Chapter 55 Zhang Jinxiu’s plan
After a while, Master Zhao came, bringing with him a beautiful woman as beautiful as a flower.
The woman was wearing a purple fairy dress with wide sleeves, and the sleeves were finely embroidered with cloud patterns with silk thread. Her hair was combed into a fairy bun with two red hairpins on it, and she looked a bit cold like Ling Shuang Aoxue.
Everyone present looked a little hot in their eyes, but quickly restrained themselves.
"Congratulations, Master, on getting a beautiful girl. Where did Master find her? Can I find one someday?"
The words were arrogant, but Zhang Jinxiu's brows and eyes were filled with coldness.If it had been in a previous life, this man would have been dragged out to feed the dogs!
It's a pity that he is still useful now. Zhang Jinxiu withdrew his gaze and walked over without looking sideways.Don't rush, once the matter is done, this person will be of no use.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, don't say that. I called you here today because this girl has something to discuss with you. By the way, I haven't introduced you yet, this is Zhang Jinxiu."
After introducing Zhang Jinxiu, Master Zhao introduced everyone present to her.
"Her?" Shopkeeper Zhao, who was the first to speak, looked disdainful. "What important thing can a woman do to her? If Master is fine, I will go back first. I am busy with business at home."
The others didn't say anything, but that was what they meant. They obviously felt that Zhang Jinxiu was not worthy of talking to them.
"I know what you want, and I also know that you have not reached an agreement with County Magistrate Huang. What if I said, I can make the magistrate agree to your request!" Zhang Jinxiu glanced at the businessmen and said loudly.
"You have such a strong tone at such a young age. Who do you think you are? We couldn't get Magistrate Huang to let go. How can you, a little girl, do it?" Shopkeeper Tong said disdainfully.
"I already have a way, and I have told Master Zhao, and Master Zhao also agrees. Of course, your efforts are also needed in this. After all, you can't just take advantage of it and stop doing it!"
The businessmen all looked at Master Zhao, and he nodded, "I do think this method is feasible!"
With Master Zhao's affirmation, the noisy scene finally calmed down.
Zhang Jinxiu was very satisfied with this scene and said, "You must have heard about this corvee. First of all, I need you to donate a sum of money for..."

Another person died in Qinglongjiang. The news spread to nearby villages, and there was another discussion.
The villagers looked sad and fearful, fearing that the next person they heard would be their relatives' names.
"Folks, although the person who had the accident this time was not from our village, if things continue like this, it may be difficult for other people to get through the bridge and complete the repairs."
This is the truth, but no one dared to say it before. It was as if he wished something would happen to someone.
Everyone's eyes gathered and saw that it was Zhang Jinxiu, the granddaughter of the Li Zheng family.
Some villagers asked curiously: "Sister Xiu, what can you do?"
Zhang Jinxiu said with some pride: "I went to town today to raise a sum of money, and I plan to hire a few people to cook for them. After eating, I will feel more energetic about working."
After Zhang Jinxiu said that, everyone in the village was stunned. Someone asked in disbelief: "Sister Xiu, are you telling the truth?" Zhang Jinxiu nodded, "Of course it is true. I am the cook." I will give you ten cents as wages every day."
Everyone was still in disbelief. Zhang Jinxiu said emotionally: "We are all relatives in the same village. We meet each other without looking up. It is natural to have feelings after being together for so long. I still remember that many uncles and uncles hugged me when I was a child. Well, I will be sad if I can’t see you again.”
Then he looked at Zhang Yang's wife, "Sister Zhang Qing, do you want to sign up? Although Brother Zhang Yang has gone, my nephew still needs you."
Zhang Qing's tears fell again. She shook her head and said, "I can't worry about Yang Qing, so I won't go."
Her husband is gone and the child is still young. If something happens again, she will hate herself to death.
Zhang Jinyue was hidden in the crowd, quietly watching Zhang Jinxiu's show.Zhang Jinxiu has established a good reputation for herself, but those businessmen are so indifferent, how can they be so kind to spend money for charity?
She must have paid a price that satisfies the other party before the other party relented and gave the money. However, who knows which unlucky guy has been targeted by her this time?
Zhang Jinxiu and his people set off early the next morning, followed by many onlookers, and a large group of people headed towards Qinglong River.
"Stop! There is construction going on in front, no one is allowed in!"
"Brother, the people in our village are worried about their relatives and have pooled some money to take turns cooking for the people inside. Please be accommodating." Zhang Jinxiu stepped forward and said.
"No, you go back quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"Master, please be accommodating. My old man is not in good health. If he continues like this, he will die again!"
The officer said: "It is his fate to die here. That means his fate is not good!"
That arrogant look with his nostrils turned up in the air was so aggravating that some people clenched their fists and wanted to hit him on the head twice!
Zhang Jinxiu said righteously: "The imperial court wants to build a bridge. They are working diligently to contribute to the Wei Dynasty. They should not be treated like this. Besides, we are just giving them some food so that they can work harder!"
The official had already received Master Zhao's order and agreed after a little embarrassment.The people behind thought that Zhang Jinxiu had persuaded the officers and soldiers, and they all thought that she was a kind-hearted person and a bodhisattva-like figure.
Everything was as expected. The next day, Zhang Jinxiu took advantage of the situation and made an appointment to meet with Li Shen and told him about the matter.
"What? Three years of business tax exemption?" Li Shen frowned, this matter is not simple.
Land tax and business tax are the main sources of tax revenue, and it is difficult to complete one of the above tasks suddenly.
Zhang Jinxiu frowned slightly. This was obviously a good thing that benefited the people. He didn't understand what Li Shen was hesitating about.
She went to the capital in her previous life, and she still remembered that there was an earthquake in Longxi one year, people were displaced, and many victims came to the capital.At that time, she and several other wives also organized donations from merchants. The victims received rice and grain to sustain their lives, and the merchants gained a reputation for charity.This thing was done so well that after the Lord found out about it, he rewarded those merchants with idle officials!
"This, I'm afraid my father won't agree to this."
If it were other matters, he would definitely try his best to help her complete it, but when it came to court taxation, the stakes were huge. It was not something that could be waived. Even if he mentioned it, his father would most likely sneer at it. He couldn't tell. I have to scold him.
"Why don't you agree? This is a great thing that benefits the people, isn't it? If the government hadn't forced corvee labor and denied food, how could there have been deaths now? Wouldn't it be okay if we asked the merchants to donate money?" Zhang Jinxiu asked.
The woman was wearing a purple fairy dress with wide sleeves, and the sleeves were finely embroidered with cloud patterns with silk thread. Her hair was combed into a fairy bun with two red hairpins on it, and she looked a bit cold like Ling Shuang Aoxue.
