After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 68 Have made meritorious service on the battlefield?
"Big Bear, I can do it!"

Without waiting for the village chief to show off, Lu Xingwang came up to him first, and said, "I am willing to go, Brother Big Bear, what do you think of my physique? Although I can't hunt tigers, I have experience in hunting in the mountains."

The village head glared at him and said, "What's the hurry! What does it look like! Stand aside!"

Lu Xingwang laughed twice, although he didn't speak anymore, but his eyes wished to stick to Lu Daxiong's body, for fear that he would look down on him again.

Lu Daxiong said sincerely: "Village Chief, I really don't have too many places right now. Xingwang is prudent, and his age is suitable. If you have no other arrangements, you can consider letting him go to the town with me as an errand. In addition , I still have a place here, I thought it was for San Bao, but I couldn't make up my mind, so I came here to ask you to help me with the details."

The village chief nodded. It is a good thing that Lu Daxiong is still thinking about his own brother!
"The house at Sanbao's place has almost been built. Basically, it's about to be finished. If you want to give him a place, of course I won't say anything. You are brothers from the beginning. And the child Sanbao is also considered to be my elder brother. The big one is honest, has strength, and is never stage frightened at critical moments, so he is qualified to follow you because of this."

"If you think so highly of him, it means he's pretty good."

"You can make up your own mind about this matter, but if it is really decided to let San Bao go, you have to figure out how to talk to that side. If you find it inconvenient, I can also help you out. .”

The village head was actually willing to let Lu Daxiong go by himself. After all, it was a matter of showing his face, and it would allow Lu Erzhu's family to remember Daxiong's favor.

"Don't be in a hurry. I'll go to the county tomorrow. After I get the official document, it won't be too late to mention it. By the way, if Xingwang enters the inspection department, I plan to let him be a superintendent. , is to manage ten or eight people, and I will try to arrange some people from our town for him when the time comes."

What Lu Daxiong meant was that the people in his town were relatively easy to manage.

The village head naturally understood this truth, and thanked him again and again.

After Lu Daxiong left, the village chief praised him again and again: "Unexpectedly, there is such a character as Daxiong in our village! What about those talented masters? They are just weak scholars, but our Daxiong is right." A person who can be the master."

Lu Xingwang also said immediately: "Yes, Brother Big Bear can do great things at first glance, and he also retreated from the border. I heard that he killed a lot of enemies. If he can be valued by the county magistrate, he should It’s also because of his meritorious service at the border.”

The village head raised his eyebrows, "Who did you hear that from?"

Lu Xingwang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had said something wrong, and quickly made up for it: "When I went to my aunt's house to get wine, I heard what my uncle said. My uncle made friends with Hu Cao in the county, and said that he heard the name of Brother Big Bear. It's registered with the county magistrate."

"Registration? What does that mean?"

"I heard that someone from above told us that this Lu Daxiong was brave in fighting at the border, and he is a talent to be made. Let the county do not make things difficult. Moreover, I heard that Lu Daxiong's family will be exempted from agricultural tax and Yao tax!"

"This is real?"

It would be a great thing if the tax could be exempted completely.

Even if it is a scholar, there is a limit to the amount of land that can be exempted from taxes every year, and the gentleman has to take the county exam every year in order to maintain his dignity. If he fails the exam, the tax exemption will be for naught.

"It is said that someone intends to promote Lu Daxiong, but he is unwilling and insists on returning, so he traded his share of credit for the benefits of tax exemption for his family."

For a while, the village chief was a little uncertain about the truth of this matter.

If it's true, why hasn't Lu Daxiong mentioned it since he came back?

Moreover, Lu Laohan also paid half of the previous summer tax. I didn't see the poor man saying that he would exempt his family's tax!

The autumn tax was also collected last month. At that time, he didn't notice that Lu Laohan went to pay the tax. Could it be that the autumn tax was only reduced or exempted?
In fact, this matter is a bit oolong to say the least.

Lu Daxiong originally thought that he could reduce and exempt half of the tax. During the summer tax, he still collected it like this.

It's just that before the autumn tax was collected, he had already entered the inspection department, and then he was called by the county magistrate to ask a few words, and then he was told that the land under his name would no longer have to pay taxes, and his family members would also be exempted from paying taxes. Yao service.

At that time, Lu Daxiong was also fascinated, with a puzzled look on his face.

The county magistrate only said that the county would give certain compensation to the veterans who killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield every year, and Lu Daxiong naturally believed the county magistrate's words.

In fact, he really has only a half-knowledge of how the agricultural tax and Yao labor are exempted.

But the gossip that Lu Xingwang got was actually true.

The county does have such a policy, but under normal circumstances, the number of places is limited, and such a good thing, how could it be Lu Daxiong who has no background?

In the end, it was his former Shangfeng who wrote a letter to Gaoyang County Magistrate, and the matter was considered settled.

It's just that the other party repeatedly stated in the letter not to mention him, so the county magistrate used the county's policy as an excuse to prevaricate Lu Daxiong.

It's just that how the Hucao learned about this matter is puzzling.

Lu Daxiong didn't know about this at all, so naturally he didn't think too much about it.

And the village chief prepared a small gift the next day and went to his brother-in-law's house in person.

The official document of the county was officially issued, and Lu Daxiong was officially appointed as the inspection envoy of the inspection department of Qingshui Town, and the yamen is also ready-made in the town, which is an old house decades ago, used by the pavilion chiefs in the past .

The first thing Lu Daxiong did when he took office was to visit the yamen first, and then he found Liu Dazhuang to discuss the repair of the yamen.

So, as a matter of course, Liu Dazhuang took on another big job.

It will probably last until winter.

The county allocated 200 taels for repairs, and gave Lu Daxiong some authority. For example, he could recruit a gatekeeper in the yamen, and an additional handyman.

It's just that this month's money is quite low, not even half of the official errand.

Even so, when he heard the news, the village head was still so happy that he jumped up.

No matter how little this month's money is, it's better than doing nothing in the countryside!

Besides, if you can give ten Wen a day, it will be three hundred Wen in a month, which is a lot!

Once Lu Daxiong and the village chief made a plan, the candidate was decided.

As a result, Lu Daxiong didn't leave the gate of the village chief's house, and the old lady Lu came over crying and howling.
