Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

The Qin people were bold and direct. Most tenant tenants who received the news in the evening rushed to the main house to thank the owner, and families with children often brought chickens.

Ling Qingyu smiled back so that his face was numb, moved by the enthusiasm of the locals, he insisted on holding on until the last family left.

Returning to the main house, Ling Qingyu slowly flipped through the ledger, thinking that if the tax increase continued like this, he would not be able to carry so many fields so hard.

"The head of the house." Han Yan shouted twice and saw that she was still wandering away from the sky. He raised his voice and shouted again.

"Huh?" Ling Qingyu came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I was distracted just now, where did you go?"

"What do you want?" Han Nian asked.

"I'm thinking, we have so many fields, and it's not a problem to always carry it so hard. Since the court has started to increase taxes, it seems to be tasted of sweetness. It will only get heavier and heavier. "Ling Qingyu said.

Han Yan nodded, and silently said, "Should we also find someone to depend on?" Attaching to Jinshi or someone with honors can get rid of most of the taxes.

Ling Qingyu shook his head slightly and said: "Our amount is too big, and many of them are connected together, I am afraid that no one dares to take it."

"The head of the house, General Yang's subordinates all have official positions, and they are also included in the tax exemption list." Han Yan said.

"The fields on Hedong Road can be hung under their names, but there are still places in Wuhu, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. I'm afraid it won't be easy." Ling Qingyu shook his head and said, "And I am not only worried about this. Generally speaking, Once the imperial court initiates a large-scale tax increase, it will not only be right, but also commercial tax.

"Commercial tax has been increased, but we are entering the middle school, some reductions and exemptions, and the tax collectors on the road have also been bought, and after calculating it, it has increased by 10%." Han Nian nodded.

"Now we are guilty of the Wang family. I'm afraid it won't be so easy going forward. We have to open another business to do this. Besides, the amount of spices coming this time is large, so be careful." Ling Qingyu said. Those commodities have huge profit margins, plus 10% is not a problem, I'm afraid this will become a bottomless pit by then. Humph, when the time comes, the wool will come out of the sheep. Anyway, only the upper class can afford to consume the treasures of spices. My mother increases the price!

Seeing Ling Qingyu rubbing his forehead, Han Mian said, "The master should take a rest first, this kind of thing can't happen for a while."

"Well, you have been tired all day, good night." Ling Qingyu nodded. Yes, these things can't come in a hurry, there is always a way to solve them.

On the third day, Ling Qingyu and Han Xian were looking at the frozen soil between the ridges, and the sound of hurried horses hooves sounded, raising a cloud of dust from the official road far away.

Ling Qingyu and Han Yan both stood up and looked at each other without realizing it, but Yan San and Ying Shisan were all on guard. They heard a lot of horseshoes, but they were uniform. This is a team of well-trained men and horses. Why come here? Wild land?

The speed of the horse team is very fast, as if they had already run to the front in the blink of an eye. The first two horses were strangled high and raised their front hooves in a galloping state. After the horses hooves landed, He Li's hearty voice called: "The owner. "

The other person is also an acquaintance, Takayanagi!

"It's good to be in charge." Gao Liu smiled lightly.

"What are you doing here?" Ling Qingyu asked stupidly. You are serving soldiers, is this considered a leave without permission?

"The general gave us some holidays. We won some rewards in the previous wars and wanted to buy some fields." Gao Liu smiled.

Ling Qingyu and Han Mian looked at each other, and Han Mian said in a low voice: "The field here is not purchased under the name of the Ling family."

Does that mean they will not be involved? Ling Qingyu's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It just so happens that I happen to have some fields to sell here. I wonder if the two adults are interested?"

"We don't have much time. Can Mr. Han take the paperwork and run with us?" He Li asked, leaning on the saddle.

"I'll go back to get it, you guys wait." Han Yan picked up his robe and ran towards the village.

Ling Qingyu beckoned the two of them to dismount, then ran to the fire that had just been extinguished next to the fire, dig out two roasted sweet potatoes, and handed them to them: "Try it."

"It's cold weather, is the head here to roast sweet potatoes?" Gao Liu took it and laughed.

"It doesn't count, look at the lower strata, why are you running over at this time?" Ling Qingyu asked.

"When we went back, the county magistrate showed the tax increase official document to the general. The field on Hedong Road was originally under the general’s name and was tax-exempt. Therefore, the general said he wanted us to come and touch you. Gao Liu and I are also considered to have If you have an official position, you can avoid some." He Li moved closer to Ling Qingyu and whispered: "If it is not enough, I have brought some small schools. Although it is 8th and 9th grade, some of them can be avoided."

"I offended the Wang Family and the Zhao Family so badly this time, will it cause you trouble?" Ling Qingyu also leaned over and whispered.

