I have the best bloodline.
Chapter 168
"It's cheap as hell, more expensive than hiring a monk, and slower than the monks!"
A high-level earth-type monk can replace hundreds of body-refining and qi-refining monks when building a city.
When the price is spread out, it is the time cost, and high-level monks are actually more cost-effective.
"Old Dai! This time it's really you who will die or we will die, you said you did this." Su Yan sighed and said, "After you die, we still have to check your family's account books and make sure your tenants and other workers in the shops have food, drink, and defecation."
Old Dai was threatened by Su Yan, and for a while he was a little undecided and looked at the lawyer he hired.
The lawyer was also panicking now. What Su Yan said was based on classics, and he even described the history of Xia Yu's public trial and the reasons. It was so true that the lawyer himself was a little weak.
The things Su Yan said were not within the scope of lawyers' knowledge, but were unwritten rules among officials at all levels in the court. How could a lawyer who had only studied for a few years know those things?
But the lawyer calmed down and looked at Su Yan and asked, "I don't know. Magistrate Su, why did you tell us these things?"
"Because I'm afraid of trouble and because I'm short of money." Su Yan said as a matter of course, "It's extremely difficult for us Xia Yu to get promoted. I may reincarnate several times, but your Majesty is still the Wusheng Emperor, and the Third Master is still the Third Master now, so I want to blackmail you and take advantage of your current disaster to earn some tribute to the higher-ups."
Old Dai and the lawyer: "."
Good guy, so you want to take advantage of the fire!
………………
In the inner hall of the government office, Su Yan discussed the Lingshi transaction with the landlord Old Dai and gave him some pointers.
"Brother Su is the one who got hurt by lying. He said it as if it was the truth."
Looking at the sack of spiritual stones on the ground, Zhou You looked at Su Yan with a surprised look on his face.
"Whether it is the human race or the demon race, there is a factor of seeking benefits and avoiding harm in their instincts. I told Old Dai to confess his guilt and accept punishment voluntarily, but when I threatened him with killing his whole family, he would obviously be more likely to accept it, right?"
Su Yan smiled and said.
If Su Yan really emphasizes strict and severe sentencing during the public sentencing later, and uses the cause of public grievances and public anger to set the main tone, and ignores the ethics of some county magistrates and sentences the Dai family to death, it is really not difficult.
But why bother?
The death penalty will only cause panic among the wealthy businessmen and landlords in Flower City. After the public grievances and public grievances are calmed, the wealthy businessmen and landlords should also be ready to run away, and the financial performance of Flower City will be the final victim.
Just sentence Old Dai to parade through the streets, fine him, and donate money to build bricks and tiles for Flower City.
The people of Flower City probably haven't tried to throw rotten eggs at the dignitaries, right?
I'll notify everyone later so that all the people can experience the feeling of physical Landlord.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, remember to organize the officials to set up stalls to sell throwing objects and guide the people on how to use them. We must not let others spend this money in vain. We earn it back and build a private brothel or something. Isn't it great?"
Su Yan, who was about to go back to the house to change into official uniforms, looked at Zhou You and said.
"A few taels of silver do you also earn?"
"Although I don't care, we are now the county magistrate in charge. We can earn a little bit! A little bit here and there will add up to a lot."
Introduction: Haruhiko traveled to the demon Tokyo in the game and began his second life.
His background is unknown, and he was adopted by his mother's friend, the Inari Shrine Miko.
But he accidentally discovered that she was not a human, but a monster.
It doesn't matter. She is beautiful, so it's not impossible.
But he also realized that his mother's friend was actually someone else.
Chapter 329 Su is concerned about the country, the people and the world
"Bang!"
The gavel rang, and the Lady of Luanming County, squatting in the court, shouted: "Bring the woman Dai Lin"
"Don't wear it, don't wear it, County Magistrate"
After the detailed explanation in the back hall, the landlord Dai saw the villagers in the government office and the words they cursed him, and he immediately understood that these villagers were most likely the same villagers as the young people who were deceived by him to work for free.
