The sixth uncle looked at the situation in front of him, and he couldn't accept it.

Why is such a handsome young man so inhuman in his actions?If you don’t pay back what you promised when renting a house, you will definitely take good care of the house.

The sixth uncle who ate half a fish sent by Yan Su yesterday only felt that the bone of the whole fish was stuck in his throat.

On the second day after moving in, a fire almost broke out and burned the whole house.

——The cracked earthenware pot did not belong to his family. After his younger brother passed away, most of the usable utensils in the family were moved away.

The sixth uncle only felt that there was a ball of anger in his throat, but he looked at Yan Su's innocence with a somewhat panicked expression, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Besides, there were two sleepy, frightened children beside him.

What if he frightened the child by yelling at Yan Su, a troubled young man?

The sixth uncle could only go back to his house angrily, and couldn't help cursing in front of his wife.

Yan Su looked at the messy kitchen, and felt that when he came back from buying a more durable iron pot, he should find someone to cook for him and the cubs.

——So, pay more attention to making money!

Seeing Yan Su's lethality, Liang Fei couldn't laugh or cry.

Hearing Yan Su talk about finding someone to cook, I wanted him not to waste money like this, but Yan Su can eat with his family for a while, but not for a lifetime, right?

In fact, for Liang Fei, the best thing is for Yan Su to quickly meet a suitable person and marry him into the family.

But he also knew Yan Su's situation, and this kind of thing also needed some fate.

So he could only agree to help Yanshu find a suitable one.Being able to cook, Yan Su also needs to help take care of the children, so that Yan Su can go out and earn money without worry.

After discussing these things, Yan Shu began to think about making money again, when he heard the sound of a gong.

It was the first time Yan Su heard such a voice, and looked at Liang Fei in a moment of confusion, Liang Fei frowned slightly, not very happy.

"What happened?" Yan Shu thought that the sound of the gong meant something ominous.

The next moment Liang Fei smiled, but Yan Su didn't notice the bitterness and anger in it.

He said: "It is the adults who collect taxes and grains."

He rolled his eyes, and said again: "It's best not to let them see you for the time being. Otherwise, there may be some reason to collect taxes from you."

——Yan Su only lived in Luohua Village temporarily, so he was not protected, and in fact, he didn't have to pay taxes.But precisely because of the lack of protection, Yan Su might not even have the chance to sue the officials if the official sent a clever name.

As for whether Yan Su will settle in Luohua Village in the future, let's wait until later, let's avoid it today.

"Fortunately, the sound of the gong is to tell everyone to send all the taxes and food from each family to the entrance of the village."

Those officials don't want to collect money from family to family in the village. They sit under a big umbrella, read the names of each family with a notebook, and ask people to come forward.

Yan Su originally heard that he was going to "hide", and was about to tell Liang Fei to rest assured that he would definitely hide well and not cause trouble to them.

But now I heard him say that it doesn't need to be "strict", and I immediately became interested in going to see it—he still wants to live in this village, after all, he has become a human being in this world.

But if you want to live among the crowd, you will inevitably be found to be abnormal, so you naturally need to "see more and learn more".

Liang Fei didn't object either, he just told him to be careful not to get close to those people, and then he went home to prepare his own taxes.

——Although the officials don't know every villager in so many villages, Yan Su's appearance is really eye-catching.

Yan Shu deliberately picked a big tree, hid in the tree and looked at the crowded crowd not far away.

They were all villagers who pushed or carried their own rice, accompanied by their wives and family members, holding more or less cloth.

In the center of the crowd, sat a leading official, followed by many yamen servants.

He called the name of the head of the household according to the book in his hand, and the person whose name was called would step forward and pour the rice into the square bucket.

The dry rice that has been exposed to the sun for a few days is piled high.

The yamen servant at the side stepped forward, swiped the scabbard, and swept the pointed rice onto the cloth on the ground, signaling the man to continue pouring the rice.

The fingertips of the man's grasping the basket turned white, but in the end he just poured the rice on the square bucket again without saying a word and with a low eyebrow.

Only then did the other party wave his hand in satisfaction, letting the man move away, and the yamen servant behind him stepped forward, poured all the rice into the cloth bag they brought, sealed it and loaded it into the car.

Next, the tops of the square buckets are brushed off, and then the tops are picked up again, and bagged.

Bags of rice are also accumulated on the cloth spread on the ground, but they are not loaded in the same cart as the bags of tax grain.

Yan Su looked at the clouds and mountains, what kind of operation was this?

——It’s fine if you don’t pack it in a car.

But why do you have to sweep away some of the well-pretended ones?

Liang Fei went home and took the money, told Rong Niang not to go out, and when he came to the village, he paid attention to where Yan Su was.

It's also thanks to him being a hunter with good eyesight, and Yan Su didn't intend to hide too much, Liang Fei saw the smear of cloth on the tree.

