Hearing Wen Cheng say that Kong Xiaoer's methods of collecting taxes were so cruel

Wang Ba was dull for a long time, and then he smiled:

"Hey, don't care about this bullshit. The world is big, and the food is the biggest

！ Of the more than 20 brothers who wanted to go out together back then, less than half of them can still eat wheat rice now.

If it weren't for the back then, I braved the rain of arrows in the sky, desperately carried your brother-in-law, and ran back to the car formation, now your brother-in-law, how can there be a guy who eats on his shoulder?

It's also your brother-in-law's life, the whooshing sound, the overwhelming arrows, and the dense even the sun are covered, and your brother-in-law only has a hit on the buttocks. ”

……

Wang Ba scratched his head, turned his head and yelled at Ding Yong:

"That...... Who's that...... That water baby, you pick a duck and slaughter it.

Wash the intestines and stomachs, don't learn from the fire, the skin on the soles of the feet will not fade, and the sacs will not be washed. ”

There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy scratching his head and smiling innocently, presumably the person called "Huosheng".

"Pick the fatter!"

Wang Ba took care of himself and instructed the water baby:

"After a while, it was stewed, boiled in a clay pot, and then went to the street and waited for the one who came to sell the wine, and sold it for twenty great dollars

…… The wine of Jia Laoer's family, Lao Tzu always felt that the water was too big.

Others sell wine mixed with water, and he sells dog-like things with water mixed with wine! I really don't know if he sells wine or water, could it be that he sells his mother-in-law's face? ”

Wang Ba grunted.

When Ding Yong heard this, he burst out laughing.

The bold also coaxed the king:

"Why don't you hook the mother-in-law away, look at the second Jia Lao, it doesn't seem to be a posture that can feed her; The flowers will wilt if they are not watered, and the mother-in-law will turn over the wall if they are not fed! ”

Wang Ba laughed and scolded: "Go to the side, the tampers who haven't grown all the hair, make a fart!" ”

As he spoke, he saw a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, who answered the promise, picked out a hemp duck and walked towards the stream.

……

At that time, in the countryside, there were basically two meals, one in the morning (10:00) and one in the afternoon (around 4:00).

People in the countryside go to bed early, which saves oil and torches...... Although the torches were made of their own bamboo poles and pine branches, they did not cost money, but they blackened the walls and accidentally licked the thatched roof...... Do you pay for it?

Sleeping can also reduce physical exertion, thus saving food.

……

Wen Cheng stretched out his hand to grab Wang Ba, and said earnestly, "Brother Wang, don't worry about it, you have also run for most of the day, and go to hand over official business, take a rest; The meals we are waiting for are distributed by our own townships. ”

Wang Ba patted Wen Cheng's arm:

"Brother, don't worry, brother, I have been back to my hometown for many years, and I haven't eaten melons that don't cost money on the streets of Dongshan Township."

Wang Ba turned his head and shouted at those Ding Yong who were resting under the mulberry tree:

"Arrange a few people to mow some grass. The big animals are the lives of the neighbors. Genzi, can you afford to pay for starvation! ”

Turning back to Wen Cheng and saying:

"A duck is worth a few big bucks, and Zhao Gouzi paid taxes and deducted it for him.

Brother, I have a single person, a bad gun, and a duck to entertain my brother, what is the matter? ”

Wen Cheng was silent and let Wang Ba arrange everything.

Now that the father-in-law's family has deported the taxes, with his father-in-law's shrewdness and his mother-in-law's carefulness, he wants to come to his father-in-law's house this year, and he can survive it safely. Luckily!

……

I asked someone to say that I came to Dongshan Township to do an errand. First, in the county temple these days, the atmosphere is really depressing; The second is to assist the father-in-law's family and find ways to complete the tax.

The father-in-law's family has been extremely fond of themselves for many years. As for himself, although he is just a temporary worker in the county temple, he knows the county government up and down, and the township pavilion and post.

As the saying goes, "acquaintances are easy to do", with themselves by their side, those township miscellaneous servants, tax collectors, and village bravery, more or less, will still give themselves some face.

will not use such cruel methods as breaking down the door and smashing the cow and catching the chicken to deal with his wife's family.

