Chapter 1813: Getting bolder
The two masters of the Fan family persuaded their mother, hinted at giving benefits to Guanzhou Cheng, and used both soft and hard tactics to get him to help...
The Fan family promised Guanzhou Cheng a benefit of 200 silver coins a year, and Guanzhou Cheng couldn't help but be tempted.
You know, his annual salary is less than 200 taels...
For him, this was a huge fortune. Moreover, because he had failed in his attempt to instigate the yamen runners to cause trouble, he had lost a lot of money and lost more than half of his family's wealth!
It's when I'm short of money.
The most important thing is that what the Fan family said is correct. He is the governor of the state. As long as he does things properly, Shao Yunduan will not find out. Even if he finds out, he can just make excuses. What can Shao Yunduan do to him?
Guanzhou Cheng gritted his teeth and agreed.
On that day, after sending people to negotiate with the Fan family, Guanzhou Cheng finally reached a unanimous result. The Fan family honestly sent out their housekeeper, and Guanzhou Cheng sent people to thoroughly investigate the fertile land. In the end, it was confirmed that the Fan family had 10,000 acres of fertile land that they had forgotten to register with the government.
The prefect of Guanzhou reported this to Shao Yunduan and he made up the 10,000 acres.
Shao Yunduan took a quick look, nodded his head and ordered Guanzhou Cheng to continue with the work.
With the Fan family as an example, the rest will be much easier.
The Fan family is so stubborn that they almost lost face. Who else can compare with the Fan family?
The Mei family and the Huo family can be compared, but they obviously did not intend to compete from the beginning.
Guanzhou Cheng was very proud and said a lot of nonsense to put down Jia Heming in the provincial government.
Look! What is the use of Jia Heming?
This is what incompetent people do. Instead of getting things done, they get into trouble. Not only do they suffer, but they also cause trouble for those around them...
Jia Heming, who was recovering from his injuries, was very angry.
Guanzhou Cheng became even more proud.
The Fan family also felt that this result was barely acceptable, but in fact they were still very dissatisfied. After all, in the past they only paid a small amount of taxes, but now, even if they concealed tens of thousands of acres, they still had to pay the full 160,000 acres!
This is also a huge sum!
If Lord Shao hadn't been so tough, the Fan family would never have given up so easily.
Now, after all, we have concealed the fact that we have acquired tens of thousands of acres, which can be considered as having saved some face.
The Fan family didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The Shao family had taken such a big piece of meat from the Fan family, so why shouldn't the Fan family keep some of it? Even if he knew about it, he should have turned a blind eye...
Many families knew the actual situation of the Fan family, and when they saw that the Fan family was still hiding something, they were tempted.
Follow suit.
After all, who would complain that they have too much money? The more money you can save, the better. This is not just a matter of one or two years, it's a long-term thing...
Guanzhou Cheng also became bolder. Why not take advantage of this way of making money?
He felt that this was a very proud job he had done!
By the time this matter was settled, it was almost August 15th.
Just in time for the holidays.
Not long after the festival, the autumn harvest will begin.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer just about Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, it is extremely lively.
An An changes every day. Her eyebrows and eyes gradually become more beautiful, white, tender and adorable, especially her pair of beautiful eyes like black grapes. They are so watery and beautiful that they can melt people's hearts when she looks at them.
He is not one month old yet, so we cannot take him to watch the moon, but he can meet some guests.
Zheng Sangge, Song, Miao, Qiaoqiao and others all came to the county government office to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Together with Mianmian, Aye, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Songshi, Lixia, Liqiu, Caiyun and others, it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
