After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 33 A low-key servant

Xu Boan has been in the civil engineering industry for more than ten years.

He started as a line surveyor in the engineering department and became the top project manager of a multi-billion-dollar project at his peak.

Not only does he have excellent technical support, but he is also very proficient in all kinds of interpersonal communication and dealing with people.

Therefore, Xu Bo'an is also not familiar with things that are often given as gifts, such as tobacco, wine, tea, gold, stone, and jade.

Without him, these things are easy to carry and can be converted into cash. They are actually a powerful tool for building relationships with friends.

Therefore, Xu Boan recognized it at a glance. The green piece in his hand was jade, and it was the best among them, imperial green!

Xu Boan clearly remembers that at the auction where he auctioned Thuja root carvings two days ago, a Buddhist amulet made of imperial green jade sold for 130 million.

That Buddha amulet is only half the size of the one in my hand, but it can be sold for more than 100 million.

In other words, the value of the brand in Xu Boan's hands is at least 200 million.

……

Xu Bo'an was still immersed in the joy of picking up a huge sum of money here. Among the little people in the bonsai, someone finally broke the peace.

"Jiao...Jiao...Old Boss Jiao, what happened just now?"

The officer looked at the surrounding villagers with some horror, feeling as if he was dreaming.

His arms suddenly tightened, and then his whole body suddenly rose into the air, and then suddenly fell down.

In the blink of an eye, he actually flew across a distance of nearly a hundred feet.

The villagers who were still peeping and monitoring these migrating villagers from a distance suddenly fell directly into the circle of villagers.

Come on, is there anything more embarrassing than stalking someone, only to be discovered and surrounded by the person being followed?
The most important thing is that with the majesty of the official officers, the two officers never looked arrogant when walking on the street.

From yesterday to today, I walked all day on the mountain roads and suffered mosquito bites all night. Today, I walked through the mountains and forests early in the morning. I felt a lot sluggish. I could hardly hold the knife in my hand. Moved.

What they faced were dozens of doubtful and wary villagers. Although these villagers were ragged and disheveled, they were full of energy.

There were even a few villagers holding several bright silver guns with cold light, making them look majestic and giving off a chilling aura.

Are these guys planning to rebel?Otherwise, why would there be so many bright silver guns!
You must know that concealing weapons secretly is a serious crime. It is impossible for people in the backing village not to know!

Thinking of this, Lao Jiao shivered for no reason.

When government officials face rebels and thieves, they are natural enemies. How can they have any psychological superiority?
At this moment, Lao Jiao couldn't care less about replying. He was confused and frightened, and he was only thinking about how to deal with this scene.

But after thinking about it, I really don't know how to speak and solve the situation in front of me.

However, Li Kanshan had some knowledge, so he handed over his hands and asked politely: "You two...are you the adults in the county government?"

This is not to blame the villagers for not recognizing the government officials. If they were all wearing neat uniforms, people would be able to recognize the officials.But now these two officers had been walking through the mountains and forests for a long time. In order to dissipate heat during the journey, they took off their shirts and tied them around their waists. Their mental state was extremely vicissitudes, and they looked like refugees fleeing a famine!
Who can believe that these two refugee-looking guys in front of them are actually the usually majestic government servants!

Seeing that Li Kanshan was being polite, Lao Jiao felt relieved.Trying to calm down his anxious mood, he pretended to be calm and said: "We are the servants of the Shanyang County Yamen King, and we have been ordered to collect taxes and grains."

The policeman on the side also nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we are the ones who are arrested by Wang. This is our waist card...waist...waist..."

The guard was touching his waist and exclaimed: "Where is my waistband?"

Although losing your waistband is not a serious crime, applying for a new one is very troublesome.

It’s not that it’s troublesome, it’s mainly that it costs money!

In the past few years, most of Qingyun Road has suffered from severe drought, and various financial funds are really insufficient. Even serious officials have difficulty distributing their salaries in full and on time.

Not to mention temporary workers such as Lao Jiao and others.It would be nice to have some money and food to ensure life.

Therefore, no one has to worry about money.

Lao Jiao frowned and looked at his companion, saying, "Oh no, did I accidentally drop it on the way here?"

The guard's face was so ugly that he almost cried, and his face was full of sadness: "Old Jiao, what's wrong with this? It costs fifty copper coins to replace each waist card!"

Lao Jiao couldn't help with this kind of thing. After all, Lao Jiao didn't have any money left.

As a colleague, Lao Jiao could only comfort him: "Okay, okay, don't be sad now. When we go back later, we will look for it carefully on the road. Maybe we can still find it."

While speaking, Lao Jiao took off the badge from his waist and slowly showed it to the villagers who gathered around him.

That posture was as gentle as it could be, and it was completely different from the usual ferocious posture that would immediately take someone's hand with a flick of the wrist.

"Fellows, we brothers are servants of our Shanyang City Yamen. We came here to disturb you because we received orders from above to collect taxes!"

As he spoke, Lao Jiao sighed heavily, pretending to be reluctant, and continued: "Well, in fact, I also know that all the villagers are living in poverty. After all, there has been drought for many years, and there is no food left. How can we help the people above? I urged you so hard that I disturbed the fellow villagers. I'm really sorry!"

I have to say that when people reach middle age, they really become more and more aware of current affairs and adaptable.

Originally, Lao Jiao was thinking of using this opportunity to blackmail Kaishan Village into a sum of money so that he could make a fortune.

But now, looking at a group of energetic villagers opposite with bright silver guns and experiencing the inexplicable soaring clouds and fog just now, Lao Jiao was already frightened.

It’s just a matter of subsistence, you can’t risk your life again!
As a result, not to mention how polite Lao Jiao was, his gentle, low-key and humble appearance was simply unheard and unseen by the villagers.

Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention the villagers' fear of officialdom is engraved in their bones.

Li Kanshan responded politely immediately: "Sir, the untouchable is the village chief of the mountain village, Li Kanshan. The matter of taxation and grain is easy to talk about, and the villagers will definitely cooperate. The two adults have been tired of traveling and traveling, and the journey has been dusty. If you are tired, please ask the two adults to take a seat and have a bowl of warm bacon braised noodles, and I will ask someone to prepare the tax."

It was originally a warm and polite invitation, but in the ears of Lao Jiao and the two, it was like being struck by lightning.
