Chapter 754: Poll Tax
The days went by day by day.
Calm has returned to Bailu Village.
After the ancestral hall was repaired, everyone gathered in the ancestral hall to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"This time to repair the ancestral hall, everyone has contributed." Bai Jiaxuan said words of gratitude.
After the ancestral hall was completed, Bai Jiaxuan sat firmly in the position of the patriarch.
Lu Zilin also wanted to find trouble with Zhou Qiang, saying that Zhou Qiang didn't pay for the ancestral hall.
However, seeing Zhou Qiang's cold eyes, Lu Zilin flinched.
I don't know when it started, Lu Zilin was a little scared of Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang's new home, due to the many requirements, is relatively slow to build, and it will take time.
However, no one dared to make trouble.
I didn't see that Lu Zilin's township was about to make trouble, and he was beaten into a pig's head by Zhou Qiang.
There is one in the village, and no one dares to mess with Zhou Qiang.
The people in the village saw that there was a lot of work on the construction site and wanted to do something to make some money, so Zhou Qiang also let him go.
There are more people around Zhou Qiang every day, more than there are people who go to the security center.
Lu Zilin's township covenant is not majestic, and there are only a few fox friends around him.
Zhou Qiangbao's mountain planted some artichoke and artichoke.
Artichoke is a potato.
Artichoke can be used to make pickles, or some can be eaten appropriately as a staple food.
Both crops are drought tolerant.
Zhou Qiang has already hired long-term workers.
In a nearby village, a man in his twenties named Pang An.
His father fell ill, spent all the family's money, and left.
The poor can't open the pot and come out to find work.
Zhou Qiang once came back from the provincial capital and met this Pang An.
After chatting for a while, I felt that Pang An was good, so I accepted it.
Pang An came to Zhou Qiang's house early every morning to work, worked all day, and went home in the evening.
Pang An is married, has a daughter-in-law and a baby.
Pang An does not live with Zhou Qiang.
Of course, I ate it at Zhou Qiang's house.
The treatment given by Zhou Qiang, like everyone else, is neither kind nor mean, no more, no less.
After having a long-term job, Zhou Qiang's small life is more comfortable.
Either live in the provincial capital for a few days, or go hunting in the mountains, and most of the work at home is handed over to the long-term labor.
Carrying a handful of trolls.
Riding a horse, Zhou Qiang entered the mountain.
Zhou Qiang has a horse.
He used to travel on a donkey cart.
Later, I bought a horse and rode it to the provincial capital.
Zhou Qiang thought about buying a box cannon one day, with a big knife, so that the equipment would be complete.
Going into the mountains to hunt, Zhou Qiang is mainly playing, and he doesn't care about what he can catch.
Sometimes, get a few pheasants and hares back.
Sometimes, Zhou Qiang can also get a wild boar.
Didn't meet bandits.
Maybe it's because of poverty.
In the direction of Zhou Qiang's entry into the mountain, there were no bandits.
Bailu Village had a peaceful time.
Someday.
The peaceful life on the White Deer Plains was interrupted.
Because, Lu Zilin is going to collect taxes, and he has to check the acres of land and add a poll tax.
Note that it is a tax increase.
I have to take money out of the pockets of the common people again.
This is again the rhythm that wants to force the common people to death.
Bai Jiaxuan asked Lu Zilin: "Did you eat the hole?" ”
In Bai Jiaxuan's eyes, Lu Zilin, the township covenant, doesn't do anything, just eat and drink.
This is exactly the same as before, when the county had a deficit and collected three more truckloads of grain.
Lu Zilin's security center is not a formal government agency.
The people who work here are not paid.
The additional tax is divided into 70% in the county, 20% in the warehouse, and 10% in the guarantee.
In fact, this success is not less.
"No, what nonsense." Of course, Lu Zilin will not admit it.
Soon, word of the tax collection spread.
Bai Jiaxuan's family came to many villagers again.
Everyone doesn't want to pay more taxes, and wants Bai Jiaxuan to take the lead in making trouble.
But this time Bai Jiaxuan didn't want to come out.
Before the Jiaonong uprising, Bai Jiaxuan took the lead in making trouble, if it weren't for Mr. Zhu's letter, Bai Jiaxuan would have died.
This time the tax is collected, Bai Jiaxuan will make trouble again, and he will definitely die.
Therefore, Bai Jiaxuan pretended to be sick and hid.
Lu San stopped everyone at the gate and said, "The patriarch is sick, and he is rolling on the kang in pain." ”
Good guy, Lu San's mouth is not light.
In fact, in the courtyard, Bai Jiaxuan was drinking with Zhou Qiang.
