Zheng Conghu's pride was palpable. He was the second eldest son of the Zheng family, with an elder brother and a younger brother. He was not that upbeat, so he naturally had no status in the family. But if he had copper in his waist, and there was quite a lot of it, That's different.
Power, money will bring you power, and power will bring you power. When Li Shimin was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was not necessarily easy to use money, but now in the Zhou Dynasty, money can be used for anything. The Wu family Needless to say, even Princess Taiping, a member of the Li family, collected money blatantly. Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible. Having money can make ghosts push around, and push ghosts to laugh, haha!
Wang Anran made a sound and said: "Thirty thousand guan, that's a lot. The tax collected at the pass, can you receive this amount in a year?"
Zheng Conghu laughed and shook his head: "If you can't receive it, don't worry about the small amount of tax. If the merchant doesn't pay it, he won't be able to enter the customs. If he wants to enter the customs faster, he has to pay the expedited fee and there is no need to queue up." . It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen that queue, it¡¯s so long that only a fool would be willing to queue!¡±
"Businessmen don't resist? Don't go too far!" Wang Anran said.
Zheng Conghu shook his head and said: "I don't see anyone resisting. Those who pay for expedited payment will naturally not say anything. They don't have to queue up. Those who don't want to pay can only consider themselves unlucky and queue up normally. Originally, they also had to queue up. It¡¯s nothing like them!¡±
Wang Anran nodded, but didn¡¯t ask any more questions. Anyway, he planned to go and have a look tomorrow. If anything happened, he would know at a glance.
That night, the Wang family spent ten guan of money to buy wine and meat, and treated Zheng Conghu and all the villagers in Chengguan Village to a feast, and they left happily.
The next day, Wang Anran took out another ten guan of money, bought dozens of jars of good wine, loaded them on the car, and asked the Four King Kongs to follow Shen Da Yao and visit each village. Although Zhenghe villagers in other villages did not help, What a big deal, but the guarantee letter was not fake. They really planned to help and took action. Naturally, they had to express their gratitude. Otherwise, who would be willing to help in the future? A person must know how to be grateful.
Wang Anran got on his horse and planned to go to the pass to have a look. Tu Bao insisted on going with him, so Wang Anran had no choice but to take her with him. The little girl was at a fun and active age. She usually had nothing to do in the village, so she saw a lot of people. The world is good.
Along the way, we arrived at the wasteland after a while. We saw that large tracts of lavender had been harvested and dried in the open air. There were also many soldiers working in the field. The soldiers worked very hard. Zheng Conghu must have followed They said they were working for Wang Anran, and Wang Anran's tricks made a lot of money, and all the soldiers guarding the gate had a share. In return, the soldiers would not spare any effort in their work.
When they arrived at the pass, Wang Anran was wearing an official uniform and riding a tall horse. When the soldiers guarding the pass saw him, they did not stop him. Some of them who knew him even took the initiative to say hello to him. Wang Anran smiled and returned the greeting, regardless of whether he was familiar with him or not. , anyway, they are always greeted with a smile.
After successfully leaving the city gate and arriving at the tax collection place outside the customs, Wang Anran was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "No wonder Zheng Conghu said he didn't need me to recruit too many subordinates. Yesterday I was wondering how a few people could maintain such a big place. Is it law and order? Hey, now it seems that it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t need one person!¡±
On the open space, there were more merchants waiting to enter the customs than he had seen last time, more than two thousand people, and the number of soldiers present actually reached more than four hundred, which was equivalent to a group of soldiers who could fight independently. As a team, the soldiers were all fully armed, with swords and guns in their hands, and bows and arrows on their backs. They formed four square formations and guarded the city gate.
It¡¯s such a big battle. It seems that with an income of 30,000 yuan a year, even the army can¡¯t bear it!
Wang Anran looked at the tax collectors again and saw that the clerks were obviously different from the last time. The last time he came to see them, the clerks were busy taking notes and were extremely busy. But now their actions But it slowed down obviously. Zheng Conghu must have greeted them and shared some benefits with them. As long as they work slower, wouldn't there be more merchants paying expedited money!
