"One percent of the tax supply, you don't have to daydream, it's a big deal that this chief of the chief will not do it, at most I can give you three points of one percent, if you don't agree, then we will simply make a big deal about it!" Zhang Sheng has the attitude of breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, and the three points are still within the acceptable range, if these villagers are really greedy and endless, then he is no longer willing to use money to settle things.

After all, the 10% tax supply was his hard work accumulation for more than ten years, and if all of it was given to them, wouldn't it be back to before liberation?

Besides, how many decades can there be in life?

It is extremely uneconomical to exchange 10% of the tax supply for the job of the security chief, after all, the future is full of uncertainties, and once something goes wrong, the 10% of the money will really be wasted.

When the villagers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, summed up with each other, and agreed.

After all, Mu Zheng is not dead, and if he wants the other party to still follow his previous words, I am afraid that it is impossible.

Therefore, even if the three-point score of 10% deviated greatly from their original expectations, they had to accept it.

After all, if you make a big deal out of it, they won't get anything.

"I hope you do what you say, if you don't mean it, then don't blame us for being polite, without our cooperation, your position as a security chief will not be secure. ”

"Hmph, let's go. A few ruffians glared at them hatefully, and then left unwillingly.

......

Although Yueyan saved Mu Zheng, she did not interfere with the ruffians and oppressed the villagers.

There are too many grievances in the world, how can she ask them one by one?

Besides, even if those few ruffians are solved, what's the point?

If you don't address the root cause, you will never be able to effectively eliminate the problem.

And to put it bluntly, those ruffians are only acting on orders, without these ruffians, there will be other people who will come to take over the duties of those ruffians, who knows if the next group of people will be even more intensified?

Therefore, if you can't change the status quo, it's better to let him just keep it on for the time being.

"My lord, this is the little old man's humble house. Mu Zheng took Yueyan and a few people to a dilapidated house, in a row of houses in the countryside, it was not the worst, and it could barely be inhabited.

Yue Yan nodded, and entered it and found a place to sit and sit down, there was nothing decent in the room, even the stool was only made of a few pieces of rough wood.

"Do you hate them?" Yueyan didn't specifically refer to anyone, but she believed that Mu Zheng could understand.

"I don't want to hate it, if it were me, I would do the same, and the 10% tax payment would be enough for them to hold out for a while longer. Mu Zheng shook his head, living in this troubled world, being able to survive is the most important thing, as for those moral issues, compared to life, bullshit is not.

"How does the life of the new dynasty compare to before?" Yue Yan nodded, obviously thinking of the question in Mu Zheng's mouth.

But that wasn't the answer she wanted to hear.

And looking at the dilapidated appearance of Mu Zheng's family, it seems that it is not as impressive as when the Heavenly Dome Kingdom ruled.

"So-so, isn't it..."Mu Zheng glanced at Yue Yan in surprise, as if he didn't expect the other party to ask such a rebellious question.

"There's no one else here, just let it go, I won't spread it. Yueyan guessed that Mu Zheng didn't tell the truth, after all, he was talking about the court in private, but it was a big crime, in case it was heard by someone with a heart, but if he wanted to eat a lawsuit, how could an ordinary villager dare to talk about the court in vain?

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words, the life of the villagers was already hard, but coupled with the war, seeing the accident in the Tianqiong country, those Tu families are even more unscrupulous, and the taxes we have to pay every year have risen by 30% compared to the past. "Uncle Mu seems to have let go, if it weren't for Yueyan's righteous assistance, he would have been a dead man a long time ago, and how could he have the life to sit here and talk.

Yue Yan followed up and asked, "Is it only you like this, or is it generally like this across the country?"

"As far as I know, Tianfeng is the same all over the country, if there are not many taxes in other places, why should we wait here to die. "Mu Zheng is full of malice towards this country, when the Heavenly Dome Kingdom ruled, the tax supply was as high as thirty percent, and the seventy percent left behind could be used for ordinary people to live, although it was not rich and noble, but it would not be hungry.

However, as soon as the new country was established, the tax supply immediately rose by 60%, and the remaining 40%, how could they live?

Originally, he had the support of the surplus food left over from the past, but he could barely get by, but the previous accumulation, there will always be a day when he will sit and eat, once that time comes, what awaits him is only to become a homeless person and fall into the streets.

It's not that they haven't thought about resisting, but how can the helpless villagers be the opponents of power, and under the oppression of the butcher's knife, the villagers can only choose to obey.

Yueyan's face couldn't help but become a little ugly, if it was only one place, it could be pushed to the local officials, but if it was like this in almost all places, it would be a problem for the country.

"Is the government indifferent?"

"The government, I can't count on it. Mu Zheng shook his head, he didn't have a good impression of the government, if it weren't for the connivance of the government, how could those Tu families dare to act recklessly?

"I believe that this kind of day will not last long, after all, the new dynasty has just been established, there are too many things to solve, maybe the imperial court just has no time to take care of here for a while, and when they have their hands freed, they should start to rectify those Turkish families." Yueyan said helplessly, she couldn't slap herself in the face.

As for the issue of the government, if she guessed correctly, nine times out of ten, she should have eaten a kickback from a Turkish family.

If a country's officials are corrupt, it is doomed that the country will not be able to prosper, and if the people at the bottom are alienated from the country, it means that the country will not be able to go for a long time.

Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, after all, the elite class is only a minority, and the people are the people who occupy eight or nine tenths of the general trend in the world.

"I hope that as long as the tax supply can be restored to the way it used to be, then the people's lives will be much better. Mu Zheng sighed, obviously not optimistic in his heart.

......

Coming out of Mu Zheng, Yue Yan had a calm face and frowned, the officials of Tianfeng Country were even more corrupt than she imagined, if she came back for a while, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The current Tianfeng Kingdom seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, it is turbulent and hides murderous intentions.
