The old peasant shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Childe, these words are all about going in the left ear and going out of the right ear." Sanwa'er is right, the village chief's mother-in-law...... Well, it's the Yang Tian clan, which is quite unclean. The first time the official in the capital came, he fell in love with the Yang Tian clan and her...... hooked up with her, and because of this, the village chief had the official as a backer, and he had no fear to oppress us. ”

Han Moqi said: "Are you saying that the village chief knows that his mother-in-law is having an affair with that official?" ”

Sanwa'er nodded and said, "Why don't you know, there are a few people in the village who don't know." The official came every once in a while, and sometimes stayed at his house, and I once went to see it secretly, and the official and the woman were doing business in the house, and the village chief was sleeping in the hall, and I could hear his mother-in-law's screams outside the wall, so I didn't believe he couldn't hear them. He wished that the green hat was stable on top of his head. Maybe the official will come over again tonight! ”

The capital is dozens of miles away from Yangjia Village, which is not too far, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.

The old peasant stuffed the last piece of dim sum in his mouth and ate it, and then said: "It's strange to say, I've also heard people say that there are more than a dozen villages within 50 miles of the capital, and it seems that each village has added 20% of the tax...... Hey, the official asked us to pay it, how can we not pay it...... That's it, Childe, thank you for the snacks, this work should be done sooner! Without further ado, he got up and took the other two to work again.

Han Mo didn't get up, he sat on the ground, thoughtful.

If you don't guess wrong, the tax of more than a dozen villages adds up to 20%, then someone must have made trouble and filled their pockets, but who will do this?

"Uncle?" Han Mo muttered to himself, the household department is the yamen in charge of taxation, and Han Xuandao is the household department is still related to him? But with the thought at his head, Han Mo immediately dispelled it.

The household department is indeed the yamen that manages taxes, but the taxes within fifty miles of Yanjing City are managed by the inner treasury, and the collection of taxes is naturally collected by the inner treasury, and the household department is unable to intervene, thinking that it is not Han Xuandao, Han Mo is relieved.

But if it's not a household, then who is it? Could it be that the inner treasury itself wants to increase taxes? But more than a dozen villages combined, even if the tax is increased by 20%, it will not get much silver, but it will make the people dissatisfied with the royal family.

But if it weren't for the inner treasury, who would dare to oppose the inner treasury, go against the princess of the show, and collect taxes on the territory of the inner treasury? More than a dozen villages collect taxes, could it be that Princess Xiu can't get any news, so she just sits idly by

The more Han Mo thought about it, the more he felt that things were extremely strange, and he only felt that this matter was really weird.

If you really want to know the inside story, I'm afraid that you have to start with the official who had an adulterous affair with Yang Tian.

This matter was originally not about Han Mo's business, and maybe there was a very complicated background behind this seemingly insignificant matter, and if he investigated it without authorization, he might fall into a quagmire.

However, when he thought that the people in the village who had worked hard day and night were being oppressed like this, everyone looked helpless, and Han Mo only felt that he really couldn't sit idly by.

"To do something, you don't need to ask if it's worth it, but whether you're willing to do it!"

This is one of Han Mo's principles of doing things.

Although his identity is not destined to become a chic warrior, if he can help many people with righteousness, Han Mo really will not refuse.

……

Han Mo stood up, and saw a peasant in coarse cloth standing under the poplar tree not far away, that person was looking at him from a distance, standing elegantly, with a quiet temperament, and he was by no means a real peasant.

When the man saw Han Mo raise his head and see him, he showed a faint smile, hugged his fists, and then pointed to the side, Han Mo looked along his tidy up, only to see that there was a small table behind the person, and there were melons and fruits and wine on the table, and it seemed that he wanted to invite himself over for a drink.

Han Mo frowned slightly, but seeing from a distance, the person seemed to be very sincere, smiled faintly, stepped forward slowly, and was five or six steps away, only then did he see clearly that the other party was indeed a noble son with an elegant temperament, even if he was wearing coarse linen clothes, he couldn't hide the nobility that emanated from under his body.

The so-called "extravagance" is by no means an illusory and invisible thing, and people's language, movements, postures, and expressions will show that they are expensive.

At least this person's standing posture is an authentic aristocratic posture, elegant and unassuming, low-key but not humble.

"Hello!" Han Mo smiled and nodded.

The man also smiled faintly: "Hello! ”

"You're going to ask me for a drink?" Han Mo looked at the man with a smile.

The man nodded and said, "If Your Excellency appreciates the light, it will be an honor!" ”

"Quiet village, taste the food, Your Excellency is very stylish!" Han Mo stepped forward and bowed slightly.

The man returned the salute and said in a gentle voice: "The style varies from person to person, a place of joy, hospitality to the laity, a place of tranquility, an invitation to elegant people!" ”

Han Mo laughed and said, "It turns out that I am an elegant person? I really don't know. But are you sure you didn't ask the wrong person? If it's wrong, it's a little embarrassing. ”

The man also laughed and said, "Your Excellency is talking interestingly. Whether it's wrong or bad, sitting together is a friend, and since it's a friend, it won't be wrong. ”

"What you said seems to make a lot of sense." Han Mo smiled faintly: "But I don't seem to know Your Excellency, let alone any friends. ”

"All brothers in the four seas, all heroes in the world are friends, is this sentence wrong?" The man smiled and asked gently.

Han Mo shook his head and said: "This sound very arrogant, and it is also very free, but I don't dare to agree!" ”

"Listen to the teachings!"