When Liang Fei saw it, he couldn't help being happy.

Seeing Yan Su squatting on the tree again, picking up the bark for some reason, he quickly called him down softly.

Seeing Liang Fei approaching, Yan Su landed on the ground lightly, and asked him, "Why do you have to sweep the ground when you pretend to be good?"

"It has to be packed separately." Yan Su asked, although the two cars were not far apart, the feeling of "clear distinction" was very clear.

Liang Fei: "...", as expected, he is my straightforward big brother.

With a long sigh, Liang Fei said helplessly: "Those who landed are all the 'labor fees' of those tax officials."

Yan Suben thought that the "labor fee" was normal. Didn't he also pay for it when he asked someone to sell pork for him?

But Liang Fei's gritted teeth prevented him from bringing this topic up immediately.

"It is said that the tax is ten and three, but in fact there must be no four floors in any year. The year of disaster does not fall, and the year of prosperity rises instead, completely ignoring our livelihood." Speaking of this topic, Liang Fei couldn't help but slam his fist on the tree trunk. Punch hard, otherwise I really can't bear the anger pressing in my chest.

Yan Su suddenly wanted to understand what he always thought was inconsistent.

"Paying taxes, isn't it handed over to...the government?" He used a vocabulary he learned locally, "They work for the government, and they already get paid, don't they?"

—This is not the same thing as his asking for help.How to do things with salary, but also to eat and get cards?

Yan Su felt that he had seen the "corruption and bribery" in the mouth of human beings, and it was the compulsory kind.He has never been a human again, and he has seen human beings angry.

Not only Liang Fei, those who are paying taxes and waiting to pay taxes, none of them are in peace of mind.

Liang Fei: "Hey, actually, this is already considered good."

"In today's world, who doesn't have a difficult life? The three kings each occupy one side, and there are foreign enemies around."

"Our emperor is already the best. At least since the first conscription three years ago, he has never been sent to the military."

Liang Fei's voice became lower and lower. In today's world, if he goes to serve in the military, he will never return.

After Yan Su listened to it, she still didn't understand what was so good about the emperor. According to what Liang Fei said, under such a tax, it would be very difficult for a family to have enough to eat.

——This is because Yan Su still doesn't know the existence of polished rice, because he has been eating brown rice, and he has never experienced the taste of polished rice.When he knows it, he will have a more real understanding of the living standards of the people now.

The taxes handed over are all calculated in rice, but the family can only eat miscellaneous grains to satisfy their hunger.

Yan Su thought about it for a while, but he still didn't figure it out. It was because he knew too little about human beings now, and he was just thinking about how to ask more questions without revealing himself.

Liang Fei sighed: "I heard that the drought in Huo'an County this year is much more serious than ours, and I don't know how many people will starve to death."

——Although Huo'an County is the territory of another emperor, it is not far from them.Before the three-party separatist rule, there were still many intermarriages among the people in the bordering area between the two places.

Upon hearing this, Yan Su frowned and asked Liang Fei: "Then give them so much extra food, and leave them alone?"

Yan Su thought of something again, changed his tone and said, "Or, go and steal it back?"

He lowered his voice when he said these words, Liang Fei only listened to the gasp, but he clearly understood what Yan Su meant, and immediately grabbed Yan Su, fearing that he would rush out the next moment.

Yan Su felt that this was a feasible solution, but the strength on his arm told him that he must not act rashly.

Even though they were quite far away, Liang Fei still dragged Yan Su to hide behind the big tree, seeing that no one else noticed them, so he spoke in a low voice.

This way, Yan Su, who was just a human being, can think of it. How can those people who are sophisticated in the world not think about it?

"Those people acted very meticulously, leaving almost no clues. What's the use?"

——Are those officials who "corrupt and accept bribes" the kind of people who will only act after they have clear evidence?

If they paid so much attention to "conclusive evidence", they wouldn't do such illegal things.

"I heard that those official posts took away almost [-]% of the grain in that area of ​​the village. Fang Dou's prominence was leveled again and again."

Under such a harsh "punishment", not to mention no one dares to "play smart", even those villagers who really stole the food are also notorious.

——The villagers who have been forced to pay heavy taxes no longer dare to "tit for tat" with the officials, and naturally point the finger at those villagers who have harmed them because of "selfish desires".

Yan Su felt that this was wrong, and those people were not the culprit at all, but he didn't know what to say "human words".

Liang Fei patted Yan Su on the shoulder: "I know Brother Yan, you have the ability, but you really can't do this."

After all, they are just living a difficult life now, but if they "act rashly", they may end up starving and dying everywhere.

This time, it was Yan Su's turn to feel a breath stuck in his heart, which he couldn't suppress no matter what.

When Liang Fei went to pay his taxes, Yan Su didn't want to watch this scene anymore, so he went back first.

However, he couldn't breathe or swallow, which made him very irritable, and finally couldn't help but keep up with the food transport team.
