The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 28 Mutual Utilization Agreements

Entering the meeting hall, all the generals looked at Lin Yifan and Lin Yifan. After all, they were battle-tested people. The murderous look in their eyes made Lin Yifan and Wang Fugui feel their scalps go numb and their backs feel cold.But these generals didn't know that Lin Yifan had been walking on the killing field from the very beginning, and his body was no less bloody than theirs.Although it feels uncomfortable, it will not be intimidated.

Seeing that the two ignored the coercion of the crowd and came forward to salute indifferently, the generals couldn't help but look at each other. Is this still the timid businessman who is as timid as a mouse?How does it feel like a battle-tested general is patrolling?
The general sitting on the main seat silently watched the actions of the two people below, and was also surprised in his heart. He thought to himself that these two people are not simple, "Are you businessmen from Hengshan County?"

"Returning to the general, the villain is indeed a businessman from Hengshan County. His name is Wang Fugui. This is the nephew of the villain." Wang Fugui hurriedly said respectfully.

"Well, although Hengshan County is outside the customs, it is also the territory of our empire. It is understandable for you to do business. However, the imperial court has issued a decree that you are not allowed to trade with the golden wolf. You secretly communicated with the golden wolf, and dare to pass by me blatantly. Believe it or not Shall I immediately order you all to be beheaded?" The general's face suddenly changed, murderous intent filled the air.

"General, general, what the villain sold did not come from the golden wolf, nor did he have anything to do with the golden wolf. Please be clear, general." Wang Fugui was shocked by the general's words, and quickly knelt down and explained.

"Hmph, it's not the goods from the Golden Werewolves, and where did they come from? Don't tell me it's from Hengshan County." The general still insisted.

"General, this, this is indeed from Hengshan County, the county magistrate can testify." Wang Fugui defended palely.

"Nonsense, Hengshan County has just been looted by the Golden Werewolf, how could there be goods for you to buy? How dare you lie to us, you should be punished!" The burly general at the side yelled fiercely, and pulled it out with a bang. The saber at his waist was about to strike.

"Stop!" Lin Yifan, who was silent at the side, finally couldn't bear it anymore, shouted, stepped forward, stood in front of Wang Fugui, and glared.

"Stinky boy, you are looking for death!" The general Shuozhuang stared at Lin Yifan with a smirk, as if he was going to cut him down.

"You can try, you won't even think about surviving if you kill me." Without fear, Lin Yifan raised his head and looked at the general with disdain.

"Who do you think you are, I will kill you today." General Shuo Zhuang was enraged, he raised the knife in his hand and slashed down.

"Move quickly, my lord!" Wang Fugui rushed forward frantically.

"Stop!" The general who had been indifferent all this time stood up suddenly and shouted.

With a clanging sound, just as the blade was approaching the top of the head, a cold light quickly passed by, and the shadow of the blade fell aside, and it was the white-faced and beardless general who shot.

"Qin Yuanhao, what are you doing?" The burly general glared at the general who rescued Lin Yifan.

"Lei Biao, Yuan Hao saved your life just now, do you know that?" The general glared at the general Shuzhuang, and shouted.

"I'm about to kill this kid, who needs his help?" Lei Biao said in disbelief.

"Hmph, you are not capable of killing this lord, right, County Magistrate Lin." The general looked at Lin Yifan and said with a half-smile.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being shocked, what, this young man is actually a county magistrate?
Seeing that the general had seen through his identity, Lin Yifan couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the general found out. My officer Lin Dong, I have met the general." Then he turned his head and nodded to Qin Yuanhao.

The general laughed, and said meaningfully: "My official is Zhang Yunyang, the guard of Polang Pass. How could Mr. Lin appear here? Don't you know that the county magistrate is not allowed to go outside the jurisdiction?

"Naturally, the lower officials know that there are also difficulties in going out this time. Hengshan County is waiting for prosperity, so I have no choice but to come out in person to seek livelihood for Hengshan County. Please don't laugh at me, General."

"Your Excellency loves the people like a son, so I naturally won't laugh at it, but the court's laws cannot be disregarded. Master Lin's move is very inappropriate." General Zhang shook his head and said in embarrassment.

Lin Yifan's heart moved. In the past, when watching TV, anyone who spoke like this usually wanted to ask for bribes. Could it be the same for this general? Then it would be easy. "The lower officials naturally know that this is not appropriate, but for the livelihood of the people, the lower officials have no choice but to do so, so I ask the general to do it. For this reason, we have also prepared a small gift for the general and you, and we hope to accept it."