Wang Anran thought to himself: "Since I have to take care of things here in the future, don't be idle and open a food stall. There are so many merchants waiting to enter the customs. Eating and drinking is a must. The food stall business is not as good as collecting food." Expediting costs less.¡±
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone shouting from the other side of the pass: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, I finally found you, something big has happened!"
Wang Anran turned around and saw a horse running out of the pass. The man on the horse was Lu Shunfeng.
Lu Shunfeng ran to Wang Anran's horse and shouted: "Brother Wang, I finally found you. I'm almost dying of anxiety. Something big has happened in the yamen, and you have to solve it!"
Wang Anran was happy, shook his head and said: "I only have a small formality, and I am not an errand in the yamen. It is not my turn to take care of small things, let alone big things. Brother Lu, are you kidding!"
Lu Shunfeng approached him and said breathlessly: "Don't let me have a stroke, sir.The one who was angry, the one who was so popular as the governor, is now in a coma, fearing that he will go to the West! "
Wang Anran said in surprise: "They are quarreling again?"
"That's not right, Mr. Bijia is a very powerful fighter. Yesterday, Jin Niu and Zheng Conghu fought two against one, but they didn't even make him angry. Why did Jin Niu alone make him so angry that he had a stroke? This is unscientific!
Lu Shunfeng sighed, turned his head and looked around, and saw no one around, except for a little girl sitting in front of Wang Anran, who must be someone close to him, so he dared to tell the cause of the matter.
Yesterday, after Jiang Captou got into trouble, he left as soon as possible. Taurus was angry and had no place to vent his anger, so he went to find Zhang Congjian to bring bad luck to Zhang Congjian, and the two quarreled again.
Jinniu said that Zhang Congjian instigated Jiang Li to spread rumors. Jiang Li was Zhang Congjian's party member and a biting mad dog. Zhang Congjian naturally refused to admit it. If it was really he who instigated it, it would be fine. He could make Jinniu so angry. He was happy, but it was not him who instigated it, and Jiang Li was not his confidant. If Jin Niu blamed him so much, wouldn't he be wronged!
It is normal for colleagues to attack each other, and it is also common for family members to be involved. However, it is rare for the person involved to come to quarrel, especially if the person is wronged, which makes Zhang Congjian even more unbearable.
During the quarrel, Zhang Congjian was fine. He had a habit of drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat. After the quarrel, he would eat and drink more. He ate a lot at night, and continued eating and drinking when he got up in the morning. As a result, he suddenly suffered a stroke without warning. He was unconscious, his limbs were lukewarm, and he looked like he was about to die.
The Zhang family was in great distress and hurriedly called for a doctor and reported it to Jin Niu. Taurus is also stupid, quarreling is not a big deal, who doesn't quarrel? Even in the court, the prime ministers were quarreling, so quarreling was really not a big deal. But if someone quarrels to death, or if the boss of a state quarrels the second child to death, then the problem will be huge. Taurus will never want to be promoted in this life, who dares to be his colleague, it is too long-lived What?
Jinniu immediately sent Lu Shunfeng to find Wang Anran and asked Wang Anran to treat the disease. He could not trust other doctors, but now he trusted Wang Anran.
After listening to the narration, Wang Anran also scratched his head a little. Stroke is not an easy disease to treat. Even in modern times with advanced medical science, it is not easy to treat. Moreover, in this era, there are no instruments, so it is difficult to diagnose!
But when things come to a head, we have no choice but to bite the bullet!
Wang Anran said: "Okay, then I will go and have a look with you, but I don't know if Zhang Biejia's family will let me treat him?"
"Even if I don't let you be treated, you have to be treated, otherwise the governor will be in big trouble!"
Lu Shunfeng started first, followed by Wang Anran on horseback, and together they ran back to Liangzhou City.
