Ming Jia and Xie Boyuan repeatedly confirmed that General Li did not dare to retaliate against Xiao Qingshan. The Huang family had nothing to worry about without the support of General Li, and Li Zhizhou of Chuanzhou did not get along with the guard General Li, so he revealed his own damaging move.

The rice bucket that collects grain taxes was brought all the way from Chuanzhou, and now it is brought to the Huang family with Liu Xiaojiang. Such an important thing left Director Shi's eyes, and the county magistrate didn't even see Mi Dou.

How can I take it out of the Huang family tomorrow morning and collect the grain tax at the county government office? Tomorrow, the villagers who should wait to pay taxes from each village have arrived, and they will test the rice buckets in front of everyone.

After Ming Jia finished speaking, Xie Boyuan burst out laughing. No wonder this girl said she was afraid of retaliation. She could really imagine such a damaging move. What Xiao Qingshan is thinking about is, what if there is no problem with Mi Dou?

"Dad, it's best if Mi Dou has no problem. This just reflects the rigor and fairness of Li Zhizhou represented by Director Shi. You are also a good official who truly serves the people." Mingjia explained that in fact, she was more afraid of something happening to the real experiment. That's the big problem.

Don't mention it, the Huang family is really planning on rice dou. Ever since the day when Xiao Qingshan hosted a banquet for all the family heads and expressed preferential treatment to the Zhao family, the Huang family head had a sense of crisis.

The Huang family finally became the first family in Qu County. Does Mr. Xiao want to help the Zhao family become the first family again? The head of the Huang family will not sit still and wait for death.

The head of the Huang family conspired with Liu Xiaojiang to replace the dou of rice brought from the city with an eight-cent dou. In this way, the dou of grain handed over by the people was only eight-cent full. These poor people did not dare to say anything but Hand over more food.

After all, the tax this year is one-tenth. Even if you pay 20% more, it will be much better than last year. The Huang family has a lot of fertile farmland that needs to be paid taxes. On the last day, the family discovered that there was something wrong with the rice bucket and saved the food of the people in the county.

Anyway, Mi Dou is guarded by General Liu's soldiers, and no one usually comes close to it. They only need to carry the rice bucket into the county government office and keep it there for a while, and Master Xiao will not be able to get away with it.

Although in the end, Liu Xiao will be punished a little for his poor supervision, in the end he can still make up for the crime by apprehending the suspect!

And in the end, the excess food was returned to the people, and it worked well, which may be a merit. Nowadays, there are few wars, and it is not easy for a general to get some credit, and the money given by the Huang family is enough for him.

As a result, the conspiracy and conspiracy about this grain tax happened by fate. Probably to see which side is more skilled.

The next day is the big day for collecting grain taxes. Early in the morning, the village chiefs of each village led teams of wheelbarrows to transport food into the county. More than a dozen government officials from various villages had received orders in advance and were waiting at the gate of the county government office to wait for their village chief.

The villages are also familiar with each other. Each yamen officer not only finds his own village, but also some from the neighboring village, his grandmother's village, or his married aunt's village. In short, all the village chiefs soon got the letter, and soon the county magistrate would lead people to inspect the rice buckets, and everyone was smart.

It was only the first day of collecting grain taxes, and the people who came were all the village chiefs from dozens of nearby villages. Many of them had worked together and knew each other. When they get together to chat, they are all village chiefs, so how can they be stupid?

After Director Shi and Mr. Xiao had breakfast, they planned to go out and start collecting grain taxes. I saw a commotion at the gate of the county government office, and there seemed to be a dispute. I quickly stepped forward to take a look and was dumbfounded.

The county government officials and several officers and soldiers who came to collect taxes actually took action. Cheng Si and Shi Thirty-Four even blocked the entrance of the county government office with sticks horizontally.

Xiao Qingshan quickly asked what was going on. It turned out that Ming Jia specifically told Cheng Si yesterday to guard the county office this morning. Mi Dou can only be found at the gate of the county government office, and absolutely cannot enter the gate of the county government office.

The officers and soldiers understood it very well. They woke up early in the morning to carry the rice bucket over, just to send it to the county government. So, the two groups started fighting at the door.

Many villagers are eager to help the government officials. In particular, villagers in several villages saw that their children had become government servants and were beaten by soldiers. That's heartbreaking, but it's the pride of the whole village!

Fortunately, the village chiefs of each village stopped him. They knew the skills of Fourth Master Cheng and the others. Moreover, several of the children looked like their faces were stained, but in fact they were not serious. There was even a village chief who saw his child and took the initiative to put his face towards her.

Xiao Qingshan was originally worried about how to persuade Director Shi to agree to the rice inspection. Seeing this situation, he felt that what his daughter was most worried about might have happened.

Officer Shi originally wanted to step forward to mediate the issue, but as soon as he raised his feet, he was pulled back to the county office by Xiao Qingshan. The two of them stood behind the gate of the county government office, listening to the noise outside.

Xiao Qingshan directly said that he planned to inspect the rice buckets in front of the people later, and then collect taxes. I didn’t explain much, I just asked Director Shi if he agreed.

Director Shi has also calmed down a bit now. He has already decided when to start collecting grain. Why did the officers and soldiers arrive so early and still have to carry rice buckets into the county government office to rest?

Director Shi didn't dare to think further. He felt that not even General Li would dare to talk about the Huang family. However, Mr. Xiao's proposal was good for both Zhizhou and him. After thinking about it for a moment, Director Shi agreed.

Xiao Qingshan took the lead to walk out of the county office and sounded the gong to signal everyone to be quiet. The government officials and the people were instantly quiet, and a few soldiers could not continue to make noise. Seeing Mr. Xiao come out, the leading officers and soldiers winked at the soldiers beside them and signaled to go back quickly and ask General Liu to come over.

Liu Xiaojiang had delicious food and drinks at the Huang family, and the Huang family even arranged for a maid to accompany him in the evening. He didn't want to get up so early. He thought it was just a small matter like sending rice buckets to the county government office, and his subordinates could handle it naturally.

Cheng Si never took his eyes off the soldiers. When he saw someone going to report a message, he shouted: "Stop him!" and rushed out from behind Xiao Qingshan.

Several villagers in that direction subconsciously gathered around. When the county government was being repaired, who dared not listen to Fourth Master Cheng's words. When the leading soldier saw that the soldier who reported the news did not rush out, he felt that the day was over.

Xiao Qingshan just glanced at the situation here and directly ordered people to move the table out, and several scribes were ready to take notes. Xiao Qingshan didn't talk nonsense and just introduced Director Shi from Zhoucheng to the villagers.

Completely ignoring the obstruction of several soldiers, he directly ordered people to carry the bucket of rice behind the soldiers to the open space in front of the county government office, and poured the bucket of grain down under the watch of everyone. Suddenly the crowd began to boil.

"Eight points perfect!" "Eight points perfect!" It turned out to be only eight points perfect! Several villagers standing in front of the crowd shouted loudly, fearing that the villagers behind them would not understand the situation.

Officer Shi stared at Mi Dou, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling very happy in his heart. Mr. Xiao really saved his whole family!
