Some speculations in my mind turned, and a thought slowly came to my mind."
Your Excellency......
Does this mean that the people of the city are really paying this tax as required by the imperial court?
”Shen Changan asked slowly.The Taibao was keenly aware of the meaning of Shen Chang'an's words, his expression was sincere and frightened, and he hurriedly knelt down to the underground road, "Your Highness Mingjian, if the lower officials have such thoughts, they will be thundered by the sky!"
”"Don't be nervous, this is just the speculation of this palace, after all, in some other places where commerce is prosperous, because the prefect of each county will provide some convenience for merchants, so the amount of tax will also be raised higher, this is not an uncommon thing, and the imperial court also allows such a practice, as long as it is not excessive."
Shen Changan explained unhurriedly."
No......
Heyang County absolutely none.A few years ago, there were indeed merchants who wanted to act like this, but the head of the lower official was a person who couldn't understand business, and he was afraid of disappointing the court and the expectations of the merchants, so he thought that more things were better than less, so he refused. ”The man said with a serious expression.Shen Changan pondered for a moment and said, "This is strange, since you don't want to make a deal with the merchant, why did someone invite this palace in?"
I want to come to communicate with you The person who came to communicate with you is also a merchant son of the Taoist Palace, right?
”The man's expression was a little frightened, but he didn't panic.He hurriedly explained, "And ......
Not really.It's not that only the merchants will be invited into this mansion, the lower officials are hand-picked by the imperial court, and the parents of Heyang County naturally have no reason to turn anyone away, no matter who comes to visit, the lower officials will meet.If it is an ordinary merchant, it will explain it in detail and then reject its kindness, but it is never a time to avoid it. ”Shen Changan listened carefully, and the speculation in his heart became more and more certain.Laughing softly, she looked at Taibao and asked, "Do you know that the guards outside your palace are not allowed to walk around in front of the government gate?"
”The Taibao looked startled and asked, "What......
How can it be?
”"This palace also asks you, who else is in charge of affairs in this palace besides you?"
Shen Changan lowered his eyes and looked at him and asked."
Who else ......"
Taibao thought for a moment and said, "Heyang County is small, so the lower officials don't have any colleagues, it's just that there are county magistrates in the government." ”"Prefectural order?"
Shen Changan repeated softly.The words of the head of the guard in front of the door came to my ears just now.This prefectural order ......
It seems that in the old days there was no such thing."
The county order is important to the lower officials, so some big and small matters are handled by the lower officials."
Taipo explained."
As the head of a county, he is in his position but does not seek his own politics, and everything is pushed to you to deal with, what is the reason?"
Shen Changan's expression was stained with a little chill, and he asked slowly."
Ah......
Although this is the case, the adults still remember the people of Heyang County very much, and it is said that they often go to the people's homes to inspect, considerate and understand the people's feelings, and the people are very fond of adults!
”"......I see," Shen Changan's lips were a little sneering.Suddenly, a guard walked up to her and whispered a few words in her ear.Shen Changan's face moved slightly, and there was a bit of clarity between his eyebrows and eyes.She slowly turned her head sideways to look at Taibao and said, "But why, what this palace investigated is different from what the adults said?"
