"But I also have something to announce, first of all! I just spoke with the wise chief of your village, Cross André, and we reached an agreement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang Xiao paused and continued: "Our village will cede all the land in the east of our village to Yi Village, that is, you! If you are interested in the land in the east of our village, you can come to the collective bidding later, and the one with the highest price will get the land!"

Hearing that his village had been given a large piece of land for nothing, and that he could buy it with funds, was a great temptation for all the villagers, and what was most important to the peasants: land! In addition, Yicun was already wealthy, and every family in the village had some savings, but the land in the village was limited, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity to increase the land.

"And our wise village chief Cross suddenly discovered that there were bandits between our two villages! That's right, it's the evil bandits!" Zhang Xiao found that these villagers had begun to take the bait, and it was time to put it away: "The village chief of Cross decided to fulfill his obligations as a nobleman, and the heroic noble knight decided to go to the bandits' lair like a dragon slayer knight to suppress the bandits for us! During this period, the village chief of Cross has already transferred the position of the village chief to me! This is the transfer document, what about the auxiliary political officer of your village! Come up!" Read the transfer to everyone!"

A slightly obscene small-eyed man heard Zhang Xiao's words, raised his hand and ran out of the crowd: "Master, I'm here, here!"

"Come, you read the transfer document to everyone!" Zhang Xiao threw a piece of parchment paper in his hand to the small-eyed man.

The small-eyed man took the document and read it out: "The villagers of Yi Village, kidnapping the Hillman warriors of my village without authorization, although in the end the villagers of my village worked together to rescue them, it is no big problem, but it still needs to be punished, but the law does not blame the public, according to the coordination between the head of my village and the head of Yi Village, it is now decided that Yi Village will compensate my village for the following amounts... Oh my God!

"No, no, no, it's not this, it's this!" Zhang Xiao snatched the paperwork from the small-eyed man's hand with a very panicked look, obviously, Zhang Xiao did it on purpose, and didn't completely let the villagers of Yicun know that Cross had betrayed them, how could they try to accept themselves?

"Master, these five silver coins?" the small-eyed man asked cautiously, as he seemed to have seen all the contents.

"It's none of your business, remember, I am now your village chief, and I have the obligation to lead you to a safe and prosperous life!" Zhang Xiao pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

Obviously, many of the villagers were still thinking about the document they had just read out, and they didn't pay much attention to the announcement of the transfer document and the confirmation that it was indeed Cross's handwriting or something.

"Okay, everyone, don't worry! With Bonaparte as the head of Yi Village, I won't let everyone have any grievances! But everyone also knows that there are a group of fierce and vicious bandits outside the village at this time! So I decided to send 100 young men from Yi Village to a neighboring village for military training! And I will have young men who have already received military training stationed in Yi Village to ensure the safety of Yi Village!"

"Everyone can rest assured that the food and expenses used by the young and strong garrison will be deducted from the tax, so that we will appropriately reduce the tax of the village!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and promised to reduce the tax.

Hearing that there was a tax reduction and that there were people stationed to ensure their safety, the villagers of Yicun were also much more relieved.

"The stationed Qingzhuang will not affect everyone's life, if there is a Qingzhuang who disturbs the people, you can come to the neighboring village to inform me, and I will personally send him to the gallows!" Zhang Xiao still looked very serious, and continued: "Now, in addition to the only child, there are brothers in the whole village, and if there is a father and son, come to the father, I will thoroughly check according to the household registration, if anyone tries to escape this training, don't blame me for being unkind!"

After announcing his decision, Zhang Xiao asked all the villagers to go home, but just as everyone was about to leave, Zhang Xiao grabbed the small-eyed man.

"Are you the auxiliary political officer of Yi Village?" Zhang Xiao casually asked the little man behind him while strolling along the main road in the village, and the little man was followed by two villagers and little Hillman.