Recalling what Magistrate Su said about the public trial and the significance of the public trial as a model, Old Dai panicked. When the gavel of Luanming County Lord rang, Old Dai used his cultivation to squeeze through the crowd, and threw himself directly to the court with a slightly fat belly, crying:
"Mr. Magistrate! I am guilty! I should not have coveted the loss of silver and disappointed the sincerity of my fellow villagers! I really deserve to die!"
Seeing that the situation was the same as Su Yan expected, Old Dai now completely believed what Su Yan said, and followed the words Su Yan told him to jump to the court and cry wildly, confessing his guilt to the county magistrates in the court.
Because it was a public trial, Su Yan, Zhou You, Luanming County Lord, Feng Shiqi, and Qingya were all there, all wearing green and silver silk embroidered court robes and sitting in the court.
"Tell me what you have done."
Su Yan waved to the yamen runners in front of the door, and brought the young man who sued the landlord Lao Dai, Lao Dai's wife, concubines and daughters, and also brought the lawyer who wanted to pretend to be dead to the court.
"Master, please make a decision for me!"
As soon as the young people arrived at the hall, they angrily began to tell what happened. Lao Dai's coquettish concubine seduced them into farming in Lao Dai's fields. They plowed several acres a day to grow sugar cane and sugar beets for Lao Dai. As a result, more than a dozen young people had to work less than half of the time. In a few months, the farming is about to be completed, and it will be time to bring the beauty back home.
Lao Dai jumped out and tried to get rid of him with a few taels of silver. How could they endure it? They agreed that whoever plowed more fields would be able to marry into Dai's family.
The young man said so, and other young people also yelled at the Dai family for not doing anything about human affairs.
Let the concubine lure people back to work for free.
Ask your daughter to bring someone back to marry you.
In the end, it was just a few taels of silver, and Lao Dai even threatened the young people, saying that they had broken the law, and that spying on married women and untouched girls were all violations of Xia Yu's laws.
After the case went through, Su Yan and the others had already understood that it was actually a normal process for the plaintiff and defendant to appeal the case in court until the two parties and the people outside the court were almost at each other's throats.
County Lord Luanming turned on the Gaoling wood again, slapped it on the table hard, causing a burst of harsh sound waves, and forcibly calmed down the arguments in the courtroom, and said:
"The case has been cleared up by this officer. Now do the Dai family lawyers and Dai Changji have anything else to say?"
"He's the mastermind!"
The lawsuit stick didn't even think about directly identifying Lao Dai, and opened his mouth to pick him off, but Lao Dai was no joke and also opened his mouth to identify the lawsuit stick. It was this guy who was familiar with Xia Yu's law and sold him the idea, saying that he would let himself go You can earn hundreds of kilograms of spiritual stones every year.
"Do the prisoner Dai Changji and his wife and concubines plead guilty?" Su Yan asked.
"Dai Mou pleads guilty! But the grassroots want to make amends and donate money to the government to repair the garden landscape so that people can smell the fragrance of flowers when they open them, improve people's livelihood and protect the scorching sun in midsummer, and want to give young people who are really hurt They paid three times the wages and also wanted to distribute clothes to the people.”
Lao Dai Guangsu confessed and, as Su Yan said, voluntarily spent money to build facilities to benefit the people.
Su Yan looked at Sui Gun, who quickly began to take out some money to quell the people's complaints so that the county magistrate wouldn't push him out to block the gun.
"Sentence!"
