Chapter 36: The Tax and Food Crisis

"Girl in Clothes, be careful!

Liu Changping was so anxious that he hurriedly cleaned up all the nearby tables, chairs and benches to make room for Mo Yiyi to avoid being injured by Mo Yiyi.

"Girl, don't jump!"

"Let's go to sleep!"

Liu Fugui and his wife also followed suit.

Mo Yiyi not only didn't listen, but jumped even more happily.

Dancing up and down!

Like a little monkey.

Everyone was helpless, so they had to let Mo Yiyi toss.

At this time, Li Yuanzhao still had a way, he got up and stepped forward, without saying a word, pinched Mo Yiyi's shoulder, and gently pressed it to subdue him.

"Let go of me! let go of me!" Mo Yiyi struggled hard, to no avail.

Li Yuanzhao grabbed the belt around Mo Yiyi's waist, lifted it casually, and picked it up like a chicken.

Then he walked into Mo Yiyi's room and threw it on the bed.

Mo Yiyi used his hands and feet together and struggled to get up.

Just halfway up, he was stepped on by Li Yuanzhao.

Get up again, step on it again.

Tossed a few times, Mo Yiyi finally had no strength and fell asleep.

I slept soundly and for a long time.

It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that she woke up and opened her eyes.

Stretch out, the spirit is very refreshing.

After washing up, he practiced his sword in the courtyard.

Swish!

Swish!

"Girl, have you woken up?"

Liu Fugui and his wife were about to go to the field, and when they saw Mo Yiyi in the courtyard, they asked with a smile.

Mo Yiyi's face flushed slightly and nodded.

Last night's drunkenness, although I have a vague impression, I generally remember it.

When she thought about it, she panicked.

I secretly swore that I would never drink again.

It's unpleasant and shameful!

"Girl in clothes, have you woken up?"

After a while, Liu Changping walked out of the room and asked with concern.

Although it was a word of concern, it changed in Mo Yiyi's ears, and she pursed her lips, unwilling to pay attention.

Liu Changping didn't see the girl's embarrassment, thought there was something, and continued to ask.

was so angry that Mo Yiyi was dancing with a sword, and the sword was full of anger.

"Apprentice, have you woken up?"

At this time, Li Yuanzhao paced out of the house and asked such a question.

Mo Yiyi was completely blown up, blushing, and roared: "Wake up! Wake up! What are you asking, are you bothered!"

"Grandma won't drink anymore, hum!"

With that, he trotted and ran out of the yard without looking back.

"Girl in Clothes!"

Liu Changping was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Yuanzhao.

"Let her go, silly girl is like this. ”

It is said that Mo Yiyi left the house and walked aimlessly in the village, walking and walking, and most of his anger disappeared.

After a while, I walked to the head of the village.

She thought that she couldn't go back so quickly, so as not to continue to be laughed at, so she found a big stone and sat down cross-legged to recuperate her breath.

At noon, the sun is shining.

Shining on the body, it is warm and comfortable.

Mo Yiyi did not move like a bodhisattva statue, and he breathed to himself.

Dada!

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, getting closer and closer.

Mo Yiyi opened his eyes and looked carefully.

I saw a man riding a horse and entered Liujia Village.

The person on the horse was extraordinary, wearing a gray-black messenger suit, wearing a crown and hat, and carrying an official knife around his waist, obviously a messenger of the government.

Strange, what did the official errand do in this poor country?

Although Mo Yiyi was curious, he didn't think much about it, and continued to sit on the stone and cultivate.

After a while, the official errand rode back from Liujia Village on horseback.

Dada!

Then follow the main road to the north and disappear at the end of the road.

At this time, the sun is on the third pole.

The hour is getting late.

Mo Yiyi was so hungry that her stomach growled, so she simply went home.

I thought that everyone would sneer at me and make fun of it, but when I entered the courtyard, I found Liu Changping's family sitting in the house, not saying a word, and their faces were very ugly.

Li Yuanzhao stood outside the door, stood with his arms crossed, and when he saw Mo Yiyi coming back, he just nodded.

Obviously, the atmosphere is not right!

"Master, what happened?"

Mo Yiyi asked in a low voice.

Li Yuanzhao didn't answer, and pointed to the table.

Mo Yiyi entered the room and saw a piece of paper on the table.

The paper is exquisite, not ordinary, and it is printed with the official script.

The text is clearly written, Liujia Village needs to pay 50 stone of tax grain this year, three days later, the government sent someone to take it, if there is one stone less, according to the law of Dacang, the village chief will be arrested and imprisoned as a punishment.

No wonder the family is sad.

Liu Fugui is the village chief of Liujia Village, and if he fails to pay all the taxes and grain, he will have to go to prison.

"Alas, the government is too pressing," Liu Fugui clenched his fists and said hatefully, "This year's harvest is not good, we ourselves are not enough to eat and drink, and we are also charged so many taxes and grains, alas!"

"Yes, hand over the fifty stone tax grain, we have nothing to eat, and the people in the village will starve to death!"

Changping Niang also wiped her tears, "This is forcing us to death!"

Hearing this, Mo Yiyi slapped the table and shouted: "Don't worry, there is this girl here, when those officials come, this girl will clean up for you!"

"Girl in clothes, no!"

Liu Changping knew Mo Yiyi's temper and hurriedly stopped it.

"What are you afraid of, my master is also here," Mo Yiyi said, "Who is my master's opponent in the whole world!"

"Don't mess around," Li Yuanzhao walked into the house and reprimanded, "It's very easy to do it, but it's not the solution to the problem, and when we leave, the government will come back and retaliate even harder, what should we do?"

Mo Yiyi was speechless and frowned.

Although he understood the reason, he was still unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Simply, the government will be leveled!"

Li Yuanzhao glared at her, and Mo Yiyi shut up, knowing that he almost came out of his mouth.

After a hasty lunch, Liu Fugui hurriedly convened the villagers of Liujia Village to discuss the payment of taxes.

Mo Yiyi was curious and hid outside the window to eavesdrop.

In fact, there is nothing good to hear, the villagers discussed for a long time, each with their own opinions, but there was no good plan.

Speaking of which, there are only two choices, one is to hand over the fifty stone tax grain and starve yourself.

The second is to leave food, offend the government, and let Liu Fugui go to prison.

Some people think that they can't let the big guys starve to death, and the food must not be delivered.

Some people feel that they should not offend the government, let alone let the village chief go to jail.

The two sides quarreled until dark, but they did not discuss a result, so they had to give up.

Night.

The moon stars are scarce.

Mo Yiyi lay on the collapse, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he went to find Li Yuanzhao.

Li Yuanzhao is still meditating.

"Master!"

Li Yuanzhao opened his eyes slightly, had already guessed Mo Yiyi's purpose, and said, "Fool, do you want to help them?"

Mo Yiyi nodded, "Uncle is Brother Changping's father, I don't want Uncle to go to prison, besides, they are such good people, they should be rewarded, right?"

"Naive," Li Yuanzhao shook his head, "Good people have good rewards, it's just a lie, but it's okay to help them." ”

Mo Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Master, do you have a way?"

Li Yuanzhao seemed to have been prepared, his expression was calm, he reached out and untied the small white gourd on his waist, shook it gently, and flew out of the mouth of the gourd and landed in his hand.

If you look closely, it's a very small grain of wheat.
