Chapter 1645 Summer Harvest in Luxi Village ([-])

"I'm careless. I didn't expect a group of women to know how much land each of our families actually holds." Patriarch Jiang finally turned back to the chair and sat down.

"Yeah, how did they do it? They stole our account book?" Patriarch Jin was puzzled.

"It's very possible." Patriarch Jiang's eyes lit up.

"What could it be? We don't remember the contents of those old ledgers. If they want to steal the ledgers, they can't steal them all and check them slowly? Is anyone in our three families stolen?" Patriarch Zhang thinks this speculation is a joke.

"That's right." The two patriarchs, Jin Jiang, suddenly became depressed again.

"Don't worry about how they got our account books, let's think about how to deal with the tax collection of the yamen. We are not the kind of people who can see the sky." The only one who can turn his mind normally is Zhang Patriarch.

"I have to spend so much money to pay taxes, I feel distressed." Patriarch Jiang covered his heart. He just saw Jieyuhua in Dong'an Mansion not long ago, and spent a lot of money on her, which made the mother-in-law dissatisfied.

"Then what else? The only solution for now is to cut the mess quickly, pay the summer tax first, and pray that the government will not pursue the tax owed in previous years, otherwise the three of us will not be able to pay back the property if we sell out." The patriarch Zhang boldly made the worst plan .

Most of the taxes and money that the three of them evaded in the past were spent on eating, drinking and having fun. I don’t know how many times they went to Dong’an Mansion to enjoy the joy of selling gold. The things that can be seen are preserved, and once the yamen makes a real move, it will be the turn of the three families to be ruined.

"Don't stay here anymore, go home quickly and find out how much money you can spend. First close the yamen, and then find friends to see if you can stop here. Otherwise, you can collect taxes like this twice a year. Even if we have mountains of gold and silver, we won’t be able to collect enough.” Now patriarch Zhang sees everything that annoys him.

The two patriarchs Jin Jiang also knew that it was not good to be disturbed here for a long time, so they left with a sigh and went home.

At this time, the villagers had already sent the yamen servants on their way back, and everyone dispersed, many of them were still pondering over what the assistant housekeeper had said earlier.

Owner farmers are the foundation of the country, but now even the officials do not protect them. This is rebellion.

These words are too scary, but the villagers who have not read the book instinctively feel that these words are correct.

It seemed that everything in Luxi Village was normal that day, but God knows how many people tossed and turned at night.

Qi Ke, who was staying in Liangshui Town, also quietly appeared in the county Maternity and Infant Hall overnight, pretending to be here for several days, ready to support Luxi Village at any time.

The purpose of this is naturally to cover up her knowledge of the situation in Luxi Village, otherwise, if she is sitting in Liangshui Town and receiving news, if any news from here reaches her, the day lily will be cold.

It was getting dark late in summer, and the yamen servants from Luxi Village returned to the yamen when it was getting dark, brought back the tax money for this time, and urgently reported the details to the county lord, without delaying until the next day.

Twice a year when taxes are collected, magistrates will work until late at night. In addition to settling accounts, they still have to learn about the situation from the yamen servants who have returned from tax collection.

The situation in Luxi Village caused the County Lord a great headache, as long as he was involved with Qi Ke, he had a headache, but Qi Zhuang did point out a good thing, and the tax money of the three landlords was collected, and the tax money of Luxi Village was enough Yes, if he can recover the tax owed in previous years, it will add luster to his political achievements.