"Patriarch, can we pay this poll tax?" After hearing about the poll tax, Zhou Qiang came to Bai Jiaxuan's house under the pretext of eating oily noodles made of fairy grass.
Zhou Qiang likes oily noodles made of fairy grass.
Bai Jiaxuan took a pouch of cigarettes, frowned, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I have to pay miles." ”
"Oh? Patriarch, you don't want to get a chicken feather letter again, and then make a peasant uprising? Zhou Qiang joked casually. Since he beat Bai Jiaxuan, he has spoken more casually to Bai Jiaxuan.
"If you can't make it, if you get it again, you'll die." Bai Jiaxuan seemed to be afraid of death.
"Patriarch, if the villagers pay taxes, I'm afraid they will have a hard time."
Bai Jiaxuan nodded and didn't speak.
In the face of the government's tax collection, Bai Jiaxuan, the patriarch, has nothing to do.
The general trend is rolling, and individuals are powerless to resist.
"Xiaoqiang, come, eat oil and splash noodles!" The fairy grass made noodles and greeted warmly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, the oily noodles you make are better than those made in the provincial noodle restaurants. ”
"If it's delicious, eat an extra bowl."
"Okay, I'll eat six bowls today." Zhou Qiang was not polite. When he came, he didn't have empty hands, he took a lot of wine, meat, and tofu, "Third brother, come to garlic?" ”
"I have." Lu San also came back for dinner.
"Then add me some more spicy, the spicy is more fragrant."
"Okay."
Zhou Qiang snorted and ate.
The villagers outside couldn't see Bai Jiaxuan, so they could only go to Lu Zilin.
"This is the order of the county magistrate, and I can't help it." Lu Zilin is determined to collect taxes.
What did Lu Zilin do?
It is to help the government and loot the people's fat and ointment.
A dogleg like him is destined to be poked in the backbone and scolded by the villagers.
(PS: If the devil comes, Lu Zilin will definitely be a traitor, a lackey, and a traitor.) Lu Zilin's fox friends and dog friends, Bai Xing'er, Sang Laoba and others, must also be traitors. )
The government should suck more blood from the common people.
If the common people are sucked more blood, they will not be able to live.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
Since ancient times, officials have forced the people to rebel, and this is the case.
In the TV series, Bai Jiaxuan planted poppies, and when they matured, they boiled opium, which exuded a fragrance and was smelled by Bai Xing'er.
Bai Xing'er smoked a big cigarette, knew that it was opium, and hurriedly told Lu Zilin.
Lu Zilin called Bai Jiaxuan to the security center, pointed at Bai Jiaxuan's nose in front of everyone and asked, "What did you plant?" Opium! ”
It is illegal to grow opium.
Bai Jiaxuan explained that it was sent by the drug delivery shop.
Lu Zilin said on the spot, "We also want to plant." "This clearly shows that they want to break the law together.
Bai Jiaxuan disagreed with everyone planting together, saying, "The pharmacy can't collect so much opium." ”
When Bai Jiaxuan said this, he was angry.
"Why can Bai Jiaxuan grow opium and make a lot of money, but we can't grow it?!"
At this moment, the villagers didn't care that Bai Jiaxuan was the patriarch, nor did they care about Bai Jiaxuan's previous efforts.
When it comes to the interests of the villagers themselves, they can definitely be "ungrateful, bullying the weak and fearing the hard." ”
So, under the instigation and instigation of Lu Zilin, the villagers planted poppies despite Bai Jiaxuan's obstruction.
This can be regarded as a change of direction to solve the problem of Lu Zilin's tax collection.
Bai Jiaxuan inadvertently helped Lu Zilin a lot.
It's different now.
Bai Jiaxuan's tobacco seedlings were plowed.
Bai Jiaxuan did not boil opium, and did not cause the problem of 'you planted it, don't let us plant it'.
There is no Bai Jiaxuan to transfer the 'irreconcilable contradictions'.
Lu Zilin is the wild dog that was roasted on the fire by Tian Fuxian.
Lu Zilin is a native of Bailu Village.
Now he helps outsiders and bullies his neighbors.
Lu Zilin, and even the reputation of the Lu family, stinks and rots.
The reputation of the Lu family maintained by Lu Taiheng for many years is gone.
"Pay taxes, you have to pay taxes!" Lu Zilin took fox friends and dog friends, and every household notified them.
"Don't pay!"
"If you want a poll tax, no way!" The villagers refused to pay the overtax.
But, obviously, this is not going to work.
The gun-bearer soon came.
"Grabbing grain" from house to house, daring not to hand it over, directly arresting people.
"Don't!"
"If the food is snatched, how can we live!"
"Give me a way to live!"
"Lu Zilin, you brute!"
