"Why, are you in trouble?" Luo Zining pretended to be aggrieved and said, "We just came here, and we don't know the place well. You are the only person the prince knows. The prince has always regarded you as a friend. You are the onlyIf all the friends don’t give the prince New Year gifts, the prince will be sad to death.”

Prefect: "..." How could there be such a shameless person!

Luo Zining continued to sigh: "My lord is sick, and I don't even want to eat something good. It would be great if the magistrate could send some cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish."

Prefect: "???"

Luo Zining suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard that there are ginseng, pilose antler, and ganoderma in the mountains here. The magistrate will send some to the prince. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the magistrate also wants the prince to be healthy.Let's finish this year."

The magistrate was afraid that Luo Zining's words would get more outrageous, so he hurriedly said, "It's not easy for me to be an official. I really can't help it this time. I want to borrow some money from the prince..."

"What? Are you still human? The prince is too sick to take medicine, and you still want to borrow money from the prince?" Luo Zining covered his face and pretended to cry.

The magistrate was stunned, and the master at the side did not forget the purpose of his visit, and said for the magistrate: "I heard that the princess sold a piece of wasteland to the Cheng family a few days ago? How come there is no money?"

"I didn't sell it, the prince wanted to sell it. How can I have the right to sell the land, don't you think so?" Luo Zining looked panicked, as if telling them that he was lying.

Seeing this, the magistrate said to himself that it was true, that the princess sold the land behind the prince's back, and now that the prince sold the land, the prince is also useless.

But he would not sympathize with the prince, instead he gloated, thinking what about the royal relatives, what about the god of war, he was bullied by a despicable villain.

The magistrate: "I heard that the princess bought a brick factory a while ago, and she still needs to recruit workers. If she has money to open a brick factory, but doesn't have the money to see a doctor for the prince? Wouldn't the princess prefer to take the money to open a brick factory and use the money for herself?Don't give the prince a doctor."

"I saw a doctor for the prince, but the root cause was the air leak in the house where the prince lived. I don't open a brick factory. Where can I build a house with bricks for the prince to live in? I sold the land to the Cheng family for a total of two hundred taels, and bought a brick factory for one hundred taels.", One hundred taels to buy medicine for the prince, I didn’t leave any money, and you still slander me, I want to write to the emperor to sue you, saying that you insulted the princess.” Luo Zining became angry and pattedGet off the table.

Two hundred taels?The magistrate did not expect such a large piece of Luo Zining to be sold for two hundred taels!Big loss!

The magistrate: "I also want to go up to the emperor, saying that the princess is selling the land under the banner of the prince."

"You go, see if the emperor will ignore you because of these two hundred taels." Luo Zining stood up straight and looked at him with an expression that I didn't pretend anymore, "Maybe the emperor will feel annoyed and demote youofficial."

The magistrate is also beating his heart, the prince has the right to deal with the wasteland of the fief, the princess will bite to death and say that the prince agreed, and the emperor will not come all the way to settle the case for him, maybe he will really think that he went to sue because of two hundred taelsVery annoying.

If someone under him usually bothered him with trivial matters, he would definitely kick that person first.

The emperor really wants him to monitor the prince's every move, but what the emperor wants to see is the prince's downfall.The majestic god of war is being ridden by the princess. Not only will the emperor not trouble the princess, but he may also appreciate what the princess has done and encourage her to continue.

And even if the prince sold this land, the emperor will not punish him, as long as the prince will not rebel, the emperor will not care what he wants to do in the fief.

On the contrary, he might upset the emperor, maybe he will be replaced, and someone who will do his best will come over to take his place and monitor the prince.

But he was not reconciled to being overwhelmed by Luo Zining like this, so he had to find a way to gain the upper hand again.

Before he could speak, Luo Zining spoke first.

Luo Zining: "If I were you, I would be overjoyed. I have helped you earn so much money. Not only did you not thank me, you even threatened me."

"What do you say?" The magistrate held his breath, thinking that you took advantage and acted like a good boy.

"I sold the land to Boss Cheng and asked him to open a winery. The winery can raise taxes when it makes money. You have embezzled tax money these years, haven't you?" Seeing that he was about to retort, Luo Zining said with a smile: "You don't need to explain, I know your business well, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, the Holy Majesty naturally doesn't know how much money you have been greedy for, but now that the prince is here, all taxes here will belong to the prince, if you dare to be greedy, the prince will not let you go, but I will definitely stop you when I see you as old friends, so how about it, we will pay 28% of the tax in the future, and you will pay 28% of the tax."

