On a ferryboat, people came down one after another.
Carrying a burden, carrying a basket, helping the old and the young to go up.
Today is the big gathering of Yunlong Town.
The Yang family's Taibai Building had already been opened, and inside were literati and elegant guests drinking tea and drinking in it.
Yunlong Town, which has settled down, has prospered a lot.
Zhang Chun and his entourage were all wearing "Western clothes", followed by three soldiers carrying box guns and a group of men carrying luggage.
Naturally, all the people pay attention.
Soon someone recognized that this was the new head of the family, the newly married head of the Zhang family.
Zhang Chun quickened his pace and walked directly to the yamen of the money and grain cabinet.
The yamen has been empty for more than half a year.
Half of it was taken to the county seat by Xin Baojiu, and half of it was directly disbanded by Zhang Chun.
Chunya uses the key to open the door.
This is a very traditional architectural model of the county government, the gatehouse, the class room, the small courtyard and the lobby where the master lives.
Entering the backyard through the small door next to the lobby, the maid lives in the side room, the main room where the chief official lives, the guest room, the kitchen, the storeroom, the utility room and the small garden.
Very traditional public security bureau plus government office.
It's just a little smaller than the county office.
Xin Baojiu has been an official here for nine years, and he still makes his place very comfortable.
Before they settled down, the Yang family sent a cooking mother and two maids over.
The two maids are twelve or thirteen years old, delicate and lovely. said it was for the little lady.
The sound of the soldier's command was also remembered at the door.
This is the garrison sent a squad of soldiers over.
"Report to Team Officer Zhang, Yuan Dinggang, the leader of the first platoon of the Yunlong Garrison, reports to you."
Zhao Dinggang is a dark and quite capable young man, and he was taken by Zhang Tian's gang to say a word as if he was taking an oath.
However, the military salute and military posture are very standardized.
Although Zhang Chun is no longer an officer, the soldiers are still used to being called so.
Zhang Chun returned the salute.
Zhao Dinggang began to report the number.
With nine of them in a row, it was clear at a glance.
But Zhao Dinggang still followed the procedure.
Unloaded his backpack, divided two people to stand guard at the gate of the yamen, and then neatly divided into two columns and walked into the class room.
Get your housekeeping in order.
Zhao Dinggang led six soldiers to patrol the street.
However, they seem to regard patrolling as training, and they walk as if they have a grudge against people.
It doesn't matter what the people on the street think of them, whether it's avoiding them, whether it's handing them something, they don't care about it at all.
Zhang Chun came out with Lizhi and Chunya, and saw that they had the posture of scaring the people.
Hurriedly ordered that only two or two patrols were allowed, and that they should be trained in the yamen for training, and they could be trained however they wanted.
Zhao Dinggang smiled and left the two of them to continue.
He took the people back to the yamen.
The old man of the Wu family came out of the ready-to-wear shop, said a few polite words, and said that he would invite Zhang Chun to Wu's house for dinner in the evening.
Zhang Chun smiled and pushed the matter to Gu Ming, saying that if there was anything, he would discuss it with Gu Dianshi.
In fact, this time, when he took office, he brought Gu Ming and Gu Ming's guards with him, just to throw Gu Ming here.
After all, it is also a classic history.
It is also appropriate to stay behind in the yamen.
The steward of the Qinghe Wu family also came over to chat a few words.
Zhang Chun said that he was going to visit Lizhen's grandmother and said goodbye.

Lizhen's grandmother is still there, but the Yang family is not the housekeeper of the grandmother.
Lizhi's uncle Yang Tianfu is the bookkeeper of the newly opened inn.
After a few words with my grandmother, the patriarch of the Yang family came over with the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, Taibai Lou and the inn.
When it was time to collect taxes again, the imperial court had raised the commercial tax significantly, so the merchants were very concerned about how much tax they had to pay.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, commercial tax was declared or recognized, and sometimes apportioned.
There are no regulations on auditing and door-to-door collection, and the tax resistance is to send people to collect the tax by Baojia, that is, the right is given to the large households.
In the area covered by Zhang's family, Zhang Chun is the actual head of the armor, and Xin Baojiu also asked Zhang Chun to hand in the guarantee and issue a waist card.