"Did they trouble you again?" He Li asked with a wink in his eyes.

"Cut, a few dead men want my life, they want to be beautiful! They were all destroyed by Yan San!" Ling Qingyu said triumphantly, and then whispered: "Don't tell Yang Zhao about this, you know. Do not?"

He Li took a deep look at her, and said, "Not to mention that the general will know."

"Anyway, you guys didn't hear anything!" Ling Qingyu stared and said, really wanting to get rid of the problem of quick mouth!

"That one sweet potato is not enough to buy us." Gao Liu Youyou smiled.

Ling Qingyu turned around and went to the fire and shaved a sweet potato out and handed it to him: "I double it for you, and there is nothing more! You can't be too black-hearted!"

"We will send you to Yinzhou first." He Li said softly.

"No, you didn't have much time to come out, and my carriage didn't go fast. They couldn't find our trace even after we left Bianjing, it doesn't matter." Ling Qingyu shook his head. All of them are in plain clothes, all in the dust, and they are rushing over non-stop, if they travel from Yinzhou, they don't know how much time it will take.

He Li pursed his lips and stopped speaking, knowing in his heart that she was right, so there was nowhere to send the sullen air.

Han Yan ran back in a hurry and said, "It's alright, let's go back quickly."

In the evening, Han Mian came back alone, saying that after finishing the paperwork, their team only ate in the county and left.

"They all have official positions on them, and the number of fields is enough. The problem here is equal to the solution." Seeing Ling Qingyu's look a little sorrowful, Han Mian said: "They are also afraid that being seen and gossiping is bad for you."

"I know, I just feel aggrieved," Ling Qingyu knocked off the table and said: "Are we breaking the law or killing? Why are we hiding in this way?!" Eating together is not enough!

"Han Mian," took a deep breath, Ling Qingyu eased his anger, and said: "This country is about to rot. If any dynasty makes people's lives scared, then it is not far from destruction. "

"The situation is not very good now, but the imperial control is still very strong, otherwise, we don't need to do these things, the masters will not be so fast." After a daze, Han said.

"Taxes are heavier, so that the people don't have a living, and then there are rebellions in various places, and now there are foreign enemies watching, why not be bad?" Ling Qingyu sneered.

"Because of the presence of Cheng Xiang and Qingliu, all the local government officials are working normally or even efficiently. The Great Zhou has been prosperous for decades, and the accumulated wealth is very considerable. These cannot be destroyed all at once. Not to mention Zhao Jiajun, there is also General Yang.” Han Mian said, he has never seen Ling Qingyu like this, she has always been confident that nothing can be difficult for her, and now it seems to be disappointed with everything, let him Very frightened.

"In other words, can it last for decades?" Ling Qingyu said.

"At least there won't be chaos right away, just look at how the imperial court later played games. If Cheng Xiang and the Qingliu faction can suppress these, then long-term peace and stability can be achieved. If they can't be suppressed, then it's really hard to say." Han Yan With a wry smile, said.

Ling Qingyu stared at Han Di for a while, and said, "Brother Han, your ability to withstand stress is much stronger than mine." During this period of time, continuous things have been backlogged in my heart a little bit. Rumors about the framing and killing, the result broke out today, so it seems that Han Mian and the indigenous people have strong psychological endurance.

"Wrong, if you say you are strong, no one can compare to the master." Han Yan smiled. Because you are the first person to bear the brunt. It is rumored that you are the one who was assassinated. You still have to make the final decision on how the rudder of the Ling family goes. We are nothing more than the executors. If I were you, it would be early. It broke out and hit the table.

"Yes, mother, I am the Xiaoqiang who can't kill! Dare to block my way, gods block and kill gods, and Buddha block and destroy Buddha! Han Mian, tomorrow we will set off to Yinzhou, my mother, I'm going to learn how to ride horses!" Ling Qingyu has great momentum. He slammed the bowl on the table and said loudly.

When you leave the Guanzhong Plain, you enter the Loess Plateau, and the scenery on both sides is completely different.

After the high fever, Ling Qingyu's body recovered miraculously. He was no longer so cold, but sometimes coughed. Yan San then stopped holding her and took her to sit in the driver's seat from time to time. landscape.

After leaving Yanzhou, the road is difficult to walk, and it is rare to see pedestrians on the road.

All the way was yellow-gray, Ling Qingyu yawned and said, "How far is it?"

Han Yan rode his horse and walked beside him, with a mysterious expression on his face: "I'll find out later."

He hadn't finished his words, and huge dust was raised on the road ahead as if a wind and sandstorm turned around.

Seeing Han Yan's face smiling, Yan San also relaxed.

Only Ling Qingyu opened his mouth and ate the sand full of wind and sand.

It was not a horse team running ahead, it was hundreds of horses galloping together.
