The establishment of the Department of Commerce has caused an uproar in Lantian County!
Businessmen have been talking about the new business tax ratio, and most of them are opposed to it. After all, it used to be one out of thirty. Now it is one out of six. This has directly doubled five times. Hard to accept!
However, there are also a small number of businessmen who agree with it. The main reason is that while the government has increased the business tax ratio, it has also improved the social status of businessmen and spent money to buy recognition. This is quite cost-effective in the eyes of those long-sighted businessmen!
Among other things, the preferential policy of allowing businessmen's children to study in county schools alone is enough to offset the increased business tax! Whether in modern times or in ancient times, when one of your parents is not a prospect, reading is a good opportunity to get ahead, but when the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, business and industry began to rise, businessmen have always been despised. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the children of businessmen were not allowed to study or study Participating in the imperial examination completely blocked the future of the businessman's children!
Now Lantian County regards the merchants as commoners equal to the farmers, and allows the children of merchants to enter the county school to study. This county school was rebuilt after Li Zexuan entered Lantian County and spent a lot of manpower and material resources. The courses set in it , Infinitely close to the engineering taught by Yanhuang Academy, that is to say, students from the county school are more likely to be admitted to Yanhuang Academy than outside students!
This is undoubtedly a deadly temptation for those businessmen who hope to win their lives!
In addition, if only from the perspective of money gains and losses, although the new business tax law requires merchants to pay more business taxes, the government is willing to protect the legal property of merchants. That is to say, what they need to meet the gangsters in the future. In the case of protection fees, businessmen can request the Department of Commerce to come forward to rectify them. In this way, the businessmen in Lantian County actually have not increased their monthly expenditures, but may decrease! It is equivalent to handing over the protection fees to the ruffians and hooligans to the Department of Commerce, the official agency that manages businessmen!
However, many people have doubts about the government's determination to clean up and rectify the rogue!
This is the reason why most merchants are unwilling to support the new business tax law!
The strange thing is that the government seems to know what the merchants are thinking.
In the afternoon, a large number of Lantian county government officials arrested them. Under the leadership of more than ten Yongan Houfu guards, they left the county government and went straight to Taikang Fang in the southwest of the county seat. The reason was that there was a merchant newspaper official in the city today. It is said that he encountered a local ruffian named Lai San who came to blackmail for protection money!
At the same time, all the gates on all sides of Lantian County were closed, allowing only entry and no exit. Combined with the rapid arrest of the county government, the answer was ready to come out. As the saying goes, the skynet is restored, with negligence but not leakage. Under Li Zexuan’s instruction, what The county magistrate finally issued an order to wipe out all the "dark" evil forces in Lantian County today!
As for closing the Sifang city gates, it is just to catch turtles in the urn and prevent the ruffians from escaping the city!
"General Liu, Lai San’s detailed Sun has already figured it out. He is the subordinate of Taikang Fang Jin Wanbiao. This Jin Wanbiao had been a soldier in the early years. He was good at making swords and sticks, and he was a ruthless character. He has five men. A dozen gangsters were working for him, and they claimed to be the Jinshi Gang.
In the past, Jinshibang relied on helping out-of-town merchants to collateralize their goods, but since the number of merchants in Lantian County has increased, Jin Wanbiao has focused on the fatty meat of the city square in the city, and regularly sends people to the south of the city every month. All the merchants on the street charge protection fees. If anyone fails to pay, he will come to the door every other way to make trouble, making it impossible for people to do business!
If there is a merchant to report to the official, his retaliatory method will be more severe, ranging from hitting people to more serious, sending someone to set fire to his shop. A few months ago, a cloth shop in the city was flooded by Jin Wanbiao. The man did it! "
Sun Qing, the head catcher of Lantian County, walked by Liu Feng's side. While walking forward, he cautiously reported to Liu Feng about the forces behind Lai San.
Since learning that Li Zexuan intends to expand the recruitment of three government officials and take a heavy blow to rectify the public security and business environment in Lantian County, Sun Butou has begun to seriously investigate the source of the disaster in Shifang, just to wait for this day!
"Huh! Such villainous villains who use force to commit crimes and bully are not worthy of being called a soldier of the Datang Palace!!"
After listening to Sun Qing's narration, Liu Feng couldn't help but snorted, and then wondered: "This Jin Wanbiao has been doing evil for so many years, can He County magistrate have nothing to do with him?"
