Chapter 687 The benefits of good looks

Zhang Xie readily asked people to move money and grain to pay taxes. Xia Houyan did not move. Seeing that Fu Tinghan also looked unfazed, he asked: "Master Fu, what if I just don't pay?"

Fu Tinghan said: "I have no choice."

Xia Houyan sneered and said: "So this method is for honest people like Jingyang? If you hand over the money, you will lose it, but if you don't hand it over, it will not hurt us? I thought Zhao Jun was going to send troops to arrest and kill those of us who didn't hand over the money." It’s over.”

Fu Tinghan said: "The amount of embezzled taxes is huge, and it is indeed possible to be beheaded, but based on Mr. Xiahou's current family wealth, you will not be able to reach that standard even if you owe it your whole life."

Zhang Xie also became curious, "Then the yamen can't do anything to those who owe taxes?"

Fu Tinghan said with a smile: "That's not true. According to the law, the yamen will make an invitation and two reminders. For example, if you come to the door today, you will make an invitation. If the head of the household still doesn't pay, the yamen will issue an official letter to urge him. If he doesn't pay, he will urge him again."

Zhang Xie asked: "What if I still don't hand it over?"

"That person will be listed as a dishonest person. Not only will an official document be posted to tell the world, but in the future, all household owners who need to go through the Yamen to buy and sell houses, fields and various business qualifications will be damaged. In serious cases, the criminal record will be withheld. If If you keep resisting, you may be arrested and imprisoned." Fu Tinghan said: "However, after this series of operations, it will take three to five years, giving the other party enough time to consider and raise taxes. Zhao Shijun is still very tolerant and generous. ."

Xia Houyan covered his chest, saying that he was tolerant and generous. He could hardly hear the rest of the words. He only heard the first sentence, "I want to post an official document to inform the world."

As a celebrity, who doesn't love fame.

Even if they are not famous people, there is no one in this era who does not love fame, and businessmen also attach great importance to credibility. If they are classified as dishonest people, how can they live in this world?

This is murderous intent!

Xia Houyan stamped his feet and said, "Kill me, Zhao Hanzhang!"

Like Xia Houyan, there are many people who pay their taxes directly because they are afraid of this law, but there are still some people who don't even need to mention this law when they come to collect money.

When he saw Wei Jie sitting respectfully with his eyes downcast, he opened his mouth and the other party immediately agreed. He didn't even look at the bill and directly asked his family to prepare money and food according to the figures reported by Wei Jie.

Who can be willing to let a person like Wei Jie talk about money and food and other sour things?

Therefore, Wei Jie’s collection efficiency is particularly high.

Zhao Erlang and a few others were almost there, but the person who came to the door looked at the young and handsome faces. Although their expressions were not good-looking, they still did not curse.

The old official who was following Zhao Erlang and others, waiting for the count, couldn't help crying secretly.

When they come to collect debts, they often don't see the head of the household, and they are always yelled at. Even though they say the same thing, is it just because they have different identities?

However, the people sent this time did not have any official rank, but were just minor officials working in the county government. They were all young men and girls from Taixue who were sent as interns. They had only one thing in common - they were good-looking.

The old officials glanced at the person who came out to collect money this time, and felt sad in their hearts. Is it because of their good looks?

In the evening of that day, the tax arrears for more than a month were recovered. Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "Sure enough, this era is an era where face is particularly important."

Looking through the history books of various dynasties, basically every important figure has a description of his appearance. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there are especially many and specific descriptions of people's appearance.

In certain dynasties, some people who were granted titles and became prime ministers might not have any description of their appearance, but in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even a slightly famous person would have a large description of his appearance.

She secretly calculated in her mind that basically everyone who was awarded an official position or title was good-looking.

Wang Xing, who is currently working under her, looks extremely ordinary.

Of course, this generally does not mean that he is ugly, but that he looks like an ordinary person. His father, Wang Rong, disliked him very much. Zhao Hanzhang watched him handle government affairs during this period and felt that although he had no poetic talent, he was a very good person. A person who does practical things and is good at managing people.

The reason why such a person is disliked by his father must be because he is not good-looking enough.

Just think about it, if he had Wei Jie's face, even if he didn't have the talent for poetry and was a commoner, he wouldn't be disliked by his father like that.

How much does Wang Rong dislike him?

He only had two sons. The eldest son was killed by him when he was nineteen years old, leaving only the concubine Wang Xing. However, he would rather adopt Wang Xing to his younger brother who died early, and then adopt an heir from the clan to inherit his own. The family business is not willing to be inherited by one's biological son.

Zhao Hanzhang now asked Wang Siniang quietly out of curiosity, "Is it possible that your cousin is not the son of your uncle?"

Wang Siniang also lowered her voice and said: "Of course, although cousin Xing is average in appearance, his eyes are especially beautiful. You can tell he is from my Wang family at the first sight, and his biological mother is also very beautiful."

"Then how did he grow up like this?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Although I have never seen your uncle's appearance when he was young, but as one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, his beauty is far and wide."

Wang Siniang's eyes lit up, and she pulled her and said, "I was also confused about this when I was a child, and then I asked my brother secretly, and he took me to meet cousin Xing's biological uncle."

Zhao Hanzhang: "How?"

"Cousin Xing is a bit like him," Wang Siniang sighed: "His biological mother, Qiao, came from the countryside. After her uncle was brought into the Wang family, the whole family lived under her, so the uncle often looked down on them, and he was disdainful of them. Cousin."

"I didn't think my uncle's move was inappropriate before. I also felt that the whole Qiao family had lost their integrity by relying on their concubine daughter. I didn't want to see such a family again. But after this catastrophe, I saw too many life, separation, and death on the road. Helpless, I know that they have no backbone in doing so, but are they not forced by life?"

"Since you look down on the Qiao family, why do you want them to follow you around and hurt your eyes?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "It is better to buy some fields for them in the countryside and give them some money so that they can live a good life on their own. Wang My mood will be less affected by them, and the relationship between father and son will not be so bad."

Wang Siniang hummed in a low voice: "Uncle is reluctant to part with it, he is very stingy."

Wang Huifeng, who had been lowering his eyes as if he couldn't hear, coughed twice.

Wang Siniang sat up straight in an instant and no longer leaned on Zhao Hanzhang.

Wang Huifeng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Hanzhang, picked up the booklet in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the break time has passed, we should go to class."

Zhao Hanzhang had a headache, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, sir, please speak."

Zhao Hanzhang returned to Chen County and let Wang see that her daughter did not understand her family tree, so she brought her the family tree kept in her ancestral hall and asked her to memorize it.

Zhao Ming accidentally saw her while carrying it.

Zhao Ming suddenly remembered that Zhao's previous teachings to Zhao Hanzhang were still far behind.
