Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 160 Li Minggui, Governor of Dongchang County

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen in Daqing Kingdom, their status has always been very low.

But most businessmen don't mind this, because being a businessman is really very profitable.

To do business in Daqing State, you only need to pay [-]% of the selling price of the goods to the government to operate legally.

When those dignitaries look down on the merchants, the merchants are making a fortune silently.

When those dignitaries react, they will also take advantage of the low business tax to do business secretly, earn huge profits, and thus obtain additional economic income.

Officials in Daqing, no matter good or bad, almost every family has someone in business.

If there is no extra financial income, they simply cannot afford to support such a large family with the meager salary that Emperor Yongshou gave them.

It is even more impossible to order slaves to call servants.

If another high-ranking official came to ask them to entertain them, after the entertaining, the whole family would have to eat dirt.

A good official like Zhao Wenchang, Zhao County Magistrate, will also restrain his family members and let them do business and make money.

The new Dongchang prefect Li Minggui was different.

He was originally the new county magistrate sent to Qingjiang County, Xichang County. When he was sailing south to Dongchang County by boat, he happened to meet Eunuch Li, a big celebrity in front of the imperial court.

Eunuch Li, an eunuch, has a lot of power. He fought with Li Minggui's family, and he could barely get involved with some relatives.

At that time, Qingjiang County was occupied by rebel soldiers and people. Li Minggui was afraid of losing his life and didn't want to take office, so he turned his idea on Eunuch Li.

He took out his pocket and gave Eunuch Li a generous gift.

As soon as Eunuch Li was satisfied, he immediately kicked Zhao Wenchang, who he disliked, to Qingjiang County, and replaced Li Minggui as the new Qingjiang county magistrate.

Li Minggui, who was going to Qingjiang County to take up his post, replaced Zhao Wenchang and became the new governor of Dongchang.

Li Minggui was very fortunate that he didn't have to go to Qingjiang County to clean up the mess.

But after a long time as the governor of Dongchang, he became worried again.

Although there was no military disaster in Dongchang County, it was also affected by drought, and the task of disaster relief was also very arduous.

Moreover, doing a good job in disaster relief in one county is much more difficult than doing a good job in disaster relief in one county. There are five counties under Dongchang County.

With great difficulty, relying on his family's power, he threatened those local snakes in Dongchang County to spend money and efforts, and fooled the disaster relief work, but Emperor Yongshou sent Zhao Da Sikong to inspect and accept the disaster relief results from all over Suizhou.

This Zhao Da Sikong is so immortal, it is Zhao Wenchang's brother who was squeezed away by him before!

One can imagine how terrified Li Minggui was at that time.

In order to compensate Zhao Wenchang in disguise, Li Minggui tried his best to entertain Zhao Da Sikong.

Hearing that Zhao Da Sikong loved colored glaze, Li Minggui borrowed a huge sum of money to buy a large number of colored glaze utensils and gave them directly to Zhao Da Sikong.

When Zhao Da Sikong was about to leave, he patted him on the shoulder, and praised him for being very sensible. After hearing this, Li Minggui slowly let go of his hanging heart.

After Zhao Da Sikong left, Li Minggui began to plunder in Dongchang County in order to make up for the shortfall. He plundered all the merchants, landlords, civilians, and disaster victims.

The person sent by Chen Yuanwai to open a soap store in Dongchang County was naturally targeted by Li Minggui.

Li Minggui has heard of the name of floral soap for a long time, selling 88 taels of silver, the profit of one piece, at least 40 taels, right?

This is a big piece of fat!One bite, and he'll be rich!
Li Minggui sent a few minions out to keep an eye on the people from Qingjiang County.

When the flower-scented soap store in Dongchang County was about to open, he suddenly led a large number of officers and soldiers to seize the warehouse where the flower-scented soap was stocked under the pretext that someone reported that the flower-scented soap might be poisonous.

Seizing this batch of floral soap is just the first step in his meat-eating plan.

He also wants to lure the big boss behind the flower-scented soap to Dongchang County, use the excuse that the soap is poisonous to continue to take down the big boss, put the big boss in prison, and let his family take the recipe for making the flower-scented soap to replace.

After doing this, he can get the formula, produce it himself, sell it himself, and make a lot of money by himself!Hey Hey……

……

Jiang Erya listened to Yuanwai Chen's cry, and after bargaining with the dog system, she reluctantly spent 2 attribute points and heard the inner monologue of Li Minggui, the governor of Dongchang County.

Li Minggui's last "hehehehe" smirk almost sent Jiang Erya away.

It's too ugly.

It's even uglier than Jiang Erya's pentatonic song!
Jiang Erya trembled in disgust, and said to Chen Yuanwai: "Okay, don't squeeze if you don't have tears.

What are you doing in front of me?

Don't you want to laugh at the governor of Dongchang for committing suicide and offending my aunt?

Laugh if you want.

Don't fake cry.

She was already ugly, but at such an advanced age, real crying is not good, and fake crying is even uglier. "

Chen Yuanwai wiped his face, and said with mischievous eyebrows: "Grandma, are you going to Dongchang County? Are you going to beat up the governor of Dongchang County? Can you take us with you?"

Chen Yuanwai was beaten by Jiang Erya, and he always regretted that Jiang Erya didn't beat up other gentry and wealthy households in Qingjiang County, which made him feel a strange sense of loneliness.

Now, he finally had the opportunity to watch Jiang Erya beat another person, not to mention how excited he was.

Not only was he going to the scene to watch the play, he also planned to wait for Jiang Erya to beat the Dongchang Sheriff to the ground, and then warn the Dongchang Sheriff as someone who had been there.

He wants the governor of Dongchang to understand clearly that he must not reach out when he should not reach out, and that he must know current affairs when he should know the current affairs...

Jiang Erya thought of Li Minggui, the Governor of Dongchang County, and rubbed her forehead.

It seems that it is not as easy as she thought to make the soap business bigger and stronger.

There are so many corrupt officials in Daqing, if the soap business is under their noses, they will definitely be like Li Minggui, like flies seeing honey.

What to do then?
One can't come out, so she just goes over and beats one up, right?

If that's the case, she'll be busy.

Just when Jiang Erya was feeling worried, the two female guards who were by Mrs. Dingguo's side came to the door.

It turned out that after Mrs. Dingguo knew the huge profits behind the scented soap, someone would follow her great-granddaughter's business.

Therefore, when she returned to the capital, she did not bring these two female guards with her, but asked them to stay quietly in Qingjiang County with the badge of Dingguo Duke's Mansion.When Jiang Erya is in need, they will come to the door again to escort Jiang Erya.

Chen Yuanwai was even happier when he saw the female guard beside Mrs. Dingguo.

With my aunt's strong fighting power, plus the token of Duke Dingguo's mansion, ten Dongchang county guards will come at once, so they don't have to be afraid.
