The group did not go to the county government but went directly to the medical school from the back door, Jiang Baiyu is the apprentice of Zhao Taishi, he is often watched by people there, be careful that Qi Yu and others have never been to the county office.

"What's wrong, is Sister Ah Jin injured, why is her face so pale?"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone hadn't slept yet, so they waited for Xu Yunjin and Yuan Xuan to come back, and when they saw Xu Yunjin's somewhat weak appearance, Qi Yu couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine, maybe I've been riding a horse for a long time, just rest for a while."

Xu Yunjin explained to a few people, and handed Xu Wen and his son a look that they didn't have to worry about.

Xu Wen knew that Xu Yunjin used hypnosis, and remembered that Xu Yunjin had slept for a long time after the last hypnosis, and the father and son looked distressed.

But knowing Xu Yunjin's temperament, they couldn't stop it, so they had to watch her get into danger again, and they were inevitably disappointed that they couldn't support their families.

"How's my cousin?"

Yuan Xuan's face was ugly, Qi Yu was a little afraid, and cautiously approached Yuan Xuan and asked.

"Let me tell you, we all thought that only Longyang County had privately collected grain tax this year, but in fact, in the past two years, people in the He family have privately increased the grain tax of one to two percent in those remote and closed places in Daqi.

The people in the remote areas who were blocked by the news were deceived by the collectors, thinking that it was the drought in the past few years, so the imperial court did not hesitate to increase the grain tax, and each time they squeezed out 20% of the grain to pay the tax, and there may have been no less than 100 villages affected so far."

Taizu of Great Qi was a good emperor, so from the beginning of the collection of grain taxes, considering that some remote areas are difficult to travel mountain roads, the people have difficulty in delivering grain, and the road is difficult to send grain, so a "collection office" was set up in each county.

This collection is not a real official, most of the officials are the food official's own family, do not eat official meals, and will not easily change the candidate.

The collector is only responsible for taking people to help people in remote places deliver food every year, and by the way, conveying whether there are any new policies promulgated, and calculating how much grain tax each household needs to pay every year, the villagers are very trusting of the collector.

The officials are all prepared in the county office, and they are accompanied by officials when collecting grain, so naturally there will be no such thing as running with grain.

However, the corresponding remuneration of the collector is also more, half of which is borne by the people, and half is paid by the yamen, although it is necessary to give more money, but it is safer than the villagers themselves going out to pay the grain tax and being robbed by bandits.

"What, there is such a thing, it's simply unreasonable, these people don't pay attention to the law of the country at all, do they?"

Qi Yu is worthy of being the heir to the throne, and the majesty on his body is revealed as soon as he gets angry, but he is still too immature to grasp the point of the matter.

"Why do they have so much food, is it for other purposes? I dare to guess, is such a large amount of food for private soldiers?"

Xu Yunqing looked at Yuan Xuan thoughtfully, if it weren't for this reason, he couldn't figure out why the prince of Yasukuni, who had always been polite, kept saying a stinky face after he came back.

"Senior brother and I also think the same, the food tax they have increased in the past two years is probably millions of catties, and it is impossible to think about it if you eat it yourself or sell it."

Xu Yunjin said that his heart was also a little heavy, assuming that an adult soldier consumes six hundred catties of grain a year.

That one million grains can feed 1,600 soldiers, and the guards of the Great Qi officials and eunuchs are all numerous.

Generally, there can only be 50 to 100 guards in the homes of important ministers, unless they are rewarded by the emperor, and the guards can have soldiers in their homes.

And until now, only the emperor's only sister, the eldest princess, has thirty Praetorian Guards stationed at home, and no one in Daqi has soldiers in his family, even the family of military generals is the same, only allowed to have family members, not soldiers.

If it is really a private soldier, the ambition of the He family will be obvious, and the people in the courtyard may have gasped when they thought of this.

