Farmhouse blessing girl has space

Chapter 665

Xiang Lingqi said lightly: "Even if the tax has increased, it's not so outrageous!"

Before the woman opened her mouth, the girl beside her replied with a sideways voice: "Ma'am, I don't know! Originally, we only had to pay taxes on fertile land! The prefect asked us to pay taxes on dry land too! And within a month, the tax has increased. More than three times!"

"You can't grow rice on dry land, so you can barely grow some vegetables! But you have to pay the same tax as the land planted with rice! Vegetables cost two cents a catty, and I'm afraid we farmers will starve to death!"

The woman was afraid that her daughter would offend the nobleman, so she reached out and hugged her in her arms, and said in a low voice: "Our suburbs of Yancheng are not bad. I heard that in some villages far away, because of flooding, this season's rice crops are considered to be good. Ruined! Their life will be even more difficult!"

Xiang Lingqi had lost interest in continuing to ask, so he handed a tael of silver to the woman, and ordered him to deliver the vegetables to the Lu family's yard, and left.

Xiang Lingqi boldly looked at the emperor: "My lord, what did you read about Yancheng in Huang Zhifu's letter?"

The emperor did not blame Xiang Lingqi for his boldness, but said coldly: "The letter said that Yancheng is rich and rich in taxes! It is said that in Yancheng, every family lives and works in peace and contentment!"

Xiang Lingqi paused before continuing: "Master, in fact, if I take you to the street on the east side, what you will see will definitely be very prosperous! That street is where the rich and old men come and go, My Liuhuafang is also open there!"

"It's just my lord, most of the rich and old people are in business! And the real foundation of the country is the poor people who are farming in West Street! But this is the foundation of the country. If they can't survive, then the foundation of the country will be Ruined! Even a woman like me can understand the truth, but Huang Zhifu doesn't understand it!"

The emperor's face finally softened a little. After all, he didn't accuse his officials of corruption, but just said that they were ignorant!

"When I go back this time, I will naturally rectify it! I will go to the prefect's mansion today and abolish the prefect's mansion!"

Xiang Lingqi quickly reached out her hand to stop her, if she went to see Huang Zhifu at this time, her plan would be over.

"Your Majesty! The prefect Huang's matter is not urgent for now! You just came to Yancheng, and what you saw was too one-sided! You might as well wait for the activities of Liuhuafang to pass, take a comprehensive look at the matter, and settle the score again!"

The emperor immediately became upset again: "According to what you said, prefect Huang has done other illegal things?"

Xiang Lingqi nodded, and said lightly: "My one-sided words, the emperor will not believe it! But when you see it with your own eyes, you won't feel that the daughter of the people has ulterior motives!"

"In fact, the malice of the people's daughter towards His Highness the Crown Prince also originated from the Huang Zhifu! I heard that the Huang Zhifu has a daughter who is now in the Prince's residence. The people's daughter is inevitably a little bit angry, and what she said has lost her fairness! This is still true. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After Xiang Lingqi finished speaking, she lowered her head frankly, not daring to look directly at the emperor!The emperor stood still for a while without speaking, then snorted coldly, turned around and started walking forward.

Xiang Lingqi had no choice but to follow, and then dutifully became a tour guide in front of the emperor!
Suddenly, a small shop on the side of the street attracted the emperor's attention!Seeing this, Xiang Lingqi smiled knowingly.

Nothing is wrong with this family and business is great!
