Carefree Scholar

Chapter 180: Tax exemption

This familiar face was seen by the old man since he was a child. Li Yi didn’t put on the pretence of the county lieutenant. Li Jiacun is in the village. This gray-headed old man seems to have seen the old Li family baby again.
  The feeling of intimacy came back, and the fear in my heart no longer opened up.
   The old man stroked the beard of his chin, and his wrinkled face showed a memory of memories, “It’s still more than ten years ago, the night you were born…”
   The county office bookkeeper next to Li Yi saw the old man’s face drawn into memories and couldn’t help himself. The corners of his mouth twitched. Seeing the county lieutenant listen carefully, he closed his mouth with interest.
   At this time, the fear in the surrounding villagers of Lijia Village gradually dissipated, and they slowly gathered around.
   “At that time, I often saw the county lieutenant sitting at the door reading.”
   “When I was a kid, I knew that Li…the county lieutenant must have something to do in the future!”
  ”Lord County Lieutenant, don’t you remember, that kid in my family fought with you when he was young and was beaten to death by me when I returned.”
  ”……”
   I don’t know when, the villagers lost their fear and began to talk verbally. However, the title of Li Yi is always the county lieutenant, and there is no more randomness before.
   From the messy information they revealed, Li Yi can also gradually sort out a lot of things.
   The original owner of the body grew up in this Li family village since he was a child. His mother died very early. After his father dragged him into his teens, he also passed away due to illness.
   The original master’s father was the only talent in the village. He repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations. He seemed to be discouraged. He placed all hopes on the next generation and taught him strictly according to the standards of a scholar since he was a child. Li Yi has become the only heterogeneous among children of the same age who can read and hyphenate.
   Later Li Xiucai passed away due to illness. The villagers helped take care of the several acres of Susaka fields in the family. On weekdays, every household would take turns to help him.
   This is also because Li Xiucai is the only scholar in the village. Whoever needs to write a letter in the village is written by him. The new daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and she would probably ask him for help when naming her. But I also remember his love and care for the child a lot.
   Of course, the Li family’s enthusiasm for studying is also a big reason. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of seventeen, which would be regarded as a face to the village chief of the Li family. If he can be elected by the court in the future, he will be appointed by the court. The people inside can stand up straight when they talk to others.
   However, this idea was completely shattered in the first few months.
  , the Li family’s child who had placed hopes in the village, was inexplicably suffering from madness. After running out of the stockade, he never came back, and even the officials were not found.
  The old man originally planned to wait until the beginning of next year. If he has not returned, he will go to the government to report his disappearance and cancel his household registration…
  Who would have thought that when he appeared in the village again, he changed his body and turned into a county lieutenant. The villagers in Lijia Village were surprised and happy, including the old man in the village.
   County lieutenant, the lieutenant who is in charge of dozens of villages in Anxi County walked out of their Lijia Village!
  With this huge backing, I won’t be afraid of being bullied by other villages in the future. If something happens, there will be people in the county office who can speak up, and some villagers’ hearts are already floating.
   Watching the villagers chattering about for about an hour, the bookkeeper’s feet were numb when he was standing there, but seeing the county lieutenant still listening patiently, he could only secretly cry in his heart.
   Li Yi listened patiently, but he was a little strange in his heart.
   In the traversing novel I read before, after XX travels to ancient times, he will always have a headache, and then he can get all the memories of the original owner of the body. When he is here, this law obviously does not apply. Li Yi except for Lijiacun And apart from the inexplicable intimacy of these villagers, they can’t even remember their names.
   However, people in this era are still very foolish. One reason for amnesia can be used to prevaricate the past, but it saves him a lot of trouble.
   I remembered the situation of waking up in that house. I don’t know what happened to the original owner of the body. When I woke up, he replaced the body inexplicably, thinking about it carefully, I was afraid that it might be starved to death. Sex is bigger.
   After all, the disaster year has just passed. The situation here is better than that of Liuye Village, but everyone’s life must be tight. Even if starving, a scholar who only knows how to read books should not take the initiative to go. Please…
   “My child, last year was a terrible drought, and there was not much food in the field. This tax…” As if thinking of something, the old man looked embarrassed, and he stopped talking while watching him.
   The fields in Lijia Village were all owned by the state before. At a fixed time each year, the government would send people to collect taxes. But today, Zi Renming is sympathetic to several prefectures suffering from drought and exempts them from paying taxes for two years. Keeping food at home makes life easy.
   But now that your Majesty has given these lands to others, there is no need to pay taxes to the government anymore, and the exemption of taxes is of course useless.
   Li Yi knew what the old man wanted to say, and smiled: “Through the care of Uncle Li and you all these years, the kid didn’t want to report it. I don’t need to mention tax matters anymore.”
   The bookkeeper was startled when he heard the words, Li Xianli…Is this not going to collect taxes?
   This is a hundred acres of fertile land, and there is a lot of tax every year~ IndoMTL.com~ Li Xianli said, if you don’t want it, don’t you?
  ”How did this happen!” The old man was also surprised when he heard the words. He just wanted Li Yi to understand the disaster, reduce some land taxes or postpone the collection, but he did not expect to exempt the tax casually, that is, in the future. All of the output goes to the farmers who plant the land?
   “How can’t it be done? If it wasn’t for the folks who have been helping me, and there is no Li Yi today, Uncle Li needn’t say more, this is the case.”
   Although a hundred acres of land is quite a lot, the food output is far less than that of later generations. Nowadays, relying on the business of Ruyilu and spirits, and the daily income is rolling in, these land taxes are nothing.
  Of course, the villagers of Lijia Village are kind to the original owner of the body. If he hadn’t grown up in Lijia Village, he would certainly not be so generous.
   learned that there will be no more taxes in the future. After the villagers in Lijia Village were shocked, the expression on their faces turned into ecstasy. Had it not been for Li Yi, they would have bowed their heads and bowed.
  …………
   After coming out of Lijiacun, Li Yi obviously felt relieved in his heart.
   may be because of this body. Even though his soul comes from another time and space and has nothing to do with this place, the inexplicable familiarity and intimacy are constantly separated, within the scope of his ability, for What these people do can give me some comfort.
