Li Boyan looked at a group of gentlemen of the same age, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, chattering and complaining to him, thinking that it must be the idea of the group of old ghosts upstairs. It stands to reason that the Li family exempted the tenants' Ding tax and household tax, which is the Li family's own business, even if Tian Bai is given away, it will not be their turn to speak.

It's just that he was unwilling, so he looked for these bear children who didn't have a lot of weight to disgust Li Boyan.

"You can still bite me?"

"You! Crazy Li, you are hurting others and not benefiting yourself! ”

Li Boyan said: "I am willing! You bite me! ”

Even Chu Mingzhe and Pan Chao, a few people who mess with Li Boyan on weekdays can't stand it anymore, far away from him, this kid is too cheap, and he is already so cheap that he is lawless.

He Changqian was happy to see Li Boyan deflated, as long as Li Boyan's reputation was poor, the white building that was about to become a threat would not constitute a threat.

"Everyone, be quiet. Today, the old man of my family has a big birthday, and he has a face, and he has to say a word. ”

This group of gentlemen glanced at He Changqian, and said in their hearts, give you a face, how big a face you are, and you want me to wait to give you face, now it is a matter of how much money there is in the bag, and it is difficult to seize an opportunity to attack it en masse, why give you face.

"Chang Qian, what's so noisy, today the old man is on his birthday, so he can't settle down?"

The eldest master of the He family came down from upstairs and saw Li Boyan standing opposite many gentlemen like a flock, and immediately understood what was going on, and said: "It's Da Lang, since you are all in charge, although your uncle will go upstairs to have a banquet." ”

"How can this be convenient, or downstairs."

The eldest man of the He family grabbed Li Boyan's sleeve and said, "Eh, if you make it, you will make it, and the positions will be lined up for you, so hurry up." With that, he pulled Li Boyan and walked upstairs.

The people downstairs were stunned.

What is the situation, the third ancestor of Yongzhou, is on an equal footing with their father's generation? What kind of business is this?

However, when Li Boyan went upstairs and saw the heads of wealthy families of all sizes in Yongzhou City sitting together, and some of the old and dead people who did not interact with each other on weekdays were sitting around a table, he realized that today's birthday greeting was fake, and the "ambush" of him was real.

"Hello uncles, there are a lot of people, so the juniors won't meet them one by one."

He Mingde entered and wore a shroud with red silk and black lines, held his cane with a smile, and beckoned to Li Boyan: "Sit down." Today you are a guest, so you don't have to be polite. Everyone is ready, serve the food. Dalang, come and sit next to me, but I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Li Boyan smiled, I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you at all.

"Let's not talk much, Da Lang, today's old man is on his birthday, please come over, I have something to ask for, and I hope that Da Lang can look at the face of his friendship in the world and sell his old man a face."

Li Boyan smiled secretly in his heart, yes, something happened.

"Old lady He has something to say, that is, all of you here are Bo Yan's elders, if there is anything difficult, Da Lang will definitely help." Naturally, the words must be said beautifully, otherwise put up a shelf, really think of a third ancestor, the appearance of a cow coaxing, it is estimated that the opening of the White Building will have great resistance.

He Mingde smiled and said, "I heard that Dalang exempted the Ding tax and household tax of the tenants on the Zhuangzi? ”

"Oh, Mrs. He said at the right time, just downstairs, all the sons and brothers in the house, they almost drowned me with a mouthful of spit."

The masters of the families on the side sneered one by one and drowned? It's light enough not to kill you.

"Da Lang wants to do good deeds, support the pot in front of the door, Shi rice soup porridge is, no matter how bad it is, send money to the field, this is exempt from household tax, or exempt from doing it."

When Li Boyan saw the person who spoke, he knew him. The Jia family in the east of Yongzhou City, their ancestors were engaged in the leather business in the north in their early years, and later the war spread and moved south. There is no other business in Yongzhou, so he relies on a lot of ancestral fields to eat, compared to the He family and the Chu family, his actions obviously directly hurt the muscles and bones of the Jia family.

"Why did Master Jia say that?"

Before the feast had been moved, these people could not hold back the purpose of their trip.

Another rich man in the city said in a strange manner: "Li Dashan really doesn't know, or is he pretending to be confused." You're exempt from household tax, what do you let us do? ”

"You guys?" Li Boyan pretended to be confused and said, "The exemption of Ding tax and household tax is because the Li family has too many vacant fields and is just recruiting tenants, what does it have to do with you?" ”

He Mingde saw Li Boyan pretending to be confused like this, not angry but laughing, and said: "Da Lang, you are a good person, and we have all become evil people. Originally, the household tax was collected by the imperial court, and those tenants could only complain about the heavy tax of the imperial court. Now that you have been exempted from the Ding tax, all the tenants in Yongzhou know that these tenants who have come to your Li family have all gone from other families. This didn't make you the tenants of the Li family, and they still complained in the Zhuangzi, saying that we lords were mean. ”

"What Mrs. He said is, Da Lang, these untouchables don't know what to do, don't look at the good that you accept now, maybe one day you kick your nose in the face, and you won't do it. I've calculated, you're exempt from Ding tax and household tax, and you can't collect a few rents all year round, isn't it in vain? ”

"It's better than being wild." To say that before Li Boyan was not in charge, the tenants in Yongzhou were reluctant to go to his Li family as tenants, because why, this was a tenant in their old Li family, maybe when, as soon as their eyes were closed and opened, this field would not be their Li family, such an unstable factor, they were afraid of becoming a tenant of the unemployed vagrant, and they were unwilling to be tenants of the Li family.

Seeing these unfamiliar rich people in the city, they all looked like they were spitting and spitting, and they didn't want to whisper to Li Boyan, Chu Lifang's quick temper made him angry when he heard it, and said directly: "Da Lang, Mingzhe and you are also playmates from childhood to adulthood, and Uncle won't talk to you about those useless things." These wealthy families in the city mean the same as the uncle, and we don't care about the fact that these tenants have all come to your Li family. Now it's a point, can't you exempt those household taxes anymore, can you do it? ”

Those rich men who were reluctant to communicate with their juniors breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said everything they had to say.

Li Boyan smiled slightly and said, "This...... I'm afraid I can't follow my uncle's wishes. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This ...... What are you doing with me? ”

Li Boyan said helplessly: "The reason why those tenants on the Zhuangzi are willing to stay in the Li family Zhuangzi in a down-to-earth manner is that they are exempted from the household tax, and the second is that they are ...... It's a long-term contract. ”

"Long appointment? How long is it? ”

"Not much, twenty years."

Ahem.

"I'll go!"

"Nonsense!"

At the birthday banquet, when everyone heard about the age of twenty years, they were not calm.
