Starting from Gaojia Village, first take a section of cement road to Zhengjia Village, and then there is only the S-shaped winding dirt road scraped out by Li Daoxuan with a metal scraper, and go down the mountain along this road, and arrive in Heyang County.

Continuing east along the dirt road, is Yang Village in Heyang County.

There are already a large number of people in Yang Village who are leading the wages given by Gaojia Village to build roads, and there is a hot atmosphere.

Gao Yiye saw this scene, and he was quite happy in his heart: "The people of Heyang County, like the people of Chengcheng County, have work to do, food to eat, and wherever Tianzun goes, everyone can live a good life." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Isn't it, Tianzun is really a good person, ah no, he is a good immortal." ”

Dong Xue said: "If there is no Tianzun to help, we are still working hard in the Qinglou, and now that I think about it, it is like a different world."

Gao Yiye reached over and shook the hands of the two girls in Qiu and Dong: "Don't worry, those days have passed." ”

The two girls nodded.

Their team of people is actually quite eye-catching, more than a hundred militia groups fully armed to the teeth are guarding beside them, and there is a big car in the middle, the curtain is lifted a little, and a beautiful woman can be seen looking out of the window in the car.

The migrant workers in Heyang County, who were building the road, couldn't help but whisper a few words.

"This is the family of the eldest master."

"Cut, you don't know? It was the Holy Maiden of Dao Xuan Tianzun. ”

"What? What Dao Xuan Tianzun? ”

"You forgot? Last time I begged for rain, who did Ma Tianzheng ask for rain? ”

"Ahh I remembered that it was the great immortal who invited the Dragon King of the Four Seas to come and rain. ”

"It's right to think about it, don't forget to dig the well, we can rain here, it all depends on Dao Xuantian Zun and his old man to invite the Dragon King of the Four Seas."

"We have this work of three catties of flour a day to do, and it all depends on Dao Xuan Tianzun."

"Be respectful to the Holy Maiden!

As soon as the migrant workers discussed, the news began to spread, and then, where Gao Yiye's car passed, all the migrant workers on both sides of the road bowed down. They didn't directly thank the immortals, and now that they saw the holy woman representing the immortals, of course they had to express themselves.

Qiu Ju looked out of the car window and turned her head: "Holy Maiden, the common people are all saluting our car.

Gao Yiye smiled: "How good Tianzun is, they have already felt it personally, and I really hope that all the people in the world will have such a day." ”

After passing Yang Village, the team turned southeast and passed through the flattest farmland area in Heyang County, which had been rained by Li Daoxuan in turn, and the farmers were busy in the fields.

At this time, it was already the spring of Chongzhen's third year, and it was the spring ploughing season.

Tianzun was able to give them rain at this time, which really made everyone ecstatic, and the farmers desperately ploughed the fields and planted the crops, and the whole plain showed a thriving scene.

Yang Village to Heyang County, more than 20 miles, the terrain is flat, the team only walked for more than an hour to arrive, and they did not send someone to pass the word in advance before they came, so Feng Jun, the commander of Heyang County, did not know that they were coming, and he was not prepared to greet them.

The two veterans guarding the city gate were startled when they saw a large group of militias armed to the teeth, and almost struck the police gong.

Fortunately, the people who got the news ran in first, and shouted at the veteran guarding the door: "That's the holy daughter of Dao Xuan Tianzun, the Dao Xuan Tianzun who helped us with rain." ”

Only then did the veteran put down the small hammer that was about to strike the gong, opened the city gate, and warmly welcomed him.

The official quickly ran to inform Feng Jun, who also hurriedly put on his official uniform and straightened his official hat, and then greeted him.

As soon as he saw Gao Yiye, Feng Jun was stunned, this girl saw it last time, she claimed to be the eldest lady of the Li family, and this time, she actually became the holy daughter of Dao Xuan Tianzun.

But he is not stupid, his brain is spinning quickly, Daoxuan Tianzun's real name is Li Daoxuan, and the saint is probably a woman who regards herself as a god, so she calls herself Mrs. Li, which is not unreasonable.

In short, this person is the speaker of Gaojia Village, and he must pay attention to it, whether she is a saint or not, it will not be wrong if she is the village chief of Gaojia Village.

Feng Jun saw the salute in a dignified manner: "Mrs. Li, the third steward, the two of you are here, I don't know what to advise." ”

Gao Yiye now doesn't need the help of Thirty-two to talk to the county order, and his own big lady temperament is revealed: "We came to Heyang County this time to mine coal mines." ”

"Huh? Mining?

This request surprised Feng Jun.

"Yes, open a mine." Gao Yiye smiled: "We want to contract the coal mine in Jinshuigou. ”

Feng Jun's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, private mining has been prohibited, and there have even been many cases of miners who have privately mined rebellion and fought with officers and soldiers.

But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court's control over private mines has been greatly relaxed, to the Chongzhen period, it is no longer manageable, in the capital around the city, Jiangnan, Shanxi and other places, there began to appear private miners, they develop a pit by themselves, and then pay a quarter of the mining income to the imperial court as a mining tax, the imperial court will also be comfortable to collect money, the coal mine to private bosses to operate, which also belongs to the Ming Dynasty in the last years of capitalism budding one of the phenomena.

Of course, it was said that a quarter was actually handed over not a quarter, because there was a lack of a reliable statistical method at that time, and how could the government find out how much coal was dug in the private kiln?

Therefore, how much tax to pay in the end depends on how the coal kiln boss and the competent officials talk, if the coal boss has a hard background, the tax will naturally be less, or even have to pay.

Under this premise, the wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan region colluded with officials to escape almost all the mining taxes, so that the imperial court could not collect money at all.

In the end, a big man was born, and that was Wei Zhongxian.

Although this 9,000-year-old has made many stupid moves, he has also made a miraculous move, that is, to collect taxes from the coal mines run by officials in the Jiangnan area, and to prevent them from being corrupt and perverting the law, enriching their own pockets, and forcing them to spit out a quarter of their profits and hand them over to the imperial court.

This move also offended almost all civil officials in the Jiangnan area.......

Feng Jun thought of this, and his nosebleed down!

Gao Yiye was taken aback: "Lord Feng, your nosebleed." ”

"Huh?" Feng Jun stretched out his hand and wiped it vigorously on his nose, and the blood line drew a wavy shape on his face, which showed that his hand trembled violently when he wiped it.

He said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Mrs. Li is going to contract our coal mine in Jinshuigou in Heyang County?" This is the ...... 'M afraid...... This official might as well say bluntly that since Wei Zhongxian's death, the new policy formulated by the imperial court on the matter of mining tax is a bit ...... Cough...... This mine is a bit difficult to operate. ”
