Chapter 285: Parade out of the house
"Thank you, Lady Chincha." Wu Zhenle took the silver and said in a respectful tone.
Most of the people make a living from nomadic herding and wear deerskin to keep warm all year round. Taishou, as the official of Jian'an's parents, naturally could not wear deerskin like ordinary people, so he had to spend money to buy ready-to-wear clothes at a ready-to-wear store.
But the business of ready-to-wear shops is also sluggish, and there is no other business except for the rich and noble. But it is only the business of rich and noble families, and a piece of clothing costs ten taels of silver. Not to mention, a maid's clothes.
"You're welcome." Ann waved his hand.
A few taels of silver, not a large amount, he can still afford it.
The most important thing is to be able to sell him a favor, so why not?
"After eating, let's talk to Ben Qin about the situation in Jian'an." Ann is the right color.
"Yes." Chu Zhen said respectfully.
"My lord has lived in the imperial court for a long time, and I must know the tax situation in Jian'an. Jian'an has a large population, and everyone pays so much silver, and it stands to reason that they should be grateful to Dade, but as a result, some people actually encourage ordinary people to fall into the grass. ”
Chu Zhen said that, waving his fist angrily.
That being said, is that really the case? Only God knows.
"Will you take the officer around?" Although An Yi doesn't like it here, since he is here, he must do his duty.
"It's getting late, why don't you rest here for a while, and then go back early tomorrow morning?"
"It's fine." An Yi just talked casually, and did not have the idea of paying real action. He got up from the stool and stretched, "Comfortable! ”
"Comfortable?" The corners of Chu Zhen's mouth twitched.
With that virtue, is it really Qincha?
Although he thought so in his heart, his face was as calm as if he was not shocked, "Come on, take Lord Qincha and the brothers down to rest." ”
Hearing the voice, a purple-clothed maid came in from the door, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "My lord, please." ”
The beauty is in front of herself, and it is naturally impossible for An Yi to treat that girl as coldly as she treats Chu Zhen.
He said with a smile on his eyebrows, "There is Miss Lao." ”
"My lord laughed." The purple-clothed maid said without humility or arrogance.
Taishou Mansion, Qing Yuan.
The maid brought the people into the house and left in a hurry.
After the people left, An Yi's little servant looked around, "Young master, this house is really good." ”
"It's good." An Yi raised his eyes slightly.
Although the layout of the Taishou Mansion is not as good as their Taifu Mansion, it is still good compared to other places.
An Yi was really not interested in the layout of the house, so he threw himself into bed and went to sleep.
Soon, the next day arrived.
With the help of his subordinates, An Yi changed his clothes and went to the main courtyard.
"Lord Taishou, shall we go?"
Do all the high-ranking officials in the capital get up so early?
Taishou looked at An Yi, who got up so early, and his expression became more and more complicated.
"How?" An Yi frowned slightly, "Taishou, but what do you have to deal with?" ”
"Nope." Taishou smiled flatteringly, "Xia Guan is just thinking about whether the adult is a fairy and why he looks so good, and he was stupid for a while." ”
"Oh?" An Yi said with a playful face, "Lord Ben is a heavenly immortal? ”
"Yes, yes." Seeing An Yi say this, Taishou nodded vigorously, "Lord Qincha is peerless, beautiful and moving, and the lower officials are envious." ”
Peerless, glamorous and moving, these two are words to describe women. Taishou described him like this, did he compare him with a woman or a person in a green house?
An Yi's face changed slightly, "Is Lord Taishou comparing me to the Qinglou Xiaoqi?" ”
Taishou originally wanted to praise An Yi, and it was best to praise An Yi for forgetting to go to the mansion for a parade. But who would have thought, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg.
"It's not." Taishou shook his head like a rattle, "Although Xia Guan has read a lot of books, he can't find the words to describe Lord Qincha, and he made some mistakes for a while, I hope your lordship will forgive me." ”
"It's better to be like this." An Yi snorted coldly and strode out of the courtyard.
"Whew." Taishou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
Too guarded outside the house.
Chu Zhen stood next to An Yi like a pug, and that appearance seemed to be attached to him.
An Yi didn't pay attention to Chu Zhen, but walked slowly down the street.
The people stood on the side of the street in rags, and when they saw someone coming, they gathered around them.
"This young master, give me something to eat."
"Go away." An Yi pushed the people away in disgust, "You are so dirty, where did you come from to come to this official?" ”
"This official?!" The people were slightly stunned, and a trace of joy crossed their faces, "You were sent from the capital?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" An Yi glanced at the person with a slanted eye, "Something?" ”
The people's eyes rolled with a purr, the person sent by the capital to Jian'an, that is... Chincha-sama?
Thinking of this, the people knelt on the ground, "The grass people implore Lord Qin to repair a letter to the lord of the country and ask him to cancel the miscellaneous taxes. We, the people of Jian'an, really can't afford to pay so much silver. ”
As if he had heard something particularly funny, An Yi burst out laughing, "The annual tax is less than ten taels, and you can't pay the silver?" Do you think the official is easy to deceive, or do you think the official is wrong? ”
"Less than ten taels?!" The people's mouths opened into an O-shape, "Five or six hundred taels of silver a year, and you actually told us that it was less than ten taels?" ”
"It's really less than ten taels." An Yi said with a blinded look on the face of the little guy beside him.
He was originally serving by An Taifu's side, and he was temporarily assigned to An Yi, and he also knew a rough idea of the situation in the court.
After hearing this, his face became more and more dark. He is not a fool, and if he still can't see the trick in the matter of taxation, he should have written his name backwards.
"Lord Taishou, can you explain this matter to the official... What's going on? An Yi said coldly.
Not good!
Chu Zhen said to himself.
"The imperial court is sympathetic to the people of Jian'an, and has reduced a lot of your silver. You don't know how to be grateful, even if you don't know it, you are here to talk nonsense. Come on, hit this Diao Min for me! Chu Zhen said and kicked the people.
The words landed, and a few catchers quickly walked out of the crowd, and they mustered up all their strength to kick the poor people.
"You!" Despite the fact that the man was covered in blood from the arrest and kick, he still used his last strength to point at him, "You... You will be punished. ”
"Retribution?" Chu Zhen sneered, "The so-called retribution is just a deception to you ignorant people, do you really believe that there is retribution?" ”
Seeing that the people were beaten so miserably, An Yi felt a trace of unbearability in his heart. was about to help, but was stopped by the little guy next to him.
"The people are also human beings, and he has been beaten like that, and you still stop me from doing anything!"
