Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 674
After hearing this, Liu Heping understood what she wanted to do, but still disagreed.

"These vines can also be used to weave baskets and baskets. It is impossible for anyone to buy a lot of them and put them away. You have collected so many vines, I'm afraid it will be wasted!"

Qingluo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, I just want to trouble you to choose some people with good skills."

Liu Heping nodded: "This is not difficult."

He has been making things all his life, and he can tell at a glance whether other people's work is good or bad.

"Okay," Qingluo stood up and said with a smile, "it's not urgent. Also, I've discussed with Lizheng about the locust plague in the village. When the tax is paid after autumn, the village will be properly reduced. .”

"Can this work?"

Although Liu Heping was happy to be able to reduce taxes, he also knew that the county magistrate could not decide the amount of taxes arbitrarily.

Increasing taxes will be reviled by the people, and the people will be happy to reduce them, but what can the court do?
Liu Heping, who doesn't even know a single word, understands such a simple truth, but he doesn't believe that Qingluo can't understand it.

Qingluo smiled and said: "It's just a helpless solution. If everyone really can't get it out, that's the only way to do it. But things haven't reached this point yet, let's wait and see."

"If you have any difficulties and you still have some savings at home, I'll go back and let your mother..." Liu Heping paused, "Let Wen Quan's mother take it out."

Qingluo laughed, "What do you do with that? It's a serious matter to keep it for living, and the grain harvest this year is not good."

"Don't be afraid, there is still some food at home, and I can weave things to sell." Liu Heping said and stood up, "I see that you are busy here, so I won't waste your time, I will go back and find someone for you. "

"Okay, it doesn't matter what age you are or who you are, as long as you are dexterous. If any woman is willing to come, that would be even better."

In terms of manual work, after all, women are better.

Liu Heping nodded: "Understood, I'm leaving."

Qingluo watched him leave, and when she turned around, she saw Feng Yi running towards the Yamen, panting.

Huang Baotou stepped forward and gave him a mallet: "Master told you to collect rattan in Shahe Village, why did you come back? Do you deserve a beating?"

"No, no!" Feng Yi blushed, "My lord, the villagers in those villages in Shahe Village are all crazy..."

"Crazy...?" Captain Huang was stunned, "Could it be that there is some disease from them? My lord, should we go out and hide?"

"Get out of your way!" Qingluo glared at him, looked at Feng Yi, and asked, "What's going on, explain it clearly!"

Feng Yi wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and then said slowly: "Didn't your lord let us stay to collect the rattan, my brother and I just squatted there waiting for someone to come, but no one came after waiting for a long time, brother In a hurry, I asked what was going on, why no one came to deliver the vines. As a result, they said that the people in Xiahe Village said that the yamen was messing around, and it was impossible to give money, just to coax them to clean up the vines Come. As a result, those people listened to his words, and no one came!!"

"What, this damn bastard! You don't even listen to the magistrate?" Huang Catcher was furious, "I'm going to find that Li Zheng, I have to teach them a lesson!"

"Hey, Boss, don't worry!" Feng Yi grabbed him, "I haven't finished talking yet!"

Qingluo: "You speak first."

Feng Yi hurriedly said: "My lord. Thank you for being wise and keeping me here. If only my brother's log is left there, this matter will be in vain!"

Huang Butou scolded: "You kid, if you don't boast about yourself for a day, you will be suffocated to death!"

"Hey, it's the truth!" Feng Yi didn't feel ashamed at all, but was very proud, "I can't see it this way. If this continues, what should I do with my lord's mission?"

Huang Butou squinted at him: "So?"

"So I secretly found a loud voice in the village, and gave her some money to sell a bundle of canes. Many people had to see it." Feng Yi patted his thigh, "Guess what happened? As soon as that loud voice yelled, the villagers saw it, hey, the yamen really gave money. Isn’t this crazy, the bundles of rattan almost drowned us!”

Huang Butou: "Look, I've given you a fright, so what are you doing running back? Just to show off and ask for credit from the adults?"

"This is only one aspect." Feng Yi showed a very serious expression, "The most important thing is that I come back to get things..."

"Take what?"

Feng Yi stretched out his hand: "Silver!"

"What did you say?" Huang Butou's voice suddenly rose, and he stared at his big eyes, "My lord left you more than 100 taels of silver before he left, so it's all gone?"

Feng Yi nodded: "Yes, it's gone!"

"Stinky boy, are you greedy in private?" Huang Butou didn't believe it, "It's only ten cents for a hundred catties. Do you know how much catty is enough for 100 taels?"

"I'm wronged, boss, even if you don't believe me, you still believe in my brother's wood, right? The money and the weight are all passed through his hands, so there can be no fault." Feng Yi rubbed his arms complaining, "Aren't you You know, those canes are too heavy! I can't even lift my arms!"

Qingluo was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and raised her eyes to look at him when she heard this: "I'm afraid, your arms still have to work hard."

"What do you mean, my lord?"

Qing Luo smiled and said: "I remember I said, let them peel off the leaves and skins of the cut vines, and then dry them before selling them. You collected so much today, will they have time to dry them?" ?”

"Ah?" Feng Yi was stunned for a long time, then reacted suddenly, and slapped his forehead, "It's broken! I forgot about it, and they just brought the vines that were just cut, not the wet weight Heavy?"

Huang Butou was so angry that he wanted to beat him up: "Stinky boy! Do you know how much money you will lose if you do this?"

Feng Yi was about to cry: "I, I'll go back and ask them to return the money!"

"Forget it." Qingluo waved her hand, "Let's just accept this batch, they finally believed it, and it would be a troublesome thing to return it. Next time you accept it, you have to strictly follow the standards I said, Do you remember?"

Feng Yi: "Even if I don't remember my surname this time, I still have to remember what your lord said!"

Qingluo raised her eyebrows: "Don't think that you made a mistake and let it go so easily."

Feng Yi wept and said with a mournful face: "If you want to fight or kill, the subordinates will do as you please."

"It's not that serious." Qing Luo curled up her lips, showing a smirk on her face, "You collected so many wet rattans, you can't put them there to cover them. Take the time to dry them and put them away."

"I... drying alone?" Feng Yi was so frightened that his heart broke out in sweat when he thought of the pile of rattan like a hill.

Qing Luo drank tea: "Of course you're not alone."

"Ah, that's good, that's good..." Feng Yi patted his chest in fear.
