With the sudden sound of a few gongs, but seeing that the chickens in the house were skewered and the dogs kept barking, several officials shouted loudly while beating the gongs: "The Hu people have invaded, and the lives have been ruined." There is money to pay, and there is grain to pay. ”

Strange, just after paying taxes, why did the government come to collect taxes again?

What's more, it's February now, what is there at home that is worth urging the government to urge?

The housekeeper Wu Jie hurriedly stepped forward to invite the official messenger into the gate.

Hearing the sound of the gong, Zhao Ping came out of the backyard and hid under the yellow cypress tree with Lan'er to look secretly.

An official took out the paperwork and posted it.

The gist of the document is that in order to fight against the Hu people, the government will collect more than a dozen kinds of miscellaneous money such as general money and other miscellaneous money at one time.

Zhao Ping didn't expect that the Southern Song Dynasty also had so many taxes!

And there were several township soldiers wearing Fan Yang hats, holding guns and knives, and the butler stood majestically on the side, and did not sit on the stool handed by the butler.

Is it difficult to escape this tax?

was not willing Wu Jie to bring tea and water to the official one after another, and said all the good things, saying that now he is not in charge, and he hopes that the official will slow down.

However, Xiang Jian, an official with a face full of about forty faces, suddenly put the tea in his hand on the table, and with a "bang" a lot of tea splashed out of the bowl, and his thick palm slapped the table and shouted: "Steward Wu, today you will say it directly, whether to give it or not." If you don't plan to give it, do you want to test whether the military master's knife is sharp. ”

Another kind-looking man in his thirties called He Jie Xiangsi hurriedly held him down and said, "Sun Erlang, dissipate the anger." ”

Who knew that he turned around and whispered to Wu Jie: "Steward Wu, your own family also knows your difficulties, but you also have to be considerate of your own pain." You also know that the Hu people attacked fiercely in Jiading, Tongchuanfu, and Jinzhou, and the soldiers were bloodied. I won't tell you the truth, my own officials seem to be majestic, but what is Yulu, it is a meeting. ”

Speaking of which, he took out a few huizi and put them on the table, and then his eyes were red, and he said hatefully: "What can Huizi sell now, not to mention that he can't enter the restaurant, even the hawkers don't want to ask for it." But I heard that there will be no meeting next month. Steward Wu, how does this make the family go back to their own ladies and sons. Besides, Zhou Xiaoliang didn't complete the dispatch yesterday, and his ass has already been hit by 20 boards. Zhou Xiaoliang, come over and show Steward Wu. ”

"Here we are." A lean official in his twenties limped into the courtyard from the outside, his hands still covering his buttocks, which were bigger than a woman's.

In Zhao Ping's heart, this person's ass is so big, could it be stuffed with things like cotton?

Steward Wu opened his mouth and was about to speak, when his mother's gentle voice came: "Uncle Wu, let's give them all the miscellaneous endowments." ”

Steward Wu's eyes were as red as a bull's eye, his head was raised in a high voice, and he waved his hands sharply: "Mastermother, there will be no food for your own family next month, and this is a green and yellow crop, what should I do." ”

After saying that, he seemed to lose all his strength, and suddenly sat on the ground.

A few officials took care of this, picked up sacks and measuring buckets, pushed the donkey-pulled chariot, and immediately ran to the granary of the family like a wolf.

Looking at the empty granary, Wu Tian hugged several grandchildren and cried bitterly.

Lan'er tugged at Zhao Ping's sleeve to wipe her tears from crying, and Cuizhu hugged her mother's right hand and kept sobbing.

And the mother hugged Zhao Ping tightly and didn't say a word.

Wu Di folded a tree strip, and the ground of the bluestone slab was pulled out by him!

Wu Yun picked up one stone after another, threw it fiercely in the direction of the official, and kept cursing in his mouth: "Dogs kill talents." ”

Wu Tian cried for a while, and said to the housekeeper: "The old body shouldn't have said this. The old man also saw that one of the two officials sang in black face and the other in red face. also let the ass be lightly beaten by his colleagues, and he actually stuffed the cotton official errand to deceive his own sympathy. There are so many miscellaneous taxes this time, which of them can collect them all at once. ”

"Shut up. Stupid woman. Wu Jie raised his palm, and he was about to slap it.

