And where the little master comes, or he will live in a safe house, no, it will harm peace, or he will not live in a murderous house, he will send someone to arrange it now.

The shopkeeper thought about it for a long, long time, and finally left Buzhuang, there were too many things to do, he had to speed up his pace, and he couldn't drag the owner back.

Xiao Er came to Ping'an's account room, and told Ping'an what happened just now with a smile, Ping'an of course knew his Fubao's ability, but he didn't expect Fubao to be willing to give wild rice to the villagers.

"Thank you, I'm going to go home when Jixiang comes back, you help me see if there are any broken pieces of cloth in the cloth village, I want to buy some to go home for later." Ping An said to Xiao Er with a smile.

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, during this time, Buzhuang had no business at all, how could he get a reward if he had no business, or Brother Ping'an knew his heart best.

"I know, Brother Ping'an, don't worry, even if it's a positive match, I will deduct a few threads." Xiao Er said with a smile.

Ping: "......" he didn't mean that.

Jixiang finally returned, this time he had suffered enough, there were hungry people everywhere along the way, and many people began to occupy the mountains for a bite to eat or rob in groups.

They have a lot of dart goods, which has directly become a sweet spot in the eyes of these bandits, but fortunately, the reputation of the Hanzhuang Dart Bureau is very loud, and many people and bandits have flinched when they see the flag of the Hanzhuang Dart Bureau flying high.

Even so, there are outlaws who don't care about it, and I don't know how many fights along the way, Jixiang has knife wounds on his body, and he grins with teeth that hurt when he moves a little.

Shen Biao, the head of the dart, really admires his son-in-law this time, he is really brave and clever, and he is really clever, no wonder he was notified, the kid was favored by the owner, it was really good.

"Go home this time and have a good rest, in the future, I should not need you to dart in the Hanzhuang dart game here."

"Why?" Jixiang doesn't understand.

"The owner takes a fancy to you and lets you go to the Imperial City General Dart Bureau, you kid is developed." Shen Biao glanced around and whispered.

Jixiang's first reaction was to shake his head, what kind of imperial city to go, her father, mother and daughter-in-law are all in Xiangzhang County, and Xiao Fubao, she likes the mountains so much, how can she go to the imperial city.

Shen Biao saw Jixiang shaking his head, eager to wake him up with a punch, if Jixiang went to the imperial city, his daughter would also be able to go to the imperial city, there was continuous famine along the way, if he didn't go to the imperial city, would he starve to death.

"You kid, you have to live in the imperial city, otherwise you will starve to death." Shen Biao reminded.

Ji Xiang nodded seriously, there is a blessing in his own house, and starvation does not exist, but I can't tell you, at most, let your daughter give you more food.

Ping An learned that Jixiang was back, and hurriedly said goodbye to the shopkeeper, they wanted to go back to the village, of course the shopkeeper nodded and agreed, the owner had already said, and tried his best to win over the Xiang family.

"Peace, these cloths are all defective, you take them home and make clothes for your daughter-in-law and father, by the way, the color of these silk cloths has faded, you take them home to make skirts for your little girl."

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to push out a cart, which was full of satin cloth, as well as ready-to-wear clothes, handkerchiefs and purses.

"Shopkeeper, I can't afford to buy so much." Ping An smiled.

"Whoever asked you to buy it, will give it to you." The shopkeeper smiled kindly.

Ping An glanced at Jixiang, Jixiang had some conjectures in his heart, but he couldn't talk nonsense without basis, since the shopkeeper wanted to send it, then take it away.

"Big brother, I have a carriage that I can take back." Ji Xiang smiled and patted the carriage, which the dart head asked him to take home, and the carriage had good things for his daughter.

Ping'an saw Ji Xiang's thoughtful eyes, and his heart was also a little uneasy, he had nothing to do to be courteous or a thief, but he was just a small farmer, what could he worry about.

By the way, Xiangqian, that is a great talent who has been admitted to the lifting of people, thinking of this, Ping An feels that he has found the truth, and he can accept these gifts calmly.

Quietly stuff Xiao Er with a tael of silver, this little guy is really good to himself, busy and busy, always give some sweetness, otherwise who wants to help you do things.

The dark guard saw Ping'an's movements, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, this family does know how to do things, can be people, and the most important thing is that there is a person who can read, and the little girl who raises a phantom fox.

When the carriage returned to Xiangzhang Village, he happened to meet the tax collector with two officials to collect taxes, Ping An looked at the tax collector curiously, usually at least ten or more officials, why only two this time.

Jixiang glanced at the tax collector and the officer, and couldn't help laughing, those two were not officials, but they were wearing the clothes of the officials, you must know that he recognized the officials in the county.

"You're the new lieutenant chief?" The tax collector asked.

"Adults, small ones." Xiang Laosan bent down.

"This year, except for the tax exemption of the old man's family of Xiangqian Juren, everyone else is ready."

"Yes"

The chief was about to take out the book, but the tax collector spoke again, this time very quietly.

"I heard that your village has harvested wild rice, or you can use rice to pay taxes, and I can collect less."

"What do you want to do?" The third child's forehead jumped, and he hurriedly asked.

"I don't want much, the per capita tax and the field tax are one to two catties of rice per household, and the forced labor tax is one catty of rice and five coins of silver per household."

"My lord, it's not like you can't give an account." The third child felt that the amount was wrong, and the tax collector seemed to have undercounted a lot.

"Captain, would you like to exchange?" The tax collector didn't say much, and asked directly.

The chief hurriedly discussed with the village chief, and everyone agreed, but many families sold rice, and the family had a maximum of one and a half catties, how to pay taxes.

At this time, everyone thought of the old man's family's house, and only his family's grain was not sold in the whole village, so they should not go to the Xiang family to buy some food.

When Fugui heard the sound of horses' hooves, he knew that Jixiang was back, but he didn't expect Ping An to come back, and happily called inside: "Daddy, Ping An and Ji Xiang are back together." ”

As soon as the carriage was driven into the yard, the village chief came over and told him about the matter, Fugui hurriedly asked Old Man Xiang, and Old Man Xiang nodded in agreement without hesitation.

In the end, the tax collector took more than five taels of silver and more than seventy catties of rice, and smiled crookedly, in fact, they no longer collect taxes.

It's really that the nearby villages can't even find food, where is the silver and grain to pay taxes, and the most important thing is that the county uncle has also left, and the taxes he collected can fill his pockets.

Today is the last one, and I will leave directly after receiving it, and it will be dangerous if it is too late, I heard that Xishun is already going to call.

When the tax collector was about to leave the village, he suddenly became kind, looked at the village and the chief who saw him off, and said, "The county lord is ready to leave Xiangzhang County, you ...... Also ready to prepare. ”
