Chapter 7

The county government office has three floors. Lin Xiaofeng entertained Emperor Jingjiang in a side room on the second floor.

At this time, drumming and grievances were being played downstairs.

At this time, in the county government hall downstairs, people had gathered outside the barrier to watch.

Under the huge plaque "hanging high mirror" for petitioning the county government, a person is kneeling.

Two straight rows of government officials stood on both sides, holding water and fire sticks, looking extremely majestic.

Everyone is waiting for the county magistrate to appear.

Lin Xiaofeng put down his chopsticks with an impatient expression, and while cooperating with the maid behind him to dress himself, he apologized to Emperor Jingjiang and the other two.

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wang, what a coincidence, I have to deal with government affairs before I finish breakfast. You eat first, don't worry about me!"

"But that's right, I haven't been complaining about this for two months, and it's just the right time for you to happen!"

"It doesn't matter, we just want to go and see the excitement!" Emperor Jingjiang followed calmly.

"Let's go! Ascending to the hall!"

·······
  "mighty········"

With the yamen's low voice singing, Lin Xiaofeng sat behind the public case.

And Wang Laoer, who was crying in the audience, cried even more vigorously!

"Sir, the common people have been wronged! They have been wronged! The common people have huge grievances and want to sue the county government..."

"Hold the straw!" Before Wang Laoer could finish his words, Lin Xiaofeng almost got angry and sued the county government. You really know how to play!

If you haven't been to the court this month, have you, these unscrupulous people, forgotten the fear of being dominated by the murderous stick of our county government? ! ! !

"Hey! Who in the hall is suing me!"

The gavel clapped violently, only to be met with roars of laughter from the onlookers.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Lin Xiaofeng held the gavel and patted it three times in a row, and said loudly: "Quiet! If anyone makes any noise, pull them in first and get a twenty-kill stick!"

This scene made Emperor Jingjiang frown: 'Is it possible that this county government has been corrupted and violated the law to the point of being sued by the people? Why does this look more and more like a faint official? ’

The whole place fell silent in an instant. Wang Jingwen covered his mouth and whispered in Emperor Jingjiang's ear: "Your Majesty, look at this man, he is so vicious! He is bringing trouble to everyone!"

"Well, don't worry, let's take a look first and then talk!"

·······
  Wang Laoer in the audience was a little confused and hurriedly explained: "Sir, I don't want to sue you, I don't dare to do that. What I want to sue is Xie Hongxin, the county government's catcher!"

"Oh, you have to sue him!" Lin Xiaofeng blushed, "Don't be out of breath when you talk! After all... what are you going to sue Hong Xin for?"

"My lord, I raised two old cows in the south of the city. Last month, Xie Hongxin said he wanted to buy them, but it has been a month since he moved the cows away, and he has not given any money!"

"This is one-half of the villain's property, a full twenty taels of silver!"

"Because there was really no way to contact Xie Hongxin, I had no choice but to beat the drum and complain!"

After hearing what Wang Laoer said, Lin Xiaofeng's expression gradually softened.

It’s just twenty taels of silver, what a big deal!

As for Xie Hongxin...

"Xie Hongxin, come out! Is what Wang Laoer said true?!"

Xie Hongxin walked down the hall and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Sir, this is indeed the case. Last month, because the Yamen was cooking beef, I went to buy one, but because I didn't have enough silver, I said I would pay for it another day. As a result, I forgot to give it to him because of my recent busy schedule!"

Hearing what Xie Hongxin said, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly blushed. He recalled that he wanted to eat beef hot pot on a whim and wanted to kill it immediately, so he asked Xie Hongxin to buy the cow.

But now, Lin Xiaofeng could only pretend to be angry: "Well, Xie Hongxin, why don't you pay the money to me quickly!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Saying that, Xie Hongxin quickly took out twenty taels of silver and stuffed it into Mr. Wang's hands.

Wang Laoer burst into tears of gratitude and was about to leave when the gavel clapped again.

"Snapped!"

"Xie Hongxin, if these twenty taels of silver are borrowed from the private sector, how much interest will there be per month?" Lin Xiaofeng asked angrily.

"Sir, the interest rate for private loans is currently three cents, and the monthly interest is less than one tael of silver." Xie Hongxin said in a nonchalant manner: "I will make up the interest for Wang Laoer right now."

Saying that, Xie Hongxin took out another tael of silver and stuffed it into Mr. Wang's hand.

