I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 159 I am Wang Fa in this mid-mountain village
The girl's name is Chun Miao, and she lives in the east of the village. There is an old mother and an older brother at home.

When Lin Qian and the others arrived, his brother was working outside, and he didn't come back until dinner time when the sun was in the west.

"Speaking of which, that child Xiangzi is also a poor child!"

During the meal, the old woman sighed, "He went to Annan City to beg for a living when he was more than ten years old. He worked as a handyman and drove a cart for others. He sold the land of the family and finally saved a sum of money to buy a carriage. , I rented a horse, but after a few days of happy life, I was conscripted to deliver food and grass...

But he was still young, full of hope, and started saving money again, but this time, not long after, an official said that he was in collusion with the Wu clan and was a traitor, and took all his money away, so he let him go. he...

Later, he married the daughter of Mr. Liu, the owner of the carriage shop. Mr. Liu’s daughter bought him a carriage. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. She died of dystocia, so Xiangzi had to sell the carriage and bury her...

Xiangzi, who had nothing, returned to the village. His childhood sweetheart Xiaofuzi said he would live with him, but Xiaofuzi's family had an old alcoholic father and two younger brothers. Xiangzi couldn't support himself and didn't want to hurt others. Burning up hope, she returned to Annan City, planning to save some money and come back to marry Xiaofuzi.

Unfortunately, when he came back a few months later, Xiao Fuzi was already dead, committing suicide. In order to support the family, her father kept forcing her to sell her body.

After that, Xiangzi became what he is now, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling..."

The old woman said leisurely, seeming to empathize with them. Even a small misfortune may lead to the destruction of their families.

Lin Qian was silent. He has been in this world for so long, and he has already understood this big job. Some people are in heaven and some people are in hell!
This kind of world with extraordinary power, logically speaking, the productivity is not too bad, but it is a pity that none of these extraordinary powers are used on the common people. Are there still great scholars and semi-sages who are worried that they will not have enough to eat?

It's not that they don't care about the life and death of the people, they just don't even notice the problem.

"Why did he sell the land instead of farming it?" the eldest princess asked puzzled.

The old woman smiled and shook her head, "Even though farming won't kill you from hunger, you can't get enough to eat either. Xiangzi used to be a young man with dreams!"

The eldest princess frowned, "But I see that there are many beautiful houses in the village, so they should be living well, right?"

"of course!"

"Lizheng's family has [-] hectares of fertile land and pays the same tax as us, so can it be the same?"

The eldest princess was even more silent. She originally thought that Dagan would be peaceful with singing and dancing. She was used to the prosperity of Chang'an, and it was the first time she discovered that there were so many dirty sores in the hidden corners of Dagan.

She suddenly thought of Lin Qian's article on the Way of Heaven. Lin Qian's tax reform was not only about the distribution of taxes, but also included collecting taxes according to the amount of land property, not per head.

Now she can't wait to implement these decrees of Lin Qian immediately!

After staying at the old woman's house for one night, Lin Qian wanted to leave some money, but the old woman refused.

Not far from the village, he happened to meet a roe deer, so he had no choice but to wrong it and gave it as a gift to the old woman's family. A deer is still very valuable.

The old woman couldn't refuse, after all, Lin Qian couldn't carry a deer on his shoulders. The old woman could tell that Lin Qian was not someone who could carry a deer on his shoulders. As for the two delicate beauties, the eldest princess and Yong'an, Not to mention.

However, when Lin Qian left, Lizheng from the village came over and told Chunmiao that hunting also required paying taxes.

Without further ado, Chun Miao gave half of the Luzi to Lizheng, and Lizheng left contentedly.

The eldest princess was furious and wanted to speak out, but Lin Qian stopped her.

"Why stop me?"

The eldest princess glared at Lin Qian. These days, she had long been unhappy with Lin Qian, and now new and old hatred came to her heart. If Lin Qian didn't give her an explanation, she would be rude.

"We patted our butts and left, and they will continue to live here."

Lin Qian shook his head. It's really cool to show off for a while, but it depends on the occasion when you see an injustice, and you can't just focus on your own pleasure.

"Is there no king's law?"

The Eldest Princess shouted angrily, "We're leaving, and there are Daqian laws to protect them!"

Lin Qian shook his head. The eldest princess is indeed well-read, intelligent, ambitious, and ideal. Unfortunately, she is still too naive.

The quarrel between the two caught Lizheng's attention, and he glanced over here, "What's the matter? You are all dissatisfied with me for doing the law?"

"Which one of the laws of Dagan stipulates that the prey obtained by hunting must be taxed?"

The eldest princess took two steps forward. With her dual cultivation of Confucianism and martial arts, coupled with her domineering temperament cultivated in a high position for a long time, Li Zheng subconsciously took a few steps back. Then he realized that he was forced to retreat by a little girl, and his face was a little uncomfortable. , suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

"In this half-mountain village, I am Wang Fa. If I say that I have to pay taxes, I have to pay taxes. What are you, you dare to teach me how to do things?"

The eldest princess laughed back in anger, and pointed at Lin Qian, "Kill him for this palace!"

"Sorry, my sister is not normal here, please don't worry about it."

Lin Qian stepped forward to hold the eldest princess with a smile, pointed at the position of the head with his finger, and then pulled the eldest princess and Yong'an who was also about to say something, and left the village. Although this place is abominable, it is not yet here. To the point of killing him, Lin Qian didn't want to be troublesome.

Being held by Lin Qian's hand, the eldest princess felt her brain go blank for a moment. It was the first time she was held by a man at such a big age. It was not until she walked out of the village that she slowly came back to her senses and threw Lin Qian away. Qian's hand, "Bold, what are you going to do?"

"Since you keep saying that there are great laws to protect the people, why do you want to kill people on your own will?"

Lin Qian let go of his hand and asked a question that hit the soul.

The eldest princess opened her mouth and was speechless, "In that case, let's go to Annan and let the county magistrate take care of it!"

"We're not going to Annan today." Lin Qian shook his head.

"If we don't go to Annan, then where shall we go?"

"We're not going anywhere."

At this moment, a person suddenly ran over.

It was Xiangzi who cheated Lin Qian of money.

At this time, his eyes were black, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was staggering when he walked, and the wind that came with him smelled of alcohol. He must have been happy somewhere last night, and the broken silver should have been spent. Bar.

"I heard that Chun Miao and his family are going to be burned to death, so go and save them!"

Xiangzi's face is full of anxiety. Obviously, he and Chunmiao's family may have some stories that are not humane. Will be stopped by a weak woman in Chunmiao.

"what?"

The eldest princess was furious, and was about to find trouble with Li Zheng.

Lin Qian stopped her again.

"You've already thought about it, haven't you?"

This time, the eldest princess did not try to be brave, but instead thought of what Lin Qian said just now.
