Chapter 253 Life and death and grace

Upon hearing this, the official Guan Shuli looked at Wu Xingzu and asked with a smile: "Young man, do you want to come to Si Lifang to practice? It's not impossible, but the matter of grain taxation is complicated and hard, so I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

What?

Wu Li long mentioned it, and Guan Shuli agreed?

The other village chiefs and village chiefs were filled with envy and jealousy, and they also wanted their children to come to Si Lifang to occupy a seat.

Wu Xingzu was overjoyed when he heard this, and was secretly proud of himself... Humph, the little Si Lifang in the shabby countryside really wanted a student like him who was studying in the capital to come and help!

Wu Xingzu was extremely arrogant in his heart, but he was very obedient on his face. He stepped forward and saluted and said, "The student did have this intention when he returned to Guan."

He added: "Although the registration and accounting of grain taxes are tedious, it can be very training. Students will be finished with the next scientific examination. I want to seize the opportunity to get more contact with government affairs and practice myself. In order to add experience to the scientific research strategy, I would also like to ask the official to complete it."

And Wu Xingzu will be an official in the future, so it is necessary to familiarize himself with the affairs of the government in advance.

Village Chief Zhou and Chief Lu were almost dying of anxiety, shouting in their hearts: Secretary Guan, this Wu family is not a good person, you can't agree!

However, Secretary Guan agreed: "Since you have experience and the ability to do accounting, and the Secretary's Office is short of manpower, I will naturally not object."

Wu Lizhang and Wu Xingzu were overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Secretary Guan!"

"Thank you first." Secretary Guan interrupted them, took out a stack of written life and death certificates from a small box, and handed them to the Wu family's ancestors and grandchildren: "Wu Xingzu, the food tax is a big matter. Come and help. The Si Lifang and the Yamen are very welcoming, but they must sign a life and death certificate... Mr. Wu also has to sign. "

What?

The Wu family's ancestors and grandchildren were shocked.

Village Chief Zhou and Chief Lu couldn't stop laughing... It's thanks to their old age and thick skin, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to hold back.

"You still need to sign a life and death certificate? No one has signed it before. Why do you have to sign it when you come to my place?!" Wu Xingzu was dissatisfied and suspected that the official was targeting him.

"Oh, in the past, when someone from Silifang in Taifeng Town came to help calculate the grain tax, they didn't even sign a life and death certificate?" Secretary Guan looked at Wu Xingzu and smiled, making Wu Xingzu a little panicked.

"Of course not. Unofficial clerks who come to Silifang to help are required to sign a life and death certificate. This is one of the criminal laws of our Wei Dynasty. No one dares to defy it." Wu Li Chang explained hurriedly, and then scolded Wu Xingzu: " You are a young boy who only knows how to study and has been in Fucheng all year round. If you don’t understand the affairs of Si Lifang in the countryside, don’t talk nonsense.”

The grain tax is about to be collected, and there cannot be chaos in the countryside. There is no evidence, so Guan Shuli did not go into details and just smiled and asked: "Wu Xingzu, are you still willing to come to Si Lifang to help? If you come, Si Lifang will pay you on a daily basis." wages.”

This?

Wu Xingzu only wanted to get benefits, show his face and build relationships, and did not want to take any responsibility. Moreover, this was a life and death situation. If something went wrong, someone would really die.

Wu Lichang said hurriedly: "Brother Zu, please accept it quickly and thank the clerk for giving you the opportunity to practice."

We have come to this point. If we don't agree, wouldn't we be telling the official that there is something wrong with the Wu family, so they dare not sign!

Wu Xingzu could only say: "The student is willing to sign, thank you so much, Secretary Guan."

"Okay." Secretary Guan gave him the life and death certificate, and after their grandparents and grandsons signed it, he said: "Everyone in the village, if there are any children who are literate and know how to settle accounts and want to come to Silifang to help, please bring them. But you have to sign a life and death certificate.”

As soon as these words came out, the village chiefs who originally wanted their children to come to Si Lifang to occupy seats all backed down.