General Zhang and the generals were shocked when they heard the words, and the tense atmosphere eased. General Zhang said with a smile: "Master Lin is for the country and the people. Although it is not legal, the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Imperial soldiers should be as concerned about the country and the people as adults. I will turn a blind eye to this matter, and hope that Lord Lin will take care of himself."

"Thank you General, General, I, Hengshan County, will repay you for what you accomplished today." Lin Yifan said gratefully.Unexpectedly, this general, who looks dignified and mighty, is actually a corrupt official.One line of bribery immediately changed his expression, he was not reserved at all, and despised him.

"Hehe, since that's the case, you can go now with my general order." General Zhang took out a piece of paper indifferently, wrote a few lines, stamped it with the general's seal, and handed it to Lin Yifan.

"Okay." Lin Yifan happily put away the general order, turned around and was about to leave, when a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred, he quickly stopped and stood there dumbfounded.

General Zhang looked at it suspiciously, and said, "Master Lin, what's the matter, is there anything else?"

Lin Yifan turned around, smiling all over his face, "General, there is indeed something else to discuss with the general. I wonder if it's convenient now."

General Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yifan. Seeing his serious face, he looked around and said, "The people here are all our own people. If there is anything, please tell me."

"General, I want to sign an agreement with you, an agreement that is beneficial to both you and me."

"Agreement?" General Zhang frowned slightly, "Talk about it."

"General, it's like this. When I first entered the customs, I saw most of the soldiers looked pale and listless. It must be very difficult to live here?" Lin Yifan asked tentatively.

"Hmph, it's not the fault of your civil servants." Lei Biao yelled angrily at the side.

"Shut up." General Zhang glanced at Lei Biao, and said in a blink of an eye, "That's right, but the imperial court also has its own difficulties. Those of us who serve as soldiers guarding the country's borders must be able to endure hardships. This difficulty can still be tolerated."

"The general is indeed a minister of the country who is loyal to the country. The officials admire it very much. However, the generals and soldiers live and die for the court and the people, but they don't have enough clothes to keep warm, and they don't have enough food. The officials feel sad when they think of this. Of course, the imperial court has its own difficulties, but as imperial officials, we are the guardians of the country, how can we not share the worries of the country and the emperor?" Lin Yifan carefully said a long paragraph of compliments, then changed the topic, Said, "Thus, the lower officials thought, why not you and I cooperate to jointly operate the caravan? With the operation of the caravan, not only can Hengshan County develop, but also the income from breaking the wolf pass can improve the lives of the soldiers. Ah. After all, now that the imperial court has banned communication with the grassland, Polang Pass is no longer the grand occasion it used to be. If things go on like this, Polang Pass will become even more dilapidated. How can it resist the golden werewolf's iron hooves? General, what do you think? "

"This?" General Zhang showed embarrassment, because doing so was illegal, and once the court found out, he would be finished.But what Lin Yifan said was very reasonable. The court treated him so harshly, and the officers and soldiers had already felt resentment. He was dispatched here, and he didn't get any money.So he said: "Let's first talk about what kind of regulations this agreement is, and let's think about it."

Afterwards, Lin Yifan explained the terms of the agreement one by one. The Hengshan caravan was jointly operated by Hengshan County and Polangguan, but nominally it belonged to Hengshan County.The income from the operation is divided into eight at Hengshan and two at Polangguan.But to break the wolf pass, you must invest 6000 taels, and send some soldiers to join the caravan guard.Hengshan caravans do not need to pay any taxes and fees when entering and exiting Polang Pass, and they can enter and exit freely.Hengshan County can set up a market in Polangguan to trade with soldiers.

After saying this, General Zhang asked Lin Yifan to go out and wait. After discussing with the generals for a while, he called Lin Yifan in and made some adjustments to the agreement.Of course Lin Yifan refused to do it, and immediately argued for it.In the end, the two parties reached an agreement that the caravan would still be held by Hengshan County, and Polangguan would become a shareholder.Polangguan is willing to invest 5000 taels and send [-] elites to join the caravan.Hengshan caravans can enter and leave the customs without paying taxes, but the soldiers in the customs enjoy the right of first refusal and preferential prices.Hengshan County can establish a bazaar in Polang Pass, but the generals and generals also participate in the establishment of the bazaar in the form of shares.After the rest of the parties had finished discussing in detail, Lin Yifan signed the proposed agreement with the general.

Lin Yifan habitually picked up the agreement, stretched out his hand to hold the general's hand with a smile on his face, and said, "It's a happy cooperation."

General Zhang was stunned by Lin Yifan's actions, so he could only follow the words: "It's a pleasant cooperation."

The two hands were tightly clasped together, only the camera flickered.
