"We also know that since Yuan Zhoumu came, life is getting better and better. In the past, not to mention selling grain, I didn't even have enough to eat. This year's grain harvest is bumper, and it is normal for grain prices to fall, and I am already thankful that I can only drop by 30%. The old man said optimistically.

People are old and fine, and the old man knows very well in his heart that this year's grain output, grain prices have only fallen by 30%, which is already very magical. In previous years, food prices would have at least doubled.

The old man understood who had caused this result. Except for their stupid and big-money state herdsmen, who will buy grain at a high price? Who will drive up food prices for them?

The people of Jiangdong still have a high sense of identity with Yuan Shu, although there is a stupid big money on his head, Yuan Shu is still a benevolent and wise state pastor in the hearts of the people.

Under the governance of Yuan Shu, now the people of Jiangdong are all too rich, every family has surplus food, and everyone has new clothes. In this era of war, it was a scene of peace and prosperity. It's no wonder that Cao Cao and they are extremely jealous of Yuan Shu, Jiangdong is too rich.

"What my father-in-law said is very true, but I don't know how much food my father-in-law's family needs to hand over in a year?" Fa Zheng continued to ask.

He had already found some problems in his previous investigation, and now he wanted to make sure.

The old man glanced at Fa Zheng strangely, and said suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?" ”

I had long expected that I would suffer such a question, and Fa Zheng said casually: "The kid's family is going to charter a small farm, but I don't know what the tax rate is, so I hereby ask one or two." ”

The old man looked like a kind and approachable person, he shouldn't be a bad person, not to mention that this was not something that needed to be hidden, and said casually: "Thirty and a half." ”

Really!

Fa Zheng secretly hated in his heart, this group of guys who don't know how to restrain!

"The kid heard that the grain tax in Jiangdong has always been two out of ten, why is it three and a half percent now that my husband is talking about?"

The old man said calmly: "It's true that the grain tax is two out of ten, but you still need to pay half of the borrowed cattle and farm tools." ”

"And what about Ichsei?"

The old man sighed lightly: "The local gentry colluded with the government, and they still need to pay an extra 10% of the cultivation fee." ”

"Farming fees?" Fa Zheng asked with some gritted teeth. What kind of farming fees, isn't it just extortion! These guys are looking for death!

"Boy, old man, I can remind you that you have to bow your head when you should be a man. It's nothing to pay an extra 10% of the grain tax, and I can't starve to death now anyway. But if you don't pay it, those gentry will collude with some officials and local ruffians to teach you a lesson. At that time, I'm afraid it won't be a problem of Yicheng food, and if you don't get it, your life will be gone! ”

The old man looked at Fa Zheng with a resentful expression, thinking that the other party was expressing grievances to himself, and said seriously.

Secretly wrote down this matter in his heart, Fa Zheng calmed down a little, and said calmly: "Thank you for your advice." In addition, I would like to ask about Koto business tax. ”

"Isn't your family a farm? Why do you ask this? The old man asked with a strange expression.

"There is also an eldest brother in the boy's family who is ready to do business, and I hope that the old man will give him advice." Fa Zheng lied casually again.

"Okay, then I'll talk to you......" The old man was also a broad-hearted talker, and chatted with Fa Zheng endlessly.

After some words, the old man who was still unsatisfied was dragged away by his son who was rushing to work, and before leaving, he asked Fa Zheng what his name was and where he lived. Looking at that posture, I still want to go to him again when I have time to chat.

Away from this enthusiastic old man, Fa Zheng was full of anger and wrote a summary of the report on a piece of paper. Write a hard note to some people.

As soon as I finished writing, I saw an extremely large convoy slowly approaching. The leader's ornate carriage was covered with flags, and the word "Yang" on it proved his identity.

"The Yang family?"

Fa Zheng looked at the gorgeous carriage in the lead with amusement.

It was the Hongnong Yang family branch represented by Yang Xiu who came. Of course, it should now become the Jiangdong Yang family.

Although Yang Xiu is the representative of this branch of the Yang family, it does not mean that it is Yang Xiu who is in charge.

Although Yang Xiu's ability is good, after all, his age is there, how can he become a leader? It is impossible for Yang Biao to do such a stupid thing.

