Go back to ancient times to engage in sideline business

After the city gate was locked, Tang Zhong was holding a brush, thinking about writing a slogan for Dayi Gate.If they're not ready, post their own!

After all, after collecting 100 taels of silver, the necessary supporting services still have to be done well.

"Bang!" The gate of the city tower was kicked open, and the cold night wind rushed in, and Tang Zhong subconsciously shrank back.

"Tang Zhong! What tricks are you up to!"

Hu Tou'er rushed in angrily. If there was not a table between Tang Zhong and Tang Zhong, he would have grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

If he was not there for a day, something serious happened at the East City Gate. If his wife hadn't ordered him to wash the dishes before he was allowed to go out, he would have rushed over to teach this ignorant subordinate a lesson.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Li hid in the room with a wink.His way of doing things is not to get involved in any right and wrong.

Tang Zhong knew that Zhao Li was a man of firm principles.

Always stand firmly with your immediate boss.

At this time, if you don't come over with a rope and tie yourself up, it's already a shame.

"Look, Hutouer, this is the money we earned at the East City Gate!"

As he spoke, Tang Zhong brought out a wooden tray from behind, covered with a red cloth.He slowly lifted the red cloth as if lifting his hijab, revealing two solid silver ingots and two copper coins lying on the tray.

Seeing Hu Tou'er's reaction, he deeply felt what it means to be open-eyed when he sees money.

Just now he was still very angry, but when he saw the real money, Hu Touer, a rough guy who couldn't stand the test of money, immediately changed his face.

He has been struggling with money for several days, and now his heart seems to be blown by a soft wind, and his anger is also gone with the wind.

"Here is 100 taels and two wen, please keep it with Mr. Hu."

The advertising fees of the two restaurants are all here.

Hu Tou'er couldn't believe it, and pointed at himself after a long time, "Give it all to me?"

Before coming from home, I only heard from the maid next to my wife that there was a thin city gate guard at the east gate, who collected money with great fanfare at the gate.

Taking advantage of his absence, he wanted to make troubles, quite rampant!

It's just that I didn't expect to earn a whole 100 taels!

He picked up two ingots of silver, held them in his hands and looked at them repeatedly, his face beaming with intoxication.

He spends all his money throughout the year, and his salary is only a dozen or so taels. This is the money he can save for seven or eight years without eating or drinking!

Don't look at Hu Tou'er's usual one-sidedness at the East City Gate, and how many people he has under his command, but in real terms, he is a petty official who doesn't even have a rank, and he doesn't even deserve the imperial salary.

All his salary comes from the county government's public account.If there is more money in the public account, he will get more. If there is less money in the public account, he has to lead the whole family to tighten their belts together.

This year, the higher-ups have strictly checked, and the money in the county government's account was used by the magistrate Lin to make up for several shortfalls, and there is not much left.

The yamen implements a dual-track system for payment of salary and silver, with monthly payment and a new year's payment at the end of the year.

At this time in previous years, the New Year's money has already been handed out.

This year, not to mention the yearly money, even the monthly money has been in arrears for two months!

The family's expenses for the past two months have all been assisted by his father-in-law, causing his wife to belittle him several times overtly and secretly, saying that he is soft.

How can he eat soft food like a tough guy in Qingjiang!

"You mean, all the money belongs to me?"

Hutouer confirmed again, but he held on tightly, with an attitude of not letting go.

Tang Zhong was stunned, "This is the income from the advertising space of Dongcheng Gate, which should be included in the public account of the Dongcheng Gate Guards, and you will have full authority to distribute it to you, Mr. Hu! However, the prefect of Lin may..."

He was a little worried. After all, this was the first time this happened in Qingjiang County. Sooner or later, the prefect of Lin would send someone to inquire, or even find a reason to confiscate it. He had to come up with a proper answer in advance.

"I know, I know."

Hu Touer's eyes are full of money at this time, so he doesn't care about using his brain.

Tang Zhong watched him happily put two ingots of ingots into the purse on his waist, and deeply doubted whether there was such a thing as the public account of the Dongcheng Gate Guards.

Early the next morning, Zhao Li, who came back after receiving breakfast, stood on the city wall, staring into the distance with his neck stretched out.

"I'm coming!"

With good eyesight, he hurriedly reported to the people in the tower.

"several?"

"A team of people! The leader is... Linzhi County!"

"What? He came in person?"

The two people in the tower were shocked.If it's not an important matter, how can you usually see Linzhi County in person?

When Hutouer woke up, his mind was finally much clearer.He was worried that the silver that hadn't been warmed up would fly away like this, so he quickly reminded Tang Zhong who was busy.

"I'll have to talk back in a while, don't make any mistakes."

"No, if you come to Lin Zhi County, the previous preparations are not enough! Besides, I'm afraid you need to answer Hu Touer yourself."

"What? What can I do?"

Right now, the county government is short of money, and the county magistrate is clearly coming to grab the money, how can he stop it?

Lin Zhixian led a team of yamen servants, and came to the east gate in a mighty way.

The east gate is not as rich as the west gate, and there are many beggars and refugees, so he doesn't come here often.

Climbing up the steps and climbing the city wall, when he looked up, he saw Hu Bingyi, leading the city gate guards, waiting respectfully at the end of the stairs.

"Welcome welcome, warm welcome!"

Hu Tou'er roared angrily, and the three gate guards behind him immediately clapped their hands together.

Lin Zhixian thought it was a secret signal, and was so frightened that he hurried to lean behind the yamen servant.

Wait a moment, nothing happens...

Lin Zhixian settled down, stood up again with his hands behind his back, and straightened his airs.

"Some people said that last night..."

"The wind is too strong on the city wall, please move to the city tower, magistrate!"

