Chapter 703 It can be confirmed: Cao Fang belongs to the faction of the Three Princes

Lin Su came to the front of his mansion, the folding fan slowly moved away, his face was exposed to the sun, the eyes of the yamen guard in the door suddenly widened, and almost at the same time, he knelt down: "My lord!"

The word "Master Fu Zun" came from the door, and it quickly turned into a torrent. He Xingong's hand trembled, and a cup of tea almost splashed on Cao Li's face...

Soon, all the chief officials of the four divisions and eight houses gathered at the same time, and they all came to the gate of the government office, and bowed deeply at the same time: "See you, Mr. Fu Zun!"

Lin Su rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm just going back to the government office as usual. If you come here and spread it, wouldn't it be a joke? I thought that I, the magistrate, would come here only a few times..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, my lord, are you really ashamed to do this?Just tell me, how many times do you come here a year?

Of course, in the officialdom, you can't say that...

He Xingong smoothed things over: "My lords, let's leave, Mr. Cao and I have to report something to Mr. Fu Zun..."

Then everyone saluted and returned to their duties.

Lin Su stepped into the official hall with his eight-character gait.

He Xingong and Cao Li entered side by side, the yamen servant brought three cups of fragrant tea, and retreated to the door...

"Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, please use tea!" He Xingong and Cao Li toasted at the same time.

Lin Su held up the teacup and smiled slightly: "Before entering the government office, the government has already walked around outside. You have done a good job during this time, very good!"

This has gone in a circle, and I have learned a lot.

why?

This circle can be big or small, and the time can be long or short.

He walked around the river embankment outside for 10 minutes and called it a round trip. He made a private visit in a micro-service, and went around seven counties for three months, which was also called a round trip.

He Xingong and Cao Li nodded at the same time: "Since the lord of the government took office, he has paid attention to people's livelihood and sentiments. Everything in Nanshan Mansion is fine..."

It only takes a few words from the three adults, and the matter of Lin Su's long-term non-performance of duties is settled.

He values ​​people's livelihood and people's sentiments. He went out for private visits in micro-services, he slept in the open, he worked harder than anyone else, and he was more pragmatic than anyone else. I rely on...

Lin Su was very satisfied: "Talk about the basic situation during this period..."

Outside of Palace Master He Xin, first report the surrounding situation...

The situation on the outskirts couldn't be better...

The river embankment was completed at the end of last year. At that time, it was only based on the great trust of the adults, and everyone didn't think much about it. Now that the construction is completed, everyone knows how foresight the adults are...

Once the river embankment was changed, the entire Nanshan Mountain suddenly became a paradise. Countless literati rushed to it, and the reputation of Nanshan Mansion has already surpassed Zhongzhou...

This is only the reputation, but the second is that the rainy season is approaching this year. If there is no such river embankment, who would dare to stay in the government office?All of them got all the rivers, and their brains were troubled for the coming rainy season. My lord planned for the rainy day, but I thought of this step a long time ago. The completion of the embankment has put a key lock on the survival of the people...

In addition to the river embankment, what is more important is the livelihood of the people. Last winter, the total number of people who died of freezing and starving in the whole prefecture was less than a hundred. It is necessary to know that the number of people who died of freezing and starving to death in the past was tens of thousands every year. Yu Lin's family paid a deposit in advance...

The biggest surprise unfolded ten days ago. It was still the Lin family who came to Nanshan Mansion to collect flowers. The flower farmers who planted an acre of flowers all had a harvest of three taels of silver. The most flower farmers planted more than ten mu and harvested more than thirty taels of silver. The entire Nanshan Mansion is in a state of excitement. If your lord goes down to the counties at this moment, you may really see many people's homes enshrining your lord's longevity tablet...

Lin Su was dumbfounded, is it the tablet of longevity again?

I rejected the Haining Jiangtan side, but this side stands up, what's the matter?I look like a Bodhisattva?

The more He Xingong talked, the more excited he became...

The most difficult thing for every government is to collect taxes!

But Nanshan Mansion... Oh, Master Cao is in charge of this area, Master Cao, tell me...

The tax collection is indeed an internal affair, and Cao Li is responsible for it...

Cao Li stroked his beard and started speaking...

The old man has also served as a magistrate for more than ten years, and also served as a magistrate. Naturally, he knows that the most difficult thing for an official is to collect taxes. The common people are so poor that they have no tiles and no land. pay?Every time the tax is collected, to be honest, it is extremely painful for the old man.

I can't bear it, but I can't help it.

But under the rule of Lord Fu Zun, the old man saw the spectacle of the officialdom...

Those flower growers competed to pay taxes, selling flowers in front of them, and queuing up in the county government to pay taxes in the back. Although the adult set a standard for them of [-]% of the tax, it took only ten days to pay the [-]% of the tax. , has already exceeded the tax amount issued by the state government to Nanshan.

Speaking of this, Comrade Cao laughed: "Your Majesty, you exempted those who built the river from the tax and fee, and set a [-]% tax standard for other people. The old man and Mr. He are still quite worried, worried. This year's tax and fee task gap is too large, and now it seems that adults are wise and have already calculated it."

This is actually the level of vision.

In the eyes of people in this era, whether taxes and fees can be collected depends on the level of tax rates.

