Chapter 207 Can't have everything

"The county town has always been inconvenient to eat salt. I feel uneasy about this. This time I think about it, I have to solve this problem. I can't let the villagers eat the dark official salt again!"

"Mr. Qin is really righteous. The salt goods eaten by everyone in the county are of inferior quality and high price. Class 6 and Class 3 and everyone are thinking about getting it back but can't do it. It's great that Mr. Qin is willing to take care of it. This matter will definitely be properly resolved!"

"Mr. Qin even though he ordered, no matter who doesn't listen, he doesn't have to speak. I, Gao, will never finish it with him!"

When everyone was asked about the topic of salt administration, everyone was full of gratitude. The head of the high school class in the fast class patted his chest and expressed his opinion that those who could have seats in this inner hall were the sixth room Jingcheng. Guan Nian had to stand by, and the head of the third class and the deputy head of the second class were also standing.

Although he said hello in advance and said that there were seats outside and everyone went out to have tea and rest, no one wanted to leave, even if they were rubbing and listening.

Originally, it was just a polite exchange that Qin Juren accepted everyone's congratulations, but it turned out to be a collegial situation before lunch was reached. The powerful leaders in the yamen gathered, and four gentry inside and outside the county town were also present. Even the Liu family, who deliberately kept a distance, sent a housekeeper. Although everyone disliked the Liu family's airs, they still gave him a standing position in the house.

Zhu Da was standing behind Qin Chuan, with Zhou Qingyun and Li He outside taking care of him, so he didn't have to worry too much, and Zhu Da was more interested in the content of the collegial discussion in the house, and the more he listened, the more interesting it became.

Everyone is righteous and polite, and they are all polite to plead for the people. They speak of righteousness. Whether they are officials or local gentry, what they say is private salt, which is strictly prohibited in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It is private salt that must be beheaded if a pound of people sells.

It is really awkward to say that illegal activities are so openly and righteous. What is even more ironic is that in a sense, they are really seeking benefits for the people of the county, because the so-called salt in the official channel is indeed of inferior quality and high price. The salt goods sold are not as good as sand and soil. Those who buy and use food are all poor families, and those above ordinary people eat good quality private salt. This is not an exception in Huairen County, but the rules of all prefectures and counties in the world.

But there is something different from other places in Huairen County, that is, the head is light and the feet are heavy. The county towns are located in the economic center. The economic center of Huairen County and Datong Zuowei is Zheng Jiaji. Since Yang Xiong and Qin Chuan participated in the private salt, the county town has not been integrated with it. The buying and selling private salt is often two floors longer than normal procedures, so the quality is lower and the price is higher. All parties in the county town can do nothing and can only swallow their anger.

I won’t talk about Wang Fa’s matter. The reason for the inconvenience of eating salt in the county town and the low quality and high price is that the juren in front of me is talking as usual, as if many things have never happened before. Such a skin and cultivation amazed Zhu Da.

"In and outside this county, there is also the nearby Datong Zuowei in the entire county. The rules on salt affairs must be established first. I have a saying that before, anyone who wants to ignore the overall situation for personal gain will never be polite to him. Everyone knows the salt affairs that I was in charge of salt affairs back then, and everyone knows the methods of doing things. Don't complain at the end of the day and don't make any complaints!" Qin Chuan said a few words with a stern expression.

Everyone nodded again. Since the Tartars invaded and plundered the local area, the Zheng family was destroyed, and many villages in the local area were greatly damaged. Many rules for many things need to be rebuilt, including various activities. Now the county towns in the county are the real center. Whoever participates in the rules can benefit and make a fortune.

In the past, no one in the county who was qualified to do this could convince everyone. The magistrate would not stay for too long, so he would not participate. Even if he participated, he would not be trusted. Fang Ming was too greedy and everyone was worried that his own interests would not be guaranteed. As for Zhou Gui, he was too soft and he was unwilling to rush forward in many things and had no responsibility. Moreover, although Liu Fang Jingcheng was a personal figure in the county, his power and status were not enough. If the magistrate Ai Zhengwen wanted to take action, everyone would really not be able to stop him.

No one is really a fool. County Magistrate Ai was not involved in anything, but everyone could see the attempt to kill fat pigs very clearly. The officials and servants have been passed down from generation to generation. After so many chief officials have experienced it, everyone has seen more and there are not many new things.

So after a while, Qin Juren was the most suitable candidate. The Juren was valuable enough, he was a local native, and had been in charge of private salt matters. It was the most appropriate for him to preside over the presidency. Everyone had heard of Qin Chuan's character. Such young people with great ambitions and skilledness would not treat everyone unfairly. After all, young Juren still has lofty ambitions and would not be too greedy.

Thinking about what everyone can get in private salt, everyone is subconsciously excited. Besides, Qin Juren also drew a cake in addition to Huairen County. If the private salt of Datong Zuowei can also be taken over, it would be an extra dollar out of thin air and everyone can benefit from it.