After the county magistrates temporarily returned to the back hall to discuss, Feng Shiqi took out a piece of paper and pronounced the verdict loudly:
"Dai Changji and his wife and concubines used fraud to trick young people into working for free. Because of their frank and sincere confession and their willingness to spend their property to repair people's livelihood facilities, the following judgment was made. Dai Changji must pay three times the amount of compensation to the victims in addition to compensation. He was compensated for his work, and because his despicable behavior caused public outrage, he was punished by being paraded around the city naked and imprisoned. "
"Although the offender is an accomplice, she is also guilty of disorderly conduct and fraud. She will be jailed for twenty canes."
"The verdict of the young people is as follows. According to Xia Yu's law, whether a deceased husband or wife is required to keep vigil for one year, the young people are subjectively suspected of spying on married women and not having sex with hair-pinned girls. According to Xia Yu's law, they should enclosure the land for three days before the market."
Feng Shiqi announced the verdict of the county magistrates loudly, then looked at the more than 20 people in the audience and said, "Do you have any objections?"
The young people were compensated by Lao Dai and Sui Gun with nine times the market wage. After thinking about it, they realized that the wages here have been almost a year and a half. Although he was unwilling to take the coquettish woman home, if he raised objections again, he might not even get the compensation and donate it all to the government office, so he agreed with the sentence made by the county magistrates.
Lao Dai and Qiu Gun looked bitter and had no objection.
………………
In the back hall after the sentence was pronounced, the young people were hung with signs saying "I am greedy for married women, I am despicable", and the government officials pressed them to the door of the market, drew a circle in a cool place, put them inside, and ordered them You are not allowed to leave within three days. The official will be responsible for three meals. If you cross the line, you will be fined and paraded through the streets for 15 days.
Lao Dai and Sui Gun also came to the back hall. The clothes on their bodies were removed by the government officials, leaving only their shoes and pants. They put on shackles and had fraud and guilt papers on their chests behind them, preparing to go around the city in a state of embarrassment for a day.
"Hey Lao Dai"
Su Yan walked into the back hall, looked at Lao Dai and the lawsuit stick who had just been shackled, and said, "Next week our Flower Office is going to sell the rental rights of the prosperous shop. Let's see if you are interested in bidding."
The Flower City used to belong to the clans, but now that the clans have collapsed, the ownership of the Flower City belongs to the government.
In the past, clans rented land and asked merchants to pay for renting shops for business.
But now the world has changed. Su Yan now has more than 30 popular shops in his possession. Su Yan added a bidding fee before renting out the land, and the land lease period has also been changed from three years to ten years.
Anyone who wants the lease rights to those popular shops can bid.
As for who rents it and whether it is rented, the government office has no interest in management, as long as it pays taxes on time.
"Bidding?"
Lao Dai was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said: "Magistrate Su, you are not kind in your actions! There was no such thing as bidding before."
"Before? In the past, for things like yours, the Hua family should have been dragged to the ancestral hall and beaten to death, and your wives, concubines, and daughters should have been sent to be dipped in pig cages. Let's talk about this." Su Yan waved his hand and said, "Now it is open and fair. From now on, One or two spiritual stones started bidding for ten-year lease rights.”
Bid to obtain the right to lease, and the lease fee must be paid to the government office on time.
Lao Dai felt that Su Yan was robbing, and that the bidding fee was just a cover. It was clear that Su County Magistrate had cleverly used a pretext to rob the landlords and wealthy businessmen from their pockets, and then put the bidding fees into his own pocket.
"Just tell me whether you want to rent it or not! After renting it back, as long as you don't do anything illegal, you can divide it into a few rooms, rent the first floor to a fruit and vegetable seller, the second floor to a rouge seller, and the third floor to a brothel owner. The turnover rate will go up, and you can rent each floor at a higher price."
"The rental price is also lower for merchants, isn't that the truth?" Su Yan said, "Then you can lie at home and make a lot of money, while our government office doesn't make any money, isn't that a big loss?"
Old Dai: "Your meaning. Do you mean that I can continue to build on the original building?"
In this case, it seems that paying an extra bidding fee is not a loss.
