Chapter 426 Su Tai offers suggestions
As the mainstay of the family and a parent, he was beaten by the common people and even had his wife bump into him. Who understands this kind of embarrassment?
Su Tai explained: "I went to Dongmen Village and sent you a rickshaw driver. I didn't know that such a big thing had happened in the county until I met Mr. Li on the way."
Tang then said: "I heard from the servants in the mansion that something happened in the county government. I originally wanted to bring people over to help. Who knew those old guys could instigate so many people? We don't have enough people at home at all." Look, luckily Sister Su is brave and resourceful and has temporarily resolved your crisis.”
Li Li bowed his head and told everyone about Su Tai's feat of throwing money. At the same time, he also did not forget to praise Tang.
The officials in the county government had experienced the storm just now, and they were extremely grateful to Su Tai and Tang. While praising them, they flattered Lu Tong and Shen Yi.
The two of them looked obviously much better.
Lu Tong waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work today. You go back and have a rest first. We will discuss countermeasures later."
The master was worried, "Sir, those people didn't succeed this time, I'm afraid they won't let it go! If there is a bigger battle next time, how can we resist it?"
Li Captou immediately comforted him and said, "Master, don't panic. Those people named Zhu just rolled down the stairs of the teahouse. They were all seriously injured. They seemed to have been injured again when they went out. Now they have all gone out of the city to see the doctor. They all said they were injured." After working together for a hundred days, these people can't get together in a short period of time, so they shouldn't be able to cause any big trouble."
"Really?" All the officials looked at Capt. Li in surprise.
When the troubled people ran to pick up the money, they hurriedly retreated to the Yamen and closed the door. They had no idea that such a big thing had happened in the teahouse.
"When have I ever told such lies? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to inquire. If you want to cause them some more trouble now and make them unable to do anything, our affairs can proceed smoothly." Capt. Li touched his chin and raised his eyebrows. a suggestion.
It was also what Su Tai did just now that reminded him that sometimes you can't use gentleman's methods when dealing with villains.
Lu Tong and others looked at each other awkwardly.
Shen Yi slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, everyone will go back to recover first, and we will discuss it tomorrow."
Wait for all the officials to retreat.
Shen Yicai took a few long breaths and looked at Su Tai with a half-smile, "Daughter-in-law, are you hiding something from me?"
Su Tai raised her eyebrows and snorted proudly.
Mr. Li gave a thumbs up to Shen Yi, "The county magistrate is really powerful! To be honest, it was Mrs. Shen who asked me to trip up those people, but I still haven't figured out how Mrs. Shen is so ignorant." All traces are erased without realizing it.”
Su Tai smiled calmly and said, "Let's not talk about trivial skills. Mr. Li, don't you have something serious to do when you come back?"
Li Captou suddenly realized and patted his head, "Yes, sir, the newly planned main streets of the city have been built. They are more spacious and grand than the city. The people in the county have had a much better life in recent years. Many people who are quick-thinking have I began to inquire about shop prices and intend to purchase them. If the original situation were to go by, more than 80% of the shops on the main street in the city were in the hands of those few companies
Now the houses and shops in the city are to be demolished. Should the shops there be left intact or be compensated? ”
When Lu Tong heard this, he inevitably had another headache, "Shen Yi, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" "I want to see it, and we need to consider it in the long term."
Mrs. Tang muttered: "Does this need to be considered? Is there still money in the county government treasury? If there is no money, if people are willing to buy it, they must sell it first! Those big families are not willing to move out anyway, so you give the shop to them first If you sell it and can't deal with the matter later, you can go to the garrison and the prefect, and it won't hurt if you get a few words. It's the most practical way to get the money."
Lu Tong frowned, feeling helpless, "Madam! If only things were as simple as you think! Those big families are deeply entrenched in the county and are unwilling to move. If you do this, they will get angry and collectively try to hinder us. How can we resist? You know, Zhaohua County relies on them for more than half of its tax revenue!”
Su Tai thought about it carefully and spoke slowly, "My Lord County Magistrate, what do you think of this? Since they are unwilling to move, we will not force them to move. The unowned shops, houses and fields in the new city will be sold to the people as quickly as possible, and The purchase restriction model means that one household can only buy one shop, and one person cannot purchase more than 20 acres of land under his name.
And only people who have moved to the new city can buy it, which can give ordinary people the opportunity to make money. Naturally, those large households in the city who are unwilling to move are not eligible to buy. Even if they protest, it will be ineffective. At this time, they have only two choices.
Either move there immediately and still qualify for purchase, or hold on until the end. Now that there are a few serious injuries, it is not that easy to carry out a large-scale conspiracy. There must be someone who cannot bear to compromise.
If you use profit to disintegrate this ragtag group, and then break it one by one, the last remaining piece of strong bones will only be isolated and helpless, stubbornly resisting. ”
"Hiss!" Lu Tong took a breath of air and looked at Su Tai in amazement, "Wonderful! This move of my brothers and sisters is indeed feasible! Brother Shen, let's discuss it carefully, I think"
Lu Tong pulled Shen Yi towards the study.
Su Tai and Tang Shi were left staring at each other with big eyes.
Tang immediately ran up to Su Tai and looked at her with admiration, "Sister Su, how do you think you got such a brain? Sister, why can't I think of such a good way! You can teach me more in the future, they are busy. I’m afraid I can’t take care of us when I get up, why don’t I go to my sister’s house to sit there?”
Su Tai looked at the sky outside. It was impossible to go back today. The city was now desolate, and the only people left behind were people from all walks of life. It was not safe, so leaving with the Tang family was the best choice.
She nodded meekly, stood up and bowed, "Then I'll bother Sister Tang."
The Lu family residence is not far from the county government office. Compared with the grand Zhu Mansion, the Lu Mansion has a rich aroma of books and ink that has been accumulated over time. The furnishings in the mansion are simple but not simple, much like Lu Tong's taste.
Tang led her into the main courtyard, then called her three children over to present Su Tai, and ordered the cook to make dinner.
Su Tai saw that she managed the inner house in an orderly manner, which was considered to be a gain of experience.
Tang praised her for being smart.
She said: "Sister Tang, please stop talking. Now that I have seen your housekeeping skills, I really admire you. To be honest, my family just bought twenty servants. Although I asked someone to help train me, there are many things I don't know what to do myself.
Fortunately, Shen Yi doesn't care, and I can live a comfortable life. The only thing that gives me a headache is the child.
It's okay for men, but women have to get married. If she can't manage the housekeeper well, she herself will feel uncomfortable. So I would like to ask Sister Tang how to teach her children to be housekeepers? ”
