Chapter 245 Exemption from taxes for two years
After receiving the holy decree, everyone got up, Chen Xianling glanced at Gonggong Gui with a smile at this time, and did not dare to speak until Gonggong Gui nodded: "Everyone, there is also good news, this official has also received His Majesty's will, Gutong Village, as a new grain producing area, can be exempted from taxes for two years. ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was directly fried.
"How much? Two years? ”
"Oh my God, can we really get two years of tax exemption?"
The village chief looked at this lively situation, for fear that they would collide with the nobles, so he immediately stopped them and quieted everyone down, so he respectfully saluted a few people and asked, "Your nobleman, Lord Chen, we, can we really exempt two years of taxes?" ”
Chen Xianling smiled and nodded: "Then Your Majesty's will can still be fake, and the official document will be issued later, you just have to wait." ”
The village chief is excited, two years, two years of taxes, this is enough to change the fate of their Gutong Village.
"Thank you for the emperor's grace, thank you for the emperor's grace." The village chief pounced, knelt down and began to kowtow.
Seeing this, the villagers also knelt down, and for a while, the voice of Emperor Xie's grace resounded in the sky above Gutong Village.
Gonggong Gui looked at all this with satisfaction, and decided that he must report to His Majesty after he goes back.
It was only after the village chief and they finished kowtowing that Gonggong Gui spoke: "Get up, we will definitely convey your awe to Your Majesty when we go back." ”
"More nobles." The village chief took everyone to snort again, which was called a sincere heart.
However, what he is most grateful to is the Wen family, all of which was brought to them by the Wen family and Wen Xiuyi.
After Luo Shi saw that Gonggong Gui finished speaking, everyone stood dryly, and quickly stabbed Wen Xiuyi's waist.
Wen Xiu was easy to understand, hugged his fists and said: "Father-in-law, Lord Chen, and all the adults have also worked hard, the students' families have prepared some simple meals, and please don't dislike the nobles and adults, and move into the table." ”
Gonggong Gui smiled: "Master Wen, you can now call yourself a subordinate official." ”
Chen Xianling also hugged his fists: "Yes, Lord Wen, you are now at the same level as me, so you don't need to be so polite." ”
Wen Xiuyi smiled awkwardly, isn't it that he hasn't switched back from the role yet.
"Then Grandpa Gui, Lord Chen, please."
"Please."
Wen Xiuyi led the two of them towards the Wen family's new courtyard first, where Chef Chen and the others were ready, the village chief followed behind, and the villagers behind took the initiative to ask for help.
was all replied by Luo: "Okay, it's not enough to add to the chaos, the family has already been prepared, you go to help, do you know how to help?" Don't turn around and offend the nobles, we can't protect you, all hurry home, what should you do, don't do the work in the field? ”
Everyone thought about it, it was really like this, in case they made a mistake and offended these adults from the capital at that time, they really couldn't eat and walked away.
A group of people scattered, only the village chief stayed, and Wen Laohan saw this and left his younger brother behind.
Second Master Wen is so nervous that he is dying now, seeing that these big officials' legs are shaking, and he wants him to go to eat with him, he is really afraid that he will not be able to eat.
But Old Man Wen didn't let him back down.
"You are the second uncle of Xiuyi, this is a major event of our Wen family, what are you running? Follow me, don't be cowardly. After Wen Laohan finished speaking, he led Second Master Wen with his hands behind his back and followed.
Second Master Wen hunched his back and followed behind in a sneering manner, peeking at the front from time to time, it turned out that this was an official from the capital.
When I arrived at the new house, the door opened, and the tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard had already been set up.
Wen Xiuyi said to Father-in-law Gui and Lord Chen: "Father-in-law Gui, Lord Chen, this is my father's yard, let the others rest here for a while, and the two of you please go to Xiaguan's house with Xiaguan." ”
The two of them had no opinion, and Gonggong Gui ordered the others to rest and eat here and followed Wen Xiuyi.
Wen Laohan left the other two sons to entertain here, but these two people couldn't even speak, and finally came out to save the scene.
"Old lady, go ahead, I'll accompany the second master and the third master to greet here."
There is a patrol wind, and the old man is relieved.
Wen Xiuyi led Gonggong Gui and Chen Xian Ling into the door of his house, and as soon as he came back, Wen Yao changed his clothes and went into the kitchen, Luo and Shi Mama and others helped in the kitchen, and Wen Xiuyi was responsible for entertaining them.
After sitting down, Gonggong Gui spoke: "Lord Wen, before coming here, Lord Fu specially explained to our family, and when you get here, you must say hello to Lord Wen and the old lady." ”
Wen Xiuyi smiled and nodded: "Difficult prince to remember." ”
"Someone." Gonggong Gui shouted outside, and immediately a little eunuch ran in and waited for the order, only to listen to Gonggong Gui: "You take someone to the carriage and move the things that Prince Fu asked our family to bring." ”
"Yes."
The little eunuch turned around and ran, and Gonggong Gui said: "Before leaving, Prince Fu asked our family to bring some things to Lord Wen, saying that he couldn't come to greet Lord Wen in person, so he asked our family to hand over the gifts on his behalf." ”
Wen Xiuyi was moved from the bottom of his heart, this Li Fu is really interesting.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, father-in-law." Wen Xiuyi gave another official thanks.
Soon, the little eunuch took a large number of large boxes and small boxes into the courtyard, and Gonggong Gui led Wen Xiuyi over and opened the boxes in the courtyard.
I saw that there were all the four treasures of the study, silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry, and Lord Chen was envious when he saw it, and the eyes of the village chief who saw it widened.
Second Master Wen, who was standing with Wen Laohan, was almost untenable, but fortunately he was picked up by Wen Laohan.
"This is a gift list, Lord Wen check it, otherwise something is missing, and it will be difficult for our family to explain to the prince when we go back." Gonggong Gui handed over a gift slip to Wen Xiuyi.
Wen Xiuyi took it, and it was impossible to count it at this time, so he directly put away the gift list, and said: "Father-in-law, where is this, don't order, don't order, everyone, please do a favor and move things to the warehouse, hard work." ”
Wen Xiuyi hurriedly asked people to move the things, so many valuable things were placed in this courtyard, he was panicked.
A few people went back to the house to sit and drink tea and chat and wait for Wen Yao to prepare, and Father-in-law Gui was also dutiful, and asked a lot of things about corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were all to be written down and reported to His Majesty.
Wen Xiuyi chatted with him for a while before thinking of tax exemption.
Qiu Rongrong has planted a lot of crops in her village, she takes care of her own girl so much, can she do something?
After thinking about it, Wen Xiuyi decided to ask directly, anyway, he is a farmer, if he annoys the other party, the big deal is to fool the country people who don't understand so much.
"What, Gonggong Gui, Lord Chen, there is something I would like to ask the lower officials, if there are other places that are also cultivating these three new grains with us, can the taxes be exempted? Or is it just free of our Gutong Village? ”
