Farmhouse blessing girl has space

Chapter 1720
Not long after, Lu Heng was still worried about the little girl. After picking a bag full of wild fruits, he rushed down the mountain quickly.

Fortunately, the little girl hasn't woken up yet.Lu Heng leaned on the carriage and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Xiang Lingqi looked at these wild fruits and was really elated.After pregnancy, I wanted to eat a little sour food, but I didn't mention it because I was always afraid of annoying others.Unexpectedly, Lu Heng went to find the fruit overnight.

The carriage arrived at the nearby town smoothly all the way, but when it was approaching the town, the sky had already darkened, so even just after noon, a group of people had to stop and live in the inn in the town.

Not long after, heavy rain poured down. Judging by the posture, it seemed that it would not stop for several days and nights.

The rainy weather made people even more upset. Even with Lu Heng busy up and down beside him, Xiang Lingqi couldn't help but feel bored.

It seemed that many of these guests in the inn were trapped in place by the heavy rain, and the owner of the inn was also a little worried.

Xiang Lingqi was sitting on the table by the window, eating and looking at the passers-by below. It takes courage to go out in such weather. Fortunately, there is no big river in this area, otherwise such a The torrential rain washes away, and I am afraid that the danger of bursting the embankment is very high.

The owner of the inn frowned and hid in the corner and said: "Hey, this damn weather. Although my business here is good, but if this trouble continues, those fields in the countryside will lose everything!"

That's right, before you know it, it's time for the autumn harvest. Dachu is dominated by rice fields, and now it's the time for millet sizing. At this time, the heavy rain does not stop, and the yield of millet will of course be affected.

King Xiaoyao has always paid attention to people's livelihood, so he asked quickly after seeing this situation: "It is reasonable to say that Dachu's fields have a high yield, even if there is a bad harvest occasionally, life should not be difficult, not to mention that the shopkeeper is still there. With this inn, why worry so much?"

Seeing that the person who asked the question seemed to be an extraordinary person, the shopkeeper replied politely: "In recent years, the new county magistrate has suddenly increased a lot of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. Most of the rice harvested in the countryside has been brought into the county. Ya."

King Xiaoyao was a little displeased, and asked suspiciously: "The emperor of this dynasty has always been lenient, and the tax revenue is only one out of ten. How can there be more than half of them levying miscellaneous taxes? Could it be that the county magistrate is a corrupt official?"

The shopkeeper of the inn shrank his neck slightly, and then said cautiously: "The guest officer has to be more careful in what he says. If he offends the county magistrate, the life of the guest officer will be difficult, let alone my inn. down."

The shopkeeper thought for a while, walked over and said in a low voice: "Actually, in this town, who doesn't know that the county magistrate is a corrupt official? It's just that he has people above him, so no one dares to say anything more. The taxes he collected into the county government are actually We went to the biggest grain store in the county. Most of the ordinary people who farmed the fields down there could only keep enough rice for their own living."

"All the rice has gone into the county magistrate's grain shop, and he alone controls the county's grain transactions. If the harvest is not good this year, he will raise the price of the grain in the grain shop. This small county, Although it looks rich, there are actually quite a few people who buy and sell their daughters, all because of this evil."