Wu Tian cried even more, stretched out his face to Wu Jie, took Wu Jie's right hand with both hands and slapped it towards his face, and said: "You fight, you fight, you are an old body." ”

The mother sighed and said softly: "Uncle Wu, let's tell them." ”

Wu Jie closed the gate of the front yard, looked at everyone, looked at Zhao Ping softly, glared at him fiercely, and then said in a deep voice: "Today is the confession, who may not be able to say it." If you want to hide, can you dodge completely? Didn't you see the officers and soldiers coming? They kept harassing, Xiao Langjun's body is still recovering, what should I do if something goes wrong? What's more, the official army is indeed fighting to the death with the Hu people in Jiading, Tongchuan Province, and Jinju. They don't have any money, are they hungry and desperate with the Hu people? It's only more than 100 miles away from there, what should I do if the officials and soldiers mutiny? Do you want to go up and fight yourself? ”

Wu Tian let go of Wu Jie's hand, looked back at the three grandchildren, and turned his head to look at Wu Jie and sobbed: "The old man also knows the truth, but he can't let the whole family starve." ”

Wu Jie closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "This time the miscellaneous taxes are collected in such a hurry, it seems that the imperial court is in a hurry, not only my own family." Refugees may show up. In order to make an emergency, the housemother has prepared spare grain in the underground granary. This grain is barely enough for the family to eat the summer grain harvest, but you should not expect three meals a day. ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Wu Tian's face, and he stepped forward to give his mother a deep blessing: "The old body is not considered well, please forgive the main mother." ”

Speaking of which, he suddenly knelt down.

The mother hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Tian and said, "Uncle and mother are outside." The slave family has no way to run the family, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will understand. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ping suddenly remembered that one of the real reasons for the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty in the last years was that the imperial court had no money in the end, and now he just experienced the economic difficulties of the Great Song Dynasty.

Let yourself feel the heavy pressure, and it is imminent to revitalize the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty economy with all your might.

The next day, my uncle and his party of five suddenly came here. His appearance was outstanding, his skin was fair, he wore a black pleated shirt, a long turban in a purple sarop, and he brought Zhao Ping a box of ginseng and a packet of sugar gourds.

My aunt is in her prime, with a light blue skirt of 100 stacks, a crown of beads on her bun, her white skin and her body are plump and enchanting, and she is pulling her mother to talk about women.

A light pink dress, combed with snail bun and pink makeup, Jade Lori held her aunt in one hand, looked at Zhao Ping carefully, and then stared at Zhao Ping with big eyes, her eyes were full of hatred, and a small fist kept waving.

This made Zhao Ping feel very puzzled, when did he offend this little Lori?

When it was my uncle's turn to talk to my mother, my uncle always talked in a slurred manner, which made my mother feel puzzled. The uncle glanced at the housekeeper Wu Jie and the four maid rings, the mother waved her hand gently, and the housekeeper and the two little maid rings closed the door and went out.

The aunt gently touched the uncle with her elbow, and the uncle "coughed", and then finally said: "Yueniang, you have lost a lot of money this time when the government levies the tax." ”

The mother nodded, stared at her uncle and said, "If there is anything, my brother will tell me directly." ”

The uncle sighed, and then said: "Yueniang's family is still missing a pillar, as far as the foolish brother knows, this time those powerful families, the miscellaneous endowment is at least half or even more." Brother Fool has a friend who is a classmate, has been tested for the liberation, has a lot of property in the family, and his wife has passed away not long ago, and he is looking for a continuation, is it appropriate for the little sister to see if it is appropriate? ”

Zhao Ping heard that his uncle was going to find a father for himself, and suddenly a stranger came to be his father, and he didn't feel good in his heart, he glared at his uncle and aunt hatefully, stretched out his hand to his mother's sleeve, and pulled her, hoping to hold her not to agree.

The mother put the tea bowl on the table and said lightly: "Thank you brother for your love, but my little sister has made up her mind that she will never marry twice in this life." ”

My aunt also stepped forward to hold my mother's right hand, and then said, "Yueniang, this world is a man's world." Isn't being a woman in your own family just marrying a good family? Now while you are young and beautiful, you just marry yourself, and besides, the lifter also said that he will treat Ping'er as his son. ”

What made Zhao Ping happy in his heart was that his mother spit out the word: "Say it again, I will never marry twice in this life." ”

My aunt was in a hurry, and rushed out: "Yueniang, what other way do you have to go, Lijia Village has already fired you." ”

Zhao Ping thought to himself, just so he can stand on his own!

The mother suddenly covered her forehead with her hands, shook her body a few times, and suddenly fell softly from the stool to the ground.

The aunt panicked, forgot to hold on, covered her mouth with her right hand and screamed.

Zhao Ping struggled to help his mother up from the ground, and at this time his aunt also came to his senses and sat down on the circle chair together, but his mother was still unconscious.

It seems that the mother has been hit hard!

It seems that I must become independent as soon as possible!

But he has no silver or copper coins.

No start-up capital!

Gotta think of a way!
