Chapter 34 The Desire for a Barren Mountain

"Whew~Whew~" The Dongcun clan gasped angrily.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's against you kid! The clan elder scolded and drank, Zhang Xiuniang did not say a word, nor did she persuade her, and patted the clan elder on the back by herself.

Liu Cang was silent, and he didn't speak, what did he say, what is there to quarrel with an old man, you can be louder, call the young people in your village, and see if I don't unload a few of them for you.

"Shoot what! Come here! Ignoring the elders of the East Village, Liu Cangchao said fiercely to Zhang Xiuniang, who was patting the elders on the back.

With the clan elder on her back and a white glance at Liu Cang, Zhang Xiuniang honestly walked back to Liu Cang's side.

"You... Okay, hello~! Ahem, ahem... Zhang Xiuniang left, the clan elder was slightly stunned, and then he was even more angry, pointing at Liu Cang's fingers trembling.

Made, Liu Cang is a little weak-hearted. This old guy won't turn his back on his anger, will he? Or, embroidery girl, do you want to continue to pat him?

Hinted by Liu Cang, Zhang Xiuniang did not complain that Liu Cang instructed her back and forth, returned to the patriarch again, and helped him to sit down.

Liu Cang looked at this angry old man, this girl was simply touching porcelain.

The arrogant expression gradually faded, and he came to the village to receive his mother-in-law, but as a result, the old man family was lying down, which seemed a little unreasonable.

"Clan Elder, shall we talk well?" Zhang Xiuniang stood on Liu Cang's side in everything, but the clan elders seemed to be all kinds of weaknesses.

Seeing that Liu Cang's tone was slowing down, the clan elder thought that Zhang Xiuniang had said something to Liu Cang, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiuniang, and nodded lightly to Zhang Xiuniang with satisfaction.

"What? Scared? In his breath, the clan elder said to Liu Cang angrily.

"Afraid? You call the descendants of the village, one of them counts as one, you see if you are afraid of white or red! Liu Cang grinned.

"You... Hum. Say what? Seeing Liu Cang sitting across from him, and then looking at Liu Cang's attitude, the clan elder had a toothache. This bastard is really hard to deal with.

To say that the idea of setting up a banquet for three days is really just a trial, after all, how can a kid who can be valued by Cai Yong be so easy to fool.

It's just that the elders of the East Village didn't expect Liu Cang's reaction to be so fierce.

Liu Cang's famous place in the township is really not irritable, at a young age, when he is a household, he has a lot of strength, and he is a good way to work, which is the most recognized by the people in the surrounding villages about Liu Cang.

Now that the temptation failed, he almost flipped the table, seeing that Liu Cang gave the steps, and he was about to rebound as soon as he was tempted, the old man of the Dongcun clan simply blackened his old face and no longer tossed blindly.

Anyway, a female baby who can't get married, it is already earned to be able to exchange Liu Cang for having a relationship with Dongcun.

"Patriarch, if you want to have a banquet, I will raise some money and food here, and the location must be set up in Sang Village, which will not make the embroidery girl lose face. Three days of running water, absolutely impossible. Seeing that the clan elder was no longer irritable, Liu Cang forced his temperament and said to the clan elder.

There is no way, who let Zhang Xiuniang and his father abscond with the money, and now the patriarch of the clan can't be offended to death, otherwise Zhang Xiuniang will have to be poked in the backbone in the future.

"Don't, the embroidery girl doesn't want to make a noise, don't tarnish your reputation." The patriarch has not yet expressed his position, and Zhang Xiuniang spoke anxiously.

“。。。” Liu Cang was silent and glared at Zhang Xiuniang, but was replied with a gentle smile by the other party.

“。。。” The clan elder also turned his head and glared at Zhang Xiuniang, hating him indisputably, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Patriarch, don't deceive me when I'm young, Xiu Niang can't be counted as a person from your East Village, her father is still here, if I accept her, there is no problem with you or not." After a moment of silence, Liu Cang no longer looked at Zhang Xiuniang's eyebrows, and said to the elder of the Dongcun clan.

"Who said that the embroidery girl is not my Dongcun baby, and when she returns home, she is my Dongcun baby, if you dare to bully her, it is protected by Cai's family, and the Dongcun masters can't spare you." The old man of the Dongcun clan looked solemn.

Liu Cang was silent and didn't talk back to the old man, if you didn't have the previous set of operations, we would really believe it.

"Your baby has an inner show, and the old man doesn't go around the bend with you, no matter what else, now that you welcome my Dongcun girl, you can't blindly help Lou Sang bully my Dongcun in the future." As if powerless, the clan elder is slightly old and quite weak.

Liu Cang's heart was speechless, your face changed...

