"In addition to the uncle's township name, you also want to lock it up?"

Chu He suddenly laughed angrily: "I want to see how they take the uncle lock to the case!"

The current Chu River, although it is not young and vigorous, but it has just improved the realm, the blood and qi are certain, and the strength is also soaring, asking himself in Qinzhou City, I am afraid that there is no one who is his opponent, and his own family is so bullied by Datong County, so how can he swallow this breath!

Chu He didn't know how much time it would take for Shu to quell the rebellion, but this place is different from the Three Kingdoms of the Earth, there is one more Yellow Turban remnant, and there is also his own time and space butterfly, which may not go the same way as the history of the Earth.

He did not despise the Yellow Turbans.

You must know that the remnants of the Yellow Turban on this side of Qinzhou City are just a small chess piece of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are movements of the Yellow Turban Army all over Shu Kingdom, even on the side of Great Wei and Great Wu.

If the Yellow Turban Army only had a few people like the Mountain Tiger, it would be impossible for Meng Shu, the Southern Barbarian King with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, to join forces with him.

As long as there are the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army in front of them to withstand them for three or five years, plus Huang Zhong and Gan Ning on Huya Ridge guarantee that no power above the fifth grade will enter Tianshui County within five years, Chu He will have enough time to develop his own army, and he will not be afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Great Shu official mansion at all!

Chu Wen's face still looked worried: "He'er, don't be careless." ”

"Don't want the name of this township, it's just a name anyway, and the official seal documents have not been issued. ”

"But we leased the villagers' fields and said that we would pay taxes to the villagers, if we should not accept the government's side, they sent people down to collect taxes, and the villagers still want to blame us?"

Chu He's face sank slightly, although he was not afraid of Datong's side, it was really a bit troublesome.

The people's heart is related to luck, if you lose your luck, even the gods of war like Huang Zhong and Gan Ning will be difficult to resist, let alone yourself, there is no problem with being a white body, but it is delusional to dominate the world.

Chu Quan also said worriedly: "He'er, your uncle's family is still on the Datong side, once we resist taxes, I'm afraid it will harm them." ”

Qinghe Village is very good, Zhao Muqiu originally planned to take over his father Zhao Yiyi's family, but Zhao Yiyi was old-fashioned and unwilling to go to his daughter's in-laws' side, for fear of losing face, and the wine shops in Datong County were reluctant to leave it, so he stayed in Datong County.

Chu He pondered for a moment: "Father, don't worry, the child will send someone to Datong County to bring his uncle back." ”

Chu Quan shook his head and said, "Now that the gate of Datong County is closed and you are not allowed to enter or leave, how can you take your father-in-law out?"

"The child has already let people stay in Datong County, secretly looking at his uncle, as long as he thinks about it, there is always a way. ”

Chu He thought for a while and said, "Let's go and meet people from Datong County first." ”

Chu Wen sighed: "It can only be like this." ”

There are a lot of people from Datong County.

Without one hundred and eighty horsemen, they did not dare to leave Datong County and come to this most remote Changding Township.

However, these hundreds of cavalrymen could not enter Qinghe Village, so they could only stay outside the village and were closely guarded by the Qianyuan Guard.

Only the chief Deng Jia was allowed to enter the village, and he was now waiting in the reception room of the side hall of the Chu family's mansion.

Deng Qing can become a martial artist in Datong County, although he is not a rank, but he has considerable ability.

In fact, those who can be officials are not good at stubble, especially in this world where force is king, if there is no means, there will be no scum left after being eaten.

Deng Jia, as Deng Qing's confidant and clansman, was entrusted by Deng Qing with an important task to come to Changding Township to issue orders, of course, it was not a wine bag and rice bag.

Previously, he had an arrogant and arrogant attitude, and he asked for seventy percent of the grain tax and 190,000 stone rice grain, just acting, and the 190,000 stone grain tax was also budgeted for bargaining in Changding Township.

If his subordinates were all closely guarded, and they were taken into the village by others, they would all look like they were obedient, so that the people of Qinghe Village could see it, how could they be willing to take out so much rice and grain.

Since entering Changding Township, Deng Jia's face has been very solemn, especially outside Qinghe Village, seeing those Qianyuan Guards wearing battle armor and holding sharp blades gave Deng Jia great pressure.

Even those arrogant Deng Jiawei also put away their temper and stayed honestly outside Qinghe Village, not daring to think about anything.

The family members in the movie who rely on the power of the main family to oppress the people are not very realistic here.

These private guards of the Deng family know very well that they can only play tricks on ordinary people, and play tricks on a Chu family that controls the entire Changding Township and has thousands of elites under their command, which is no different from looking for death.

In such a situation, even if the Chu family killed them all, don't think that Datong County would send troops to avenge them.