Hu Touer grabbed the white, made a gesture of please, and took the initiative to go to the front to lead the way.

After almost all the people behind followed, Hu Tou'er deliberately slowed down and stood at the gate of the tower, but refused to go in.

The county magistrate was about to urge him to go faster, when he raised his head, he saw a row of crappy characters on the door frame like burning fire sticks: "Welcome to the county magistrate Mr. Lin to guide the work in Dongcheng Tower!"

"What, what does this mean?"

He had never seen such a battle before. Lin Zhixian couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the city gate guards were selling in their gourds. Relying on his intuition after being an official for many years, he raised his vigilance.

"The county magistrate is busy with government affairs, and it is rare to personally inspect and guide the work. We are very excited at the east gate, and we are hereby welcome."

Which one is singing that weird accent?

Forget it, don't go into the house, so as not to make other moths, just make a long story short at the door.

Lin Zhixian turned around, and Yishui's yamen servants lined up behind him consciously, reorganizing their official authority.

"I received a report from the common people, saying that someone at Dongchengmen pretended to be the government and posted notices privately, intending to collect money. Is it true?"

Come up without saying a word, first accuse him of a crime to scare him, and force him to submit.This is the routine used by Linzhi County.

"Are you all dumb? Hu Bingyi answered! But there is such a thing!"

If it was normal, Hu Tou'er would have clasped his fists together, and said everything in one go, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

But now, in order to keep the 100 taels in his waist as much as possible, he stabilized his position and replied according to the words Tang Zhong taught earlier.

"Return to your lord, which bird man did the shit, the subordinates must confront him face to face!"

Who are you beating around the bush?

Lin Zhixian suffered from being dumb, and shook his sleeves angrily, "Then tell me, what's going on!"

"My lord, in order to manage Qingjiang County, you have worked so hard, you got up earlier than chickens, and went to bed later than dogs, in exchange for the prosperity of all businesses in the city. These subordinates know it best. But recently, there are people from other places The shameless villain said that our Qingjiang County is so poor that no bird can shit, and the subordinates will get angry when they hear it!"

"Therefore, my subordinates took advantage of the convenience of pedestrians at the east gate to set up an advertising space at the gate. First, let outsiders see that Qingjiang County is under the governance of Mr. Lin, and there are some rich and powerful merchants. Second, second. yes……"

Second, what is it?Mr. Hu's mind was not developed very carefully, just now Tang Zhong taught a long paragraph temporarily, and he memorized it all, but he really couldn't remember the next few sentences.

"Secondly, [-]% of the income can also be charged to the county government's public account to subsidize the county government's daily expenses."

Tang Zhong stepped forward, nodding his head and cupping his fists, filling in what he hadn't finished.

Hu Touer: What?Fifty percent?It was clearly stated earlier that only a little bit will be divided!

Linzhi County: What?Only [-]%?Will you dismiss me as a beggar?

Both of them looked at Tang Zhong together, with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Tang Zhong didn't panic, and continued to recite the speech he had prepared: "After the Dongcheng Gate, we plan to open more advertising spaces and develop other ways to generate income. The current hundred taels of silver is just a preliminary income."

"If Linzhi County thinks that [-]% is inappropriate, or thinks that this behavior is inappropriate, the subordinates will immediately take down the advertisement at the city gate, return all the money they get, and warn all businesses in the city to keep a low profile in the future, and don't let your parents judge you again. Difficult."

The city gate and the county government split the bills [-]-[-], so no one should feel at a disadvantage. This is Tang Zhong's biggest concession to Linzhi County.

Lin Zhixian clenched his fists tightly in the wide sleeves of his official uniform.The first half of the sentence is drawing a big cake, but in the second half, it clearly means smashing the pot if you don't let them eat!

"Where did this person come from, go and find out!" Zhixian Lin turned his face and whispered to the yamen servant behind him.

"My lord, his name is Tang Zhong, and he is the hereditary city gate guard previously appointed by the lord of Futai. If you touch him, I'm afraid it will reach the ears of lord Futai..."

"Who said I'm going to touch him!"

Lin Zhixian gritted his teeth, gave the yamen servant a hard look, turned around, and changed into a friendly look.

"Tang Zhong, right? I have the impression that he is the only hereditary gate guard in Qingjiang County!"

"Master Futai knows people well, and you are indeed qualified for the job of the city gate guard. Well, because you want to share my worries and do things for the county government, I will explain the report to the people. As for What kind of advertising space is that, you can figure it out."

"Master is wise!"

Lin Zhixian had to go back immediately on the pretext that the yamen still had official business. Just as he walked down the stairs, Hu Bingyi yelled again behind his back in a gong-like voice.

"Farewell, farewell, warm farewell!"

Where did you learn the tone of the barren accent?I'm afraid I'm sick!

Lin Zhixian was in a bad mood. He thought that with Hu Bingyi's elm brain, he could easily collect all the money from Dongchengmen in the future, but he didn't expect to hit a soft nail.

The boy surnamed Tang, who flipped the table if he disagreed with him, was really hard to handle.If you want to get more wool from the East City Gate, you have to make another plan.

"boom!"

There were a few strange noises behind him, and Lin Zhixian was shocked again, and even the general's belly shook a few times.

Looking back following the sound, I saw a few red cloths hanging down from the wall of the East City Gate, all of which were several feet long and two feet wide, with words written all over them.

"Qingjiang is my home, everyone loves it!"

"Pay food on time, don't be a hooligan!"

"Bring more children and pay more gifts, everyone will walk on the road to happiness!"

Lin Zhixian saw the above content clearly word by word, adding children, paying food, and handing in taxes are all his most troublesome problems in performance evaluation.

Three slogans, every sentence shouted to his heart.

What is it called?Just hit a wall, and immediately give a candy?
