Ruoshui thought for a moment, then shook his head.

  "This method is not good enough, you have lived in the county for so long, and you still don't know what the title deed represents, so Li Da Li Er and Li must not know either. So they just kicked your whole family out, and they didn't take your title deeds. If you ask the people from the government to help you snatch the shop back this time, then next time they have a long memory, and when they come to grab your shop, they will rob the house deed and the title deed together. What will you do when that happens? "Ruoshui.

  "So, what are we going to do?"

  Ruoshui: "We have to drain their vitality and then grab the shop, so that they won't come and grab your shop in a short time." ”

  Everyone looked at Ruoshui in confusion: "Draining their vitality? ”

  Ruoshui: "That's right, they all farm in the mountain village, and they must not have much money on them." Do you remember what the two days were? ”

  Li Laosan thought for a while, and then immediately widened his eyes: "After two or two months, July 20, it is the day when the imperial court collects shop taxes once a year!" ”

  "That's right, the shop tax that the imperial court has to collect every year is a full ten taels. And it's door-to-door tax collection. People who don't come to the government without money will not leave. "Ruoshui," let's wait, wait until July 20, after the people of the imperial court have collected the shop tax, and then take the shop back! ”

  Hearing this, Ruolan hurried: "Sister, you are so smart. When the court finished collecting the taxes, they probably didn't have any silver in their hands. At that time, I will go to the county government to file a complaint and take the shop back. It's wonderful! ”

  July 20 is here in the blink of an eye, and this is the big day of the year.

  The imperial court is coming to collect a shop tax, and every shop has to pay a tax. And according to the level of the store, the amount of tax paid is also different.

  The shops on this street had to pay a tax of ten taels of silver for each shop.

  In order to prevent people from paying taxes, violent resistance. The imperial court sent more than 20 officials to collect taxes.

  After collecting the tax of the hand-made cake shop, the officials came to the Li family's tofu shop to collect the tax.

  Li Er and Li Si were guarding the tofu stall and asked in horror, "What are you going to do?" ”

  "Collect taxes! It's the day when the government collects shop taxes, have you forgotten? Ten taels of silver, hurry up and hand it over. If you don't pay it, you'll be arrested! "Servant.

  Hearing this, Li Er and Li Si panicked.

  "What? Ten taels of silver! Ah, why haven't I heard that you have to pay taxes to open a shop in the county! And it costs ten taels of silver, so much! We couldn't save so much money even after a year of farming in the countryside. ”

  "Less nonsense, get the money! If you can't get it, you're breaking the law. You're going to have to be put in jail! ”

  In the face of so many officials, where did Li Er and Li Si dare to resist again, they could only scrape together ten taels of silver and hand them over to the officials.

  The ten taels of silver were all their possessions.

  So they went into the city with ten denarii, which they thought were enough. But he didn't expect that these ten taels of silver were nothing in the county seat.

  After running out of money, the two of them discussed it and planned to sell the Li family's tofu workshop, and they could sell it for a lot of money.

  When the time comes, it will be good to sell the money and return to the countryside with the silver, and it will definitely not be less than the money earned from selling tofu.

  But early in the morning, the catchers knocked on their door.

  "Li Laosan sued you for occupying his shop. Now that the eldest master is trying this case, you can come with us. ”