The magistrate drank the wine sold by Boss Cheng's house before, and he also knew how well this business would do. If it was someone else's business, he would have snatched the secret recipe and made it himself, but the local power of the Cheng family is not easy to mess with.It's okay to ask for a little more money every year. If stealing the secret recipe cut off their family's livelihood and pushed people into a hurry, the Cheng family would really risk their lives to kill him.

If he's dead, what's the use of the emperor even if he sends someone to arrest and behead Cheng's family?Everyone else is dead and can't enjoy anything, so he only takes money from the Cheng family and never suppresses the Cheng family.

He was also excited when he heard the princess talk about taxation now. He sold a lot of wine and paid a lot of taxes, so he could earn a lot.

Although he was greedy in the past, he still had to pay taxes to his superiors, and he could only get half of it, but now, it’s not as much as he says, and when the time comes, he will give the princess three melons and two dates at will, and it will be said to be two or eight points.Even if the princess is dissatisfied, what can she do with him?

"Yes." The magistrate readily agreed.

"Just agree, and make up for the New Year gift when you come back next time." Luo Zining looked at him from head to toe, "Everyone knows what kind of person each other is, so there's no need to pretend, don't come in ragged clothes.”

"Your officer knows." The magistrate said, turned around and walked away happily. After leaving the door, he felt that something was wrong. Didn't he come to settle accounts with Luo Zining?Why in the end not only did he not explain the matter of the land sale, but he also had to share the tax money with the princess, and also gave the princess a new year gift?He was lowered by the princess just now?

After the magistrate left, Zhao Xiaoyu said beside Luo Zining indignantly: "Do you really want to give him 20%? That dead old man tortured our people to death, and even disrespected you, the princess. If you give him 20%?Compromising will only fuel his arrogance and make him go too far in the future."

"It's not 20%, he probably will take 90%, or even more." Luo Zining had just arrived here, and his foundation was not stable. He had no one, no power, no power, and it was impossible to fight against the magistrate.

All he is doing now is to make the magistrate mistakenly think that he has nothing to do with the winery, and now his goal has been achieved.

But he can't take it lightly. The existence of the prefect prevents him from doing things freely, so he has to find a way to solve this difficulty.

In the original text, it was Zhao Xiaoyu who killed the magistrate. Now Zhao Xiaoyu definitely can’t kill the magistrate. don’t know if his time travel will change the direction of the future plot.come over.

It would be great if he could come to be the magistrate, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease with anyone else.

The original owner was the number one scholar and was an official in the Imperial Academy. It would be great if the emperor could remove the prefect and replace him with him, but it might be more difficult than sending Zhao Xiaoyu to sneak into the prefect's house and kill him.

He scratched his head, "Forget it, don't think about it for now, the matter in front of me is settled, let's be happy for a while, and let's talk about it after the New Year."

He got up and went back, and when he turned around, he saw Huo Lingzhi who came over at some point.

Huo Lingzhi came here by himself, Chen Bo was not by his side, and he didn't know how long he had been here.

Luo Zining went over to help him push the wheelchair back, deliberately jokingly said: "If we don't see each other for a while, husband will miss me?"

"Is this the way you said?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.

"Originally, he must have taken 10% of the money, but now he can save some tax for us, isn't it good." Luo Zining pushed him back, and it was snowing outside again, and the atmosphere was like being in an idol drama, Luo Zining quickly threw this strange idea out of his mind, and continued, "And I told him that the business of the winery is good and the tax revenue will be high. He won't go to the winery to make trouble, as long as the winery can make money,Let him pay that little tax."

Although the matter was resolved, Huo Lingzhi felt that his method was a bit aggrieved. He knew that the magistrate was a corrupt official of the common people, but they couldn't do anything.If you don't let your hands and feet go, the people in the fief will never have a good life, so it's better to kill them and replace them with obedient ones."

"Kill it? No, no, lord, don't be impulsive. If you kill him, the emperor will definitely feel that you are plotting something, so you have to kill his eyeliner. We must not do anything to attract the emperor's attention." Luo ZiNing thought that the magistrate's death must be reasonable and had nothing to do with them.

"I have an idea!" Luo Zining quickly closed his mouth after speaking excitedly, and found Huo Lingzhi looking at him, he said nervously: "The method I just thought of is not good, it's a bit naive, so I don't want to talk about it."

He held back a smile and pushed Huo Lingzhi back, planning in his heart that he could write a letter to the emperor, saying that the magistrate was the prince's man, and he would kill the magistrate with the emperor's sword, but he couldn't say this to Huo Lingzhi, becauseHis identity as the emperor's eyeliner cannot be revealed yet.
