Bai Yiqiao tugged on Fang Yong's sleeve tightly, his expression was tense, and the whole person was in a very nervous state.

Bai Yiqiao was distracted, she cared about too many things, and her hands and feet became more and more trapped.

Fang Yong was dragged by Bai Yiqiao's clothes, turned his head, lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Yiqiao smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing." ”

Fang Yong raised his sleeve to block the poisonous sun for Bai Yiqiao, and Bai Yiqiao's eyes were sour.

This kind of Fang Yong made Bai Yiqiao hate Chen Ermei and Li Gouzi.

I also hate God, why she can't achieve what she wants and wants.

To live a new life so that she can live a life abandoned by others in the previous life again?

Ning Shu looked away from Bai Yiqiao's body and looked at the two officials.

"Come on, everybody." The official said, "Now let's talk about the edict of the imperial court. ”

"Now you have to pay grain tax, each family is **** per person, 3 stones per person, if you give silver money, 4 taels of silver per person." The official said.

"It's best to hand over the grain, whatever food you have at home, new and old grain can be."

Hearing such a heavy tax, the villagers wailed, and their faces were full of panic.

This kind of tax can't be taken out even if you kill it.

Ning Shu was stunned, although he knew in advance that the tax might be very heavy, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy, one stone is almost more than ninety kilograms, which is two hundred catties, and one person has to pay nearly six hundred catties of grain.

Like the Chen family, the four have to pay 2,000 catties of grain, and the yield per mu in ancient times was very low, only a few hundred catties, not to mention that it is still a drought time, and there is not a single grain.

As for four taels of silver, for the poor people, they can't save so much money in a year, no, not so much for two or three years.

A person costs four taels of silver, the court is really child's play, and the upper and lower mouths touch.

It's just forcing people to rebel.

The official also said that he was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and that the country should pay for the country when it was in danger now, and reprimanded the rebels who rebelled, saying that as long as the rebels were caught, they would be executed.

The officials told them to go home and prepare, and ten days later they came to collect food and money.

Ning Shu couldn't help but shook his head, if God wants to make people perish, he must first make people crazy, the court is really crazy, don't give the people a way to live, in order to survive, uprisings and riots are too normal.

Bai Yiqiao turned his head and glanced at Ning Shu, seeing Ning Shu's solemn expression, he sneered in his heart, he had more than a hundred taels of silver at home, and he pretended to have a sad face.

Extremely disgusting, and seeing the other Chen family members' brisk expressions, Bai Yiqiao suddenly said loudly: "Catch big brother." ”

Hearing Bai Yiqiao's voice, Ning Shu suddenly looked at Bai Yiqiao, and saw that Bai Yiqiao had an indescribable cruelty on his face, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Bai Yiqiao glanced at Ning Shu and said to the officials: "There is a family that can pay taxes. ”

Bai Yiqiao pointed at Ning Shu, "The Chen family found a ginseng plant, but it sold for a lot of money. ”

As soon as Bai Yiqiao's words came out, the surrounding villagers all stared at the Chen family, their eyes were inexplicable, and they talked about it one after another, and said that the Chen family was really tight.

Everyone can't pay taxes, they don't even have anything to eat, and the Chen family actually sold ginseng, how much is that.

Now the villagers want to pay taxes to live a peaceful life, and the Chen family is the breakthrough, and now the Chen family has become the target of public criticism.

When the officials heard this, their eyes lit up, and their eyes were full of greed.

Father Chen's face was extremely ugly, looking at Fang Yong and Bai Yiqiao, Chen Li actually wanted to rush over and beat Bai Yiqiao.

"Bai Yiqiao, do you have a mouth just to talk nonsense?" Chen Li rolled up his sleeves, his face trembling and yelled at Bai Yiqiao.

Seeing this, Fang Yong hurriedly protected Bai Yiqiao behind him, and Ning Shu calmly stopped the rioting Chen Li.

Fang Yong was also shocked inexplicably, he didn't expect Bai Yiqiao to say this in this situation.

This matter was concealed by the two families.

"Coincidentally." Fang Yong frowned and shouted, he couldn't figure out how Bai Yiqiao would do such a thing that harmed others and himself.

Bai Yiqiao saw Fang Yong's calm expression, his heart trembled, pursed his lips and said, "What I said is the truth. ”

Ning Shu took a deep breath and said to the official who was about to move, and his face was full of greed: "The Chen family did find a ginseng, but there was Orion Fang Yong present. ”

"This ginseng was sold to the Jishitang in the town, the price is two hundred taels, and the eldest brother can go to verify it, and then the two hundred taels will be divided between the Chen family and the Fang family."

The officials and the villagers looked at Fang Yong and Bai Yiqiao again.

Fang Yong wiped his face, so when Bai Yiqiao did something harmful to others and himself, he knew that this would be the result, and just as he was about to speak, he was preempted by Ning Shu.

"It was sold for two hundred taels, because this ginseng was discovered by Fang Yong, Fang Yong divided the lion's share, one hundred and fifty taels, and the Chen family took fifty taels." Ning Shu said calmly.

When the Chen family heard Ning Shu's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking.

It was the Fang family who was unkind first, so they couldn't be blamed for being unjust.

Fang Yong heard Ning Shu say that he gave the Fang family one hundred and fifty taels, his face was very ugly, Bai Yiqiao was so angry that his face turned pale, and he pointed at Ning Shu and shouted: "Second Sister Chen, what nonsense are you talking about, when did the Fang family divide 150 taels, obviously your family divided the big head." ”

Ning Shu spread his hands, "Look, you also admit that your family has divided the money." ”

Bai Yiqiao suddenly choked, Fang Yong pulled Bai Yiqiao, Bai Yiqiao stumbled twice, and almost fell to the ground.

Bai Yiqiao felt a little aggrieved in her heart, and she also knew that she had done something bad, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Catch the ...... fast"

"Catch Big Brother quickly." Ning Shu interrupted Fang Yong's words, saluted the two officials and said, "The Chen family is willing to hand over one hundred taels of silver, hoping that the eldest brother can reduce the taxes of each family as appropriate." ”

Fang Yong was very helpless, and arched his hand towards the officer, "The Fang family is also willing to hand over fifty taels." ”

"Since it is divided equally, why can everyone give a hundred taels, why do you give fifty taels." The official said dissatisfiedly.

"It's not ...... at all" Bai Yiqiao was about to speak, but Fang Yong pulled him to stop the topic.

Fang Yong said helplessly: "It's really poor at home, and there is only so much money left when I get the money to buy some things." ”

"Give as much as you want, hand it over, and report it to your parents when you go back, and your parents will definitely praise your two families." The official said.

Ning Shu: ......

It's like a fart, you don't believe a word.

In the end, Fang Yong handed over seventy taels of silver, and the two officials collected nearly ten catties of silver, and left proudly.

The villagers thanked Daddy, Daddy Chen had never been so respected, he was proud, distressed and entangled.

That's a lot of money.

"That Bai Yiqiao is beautiful and bright, Si Sven, I didn't expect my mind to be so vicious." As soon as he returned home, Chen Li gritted his teeth and said.