But in fact, after the banditry, the cycle book has not been updated.
The money and grain cabinets are taxed by invoices from the enslavement atlas.
Demographic changes simply don't matter.
In addition to the Zhangjia, Lijia, and Wangjia in Yunlong Town, there are three plaques in East Street, West Street and Baimin Lane.
The head of the Yang family is the head of West Street.
"It's been a while since the Xin County Order appointed me as the main secretary, and there are some delays in my family.
Gu Dianshi is cleaning up the atlas and the previous string of tickets.
Commercial tax is based on last year's example.
The imperial court, the eight countries of the indemnity, and the preparation of a new army all need money.
How is the income this year?
” Zhang Chun looked at the nervous few people and smiled.
The Yang family's family breathed a sigh of relief, in the past three years, the business tax has doubled year by year, in addition to taxes and donations, the Yang family can still afford it, if it rises again, half of the merchants will have problems with food and clothing.
West Street is full of small vendors, and the situation is quite serious.
"Thanks to Lord Zhang for leading people to suppress the bandits and defend Zilin, everyone is having a better time this year.
There are also more merchants.
"The head of the Yang family is an old man in his fifties, and his body is very good, but he is not an ordinary person who can open a pawnshop and make loan sharks, and it is said that he has something to do with the boat gang.
"This is also what I should do, bandits disturb the people, and the Zhang family bears the brunt.
However, when I first arrived, things were not so anxious, and I hadn't cleaned up the civil register for many years.
Tomorrow, the county will send the booklet over and let everyone fill in the house number paper.
In the early years, there were few households, only the head of the card was set up, and there was no security, and the door number paper was collected to see the situation, and it was still necessary to set up a guarantee.
Tomorrow the yamen will put up a notice.
Several of them are my elders, so please help me with many things.
Today, I came mainly to talk to the old lady, so we won't be in trouble, there are still many things in the yamen. ” Zhang Chun and Lizhi took their leave.
Back at the yamen, Gu Ming's living room was already full.
Zhang Chun didn't bother, and went directly into the backyard.
Yunlong Town, the old city and the new town, because each family occupies a large territory, making the streets scattered and shapeless.
Except for the neat sides of the pier, you can't see other places.
The Wu family occupies half of this territory.
Even the foreign church that no one has in the middle was sold to Julian by the Wu family, and of course there is only one church area.
The church used to be a textile mill and a weaving mill, and after the Wu family and several others withdrew from the management of the two factories, the Li family rebuilt the textile factory in the greater Li Jiawan.
The equipment of the two factories was moved, and now only one yard remains, and the façade houses on the street have been divided by the original shareholders and rented out to vendors from all over the world to open some shops, among which the Yang family has opened an inn.
In the past, it was a former barracks, where the Li family opened a lumber mill.
In the past, there were some small families in a mess.
Opposite the lumber mill is the Li family's bamboo club.
It should be said that the Li family is still very business-minded.
Next to the bamboo society is a teahouse and restaurant opened by a small family surnamed Qi.
This restaurant is a civilian business.
The Qijia Restaurant used to be a few small shops, and then there were the Yang family's pawnshops and Taibai Restaurant.

Taibai Lou is a business for wealthy merchants.
In the past of the wharf, opposite the Wu family, there was the Qinghe Wu family's shipping company and Yonghe firm.
This is Zhang Fenglan's old foundation.
Next to Yonghe Commercial Bank is the yamen of the money and grain cabinet.
It was precisely because the two families were close to each other that Xin Baojiu got close to the Qinghe Wu family back then.
Yamen used to be the grain and oil store of the Liu family.
In the past, there were some rice shops, cloth shops, and hardware stores.
These were all trading houses with some connection to Hankow.
These are the big taxpayers.
It is bounded by the wharf and is divided into East Street and West Street.
West Street is full of wealthy merchants, and it is the Wu family.
Although the Wu family has not been squeezed in recent years, the old foundation is still there.
Gaomen compound, you can't tell how many courtyards there are inside.
Relying on the weaving factory in Hankou, the Wu family almost monopolized the garment business in Yunlong Town.
The tailor master is willing to pay the capital, the daughters-in-law of the Wu family are all good tailors, even the Li family is evasive, and can only do the cloth business.
