Chapter 28: Child Husbands

"It's okay, I've not been a pampered boy since I was a child, and many times I'm not as good as the villagers in the village, I can adapt to it, thank you uncle and aunt." Liu Jinqiao is also thinking about finding a place to live well, it is the same for him wherever he goes, he may live with this family, and he can bring him different surprises in the future.

What do you say about ordinary villagers, people who can know and have storage space, where can they be said to be ordinary villagers? This future husband is really modest.

Yang Zhengsong agreed, but he didn't take the child directly to the valley, but took him back to the village, first settled him there to recuperate, and then went to the village chief and told the village chief about the situation.

However, he did not tell the true identity of the child, but said that this was the son of Lu Qingsheng's cousin, who was separated from his family and injured because of the chaos outside.

Because before his mother went out to flee, she told him that if she got separated around here, she would come here to find Lu Qingsheng, her cousin.

It happened that they met when they came back from the county seat yesterday, and Yang Zhengsong also assured the patriarch that this was an honest child, but he was not very good at farming, after all, their family was a relatively wealthy family, and the children also had a book.

In the eyes of these ordinary villagers, the scholar was different from them, and with Yang Zhengsong's guarantee, the patriarch and the elders of the clan agreed to him to bring people into the valley.

After all, it's still more dangerous outside, although those people have come to the village to look for it once, but who knows if they will come again suddenly, it's better to be careful.

After Lu Qingshang returned to the valley, he told the villagers in the valley about the situation outside, and when he heard that there were no young adults outside, the villagers' faces became ugly.

"Now there are a lot of people begging on the streets of the whole county, there are no open shops, and all these beggars are old people and children, and all of them are women. What's even more terrifying is that the county yamen also posted a notice that this year's tax will be increased by one percent. Lu Qingshang deliberately increased the last sentence, because this is the third time since last autumn's harvest that taxes have been increased.

Originally, the tax set by the imperial court was two and a half percent, and when it came to the prince's fiefdom, it became three and a half percent, and last autumn harvest was halved because of the drought, but the tax was still increasing, from three and a half to four and a half, and then became fifty percent, plus this time the annual tax has to be paid sixty percent, and the crops that have been halved have to be paid by the farmers who have planted the land to pay sixty percent, so that they can afford to pay the tax.

"Isn't this King Yu crazy? He never thought that in this year, paying sixty percent of the tax would be tantamount to taking away the lives of these ordinary people. The village chief was very angry and smashed the cigarette pot in his hand.

"He just wants to kill all the way to the capital now, and he hasn't thought about whether the people in this fiefdom will survive at all, but fortunately we can run fast, otherwise we will all have to be unlucky." Yang Changlin is a real farmer, he really can't understand what is there to grab in that position, is it really that good to sit there every day?

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is my daughter-in-law's nephew, surnamed Liu, called Jin Qiao, this year is fourteen, from Huai County, village chief, we have to hide well now, don't you know, my little nephew is even more serious than us here, the men have been arrested, the grain has been robbed, and even people in their village have been killed." Yang Zhengsong just said seriously, after all, what will happen after this incident.

Huai County is a county town in the opposite direction from them, although it is not large, but the population is quite large, they have a large wharf there, and generally the larger merchant ships and cargo ships will stay there first.

The wharf here in Song County is relatively small, and generally only things that are transported to Song County will pass through this wharf, which cannot be compared with the wharf in Huai County.

Originally, they were ready to move, and wanted to wait until this turmoil passed, and the people who returned to the village were instantly quiet, if they came back from time to time, and grabbed food if they couldn't grab people, then would they still be alive?

"Zhengsong daughter-in-law, do you want to do it over there?" One elder remembered the drought, and wondered if it would spread to other places.

"Dry, I heard from the people in the county that many wells have dried up, and from the county seat to the direction of Huai County, basically no one has sown seeds this year, because there is no water, and they can't be planted." Lu Qingshang also inquired about the place north of the county seat, which may be even drier than theirs, because after the harvest last autumn, there were only two snows in the whole winter, which was not very large.

You know, the bigger the snow, the better it is for these crops, but in the winter of several months, the two thin snows have no effect on the geographical winter wheat.

"Okay, I will never be able to get out in the past two years, hurry up and tell the people below to divide the land well, hurry up, get the seeds right, otherwise this year's life will be even more difficult. And send people to protect the water source, don't be destroyed, you know, there are only two water sources in this whole valley, if this is soiled, or destroyed, then how can we live in this? The patriarch hurriedly instructed the village chief to dispel the thoughts of those villagers who wanted to go out, so that they could farm here in peace.

"Don't worry! I will send people out every day to find out the news, as long as the war outside has subsided, then we will go out, this is not far from the village, and there is no need to pay taxes, you can continue to farm here, of course, the outside land also needs to be planted, but not now, now we are farming outside, we can't pay taxes at all. "The patriarch also knows that everyone has relatives outside and is worried, but it is not suitable to live outside at all.

Liu Jinqiao had the leadership of Yang Xiuwen and Yang Jinwen, and soon became familiar with people of the same age in the village.

When Yang Yuqing saw the person her brother brought back, she knew that this was definitely brought back by her sister, and this kind of appearance completely grew into what her sister liked, but she didn't know what her character was?

"Qingqing, come here, introduce you to a little brother, Liu Jinqiao."

Yang Yuqing's eyes widened when she heard the name, this thing turned out to be a big villain, his sister's heart was really big, and she actually brought back the major villains.

"You know who he is, how did you get him back?" Yang Yuqing reached out and pinched her sister's face, and asked with some hatred.

"How can you not know if you know? I have to know the details to get it back, tell you, he is my sister's child husband, the dowry is given, and all my net worth is with me. Yang Yuling let her sister pinch her face and stretched out her hand to show her the tattoo.