"If all the worlds are brothers, and if the heroes of the world are all friends, then where is there strife in the world? Between brothers, they should love each other, why vendetta? Between friends, cherish each other, how can they betray? Han Mo said calmly: "What's more, I have never regarded myself as a hero, I am just a mortal, a mortal who wants to eat, drink and **!" ”

The man pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "The insights are unique and reasonable, it seems that I was wrong." ”

"So I think that if it is not a real like-mindedness, if it is not a real life and death relationship, then the word 'friend' cannot be desecrated." Han Mo smiled and said: "Sometimes even if you have a opposite position, but you can be like-minded and live and die, then you can be regarded as friends, friends are not just drinking a glass of wine and eating a meal of meat!" ”

"Makes sense, teachable!" The man bowed deeply.

Han Mo waved his hand and smiled: "It's just a fallacy, don't laugh!" ”

The man said gently: "In the lower yellow calendar, the yellow color, the calendar of the calendar, can you please have a glass of water and wine?" Just as a destined person. ”

Han Mo smiled: "I don't want to deceive you, but I won't tell you my real name either, so you can call me Xiao Wei...... It has nothing to do with the name, it's just a code name! ”

Huang Li's eyes crossed with a different color, but he smiled instantly: "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Wei!" ”

Only then did Han Mo step forward and sit down on the ground, filled the two wine cups with wine, raised the lamps and said, "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, thank you for inviting me to drink!" ”

Huang Li raised his lamp and said, "I also thank you for toasting me!" "Both of them took one bite at a time.

Putting down the wine cup, Huang Li lifted the wine cup, personally filled the wine cup of the two, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wei, what do you think of this wine?" ”

"Pure and fragrant, with a lingering fragrance in the mouth, that's a big wine!" Han Mo praised.

Huang Li pointed to the village and said, "Then do you think these people can drink such wine?" ”

Han Mo shook his head, "In their lifetime, there may not be a few people who can drink such fine wine...... I'm in luck! ”

"Why can't they drink like this?" Huang Li stared at Han Mo and asked softly: "This kind of wine is not complicated to make, but it is brewed with apricot blossom juice and grain, as long as everyone has a variety of grains and a variety of apricot blossoms, can't they all drink it?" ”

"They can't eat enough themselves, where does the grain come from to make wine? Although the apricot blossoms are good, they will only be planted when they have a full stomach and spare time. Han Mo heard the deep meaning in his words, and couldn't help but reply lightly.

"Why can't you get enough to eat?" Huang Li stared at Han Mo.

Han Mo smiled and asked rhetorically, "What does Your Excellency think?" ”

Huang Li stared at Han Mo, and did not answer immediately, muttering, and after a long time, he said word by word: "The family is fighting for power, the country is in turmoil, the enemy country is peeping, and there are too many soldiers, this is the root of their insatiability!" ”

Han Mo remained silent, if this was an ordinary farmer who said it, he would be a little surprised, but knowing that this person had an extraordinary background, he seemed very calm.

"Then, as you can see, how can we eliminate internal strife and external troubles?" Han Mo held his chin and stared at Huang Li and asked.

Huang Li said solemnly: "Revitalize the emperor's prestige, weaken the family, promote the virtuous and capable, support the society of the Yan country, make great efforts, enrich the country and strengthen the army, dominate the world, under the great determination, the world is peaceful, the people are happy, and naturally there is good wine to drink!" ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "I am full of strength and admiration. ”

Huang Li looked up at the sky, and then looked at Han Mo and said, "Your Excellency thinks my words are reasonable?" ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense, but it doesn't seem to make sense!" ”

"Oh!" Huang Li frowned and said, "Please also advise!" ”

"I can't talk about teaching, but Your Excellency said that the emperor's prestige is revived, this statement is a bit ridiculous, my Yan country is wise and mighty, the emperor's prestige is prosperous, and the Yan kingdom is loyal, even if Wei Qingfeng is in the Three Kingdoms, they are also afraid of my emperor's prestige, how can I say that I want to revive the emperor's prestige?"

Huang Li immediately said: "Your Excellency's words come from the bottom of your heart? ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency doesn't think so?" ”

Huang Li sneered: "I treat Your Excellency with sincerity, and Your Excellency seems to be just perfunctory to me. The power of the family is heavy, the imperial power is weak, who in the Yan Kingdom can't see it, why should Your Excellency deceive yourself? ”

Han Mo still had a faint smile and said calmly: "Xiaomin doesn't talk about state affairs, you and I only drank a glass of wine, but why are we all drunk?" It seems that although this wine is made from apricot blossoms, it is very intoxicating. ”

Huang Li's eyes crossed the haze, but he still smiled: "I'm afraid that if you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk!" Xiao Wei, could it be that you have never had the ambition to change the fate of this country? Are you just going to let this country degenerate and sink little by little? Are you willing to see the people of Yan Kingdom suffer day by day? We are all young people, young people, and we always have to be ambitious! ”

Han Mo stood up, pointed to the three babies on Yan'er's roof, and said calmly, "Do you know what his ambition is?" If I guessed correctly, his ambition is just to marry a big** daughter-in-law, give him children, and take care of the housework for him, and he himself hopes to have a piece of land, cultivate it well, and live peacefully with his wife and children. This ambition is not ambitious, but it is very real, and everyone must be realistic in order to establish their ambition. His ambition is very small, but it is very touching, but this small ambition is often overwhelmed by the so-called big ambition of some people, and a big ambition can destroy countless small ambitions......! ”

Huang Li frowned and did not speak.

Han Mo picked up the wine cup, regained his smile like a spring breeze, and said, "I'm glad you can invite me to drink, if I have the opportunity, I will invite you to drink!" He raised his lamp, said no more, hugged his fists, and turned around to leave.

Huang Li stared at Han Mo's back and walked away, with a complicated look in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Han Mo, Han Mo, with your intelligence, vote for me, why worry about not succeeding in a big deal!" I'm waiting for you, I'll give you another chance and don't let me down! ”
