Chapter 138: Grain Tax
The next day, because the grain of the people in the village had been collected and rested for two days, Li Zheng went to the village to inform the villagers to pay the tax and grain, and the yamen would come to pull the grain in a few days. 【Latest Chapter Reading】
Because Li Zheng didn't like the people of the Mu family, he asked the village chief to inform the Mu family to send the food to the village chief's house, and as soon as the village chief left, the Mu family made a fuss on the back foot.
After all, they hadn't paid taxes in the house in previous years, and now when the village chief came to talk about it, the Mu family didn't come to their senses, but it made the Mu family feel distressed for a long time before accepting this fact.
Old man Mu also felt sorry for the food, so he thought that if he hadn't listened to the old woman's instigation that day, how good it would have been to endure the days of tax collection, and in previous years, he would have paid the poll tax, such as the grain tax and forced labor, and now the third child has set up his own door, that is, two families, what if they don't pay the grain tax?
Old man Mu asked the three sons of the family to discuss the tax matter in the main house, of course, Mrs. Mu is also indispensable, looking at it, it is better to take the silver without food, and finally the old man Mu sighed.
"The eldest and the second, weigh the food at home and send it to the village chief when the time comes."
Mu Liang knew the importance of this grain to his family, but he also knew that he couldn't afford not to pay this tax, unless he wanted to eat in prison! This refusal to pay grain tax and obstruction of official business is to eat the board, of course he is in favor of paying taxes, so he had to nod at the moment.
Although Mu Gui was unwilling, he had to nod his head in response, only then did he find that the third lame man was still somewhat useful, but he became more and more determined to study, and then he could also let his family live a life without paying taxes!
"No, there is not enough food at home, what will we eat if we take it and pay it? I also want to sell some of this year's grain to Xianghua to make up the dowry, and now Xianghua's face is sick, and I can't take it to pay, this is originally the third child's business, you go to the third child to get the silver to pay, he has hard wings now, I can't control him, he is now living a good life and is tied to Lizheng, and he is asked to go and say no to Lizheng. ”
When Mrs. Mu heard that the old man asked her son to get food, she immediately stopped her, and her unashamed tone made Old Man Mu and Mu Liang's eyes widen, only Mu Gui lowered his head and thought seriously, feeling that this matter was not impossible.
The third child lives in Lizheng's house, what if he asks him to say a few words or asks him to fill in this tax? He has been eating and drinking at home for so many years, and the biggest effect is this, as a member of the Mu family, can we not think about it at home! Besides, he is also going to persuade his father and mother to take the silver to let him study and take the talent test, if this tax is paid, then there will be no silver in the family.
"I think what my mother said is right, the third brother is at Lizheng's house, let him say a few good words to Lizheng As in previous years, the family can also save food."
"What do you know, the tax is not to be collected, it is the imperial court, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand anything!"
Old man Mu looked at the old woman and his second son thinking of a set, and immediately scolded angrily, if it was really something that could be done in a few words and still used them to say, then he wouldn't be so bothered.
"Yes, mother, this matter is not right, the third brother has already separated from us, they don't even have a place to live under the fence now, and now ask him to fill in the family's taxes, if it is known, it will poke the backbone of our family, I will not go."
"What? Boss, you just protect the third turtle grandson, we can't even eat enough, how can he live a good life with food and drink, I knew that I should have strangled him when he gave birth to such a strong seed. ”
Mrs. Mu watched the boss not take her seriously anymore, as long as she said that the third child would protect her, and suddenly scolded with displeasure in her eyes.
"What's the quarrel, the boss is right, we just let him pay the family's taxes as soon as we get the old man out, the people in the village know that they don't know what to think of us, you are not allowed to do such a shameful thing, you will weigh the food for me and send it to the village chief, don't listen to your mother."
Old man Mu was obedient and the old woman was talking more and more unspeakable, and immediately scolded Mrs. Mu and drove the two sons to weigh the grain like ducks.
Mrs. Mu looked at the old man with wide eyes and dissatisfaction, and suddenly held her chest and fell on the kang with a cry of ouch, scolding in her mouth.
Although this matter was pressed by Old Man Mu, Mrs. Mu always did not give up, and asked the Wang family to go to Lizheng's house to let Ye Fan and Mu Yichen go back to discuss the matter, wanting to force the two of them to pay this year's taxes.
Ye Fan was injured on her hand, and the people of the Qu family would not let her work, so Ye Fan had breakfast and went to the place where they built a house, she always felt that she was not at ease if she didn't take a look, after all, the village was still a little suspicious of the rumors on Mu Yichen, she was afraid that no one in the village would be willing to help her build the house, and in the end she could only be tired of Qu Dayi, and then she would not be happy in her heart.
When Ye Fan went in the morning, he sent some brown sugar water to the people who repaired the house, only to find that the people who helped them build the house were some acquaintances.
There are two members of Tao Chun's family, as well as Li Dazui and a few other men, and later Ye Fan heard Tao Chun's sister-in-law say that those people are cousins and cousins of the Tao family, and it is also because Ye Fan saved Tao Dong'er, and Widow Lian asked Tao Dong'er to come to the door to invite these uncles to help, in addition to Tao Dong'er's reasons, but also because she promised to have ten yuan a day.
And when the village chief asked the villagers to help Ye Fan build the house, there was really no one else except for the Tao family and a Li Dazui! This made the village chief who swore at that time a little unbearable, so he said that he had ten cents a day.
Ye Fan looked at Tao Chun's sister-in-law and remembered that she hadn't thanked Tao Chun's sister-in-law properly after she came back from the mountain, after all, it was Tao Chun's sister-in-law who didn't dislike her and carried her off the mountain, and it was also the things that happened too fast in the past two days that made her forget about this stubble.
Now that she saw Ye Fan, of course, she thanked and thanked, and only after coming down did she buy two catties of meat and two packets of sugar cubes, if it weren't for the fact that there were no dim sum to sell in the village, she would have wanted to buy some for the children of Tao Chun's sister-in-law's family.
Ye Fan returned to the Qu family with these things, told Mu Yichen the whereabouts of these things, and got his strong support.
At this time, the Wang family arrived at the door of Lizheng's house like a thief and knocked on the door.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhang opened the door and looked at Wang standing outside the door, he didn't like it, but he had to ask out loud.
Because the other party is Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Wang's momentum is not as strong as at home, and he is unconsciously shorter! Especially when I saw a full-length silver hairpin on Zhang's head, a silver bracelet was inadvertently exposed on his wrist, although the silver bracelet was thin, it looked like it was at least three or two heavy, and the hairpin added up to at least five or six taels of silver, which made Wang's jealous eyes red, and his mouth was pantothenic.
"Let Mu Laosan and Ye come out, and ask them to go back to discuss something in the old house."
