Chapter 1639 Summer Harvest in Luxi Village ([-])
People who have to pay taxes are all queuing outside, and those who go to sign contracts don't waste time. They sneak around the village and run to Qizhuang. Waiting in the long queue of taxes.

From time to time, at the gate of Qizhuang, there are still tenant farmers with their children who want to sell their children to Qizhuang for money. , so those villagers who sold their sons and daughters did not know the details at all.

When it was the villagers' turn to go in, it was another set of responses.

Since Qi Ke got the 550 mu of land in Luxi Village, it means that she has been involved here for several years. After setting up Qizhuang and sending maids to take care of the farmland, such a long period of time has a profound effect on the nature of each villager. Records, which people are honest and reliable and which ones should be kept at a respectful distance are all recorded in tables and categories.

Therefore, the villagers who bring their children to sell now have two different endings.

Villagers with bad character, the children they send are death contracts, and the younger they are, the more money they give, because children are ignorant and easy to educate, and older children will inevitably accumulate bad habits learned from their parents. There is a cost of corrective education in it.

Villagers with decent character don't even want to bring their children, but sign a contract of living with their young and strong family.

The number of fields under Qi Zhuang's name is not too much, but there are not too many people who sign it, and the unused ones can be sent to work in other places. Anyway, they are trying their best to dig the corner of the landlord's house.

As more and more villagers borrowed money, the atmosphere in the queue began to be polarized. The first half of the team was crying and pleading, while the second half of the team was chatting and laughing, which was quite hateful.

More and more people were tied to the tree for public display, and finally, it was the turn of the villagers who lined up easily behind.

The yamen servants are not stupid. The other party's expression shows that they have borrowed money, so they started to find all the reasons to take out their money bags just like yesterday.

These villagers also learned from yesterday's lesson, they only brought enough money to pay taxes and a little extra money, and they emptied their wallets in front of the yamen servants.

But the yamen servants are sharp-eyed, judging from the other party's expression that there is still money in the family. Although they don't know what method they used, they must have borrowed a lot from Qizhuang, so the name of the money is open to come, and the firewood is cut every day. The firewood tax in the mountains, the oil and salt are all bought from the peddler, and the peddler must have evaded tax, so the villagers have to pay it back, and the agricultural tools used are all iron tools, and they have to pay the iron tax.

In short, they are all unheard-of names. Judging from the expressions of the villagers, it is clear that they have never paid such taxes before, but the yamen servants are very proficient in opening their mouths. It is obvious that they have succeeded in other villages.

The villagers were furious, and the people behind the row also started arguing, accusing the government servants of raising taxes indiscriminately.

The yamen servants also had a bad temper. Seeing the villagers resisting, they got up and copied their knives one after another.

"What are you doing? Are you so bold that you want to resist the tax? I told you that the death penalty for resisting the tax, did you hear me?!"

"If you dare to quarrel again, I will chop you off on the spot!"

"The poor man is so majestic!" The deputy housekeeper suddenly appeared with a maid holding a crossbow. The tax payment scene was chaotic, and no one found out when the people from Qizhuang came.

"What are you trying to do? I warn you not to mess around!"

The yamen servant had the guts to shout fiercely at the villagers. Seeing the people in Qizhuang, they immediately remembered the fear of being dominated by Qi Ke's force, and their faces and voices changed immediately.
