After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 261 The Sky of Shanyin Really Has the Surname of Si
As soon as Zhao Heng's voice changed, everyone was caught off guard, even Lu Wanzhi believed that Zhao Heng wanted to call Si Yan brothers and sisters, after all, he always thought about it.

Seeing Zhao Heng's words now, Lu Wanzhi was a little startled.

Si Yan said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, if you pay taxes every year, you will never dare to evade taxes!"

Zhao Heng said coldly: "Are you stupid to be the king of this county? The king of this county gave you a three-day deadline. I don't care about the taxes five years ago. You will get a lot of taxes in the past five years." Give it to me!"

Si Yan said: "Your Majesty, our Si family pays taxes every year. There is an account book that records it in detail. You can check the account book. In the past three years, the county magistrate of Shanyin corrupted and handed over our Si family property to the imperial court. Taxes are all gone.”

Zhao Heng said: "Then you just ask someone to bring over the ledger right now!"

Si Yanlian signaled his men to go down to get the account book, "Little Junwang, the account book still needs some work, let's drink first, the wine in Yuezhou City is a must, and you must seldom drink it in Chang'an."

Zhao Heng said: "You don't have to drink, Jiang Li, you watch Si Yan here, Zhi Zhi and I went boating on Jianhu Lake."

Si Yan frowned slightly, did the little county king really want to check taxes, or did he come to play around?
Zhao Heng took Lu Wanzhi's hand and went down, seeing many boats tied to the shore, Zhao Heng rented a boat after some inquiries.

Lu Wanzhi took Zhao Heng's hand, entered the boat and said, "You know I'm seasick, but you still bring me to row?"

Zhao Heng said: "You won't get dizzy after paddling in this lake for a while. We practiced dragon boats in the lake at this time last year. I don't know if Tsinglan Academy can win the dragon boat race this year."

After sitting firmly on the boat, Lu Wanzhi said: "Zhao Heng, you are too anxious this time, you just came to Shanyin City on the first day, and you have to force Si Yan to pay taxes, and ask him to spit out the taxes he owed in the past five years. Certainly not willingly!
Besides, the Si family is the head snake in Yuezhou, so if Lu Yifang dares to say that she is a god in Yuezhou, the Si family must be capable. "

Zhao Heng said: "I just want to catch them off guard, the king of this county doesn't believe that they dare to take your life!"

Lu Wanzhi smiled, yes, the Si family didn't dare to take their lives, so Zhao Heng can go as he pleases.

Zhao Heng admired the beautiful mountains and rivers here and said: "Such a large lake seems to be full of mud flats over there. If it can be filled up as arable land, that would be great. There are a lot of people in the shade of the mountain, and the arable land is real. shortage."

Lu Wanzhi was surprised: "Fill the lake?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "Well, fill up the tidal flat over there and use it as arable land for rice crops, and you can get an extra [-] mu of land."

Lu Wanzhi stood up and looked in the direction Zhao Heng pointed, and really said, "If you can fill up the tidal flats for farming, it will indeed be a blessing for future generations, but if you want to fill the lake for farming, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

Zhao Heng said: "This matter can be discussed in the long run."

Lu Wanzhi got seasick after all, so she didn't stay on the boat for long, when she landed, she saw many old women on both sides selling purple-red fruits, baskets made of bamboo.

Zhao Heng felt strange and said, "What is this?"

Seeing Zhao Heng, the old woman praised: "What a handsome young gentleman, this is a red bayberry fruit, try one..."

Zhao Heng picked up a fruit, put it in his mouth without disdain, his eyes lit up as soon as he bit it, he even gave Lu Wanzhi the half-eaten bayberry he had eaten, and said, "Try it."

Lu Wanzhi frowned lightly and said, "You let me eat what you left?"

Zhao Heng said: "What's the matter? Don't I often eat your leftovers? This is called diligence and thrift. As the magistrate of Shanyin County, you should not waste it."

Lu Wanzhi begged for a new fruit from the old woman, and once she bit it, she frowned, "It's delicious."

Zhao Heng said: "How many baskets is this?"

"A penny a basket."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng opened his eyes wide and said, "One coin and one basket, what about stealing money?"

The old woman sighed and said: "My lord, you see that there are mountains all around you. There are many rich and noble people in the Yin city, and everything is expensive, but the life of the common people and farmers here is very sad, and they all rely on the mountains. These a few bayberry live.

My youngest son also fell off a tree and broke his leg this year in order to pick red bayberries. People here die from fruit trees every year. He was thinking of selling more red bayberries for my son to heal his legs. "

Hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn't bear to say: "Isn't your accent from Yuezhou?"

"Old lady, I came from Xiangzhou City. The Yue people are not good at loom weaving. Women from the north of the river come all the way to do loom work. There are many cloth merchants here. When you are young, you can earn money by loom weaving." Silver taels.

But after more than 30 years old, when the grandson is born, the cloth merchant will no longer want us female workers. Although the old man and I have earned some silver taels, but after pulling the eldest three sons and building houses for them, it is not enough to go back to our hometown up.

Poorly, there is also a youngest son who has not married and established a business. He has planted dozens of fruit trees on this mountain. He was supposed to marry him, but who knows...and his leg was broken. "

Zhao Heng took out a tael of silver from his purse and said, "I want all the red bayberries in your basket."

Several old women at the side heard Zhao Heng's words and came forward one after another. Zhao Heng couldn't understand what these old women said, but he also knew that they were pitiful, so he bought all the bayberries with a big wave of his hand.

Lu Wanzhi asked Zhao Heng, "You bought so much, can we finish eating?"

Zhao Heng said: "Isn't this the fleet that will arrive tomorrow or the next day? There will be a lot of people at that time, if it is impossible, they can be sent to Mingzhou to comfort the army."

Lu Wanzhi said: "I see that the fruit seems very delicate, why not order someone to send it to Mingzhou as a condolence right now, we just keep a basket here."

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "Then as you said, Chang Sheng, you find someone to send to Mingzhou."

When the two returned to the restaurant, Si Yan's subordinates had already brought the tax ledger, "The county prince has a look."

Zhao Heng flipped through the account book and said, "Si Yan, are you stupid to be the king of this county? You dare to fool the king of this county with such a fake account book?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng curiously. Zhao Heng is good at arithmetic and has a photographic memory, but he still doesn't seem to understand the account book, right?
Si Yan was also surprised that Zhao Heng had such abilities.

Zhao Heng patted the table and said: "Si Yan, the king of this county wants to give you three days to hand over the real account book and the owed taxes for the sake of you and I having no mother since childhood and hating the old man at home. Yes, don't let the king of this county use Mingzhou's army."

Si Yan didn't take Zhao Heng's words to heart, Lu Teng was not afraid of chasing him for the past three years, so he didn't believe that Zhao Heng dared to use the army to investigate the accounts?
Would Emperor Jing Yuan of Chang'an allow Zhao Heng to mess around like this?
In the sky of Shanyin, the surname is really Si. Zhao Heng is a fluffy dude king who underestimates Si's family and Yuezhou too.

Seeing Si Yan's expression, Lu Wanzhi's heart beat a little.

It seems that it is not easy to set off the first fire for the new official of Zhao County.
