"Exchange two taels of gold for the common currency of the fantasy world. ”

That's right, Lu Xiaofei spat and played with Wei Xiaobao for a long time, and it was hush money, and he sold the news to make ideas, and the two hundred catties of gold in his hand were only two taels left in his own hands.

Moreover, there are more than 50 people in Lujia Village waiting for him to take the money back to settle the bill!

In this regard, Lu Xiaofei can only use one sentence to describe his mood at this moment, "The baby is bitter!"

........

'Fantasy World', another inland world called the Agurts continent by the locals, is home to four monarchies, the Kingdom of Beifu, the Kingdom of East Kos, the Kingdom of West Hama, and the Kingdom of Nanli, where Lujia Village is located, which are distributed in the four directions of the east, west, north and south of the continent.

None of the four countries obey anyone, and no one can completely destroy anyone, and I don't know if these kings are idle and bored. Today you take a city from me, tomorrow I rob you of a mountain, rob and rob, and finally, in order to save trouble, no longer re-mint the robbed currency, the four countries simply unified the currency, unified minting of the same quality, weight of the currency, Agurts coins.

Agurts coins are divided into 100 taels of gold, 1 tael of gold, 1 tael of silver and 1 tael of copper.

That is, 1 gold bar = 100 gold coins = 10,000 silver coins = 1,000,000 copper coins.

Now Lu Xiaofei has two taels of gold in his hand, which can be exchanged for two gold coins, and naturally he can also exchange it for 200 silver coins or 20,000 copper coins.

Lujia Village is located in a poor rural area, even if he changed the gold coins, he did not have the land to spend, in order to facilitate the use, Lu Xiaofei finally chose 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins as his trading reserve in the Agurts continent.

Soon, a hill was piled up in the grocery store, with silver and copper coins.

Looking at the thousands of catties of money, the corners of Lu Xiaofei's mouth couldn't help twitching, the copper coins that were found in Lu Zhengfeng's house before were far from the bright-colored copper coins in front of him, both in color and size, and the size seemed to be less than one-third.

Could it be that the money I saw before was a fake?

I picked up a silver coin the size of an egg and checked it, it was quite heavy, and it was quite thick. Compared to the Yuan Datou that Lu Xiaofei had seen in the original world, it was much heavier.

Lu Xiaofei didn't bother much, he casually loaded 10 silver coins and 100 copper coins and went back to the village, called the widow Qi to gather the villagers, and when he distributed the heavy copper coins to the villagers, the eyes of these guys who had never seen the market were straight, and they were a little embarrassed.

"Xiaofei, ah no, village chief, too much, too much. ”

Widow Qi and her son Lu Ergou also got a copper coin each, although they were very happy, but they felt that they could take so much after a few days of work, and they were always a little unsure.

"Aunt Qi, and the villagers, don't have any worries, as long as you follow me Lu Xiaofei and keep the spicy food for you, you can ........afford to have ten babies in the future."

Whatever you talk to, you can say anything, rather than being polite with this group of rough crepes, it is better to make it easier for them to accept and support themselves as the village head.

Facts have proved that Lu Xiaofei's method of scattering wealth is correct, and at the same time, the simple villagers have received his favor, and at the same time, they have completely accepted him, the village head, and the new order he issued while the iron is hot is also implemented to the letter.

It is to weave bamboo baskets, dig soil pits, and prepare for the next attack of bamboo rats.

Before, because of Lu Zhengfeng's trouble, he failed to dig a pit and set up an ambush at the entrance of the village, but now he is the master of the house, let alone the entrance of the village, and no one at the door of the house will object.

Of course, Lu Xiaofei will not really mess around in the village, but order the villagers to dig hundreds of soil pits around the entrance of the village, and then put the prepared bamboo baskets into it, and then throw a few purple potatoes in it.

It was also at this stall that outsiders came to the village.

Two middle-aged men riding dwarf mules and horses, one was gorgeously dressed and the other was relatively plain, but compared to the villagers of Lujia Village, it was much more upscale.

Lu Xiaofei didn't know him, but the people in this village couldn't be more familiar, as soon as he took a look, he ran back to his house one by one, pushed up the door, and peeked through the window.

Fortunately, Widow Qi guessed that Lu Xiaofei didn't know him, so she didn't go home, but stayed by his side and whispered to him, "Village chief, this person is the tax collector of the lord's family, and he will come every few months." ”

Yes, feelings are tax-collected.

Lu Xiaofei also guessed why the villagers were hiding, how could they have the money to pay taxes when they were poor before. It's just that he doesn't understand, how can he hide now that he has money, isn't a big copper coin enough?

The middle-aged man who came to collect taxes seemed to have long been accustomed to the actions of the villagers, and he didn't even bother to get off the horse, shook the horse rope slightly, came to Lu Xiaofei and stopped, and asked condescendingly, "Mud legs, where is your village chief?"

Regarding the title of the middle-aged man, Lu Xiaofei frowned, and said with an unhappy expression, "I am." ”

The middle-aged man didn't care about Lu Xiaofei's face, and sneered at himself, "What's the matter, that old thing doesn't dare to see people, pull your little doll out .......of the top tank!"

Lu Xiaofei angrily interrupted the middle-aged man and his entourage with arrogant laughter and said, "So much nonsense, aren't you here to collect taxes......?

"Boy, how did you talk to my family? Be careful that the master rewards you with a whip.......

The middle-aged man interrupted the retinue's words and said with a smile, "Didn't your village chief tell you that it would end badly if you confronted the tax collector? Your village owes the lord taxes for many years........

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Xiaofei, "Tax officer, right? Don't you just want us to get some benefits for you?

"You ........"

His mind was broken, and the middle-aged man suddenly became angry, ashamed and angry, and his face was flushed.

"Oh, don't blame adults, children are not sensible, don't worry, let's still go as usual, as usual. ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaofei didn't eat the tax officer's set at all, Widow Qi suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly opened her mouth to interrupt, sighing in her heart, the young man is still young and vigorous after all!

Listening to Widow Qi's whispering, Lu Xiaofei knew what was going on.

It turned out that the taxes set by the lord were very high, not to mention Lujia Village, and even most of the people in the town could not afford to pay them. Therefore, whenever it is time to collect taxes, the people will prepare some small money and stuff it to the tax collector for him to give him a few days, and there are not many people, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people add up to a lot of income. Over time, the small amount of money also became a fixed amount, and at the same time, it became a fixed income for the tax officer. As for the lords, they are all poor and remote anyway, and they really can't take it out, so they won't be able to do it.

Anyway, regardless of whether the lord collects taxes or not, the tax collector will appear on time as soon as the time comes, and the people will also pay the taxes on time.

As for the reason why the villagers still hide when they see the tax officer, in fact, it is easy to understand, a few years, the population more than ten years ago and the current population are completely different things, it doesn't matter if there are fewer people, but if there are more people in a family, if they are pointed out, it will not cost more money?

Of course, the tax collectors are not stupid, and most of them turn a blind eye to the money that the villagers even dodge. After all, the world is as black as a crow, and no one's buttocks are clean, as long as the people make offerings on time, it doesn't make much sense to have a few more people or a few fewer people.