As for himself, although he didn't have great ability, he had to try his best to protect himself, so that he would not be a son-in-law in vain.

……

Chao Xi paced around the horse and mule, and exclaimed:

"What a great horse! Feeding the skin smooth and slippery"

He raised his head and asked Wang Ba on the side: "Such a majestic family that can be fed, and it is not poor to come to the family, why do you take it here?" ”

Wang Ba replied with an echo:

"Back to this errand, this mule is Tongshengli, Zhou's big family.

The villain went to the assistant to handle taxes, and went to Wu Lang, the township assistant;

That week, the big households pushed left and right, pulling east and west, but they refused to take out the yellow and white things.

Wu Lang was born on the side, beating the side drum and breaking the gong for Zhou Dahu"

Wang Ba licked his lips and said hatefully:

"When you wait for the tax collector to pay the master, you actually beat the side drum, and you beat it so happily;

I urged the villain to search the thatched hut and bamboo house. Large households do not step up their urging

…… How many drops of oil can be snatched out of the wheat mosquito-like cold house? It's really angry with a certain bird's lungs! The villain will get annoyed."

Wang Ba gritted his teeth:

In a fit of rage, he went straight into the mule shed and led the horse and mule, leaving a donkey for his surname Zhou!

After a few days, he went to a large household and paid the taxes truthfully, but if he dared to procrastinate, the villain even led the donkey;

If the donkey doesn't go, grandpa ...... A certain family is desperate, what if you come back with it! ”

Wen Cheng silently thought in his heart: Brother-in-law, don't be angry, brother-in-law don't be annoyed......

Chao Xi didn't care about the occasional popping up in Wang Ba's words...... Well, how to say it, anyway, knowing this killing talent, it is not easy to learn to chew words and words.

As for his grandfather, who is he talking about...... Well, isn't this horse and mule just turning his head and grinning at Wang Ba?

And too much......

……

In the Han Dynasty, there was no grade, only high and low rank. It depends on the size of the official, and looks at it at a glance with the crown, clothes, and seals.

Of course, the official seal will not be pinned to the waist like the "big brother", but will be packed in the "seal bag" and hung on the belt with a "ribbon".

The color of the ribbon, the matching between colors, the material and length of the ribbon, and the style of weaving are all regulated.

Knowledgeable people can naturally distinguish at a glance the size of the officials.

As for the general public, anyway, they know that gold is more expensive than copper, and as long as they wear "seals", they can't afford to mess with them, so they don't need to study carefully.

……

In fact, Chao Xi is similar to Wang Ba's rank, the difference is that one belongs to the civil affairs system and the other belongs to the local armed organization.

Those who came down from the "county" were naturally half a point higher than the rural officials of the same level, so Wang Ba called Chao Xi "superior".

It is equivalent to the local officials, and the same principle in front of the central officials.

……

Chao Xi asked Wang Ba again:

"I Shicai compared with Gu Lao in the township, and this year's levy is more than half. You must have known that this year's calculation is so important that it may not be consummated. ”

Chao Xi paused:

"Where else can Dongshan Township be called?"

Wang Ba tilted his head and replied:

"Back to the poor, the poor households in the township, eager to hold the copper coin, often take it out and lick it a few times, even if you can't keep the copper coin, you want to leave a taste;

It is no cheaper to want his copper coins than to ask for his life.

Adults must also know: Haoqiang's family and the rangers are not clear.

If the money in his cellar is collected, I am afraid that he will have to go in, and the lives of many brothers will be indispensable.

Even if it is done, the end of the hand must not be cleaned. In the future, it is impossible to prevent and annoyance"

Wang Ba thought for a while: "One has no money, and the other can't get money, it's difficult!" ”

Chao Xi smiled bitterly: "It's difficult, it's difficult!" However, if it expires, if you don't escort it to the county state, I'm afraid that at the gate of the county temple, you will have to add a few resentful souls! ”

Chao Xi bowed his hand to Wang Ba: "You have been stationed in Dongshan Township for a long time, the population and township order, you know very well, why teach me?" ”
