In the end, the speed is better than the donkey.

Yan Yu enjoyed the feeling of galloping, she couldn't estimate the speed, but she knew that this speed was definitely faster than that of a horse, and the mechanical creation was tireless, as long as the sun rose every day, it could be described as infinite power.

Holding on to the quilt for some distance, the donkey began to slow down and slowly stopped.

The dog caught up, sticking out his tongue and panting.

Sit down with one butt, then rest with your ass tilted.

It looks like it's tired.

Yan Yu went over to stroke its dog's head, picked it up with a smile, and waited for Sanbao to run closer, and put the dog on the ox cart.

I couldn't hold it anymore and shook my tail slightly.

Yan Lao Er asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's tired."

Yan Laoer: ......

Yes, it's a lot like a dog.

……

Liang Manshan and Yan Lao Er both went to the countryside to collect grain taxes for the first time.

Unlike the former, Yan Lao Er has not even experienced it, and Liang Manshan at least knows some of the Tao inside.

He instructed Yan Lao Er: "If there is something wrong, press it down for the time being, and wait until you return to the city." ”

Yan Lao Er is not a simple novice, he nodded again and again, there is nothing that should not be.

The officials who were sent down to collect grain, although they were not as familiar as Li Zhutou's gang and Yan Lao Er, but in the end they had experienced the lockdown of the city together, and the eldest man valued Yan Hushu, and Yan Er was a person who was a strong class, and he was quite friendly to him.

Hearing that he came with him this time to buy grain, several officials glanced at each other, and they all said trivial things, and wrapped them up.

Yan Lao Er knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained that their village did not have much grain in stock, and they wanted to buy some more for the winter, so they were willing to buy grain at market prices, and it was okay to exchange vegetables for it.

Hearing this, the faces of the officials became even better.

Although they are greedy, they have been natives for several lifetimes, and they can connect to each other in any village.

It's a good thing for mutual benefit, and they're happy to do it.

When the officials came down to collect grain, they were all notified in advance.

Each village has to be prepared in advance.

As soon as the person arrives, he will go directly to the scale and weigh the grain, without delay.

Liang Manshan and they only brought an ox cart with buckets and scales on it.

The village chief is a man in his thirties, greeting him warmly, serving tea and water in the temporary shed, so busy.

Without a trace, a circle of red seals was stuffed.

Even Yan Lao Er was not left behind.

The official surnamed Wan who took the lead was the head of the soap class.

In the past, people in the fast shift went to the countryside to collect grain, since the old man Tian took office, he changed this rule, and he arranged how he wanted to arrange the three classes of officials, and the documents were used by one person as several people, and there were many officials, the same.

There is also a benefit to rotating errands in this way.

In the matter of collecting grain, both the fishing class and the soap class are novices, and the means of fooling the officials are not yet proficient, and the grain tax in the first two years is less than that of the previous years.

Master Tian tasted the sweetness and carried out the shift change to the end.

The soap class came once before, and the village knew what was going on, so it was not surprising.

After weighing it, he had a number in his heart, and signaled to the official next to him.

The latter immediately understood and moved the large scale down.

As soon as the villagers saw the big scale on the ground, their hearts also fell to the ground, and their faces became more and more smiling.

Wan Tou introduced to the village chief: "This is the newly appointed Liang Hushu, you can also recognize it, and you can save it from colliding in the future." ”

The village chief immediately waved towards Liang Manshan: "Liang Hushu is hard, I have heard of your name for a long time, I finally see you today, you sit down, we have to do these rough work, tired you can count it next to you, lunch we have arranged, call the first-class table in the restaurant in the city, you appreciate the face and taste, taste the ......"

Liang Manshan obviously expected it and looked at the people in the soap class.

Wan Tou said: "The brothers are all capable, make sure not to delay the afternoon errand, or Liang Hushu, you will appreciate your face?" ”

Liang Manshan smiled: "In this case, I'll bother." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother!" The village chief couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and went to Zhangluo.