Chu He has a good crossing advantage, but don't think that the people here cooperate with him to have a mentally handicapped aura.

The arrogant attitude frightened Deng Jia of Chu Quan and Chu Wen, and after Chu Quan and Chu Wen left, his face instantly became solemn.

Don't look at Chu Wen and Chu Quan who looked a little worried, but after the two left, they didn't even leave a servant who served tea and water to him, so they knew that the Chu family didn't really take him to heart.

Deng Jia also knew that it had no effect to scare Chu Wen, the Chu family, and even the entire Changding Township, was really in charge of the little boy in his early tens!

In this society where the clan concept is very serious, Deng Jia couldn't understand how Chu Qianzhong, the patriarch, could let Chu He hold power? How could these thousands of hidden guards in Changding Township be willing to be controlled by a little kid?

According to common sense, no matter how talented and demonic Chu He is, he has to obey the orders of the patriarch and the elders in the family.

The reception room in this side hall is quite poorly furnished, with a screen, a few desks, swords, bows and arrows on the walls, and a map three or four feet long, which is a map of Datong County, which is quite detailed, much more detailed than the maps that Deng Jia has seen before.

Next to the map are two wooden bookshelves filled with bamboo books.

There was no one to watch outside the living room, so Deng Jia simply walked to the bookshelf and took a look, and found that they were all very ordinary bamboo slips and scrolls, but they were extremely large in number and extremely miscellaneous in scope.

There are enlightenment books, anthologies of poetry and songs, astronomy and geography, Shu characters, Confucian books, famous sayings, etc., and books about martial arts, cultural and Taoist cultivation, and even fortifications and agricultural affairs.

Books, bamboo slips, scrolls, etc., are not affordable for ordinary people, especially in a remote place like Datong County, even if the Chu family is not short of money and silver, it is not easy to collect so many books in all aspects.

And looking at the situation of these books, it is not for decoration, but for people who read them regularly.

Deng Jia is a little strange, these things, normally placed in the study, how can they be placed in the reception room?

Of course, Deng Jia didn't know that this Chu family's mansion was the base camp of Chu River, the place was so big, and outsiders in Chu He's study could not enter at will.

Chu He didn't want to know a single word in the people below, so keeping these books in the reception room could be regarded as letting them get in touch with Wendao.

In addition, without going out, to understand the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, customs and customs, books are the best choice, and Chu He himself did not look at these books that he had worked so hard to collect.

Just as Deng Jia was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and he immediately returned to the desk, his face was already covered with arrogance, his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked like no one was in his eyes.

Sure enough, the three of Chu He walked out from behind the screen.

Chu He looked at this middle-aged man who was wearing a cyan scholar's robe, triangular eyes, clear cheeks, pointed chin and goatee, and a somewhat snarky appearance, and did not rub against him, and said coldly: "You are the one sent by Deng Qing to collect grain tax?"

Deng Jia also looked at Chu He, stroked his beard and said: "Contemptible Deng Jia, working under Lord Deng Dianwu, this time he came to Changding Township to collect the grain tax of Dashu." Who is Your Excellency?"

Chu He didn't answer, but asked, "How much grain tax do you have to collect?"

Deng Jia's face was straight, but he was no longer arrogant, and looked at Chu Dao: "Your Excellency is young, but you look magnificent, could it be the Datong prodigy Chu He Chu Qianyuan?"

Chu He was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Deng Jia to change his attitude all of a sudden, and his tone was polite, although he looked thin now, and he didn't have anything to do with Qi Yu Xuanang, but it was really hard to handle anything, so he had to pinch his nose and say, "It's Chu." ”

Deng Jia immediately arched his hand and said: "I have heard that Chu Qianyuan of Changding Township is a dragon and phoenix among people, known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, but now when I see it, it is better to be famous than to meet." ”

"As for how much food and salary to receive, Xiangzheng was a government scribe before, so he naturally knows it. ”

Chu Wen snorted coldly: "I know the autumn harvest salary, but it is not the number of 190,000 stones that Your Excellency said. ”

Deng Jia smiled: "Then according to what Lord Xiangzheng said, how much should it be?"

Chu Wen was about to speak, but suddenly he remembered something, but he snorted slightly: "The amount of food and salary, its own government will calculate it, but it is not Chu who has the final say!"

Deng Jia nodded: "Now that the rebels are in turmoil and the homeless people are raging, this grain tax must not be collected according to the previous practice." ”

"Lord Dianwu, who is also from Datong County, knows the suffering of the villagers, so he argues with reason, and seeks the permission of the county magistrate and the county lord, and collects seventy percent of the grain tax, which should be 240,000 stones. ”

"The county magistrate took into account the loyalty of the Chu family in Changding Township, and donated 50,000 stone rice grain before, so the 240,000 stone tax, the township lord collected it, and deducted it, and only needed to escort 190,000 stone rice grain to the county seat. ”

When Chu Wen heard this, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and finally knew what Deng Jia meant.