The small-eyed man looked at the three sturdy villagers around him and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, thinking that the neighboring villagers were really tough: "If you go back to the master, the little one is the auxiliary official Geman of Yi Village." ”

"Geman." Zhang Xiao asked without looking back, "How much is there left in the Yicun warehouse?"

"Back to the master, 2,300 tons of grain, 1 silver coin, 89 copper coins, this year's taxes." Speaking of his work, Geman seems to have a nod to the truth.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand to interrupt Geman's words, obviously not caring about this year's taxes at all: "Stop, stop, Geman, why do you seem to be more familiar with the balance and situation in the village than the village chief?"

"Back to the master, Lord Cross." As if feeling the fierce gaze of little Hillman beside him, Geman suddenly changed his words: "The previous village chief was a noble lord, and you also know that these noble lords don't like to take care of these trivial matters, and he is more willing to find fault and fight than deal with village affairs. ”

"Oh, I see..." Zhang Xiao whispered noncommittally.

"Sir." Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't follow up for a long time, Geman raised his courage and asked cautiously.

"Huh?"

"Master, I accidentally saw it just now, oh no, I caught a glimpse of 5 silver coins, this." Geman sorted out his words as he spoke, and seeing that Zhang Xiao was not angry, Geman boldly said: "Master, we really don't have so much money in Yicun, if the tax is raised."

"Alas, as I said, the villagers' taxes will be appropriately reduced, how can taxes be raised. Zhang Xiao looked Geman up and down, and continued to say as he walked: "You go back later, and give me a summary of the losses suffered by each household in the Fighting Yi Village this time, don't play any tricks for me to make false reports, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir, Geman wrote it down. Geman resigned.

"You are responsible for organizing the auction of the land in the east of our village by the villagers of Yi Village, and do it well, and the benefits will be indispensable to you. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Also, the matter of organizing the villagers' training must be done for me beautifully, I will go back to the village tonight, I hope that the 100 villagers will be able to come to our village at noon tomorrow. ”

"Master, this is just an auxiliary officer after all, this." Geman hesitated.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help frowning when he heard Geman's words and asked, "Our Yi Village is located at the throat of traffic, do villagers often go to Lieyuan Town to deliver and buy goods?"

Although he didn't know what Zhang Xiao meant by asking this, Geman still replied very seriously: "Yes, master, there will be a batch tonight." ”

"Are there any post inns or anything like that on the way from Nayi Village to Lieyuan Town?" Zhang Xiao continued to ask.

"There is one ten miles away, sir, usually at this time when you leave for Lieyuan Town at night, you will rest there, because it is now approaching evening, and it is inconvenient to travel at night, so you will stay there for the night. ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about taxes, just concentrate on doing a good job of the things I handed over to you, and the matter of the training camp will be solved naturally. Zhang Xiao said confidently.

Although Geman scoffed at Zhang Xiao's words, he still had to make a very respectful appearance, and he didn't have to care about taxes? Anyway, when the sky fell, there was a tall man on top, and it was not himself who went to the gallows;

"Geman, you're smart, and I want you to do smart things. Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the inexplicable Geman broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.

Geman's small eyes turned a few times, and he could only lean in with a smile on his face and smile: "Geman must be loyal to the master!"

"Really?" Zhang Xiao didn't pierce it, and still smiled: "You go back to do things." ”

"Yes, sir. Geman now felt that he was depressed and terrible by Zhang Xiao's side, and he couldn't wait to get out quickly, and he was about to slip away as soon as he turned around.

"Geman!"

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Geman was taken aback again, but he still turned around and bowed his waist very respectfully: "Master, what else do you command?"

"Is there any vacant house in your village?"

"There are some dilapidated houses at the entrance of the village, and no one lives in them. ”

"Well, you go back and tell the villagers that the young men are stationed at the entrance of the village, and if you have any difficulties, you can come to the entrance of the village to find them. Zhang Xiao pondered for a while and continued: "You go back to the treasury later, and send me all the money from the villagers to the entrance of the village." ”

"Got it, sir. Geman replied cautiously.