Well. You can build more or not, anyway, you need to apply to the government office for approval when you build, and then pay a tax and labor cost.
Of course, Su Yan was thinking this way, but he didn't tell Old Dai now. He first coaxed them into the trap to earn a bidding fee from them, and then slowly fooled these local rich people to spit out some money.
Now that the flowers are damaged, everyone is sad. If we don't trick the landlords into giving us money, can we expect the villagers to give us money as tribute?
Being a county magistrate is too difficult. We have to protect people's livelihood and manage the cleanliness and public security of the city.
These are all silver! If the landlords don't donate, do we expect the Red King to allocate funds?
After Su Yan returned to the government office, he ignored everything and focused on attracting investment, running to the landlords to paint a rosy picture for them and describe a bright future for them.
The stinky ditch and the broken hut were all described as riverside manors.
Chapter 330 Black Dragon Daddy (third update)
"The little guys nowadays are really working hard!"
More than half a month has passed. Sitting in Luoheju, Master Jin has an interesting expression on his face. Looking at the homework of the students from the academy collected by the Red King's army from all over the place, the Red King's complaints rang in his ears.
The academy's outing places are all in the Red King's territory, but some of the academy's students make the Red King feel disgusted.
In just two months, the order of the counties in various places was messed up. The county magistrate should have collected some extra fees from the wealthy merchants in various places, part of which was used for the tribute at the end of the year, part of which was invested in the county, and the remaining part could fall into his own pocket.
Anyway, as long as the wealthy merchants came to the government office to do business, they had to pay a tea fee and a labor fee. The single amount might not be large, but there were many peddlers!
As a result, those young people abruptly pushed the silver away with a righteous look, as if they were some kind of great master in broad daylight. Afterwards, when they found that the government treasury was in deficit, they wrote to the Chiwang Mansion to apply for funding.
Chiwang was so angry that he was shaking all over. I really don’t know what books those guys read. It’s okay that they can’t bear the profits and losses of a city, but now they are licking their faces to ask for city construction funds.
"Hahaha"
Master Jin was all smiles, listening to King Chi complaining about the students in the academy being inactive, learning but not learning, learning some glorious things that caused the city to suffer losses, and also offended the local natives who were willing to pay.
They were happy to fight landlords and natives, but now they don't give money to the government.
Every year, they spend a lot of spirit stones to buy privileges that do not cause public resentment and anger, and also boost the local economy. As a result, as soon as those students came up, they deleted all the privileges they bought with money.
Damn, they are even more unruly than the unruly people!
"There is no need to care about them, and there is no need to allocate funds to them. Let them solve it themselves. If they can't solve it, let the angry people drag them out and beat them up. They should be able to realize that everything in this world is not black and white."
Master Jin spoke to comfort King Chi, and pointed out what King Chi wanted to express in a roundabout way before.
To sum up, Chi Wang's words were that he firmly disagreed with allocating funds to those students. Not only did they not make money, but they also had the nerve to come to him to ask for money and property allocation?
Master Jin agreed without thinking too much. The outing trip to the academy was originally a platform provided by Yongle Academy. The students competed for the victory based on their own abilities. They all said that they were based on their own abilities. How could Master Jin and Chi Wang allocate funds? Clean up the mess caused by those students.
"This report is interesting."
Master Jin raised his hand and threw the homework in his hand in front of Chi Wang for him to browse the contents.
This homework came from Flower City. It was the daily work of Su Yan and his partners in the past half month.
Chi Wang picked up Su Yan's homework and began to flip through it casually. However, the more Chi Wang read, the slower he flipped the book in his hand. He frowned and said, "This guy is really shameless."
In the report written by Su Yan, the words between the lines revealed that he was making up excuses, robbing, and deceiving.
First, in the name of cooperation, he won over the former Hua family and General Bai of the demon clan, then jointly built workshops with the Hua family for reprocessing, and then outsourced the work of flower fields and city security to the demon clan.