But Village Chief Zhou and Chief Lu immediately recommended their sons.

Secretary Guan was very happy and agreed immediately.

Mr. Zhou and Lu Dawen were waiting for their respective fathers outside Sili Square. Not long after, they were called into the room, their fingerprints were pressed, and they signed a life and death certificate.

There were two more laborers to do the accounting, and the clerk was very happy.

"Grain tax is a major matter for the country. Guan is here to represent the yamen. Please leave it to you." Secretary Guan said solemnly and bowed deeply to the village chiefs.

Grandpa Qin was moved when he saw it... When he was in his hometown, the people sent by the county government to the town every year to collect taxes were all high and mighty. This was the first time he saw such a generous government official like Secretary Guan.

If the ancestors and grandsons of the Wu family heard what he was saying, they would definitely scold him... Secretary Guan is such a bastard. They didn't have to sign life and death certificates before, and they could use homemade large scales to steal farmers' grain taxes, but today Secretary Guan asked them to He signs life and death certificates, replaces large scales for them, cuts off their wealth and wants their lives, this person named Guan is an evil star!

Patriarch Lu was the first to say: "Guan Shuli's words are serious. Our Lu family will definitely collect grain taxes from all the villages under our jurisdiction. We will never default on a grain of grain or cause a single life."

Food is the most important thing for the people, so every year when paying the grain tax, there will be some casualties.

The other village chiefs and village chiefs were afraid of offending the county government, so they also made promises.

"Thank you for your help." Secretary Guan smiled and said, "Everyone, take the big scale and return to the village quickly to collect the grain tax."

"Yes!" The village chiefs and village chiefs left one after another.

Wu Xingzu, Zhou Yeye and Lu Dawen stayed.

Secretary Guan said: "This afternoon, you will first get used to the tax calculation matters to avoid making mistakes when doing the formal accounting."

"Yes." The three of them responded and learned their skills from Secretary Guan.

……

After Grandpa Qin and the others left Silifang, they did not return to the village immediately. Instead, they said to the village chiefs of the three villages of Kaihe, Shiliu and Niutoupo: "You guys wait first, I will look for Dong Xue's house. If possible, you three villages will go to the big warehouse." The work can be decided today.”

The village chief of the third village was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Hey, we are waiting here, Village Chief Qin is here to help."

Grandpa Qin smiled and took a car to find Xue Dong's house.

Dong Xue's family does not live in the town, but at the warehouse construction site.

When Grandpa Qin found the construction site, he was shocked... The originally deserted open space was full of busy craftsmen, some preparing and cutting materials; some digging foundations.

Two teams of craftsmen and hundreds of craftsmen were able to almost dig the foundation of the large warehouse in just two days of digging.

Grandpa Qin was amazed when he saw it: "Dong Xue's family, your progress is really scary."

Mr. Xue laughed and said: "The weather is getting colder. If we don't dig the foundation quickly, it will be difficult to dig the ground when it freezes."

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin asked worriedly: "Dong Xue's family, it's going to snow here soon. Can this big warehouse be roofed before the heavy snow?"

"Yes." Xue Dongjia replied in the affirmative, and pointed to the mountains of wood: "In addition to the blue brick house, we also built a wooden house. The progress of this wooden house is very fast, and the beams and roof can be completed in three days."

"You also built a wooden house?" Grandpa Qin was stunned and reminded: "Dong Xue's house, the wooden house is prone to water leakage."

Xue Dongjia smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not that easy to get rid of the water in this wooden house, unless it is set on fire. But if someone dares to set fire and cut off this wealth, the Kang County Magistrate will dare to kill his entire family... and next spring Later, a number of blue brick warehouses will be built, and these wooden houses will be used as accommodation for the caretakers and will no longer be used as warehouses.”

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin felt relieved and told him about the villagers from the three villages coming to work.

Winning over the villagers from neighboring villages and protecting the Qin family was originally one of the things that the Xue Dong family had to do, so the Xue Dong family said readily: "Bring the head of the third village here."