Yang Biao sent him here to protect him. Second, it is also because he is Yuan Shu's nephew. Yang Xiu's mother is Yang Biao's wife and Yuan Shu's sister.

Yang Biao pushed Yang Xiu out just to get closer to Yuan Shu and be a link.

Feeling the spiritual power that was not weak in the leading carriage, Fa Zheng outlined a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Finally, there is someone who can be bullied by me!" Little junior brother, I will definitely take good care of you! ”

As soon as the words fell, the spiritual power in Fa Zheng's mind surged, and it exploded directly into the carriage.

"Bang!"

Yang Xiu, who was originally thinking about life and had some worries, only felt that his brain was dizzy, and he fell backwards and hit the carriage.

Because he was in Jinling City, Yang Xiu didn't have much defense, and he was preoccupied at this time, so he accidentally fell into Fazheng's plot.

"Ahh

Yang Xiu, who had a pain in his head, snorted softly, and quickly came to his senses and roared: "Who is plotting against me, and you have the ability to come out!" ”

Yang Xiu knew that since this person was playing tricks on himself like this, he must also be mentally paying attention to his every move. Therefore, if he seems to be talking to himself, the other party will definitely hear it.

With a surge of spiritual power, Yang Xiu began to search the surrounding situation.

Feeling the spiritual power surging in the carriage, Fa Zheng's smile became even brighter. Concentrated mental power, and another mental shock blasted past.

"Bang!"

Same action, same result. Yang Xiu hit the carriage again.

This time, Yang Xiu didn't dare to say anything ruthless. If the blow at the beginning can be explained by his own defenselessness, now this blow really shows that the opponent's spiritual strength is stronger than his own.

Knowing that it was someone who was stronger than himself who was playing tricks on him, Yang Xiu said in a low tone: "May I ask who Your Excellency is, and please show up to meet you." ”

At the same time, Yang Xiu contracted the spiritual power that was emitted, and firmly protected himself to prevent the other party from attacking again.

Using his spiritual power to "see" that Yang Xiu had learned a lesson, and finally understood that he had to protect himself first, Fa Zheng let out a long sigh of relief.

Refreshing!

That's how Jia Xu trained him at the beginning, and it was also called training his vigilance. Every day, a mental shock from time to time hits him, so that Fa Zheng is now on alert anytime and anywhere, and even when he sleeps, he is unconsciously mobilizing his spiritual power to protect himself.

Moreover, the power of Jia Xu's spiritual impact every time he released was really not small, and the result of Fa Zheng's unpreparedness was to roll three times on the ground. If you are prepared, you have to fall and squat. Only with full precautions can we remain basically unharmed.

Jia Xu called this a beautiful name, anti-strike training. Later, Guo Jia also participated, and "trained" Fazheng with Jia Xu, and he was even more undisciplined.

For the sake of his own dignity and in order not to let a certain drunkard see the joke, Fa Zheng has lived in dire straits every day since then.

As a result, during this time, not only the spiritual power increased rapidly, but also formed a conditioned reflex, as long as it was attacked by a powerful attack, all the spiritual power would instantly burst out to protect itself.

Therefore, people are forced out!

It is precisely because of the persecution of Jia Xu and Guo Jia that Fa has grown so fast.

Feeling Yang Xiu's vigilance and shame, Fa Zheng was happy in his heart, but another spiritual shock blasted past.

"Bang!"

Under Fa Zheng's precise calculations, this "slightly" stronger spiritual impact once again broke through Yang Xiu's defenses.

Same action, same result. Yang Xiu hit the carriage again.

After reacting, Yang Xiu was extremely ashamed and indignant in his heart, and the other party was obviously deliberately teasing himself. There was a faint hint of panic and excitement in his heart, how many talents Jiangdong had!

The power of the spiritual impact just now Yang Xiu felt it clearly. Relying on mental impact can make oneself who is fully defended get hit, and the other party is obviously not at the same level as himself.

"Looking" at Yang Xiu's solemn and frightened look, Fa Zheng only felt like eating popsicles on dog days, refreshing!

didn't care about the psychological shadow he left on the other party, turned around and hummed a little song, swayed away.