Wang Laoer's face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Hey, I ordered you to buy this cow. Xie Hongxin, it's a crime for you to forget to pay the bill, and it's also a crime for me to be negligent in supervising." After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng took out a tael of silver himself, walked to the front of the hall and handed it to Wang Laoer.

At this time, Wang Laoer wanted to hold Feng Yihao's thigh and cry bitterly.

This is the official parent!
  Emperor Jingjiang looked at this scene in surprise.

The emperor committed the same crime as the common people.

To put it simply, there may be too few people like Lin Xiaofeng!

·······
  "Go to Zuiyue Tower and get the banknotes, and let's sign a drinking contract with Lin Xiaofeng!"

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Jingjiang said, "I am more and more curious about County Magistrate Lin!"

"Then let's go to Duantian Mansion?" Wang Jingwen asked.

"No, it's been a long time since I came out this time. Although there is a prince overseeing the country, there should be some things that he can't handle!" As he said that, Emperor Jingjiang let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect that Lin Xiaofeng, in his early twenties, could handle this. Yangqu County is managed like this, if the prince can be one-third as good as him, I don’t have to have such a headache!"

Wang Jingwen shook his head: "Your Majesty, Lin Xiaofeng is an official of the imperial court, but he has to do business and sing at the same time. Isn't there something wrong..."

"What's wrong with this?" Emperor Jingjiang shook his head: "The development of Yangqu County to its current level due to the poor mountains and rivers is entirely due to his extraordinary means. If it were other officials, they would never be able to reach this level in their dreams. level!"

"This Lin Xiaofeng is indeed interesting!"

Wang Jingwen was very dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, he just used some sneaky tricks. Those tricks that tricked others into buying drinks at high prices made me feel ashamed for him!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Jingjiang interrupted him angrily: "If you can make the people rich by cheating and cheating, why not? What's more, this man sets an example and will not dominate just because the people complain."

"As long as half of the officials in the world are as capable as one-fifth of him, I can rest easy!"

"By the way, do some research when you go back. Why have the inspection officials never reported any news about Yangqu County in these years?"

"Yes!" Wang Jingwen pouted. He accompanied Emperor Jingjiang on a private visit all the way, but in the end he lost all the benefits and accumulated a lot of work. He felt aggrieved, but he still said out of habit: "Your Majesty, you are wise. !”

"Hmph! Parrot imitating!"

Wang Jingwen: "········"

·······
  After finishing the official business, Lin Xiaofeng didn't want to go back to drink chicken soup, so he took Emperor Jingjiang and the two of them directly to the side room. This is a teahouse specially set aside by Lin Xiaofeng when he renovated the Yamen.

In a relatively remote location within the Yamen, not only was there no noise outside, but Lin Xiaofeng also made noise inside.

There was only a long table, a few chairs, and a few cabinets in the room.

For sound insulation, there are no windows in the room, and oil lamps must be lit even in broad daylight.

Through the light, you can see a vigorous calligraphy on the wall directly opposite the door.

"If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be spirit if there are dragons. This is a humble room, but I am virtuous."

Emperor Jingjiang turned his hands behind his back and stared at the poems on the wall, falling silent for a moment.

Wang Jingwen, on the other hand, was lying on the table next to him, staring curiously at the strange device in front of him.

It seemed like a huge suona had been dismantled.

But there is another needle under the suona, and corresponding to the needle is a copper pillar and rocking handle.

It's very strange and I don't know what it is used for.

Surprising!

Wang Jingwen only felt weird!

·······
  "County Magistrate Lin, are you the one who said these words?" Seeing Lin Xiaofeng slowly approaching the nest, Emperor Jingjiang turned slightly and asked.

"That's not true. I got this from ancient books. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote it and hung it on the wall."

Lin Xiaofeng is a decent person after all, but he doesn't look down on the behavior of those time-travelers who copy books and poems!

"It's a pity that I couldn't get the whole story!" Emperor Jingjiang said with emotion.

Yo! I didn’t realize it, but he is still a businessman with an artistic style!

Lin Xiaofeng thought about it in his heart, but asked: "What have you two thought about it, but have you decided to order peach blossom wine?"

"Yes," Emperor Jingjiang nodded: "Let's sign a contract. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly in the future. I also hope that the first batch of peach blossom wine can open up sales in the capital!"

"After the contract was signed, we returned to Beijing with peach blossom wine for sale."

"Bring me the banknotes!"

Wang Jingwen took out the banknote, placed it in front of Lin Xiaofeng, and asked with some reluctance: "Are the peach blossom wine ready?"

"Haha, don't worry! Xie Hongxin!"