"Lu Zilin, you are not human!"
"Lu Zilin, you can't die well!"
"Lu Zilin, who has been stabbed by a thousand knives, thunder and thunder that day!"
The road led by Lu Zilin.
The villagers' food was snatched.
At this moment, the villagers hated not the guns and the food, but Lu Zilin.
The villagers cried and called their mother, Bai Jiaxuan heard it, but Bai Jiaxuan did not come out.
It's not that Bai Jiaxuan doesn't want to come out, it's that Bai Jiaxuan knows that if he comes out, he will die, and it's useless.
The arms can't twist the thighs.
If Bai Jiaxuan came out, he would definitely be crushed into slag by the general trend.
Lu Zilin became the punching bag for the villagers.
At the gate of the deer house, some people poured urine and some people pooped.
Not only is the reputation of the Lu family stinky, but the house is also stinky.
This is the price of Lu Zilin as a dog's leg.
"Zhaopeng, don't go out to play these days." Lu Taiheng was afraid that someone would attack his eldest grandson.
"Why can't you go out?"
"Because your dad did something bad."
"What did my dad do?"
"I did a bad thing like thunder and thunder."
One night.
Lu Zilin had just come out of Widow Li's house.
He didn't go far before he was beaten with a stick.
Blindfolded and thrown into the pigsty.
Morning.
Only then did someone see Lu Zilin in the pigsty.
"Come on, Lu Zilin has fallen into the pigsty!"
Lu Zilin was sleeping in Zhengmei, but was woken up and found that he was sleeping in a pigsty.
"Which son of a son did it?"
"I'm grass***"
Lu Zilin didn't have time to get out of the pigsty, and he was stinky, so he scolded.
But without scolding, a sow was not happy.
"Hmph" twice, one hit Lu Zilin, and pulled a bubble of on Lu Zilin's head.
Lu Zilin didn't watch out, and ate a few bites.
"Hahaha" The onlookers burst into laughter.
Lu Zilin's embarrassed appearance made them very relieved.
Lu Zilin, a dog day, has finally been retributed.
"Bai Xing'er, Sang Laoba, you two dogs, don't come to help Lao Tzu!" Lu Zilin was furious.
"Luxiang, it's better for you to get up by yourself, it's too smelly." Lu Zilin's fox friend didn't help Lu Zilin.
Because of this requisition, Lu Zilin also attacked fox friends and dogs, and showed no mercy.
The reason why Lu Zilin showed no mercy was because the more he received, the more he shared.
Lu Zilin's heart is too dark, too greedy for money, there is no room for people, and he has no way out.
Lu Zilin had no one to help, struggled a few times in the pigsty, fell a few times, and then climbed out of the pigsty.
This time, Lu Zilin didn't care about scolding people and went home embarrassed.
"I want revenge!"
"Which bastard hits me, I'm going to kill him!"
"Damn it! Bai Xing'er and Sang Laoba dare not help me"
Lu Zilin was at home, scolding and scolding.
He also seemed to dare to scold at home.
"Bastard, shut up!" Lu Taiheng finally couldn't help it.
"Dad, this is someone who hurt me, I want to take revenge."
"Report a fart!" Lu Taiheng shouted angrily, "Go, I'll go and quit this bullshit township later." This lack of virtue cannot be done anymore. ”
"I can't quit. Dad, do you know how much food I can share this time? this number. "Lu Zilin's security center can be divided into one percent of the tax, and Lu Zilin has got a lot of food.
"How much?"
"This number"
"What? So much! Lu Taiheng was stunned.
"Yes, Dad, I hid this grain in the security center, and I will quietly bring it back in the evening."
"Then be careful not to be seen." Lu Taiheng also didn't let Lu Zilin resign.
The family style of the Lu family is like this, and it is not strange for Lu Zilin to behave like this.
It didn't take long.
Lu Zilin walked around the village with a gun.
Lu Zilin was looking for someone to beat him.
Zhou Qiang's house.
Zhou Qiang is selling wine, meat, and tofu.
Lu Zilin came with a gun, wanting to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
"Zhou Qiang, say, did you beat me last night?"
"Lu Lao, what are you trying to do? Wronged good people, right? Believe it or not, I'll go to the provincial capital to sue you! Zhou Qiang's eyes were glowing with cold.
Lu Zilin and Zhou Qiang looked at each other, and suddenly coaxed, "I'll just ask, it's not you." ”
Lu Zilin is gone.
"Bah, doglegs, don't die well!" Zhou Qiang, like the other villagers, scolded.
Lu Zilin walked not far and could hear it.
But Lu Zilin pretended not to hear. He's used to being scolded like that. But he doesn't care, he gets more benefits.
