Chapter 157 The proud Zhao Shiwen
The next day.
The news that the Taxation Department was established and recruiting people throughout the city spread throughout the city, even in the outer city.
It is said that the Taxation Department is directly under the real person and is on the same level as the City Lord's Palace. It has a high position and a generous salary. Once selected as the Taxation Department, even the Foundation Establishment monks will give him face.
At the same time as the Taxation Department was established, there was also a new Shangyang City Tax Code.
Master Danyang's inaction-based management was extensive management. At most, he collected spiritual energy taxes. As for other profits, he relied on monopoly.
After all, the dignified Jin Dan Zhenren still competes with a group of foundation-building monks and minor Qi practitioners for profit, which really damages the real person's image.
This is also the reason why Shangyangfang City’s business is not good and its popularity is not strong.
But Yuxian is different.
Real people want face, but he has no shame.
In front of the shiny spiritual stone, a little philistine image is nothing, the benefits in hand are the most important.
So the new Shangyang City Tax Code lists hundreds of different tax items. The most important thing is that the last page is to be continued, and the right of interpretation belongs to the Taxation Department.
This means that whenever he thinks of a new project, he can continue to collect money.
The day after the new tax code is issued.
Yu Xian's Taxation Department welcomed the first batch of candidates.
The office of the Taxation Department is right next to the City Lord's Mansion, and the great City Lord Xiao can be summoned for military support at any time.
…
This day.
Tax Division.
Zhao Shiwen was wearing a black uniform made overnight by the Taxation Department, which highlighted her good figure. She stood at the door with an indifferent expression, blocking a large group of enthusiastic applicants at the foot of the steps.
At her feet, there was the ghost tiger who was brought in to act as a house-guarding beast. At this moment, it was rare for him to put away his lazy demeanor. The tiger's eyes were cold, and his dark pupils were glowing.
Although Zhao Shiwen was only at the eighth level of Qi training, she showed no fear when faced with a group of family elites led by foundation-building monks. Instead, she seemed a bit condescending.
"I am Zhao Shiwen, deputy director of the Taxation Department. Now that the Taxation Department is established, only twenty-four people will be recruited in the first batch.
This recruitment will be strict and merit-based, so those who are over forty years old and whose cultivation level is lower than the later stage of Qi training can go back first. "
Zhao Shiwen said lightly.
Those under the age of forty in the later stage of Qi training have a slight chance to break through the foundation building. Such a request is almost like asking for foundation building seeds.
"Those who meet the requirements can now queue up to register."
Zhao Shiwen raised her hand and pointed to the staff member responsible for recording.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then swarmed over.
"My name is Zhang San, and I am the first!"
…
Zhao Shiwen watched with cold eyes, but there was a feeling of ecstasy in her heart, which made her eyes a little blurred.
This is the charm of power, and it is also her best tonic.
Everything Yu Xian told her was not an empty promise, and he didn't make her wait long.
The day after arriving in Shangyang City, she took office and became the second in command of the newly established department.
Although there are only two people and one tiger in the Taxation Department so far, this does not prevent the Taxation Department from occupying the center of power in Shangyang City in one fell swoop.
Look at these people who are squeezing to sign up. Which one is not an outstanding descendant of each family? Once she met, she had to politely salute and even please.
Because maybe one of them will be her future husband.
But now they can only stand here and wait for her to choose.
This made her more energetic.
"Are you Shiwen?"
A handsome girl who looked to be in her twenties, wearing a red coat and unisex attire, walked over in surprise.
Zhao Shiwen came back to her senses, her eyes moved, and she recognized the person.
"Lin Xiaoman?"
Lin Xiaoman is a direct descendant of the Lin family of Yujian. His grandfather was the foundation builder of the Lin family. He was once a core figure in the circle of socialites in Shangyang City.
She also lived in Shangyang City for several years and had friendships with young ladies from various families.
But at that time, she was a little follower and a little transparent, and no one would care about a young lady who was not taken seriously by the Zhao family.
But now, she already has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with various foundation-building ancestors.
"It's really you."
Lin Xiaoman looked at the radiant Zhao Shiwen in uniform and smiled a little reluctantly.
"I didn't dare to recognize you just now. Didn't you mean that you were married to a foundation-building monk as a concubine and had already followed you back to the Zhao family? Why did you suddenly become the deputy director of the Taxation Department?
