After He Ran went into the water, the dog was naturally indispensable, and it was the first to jump into the water.

Ji Mo was worried at first that the dog was holding the two girls indifferently, but finally found that the dog was just swimming back and forth around He Ran and Bao Min, and from time to time he looked at the little fox on the shore.

The little fox walked back and forth on the shore several times, and then jumped into the water at once.

Apparently it made a lot of determination.

Ji Mo said to He Ran, "Come up almost, you can't swim, what are you doing there." ”

Both children were standing in the shallow water at the edge of the water, and if it weren't for the adults watching, they would definitely have the courage to go to the deep water.

Huang Banan said, "Mayor Town, if you want to be busy with you, I'll just watch here." ”

The girl found a playmate, and she was the happiest.

Ji Mo asked, "You're not going to the field today?"

Since Huang Ban'an moved here, he has not been idle for a day, and has opened several acres of land along the foot of the mountain.

It is too late to plant beans and corn, and we are currently planting sugarets, turnips, and other crops that are both temperature-loving and cold-tolerant.

Huang Banan said with a smile, "The big head is gone, I'll just send him food later." ”

"It's okay to open the land in front of your house, don't go over this mountain, it's common to encounter tigers and wolves. Ji Mo explained, "The main task is to take care of the children, and there is a lot of money." ”

When Huang Ban'an and his family began to move over, he was unhappy, but after getting along at such a stage, he found it good.

At least when he went out to run errands, He Ran didn't have to send it to Wu Youde's house, and besides, with Bao Min as a playmate, He Ran wouldn't be so pestering him like this, he didn't have to always hover on the verge of going crazy.

The war between the Northwest Army and the Northridge Army continued, and even became more and more intense.

According to the guests of the old Taojia Hotel, the Northwest Army currently has the upper hand, and the Beiling Army has lost port cities such as Dongfang Port and Vladivostok, and even Huolongmen City, which borders with Northwest Province.

The messenger from the Great Tung Ridge Office came again, bringing an official letter of taxation.

"Twenty thousand Northwest banknotes," Ji Mo sat in the office of the town office, put the official letter on the table, and sighed, "It's not much, the key is who I will collect!"

Northwest banknotes and Northridge banknotes both depreciated, converted into the ocean, and there were about 3,000!

However, it is even more difficult to popularize tax knowledge and let them pay taxes to the people of the ancient town who have never paid taxes!

Take the money from the town office yourself to offset it?

Do you do it once and do it every year?

What a picture!

Doing this kind of good deed not only does not benefit him, but people also have to scold him for being stupid!

Bao Qing said suddenly, "Mayor Town, it is a matter of course for the government to collect taxes, so what's so difficult about this."

If you don't come up with a charter, I'll personally bring someone to collect it, and if anyone dares not to give it, I'll make them look good!"

"Bad idea, can you still force it?" Ji Mo waved his hand, very disagreeable.

Although taxes are mandatory, they cannot be imposed violently.

If he dared to do this, from now on, not only would he completely lose the freedom to press the road alone, but also the family would often have fires and water, and he would not be able to take his own life.

"It's only so much money in total, and you can spread it evenly if you find a few big households,"

Qi Bei said loudly, "These days, we have worked day and night for the security of the town, and we have also helped protect the youth, and we have not taken a dime from them, nor have we eaten a meal from them.

Now there's something, it's time for them to bleed.

Forgive them for not saying anything. ”

Ji Mo said, "That's right, but you can't do it brutally." ”

Although taxation is gratuitous, it must also conform to legal and economic principles.

Normal taxation is taken from the people and used by the people, and the residents of the ancient town should enjoy public resources and social security such as education, medical care, and transportation after paying taxes.

However, he went to collect it now, and he couldn't guarantee anything, after all, Dayang was handed over to the Dadongling Office!

What good things can Ying Lifei do with the money?

After all, even the only school in Twin Towers Town is gone!

No, it should be called Twin Towers now!

"Mayor Town," Chen Sigui said with a smile, "It's really not a difficult matter, our security team maintains law and order, eliminates violence, sweeps away evil, and suppresses bandits for them, just collecting their insurance premiums is more than that!"

"Yes!" Jian Zhong said, "According to me, our Dadongling people are not so open-minded, talk about it, and someone will give it somewhat."

Moreover, last time, someone took the initiative to donate money to our town office, but you didn't agree.

Now as soon as you open your mouth, a lot of people will come to your door and deliver money. ”

"That's not a long-term solution, they donated money this year, and they will look for them next year?" Ji Mo said with a smile, "You can't hold a piece of wool, what if it's bald?"

His words made everyone laugh.

"Mayor Town, what do you say?" After Chen Sigui finished speaking, everyone looked at Ji Mo.

Ji Mo sighed and said, "Call Sun Chengwen over, make a table at the town office at night, and everyone will think of a way together." ”

After Ma San heard this, he walked out of the house and shouted to Fang Xiaodao, who was standing in the courtyard watching Yang Laoshi carving, "Xiaodao, you go and inform Sun Chengfei and let him come to the town office for dinner at night." ”

Fang Xiaodao said briskly, "Okay." ”

Looking at Fang Xiaodao riding a horse in the distance, Ma San couldn't help himself happily, this is the advantage of him being the head of the liaison office, he can make people!

There are small things that you don't need to run your own errands at all.

Ji Mo was going to go home first, settle He Ran for a while, and when he arrived at the door, he found that his donkey was on a top frame with a horse, and was kicked back and forth several times by the tall horse, not dodging or dodging, and still rushing forward bravely.

"Idiot, go home!" Ji Mo didn't dare to go up directly to pull the reins, but only said to Du Chenghao, who was watching the excitement, "Xiucai, hurry up and take your horse away!"

Xiucai said, "Non-yes, non-yes"

"If you say one more nonsense, I'll shut you up and believe it or not?" Ji Mo threatened without waiting for him to speak.

Du Chenghao snorted coldly and honestly took the horse away.

The donkey was about to catch up, and Ji Mo scolded, "Give me back." ”

After the donkey stopped, he took the reins and continued to scold, "How many pounds and taels do you have, but you don't have a number in your heart?"

The donkey barked twice, showing that he was not convinced.

"Let's be honest. Ji Mo patted it on the back, waited for it to be stable, turned over and rode up.

It was hot lately, and sometimes in a hurry, so he had to ride his stubborn donkey, which was better than walking, though he was dissatisfied.

The door was open, He Ran was not at home, he didn't have to guess to know that he was at Huang Ban'an's house.

I brought two catties of oil and half a bag of rice from home to Huang Ban'an's house.

He Ran and Bao Min were playing rope flipping, and they didn't have time to deal with Ji Mo.
