Nine Pins Immortal Road

Chapter 612
Yingzhou City, State Shepherd's Mansion.

"Xiaguan Liang Zhaohuang, governor of Xinhai County, pay my respects to Mr. Zhou Mu!"

Liang Zhaohuang stood below and saluted respectfully to Xie Zhoumu who was sitting in the main seat above.

Xie Benqing, the governor of Yingzhou, sat on the main seat, looked at Liang Zhaohuang below, and asked in a deep voice:

"Governor Liang, what are you talking about this time?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, a few days ago, Xiaguan successfully held a trade fair in Xinhai County, and I came here today to pay the business tax."

As he spoke, he took out three gold books, presented them with both hands, and said, "This is the previous trade fair. The details of the transactions between the two parties, and the details of the business taxes collected."

"Master State Shepherd, please take a look."

Xie Zhoumu looked down at Liang Zhaohuang and nodded.

On the side, a son of the Xie family stepped forward, took the gold book presented by Liang Zhaohuang, and sent it to the first case.

Xie Zhoumu flipped through the golden book, but put it down without looking at it carefully.

Looking down at Liang Zhaohuang in a blink of an eye, he said in a deep voice, "Governor Liang, as I said before, all counties and counties in Yingzhou will be exempted from taxation for 30 years."

Below, Liang Zhaohuang cupped his hands and saluted, saying: "This is the good governance of Master Zhou Mu. On behalf of Xinhai County and the counties under the county, I thank Master Zhou Mu."

Liang Zhaohuang saluted again as he spoke, then changed the topic, and said: "However, Master Zhou Mu is sympathetic to us, but the lower officials are not people who don't know what is good or bad. Yingzhou has only been established for ten years, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. When resources are needed everywhere."

"Xiaguan was lucky enough to achieve something in Xinhai County, and voluntarily paid part of the tax to help the development of Yingzhou."

"Hehe... good!" At the top, Xiezhou Mu finally laughed, nodded slightly, and said, "Yingzhou is just established, and a thousand things are waiting to be rebuilt. Liang County guards have this heart, and Benzhou Mu knows."

"If there are a few more good officials like Liang Junshou in Yingzhou, why should Yingzhou die! Why can't Yingzhou prosper and prosper!"

Liang Zhaohuang, the Xiezhou pastor, praised one side, then changed the subject, shook his head slightly, and said, "However, the Benzhou pastor ordered that all counties and counties be exempted from taxes for 30 years, but the Benzhou pastor cannot be the one who broke his promise."

"This time, the business tax will be exempted."

"Thank you, Lord Zhou Mu!" Liang Zhaohuang didn't insist anymore, and bowed to thank him.

At the top, Xie Zhoumu nodded slightly, looked at Liang Zhaohuang, and suddenly said: "Governor Liang, as far as I know, you and Wen Yun are also fellow Taoists who have known each other for many years?"

"Exactly!" Liang Zhaohuang nodded, and said, "At the beginning in Ludong County, Mr. Wen Yun was the county magistrate, and he took good care of me and the Liang family."

"This kindness and affection, I and the Liang family will always keep in mind."

"Good! Good! Not bad..." Xie Zhoumu nodded slightly, and said: "This time, there is no need to rush back. I will let that boy Wen Yun entertain you."

"Don't dare!" Liang Zhaohuang didn't dare to say it repeatedly, and raised his voice: "Young Master Wen Yun is the benefactor of me and the Liang family, and it should be a banquet for the lower officials to entertain Young Master Wen Yun."

"Haha..." At the top, Xie Zhoumu laughed, pointed to Liang Zhaohuang, and said, "Forget it, you juniors meet on your own, and I, the older generation, don't hide my words so that you don't get annoyed."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Liang Zhaohuang repeated.

Soon after, Liang Zhaohuang bid farewell and left the state pastoral mansion.

In the lobby, Xie Zhoumu spread out the three gold books presented by Liang Zhaohuang, and took out two gold books from the side book and opened them.

It can be seen that the two newly taken out gold books, including the official two-point purchase list, are exactly the same as the two-point list of the three gold books presented by Liang Zhaohuang, almost exactly the same!

"Heh..." Xie Zhoumu looked at the gold books on both sides, laughed deeply, and said, "They are all smart people!"

"However, smart people are good! Honshu Mu likes smart people!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, put away the several golden volumes, and placed them on the side of the case.

At this moment, the Xie family's son who had been waiting by him bowed and asked, "Third Uncle, what about the Song family?"

"Heh... how do you say it?" Xie Zhoumu shook his head slightly, and said, "This Governor of Liang sent the list and tax catalog so quickly, what else can I say?"

"What's more, the counties and counties under the state are exempted from tax for 30 years. This is also the order I gave at the beginning. Don't tell me I can't live up to my words!"

"Don't dare!" The Xie family's disciple hurriedly bowed.

Xie Zhoumu looked at him in a blink of an eye, shook his head slightly, and said, "Little Nineteen, my Xie family is now a family in Yingzhou, and some of the county officials below want to make friends with us."

"It's okay for you to make friends with them and accept their filial piety."

"No! Don't dare..." The Xie family's son turned pale when he heard the words, and knelt down in the tunnel.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Xie Zhoumu's expression darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Get up!"

"Little Nineteen, as a child of my Xie family, what's wrong with accepting some filial piety from the lower levels?"

"It's not a problem!"

Xie Shijiu, who was kneeling on the ground, just stood up and looked at Xie Zhoumu with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing this, Xie Zhoumu shook his head slightly, and said, "Little Nineteen, you really should learn more from your Uncle Wen Yun."

"As a child of my Xie family, it's not a problem to make friends with the county magistrates below and receive filial piety."