Everyone has a sincere supportive attitude, everyone has to participate with all their strength, and Qin Chuan has also acted as if he needs everyone's help to accomplish things. From time to time, some people look at Zhu Da. The young man has a polite smile on his face, but everyone always feels that it is a sarcastic sneer.

In fact, they were thinking just right. Zhu Da was always adjusting his smile to make his smile less ridiculous. No matter how harmonious the atmosphere was, it could not change the fact that Qin Juren could completely put aside the participation and support of powerful figures such as Huairen County and do it themselves, and could do it very well, because Qin Juren and Zhu Da, no matter whether it is power in fame or fame or martial arts, no matter how strong the parties in the county have the ability to resist. In the face of such a situation, everyone will naturally support and support them wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, why should a person without a family or background outside the city gate participate? Even if he passes the imperial examination, everyone will have to talk about it. There is no such absolute control as to eat it and eat it and take it with you if you are willing to take it with you.

"The salt goods business is not only salt goods, but also involves all aspects. In order to make the salt goods business smooth, all aspects have to be straightened out. I believe there are many people who are unwilling to help. I am going to touch it and say hello in advance."

Qin Juren said this, and the response below was not so enthusiastic. Several older Jingcheng looked unmoved, while others had different expressions, mainly because Qin Chuan's words meant that everyone could control them and he would be assigned to them in the center.

This salt is made out of nothing. Everyone can't get enough of it. It's like taking out a new situation and everyone will distribute it. It's all profitable no matter how much it is. However, although other businesses do not make money from salt, everyone in this hall has already divided it up. You are a little bit by bit, and I am a little bit by bit. This redistribution must be more or less. No matter how you divide it, you must have a big portion when you participate in it. No matter how you say it's less.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. The income from more salt is easy to say, but it can only be more, not less. While everyone was hesitating, they saw the smile on Zhu Da's face disappearing and glanced coldly. In this moment, everyone in the hall immediately supported Qin Chuan from the bottom of their hearts and said, "Many rules in this county are in chaos, and there must be a master to make some tidy up, but I am afraid that Master Qin will work hard." He has to scold County Magistrate Ai for his misconduct, and Fang Ming and Yang Shouwen's evil deeds.

When Zhu Da was scanning, everyone immediately understood that it was the parents who killed the parents. If they did not agree, this young master would kill the whole family. Such a weighing matter was easy to conclude. Then someone noticed that the smile on Qin Chuan's face remained unchanged, and he seemed not angry at the hesitation of the people just now. He immediately understood that the young master killed someone with a knife. Now that the master is going to destroy anyone, no one needs to do it himself. Even without Zhu Da's fierce god, the government can act like a government. Although everyone seems to be in the same position now, Master Qin said, how many people are willing to serve in front of him, maybe a few people in the hall will be rushing in front of him. Although Qin Chuan takes fewer people, if the one in the hall is cleaned up, everyone will have a lot of money. Others don't know that, but everyone knows that the ruthless geese are plucking their hair...

After saying this, the room was quiet for a moment, and the familiar exchanged eyes, and some people lowered their heads to ponder. This new juren was indeed a down-to-earth and smart character. The private salt business was really not in vain. Everyone felt nervous about what they had to do next, and they had no ability to resist, which was really uncomfortable.

Zhou Gui, the house sitting on Qin Chuan's left hand, looked at the people in the house with different expressions, then looked at Qin Chuan, who was smiling and relaxed, and Zhu Da, who was standing with his hands behind his back. His eyes turned and raised his voice slightly, "Master Qin, the grain tax in our county is also messy, and he is doing things in a difficult time every year, and he has to ask someone to come and host. Master Qin is proficient in practice, and I think Master Qin should treat this grain tax the same as salt matters."

After saying this, someone in the room exclaimed in disregard of dignity. Everyone in the room of the three classes and six rooms looked at Zhou Gui. Everyone looked incredible and hated. This food tax was the biggest source of wealth for the officials and the most important source of wealth. Qin Juren himself didn't speak up. Why did you take the initiative to mention it? Fang Ming was too greedy and could not be the chief of Huairen's official service. I thought you, Zhou Gui, could take responsibility, but now you look like a fool and not trustworthy.

But even though we gritted our teeth, we were helpless. Now it was not that everyone was willing to give it to us, but whether Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhu wanted it. You couldn't stop what you wanted. After thinking about it, many people were a little desperate.

When Zhou Jingcheng spoke up, Zhu Da and Qin Chuan looked at each other. They subconsciously thought that Zhou Jingcheng was ridiculed, but Zhou Jingcheng looked sincere and without any falsehood. At first glance, it was a sincere request.

Zhu Da smiled, Qin Chuan smiled, Qin Chuan laughed loudly, laughed out loud!
