptable.It's just that he got involved with His Majesty after beating a few lowly yamen servants.

"It's Gouzi who acted recklessly. My Gao family will pay for all the injuries suffered by those yamen servants." Gao Quande acted like I was very understanding.

Meng Shiyu nodded slightly, "Master Gao is really reasonable..."

"It is natural that you should pay the fee. In addition, there will be an additional fine of 1000 taels." Meng Shiyu said.

Gao Quande looked at Meng Shiyu gravely.

"If Mr. Gao doesn't speak, it's tacit consent, after all, he hit someone.

Or let's do business and let your son stay in the cell.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the yamen servants who beat the court should be punished with a hundred sticks, and then exiled to the north to do hard labor, and their wives and children will be reduced to low slaves..."

"Master Meng, why waste the manpower of the yamen, we accept this punishment." Gao Quande gritted his teeth and swallowed.

"Well, the medical expenses, nursing expenses, lost work expenses, plus the punishment from the government will total 2000 taels..." Meng Shiyu said.

Gao Quande was so angry that he was about to explode. Things that can be solved with 20 taels now cost 2000 taels.

"After handing in the 2000 taels, your noble son, Mr. Gao, can take it back." Meng Shiyu also showed an expression that I have forgiven you lightly.

"Then those things in my house?" Gao Quande blurted out and asked.

"That's another matter. After these two days of calculations, Mr. Gao's family is extremely rich.

Those porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings add up to at least 50 taels of silver. "Meng Shiyu said.

"Master Meng wouldn't want to take it for himself, would that be too greedy." Gao Quande couldn't bear it any longer, and spoke out what was in his heart.

At the beginning, he wanted to maintain a superficial harmony, but now he is tearing his face and tearing his face, he is just a ninth-rank official.

If you are really capable, how can you be sent to such a place to be a pusher.

"What did Master Gao say? If outsiders heard your words, they would think you were trying to bribe me. You want to get back my future." Meng Shiyu said solemnly.

Gao Quande stared at Meng Shiyu in confusion and anger. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Meng Shiyu's gourd.

"It's not easy... as long as Mr. Gao pays the taxes he owes." Meng Shiyu said.

"How much does Master Meng want?" A sneer twitched at the corner of Gao Quande's mouth, and in the end he still asked for money in the name of the government.

"According to the law of the big week, [-]% of the income has to be turned over to profits and taxes.

I'm not the kind of person who fishes in a marsh.

I don’t count the value of Mr. Gao’s land and house, but the jade ornaments alone are worth 50 taels.

The two achievements are 10 taels, and in addition to the 13% late payment fee for not actively paying taxes for five years, the total is [-] taels. "Meng Shiyu said while thinking carefully while calculating.

"How much?" Gao Quande stood up, condescendingly, staring angrily at Meng Shiyu who was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

"13 taels... This is the account book. Master Gao is in business, so you can understand this account book at a glance." Meng Shiyu put the account book that Li Yulou had worked so hard to sort out in front of Gao Quande.

Gao Quande didn't have the mood to look at any account books at this time, and tore the account books to pieces in a few clicks.

"Master Meng, you are too dark. You are not as dark as you when you are black and black. You have 13 taels all at once..."

"Master Gao, don't be so excited, this is acting in accordance with the laws of our Great Zhou."

Gao Quande clenched his fists tightly and glared, "I want to go to the government office to sue you, I want to see the magistrate, I don't believe that no one cares about you, you are too greedy."

"Yes." Meng Shiyu smiled lightly.

Gao Quande paid so much tribute to the magistrate every year, he didn't believe that the magistrate couldn't suppress a ninth-rank official, so he threw up his sleeves and left.

Meng Shiyu looked at Gao Quande who left angrily and smiled coldly.

"Xiao Wu..." Meng Shiyu yelled towards the door.

Xiao Wu walked in quickly, "Master..."

"Take all the porcelain in the mansion's yard and bring it on board, and immediately transport it to Hangzhou Mansion to sell it at a good price. The speed must be fast, and we are anxiously waiting for the money to be used here." Meng Shiyu ordered.

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

"Zhang Dazhu..." Meng Shiyu yelled again.

"My lord, you call me." Zhang Dazhu ran in quickly.

"How is Mr. Gao doing in prison?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"How to eat? Shout out when you have strength." Zhang Dazhu replied.

"Then beat him up. Beat him up every day, don't kill him, don't beat him up. Beat him up when you are in a good mood, and beat him up when you are in a bad mood. Just be careful .” Meng Shiyu said.

Zhang Dazhu nodded, turned around and left the lobby, thinking in his heart, Mr. Meng is really cruel, fortunately he didn't offend him deeply at that time.

There was nothing wrong with the yamen, so Meng Shiyu left the yamen and returned to his residence.

There were quite a few people in the residence, but Meng Shiyu didn't know these people, they looked like servants of someone's family.

Meng Shiyu pushed these people away and entered the yard.

"Shiyu, you're back." Li Yulou saw Meng Shiyu happily walking to his side.