You're not going around the bush yet? You're not going around the bend, you're trying to draw a big elbow for yourself.

"The clan elders can rest assured, as long as they are not provoked in the East Village, they will not be discordant with their neighbors." Liu Cang responded.

The clan elder nodded, and secretly said in his heart that the boy was cautious, and today let him be defensive in his heart, but there was no need to entangle him more.

"That's good, the old man is tired today, and he has to suffer from the idleness of your junior, so he will wait for the embroidery girl and leave." The clan elder got up after speaking, looking old and desolate.

"The clan elder walks slowly, and there is still something to discuss with the clan elder."

"Huh? What's the matter? Accidentally stopped by Liu Cang, the clan elder stopped, as if he was interested.

"Qianmen'er Dongshan belongs to the land of two villages, and I want to plant and raise in the enclosure of the Dongshan, but I need to discuss with the clan elders." Liu Cang said to the clan elder.

"Higashiyama? What do you want to do with that rocky mountain? If you want to reclaim the wasteland, there are still some tidal lands on the back of our village, although there are gravel, but the terrain is gentle. The patriarch frowned.

"I don't want to reclaim the land, I just want to raise some livestock. If there is no one to reclaim the land, the rocky land on the side of the mountain also wants to be sprinkled with grass seeds. Liu Cang explained.

"Oh, the old man forgot that you are good at raising livestock, but a few animals are just that, and it is not so simple to have more." The clan elder was serious, and his face was a little more simple and a little less shrewd at this time.

"Well, somebody knows it." Liu Cang nodded.

"If you want, fence yourself. There is no shortage of firewood in our village, but Dongshan also has half of your Lousang, but the old man can't control it. The patriarch said, seeing that Liu Cang was full of confidence, he didn't say anything more.

"The old man said ugly things in front, you are in captivity in Dongshan for reclamation, and the old man will definitely restrain the villagers and not make trouble. But if Dongshan discovers salt and iron deposits, then it can't be counted as you. After thinking for a moment, the clan elder spoke again.

"At that time, naturally, a certain self would not dare to take advantage of the village here." Liu Cang nodded.

If a vein of salt iron ore is found, it will not belong to the village, but the village can get a lot of rewards and even a share. The things of their own family are shared by the villagers, and even the owner of the fief cannot eat them all.

Dongshan is not big, a lonely mountain, two or three hundred meters high, covers an area of more than ten hectares, the villagers occasionally go up the mountain to sweep the hares and foxes and other small beasts, never found any rare objects, this is just the old man cautious.

Liu Cang smiled secretly, the old and calculating juniors of this clan spared no effort and used any trick. When it comes to practice, it is quite serious and rigorous.

"You don't need to talk about taxes, right?" Seeing that Liu Cang understood, the clan elder continued to ask.

"You know, two villages and one village are half good?" Liu Cang asked, without the slightest recklessness at this time.

The patriarch observed Liu Cang, saw the change in his temperament, and was amazed, and was inexplicably happy in his heart, and then thought that it was the son of the Liu family, and he couldn't help but be a little unlucky.

"Half of a village, if someone from the county is looking for trouble, which village can help you with trouble, which village will have more." The patriarch continued.

Taxes, this thing is inevitable at any time, there is an agricultural tax for farming, there is a commercial tax for business, adult forced labor is also a kind of tax, and there is also a tax on this breeding.

If there is no one to track down in the official face, Liu Cang hides in the mountains to raise some livestock, and no one counts it, so he naturally does not have to pay taxes.

It's a pity that the clan elders in the village also have the responsibility of collecting taxes, but what the two said at this time is more that Liu Cang pays part of the taxes according to the village rules, and the clan elders collect taxes to offset the agricultural taxes and miscellaneous taxes that need to be paid in the village.

At this time, the tax can be money, grain, meat, there are many conversions between things, in general, valuable can be used as taxes, and food is the most intuitive and universal.

The Eastern Han Dynasty tax of 30 taxes is 1, which can be described as an absolute low point in history, but the miscellaneous taxes at the end of the Han Dynasty can also make the people have little money to spare.

Almost no one dares to fake the tax on land and grain, and the clan elders will naturally do some cover for other industries in the village, and cover up this part of the miscellaneous taxes such as grain tax and poll tax, so that the villagers can keep more food, and the village will naturally be richer.

As for the county sending people to find trouble, it is the official to check the actual industry and set the tax standard.

And what the patriarch said, come to think of it, everyone understands, right?

"Patriarch, my father Cai Yong, Cai Bojiao." Facing the ugly words that the clan elder said in front, Liu Cang said quite shyly.

“。。。” The clan elder was silent, MMP, if he wasn't afraid of being killed by Liu Cang, he really wanted to give him an old punch.

This animal boy has become a son of a family?