This is clearly to collect all the grain taxes in the first half of the year!

In this way, 190,000 stones is really not too much.

The problem is that in the first half of the year, Chu He has not come back, and Qianyuanwei has not expanded his recruitment, only guarding the scope of Qinghe Village, all parts of Changding Township, the grain output is so low that he can barely eat himself, and where does he get the rice and grain to pay taxes?

Now there is surplus rice and grain in Changding Township and even other townships to sell to the Chu family, mainly due to the Chu River's suppression of bandits and Qingping Township.

Before Chu He came, he thought that this Deng Jia was arrogant and arrogant, he slapped him in the face, and then expelled him away, but he didn't expect Deng Jia to be shrewd, speak in an orderly manner, and not give him a chance to get mad.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really can't underestimate others, no one is born to slap people in the face.

Hearing Deng Jia say this, Chu He suddenly smiled: "190,000 stone is indeed not much, so much rice and grain, we still have to raise it, I don't know when the county will send someone to get it?"

Chu Wen and Chu were all stunned, looking at Chu He's appearance before, it was clear that he didn't plan to pay the grain tax, why did he let Deng Qing come over to collect it now?

Deng Jia was also a little surprised, he began to praise Chu He's benevolence and righteousness, even if Chu He was unwilling to pay the grain tax, he planned to press Chu He with righteousness.

If Chu River resists taxes, it will be disregarding the lives and deaths of 100,000 people in Datong County, so unkind and unjust, Chu He will not want to have a good reputation again.

But Chu He agreed to pay the tax, and Deng Jia was surprised, and immediately said: "According to the rules, the collection and transportation of this grain tax is the responsibility of the township, but the 100,000 people in the county are now short of food and food, and I hope that the township will escort the grain tax to the county seat as soon as possible." ”

How do you know that Chu He shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "We don't have any township in Changding Township, but the previous township lord was victimized by the homeless people, and I am afraid that this grain tax will have to be collected by the city." ”

Deng Jia was slightly stunned: "Brother Huaiyu is not the head of Changding Township?"

Chu Wen is not a stupid person, he immediately guessed Chu He's thoughts, and at this time he also said helplessly: "Although the county intends to let Chu serve as the head of Changding Township, it is a pity that the documents have not come down. ”

Deng Jia opened his mouth: "This ...... Why did Master Deng Dianxue inform Deng that Brother Huaiyu was the head of Changding Township. ”

Chu Wen shook his head: "This Chu doesn't know, why don't Brother Deng go back to the county first and ask, and see when the county adults will send the documents down?"

Chu Wen really didn't talk nonsense.

In the rich and prosperous townships and towns, the townships are quite in demand, and the collection of grain taxes can be carried up and down to fill their own pockets.

But these deviated places in Datong County, the township is not a popular position, not only there is no oil and water, but also because of the grain tax, offend the neighbors, once the villagers resist the tax, they kill the township in a rage, so the appointment of the township is a matter of one sentence in the past.

It's like the patriarch of the village, the previous patriarch of Qinghe Village said that Chu Zhenhai took over, then Chu Zhenhai is the patriarch, but there is no clerical family seal or anything.

The problem is that according to the laws of Shu, the township and the pavilion chief must be officially sealed.

Chu Wen did not have an official seal document, and in a legal sense, he was not the township of Changding Township.

Deng Jia's triangular eyes blinked a few times, let him be scheming, he didn't expect Chu He to come up with such an excuse, of course he knew that Chu Wen could not have the official seal document appointed by the township.

In the end, he had to groan and said: "I don't think it's better to be like this, Brother Huaiyu will take the grain tax first, and Deng will send someone back to tell the county lords, presumably there is some reason." ”

Deng can guarantee that as long as Brother Huaiyu releases the grain tax to the county seat, it will definitely not be just a township position. ”

Chu Wen's face was straight: "Brother Deng's words are wrong, collecting grain taxes is a major matter of the country, and it is all controlled by the government. ”

At this time, Chu He also said apologetically: "Since this is a misunderstanding, and your Excellency is pregnant with the important affairs of the government, please go back to the county seat as soon as possible, and ask who is the township leader of Changding Township, don't delay the major event of collecting grain taxes!"

"By the way, since the county commander is righteous, after the grain tax is taken, I hope to send 50,000 stone rice grain to us. ”

Then he sighed: "Now that the Chu family has a big business, there is really a shortage of rice and grain. ”