"Let's go down. Seeing that he was almost at the entrance of the village, Zhang Xiao waved his hand to signal Geman to retreat.

After Geman walked away, Little Hillman behind Zhang Xiao snorted heavily, and Zhang Xiao couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "What's wrong, Little Hillman?"

"Master, that little eyed Geman just now is so ignorant that he dares to perfunctory adults. Little Hillman said indignantly.

"Oh, even you can see it?" asked Zhang Xiao with a smile.

"These small-eyed auxiliary political officers are the most cunning, and in the past, we also had such auxiliary political officials in Daleng Village, and they would try their best to suck our blood. ”

Zhang Xiao was puzzled: "Daleng Village?"

"Yes, our village is called Daleng Village. ”

Zhang Xiao pursed his lips and complained: "This name is really ugly, change it." ”

"What's it called if it's not Dalen Village?" asked little Hillman quietly.

"Rome!" Zhang Xiao said without thinking.

"The lord has the final say. Little Hillman said cheerfully.

"You're a good talker, boy. Zhang Xiao rubbed Little Hillman's hair and scolded with a smile: "Okay, when you get to the entrance of the village, call everyone over!"

When little Hillman heard Zhang Xiao's order, he immediately escaped from Zhang Xiao's clutches and ran to the villagers not far away, and soon, 56 villagers gathered together.

"Folks, this time we won the battle and solved the water source problem of the next village and us. Zhang Xiao first announced his news with a smile.

"Long live! Long live the village chief!"

"I knew it would never be wrong to listen to the master!"

"You can talk nonsense, who was so scared that the stick fell off, and he couldn't lift it well. ”

"That's better than you, I don't know who it is, because I fell and messed up the front."

“.”

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet!" Zhang Xiao said to stop the commotion: "I still have something to announce!"

"If you live in the east of the village, stand up!"

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the villagers stood up very happily this time 15 people, including 10 with long sticks, 1 youth, 4 middle-aged, but none of them were "semi-motorized donkey cavalry mixed squad", probably because those who could ride donkeys were all from better family conditions, and the 10 villagers who were called by Alonso were also from the north of the village like Alonso.

"The 15 of you will be exempted from taxes in the future, and you can also get a copper coin from the village every six months!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and exempted 15 families from taxes.

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the 15 people who stood up became ecstatic, tax-free, and there were still two copper coins to take every year, they all suspected that they were dreaming, but obviously there was no pie in the sky.

"But! You must join the village protection team, stationed at the entrance of Yicun Village, every week every three people take turns to go home for one day, and return to the entrance of Yicun Village the next day, and you will also lose the land in the east of the village!" Zhang Xiao said this sentence and the people below completely blew up the nest.

Everyone started chattering.

"This is not going to work, my dear Susan is still waiting for me to go back!"

"Master, you can't deprive us of our land!"

。。 ．

"Stop! Listen to me!" Zhang Xiao suddenly roared, looking very majestic: " I'll give you an account, your people in the east of the village now, the average annual tax of each family is two copper coins, and what you eat is also the food you grow, and you can only balance less than half a copper coin every year, which is already the result of being very thrifty, but when your child grows up, you need to marry a wife for him, and you need to organize weddings and ceremonies, and prepare new land and houses for your children. ”

"But if, as I said, if you lose your land and no longer pay taxes, you still have a balance of two copper coins a year! As for family issues, you think it's too difficult to run around, and you can move your family to Yicun! Your lord, I am now the co-head of our village and Yicun! I can completely call the shots!" Zhang Xiao painstakingly enlightened and explained his worries and thoughts little by little.

After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, these villagers in the east of the village seemed to be thinking carefully about the joints, for them, the amount of information in it was still too much, and the remaining other villagers were also talking about it, thinking about what to do if they encountered this situation.

"You think about it for a while, you come with me!" said Zhang Xiao, pointing to his "semi-motorized donkey cavalry mixed squad".
