The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 444
These gentry themselves were both landlords and wealthy businessmen.

Now that the imperial court is focused on implementing the New Deal, regardless of whether it can be successfully implemented nationwide, at least in Huating County, it will definitely be implemented to the end.

Anyway, sooner or later, he would have to suffer this knife. Now that he has the opportunity to choose where to suffer, he will also benefit from it. For the gentry in Huating County, it must be acceptable.

But Xu Tan didn't think so.

The Xu family has a big business, unlike ordinary aristocratic families.

Whether it is clearing the land or changing the commercial tax, it will have a great impact on the Xu family.

"Well, what are you thinking about?"

Wang Shouren said calmly.The situation was under his control from the beginning to the end, and Xu Tan's generation was just a sparrow in his eyes.

Wu Zhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed and said: "I'm afraid the county lord is joking. Even if the commercial tax system is reformed, it is up to the imperial court to reform. If Wu said something disrespectful, the capital will come down with a paper, and the adults can still bargain. ?”

Hiss, what a vicious counterattack!

It is said that beating people does not slap people in the face, but this time Wu Zhan wanted to slap Wang Xianzun in the face severely.

After all, the county magistrate is only a low-rank official, even if he blows out flowers, it can't make up for the defect of low rank.

It is really difficult to make these gentry fully believe in the guarantee of a county magistrate.

The gentry just now were overwhelmed by Wang Shouren's aura, so they didn't react.But now that they were reminded by Wu Zhan, Fang had come to his senses, and the secret channel was so dangerous that Wang Shouren almost put them together.

Wang Shouren looked at Wu Zhan like an idiot with his hands behind his back.

This made Wu Zhan very embarrassed, did he say something wrong, why did Wang Shouren keep looking at him like this.
"Of course I can assure you."

Wang Shouren's eyes were like a torch, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He paused every word and said: "Because I have received the emperor's order, and I am fully responsible for the implementation of the New Deal. Small matters are decisive, and major matters can be directly written and submitted to His Majesty. Does Wu Yuanwai think that this official has said enough?"

Silence, deathly silence!

Everyone looked at Wu Zhan with sympathy. This Wu Yuanwai smarter made such a serious mistake.

From this point of view, Wang Shouren is not only the county magistrate of Huating, but also an imperial envoy.

Isn't Wu Zhan courting death for contradicting the imperial envoy?
What's more, Wu Zhan also ridiculed and questioned that Wang Shouren can't be the master. Isn't this saying that the emperor can't be the master?
If Wang Shouren wanted to punish him, he could ask the scribe to write down this sentence, and then Wu Zhan would be in great trouble.

"County, county respect."

Wu Zhan also sensed that the situation was not good, and quickly tried to get back.

But he found that the words he said were so harsh that it was difficult to find a suitable reason.

"Since Wu Yuanwai has no intention of participating in the business tax reform, the county will not force it. However, Wu Yuanwai has to cooperate in the matter of clearing up the farmland."

Wu Zhan's complexion was as pale as frost.

With just one sentence from Wang Shouren, he lost the most important right to speak, but he couldn't fight back yet.Because the opponent is an imperial envoy, if they fight back, it is tantamount to fighting back against the emperor.

Xu Tan on the side thought it was dangerous.If he was the one who came out just now, he might end up in the same fate as Wu Zhan.

Of course, Wang Shouren also gave Wu Zhan face, and didn't directly take Wu Zhan down, but the effect of this slap in the face was enough.

In soft words, Wang Shouren tidied up the local gentry obediently, which really made people feel emotional.

Those small and medium-sized gentry no longer dared to confront Wang Shouren, even Wu Zhan and Xu Tan had no choice but to shrink their heads.

Wang Shouren is naturally satisfied with the effect of a banquet.

After the drinking was over, he left the county government office and went straight to the government office.

At this time, Zhao Ji, the prefect of Songjiang, was listening to Jiang Linger, the top player of Yajunju, playing in Houya. Hearing that Huating county magistrate Wang Shouren came to visit him, his complexion changed drastically.

Although the world has been extravagant since Hongzhi, it is not uncommon for officials to have sex with prostitutes.But that is indecent after all, and should not be put on the bright side.

Jiang Ling'er saw the embarrassment on the Fu Zun's face, she giggled and said: "If the boss is on business, Nu Nu will leave first."

"Ah."

Although Zhao Ji was very reluctant, he had to let Jiang Linger leave first.

According to what he knew about Wang Shouren, this person had no eyes for rubbing sand. If he saw an oiran appearing in the backyard of the government office, he didn't know what disturbance would be caused.

Jiang Ling'er turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Ji.

"Wait! Go through the back door!"

After Jiang Ling'er left, Zhao Ji secretly sighed what evil he had done to attract such a broom star.

According to his Beijing-China relationship, Wang Shouren came to Huating County this time as an imperial envoy.This time, Wang Shouren, the county magistrate, had more say than Zhao Ji, the magistrate.

Other magistrates always boss around the county magistrate, but fortunately, he can't say harsh words to Wang Shouren, and wants to completely delegate power, which is really useless.

But so what.The most important thing to offend in this officialdom is the imperial envoy, otherwise if a memorandum is submitted, it will be a small thing to lose your black yarn, but it will be a big thing to lose your head.

Zhao Ji didn't want to get into trouble at this juncture, so let's bear with it.

But Wang Shouren walked into the backyard of the government office and saw Zhao Ji sitting at a stone table under an old locust tree, so he walked over.

"The next official pays homage to the Fu Zun."

Zhao Ji thought to himself, little ancestor, don't call me an official.

"Shouren, didn't we agree to be called brothers? You're out of touch now."

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Brother Hui!"

Wang Shouren was not hypocritical, and immediately changed his words.

"Brother Hui is very elegant. There is wine and food here, but I don't know who to drink with."

Seeing that the stone table was full of wine and vegetables, and there were even two sets of wine utensils, Wang Shouren said this.

"Haha, nothing can escape Shouren's eyes. To be honest, Brother Yu is waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

Wang Shouren asked very puzzled: "Why did brother Hui wait for me?"

Zhao Ji groaned in his heart, but he had no choice but to say calmly: "Shouren is busy implementing the new policy, and if there is a result, I'm afraid I will discuss it with Brother Yu."

"Brother Hui is really good at predicting things!"

Wang Shouren said with emotion: "I just held a banquet at the county government office and invited the local gentry to the banquet. During the banquet, I beat them a little. Now it seems that the effect is not bad. I came this time to ask for advice. Brother Fanhui, what should we do next?"

Zhao Ji almost rolled his eyes.

You have invited everyone, and your prestige is shaking, so why come to ask for advice?This is obviously to cut first and play later!

However, he had to suppress his temper and said in a harmonious voice: "Shouren, you have only dealt with these gentlemen for a short time, and I'm afraid you don't know much about their temperament. It’s worse than a fart. If you want to feel at ease, you still have to ask them to make a written statement.”