"He won't be so bold, right? Besides, this Longyang County is not remote, it is still under the jurisdiction of Uncle Zhao, the He family will not be so stupid to do this in Uncle Zhao's jurisdiction, right?"

Xiang Zhiwu's brain lacked roots and tendons, and his voice was weak

said, but did ask the point.

"We asked He Liguang and he said that He Lishun instructed him, I guess He Liguang should have guessed the role of the grain, but he was too arrogant, thinking that Longyang County would not have an accident under the control of him and the county order."

Xu Yunjin guessed right, He Liguang is a person who is a little scheming but not much, he arrogantly arranged everything, and even found a scapegoat, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

"This matter is very important and cannot be divulged for half a point, and tomorrow you will leave for Beijing to report everything to your uncle."

Yuan Xuan finally said the first sentence after coming back, arranging for Qi Yu and Xiang Zhiwu to return to Beijing, as for him to have other tasks.

"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be targeted when he returns to Beijing, or I will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will follow the team of the ministers and the Gu family, and I shouldn't be targeted in the caravan."

Xu Wen thought about it and said to Yuan Xuan, he had only been back for six days and had not accompanied his family, and he was going back, and he felt very sorry for them, but for the safety of Qi Yu, he could only do this.

Tomorrow happens to be the day when the Gu family comes to the soap workshop to get new products, and Gu Yuanhong's grocery store is doing a lot of business now.

So every time I come to buy a lot of things from the south, Gu Yuanhong also set up a small team, which seems to be to make the business bigger.

Yuan Xuan felt that this method was feasible, they all set off secretly when they came to Jiujiang, and Yuan Zhou was in the capital as Yuan Xuan's stand-in, and Yuan Bao accompanied him every day.

Xiang Zhiwu made a mistake and was punished for thinking at home for a month, and Qi Yu was sent to the royal temple by the emperor under the pretext of copying Buddhist scriptures on the day of the emperor's birthday this year.

Although the preparation is complete, there are still risks, so it is safest to hide in the crowd, and finally after discussion, I will go home to spend a day with my family.

Xu Yunjin was in charge of negotiating with the caravan and stayed for another day, and then returned to the capital the day after tomorrow.

"Senior brother, do you have any other tasks to stay?"

Xu Yunjin suddenly thought of why Yuan Xuan didn't leave, was there anything else he hadn't done?

"Didn't you propose to Taishi Zhao to set up an official office dedicated to finding wild ingredients, my uncle plans to pilot it in Jiujiang first, and then it can be promoted to the whole country, and send me to supervise this matter, and now Yuanzhou and Yuanbao are about to set off."

Xu Yunjin drooped her face when she heard this, she just said politely at the beginning, if there is a place to help, she will definitely not hesitate.

But Xu Yunjin didn't mean to hand over this burden to her, although she could be said to get twice the result with half the effort in this matter.

"Did your uncle ask you to bring me a fortune?"

Xu Yunjin suddenly looked at Yuan Xuan and Qi Yu, this time there is an additional charge for private office, not for medical school.

"You girl, making so much money is not enough for you to spend, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yuan Gongzi please forgive the little girl for speaking at a young age without thinking too much."

Xu Wen naturally didn't really train women, Xu Yunjin also knew, and pretended to be ignorant and snorted coldly.

"Hahaha, no wonder my cousin said at the time that the official office was built in Jiujiang, and the emperor would give more funds, I don't know what it means, I see.

Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry, the county lord is a cheerful person, I don't care, Brother Yunqing is really blessed to have such a sister."

Xu Yunjin's temperament is always likable, sometimes calm, sometimes out-of-the-box, a kind and generous person, and the occasional little temper never makes people feel bored, only thinks she is more cute.

Because of Xu Yunjin's interruption, the atmosphere in the courtyard was better, Jiang Baiyu returned to the county office, and Yuan Xuan and the others also returned to the place where they stayed.

Under Xu Wen's urging, Xu Yunjin washed up casually, lay down and slept until dawn.
