Chapter 1000

That day, Bai Jingwen was about to go out. As soon as she walked to the outer courtyard, she saw several men of different ages walking in under the leadership of Uncle Sun.

"I've met the county magistrate." Under Uncle Sun's signal, several people hurried forward to salute.

"Come on, everyone please." After Bai Jingwen finished speaking, she turned around and led them into the living room.

Then she said to Fu Rong who was following her, "Go and make a few cups of good tea."

Fu Rong clicked right, then checked the number of people, turned around and walked out.

"Let's just introduce yourself, let's talk about something." Bai Jingwen sat down at the top, glanced at the few people, and found that she didn't recognize any of them, she said with a slight frown.

"I am the Juren of Jingkang for 30 years, now," the oldest person, was interrupted by Bai Jingwen in the middle of his mouth, "I don't want to know the specifics, you just need to tell me whether your names are famous or not." , I have to go out urgently."

"My surname is Sun, and my name is Haoran. Now I have a great reputation." Seeing this, Sun Haoran said obediently, although he was a little dissatisfied.

"My name is Tian Zhimei, known as Tian Yuanwai." Immediately afterwards, the man sitting next to him said.

………………

After introducing several people one by one, Bai Jingwen felt familiar, and then thought of the brochure given to her by Hufang, and then understood their identities and guessed their purpose, but there were a few people with a little conscience missing. .

After hesitating for a moment, he looked up at them, and asked with a half-smile, "Why are there a few missing? Why didn't you come with you?"

"They can't come if they have something to do." Tian Zhimei replied with a smile.

He used to disdain those people and was afraid of Bai Jingwen's behavior, but now after seeing her eyes, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He was really afraid of getting anxious, so he kicked himself too. He didn't want to end up with Zuifenglou Like an old mother, that would really be worse than death.

"Ming people don't talk dark words. You guys came here to measure the land, right?" Bai Jingwen sneered when she saw the panic flashing in his eyes, and asked directly at them.

"That's right, it's reasonable to check the household registration of the servant before. We did something wrong and should be punished, but the land can't be moved casually.

Besides, now is the time for the earing of wheat, and a large number of people walk through the fields, which will spoil the crops. They are our roots and cannot be easily spoiled. "Sun Haoran said with a dignified look.

"Oh, so you agree, measuring the land is just for fear of ruining the crops?" Bai Jingwen asked with a smile.

Then he stood up and said, "That's easy to say. After the wheat is harvested, I'll send someone to measure the fields under your name. When the time comes, you can directly pay taxes according to the measured acres."

After a pause, he said with a smile on his face: "For such a small matter, you need to gather together specially and take a trip. Anyway, it is impossible to measure all of it in a short time. Tell the householder and report it. That's it.

I am here to thank you for your strong support, but I have too many things on hand now, and I really have to go out soon, so I will excuse you. "

After Bai Jingwen finished speaking, she wanted to go outside.

"Wait." Sun Haoran yelled with a wry smile, he never thought that Bai Jingwen would pretend to be ignorant while pretending to be ignorant, and set him up justly.

"Oh, is there anything else?" Bai Jingwen stopped and turned around and asked with a smile.

"What I mean is, we've been planting that land for so many years, and we pay tax by the acre every year, so we need to measure it now." Sun Haoran said with a serious face.

Because he knew that Bai Jingwen would never let go, even if he knew that the one who spoke first would be at a disadvantage, he had no choice.