Sun catching his head smiled bitterly: "General Liu, you don't know that these people under Jin Wanbiao's mouth are very stiff. Even if they are held by us, they will firmly refuse to admit that they are instigated by Jin Wanbiao! And Jin Wanbiao himself also. He is so cunning that he will not leave others with a handle when doing bad things. Without proof, the county government can't take people casually! Because it is said that one of Jin Wanbiao's good brothers is Zuo Wuwei's captain!"
"What's the fear of a Captain Zuo Wuwei?"
Liu Feng glared angrily, with a little disdain on his face, thinking that he was also a commander of the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard was the personal guard of the emperor, and he had his own pride. Naturally, he would not let go of Zuo Wuwei’s captain. In his eyes, after a pause, Liu Feng said:
"Before he came, Lord Hou had confessed to the general that as long as it is for the people who have caused trouble in Lantian County, they can also be directly grabbed without evidence. After returning to the trial, they must return a Haiqinghe banquet in Lantian County. If there are criminals who dare to resist, they will all be killed!"
"Compliance~!"
After the words fell, the more than ten guards of the Hou Mansion who followed Liu Feng, led them loudly.
At this time, Sun Catcher could clearly feel that the surrounding air had become a little bit colder! murderous look! This is murderous!
They have been arresting their heads in the Yamen for more than ten years. Although they have seen dead people, they have not experienced killing many times in total. Naturally, they are far inferior to Liu Feng. The Forbidden Army coming out!
"Boss! Boss! It's not good! People from the county government have killed here~!"
In Taikangfang in the southwest of Lantian County, a small hurriedly ran into a compound, and said anxiously to the scar-faced man who was holding Mei Ji and taking the cold under the tree.
"what?"
Hearing the words, the scar-faced big man pushed Miki away from his arms, stood up with a "swish", looked at the little bastard, and said, "You mean the county government's arrest is coming to us soon? Which one doesn't open his eyes? The dog stuffed us complained to the county government? Check it out and burned his shop~!"
This scarred face is Jin Wanbiao, who also fought as Guo Fubin, but he retreated from the barracks because of a leg injury. At first, he had a relatively difficult life. Later, he realized that he had a good suit with his fierce appearance. In martial arts, helping some vendors to collateralize goods can also make a lot of money, so they called up a few thugs who knew martial arts to start the business together! This is a bit like a dart board for later generations!
But people’s greed can never be satisfied. Jin Wanbiao later found out that the business was too slow to get money, so he started a business of looking for merchants to collect protection fees. In his opinion, this business is actually nothing like helping others to goods before. Both are to allow businessmen to spend money to ensure safety!
A few months ago, Lantian County held a football league, and various shops opened like mushrooms. Lantian County became the most prosperous city among the counties surrounding Chang'an City. Jin Wanbiao saw the "business opportunity" from it and brought a group of kids, all Settled in Lantian County and started collecting protection fees at designated locations!
Relying on his fierce behavior, he quickly made a pot of gold, and the place of his settlement was changed from the original ruined courtyard to the current luxurious mansion, and he could be served by his wife and concubines. , Makes Jin Wanbiao feel that he is on the "peak of life"!
He did not know that his "peak of life" was actually a dead end!
The little said with a bitter face, "Boss, it's not just a county government official, I think there are more than a dozen martial arts masters around Sun Catchhead. Look at the clothes, it seems to be the guards of the Hou Mansion!"
"Hou Mansion Guards!!"
Jin Wanbiao's face turned pale in an instant. Although he believed he had a bit of martial arts, but this little skill can usually bully the ordinary people, and it can be used against the Guards of the Hou Mansion. That is not enough!
After all, he also knew that many of the guards of the Hou Mansion came from the Imperial City Guards, and Jin Wanbiao was not arrogant enough to dare to confront the Guards head-on!
"Withdraw~! Withdraw quickly!"
Jin Wanbiao's face changed, and he made a decision in his heart in an instant. He ran into the house and hugged all his wealth, a box of Tang Yuan, in his arms, ready to seize the door and flee!
In other words, he must also be grateful to Li Zexuan for introducing Tang Yuan and replacing copper coins. Otherwise, his current net worth, if it is changed to copper coins, he will not be able to pull more than a dozen cars. If he is replaced with gold, it is probably enough for him to move. It is absolutely impossible to run away with money in a short time!
