Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 13 The key to promotion is taxation
The people sent by the magistrate ran away, and the servants who escorted the two officials rushed back.

"My lord, do you want to continue fighting?"

Jiawu was beaten again, and he passed out again. If the beating continues, his life may be in danger.

So the yamen servant asked a question.

Qin Feng actually intended to kill him, but he had no choice but to commit a crime that was not enough to warrant death.

As a parent official, he can't act foolishly in front of the people, even though the people may not know the specific content of the law of the dynasty...

And right now, what concerns Qin Feng the most is whether Jiawu has told the truth.

"How many boards are there?"

"I still owe 54 boards."

"Well, don't hit it for now. Save this board for Jiawu, and then slowly fill it up when he recovers from his injury. One hundred boards, you can't miss it at once!"

Qin Feng flicked his sleeves and randomly selected two yamen servants: "Take him back and put him in prison!"

Then he said to Sun Dabao and Wang Long: "You two, come with me, let the common people follow, let's go and see if Jiawu is telling the truth!"

"Yes!"

Jiawu confessed that the place where the money was hidden was by the only river in the county.

According to Qin Feng's command, the yamen servants searched and found a very inconspicuous mud hole on the river bank, with a lot of grass growing beside it, which was tightly covered.

If you look carefully, you can find that these aquatic plants grow very strangely, and the direction seems to be adjusted to cover up the cave.

This place is inaccessible and far away from the county seat. It is estimated that no one will come here for ten days and a half months. It is really quite safe.

"Dig it for me!"

As soon as Qin Feng gave an order, Wang Long and Sun Dabao immediately started to work.

The people gathered in a circle, discussing and guessing.

"You say, how much silver did Jiawu hide in this cave?"

"Ha, then there must be... 300 taels?"

"300 taels? You underestimate him too much... This bastard in Jiawu has taken advantage of us poor people for more than 300 taels over the years. In addition, the money given by the gentry to make him adjudicated unjustly, falsely and wrongly convicted. Say, no matter what...2000 taels!"

"2000 taels? So much money... I can eat for several lifetimes!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid 2000 taels is still a small amount."

Amidst the suspicions of the common people, Wang Long's hoe was the first to hit a hard object with a "clang".

Wang Long quickly threw away the hoe, picked up the shovel, and cleaned up the nearby soil. What caught his eye was a huge box!

He stretched out his hand to pull it, but he still couldn't move it. It was still very difficult to call Sun Dabao!
so heavy?
Jiawu, this bastard, how much money did he hide?

Qin Feng was muttering in his heart, and was about to tell Wang Long to stop, and went to call some more yamen servants.

But a big man among the surrounding people took a step ahead, walked behind Wang Long, and hugged his waist.

"Folks, Mr. Qin is eliminating harm for the people, and now we are in trouble, we should work together to help Mr. Qin dig out the evidence of corruption during the Jiawu period!"

"Okay, I'll help too!"

"And I!"

The common people stepped forward one after another, and seven or eight people stood up in a short while, forming a long queue.

Everyone worked hard together, and the box was finally lifted out.

Open it and take a look, there is at least 1 taels of silver in it!

"That much money?"

The people exclaimed.

When have these common people seen so much money?Ordinary people see that money is open, and they probably go up and grab a few.

But these people were afraid of being bullied by the original Qin Feng and Jiawu, and they didn't have this idea at all, but they all backed away in fright.

Qin Feng couldn't help feeling sorry for these common people when he saw it.

The poor peasants in ancient times really lived in dire straits!
But now that he, Qin Feng, is here, he is going to change everything.

And he must make good use of this money.

"Bring it back!"

Qin Feng said to Wang Long.

The common people helped, carried the box back together with the two yamen servants, and placed it directly in the warehouse of the county yamen.

Qin Feng locked the lock himself and kept the key.

After the helpers walked out of the county office, they began to mutter.

"The county lord is well-off this time. With so much money, even if it's delicacies from mountains and seas every day, it's enough for him to squander his whole life."

"Hey, didn't the county magistrate say that the money will be used to benefit the people in the county?"

"Hey... he just said that, do you take it seriously? How can there be such an upright official in this world? I'm afraid it's only in the story."

"That is, if he really wants to benefit the common people, with so much money, each household in the county will receive 20 taels of silver, and there will still be a surplus..."

"That's enough, that's enough, let's be content, as long as the county magistrate can judge cases fairly in the future, it's good to be a good parent officer. The money is not up to us..."

After hearing the last sentence, the group nodded and left with disappointment on their faces.

After they walked away, Qin Feng came out from the side of the door, looked at them with a wry smile and shook his head.

It is not a short-term thing to change the impression left by the former lord on the people.

Does Qin Feng love money?
Natural love.

Especially in ancient times, it was impossible to move an inch without money!

But if he were to take the money down himself, he wouldn't do it.

A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, and if the money is greedy and spent, it is just dead money, and sooner or later there will be a day when it will be empty.

It is even more impossible to distribute money to the common people.

Poor people can't earn one or two taels of silver all year round. If they are given too much money at once and let them get rich overnight, they will not be able to adapt.

Maybe someone will save it, maybe someone will squander it. Either way, it is not the best use of funds.

With so much silver, of course it has to be used to make money!

Although Qin Feng didn't work in his previous life and didn't have much experience in starting a business, his principles are always much stronger than those of ordinary people.

Use this money as start-up capital, use the population of a county, and start some business.

Since then, he has been able to drive the whole county to become rich, and the whole county has become rich. As a county magistrate, he will only become richer.

The most important thing is that only when the people are rich can they have taxes to collect!
In ancient times, county magistrates, in addition to adjudicating cases and upholding justice for the common people, also had the duties of tax officials.

And the duty of the tax officer is the key to promotion.

If you pay taxes well, your political achievements are indispensable. If you can earn money for the emperor, the emperor will of course promote you!
Traveling to ancient times, how could Qin Feng be satisfied with only one magistrate?
He himself is from the future, with advanced ideas and knowledge in his mind.Now that there is still a system added, he must take advantage of such a good condition.

Soar to fame!

Under one person, above ten thousand people!

But everything must be considered in the long run, not reckless.

Gather information first!

Intelligence is necessary for success!

Thinking about his future plans, Qin Feng walked back to his room, shook the pot, and when there was no water, he said loudly, "Come here, serve tea!"