A few turns.
Lu Zilin didn't find the person who beat him.
But it was also shocked, and some people who had ideas in their hearts didn't dare to do anything to Lu Zilin.
At night.
Lu Zilin came out of Widow Li's house again.
"Bump".
Lu Zilin was knocked unconscious again.
This time it was Zhou Qiang who hit.
During the day, Lu Zilin wronged Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang felt that he couldn't be wronged in vain, so he beat Lu Zilin.
I was too lazy to move Lu Zilin, so I let Lu Zilin walk here.
It didn't take long.
The cripple came over at night.
The cripple master is the husband of the night patrol in Bailu Village.
He has no land at home, so he makes a living by patrolling the night.
The legs and feet are not good to fall and are a little lame.
This can be regarded as Bailu Village giving the lonely and widowed old people a way to live.
saw Lu Zilin who fell to the ground.
"Oh no! Lu Xiangyue fell at the door of Widow Li! ”
The cripple master's voice alarmed the nearby neighbors.
Soon someone came running over and pointed.
Lu Zilin fell at the door of Widow Li, and everyone knew what was going on.
Widow Li also came out at this time.
She pretended not to know what was going on, "Why is Luxiang here?" ”
"Widow Li, are you tired of tossing Luxiang and letting Luxiang fall asleep as soon as you go out?" Someone spoke sarcastically.
Usually, everyone still has some face.
Now, Lu Zilin has become a street rat, and everyone shouts and beats him.
Lu Zilin's, everyone didn't hide it, and scolded it.
"Yes, Widow Li, why don't you take it easy?"
"Widow Li is very capable, let's try it another day."
"Widow Li has made an appointment with Luxiang."
"Lu Xiangyue is too busy and tired, don't wake him up, let him sleep!"
Everyone followed suit.
After a while.
Bai Jiaxuan is here.
Zhou Qiang pretended not to know what was going on, and also came.
"What are you doing? Don't wake up Lu Zilin yet! When Bai Jiaxuan came, Lu Zilin hadn't been woken up yet. Everyone was busy watching the jokes.
Bai Xing'er and Sang Laoba rubbed up to wake up Lu Zilin.
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Zilin was in a trance.
Looking around, Lu Zilin finally woke up, and he was beaten again.
"Who did this?!"
"I'm grass***" Lu Zilin scolded again.
"Okay, stop scolding, let's go back quickly." Bai Jiaxuan looked at Lu Zilin and Widow Li coldly and left.
Bai Jiaxuan knew what was going on, but he didn't want to care about Lu Zilin's.
This can be regarded as Bai Jiaxuan's opening up to Lu Zilin.
If Lu Zilin is an ordinary person, Bai Jiaxuan will definitely punish him severely.
Although everyone scolded Lu Zilin, there were more and more people who had nothing to eat.
From ancient times to the present, it is really not easy for ordinary people to live!
What if you can't survive?
Sell land!
Sell land if you have land!
land, sold to Bai Jiaxuan.
Bai Jiaxuan did not take the opportunity to lower the price, and gave more grain.
Lu Zilin also wanted to take the opportunity to buy land, but Bai Jiaxuan raised the price, and Lu Zilin didn't want to pay more, so he didn't buy it.
Bai Jiaxuan is still more benevolent than Lu Zilin.
How can landless villagers live?
You can only beg along the streets.
Someone in Bailu Village went to the county seat to beg for food, dragging their families with them.
These people, the final end, the child is sold, if he can sell it, it is the best, and he can't sell it.
Isn't this poll tax a poll tax?
Zhou Qiang heard about this.
He hesitated, but still planned to take care of it.
Bai Jiaxuan's house.
"Patriarch, I will provide food, you find the neighbors who return to the county to ask for food, let them work for me, and I will let them have enough to eat."
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't I rent a hill? Let them go up to the mountains and plant artichokes and artichokes. "Zhou Qiang's mountain is too big, he only planted a little before, and there are still many places that have not been planted.
"Okay, I also want to find them, they are all members of the same family, and I can't ignore them." Bai Jiaxuan also moved his mind to help his neighbors tide over the difficulties.
What about the corresponding Lu Zilin?
Lu Zilin is at home, counting the people's fat and people's ointment, there are too many to count.
Lu Zilin didn't care that someone would starve to death.
Lu Zilin is a typical landlord.
There are many landlords like Lu Zilin.
Bai Jiaxuan is very rare.
Zhou Qiang rented the mountain, and people came to farm one after another.
They are not afraid of being tired, they are afraid of starving.
Zhou Qiang is willing to give them a bite to eat, which is to give them a way to live.
Zhou Qiang is their savior.
