Xu Changshan is affiliated with the Transportation Envoy Office of Changsha Prefecture. He is the deputy Transportation Envoy of Changsha Prefecture. He is a seventh-ranked person and is responsible for the taxation of Xiangyin County. He has been in Changsha Prefecture for more than two months. He doesn't know much about Xiangyin County, but he probably doesn't leave him.

Luokou is the county seat of Xiangyin County. It is a lush port, both food, herbs and fur, and is naturally a prosperous place.

Two months after taking root in Xiangyin County, he recruited more than a dozen innocent local officials from the county government and local governments, waiting for the arrival of the autumn harvest. This was the opportunity for him to show his magical powers.

As early as September 15th, when most of the rice fields in Xiangyin County had been harvested, in order to completely cut off the yamen's yamen's jail, he directly sent someone to pass an order, requiring each village in Xiangyin County to send five people to Luokou, but the reason was not explained.

There are 137 villages in Xiangyin County, with a total household registration of about 12,000, and a small half of the population is in Chameng. The village has at least 30,000 people.

There are five people in each village, which means that there are about six hundred people who finally arrive at Luokou, which is not too many or too few.

Xu Changshan is waiting for the arrival of the people.

"Have the orders been delivered?" he asked.

"Almost all villages in Xiangyin County have been reported. The elders (from the township) have already known it. Moreover, I have sent a caravan to pass on the message, for fear of missing and concealing the report."

The shoding on the side was about forties, with a shrewd look on his face.

"The county government office naturally cannot bear so much money. The key is that the original tax officials have hooked up with the local government, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, and plundered the people's wealth. Now we have taken away their wealth, so we naturally cannot hate us to the core. But this is the court's law, and the elders and the people are all connected with them, so we can only use a plan!"

"They dare not go too far. The inspection camp is watching! If we can't collect taxes, those inspection camps will be hungry!"

Xu Changshan was originally in the Lingnan Transportation Commission Office. He was a tax officer. As a result, he performed well and was promoted to the position of deputy Transportation Commissioner and came to Hunan. He had seen many scenes of local tyrants and officials joining each other.

In order to remove the firewood from the cauldron, he did not have the same old yamen as before, and asked the elders to collect the food, but directly sent tax officials to various villages to collect grain, with the help of the inspection camp dispatched soldiers.

Before collecting taxes, we must make the reputation of the Transportation Office yamen reach various villages and let the people know that this yamen is specialized in collecting taxes.

Therefore, each village has limited five people to spread the name of the Transportation Commission. As for the county town, it has been surveyed in the past two months, and now there are only villages.

"Is it effective for the transporter to let these mud legs come over?" asked Tak Ding.

"You are mostly locals and have never known that this method is very effective!" Xu Changshan said lightly:

"Each village lives in a group of tribes. In the village, there are all surnames and relatives. There are often few scholars and illiterate people. They often have to pay taxes for the court. They often let the villagers and the middle-aged people speak. Now that I come to me, I will definitely know how much tax the court collects. I also understand that there is no need to obey the elders and middle-aged people to pay taxes. No matter how confused they are, they know how many more food they have, which is also good."

"What if no one in some villages comes?" asked Taoding.

"Of course it's possible!" Xu Changshan said proudly:

"Those who haven't come must be some villages that don't know the king's laws or collude with local officials, so it's better for him to reveal them. These are places where we focus on handling. Let's just send people over here. Don't believe that he dares to be presumptuous?"

"Whether you come or not, they are already in my hands!"

Xu Changshan was very proud.

This time I was promoted to become the deputy fortune envoy. I stayed in Hunan for a few more years and would definitely be able to be the official fortune envoy. Then I was promoted and I was just around the corner.

Am I in charge of the government? Or do I go to the central government or the Ministry of Revenue? This is really a headache.

A few days later, the villages farthest from Luokou also sent people here. Seven or eight hundred people gathered in the entire Luokou instantly. It was a rare event in a century. Xu Changshan was very happy.

"What, there are actually 18 villages? Aren't there only 137 villages in their household registration?"

When Xu Changshan heard the report from his subordinates, he was a little confused. Why did there suddenly dozens of villages have been added? Is the household registration wrong?

"Why is this?" he asked.

"You send someone to pass on the message. If you don't send someone to come, let the inspection camp go there. In addition, the caravans are deep, so many villages in the deep mountains are afraid, so they send people here."

"Okay, very good!" Xu Changshan nodded, and there were a lot of extra taxes. He said happily:

"When these villages all remembered my names and locations, they would send someone to me and check them carefully. There would be no mistake!"

As for a tax collector like him, the more taxes he pays under the rules, the more he will naturally have, especially finding many missing Dingkous in the court, which is even more conspicuous and unreproachable.

"People go and stare at the residences of the officials in the county government. If someone goes, they will tell me, I want to see which pig's hand is that long."

"promise--"

On this side, as soon as Tian Chang arrived at Luokou, he went directly to the inspection camp and revealed his identity card. According to convention, the imperial guards were one level higher than the local government. Although he was only the commander of the inspection camp, he was on the same level as the commander of the inspection camp.

So he was greeted, had some good wine and food, and asked his doubts.

"Brother Tian, ​​you are a hero and your future will be good. We won't hide it from you. This matter was made by the Transshipment Officer. There is no danger. It will disperse within a day. You can relax!"

The commander of the inspection camp patted his chest and said loudly.

"Brother, are you also from an imperial guard?" Tian Chang looked at his comfortable appearance and listened to his bragging, and couldn't help asking.

"Of course." said the commander: "We were the head of the world before, and we didn't like fighting. Then we walked around and came here. We became the commander, taking our wife and children, and we were very happy!"

"Although we are in the local area, our food and salary are higher than you. We are filial to you on weekdays, and life is very comfortable!"

Hearing him say this, Tian Chang was instantly moved, but asked again:

"If you want to come to the place, what are the regulations?"

"The county and prefecture have set up inspection camps. There are 300 people in the prefecture, 200 people in the prefecture, 15 people in the prefecture, and 100 people in the prefecture. Our Xiangyin is rich, and there are 200 people in the prefecture, and we are not allowed to serve as the head of the prefecture."

"Xiaxian and Zhongxian are just team leaders!"