"But you have to distinguish between the primary and secondary, know who is the primary and who is the secondary, and those who fawn on us, those who like and are useful, will be taken as eagle dogs, and those who don't like it will be kicked away."

"And the eagle dog is to be used by me, not to let the eagle dog use us as a knife!"

"Little Nineteen, do you understand?"

Xie Zhoumu looked at the other party and asked.

When Xie Nineteen heard the words, his face seemed to be thoughtful, and he nodded slightly.

"Then, what should the Song family do, do you understand?"

Xie Zhoumu asked again.

Xie Shijiu hesitated and said, "Take it to be an eagle dog?"

"Yeah! A child can be taught!" Xie Zhoumu lightly stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "Yingzhou was just established, so it's not stable."

"This instability is not only external, but also internal, in the counties below the state."

"A while ago, I went on a tour of the counties, although I temporarily suppressed these unstable trends."

"But pressing down is not solving."

"Among the counties, collecting some hawks and dogs will help my Xie family to monitor the counties."

As he said that, he directly ordered: "Little Nineteen, you are the one to deal with the Song family in Xinhai County."

"Yes!" Xie Shijiu immediately showed joy, cupped his hands and said, "Nineteenth will definitely not disappoint Uncle."

"Well, well, let's go down and deal with it." Xie Zhoumu nodded and waved.

"Yes, third uncle." Xie Jiu bowed and left.

Xie Zhoumu looked at Xie Shijiu's leaving figure, but showed a bit of helplessness on his face, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "Xiao Shijiu still lacks exercise. Back then, Wen Yun chose to go to a local county to serve as the county magistrate, in order to exercise itself, perhaps right."

"The Song family was taken over by the Liang family as the county guard and suppressed within a county. Although they are a bit smart, they are limited after all."

"Let Xiao Nineteen handle it, exercise, exercise."

"On the contrary, the Liang family was able to be promoted from a poor family all the way to the prefect of the prefecture in just a few decades, and even suppressed the well-prepared Song family to win the position of sheriff of Xinhai County. It is really not to be underestimated!"

"I'm afraid, only Wen Yun can suppress and master it."

Liang Zhaohuang had already left the State Shepherd's Mansion at this time, and returned to the Liang family's residence in Yingzhou City. Naturally, he didn't know the conversations and things that happened in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

After returning to the family residence and washing up, Liang Zhaohuang recruited the family's children, wrote an invitation card, and asked the family's children to send it to Xie's house with a famous stab, inviting Xie Wenyun to the banquet.

Although in the state pastoral mansion, Xie Zhoumu rejected the commercial tax with all his strength.

However, Liang Zhaohuang knew very well that this was not the end of the matter.

Otherwise, Xie Zhoumu wouldn't suddenly mention Xie Wenyun in the end and ask Xie Wenyun to entertain him.

The meaning of this is already obvious, it is for him to talk with Que and Xie Wenyun.

The benefits of trade routes between 'Baibao Pavilion' and the islands in the East China Sea are as great as can be imagined. Liang Zhaohuang knew that it would be difficult to control all of them with the strength of himself and the Liang family.

As the family of Yingzhou and the herdsman of Yingzhou, the Xie family is the immediate boss of him and the Liang family, the largest powerful family in Yingzhou, and the Xie family will always be inseparable from the benefits.

The Xie family didn't have to be busy with these trade routes, but Liang Zhaohuang had to personally deliver the benefits of the trade routes.

Otherwise, there is no need to thank the family.

Even in Xinhai County, Song Shihao and the Song family, who had always been dissatisfied with him and the Liang family, would jump up and down and cause a lot of trouble.

For Song Shihao and the Song family, although Liang Zhaohuang is confident that he can suppress them.

However, if the Song family had the support of the Xie family behind them, then Liang Zhaohuang would be powerless to suppress it.

Three days later, Liang Zhaohuang hosted a warm banquet for his old boss Xie Wenyun in the newly opened "Sande Building" not far from the Liang family's residence.

The Liang family's 'Sande Building' was also newly opened by the Liang family in Yingzhou City in the past few years.

Among them, the spiritual meal can only be made at the highest level of second-order spiritual meal.

Among the Lingshan restaurants in Yingzhou City, Liang's "Sande Building" is undoubtedly nothing, neither high-grade nor famous.

The only thing that can be considered reasonable is that this 'Sande Building' is the Liang family's own property. To invite Xie Wenyun here will show more sincerity and sincerity.

And in this banquet, Liang Zhaohuang and Xie Wenyun had a good chat.

Liang Zhaohuang thanked Xie Wenyun many times for taking care of him and the Liang family when they were in Ludong County.

Xie Wenyun also raised his glass to thank the Liang family for their human support for his development in the East China Sea.

After recalling the past, the topic gradually turned to the main topic.

Speaking of the current situation between the Xian Dynasty and the East China Sea, and the differences in the trade routes between the two sides.

Finally, let's talk about Liang Zhaohuang's previous transactions in Xinhai County.

Xie Wenyun praised Liang Zhaohuang's move a lot, and Liang Zhaohuang was humble again, and then offered benefits.

This time, at the banquet, Xie Wenyun did not refuse.

The two sides tried a few words calmly, and quickly settled on the interests of the Xie family in the trade route.

Moreover, Xie Wenyun requested that when the Xie family needs spiritual objects and materials, they can give priority to purchasing from both parties in the transaction.

Liang Zhaohuang could only agree to this.

For a banquet, the host and guest went away happily.

Liang Zhaohuang breathed a sigh of relief when Xie's family was settled.

In this way, there is no problem here in Yingzhou, and the next step is to see how many business routes Aunt Liu can bring in, and whether he and the Liang family can keep these business routes under control!