I heard from my grandfather that the Taxation Department is a powerful department, and I heard that various foundation building and overhaul companies are vying for the position of deputy director.
You are so powerful now that you can actually serve as deputy director just as a Qi Practitioner. "
Zhao Shiwen avoided answering and just smiled back: "Xiaoman, are you also here to sign up for the tax department selection?"
Lin Xiaoman smiled and said: "Yes, Shiwen, considering our previous relationship as sisters, you have to take care of me later."
Zhao Shiwen continued to smile: "Don't worry, Xiaoman, you Lin family will definitely not be able to choose anyone."
"Thank you very much...um...Shiwen, what do you mean?"
Lin Xiaoman's smile froze.
Zhao Shiwen said: "Xiaoman, have you forgotten what you said when I begged you?
‘It’s your blessing that a concubine from the Zhao family who doesn’t even have a father is attracted by my brother. ’
But I also want to thank you. If you hadn't forced me to do anything, I wouldn't have met the master, and I wouldn't be here today. "
After saying this, Zhao Shiwen let out a long breath and felt the urge to laugh.
Yu Xian has no enemies in this city.
But she has, and plenty more.
Lin Xiaoman still maintained a forced smile:
"Shiwen, what do you mean by this? Do you want to settle old scores with me? The Lin family is now in charge of the law enforcement department. Don't act willfully and provoke enemies for those behind you."
Zhao Shiwen sneered: "Lin Xiaoman, you are you, Lin Wu is Lin Wu, neither of you can represent the Lin family.
Don't try to use the Lin family to scare me. In terms of level, I am now on the same level as your director of law enforcement. In other words, if your ancestors of the Lin family come here now, they will be on an equal footing with me. "
"But don't worry, I won't deal with you. I will only do my best to embarrass your Lin family within the scope of my authority."
"If the Lin family knows that they lost their position in the Law Enforcement Department because of you, they will help me entertain you well."
Lin Xiaoman's expression turned cold.
"Zhao Shiwen, I am here today to sincerely reconcile with you. If you give me a price, I will give it to you with both hands."
Zhao Shiwen laughed: "Miss Lin is still pretending to be the eldest lady and refuses to even say I'm sorry. How can I trust your sincerity?
And you can’t afford the price I want. "
Lin Xiaoman said angrily: "Don't be disrespectful, do you think you can be arrogant just by being with a man?
In the eyes of men, we women are just goods and have a price.
As long as our Lin family is willing to give a sufficient price, the man behind you will betray you without hesitation.
Now that the Zhao family is weak, they can't protect you! "
There are so many coincidences in this world.
After many foundation-building monks returned, information about Yu Xian and the woman behind him began to be collected.
And Zhao Shiwen is naturally the top priority, after all, others don't have much information.
Therefore, it is best to open the gap through Zhao Shiwen. Even if it is not possible, you have to find out the preferences and personality of Manager Yu.
And Lin Xiaoman is the pioneer of the Lin family.
It's just that the Lin family didn't expect that Zhao Shiwen would be so valued by Manager Yu that she would directly serve as the deputy director of the Taxation Department without consulting them.
They deliberately disobeyed orders and forbade their own children to serve in the Taxation Department, leaving the Taxation Department with no one available.
But when they think that if they don’t go, other family members will go, then they will definitely suffer a loss afterwards.
And even if they don't move, what about the casual cultivators?
In this matter, they would not be able to fool the Lord of the City together.
Zhao Shiwen looked at the angry Lin Xiaoman leisurely, with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Then let's see what price your Lin family is willing to pay. My master is very greedy."
She wasn't worried at all that Yu Xian would sell her out.
This is a kind of unreasonable trust, and it is also the reason why she is fascinated by Yu Xian.
This man is very domineering towards his own woman.
Lin Xiaoman glanced at Zhao Shiwen coldly, walked down the steps, met with the Lin family's foundation building standing in the distance, and said a few words in her ear.
Lin Family Zhuji glared at Lin Xiaoman, seeming to blame her for causing trouble to the Lin Family. Lin Xiaoman's eyes turned red with grievance.
Seeing Zhao Shiwen's eyes, Lin Family Establishment smiled politely, and then left quickly with Lin Xiaoman.
As for the other children of the Lin family, those who should sign up should not give up this great opportunity just because of Zhao Shiwen's threat.
