Seeing that these people were talking about themselves, Qin Ming couldn't help but speak:

"Brother, this Qin Ming, you really love it so much?"

The person at the opposite table spoke: "That's for sure, young man, Qin Ming is about the same age as you, you have to study more." We have a person like Qin Ming who is so dedicated to the country and the people, that is really a blessing for our people! ”

Qin Ming became more and more floating: "Is it ...... It's not that exaggerated......"

As soon as they heard this, those people were unhappy: "Young man, I don't think you know Qin Ming's exploits, no, my brother has to have one with you today, and I'll tell you about Qin Ming." ”

Qin Ming was stunned: "I don't need this, I still know something." ”

Another man said, "You understand? You know a hammer, you know just now that we won't say that we are exaggerating. As far as you said just now, you are obviously not convinced by Qin Ming. Sit down, the brothers have to teach you a lesson.

This one...... In other words, that Qin Ming, that damn is really the first person in the world, at the beginning, as a small outsider, he was stunned to control the etiquette department............ You say, how can there be such a great person? ”

So, Qin Ming was helpless to listen to a few men and women tell Qin Ming stories about himself for two hours, and the tone was very exaggerated, and Qin Ming himself was shocked when he listened!

Under the compulsion of several men and women, Qin Ming listened to everything he had done from beginning to end in the past year.

After listening to this, Qin Ming himself was forced to think, am I so awesome?

And after listening to these people's stories, Qin Ming had to say in order to get out: "In this case, I will definitely take Qin Ming as a model and learn from him." ”

Among them, a big man nodded with satisfaction: "The children can be taught!" ”

Qin Ming rolled his eyes, seeing that the sky was almost dark, and said, "Several, I still have to hurry, don't leave it here!" ”

After finally getting rid of these people, Qin Ming hurriedly left.

And as soon as he turned to leave, he heard behind him, the men and women were still talking.

Among them, a woman spoke: "Actually, I feel that this young man is a little similar to Qin Mingchang." ”

Hearing this, the big man on the side spoke: "You can pull it, if only he was half as handsome as Qin Ming." ”

Qin Ming, who hadn't gone far, almost fell down, and he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Leaving the tea stall, it was getting late, and Qin Ming wanted to find a place to live.

But there are all villages nearby, and there must be no inns, so Qin Ming planned to find a villager and go to his house to live.

After making up his mind, he prepared to walk towards the village in front of him.

was about to leave, but he heard a voice behind him: "Yo, little brother, you are also here." ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that it was actually two of the men and women in the tea stall before.

This is a middle-aged couple, and when they just told Qin Ming the story of Qin Ming, they were very energetic.

Qin Ming also smiled when he saw them and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Oh, let's go back to the village, where are you going, little brother?" Dahan asked Qin Ming.

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "I plan to go to the village in front of me to find someone to borrow for a night." ”

When the big man heard this, he said, "Then what else do you say? Let's go to my eldest brother's house, although my house is simple, but there is still a room. ”

Qin Ming smiled: "Then bother the eldest brother." ”

The big man smiled and waved his hand, but the woman next to him had a little embarrassed face.

However, she didn't say anything, just sighed slightly.

So, the husband and wife took Qin Ming and walked towards the village, this village is not big, but it has to be one hundred and eighty households, it is getting late at this moment, and many people are taking farm tools and going home from the fields.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ming smiled slightly, this feeling of sunrise and sunrise is actually quite good.

However, there were not many smiles on the faces of those people.

When he arrived outside a civil house, Dahan invited Qin Ming in and said, "Little brother, this family is simple, take care of it." ”

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Where, where!" ”

Dahan also smiled, and then took Qin Ming to a mud-walled house, although the house was shabby, it was also clean.

At this time, a little girl of five or six years old ran in and hugged the big man's leg and said:

"Daddy, do you have any baked cakes?"

The big man picked up the girl and hesitated for a moment before he took out a baked cake from his arms, Qin Ming looked at it, isn't this baked cake the dried plum vegetable baked cake that his Qin family snacks have?

After the little girl took it, she took a small bite and then fed it to the big man, who smiled and bit a little lightly.

The girl shouted to her mother to eat it again, but the woman only bit a little, then shook her head and said, "It's not delicious, my mother doesn't like to eat it, so let's eat it yourself!" ”

The little girl really thought that her father didn't like to eat, so she nodded: "Okay, my father is stupid, I won't eat this if it's delicious......"

The big man and the woman just smiled, their eyes full of love for their daughter.

It's just that Qin Ming, who was on the side, saw this scene, and his nose was inexplicably sour.

What a familiar and unfamiliar scene, delicious food, do parents really not like to eat?

At this time, the little girl suddenly looked at Qin Ming again and said, "Big brother, do you want to eat baked cakes?" It's delicious! ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the little girl's innocent and longing big eyes, Qin Ming smiled, he wanted to say that he didn't like to eat, but he knew that this would dampen the little girl's enthusiasm and expectation.

But he also understood that such a few pennies of bread was not something that such villagers could eat from time to time.

So, they gave the best to this girl, how could Qin Ming eat it?

However, symbolically, Qin Ming reached out and tore his fingernails a little, and after eating it, he said, "We adults don't like to eat this thing." ”

When the little girl heard this, there seemed to be a hint of sudden realization in her eyes, and she said, "No wonder my father and mother said that it was not delicious, I understand!" ”

Hearing this, the Han couple both looked at Qin Ming, the original white lie could also be more perfect.

"Little girl, do you like to eat this cake very much?" Qin Ming looked at the cute little girl and asked.

The girl nodded: "This is delicious, but it's too expensive, it's good to eat one a month, and the food sold by my father and mother can't be eaten by Nannan, and I have to hand it over." ”

"Hand it over?" Qin Ming thought about it, maybe he was talking about taxes.

So he asked, "How much tax do you have to pay each year?" ”

Dahan's face was slightly unsightly, and he said, "This year, it is said that the tax will be paid by household by four-tenths, or by head of grain and one stone." ”

Qin Ming frowned: "How many fields do you have?" How much grain is produced per year? ”

Dahan sighed: "Three acres of land, with an annual output of six stone grains." ”

One stone and more than 100 catties of grain, the three people of this family can only eat tightly for a year if they hand over three stones and three stones and more than 300 catties of grain.

Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "So, do you think it's more cost-effective to pay by household, so you went to buy some grain and exchange it for money?" ”

The big man nodded and said, "I carried two stones of grain and sold it for more than two taels of silver, and the tax should be enough." ”

Hearing this, Qin Ming's face darkened, he remembered that the imperial court did not set such a heavy tax, so there must be something greasy in this.

"When will someone come to collect taxes!" Qin Ming asked.

Dahan thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow, the officials will come to collect taxes." ”

Qin Ming nodded, and then said in a voice that he had just heard:

"I want to see how they collect taxes, and why they are different from those stipulated by the imperial court!"