"Who are these people?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"I don't know. It is said that the Zhang family and the Li family came to deliver food to us. Look at the fresh vegetables, beef, mutton, and all kinds of fruits, which are better than what we eat in the capital..." Li Yulou pointed out Looking at the things on the table, he smiled and said to Meng Shiyu.

"Yes, these things are good, put them away, you are welcome.

These people react really quickly, and finally they are a little bit long-eyed.The days to come will not be so poor. Meng Shiyu looked at the meat, vegetables and fruits on the table, nodded in satisfaction, and then entered the room with his arms around Li Yulou's waist.

"Aren't you going to see Mr. Gao?" Li Yulou asked Meng Shiyu to pour a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Master Gao left in anger and wanted to sue me at the magistrate, so I let him go.

I have asked Xiao Wu to ship his porcelain, calligraphy and paintings to Hangzhou for a good price.The county government is rich. "Meng Shiyu said with a smile.

"He didn't even care about his own son. I asked Zhang Dazhu and the others to beat him every day. Just don't beat him to death."

Li Yulou didn't even know what to say, it was really cruel.

"What if Sun Zhifu intervenes in this matter?" Li Yulou asked.

After all, the official rank crushes people to death.

"I'm just looking forward to his participation. If he doesn't participate, I will be disappointed." Meng Shiyu kissed Li Yulou's lips, "What do you want for lunch, I'm hungry."

"With the mutton, Xiaoqi suggested that he wanted to shabu-shabu. I also think it is good to eat shabu-shabu, and there are so many fresh vegetables." Li Yulou knew, "What do you think of shabu-shabu?"

"Xiao Qi is getting more and more good at eating." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou smiled, "The relationship between him and Chuntao is getting better and better, but this little girl like Chuntao just doesn't understand."

"Master, we have meat to eat every day, as well as fresh fruits." Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou came to their small courtyard, and Xiao Qi was cutting mutton, excitedly said to Meng Shiyu.

"Knife skills should be better, your wife doesn't like too thick meat." Meng Shiyu gave Xiao Qi a look and told him.

"Don't worry, young master, it's not like you don't know my sword skills..." Xiao Qi didn't even realize that Meng Shiyu was putting eye drops on him, and said proudly.

"I went to the roof of the house where we live today to have a look and need to repair it. If it rains, it will probably leak." Li Yulou said to Meng Shiyu during the meal.

"There's nothing to do in the yamen these two days. I'll ask those yamen servants to repair the roof. Don't go up there by yourself." Meng Shiyu warned.

When Meng Shiyu had nothing to do in the past two days, he would take a look around the county town to see what needed repairing.

He wants to build Linshui County into a well-known demonstration county.

Li Yulou did not follow him.He was worried that Li Yulou would climb to the roof to repair the roof on his own initiative.

"Well, I see. If you leave Zhang Dazhu to me, I think he can do carpentry, and he won't go on strike..." Li Yulou said.

Meng Shiyu nodded, "If possible, let him repair that bed as well."

"Then I'm sorry." Li Yulou said.

Xiao Qi felt that the content of the conversation between the young master and his wife was a little deep, and his heart beat a little faster when he heard it.

His gaze fell on Chuntao, who seemed to be unable to understand what Li Yulou and Meng Shiyu were saying at all, and was still concentrating on eating mutton.

Xiao Qi's heart darkened again.

After the Linshui county government started operating, things started to increase.

Master Zhu came to complain to Meng Shiyu, "The common people know that Meng Qingtian has come to the yamen, and there are more messy things. I really can't handle it by myself."

"Your Excellency, you have to work hard for a few days. When I get the money, we will spend the money to go to Xiuzhou or Hangzhou to find some scholars to help you with these mundane affairs, and Master Zhu will be able to relax again." Meng Shiyu said .

Master Zhu looked at Meng Shiyu seriously and said, "Then we've made a deal, we'll find some scholars if we have money."

"That's natural." Meng Shiyu nodded firmly.

In a blink of an eye, it was another few days.Xiao Wu came back with silver.

"My lord, many of those things are top-grade, and some are Nanyang products, which are expensive, and the total price is 65 taels..." Xiao Wu said excitedly.

At that time, Meng Shiyu estimated at the most conservative price, but now it seems that he is really too conservative.

"Keep the accounts well..." Meng Shiyu said.

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.

With money, everything is convenient.

"Zhang Dazhu..." Meng Siyu shouted.

"My lord!" Zhang Dazhu came in from the door, "What orders do you have?"

"Go recruit workers...bricklayers, carpenters, mechanics...all of them, the more the better..." Meng Shiyu said.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Zhang Dazhu asked suspiciously.

"First renovate all the streets in Linshui County, widen everything that can be widened, and build a few leisure squares, parks and other places, go..." Meng Shiyu waved his hands.

Although Zhang Dazhu didn't fully understand what Meng Shiyu wanted to do, he knew that he was going to do big things.

Meng Shiyu returned to his residence with the bank notes.

"So much money?" Li Yulou looked shocked when he saw the banknote.

"It's all from selling the things of the Gao family. You can record it for me and put it in the account of the yamen... I have to make a comprehensive plan..." Meng Shiyu said.
