There is a hall in Wangchun Building, which has a high platform, and women often perform talents on the high platform.
The prostitutes below the high stage drank and listened to music, commented on the women on the stage, and occasionally rewarded them with a few taels of money.
Naturally, there are also some generous ones, with a reward of tens of taels or hundreds of taels at a time, and the women on the stage will come down to toast and perform.
The prostitutes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all bought by human traffickers since they were young, and put together after rigorous training, each of them was versatile.
They are proficient in playing, playing, playing and singing, they can be dignified, they can be dissolute, they can be like a lady from a big family, or like a jadeite from a small family.
It's not at the same level as those who become monks halfway to make money, sell themselves instead of performing arts, and only urge customers to hurry up.
Nalaisan has been taken into a single room by a woman.
Zhang He originally thought that the work would be over soon, so he waited for a long time at the door, but he was still listening to the music inside.
What's so good about this, it's better to watch monkeys.
Waiting around was boring, he used the invisibility technique anyway, so he wandered around in the Wangchun Building, looking left and right, it was interesting at first, but after watching too much, it was just the same thing, boring.
After another two or three hours, this group of talents finished their tossing, and walked out of the room one by one with satisfaction.
Even the hero of Five Seconds, under the performance and flattery of whores, also feels that he is very powerful.
At the gate of Wangchun Tower, the group of people with red faces praised each other for a while, and then waved goodbye.
The purpose of Zhang He's following was naturally to find out why the gang of thieves targeted his warehouse. Is it a coincidence or instigated by others?
It's just that there are too many people along the way, and the sound insulation in the Wangchun Building is too poor. It has been inconvenient to start, so I can only follow behind and wait for the right time.
Lai San seemed to be the highest among the captured thieves, so Zhang He followed him into a compound.
This is a courtyard with three entrances. It is very spacious and there are many houses. There are many servants coming and going. It is much richer than the original Wanjia.
Zhang He followed for a long time,
Just as he was about to start, another servant rushed to report.
Master, Master He is here, waiting for you in the living room.
It seems that the old man He who came here is of high status, Lai Laosan hurriedly went to the living room when he heard the words, Zhang He naturally followed behind.
Lao San, I'm very disappointed that you did this. You didn't get it done, but you were arrested instead! I have to ask someone to save you.
When Mr. He saw Lai Laosan, the first thing he did was to scold Lai Laosan, which made Lai Laosan lose his temper at all.
This time it was purely capsized in the gutter, don't worry, I will help you get rid of that warehouse.
No, you'll stay at home these few days, so don't go there, don't show up. The owner of that warehouse has already arrived, and you can't afford to provoke him.
This Mr. He waved his hand, said no more, then got up and left. Lai Laosan accompanied him with a smiling face and walked to the gate.
The mastermind behind the scenes was found here, so Zhang He temporarily gave up Lai Laosan and followed Master He quietly.
He has changed his mind, and he doesn't plan to startle the snake for the time being. He will dig out the secrets behind the scenes with this Mr. He.
Of course, he can also use violent means and torture.
However, the news obtained in this way may not be reliable, because he doesn't know any of these people, and he doesn't know why he has to deal with him.
Under torture, even if someone made up a random reason and gave him a piece of fake news, he couldn't tell it apart.
So Zhang He followed this Master He for three days. After three days, he finally figured out all the ins and outs.
The grievance of this matter stems from the fact that he suppressed the bandits along the road from Heishui Town to Dehua City, cutting off many people's money.
After several years of preparation and recruitment, recently they are planning to return to their old business and set up a few bandit charging stations, fearing that Zhang He will come to suppress them.
So the force behind it wanted to retaliate, trying to make Zhang He unable to pay taxes and offend the City Lord's Mansion, but they were afraid of Zhang He's strength and dared not show up.
So he came up with such a bad idea, who knew that these newly recruited people were all useless people, and they never hit anyone in a sneak attack in the middle of the night, but they were caught alive instead.
After Zhang He found out the detailed information, he used the invisibility technique to sneak into the behind-the-scenes companies, set fire to them, and stole some silver taels.
He only killed a few people with no background, which was regarded as a warning. He didn't dare to make too much noise in this regard, because behind this he also saw the shadow of the Guliang family.
If it really makes a big deal, it will be against the Guliang family, which is not a wise move.
At this time, Zhang He appeared in a hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and an old man on the opposite side casually flipped through the ledger.
After a long time, he picked up the tea at the table and took a sip, then raised his drooping eyelids and looked at Zhang He.
This year's tax in Heishui Town will increase by 1 million catties of grain.
why?
Zhang He was a little annoyed, and he added a whole million catties of grain with this opening.
His grain did not fall from the sky, but was harvested from the tenants through hard work.
The grain of the tenants is dug out from the ground and squeezed out through the teeth every day, with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.
You don't know it yourself?
Zhang He was startled, could it be that the sweet potato base in Qifeng Mountain was discovered?
Immediately he felt that it was impossible, if the City Lord's Mansion knew about the sweet potato base in Qifeng Mountain, how could it be possible to only accept 1 million catties of grain and settle the matter.
Please tell me senior.
Although Zhang He was very dissatisfied, he could only ask calmly, not daring to be rude.
The original cultivated land in Heishui Town was registered as 57,000 mu. In the past few years, you have reclaimed 20,000 to 30,000 mu of wasteland. Now the total cultivated land has more than 80,000 mu. Only 1 million catties of grain will be collected, which is already cheap for you.
This...does this count?
He paid so much in the early stage, paid money and food, worked hard to reclaim these cultivated lands, and now he has just received a little return, and he has not yet paid back his capital, and was blown away by the city lord's mansion.
Why not! Everything in the entire Heishui Town belongs to the Guliang family, even a piece of wasteland, a piece of rock, and a smelly ditch all belong to the Guliang family.
Including every ray of sunshine you shine in Heishui Town, every sip of southeast and northwest wind you drink is the grace of the Guliang family.
If you feel dissatisfied, you can leave Heishui Town. There are a lot of people willing to run Heishui Town.
Zhang He was speechless, and could only nod and bow, expressing that he would pay all the taxes in time.
According to the decree of the town owner of Heishui Town, if the tax cannot be paid in time, the land jurisdiction of the township landlord will be taken back.
In order to collect taxes in time every year, the implementation of this decree is extremely strict.
When the landlord loses the jurisdiction over the land, he will have nothing, and after the land is empty, he can only be reduced to a tenant farmer.
Therefore, even if it is a disaster year, all localities dare not default on arrears, and this pressure will naturally be passed down to the tenant farmers.
Zhang He faintly felt that someone should have taken a fancy to the land in Heishui Town.
