Why marry someone when you are reborn?

At this moment, many things flashed through Xu Yun's mind.

But in the end, she chose to tell the truth: "My mother is somewhat related to the Xie family of Chenjun, and I look more like my mother."

The Xie family of Chen County is famous throughout the world.

County Magistrate Zhou raised his brows and was about to ask again.

Without waiting for him to ask, Xu Yun took the initiative to speak: "However, we are already a very side branch of the family. Even if we return to the Xie family in Chen County, we will not get much protection."

"Since we followed Madam Deng here, we will not leave. We will not do anything we shouldn't do."

Why are the aristocratic families so famous? Why are they feared by the world?

There is no other reason. One is the unity of the tribe members, and the other is that the tribe has a deep foundation and its power is intertwined and cannot be shaken by outsiders.

People from prominent families are usually proud of their origins.

There are almost no people like Xu Yun.

County Magistrate Zhou nodded and said softly, "I once had a good friend who was from the Xie family of Chenjun, but unfortunately we had different positions and we no longer kept in touch. You look a bit like him, so I took him as a close friend, so I feel a bit of familiarity with you."

He smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. We don't have so many concerns here. We just need to write down your ancestral home on the household registration, so we ask one more question."

County Magistrate Zhou glanced at Aunt Deng again and said, "Besides, Aunt Deng will guarantee you, so I can trust her."

After saying this, County Magistrate Zhou asked someone to bring the household registration booklet and wrote it for Xu Yun personally.

He also asked who the head of Xu Yun's household was?

Xu Yun subconsciously said, "Write about me."

After County Magistrate Zhou asked which Yun it was, he wrote the two words "Xu Yun".

The household registration is made in two copies, one is kept by the government and the other is distributed to the head of the household.

On the thin paper, the owner of the household was named Xu Yun, and below were the names Xie Wanqing and Xu Hongyu.

There is also a red seal from the government.

Xu Yun took the thin piece of paper, which looked even a bit inferior, and felt a little dazed.

There was even a moment when she felt that the paper weighed a thousand pounds and she could hardly hold it.

She even felt a little sore in her eyes.

Aunt Deng said cheerfully, "Ah Yun, you must take good care of your family in the future. It's not easy to be the head of a household. You will have to pay taxes every year."

County Magistrate Zhou also laughed and said, "That's right. Although men and women can now register as households, the taxes they have to pay are the same. With three people in your family, you will have to pay a lot of taxes just for the Ding tax."

Looking at the smiles of County Magistrate Zhou and Aunt Deng, Xu Yun suddenly felt...had he been fooled?

It seems that this household registration is not as difficult as I thought.

County Magistrate Zhou added, "Unfortunately, it is almost time to pay the first half of the year's Ding tax."

Xu Yun looked at County Magistrate Zhou's smile... and confirmed his guess.

The soreness in my eyes instantly healed.

She kept smiling and said calmly, "Thank you, County Magistrate Zhou, for your reminder."

Xu Yun actually didn't really want to talk right now.

Especially after asking about the amount of the Ding tax.

However, she didn't have time to think about it because she had to make money.

Xu Yun asked County Magistrate Zhou: "We are short of food now, right? If I can find food, what reward will the government give me?"

Originally, she was planning to provide it for free in exchange for a good reputation.

but now……

It's true that people should be more practical. It's more practical to have money in hand. As the head of the family, she has to support the family!

The one who was stunned this time should be County Magistrate Zhou.

County Magistrate Zhou even stood up to close the door! He leaned over and lowered his voice: "Miss Xu, don't say that."

His eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands: "How much food is there? Is it far?"

Xu Yun was shocked when he saw County Magistrate Zhou, who looked completely different from the elegant and refined man he had just been.

Then she smiled, and without answering a single question, she repeated, "I wonder what reward I can get?"

County Magistrate Zhou took a deep breath and was about to speak.

Auntie Deng spoke first: "I say, County Magistrate Zhou, Ah Yun looks smart, you should stop lying."

County Magistrate Zhou's words were stuck on his lips, feeling very embarrassed.

Xu Yun also smiled: "Mr. Zhou, please speak frankly. If I hadn't had to pay taxes, I might not have even thought of this."

County Magistrate Zhou swept away his embarrassment and his eyes began to shine again: "I wonder if Ah Yun can remember more?"

"That depends on how much County Magistrate Zhou can make me remember." Xu Yun kept smiling.

Mrs. Deng was watching anxiously from the side: "Can't you two be more direct? Why are you beating around the bush?"

Xu Yun and County Magistrate Zhou: ...

County Magistrate Zhou also realized that Xu Yun was definitely not an inexperienced young lady who was easy to fool. She was the kind of person who would not act until she saw the rabbit.

He could only sigh and said, "If you can produce more than 10,000 catties of grain, I will exempt you from the three-year tax. If you produce more than that—"

Xu Yun said softly, "For the excess, why not give me some food? I only need 10 kilograms out of 1,000 kilograms. If it exceeds 10,000 kilograms, I will get 100 kilograms."

County Magistrate Zhou didn't expect that it was less than he thought. For a moment, he looked at Xu Yun deeply again.

Xu Yun returned to his well-behaved appearance and saluted to County Magistrate Zhou: "We just want to survive. County Magistrate Zhou, please take good care of us in the future."

This request was not excessive. After all, even if Xu Yun did not mention it, County Magistrate Zhou was planning to do so.

When Xu Yun mentioned it, he said in a gentle voice, "From what you said, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. This is not a small amount. I will report it to my superiors truthfully."

Maybe we can get some other benefits for Xu Yun.

Xu Yun bowed deeply again.

County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and lowered his voice, a little anxiously: "Tell me quickly, where is the food?"

Xu Yun then mentioned the place name: "I wonder if County Magistrate Zhou has ever heard of Luling Mountain?"

Luling Mountain is only a few hundred miles away from Anqing City.

It is a huge mountain range.

It is said that there is a magical snow-white deer in Luling Mountain. It is the incarnation of the mountain god and protects the mountains and forests.

Therefore, this mountain is called Luling Mountain.

However, Luling Mountain is too steep and there are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so ordinary people dare not go in easily.

And the reason there is food there... is all because of the Stone Army.

The Stone Army was the army composed of bandits and robbers that broke into Ruyang City.

Luling Mountain is the base camp of the Stone Army.

They robbed and fought to support war, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

Among them, nearly 100,000 kilograms of grain were looted from the granary in Ruyang City.

Not to mention that the Stone Army looted food stored in other places.

Xu Yun only talked about food and did not mention the weapons of the Stone Army.

These things were given to the Spark Army as a gift. This way, it would only benefit the three of them in the future, not harm them.

When it comes to Luling Mountain, County Magistrate Zhou actually knows it.

County Magistrate Zhou frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Who hid the food in Luling Mountain?"