Once there was a word of approval, every household lined up in the order in which it was registered on the register.

The grain was packed in advance and unsealed in bags, and after it was moved, the officials asked them to pour it back into another bag, and in the process, they saw if the shell was clean or not.

After meddling in the inspection, the official nodded, and the bag of grain would be placed on the big scale.

If you feel that it is not enough, the official will shake his head and his face will be ugly.

The people who weighed the grain trembled, and they hurriedly poured a lot of ...... from the grain bag they had prepared.

Everything is going smoothly, no need to say anything, each other has a charter in their hearts.

What Liang Manshan needs to do is to write down the amount of grain handed over by each family.

It is not an indiscriminate collection, the government has its own land, the same season farming, according to the harvest of 20% of the tax, is the British king after the feudal Guanzhou, set the benevolent government.

This alone will bring all the people to their hearts, and no one will say a word about the prince.

Although this benevolent government was beneficial to the people, it made the British royal palace and the various prefectures and city yamen even more constrained.

The British king couldn't bear the embarrassment of the Guanzhou officials, so he also made up for his share, which gave Guanzhou a good life that could barely support it in recent years.

Yan Lao Er found an opportunity to drag the village chief.

The village chief was stunned for a moment and walked to the side to talk.

Hearing this man's intentions and repeatedly emphasize that he would collect grain at market prices, the village chief did not show a happy look, but was a little annoyed.

"This brother, you are one step late, a lot of grain in our village has been agreed upon by the grain from other houses, just wait for the grain tax to be paid, and those who are left for us to spend the winter will be pulled away."

"Grain merchant? Then the designation can't be higher than the price of the grain I receive, right? "Yan Lao Er is in a hurry, why did a grain merchant come out.

"No, brother, you bid a high price, if we sell it to you, we can make a lot more, but ...... It's all up to people. ”

They are not far from the officials who weigh the grain, so that people can listen to them.

"Settled? Did you give the silver? If you don't make up your mind, you can't just say it with your mouth. A servant pursed his lips, thinking that everyone in this village was stupid, and the grain seller only had a few dollars, and Yan Er collected it at the market price, and they all thought about selling him the family's rich grain.

Besides, even if you give a fixed amount of money, what can you do, return it to him, most of them have no paperwork, and there are many people who verbally say that they will regret it, and a foreigner can still make him turn the sky upside down? !

"I didn't give ......," the village chief said hesitantly.

The official immediately said: "Then what's the difficulty, the second brother Yan didn't have time to grow grain in their village, and all the land opened up was planted with vegetables, you see that his ox cart is loaded with those, green and bright, your grain can be sold for silver money, and it is okay to change vegetables and stock up for winter, what a good thing." ”

Yan Lao Er moved down a few baskets with eyes and showed them to everyone.

Not only the village chief can see it, but the people in the village can also see it clearly.

The price is higher than that of the grain merchants, and they can also give silver and change vegetables, so what else is there to consider.

On the spot, a few people surrounded him and asked him how much grain he wanted to buy and how to change the food.

When the village chief saw this, he sighed.

His brother leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's the matter, we have received other people's money......

"If you can't make money, forget it, if the deal is not successful, return it to him, and the left and right didn't say anything to death at the beginning, only said that they would help persuade the people in the village to sell grain to him, and now someone is paying a higher price than him, what else is he not convinced, he wants to collect grain, and also according to the market price, we are all happy, who sells is not selling."

At this meeting, the village chief also turned his brain.

The grain merchant gave him five taels of silver, which was a wink, but he carefully calculated that his family had a lot of land, plus his brother's family and his relative's family, and the extra silver sold was more than these five taels.

No matter how you calculate it, it is a good deal to sell it to this surnamed Yan.

When he was young, a servant gave him a mouthful, saying that this was the younger brother of the official Yan Hushu, and the village chief had nothing to say.

Sell him, you must sell him!

It's not easy for anyone to stop it.