"Heh! Our big gang leader, where are you going to go?"
Coincidentally, just when Jin Wanbiao was about to run away, Liu Feng took Sun Butou and the others and broke into the door directly, watching Jin Wanbiao holding a red sandalwood box, Liu Feng said with a joke.
But when Liu Feng entered Taikangfang, he found a wretched man who saw them and ran to the yard here. He guessed that the man might have reported a letter to Jin Wanbiao, so he quickly ordered to speed up. Jin Wanbiao arrived before he fled!
"Enclose it all~! No fly is allowed to let go~!"
Sun Butou waved his hand at the officials behind him and shouted loudly.
Nowadays, the county government’s three squads have expanded to 180 people, which is more than three times more than the previous fifty or so people. This time he brought more than one hundred people in full, plus With the masters of the imperial army brought by Liu Feng, "squeezing the battle" next to him, today Sun Cato confronted Jin Wanbiao and these people, and finally he was full of confidence~!
"...! This general and Sun catch his head, what do you mean? Jin Mouxiang is abiding by the law and has never done anything evil. Why did you bring so many people here?"
In a blink of an eye, all the Jinshi Gang in the yard were surrounded by yamen armed with swordsmen. Jin Wanbiao couldn't help his face turning white. He stubbed his neck and looked calmly at Sun Butou and said to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng never put a small role like Jin Wanbiao in his eyes from beginning to end, let alone explain anything to Jin Wanbiao. He coldly said: "The Jinshi gang is suspected of disrupting Lantian County’s public order and extorting protection fees from merchants. Take everyone down and them back to the county office for trial! If there are any rebels, please! Kill! Don’t! Comment!"
The four words "Killing not to mention" came out of Liu Feng's mouth, which looked exceptionally vigorous and extremely cold!
The gangsters in the yard are bullying and fearful of hardship. Have you ever seen a murderous person like Liu Feng, and felt that the surrounding air suddenly became cold, and the Jinshi Gang’s gangs were all scared to pee with weapons in their hands. He quickly put down his weapons, and those without weapons quickly raised his hands and knelt down to beg for mercy!
Jin Wanbiao couldn’t help being angry when he saw his subordinates so soft, but it’s not the time for him to lose his temper until now. He looked at Liu Feng and asked,
This general, the Jinshi Gang has always abided by the rules and the law, even if there are extreme ones. If someone else violates the law and discipline, the general will just arrest those who violate the law. Why do you want to arrest all of us? You want to arrest us all without proof, you... Wrong~!"
It is wrong for you to do this!
Even though they knew that this was a very serious occasion, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh when they heard such a sentence from Jin Wanbiao's mouth!
Brother, you are a rogue leader and gang boss, how can you say such silly things?
Jin Wanbiao also realized at this time that he was in a hurry~EbookFREE.me~ said something that shouldn't be said, and his face turned red like a monkey butt!
Liu Feng forced a smile, sullen his face, and snorted coldly: "I was going to want to arrest you. Why do you need evidence? If you are not convinced, you will be determined by the county magistrate after you go to the county jail! Now, you will either follow me, Either die, you have no choice!"
overbearing!
Only then did Jin Wanbiao realize that someone was even more domineering and unreasonable than him! When a bully meets someone who is more domineering than him, the taste is not too sour!
"...The general calms down, and Jin will go back with you!"
Jin Wanbiao gritted his teeth. He struggled for a while. He wanted to violently resist several times, but in the end he defeated the impulse with reason, because he understood very well that if the situation is stubbornly resisting, it is really no different from looking for death. It's better to go back to the county office, after all, the crime on his body is not enough to be a capital crime!
"Huh! Bundle it all up and take it away~!"
Liu Feng snorted coldly, let go of his hand on the handle of the knife, and cast a look at Jin Wanbiao that "calculate you!"
"Yes! General Liu!"
A group of government officials quickly took out the ropes they had prepared long ago, and began to tie up these Jinshi Gang gangs.
"Sun catches head, who is the next target?"
After arranging more than 30 government officials to the Jinshi Gang back to the county government, Liu Feng looked at Sun Qing and asked lightly.
"General Liu, the next target is the Canghai Gang. Their leader is Hai Xiaotian, who is in charge of the collection of protection fees for shops on Shifang North Street..."
"Go! Go to Canghai Gang~!"
