Chapter 138: The Omen of the Death of the Country
She naturally thought that Xiaoyu had already told Zhou Qi about her life experience, after all, Zhao Xiaoyu was also a gossip very much, so she should not hide it from Zhou Qi.
And she regarded Zhao Xiaoyu as a bosom sister, and she had already revealed her life experience and inventory, so she didn't treat Zhou Qi as an outsider.
In fact, Xiaoyu originally wanted to say it, but didn't she fall asleep?
Zhou Qi was a little dazed, what kind of blood feud does this Qinglou woman have?
This Bifu understood when she saw his expression, realized that she had missed it first, pursed her lips and smiled without explaining, she didn't expect Xiaoyu's man to avenge her, what did she have to say?
Zhou Qi didn't care about this idle matter, touched his head, and went back to his carriage.
After he left, a tear fell from the corner of Bifu's eyes, who in this world can help herself?
I'm afraid, no one can avenge her revenge! ……
Zhou Qi, who had just returned to his carriage, accepted Su Yue's interrogation.
He swore that there was absolutely nothing, but Su Yue was still skeptical.
I was invited by Oiran to take a carriage, the space on the carriage was already small, and I went for so long, who would believe that the lonely man and widow said that there was nothing to do?
She didn't believe it anyway! ……
The carriage slowly returned to the mansion, and before he reached the door, Zhou Qi saw several women all stand up.
Aunt Wang, who had lived for a few days, carried a big bag and prepared to go back to the village.
"Aunt Wang won't stay for a few more days?" Zhou Qi asked.
This village is quite a distance away from Qizhou City, the mountain road is rugged and the carriage is slow, and now at this time, Aunt Wang will have to reach the village in the middle of the night when she goes back......
"No, if I stay, who will serve the pigs at home?"
Aunt Wang looked at Zhou Qi with a smile, now that Zhao Xiaoyu has become a real concubine, she has long known about it, not to mention how happy she is.
Now that all the things in her heart have been implemented, she is almost about to leave for the village.
Zhou Qi didn't stay much, but it was not safe to drive at night, so he still went back to the house to find a pen and paper to write a few big characters, and stuffed the note into Aunt Wang's hand.
"After Aunt Wang arrives in Jinfeng County, take this to the wine pavilion and find Liu Sichen, he will understand after seeing the letter."
In the letter, Zhou Qi explained that Liu Sichen arranged for the officials of the two county governments to send Aunt Wang home, and then he mentioned Bifu's request.
Aunt Wang was also illiterate, so she stuffed the note and pulled Zhou Qi over.
"Zhou boy, I want to ask you something!"
"Aunt Wang, please speak."
"Didn't this court say that the summer harvest would be exempted from paying one percent of the tax? Why do people from the county government still collect so much this year? The crops in the field finally saw the seedlings! All at once it's all up again! That's more than last year! ……”
Zhou Qi was stunned.
Since he hasn't been in charge of the shop recently, and even the salt number has directly lost the key in his hand to the big tiger who is engaged in illegal salt, and he has never taken care of the account office anymore, he really doesn't know about this tax matter.
Counting the days, it is indeed the summer harvest.
But the tax reduction and exemption that is said to be a decree of God! It stands to reason that a gentleman can't change his word overnight! ……
"Aunt Wang is sure?"
"That's still fake! Last year, each family only received 30 stone of grain, and this year there are 32 stones, and last year the big guy still had a little surplus grain to last until the autumn harvest, and this year there is no left! Fortunately, you left a job in the village, and the big guys have spare money in hand, and when you go to the government granary to buy food, you can't go hungry! ”
Aunt Wang explained the matter in as much detail as possible, and she will be puzzled next week.
And Su Dafeng coughed twice beside him, as if he had something to say, and after sending Aunt Wang away, Zhou Qi followed his father-in-law to the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Virtuous son-in-law, let me tell you!"
Su Dafeng has sharpened his temperament in the army, and now he is not so bullish when he speaks, but he seems to be a little honest, in short, a little honest! ……
"It is said that a while ago, Da Han had an envoy come to negotiate with the imperial court, and this year's annual tribute to Da Han has increased, and it has also increased by 30 percent, isn't this all on the heads of the people? ……”
"What?!"
Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "How does Lord Yue-in-law know?" ”
"I once passed by the Handu Tongying tent, and I heard about it! But you can't tell him I told you about it, I remember he said he wouldn't let you know! ……”
"Why can't you let me know?" Zhou Qi blurted out.
"Isn't that afraid that you'll be angry?!"
Su Dafeng took a sip of tea and continued: "You led the people to win the battle, but the court backhanded Dahan into the New Year's tribute, which is simply ......"
After that, Su Dafeng didn't dare to say it again.
He hesitated for a long time before he dared to say it, if Aunt Wang hadn't just mentioned it, he would definitely not have said more!
But in the end, there is nothing to do with military aircraft, not to mention that in a few days, this government will also have to post a tax notice, as long as he doesn't say what he said, he will be unscrupulous.
Zhou Qi slowly understood in his heart......
Under normal circumstances, if the imperial court wins the war, it does not need to pay taxes to Dahan.
Especially he fought this battle very beautifully, and even Dahan still doesn't even know how he won, if the court is tougher, maybe he can still get some benefits from Dadrought, but now it is an increase in the tribute?
Isn't this a ridiculous joke!?
No wonder this Han Dutong wants to hide it from him, this is really angry enough! ……
It's no wonder that Han Dutong and Zhang Qianhu have to strengthen patrols, and it's no wonder that there is a sea ban! ……
He wondered at the time!
Now that Han Dutong has garrisoned the Xuanhai Customs, he is not afraid of the drought at all, what to do with the sea ban!?
Now he understands it all! ……
The Qian Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, and the two rivers and seas are the fragrant and sweet spots in the eyes of all countries.
And it was not strong in the first place, and the new emperor was a milk doll.
This victory doesn't mean anything, it's hard to guarantee that other countries won't think about it again, maybe they can get other benefits after attacking the city, especially the Dongkou outside the East China Sea, who have long been eyeing them.
Isn't that going to be a ban on the sea? ……
said that he was furious and would be thunderous every minute, but Zhou Qi did not have it.
But as a modern man, he understands very well what this means!
He didn't know why those bigwigs in the imperial court made such a decision, but this was clearly a sign of the destruction of the country! Just one Han Dutong can resist how many waves of foreign enemies? ……
Zhou Qi looked at the room of women who were chatting and frolicking in the house, and saw a few dolls digging in the courtyard, he was a little worried, this country can't stay any longer! ……
He is not full of food and leisure, he has nothing to do on the battlefield, not to mention that he has not studied much military affairs, and the method he used last time has already done everything he has learned all his life! ……
He can't control too much, now he just wants to take his family and relatives, pack up his things and run away! ……
"Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou! ”
Just as he was thinking, Wu Zhitao, who was out for a stroll, rushed in and shouted completely ignoring Su Dafeng's face: "Oh no! Something is wrong! ……”
