Chapter 16 Difficulty in Debt Collection

Young Master Li has a fame, this is a big event.

Although this merit was only given by the emperor, it was also a merit.

With fame, the Li family is a real squire.

With fame, the Li family will not have to pay taxes in the future, and they will no longer be apportioned to labor.

Li Changyue cried excitedly, the villagers danced happily, and even some farmers bought firecrackers and ran to the front of the Zhuangzi to blow up the thunderbolt, which was more exciting than the New Year, and more farmers wondered whether to buy a chicken and send it to the Zhuangzi.

The common people in this era are very simple, as long as you are good to him, they will dig out their hearts to you.

Although there are some cases, they are only a minority.

For the Zhuang households of the Li family, the young master has the fame of Jinshi, which is definitely the most important of the big things, not only because the young master exempted them from paying taxes this year, but more importantly, they don't have to worry about being apportioned by the government for that damn labor.

Some people even speculated that since the main family no longer has to pay taxes to the imperial court, will it be exempted from taxes next year?

Well, that's what you think about, no one would say it without interest.

"As for being happy like this?"

Li Chuan was a little speechless, he was happy for a while, and then he didn't pay much attention.

The Li family has more than 300 acres of land, and no matter how much tax they pay, it is less than 1,000 taels of silver.

With Taobao, he is equivalent to having a silver mountain, will he still care about that bit of silver?

"Young Master!"

Li Changyue said with a flushed face: "This is a big event of the glorious lintel, how can the old slave not be excited, if the lord and the lady know under the nine springs, they will definitely be very happy, no, the old slave is going to give the lord and the lady incense." ”

Just ran away as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and beckoned Li Mantong to go.

All right!

Li Chuan was helpless, so he could only let it go.

"Young Master, what are you going to eat in the afternoon?"

Wang Guihua came over and asked for instructions excitedly.

Li Chuan said: "Just get some!" ”

Wang Guihua couldn't help but say, "Do you want to make a table and have a banquet?" ”

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, understood what she meant, and nodded: "Then you can get it, uh, no, one table is enough, just do a big banquet, if you want to get it, you can get a dozen tables, let all the dealers come to have a meal, and have fun!" ”

"Ugh!"

This time it was Wang Guihua's turn to be confused, and Ai Ai said: "Young master, I can't do it alone!" ”

Li Chuan waved his hand: "Then go and call someone, tell the farmers to come to the banquet tomorrow, and then call a few people who are good at cooking to come over and help you, and I will let people go to the city to buy things in a while, don't be afraid of spending money, let go of it." ”

What else can Wang Guihua say, she can only respond, and hurry out of the village to call someone.

The village where the villagers live is just a few hundred meters away.

Wang Guihua went to the village and shouted, and the village immediately boiled.

The next day.

Lijiazhuang is as lively as the New Year, no, it is more lively than the New Year.

The farmers were no longer numb, and all of them had smiles on their faces, all of them beaming.

"Congratulations to the young master for becoming a jinshi master!"

Knowing that the young master had no shelf, the villagers were less restrained and dared to talk to the young master Li.

Li Chuan looked at the man who congratulated him, and he was in a very happy mood, so he quipped: "I am happy and happy, but Lao Liu, I think you are happier than me, could it be that your mother-in-law promised to let you marry another concubine?" ”

"Uh, no, no!"

Liu Asi's face froze, and cold sweat came down.

The nearby Zhuang households laughed, they all knew that Lao Liu was tracheitis, and they were ready to turn around and tell everyone about it, as for how Liu Asi's mother-in-law cleaned him up, it was none of everyone's business.

"Eat and drink well when you come!"

Li Chuan never put up any shelves with the ordinary people, and personally greeted the villagers: "I don't have any rules, everyone is free to do what they should do, but it is rare to have a banquet, although everyone let go of their bellies to eat and drink, the dolls go to the East House, where there are the candies I prepared for the dolls, and the adults don't rob the dolls." ”

The dealers laughed again, and the momentum became more enthusiastic.

Li Chuan continued: "Today I will let me go, the imperial court exempted the Li family from taxes, originally I wanted to exempt your future taxes, but people can't develop the habit of taking advantage, so from next year onwards, everyone can pay a percent of the tax, if it is really difficult to get by, you can also come to me, provided that you can't be lazy, lazy people don't come to me." ”

"Thank you, young master!"

"The young master lives a long life!"

……

The dealers all clamored with excitement, and their faces flushed with excitement.

Only 10% of the tax will be charged, and it will start next year.

This is great news again.

There is nothing more exciting news for the dealers.

……

Su family.

Su Xiaomei dragged her tired body back to Zhuangzi and asked casually: "What is the Li family doing, so lively?" ”

A mother-in-law greeted her and said enviously: "I heard that Young Master Li Chuan got the holy decree, and the emperor gave him a fellow Jinshi and became a Jinshi master, Li Jiazhuang is setting up a banquet to celebrate, and all the Zhuang households of the Li family have gone to eat." ”

"What?"

Su Xiaomei was surprised: "There is still such a thing? ”

The mother-in-law nodded again and again: "Then Master Li has been taking the exam for three years, and he has not been admitted to Xiucai, and he doesn't know what luck he has taken, but he can be rewarded by the emperor's holy decree, everyone says that there is green smoke on Master Li's grave!" ”

"Ugh!"

Su Xiaomei was speechless, and she couldn't understand what kind of luck Li Chuan had taken.

He went back to the inner courtyard and rested for a while before he asked someone to call the housekeeper.

After a while, the housekeeper Su Zhenping came in a hurry and arched his hand: "Miss! ”

"Uncle Ping is exempt!"

Su Xiaomei waved her hand and asked, "How are the Western floor tiles selling?" ”

Su Zhenping said excitedly: "All of them are sold out, the old slave thinks that a floor tile is sold cheaply for twelve taels of silver, although those big families say that it is expensive, but they buy it for hundreds or thousands, plus the nine thousand in the back, Young Master Li gave the young lady a total of 10,000 Western floor tiles, but it is still not enough to sell, yesterday the Wu family also sent someone to ask, when will it be available." ”

Su Xiaomei rubbed her temples and said, "Wait until I go and ask Li Chuan tomorrow." ”

Su Zhenping answered, and asked again: "What about the silver, miss, do you want to send it over today?" ”

Su Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "The Li family is setting up a banquet, don't send it yet, I'll bring it over tomorrow!" ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Has the money of the He family been recovered?" ”

Su Zhenping's face was a little not good-looking, and said: "Yesterday, the old slave went on a trip, and He Dahu said that the capital turnover has been a little tight recently, and he will be sent over when the turnover opens in a few days, which is obviously a pretext." ”

Su Xiaomei sighed and said: "Uncle Ping urges more, business is becoming more and more difficult to do, the debts owed outside cannot be recovered, the hands of the farmers will become tighter and tighter, everyone has children to support, we are okay if we are wronged, we can't be wronged." ”

Su Zhenping nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll go over every day to urge." ”
