Chapter 2: Forced Marriage (2)
"This official came this time, not to celebrate his birthday, and second, not to confess or propose, but to collect taxes, please make up the tax owed as soon as possible, otherwise the official has to take the girl back to the government and investigate according to the law!"
The righteous voice and the official look were very deceptive, making it difficult for Lu Jiu to connect the serious man in front of her with the goblin who was debauched in her bed half a month ago.
Lu Jiu took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry, not to be angry, not to be angry, not to be angry, not to be angry, not to be angry, to be angry fell into his plan, but she really couldn't help it!
Grass (a plant)!
Fu Lanqing, you're good!
Although she did it first half a month ago, Fu Lanqing was voluntary, she didn't force him, and she didn't overlord force the bow, it was wishful thinking!
Because there was a small accident at that time, she was very angry, and she ran away in anger, but he evaporated from the world for half a month, and originally thought that this matter would be over, and no one would suffer anyway.
But Lu Jiu never thought that Fu Lanqing would turn his face and deny people, and he would disappear for half a month, but he would make trouble on her birthday!
Lu Jiu endured his anger and gritted his teeth for a while: "Lao Tzu has always abided by the law and never evaded taxes!" ”
said that he was not angry, but even "Lao Tzu" soared out, which shows that Lu Jiu is not ordinary angry.
Seriously, she has traveled through ancient times for more than two years, although she has a good relationship with Fu Lanqing, a parent official, she has never evaded taxes and evaded taxes, and she is a law-abiding taxpayer.
Moreover, when Lu Jiu first came through, she was an abandoned woman from a poor family, she directly sued the scumbag in court, and Fu Lanqing accepted it at the beginning, sentenced her to break off with the scumbag Lin Wenyien, and even awarded all the property of the Lin family to her.
(Fu Lanqing: I helped my daughter-in-law get divorced!) )
Not only that, Fu Lanqing also helped her set up a female household.
Female households enjoy the privilege of exemption and tax reduction in terms of forced labor, and they can't collect much tax at all, Lu Jiu pays taxes honestly every year, and never relies on his good relationship with his parents and officials to evade taxes and do this kind of illegal business.
"You want to catch me?" Lu Jiu looked at Fu Lanqing and sneered: "Take out the evidence, otherwise you will ......"
His eyes swept around Fu Lanqing's body, and then said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you can only walk out of the door of my Lu family sideways!" ”
Fu Lanqing said unhurriedly: "Miss Lu, don't get excited, the tax collected by this official this time is not a commercial tax, but a single tax." ”
Lu Jiu: "Single...... Single Tax? "What the hell is that?
"There is a law in the east, if a woman does not marry between the ages of thirteen and twenty, she will be fined five thousand silver, which is a single tax."
When Lu Jiu heard this, he almost vomited blood: "You have to pay five thousand taels a year?" ”
Fu Lanqing bowed slightly: "Exactly." ”
Don't panic!
Steady, Lao Tzu can win!
Lu Jiu said seriously: "But, I've already been married!" ”
Fu Lanqing retorted: "But you are now a free body. ”
Lu Jiu's face was generous: "There is a way that a daughter does not marry a second husband, I have no intention of remarrying, I want to keep the festival for my dead husband, I want to be a chaste martyr, and I will ask for a chastity archway in the future to accompany me for the rest of my life." ”
Fu Lanqing: "......" is not dead yet, he is alive and well!
"Anyway, I can't forget my dead father-in-law, Wenyi, I ......"
Lu Jiu's play was just halfway through, and he was directly interrupted by the vinegared Fu Lanqing: "If you really have a deep affection for Lin Wenyi, you will sue him in court, let him go to prison and go bankrupt, and even when you hear the news of his death, you almost go crazy with joy?" ”
"Love is deeply responsible, hatred is not made of steel, the other side of hate is love, do you understand?" Lu Jiu glanced at Fu Lanqing: "Also, when he died, I was not crazy with joy, but sad and almost crazy, you won't understand this kind of deep love." ”
Fu Lanqing: "......"
I don't know love?
What a joke!
It's all nonsense, and Fu Lanqing feels that he can't talk about Lu Jiu again, because he has never won once.
Just when Fu Lanqing couldn't help but take it to heart, he suddenly remembered one thing, what was he here for?
He just came to "force marriage" in the open!
No matter how wild Lu Jiu said, this time, she has to ...... if she doesn't marry Ahem, if you don't marry, don't marry, he can get rich.
"More than 20 years ago, the long-term war in the eastern border country led to a sharp decline in population, and His Majesty issued this law, which is to solve the development of our country's population, as long as a woman who has reached the age of twenty and has no children, whether it is a divorced daughter or a widow, she must marry and have children, otherwise she will have to pay a huge single tax!"
"The archway of chastity was abolished twenty years ago, even if it is really as Miss Lu said, she has a deep affection for Lin Wenyi's cheap man, as long as you still have a breath, you must marry and have children, otherwise it will be illegal and undisciplined, and Miss Lu doesn't want to be arrested and put in prison at the end of the year, so that her family is worried, right?"
Lu Jiu was silent for a long time, and then looked at his family.
She and Fu Lanqing were tense, but her family members didn't have a scared look on their faces, and they weren't even in a hurry at all, everyone only had pretentious worries on their faces, and a little excitement, and they acted as Fu Lanqing's lobbyists, so they almost waved their flags to Fu Lanqing.
The words of the family are summed up in one sentence, that is-
"Jiu'er, the matter has come to this, you are gone!"
If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates!
Lu Jiu originally intended to be responsible, but is volunteering and being forced to be responsible the same concept?
Fu Lanqing looked at Lu Jiu, with a face in his hand: "Although Miss Lu has been married, she doesn't even have a son and a half daughter under her knees, today is the twelfth day of the lunar month, it is Miss Lu's twentieth birthday, if the girl refuses to get married, then she will pay five thousand taels of taxes, as long as Miss Lu obediently pays the money, the official will leave immediately, and will never delay Miss Lu's birthday banquet!" ”
Lu Jiu: "...... "What is the bad thing about five thousand taels of silver, you have to think of not using it to pay this strange tax?"
Not to mention that she is poor now, she can't take out so much money at all, even if she can take it out, even if she gives it to beggars, it is better than being taken away by the damned court!
Yes.
Lu Jiu has no money.
Although she is the richest man in Qinghe County, and even the richest woman in the city, all her money is real estate, most of her working capital is used to invest in business, and she also raised a gold-swallowing beast, leaving only a small part of the money for daily expenses.
Could it be that she really wants to sell the store that is making money every day to fill this inexplicable and strange single tax?
What an international joke!
