Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

"My lord, I have not been very familiar with these things since I took office not long ago, so please teach me."

The prefect took a sip of hot tea, and made a show of flirting with the person who brought it. The person handed a scroll to Yun Yun, "Look at the above, and study hard."

Yun Yun opened the scroll and looked at the contents word by word. The more she looked at it, the more ugly her face became. "My lord, what do you mean?"

The prefect put the teacup on the table with a bang, "What do you mean, this is the meaning!"

On the scroll are the exchanges between the county magistrates of Qingzhou and the state capital. It records the year, month, and day when the tax will be increased to the state capital, but the year, month, and day will be paid by the local government. On the surface, it sounds nice that it is for Qingzhou City. In fact, this is an indirect way to let the county magistrate collect money from the people to bribe the officials above.

Yun Yun pretended not to understand and said, "My lord, you also know that the famine just passed last year in Baiyang, and now there is just enough food to eat. If more taxes are collected, the people will be miserable. Besides, the tax regulations of the court have always been strict. Put it there, and the lower officials are not easy to disobey it."

"So you don't want to increase taxes?" the prefect asked lazily.

This is what Yun Yun is most afraid of. If a person is in a bad mood and thinks that he is not respectful of his career, the black hat will fall off immediately, "My lord, this is not what I mean by being an official. How can I not do what other county governments do? Isn't he a weirdo, I just want you to take it easy."

"It's good that you know, but slowly don't think about it. No matter how poor or poor other counties are, I haven't heard of anyone who can't pay taxes. It's impossible for this official to treat you differently."

This old cunning man also speaks in the same way, so Yun Yun had no choice but to take out the hat of the imperial court, "My lord, this matter has something to do with the imperial court. When I was in the capital, I never heard of such a thing."

The prefect scolded, "When you were in the capital, you were just a blind boy. Is it possible for an official to know this kind of thing? You don't have to think about going to the court to question this matter. All officials in the Great Northern Dynasty followed this law. "

Yun Yun kept apologizing, but she scolded the court and local officials a dozen times in her heart. These people are really as dissatisfied as gluttonous people. The people in the capital are not satisfied, and the people in the local area are not satisfied. They always search the people in different ways. Money on your body. "Then the official is really lacking in talent and learning, and he doesn't even know this."

Seeing Yun Yun, the prefect quickly agreed to the matter, and the unhappiness when he came disappeared immediately. There is a war in the south, and it is not necessarily a certainty who wins and who loses. The emperor's health has been worsening day by day in the past two years. I don't know what will happen when the new emperor ascends the throne, so make a fortune now and save all the money for the future.

"Since everything has been agreed, in my opinion, you should quickly convey the news. As for the people, hurry up and pay this tax. It will be convenient. I will stay here for a few days. If you collect it, It’s also convenient for me to bring it back to Qingzhou.”

This old fox had always thought about this in his heart. When he came, he would have nothing to worry about, and when he left, he would take real money with him.The more complacent he is, the more unwilling Yun Yun is to let him succeed, and he has to find a way to deal with it.

"My lord, what you said is very reasonable. I will inform others to do it right away, so you don't have to worry about it."

When the eunuch heard that the matter was over, the smile on his face couldn't stop. After Yun Yun withdrew, he said to the master who brought him, "I thought it was a hard nut to crack, and I can compromise with just a few strong words. Er Er, I don't know who I learned from before that kind of honesty."

The master felt that this Yun Yun was not as simple as it seemed. He had never shown any embarrassment when he clearly said to pay the money just now, which had never happened before.Greedy people all want more for themselves, and no one will think about others.

"My lord, let's be careful. The court doesn't know about your private collection of taxes. What if this Yun Yun spreads the news?"

"So what if it's passed on? It's the same with important officials of the court. I'm nothing compared to those people. Don't think too much about it. As long as he collects the money, we'll take it away and we'll be done. I need to find some time to come here." Come on, honest officials, it’s unnecessary.”

The master always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell, so he had to give up.

Yun Yun went back to the room and quickly made plans in her head. The real money was collected in boxes. He would not really collect the money, but he had to make the eunuch think he did.

When Mrs. Meng heard the county magistrate calling her, she put down her work and hurried to go. "My lord, what do you want from me?"

"Sister-in-law Meng, is your hometown the farthest from this Baiyang City? It seems to be on the border."

"My lord, we are indeed far away from here."

Yun Yun needed something like this, so he asked immediately, "Then is there someone who can stack gold ingots?"

"Your Excellency, are you talking about paper for the dead?"

"Yes, it's the kind of gold ingot and silver ingot."

"These are common things that are commonly used in grave visits, and basically every household can do them."

Yun Yun had a plan in mind, "It will be the anniversary of my parents' death in a few days. There are gold ingots sold in this county, but it's a bit perfunctory to buy them directly. Since there are so many people in your hometown If you want to do it, why don’t I send someone to invite them over and do it in the county government, so that I can follow suit, it’s more sincere.”

There is a matter of making gold ingots for parents to worship, but now the eunuch is not living in the mansion, so it may be a little unlucky.

"My lord, it would be a bit hasty to do it now."

"Don't be in a hurry. My parents didn't fulfill their filial piety when they were alive. Now that I'm an official, I burn paper money to go to the land, so that they can know that their children are promising and can rest in peace in the underworld."

Mrs. Meng was really moved by her lord's sincerity, and quickly agreed.

"Tell me which people in your hometown are doing better, make a list, and ask ** to bring people here, and say that the matter is urgent, and the sooner the better."

After Mrs. Meng went out, Yun Yun began to write and draw something on the paper. Although this action was disrespectful, he did it voluntarily. Even if he took off the black gauze hat, he had to do it vigorously.

"My lord, Mr. Cheng has sent you a letter," said the boy outside.

Yun Yun put down the pen and paper, dried the paper and stuffed it into the cabinet, and took the letter from the servant.

"I love Ah Yun, how are you doing recently? Your Highness went to the capital with some urgent business with Mr. Feng, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. I'm in charge of the overall situation here. I can think of you from time to time. I'm afraid I'm not used to being alone. South The battle is heavy, and we cannot take it lightly for a moment, the war strategy has been planned, Qingzhou is very stable and will not be affected.”

A few simple lines of words, but it explained everything very clearly. After reading it, Yun Yun put it away, wrote back earnestly, and told Cheng Mu her plan.
