Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 75
The magistrate hurriedly ran out of the yamen and went straight to the Dengzhou grain depot.

Taxes and grains are collected from various places to the state treasury every year, and then transported by water to the official warehouse in Shandong Province - Taishan warehouse.

Along the way, the magistrates were thinking that it was impossible for Qin Feng to get enough grain to pay the grain tax so quickly, and the autumn harvest hadn't even been harvested yet!
But when he arrived at the state library, he was shocked by a dozen or so carts lined up.

Looking at the scale, has the food tax been collected?

how did you do that?
Qin Feng had been waiting at the front for a long time, and when he saw a person in official clothes coming from a distance, he immediately gave a scan.

The system fed back the information: [Jin Taoyan, magistrate, fourth rank, official prestige 300. 】

Today's Qin Feng is a fifth-rank official. Compared with the magistrate in front of him, no matter his official position, grade, or official prestige, he is still far behind.

The dog leg sent by the magistrate was beaten severely by Qin Feng, and he was locked up for a few days before being released.

It is impossible for the magistrate not to remember this matter, and he might not have a good impression of Qin Feng.

And what is the relationship between Jiawu and the magistrate, Qin Feng has not figured it out until now, he can only say that the relationship between the two is not shallow, otherwise the magistrate would not send a dog leg to his county.

In this way, when the magistrate sees Qin Feng, he will definitely not give him a good face.

If Qin Feng's rank is high enough, of course he is not afraid of him, but now there is such a gap between the two, in this official world, the strength is still obvious.

Even the system can't help much.

Qin Feng adjusted his state and told himself not to be too sharp, so as not to cause trouble.

He stood upright, and when the magistrate arrived, he bowed in a proper manner: "Qin Feng, the magistrate of Ninghai County, has met the magistrate."

"Hmm... let's be free!"

Although the magistrate was surprised, it didn't show on his face.

"I heard from my subordinates that you are here to pay the grain tax?"

"My lord, that's right."

"It's not yet the autumn harvest, where did you get so much grain? Couldn't it be all old grain with extremely poor quality?"

The flesh on the magistrate's face suddenly trembled, and he pointed at Qin Feng and shouted: "Qin Feng, you are so courageous! This is the official rations handed over to the court, and it is used to attack the court's soldiers and horses! Now the border has been fighting for years, If the soldiers and generals eat the food you sent, get sick, lose the war, and lose the land, can you take this responsibility?!"

As expected of the magistrate, he didn't check anything, just relied on guessing, and after guessing, he was a big hat!

And it may be because Qin Feng knew that there was such a thing as "official authority", he could clearly feel an invisible force oppressing him when the magistrate spoke.

And it's not just the official authority, it seems that this kind of gap will also be caused in terms of grade.

This taste is really not good.

Fortunately, Qin Feng knew that he had beaten the magistrate's dog legs before, and the magistrate must have a grudge.

This "offensive" of the roaring body has long been expected by Qin Feng.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in paying the grain tax, he has already made sufficient preparations. This time, he also strictly controlled the quality of the grain purchased. He personally inspected all the more than 20 shi of grain behind him, and not a single bag was genuine. questionable.

With this kind of confidence, Qin Feng could smile slightly, raised his head, cupped his hands and said to the magistrate: "My lord magistrate, the tax law of this dynasty only stipulates the quality of tax and grain, but it does not stipulate that old grain from previous years cannot be paid."

"The tax and food sent by the lower official this time is guaranteed to meet the standards of the imperial court. If the magistrate has any doubts, he can inspect it himself."

Qin Feng's voice is not loud, but his words are clear, and he speaks neither humble nor overbearing.

This may be due to his 260 official authority and his recent promotion to item officer, so he can do this.

A normal seventh-rank county magistrate, with an official authority of only a dozen or twenty points, would never be able to resist such a great pressure. If the magistrate yelled, his mind would probably go blank with fright.

Seeing that Qin Feng was not afraid, the magistrate frowned and sneered: "Oh? So sure? Then the government wronged you? How dare you ask me to conduct an on-site inspection?"

Qin Feng nodded: "Of course I dare."

"it is good!"

The magistrate greeted his subordinates to come over with the testing equipment.

He walked past several cars, randomly picked one in the middle, pointed to a bag of grain that was under it, and asked someone to move it out.

He asked people to open the mouth of the grain bag, and directly ordered them to scatter the grain on the ground, squatted down, and grabbed a handful from the middle.

Just looking at this series of operations, you can tell that the prefect is not a vegetarian, at least he has a way of inspecting food.

Knowing that people shoddy food, they usually put poor-quality grain underneath and bury it in the middle of the bag.

It's just that he checked for a long time, no matter the size, degree of dryness, or the degree of shelling, there is nothing wrong with the grain.

Although it was obvious that it was Chen Liang at a glance, he couldn't find any more faults.

Qin Feng waited on the side for a while, seeing the magistrate's face change several times, and then asked: "How about the magistrate? Is there no problem?"

"Hmm... Barely pass."

The magistrate said in a muffled voice, with so many people around him, he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, so he had to throw the grain in his hand on the ground viciously, and he said this.

"Then please ask the magistrate to arrange for the grain officials to count the quantity? The officials are still in a hurry to return to Ninghai County to deal with other matters."

The magistrate squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Feng. He waved his hand without saying a word, and the grain officer under him ran up to him, and pouted at him again. The grain officer immediately ordered his subordinates to start weighing and counting the grain.

The prefect, on the other hand, left the state treasury without saying hello.

Walking to the corner, the magistrate's sullen face immediately collapsed.

"Oh, how do you report this to the prince? Where did Qin Feng get so much food?"

After much deliberation, the magistrate realized that Qin Feng could only obtain so much grain from the squires.

But didn't the squire fall out with him?
How can you give Qin Feng food?What the hell does this happen?

He thought about it, if he didn't understand this matter, he would definitely be scolded to death by the eldest prince when he went back.

After all, he had just boasted about Qin Feng in front of the eldest prince just now, and then he was slapped in the face.

Have to ask.

"come here."

The magistrate greeted a servant: "You pretend to be a coolie carrying grain, and go to the people brought by the magistrate to find out how the magistrate got these grains."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

The magistrate's subordinates immediately changed their clothes and took advantage of the confusion to join the food transport team.

20 shi of grain, it takes a little effort to order all of them. This subordinate accompanied him to work for a while, and sat in front of a worker while taking a break.

"I said, your county magistrate is powerful enough, you can pay the grain before the autumn harvest? Did this grain fall from the sky?"