After giving an order, Xie Hongxin walked in directly holding a wooden box.

Opening a box, I saw a hundred small bottles neatly arranged inside. The bottles were exquisite and had a pink emblem on them, which read "Excellent Peach Blossom Brew" in five beautiful fonts.

"We have packed them all. They are all in small bottles. One bottle is worth twenty taels of silver, and one hundred bottles is worth two thousand taels of silver. You can open it for inspection."

"And this is the emblem of our Yangqu County. You can hang it directly on the carriage in the future. This way you can travel unimpeded in Yangqu County, and you can also pick up the goods directly from the county government, whether I'm here or not."

With that said, Lin Xiaofeng handed over two pieces of paper.

Emperor Jingjiang took it and took a look and saw one with "Contract" written on it and the other with "Confidentiality Contract" written on it.

I took a brief look at the contents of the "Contract" and found that it was no different from what I had communicated before, so there was no big problem.

On the contrary, it was the contents of the "Confidentiality Contract" that made Emperor Jingjiang a little confused: "Magistrate Lin, why don't Yangqu County be mentioned to the outside world?"

"Hey, it's not a big deal," Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "It's just a periodic confidentiality agreement! Mr. Zheng, you can also see that our Yangqu County is not a big place, but this peach blossom wine is bound to be popular. Everyone. There is no crime of possessing a jade, so we can only do this and write down the book."

"Otherwise, if outsiders come in large numbers to purchase goods or even rob them, I don't have many government officials available."

"Of course, this can also protect your rights and interests. After all, with this "Confidentiality Agreement", if other people don't know the source of peach blossom brew, you will become the exclusive sales channel! Naturally, the benefits will be maximized!"

"Then below, those who violate the "Confidentiality Agreement" will be hit by a car when they go out, get fish bones stuck when eating, and give birth to a son without an asshole...*&()*&)········% ¥#@!········Can these be changed?”

"Of course not!"

"Then what does this final right of interpretation mean, and why does it belong to Yangqu County?"

"That's the literal meaning! There's nothing you can't understand about this! Sign it!"

"Forehead········"

Emperor Jingjiang was sweating a little.

This is completely a black-hearted contract!
  He didn't care about those poisonous curses, but what the hell was this final right of interpretation?

What are you talking about?
  After much hesitation, Emperor Jingjiang gritted his teeth and signed the "Contract" and "Confidentiality Contract".

‘Anyway, I’m using a fake name, so just sign it! ’

Seeing Emperor Jingjiang's appearance, Wang Jingwen couldn't help but take a breath.

‘This guy...is really a good candidate to be a eunuch! Especially the point of eating people without spitting out their bones! How about giving your Majesty some advice? No, no! If he enters the palace, nothing will happen to me! ’

·······
  After picking up the contract and confirming that Emperor Jingjiang signed and deposited it, Lin Xiaofeng said slowly: "Then our last step is, please read this contract over again!"

"Xie Hongxin, get ready!"

After receiving the order, Xie Hongxin spared Emperor Jingjiang, skillfully took out a roll of silver foil from the cabinet at the back, and stuck it on the pillar of the strange object on the table.

Then he put his hand on the rocker, ready to shake at any time.

"Master Lin, what are you doing?" Emperor Jingjiang was a little confused.

"Nothing, this is a unique ceremony in our Yangqu County!" After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng enthusiastically took Emperor Jingjiang's hand and walked to the suona: "Come, face this suona and put the "Contract" and "Confidentiality Contract" Just read the content above. This can verify the partners’ intentions. As long as they cooperate sincerely and don’t try to trick me, there will be no problem!”

Emperor Jingjiang's face was full of doubts, but he had already signed and pledged it. It seemed like it would be okay to read it again...?

"Come on, I'll say one, two, three, Mr. Zheng, just start reading!"

"one two Three!"

"I am Zheng Shimin..."

Emperor Jingjiang read it, and at the same time, Xie Hongxin also turned the handle.

Emperor Jingjiang discovered that when he spoke, the fine needle at the end of the suona would constantly hit the silver foil on the pillar, leaving a dense patch of small dots on it.

After a stick of incense, Emperor Jingjiang finally finished reading the contents on the two pieces of paper, his mouth was a little dry.

I saw Xie Hongxin gently taking off the silver foil from the pillar, turning around and putting it away.

Emperor Jingjiang stretched out his hand to grab it and have a look, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't give him this chance at all.

 New book issue, thank you for your hard work, please give me a collection. I will repay you for your kindness and kindness.
