() Obediently, it seems that this county commander is determined to cut off their heads today?

This is obviously to go to a banquet but it has become a life-and-death parting, each at home with his wife and children hugging and crying, inseparable, and finally brought to the yamen by the servants.

In the backyard, Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong were already sitting and waiting at the table, with gentle smiles on their faces.

However, these fishermen felt even more creepy when they saw the smiles on the faces of the two of them, they all lowered their heads and trembled, waiting for the county magistrate to announce the bad news that they were going to be "beheaded by the autumn queen".

I just lowered my head for a long time, and I didn't hear the news that it was killing them, but I heard a gentle female voice: "Why are you all bowing your head?"

They shuddered twice and didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Rong asked the next person: "Urge the room and let them move faster."

"Yes, ma'am."

Hearing this, these people didn't know why, but they still lowered their heads and didn't speak.

After a while, they smelled a fishy smell in their noses, which made the fishermen can't help but glance at each other.

Sure enough, you want to ask about taxes?

Each of them put on an appearance that they would not pay their taxes even if they swore to death, and then they finally raised their heads and looked at Gu Ziyuan.

However, Gu Ziyuan's face did not have the anger they imagined, he just pointed to the fish soup on the table with little water: "Let's move the chopsticks."

Everyone was stunned, and there was some absurdity in their hearts.

What is the idea of this county order?

You can't really invite them over to drink fish soup, right?

looked at Bai Rong's body, but saw that she was also at ease, from time to time to give their county magistrate a fish or two chopsticks, and then scoop her a bowl of soup after the county magistrate had eaten, and the two of them were very happy with this action.

They didn't move the chopsticks, and the hot eyes were that no matter how thick-skinned these two people were, they felt very twisted, so Bai Rong put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at them with a serious face: "Why don't you eat?" Could it be that you don't want to share the table with the master? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and hurriedly waved their hands.

The county magistrate didn't say anything for a long time to settle accounts with them, isn't it really just to ask them for dinner?

No matter what the purpose is, as long as it's not a question!

Or, he is afraid of them, after all, he is an outsider, and he must always have a good relationship with them.

Thinking of this, they suddenly came to their senses

, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and planned to start eating.

It's just the entrance of the fish soup, and everyone is uncomfortable with the fishy smell of the top person.

Shouldn't this fish be boiled in water without seasoning?

They raised their eyes to look at Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong, but found that the two of them had put down the dishes and chopsticks at some point and looked at them quietly, making their bodies stiff.

Bai Rong looked at the sky: "It's almost time."

Gu Ziyuan nodded and waved his hand.

After a while, Zhao was taken to the backyard.

After being locked up in prison for a day and a night, refusing anyone to visit him, not even stuttering, Zhao was completely drowsy.

Now when I smell the fish at the table, I am even more hungry, and I can't wait to pounce on the fish on the table with my eyes shining.

Seeing this, Gu Ziyuan let go of the two officials who were holding him: "I have really wronged Zhao Gongzi these days, go and prepare a seat for Zhao Gongzi!"

Zhao also thought that Gu Ziyuan knew that he was powerful, so he used such a method to show weakness, and snorted coldly and put on a shelf before sitting down, if he wasn't really hungry, it was estimated that he would have to be sarcastic in his mouth.

After sitting down, he swallowed the big gulp in front of him and sent it into his stomach.

Bai Rong said with a smile: "Look at Zhao Gongzi is really hungry, just the room has so much preparation, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Her voice paused, and swept around the seat: "It's better than this." How about you give Zhao Gongzi some if you can't finish eating? ”

The fishermen were stunned again, and there were a few faces that immediately showed reluctance.

On weekdays, Zhao oppressed them in every way, they couldn't wait to let him die, how could they give him their own things? No matter how bad this fish soup is, they will never give it to him even if they drink it in their stomachs!

Thinking of this, they drank it all in spite of the fishy fish, and sat silently.

Bai Rong wrote down the names and appearances of these people one by one, and then looked at the others: "This is the mind of the county magistrate, you can't waste it!"

The rest of the people didn't want to drink this fishy fish soup into their mouths anymore, plus they usually had a good relationship with Zhao, and they didn't want the county order to take off their heads in anger, so they pushed the fish soup in front of Zhao's eyes, smiling on their faces, thinking about letting Zhao sell his personal favor.

Bai Rong matched the appearance and names of these people with the copywriting he knew one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction.

After Zhao filled his stomach and regained his strength, he looked at Gu Ziyuan.

Let him be so embarrassed and now think about it again? It's late!

At that moment, he wanted to say something, but he didn't want Gu Ziyuan to notice his movements, and before he could say his ugly words, he had already spoken: "Actually, there is another thing to tell you when I called you over today."

suddenly said such a sentence, which made everyone present silent.

"Yesterday, when the official was looking through the accounts, he found that your taxes were indeed too high, so the official decided to reduce the supply, and this year's tax fixed income was changed from 50 catties per person per household to 10 catties per person per household, and from next year, it will be implemented to take one out of five."

Hearing this, all the fishermen present were in disbelief.

The county magistrate not only did not kill them, but also reduced their taxes?

This?

"The grass people dare to ask the adults, what does this mean by taking one out of five?"

Bai Rong had a quiet smile on his face: "That is, the amount of fish in your net is divided into five cents, and the tax paid will take one of them, and the yamen will take the amount on the river bank at that time."

She roughly calculated the amount last night, anyway, their taxes are calculated annually, if the implementation of five out of one, the tax in the off-peak season is actually only a lot more than before.

She can't guarantee that such a strategy can be maintained for a long time, but it is a top priority, and it is the right thing to let Gu Ziyuan stabilize the hearts of the people first.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at the fishermen, who were overjoyed and prostrate on the ground.

"Thank you, sir! More adults! ”

For them now, there is no doubt that this is great news.

On the other hand, it was Zhao's shocked face.

"You!"

Gu Ziyuan got up, and Bai Rong stood beside him.

He stood with his hands in his hands, and he really had the demeanor of a superior person.

"Today's change of policy can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the prison from the official, and the Japanese official of great joy doesn't want to be angry, but the next time Zhao Gongzi is disrespectful to the official, at that time, the official may cut your tongue!"

His face is still a little green, but the momentum around him is no longer the same as that of the old boy.

Looking at his back, Bai Rong also showed a slight smile on his face.

Now Gu Ziyuan can really take charge on his own.
