Lu Xiaofei thought about it and thought it was the reason.

Since something can be done for a small amount of money, a fool will honestly pay heavy taxes.

It's just that the incomparable style of the tax official in front of him really makes people angry, and when he thinks of having to deal with this kind of person in the future, Lu Xiaofei feels that one head and two are big, and he really wants to take out a gun and destroy him now.

But when it comes to the interests of himself and the villagers, before he has the strength to confront him, Lu Xiaofei can only make compromises and apologize with a smile, "I'm very sorry Lord Tax Officer, I'm ashamed of what I just said." ”

"Hmm. ”

The tax officer squinted his eyes and hummed lazily from his snort, obviously not taking Lu Xiaofei in his eyes, "I still have to rush to the next village, hurry up and prepare!"

"Okay, okay. ”

Widow Qi hurriedly agreed, pulled Lu Xiaofei over and whispered, "Village chief, I'll go to each family to collect money, you can't mess with him anymore, even if it's for our Lujia Village." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Qi, I won't have trouble with money. As he spoke, Lu Xiaofei asked again, "How much does our village have to give?"

"According to the per capita calculation, ten old copper coins for one person, our Lujia Village has to pay five hundred each time. After Widow Qi finished speaking, seeing Lu Xiaofei's bewildered expression, she knew that he didn't understand, and hurriedly explained: "It is equivalent to fifteen Agurts large copper coins issued to us by the village chief today." ”

Only then did Lu Xiaofei understand that the main circulation here was old money! No wonder the villagers were so happy, he was a big stick!

But that's okay!

Copper coins run out and there are still a whole bunch of grocery stores.

More than fifty pieces didn't take it seriously, and fifteen pieces were not even a drop in the bucket for Lu Xiaofei.

But for the villagers of Lujia Village, in the past, the whole village could only squeeze out such a little bit by saving money and stuffing their teeth, and basically they were working for tax officials all year round.

So thinking of this, Lu Xiaofei waved his hand and said arrogantly, "I gave me this money." ”

"The village chief. ”

Looking at Widow Qi's adoring eyes, Lu Xiaofei shuddered for no reason, hurriedly turned around and took out twenty large copper coins from his pocket, sent them to the tax officer, and said, "Your Excellency, in order to express my apologies, in addition to the fifteen copper coins that should be paid in our Lujia Village, the remaining five are considered tea money for adults, please don't be too little." ”

"Hahaha, it's easy to say. ”

The tax officer's face suddenly blossomed, and he hurriedly motioned to his entourage to accept it, and glanced at the stunned boy in front of him.

I don't blame the tax officer for being excited, I can only blame Lu Xiaofei for being a newcomer, and he still doesn't know a lot about the Agurts continent. You know, don't look at the tax collector when he goes to the countryside to collect taxes, in fact, he is an errand boy in the lord's family, and he can't earn five big copper coins a month.

Of course, Lu Xiaofei also has his own considerations, as the saying goes, little ghosts are difficult, and he would rather spend money to eliminate disasters now than fight with little ghosts, which is a pure waste of time.

After the tax officer left, Lu Xiaofei naturally had to be polite to the villagers again, but what he didn't expect was that one of the lame old men would say something in public that made him in a dilemma.

is very fragrant and tempting, so that Lu Xiaofei can't find a reason to refuse.

What about Saw?

That's what the lame old man said to Lu Xiaofei, "Village chief, my daughter is going to marry in the next village tomorrow, will I send you home later, or will you come to our house?"

As he spoke, the lame old man also pushed a timid baby-faced girl with bangs in front of him, "Village chief, I'm just this girl, can't I send it to the town mayor!"

Belch!

What does wool mean?

Although he guessed a rough idea, Lu Xiaofei still didn't understand why the lame old man did this, was it to thank him for helping their family pay for it?

That's not going to be a payoff for his daughter's chastity! Not to mention that he will get married tomorrow.

Whenever Lu Xiaofei looked confused, Widow Qi would always appear beside him at a critical time to explain to him.

No, seeing Lu Xiaofei's stunned expression, Widow Qi's voice appeared next to Lu Xiaofei's ears, "Village chief, this is your power, every married girl must dedicate her New Year's Eve to the village chief, this is the tradition of Agurts, only in this way will the married girl get the blessing of God and help her husband run the house and raise offspring........."

The latter words, Lu Xiaofei can guess what is going on without listening to it, isn't this the same as the first night power of the ancient Western authorities.

It must be an ordinary girl village chief who keeps it for himself, and if it's good, it's used to tie up the town mayor, and the town mayor stammers with the city lord, and the city lord stampers with the lord, and the level goes up. Anyway, in the end, the beautiful and good-looking ending is that the marriage will definitely not be concluded, but will be reduced to the plaything of the rulers.

It's no wonder that the lame old man is worried that Lu Xiaofei will send his daughter to the mayor, if he is really fancied, it will be strange if he returns it.

Seriously, Lu Xiaofei was struggling in his heart, and kept asking himself whether to accept it or accept it? It is rare to have such an opportunity, after today, Ming'er's family will leave with other men.

After a long while, Lu Xiaofei finally convinced himself that tradition should be respected, and he would be unhappy if he twisted others, so he said to the lame old man, "Send me home, the mayor won't know about this." ”

As for whether this privilege should be exercised at night, Lu Xiaofei hasn't thought about it for the time being, anyway, let's talk about life first, cultivate and cultivate feelings, as for whether it is better to be a beast or a beast, let's talk about it at that point.

With Lu Xiaofei's promise, the lame old man was suddenly overjoyed, and thanked him vigorously, but he was a little embarrassed.

Soon, it was dark.

Lu Xiaofei habitually went back to his house to sleep at the grocery store after having dinner at Widow Qi's house, but as soon as he got home, he saw the lame old man, father and daughter already waiting at the door of his house.

couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and secretly said, the foolish people are ignorant!

"Village chief, you're back, we've been waiting for you for a long time. After the lame old man finished speaking, he gently pushed his daughter, and continued to say to Lu Xiaofei, "It's not too early this day, I'll go back first, the baby is not sensible, you can take care of it more." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Xiaofei to speak, and limped away, as if this girl was not his daughter.

Looking at the disappearing back of the lame old man, Lu Xiaofei felt angry and funny, "Is this your father?"

However, the little girl with Qi bangs kept her head down, her fingers tightly tugging at the corners of her clothes, and she didn't say a word.

Shaking his head, Lu Xiaofei pushed open the door, took out the fire fold and lit the tung oil lamp on the table, and then beckoned to the little girl and said, "Come in! It's also quite cold outside." ”
