In the small hall, the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, Jiang Yan sat quietly with his eyes down after speaking, Li Xianling was also shrewd, he instantly understood the other party's words, so his face was also a little heavy.

He naturally knew that if Aunt Jiang planted late rice by herself this year, it would be popularized to the whole county or even the entire town next year, and the Dahua Dynasty could not plant two crops of rice in many places, once it could, it would be a great political achievement, and such a great achievement would inevitably be directly presented to the imperial court, and the results could be imagined, but if it was next year, it might be his turn?

Thinking of this, Li Xianling's heart was full of excitement, like a basin of cold water pouring down on the top.

Quack cool.

He said in a deep voice: "That's the case, Aunt Jiang, I will allocate some paddy fields for you in Linjia Village, as the government's experimental fields, even if they can't be planted, you don't have to worry, and these fields can be exempted from taxes, if they are planted, then it is the best." ”

Li County's idea is very good, even if the field under his name is not popularized, as long as the experimental field is provided by the county government, then he also participates, in case Aunt Jiang can really grow it, the land is still public, and his name is naturally indispensable in terms of merit and political achievements.

"Lord Li's kindness is appreciated, but I have already planted a lot of paddy fields at home, and I just bought some today, and the manpower is limited, so I can't take care of too much."

Jiang Yan's euphemism in refusal, the sincerity and indifference on her face made people angry, her eyebrows were faint, as if she had really tried her best.

The next second, she continued: "If you can, Li County's order can exempt the women from paying taxes for a few years, then this year's late rice, if it is completed, then it will be regarded as a test field for the government, if not, I will definitely not have any complaints, and I will still pay all taxes on time and according to the routine." ”

The family originally had five acres of paddy fields, but today when she bought these two hills, she bought dozens of acres of paddy fields, but compared to the two hills, this amount seems to be small, but in Linjia Village, it is already the ranks of small landlords, not counting those barren hills, The Lin family is now the farmer with the most paddy fields in the village, and naturally the largest landlord in the village.

Li Xian Ling secretly wanted to get a piece of the pie, he didn't want to miss this kind of political achievement, Jiang Yan was also willing to buy this favor, anyway, the most variety of late rice was divided equally with the government, so it should be used as a seed for the official family this season, and there was no need to worry about why the seeds given by the mall in the coming year were more full than in this era.

Besides, this kind of great merit that can improve the lives of the people and increase political achievements will not fall on one of his village women, this Li County Decree is also a good person, after all, he can directly requisition your land and use his identity to coerce you to do things for the court, but he chose a roundabout way, and it can even be said that he is very respectful, and Jiang Yan is quite optimistic about him.

Li Xianling didn't know Jiang Yan more and more, he had already known about her land purchase today, and he also understood that she had bought a lot of wasteland paddy fields, and the wasteland itself was tax-paid, and the taxes on the two barren mountains that Aunt Jiang bought were not much higher than the paddy fields she bought, and it was not a big problem for him to be exempted from taxes for a few years.

"Yes, this official will exempt you from all taxes, for two years, the wasteland itself is not taxed, and you don't have much paddy field, as long as you can grow it, this tax is a trivial matter."

Li Xianling's eyes fell on Jiang Yan, he is not an idle official who can only sit on the Diaoyutai, on the contrary, in the past few years, there has been more drought and less rain, and the people can be said to be living poorly, and they have not reached the level of a large number of refugees wandering around, which is already the result of his best efforts.

He will go to the countryside every year to see and walk, understand the suffering of the people, but every time he sees those hungry people, gnawing on the mountains and wilderness, he can't say the distress, late rice can become he of course wants to make a meritorious achievement in the road to the official one step further, but more, is to want the people to be fed, clothed and healthy, once successful, they no longer have to be precarious, hungry and full.

"Then thank you for the order of County Li." Jiang Yan's eyes were full of joy, her voice was a little excited, she was a little surprised by the generosity of Li County's order, she originally wanted to exempt the paddy field from taxes, but she didn't expect Li County's order to directly exempt him from all the taxes at home, that is, she didn't have to pay taxes this year and next year.

She wanted to buy more land again.

Not only was she surprised, but Lao Wu and Li Zheng were even more unbelievable, it was the first time they had seen someone dare to bargain with the county order, if they wanted them, as long as the county order was ordered, even if they planted a season of rice for nothing, they would not dare to have any complaints, and Aunt Jiang was good, not to mention that she was exempt from taxes, and the county commander didn't even plan to ask for food.

"What does my brother-in-law think?" After Jiang Yan and the others left, Huang Xiancheng asked.

"It's not an ordinary country woman, calm and calm, indifferent, has ideas and plans, is not small, and speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, this kind of bearing, even the daughter of the official family raised since childhood is difficult to have, although she is a widow, it is not a thing in the pool, and what she will do in the future will be great."

Li Xianling gave Jiang Yan the highest evaluation, the figure in his mind lingered for a long time, thinking of the confidence and calmness revealed by the other party, Li Xianling said impressively: "You arrange it, all the villages with water sources will arrange to plant late rice, send people to Linjia Village to study, and implement them one by one according to Aunt Jiang's steps and methods." ”

Huang Xiancheng was stunned, a little incomprehensible: "Brother-in-law, since you believe her, why do you still have to make an agreement with her?" Two years of tax exemption is not much, but the rice she grows is not for us. ”

"It's okay, it's really planted, and when the time comes, Aunt Jiang will naturally not give it if you want some grain."

Li Xian Ling didn't finish his words, but Huang Xiancheng already understood that his brother-in-law wanted to make friends with Aunt Jiang to put it bluntly.

Out of the county office, the group relaxed a lot, especially Li Zheng, the little old man was scared by Jiang Yan several times just now, even if he refused the county order, he dared to bargain, he was afraid that he would be dragged by the county order master to play the board in the next second, if the county commander was more black-hearted, maybe he would be directly pulled to cut off his head!

Jiang Yan was very interested in the dock in Linfang County, but after a morning trip, although there were pastries and dry food in the car, several people were still a little hungry, especially when the streets were full of all kinds of snacks.

The fragrance is fragrant, the hawking is continuous, just listening to the hawker's shouting and introduction, I feel that my mouth is full of food, and my stomach is full of worms.

"Thank you Uncle Li Zheng and Brother Wu for accompanying me to the county government to pass the deed today, I have been busy for most of the day, and I haven't eaten anything, let's find a restaurant, I will invite the two of you to have a good meal." Jiang Yan opened her mouth and said, her eyes lingering on the various restaurants in the town: "It's my first time in the county, I don't know much about the situation on this street, do you know which one has the best food?" ”
