Outside the company, a group of villagers who are still thinking about buying meat for their children after finishing their work can only look at each other.

Not to mention eating meat, there is no water canal, and the shoulder can be worn out just by carrying water for rice planting.

And if a pond is built next to the village, there is no need to go to the river one mile away from the village to fetch water, and it is always convenient to use water.

Now it's all in vain.

The culprit is the village chief who suddenly kills out.

In front of the village chief, everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and they could stare at them with resentful eyes.

But he didn't dare to express it in the slightest, and still said politely: "The village chief, since I don't work, I'll go home." ”

"Mother is still waiting for the two of us to go back to fetch water, let's go first."

Dozens of people disappeared in less than a cup of tea.

The village chief stroked his beard and was surprised that Su Baiya was so easy to bow to him? A deep look at the cornucopia company.

...

Ou Jian was a little unwilling: "Mr. Su, let's give up?" The village chief deliberately came to find fault and asked me to show the magistrate to say. ”

Su Baiya smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, you just wait, it won't be long before the start of work can be officially started." ”

Ou Jian nodded, and didn't ask more.

The village is so big, and the news spreads quickly.

The prospect of rice planting and the construction of a water collection pond in the coming year caused an uproar in the village.

Xia Xiang had dinner, and several old ladies sat under the banyan tree and chattered.

Mrs. Zhou looked around to see that there was no one, and then lowered her voice and said: "Did this village chief take the wrong medicine or something, what a good thing it is to build a collection pond, stop when you say stop." ”

Mrs. Liu nodded heavily: "Who said no, you guys are okay, my children are not around, just me and the old man, going to the river to fetch water every day can cost us half our lives." ”

"Why don't you go and talk to the village chief and let Mr. Su continue to repair? I can still earn a lot of money for ten yuan a day's wages. ”

"What's the use of us going, we have to ask Uncle Zhou and others to go out."

"You and Uncle Zhou are your cousins, can you talk about it?"

...

The next day, several elderly people from the two villages gathered at the village chief's house to express their intentions.

The village chief sat on top and looked at the people below with a gloomy face.

He didn't really want to embarrass Su Baiya and make it impossible to build a canal.

I just want to show myself the supremacy of this village through this matter.

Honor when you should be filial, and bow your head when you dare to bow your head.

Now it's good that those who should have come have not come, and those who shouldn't have come.

If this will loosen up, then what prestige is there to speak of, and how can the village be governed!

"There is no need to mention this matter, digging the river and building a dam is a big deal, Su Yatou gave up easily yesterday, I think it is a whim to build a dam."

"No, I heard that Su always found someone to discuss the repair of the dam, and the dam gate and other things are already in the making, so there shouldn't be any problems, I think the village chief is too worried."

The village chief snorted coldly: "You are responsible for what happened?" ”

One sentence blocked all the words of everyone.

In the end, it broke up.

Uncle Zhou and Uncle Liu walked at the back with crutches and whispered: "Since this Zhang Dalang became the village chief, he has become more and more ignorant of us. ”

"A credible assurance... Alas, it's all angry when I don't talk about it. ”

"I think this Da Lang is worried that Su Yatou's status will surpass her," Uncle Zhou looked around and said, "After all, the ten-year deadline is coming soon." ”

"This is too much to worry about, after all, Su Yatou is a woman, what can she do?"

"Can't a woman get married? Don't forget that her father is still a county magistrate, I think Zhou Dalang is in a hurry this time. ”

"That's a good show."

...

Today's village chief is jointly elected by the villagers, and it is not true that it is said to be elected.

The rules are set for the poor, and if you are rich and powerful, you can break the rules.

The villagers have no status, which means that they have no right to speak, and at the same time, they worry about three meals a day all day, so they still have the heart to take care of other things.

It is mainly a few old men from relatively wealthy families in the village who have weight in their words.

These old men think who is suitable, then elect whom, and then report to the county for the record.

Whoever offers the greatest benefits will naturally be suitable.

The main job of the village chief was to administer conscription and taxation, but in fact he had no rights and was not an official position.

However, the tax is levied by each household in the summer and autumn of each year, and after the collection is completed, it is sent to the county office.

The tax in Qulan Town is mainly chestnut rice, supplemented by silver, silk and other things, and the tax rate of Mintian is about 30 taxes and 1

However, the county government will not ask the village chief how much he has collected from each household, but will only check whether the total amount is up to standard.

Because of this, if you maintain a good relationship with the village chief, you can pay less to a certain extent or within the scope of your authority.

At the same time, the same is true for conscription, which can always be assigned to a certain extent to be a little easier.

Conscription and taxation are linked to the vital interests of the villagers, and how dare they disrespect the village chief.

In the past ten years, the village chief has not gained any benefits from using this position compared with the business he has done, and the official authority has also enjoyed the same.

I have been waiting for my term to leave office for a long time, and I will move out of the village with my family to enjoy life.

But the appearance of Su Baiya, or the appearance of the cornucopia company, disrupted the village chief's plan.

Fruit mushrooms make every household a lot of money, which means that next season's tax revenue may exceed the sum of ten years.

In this way, the county government still pays the taxes according to the previous years, wouldn't it be able to make a lot of benefits from it?

At the same time, the cornucopia is still under his jurisdiction, and he also reaps a little benefit from it from time to time.

For these reasons, the village chief decided that he would be re-elected.

If you want to be re-elected, you must first suppress Su Baiya's arrogance.

...

Su Baiya returned to the Heavenly Domain.

She divided the cultivation of rice into two pieces.

One field retains plenty of water, and the other correspondingly only keeps the soil moist.

Sure enough, although the rice in the field with less water also had ears, it was nothing compared to the other rice with sufficient water.

Looking at the golden and full ears of wheat, Su Baiya's heart had a bottom.

If you don't want to have an extra job, you will go to each household to eat, and the villagers will of course take this opportunity to inquire about the news of rice.

At this time, Wu Xian will make a very regretful look: "Mr. Su has found a way to grow rice here, and the yield is very good, but unfortunately, the premise of high yield is that there can be no shortage of water halfway, but it may be difficult to carry water from the river alone, and people are tired and panicked." ”

With fruit mushrooms as a premise, the villagers are convinced of the words of the immortals.

They gathered together to discuss how to build dams, dig canals, and grow rice to live a happy life.
