Chapter 237: Tian Tax

Xiucai took the hydrangea, was grateful, and insisted on inviting Jun Mochen and Yu Changge to the tavern for a talk.

Jun Mochen's trip to visit and explore the people's situation should not be made public.

However, it was difficult to show off the kindness of Xiucai, and saw Yu Changge talking with the rich lady very happily, and immediately agreed to have a drink in this restaurant the next day.

This little master of the Qian family was humiliated by his failure to rob his relatives, and he was resentful at the moment, and he didn't like anyone.

"How can this wine and food be so clear and watery today, and it tastes like chewing wax?"

Young Master Qian threw the wine cup on the ground, and the maid on the side was splashed all over her body.

"Back to ...... Back to the young master, this year's floods and plagues have continued, the harvest is not good, and the house can only buy some coarse brown rice these days, and the butcher shop has not opened for many days......"

"! That poor sour show is pretending to be powerful in front of me, insulting me for being illiterate, why are you a coarse person who is also talking nonsense today, and playing sloppy with me here? ”

As he spoke, he slapped her in the face hard.

The maid was so frightened that she landed on her knees, "Little ...... The villain didn't dare, but the little guy who usually buys ingredients said that he couldn't buy good meat and eggs these days. ”

"How is it that the flood has flooded all the crops in the field, and the birds and beasts have been carried out by the flood through their bowels?"

"Hong ...... Not a single animal was killed by the flood, but without crop rations, the animals were starved and left without food. ”

Little Master Qian thought about it for a while, it seemed reasonable, but he loved his face, and his voice was still not half a minute, "Can't you catch some moths and reptiles to stuff the stomachs of animals without millet as rations?" ”

"......" The maid said in her heart that the big guys don't care about the rotten crops, and every day one person, one stick and one bottle get together to dig up insects?

It may not be a question of whether you can eat meat or not, and you may not even be able to drink porridge.

"Why is Qian Shao so angry?" Young Master Qian originally wanted to be angry with the maid, but when he turned his head, he saw Qi Yan, the second son of the Qi family, coming to visit at this moment.

"Brother Jinyu laughed, but a few subordinates were messing around, saying that they couldn't buy minced meat at this moment, but fortunately, I had insight into everything on weekdays, so I was not bewitched by his slanderous words."

"...... "That's really wronged that you don't go out of the door and don't step out, and you can see and expose our "slander" with subtle knowledge.

"Haha, Brother Jingyi is really a god! However, I did hear that some people had recently lied about the bad harvest and refused to pay the land tax prescribed by the imperial court.

This spread from 10 to 100, and even the households with a field area refused to pay if they were in arrears, and we, the hard-working officials, had to pay out of our own pockets to fill the treasury. ”

"Such a thing! How unreasonable! I look at these Diao people......"

When Young Master Qian said this, he suddenly had an enlightenment, these Diao Minbao do not include the poor and sour talents who robbed him in public today?

Looking at the appearance of the showman with low eyebrows and pleasing ears, he does not look like a "good citizen" who pays taxes.

"Brother Jinyu doesn't know, earlier today, I met a poor sour talent and robbed me of a kiss on the street. I look at that little lady, with bright teeth and eyebrows, and a beautiful appearance.

I really can't bear her being led into the Diao Min's mansion by that poor and sour Xiucai, working on firewood, rice, oil and salt! If this Diao Min violates any laws in the future and is beheaded for public display, won't this little lady have to stay alive and widow in the future! ”

"Brother Jingyi's worries are reasonable, according to Brother Jingyi's meaning, he wants to ......"

"Strictly investigate the tenants who have recently defaulted on land taxes, and if they do not pay them, they will all be issued to the frontier and serve the military service tax to do the work on their behalf!"

"Good! In this way, I can make an example of a hundred, and I will draft a fold tomorrow and report it to the saint! ”

The next day, Jun Mochen took Yu Changge to the agreed tavern to go to the meeting with Xiucai.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere slowly became a little hot, Jun Mochen looked at the little lady, her skin was like jade, her thin lips were slightly open, and her apricot eyes seemed to have the sun, moon and stars, and she couldn't help but slander: Fortunately, such a stunner didn't let the little boy of Qian spoil it!

"Where do you look?"

Jun Mochen was in a trance for a moment, and his mind was suddenly pulled back by Changge's slightly sullen reprimand.

"Of course, it's the lady who watches my family's closed moon and shy flowers!" Jun Mochen laughed with him, and if he was disobedient with both hands, he wanted to circle Changge, but Changge deftly dodged it.

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, you are obviously coveting Miss Qiao's beauty!"

Jun Mochen's careful thinking was broken, and he didn't seem flustered, and the corners of his mouth gently outlined an evil smile.

"Yo, my little song is jealous!"

"You're not ashamed in broad daylight! I look at your thief's eyebrows, beware of Gongzi Qin's turn of face and deny people later! ”

Miss Qiao covered her mouth and snickered, "Changge and your husband are really in love!" ”

"Stop making fun of me! Every day, I only get angry with him! ”

This time, Qin Xiucai couldn't help laughing, "You are talented and beautiful, and you can always accompany each other, it's really enviable!" ”

"Where is Gongzi Qin, you and Miss Qiao are also talented and beautiful, and they have a relationship because of hydrangea, they are really a natural pair!"

Qin Gongzi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the corner of his eye glanced at Jun Mochen, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed hard.

Yu Changge took in this scene, and thought to himself, could this Qin Gongzi have something unspeakable to hide, and he couldn't help but confide in front of the important members of the court?

"Qin Gongzi, you see that we are also destined to get acquainted. Mochen and I usually like to make friends with talents like you who are pure in temperament, courage, and ambition.

Today, there is no distinction between high and low at our wine table, and my Mochen is a stunned young man in the court, and he can only be used as cannon fodder for his top boss.

You can think of him as a mallet, and if you have any worries, even if you spit it out, he won't be able to solve it anyway. ”

…… Together, you will marry a mallet and spend a good day with a wooden stick every night.

Miss Yu laughed, no matter what Jun Gongzi said, he had already obtained an official position, and his life was guaranteed.

You see, this year I am almost in the age of confusion, and my family has been a farmer for generations, but they have provided me with the four books and the five classics.

However, the talent is dull, and now he is about to be selected, and now when he will go to Beijing to participate in the palace examination, he is fortunate to meet Miss Qiao, but he doesn't want to let her stay alone in the empty room just after the wedding......"

"Why did Lang Jun say this, I had already announced in public that the time when the hydrangea was thrown was the time when I Qiao Yingxue was destined.

Not to mention a temporary separation, even if I am asked to wait for four or five years, I will definitely guard the boudoir and wait for Lang Jun to return! ”

Qin Xiucai couldn't help but be moved, and reached out to stroke the jade wrist.

Changge thought that the two people who loved so much had to be forced to separate due to the difference in family background and class, but fortunately, the Qiao family's parents were quite enlightened and did not beat the mandarin ducks because of this wrong household.