Thirty percent is not enough, if it is added to [-]%, if [-]% is not enough, if it is added to [-]%, it is always a fuss about the tax rate.

But Lin Su is not like this.

The tax rate under his rule is insanely low, only [-]%!

And he also waved his hand, those who participated in the construction of the embankment will be exempted from taxes and fees for the whole year!

With such a decision, no matter how hot-headed the officials present at the time were, their hearts were still blown by a cold wind, and everyone was lingering with a entanglement in their hearts... The adults did everything they can to treat the people, but taxes and fees are the hard indicators of the superiors. What if it fails?

Now the answer is out, the taxes and fees have been completed, and it has been overfulfilled, half a year ahead of schedule.

why?

Because Lin Su enlarged the tax base!

In the past, the common people planed food in the fields, and the family could not dig three taels of silver for a year, and they had to pay high land rent, with a [-]% discount and a [-]% discount, at most one or more taels in their hands, and you collected [-]% of the tax and it was only half a tael.

What now?The common people harvest ten taels of silver in one flowering season, and even if the tax fee is only [-]%, there is still one tael of silver.

It seems that the tax rate has been greatly reduced, but the tax collected is actually doubled!

This is the benefit of a large base, and both the people and the government win-win.

This move really convinced Cao Li and He Xingong.

It also made those officials who were waiting to see Lin Su's jokes stunned.

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the official affairs of the government, let's talk about other things..." Lin Su held up his teacup: "Our lord Zhizhou, and the prince next door, are there any changes?"

As soon as these words came out, the two adults looked at each other...

King Lu Yang looks normal here, how can it be normal?Incomparably restrained!

Before the adults came to Nanshan, the princes of King Luyang basically used Nanshan City as their back garden. This is the case, but after the adults came, especially after the adults showed their power in the Luyang Palace, these phenomena disappeared. People from the Luyang Palace hardly entered Nanshan. Trouble, don't cause trouble, it seems that the adults are really scared of him.

However, there are indications that King Luyang is still recruiting people from all over the world. Recently, standing on the top of Nanshan City, he can occasionally see practitioners coming and going above the palace of King Luyang.

As for Zhizhou...

Cao Zhizhou still hasn't been to Nanshan Mansion, but he is very concerned about one thing...

"What's the matter?" Lin Su narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Xingong's eyes were also quite complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Sifang Mountain on Dongting Lake!"

"How about a method of attention?"

He Xingong said: "Your Excellency, you may not know that there is a Zen temple on Sifang Mountain. A few days ago...to be precise, it was the day after your Excellency entered the government office after the year. A tragedy happened. Hundreds of monks in Sifang Temple , was killed by someone inexplicably, and the Sifang Temple became an empty temple. The Master Zhizhou was very concerned about this matter, and went to Sifang Mountain in person. Afterwards, he also found several masters of literature and practice to track down the murderer behind the scenes .”

Lin Su acted as if he knew nothing about this matter, and nodded: "Under the rule of Zhongzhou, hundreds of people died at one time. Although he was a monk, it was considered a major case. It was justified for him to come to the scene as a magistrate, but he didn't know that the master of Zhizhou was What day did you arrive at the scene?"

He Xingong said: "I am ashamed to say this. My Nanshan Mansion is separated from Sifang Mountain by a river, and it is the closest mansion to Sifang Mountain. However, I didn't know anything about the murder. On the contrary, the magistrate discovered it first, and the murder happened. Arrived in person the next day, afterward, after three days of continuous investigation, the policemen from Nanshan Prefecture and Jeju Prefecture were not allowed to participate, and all the policemen from the prefecture government took over. This seems to be dissatisfaction with Nanshan and Jeju Prefecture..."

Arrived in time!

The person who knows the state government will check it!

After checking for three days, I stopped checking!

The combination of the three key information, Lin Su completely understands...

Zhizhou Cao Fang is a member of the Third Prince!

He is very clear about the Sifang Mountain Wujianmen stronghold!

He is related to Infernal Gate!

That's why he was able to know the tragedy happened at the first time, and he refused the participation of the police officers below.

Why only check for three days?

Because three days later, the detailed video about the Sifang Mountain tragedy was sent to the Third Prince (from Zhou Mei)!

He knew the whole situation, so there was no need to investigate.

Very good, Cao Fang's bottom line, he has already touched it!

Lin Su looked at the sky, it was just noon...

"My lords, even though I have returned to the mansion, you should just pretend that I have not. The big and small matters in the mansion are still the same as yesterday. What should you do? Ask He Xingong if you are undecided about foreign matters, and ask Cao Li if you are undecided about internal matters. , all go!"

Lin Su patted his thigh and stood up.

He Xingong and old man Cao quickly stood up: "Since your lord is back..."

"My butt is sharp, so I can't sit in the office, so stop bothering me with the shit in the mansion!" Lin Su interrupted them and went out.

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time...

This sigh has elements of helplessness, but also elements of joy...

Although it is true that they are very hard, being an official under Lin Su is not particularly hard, because he has already solved the most difficult thing.

What's more, the status of the two of them is something that all the masters and chief ministers in the world dream of.

They are not prefects, they are better than prefects.

At this point in life, what does the husband want?

When Lin Su left the prefect's mansion, someone greeted him outside.

Who is this?

Dressed luxuriously, blushing...

This person stepped forward a few steps: "My lord, you are back!"
