I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was a little puzzled: "What problem?"

He didn't let Wei Siwen build a house, so why was he worried?

Wei Siwen said helplessly: "You have to pay to build a house here. If you are farming, you should pay taxes. No one will find out if you sneak around. The county magistrate will just turn a blind eye and close his eyes. If you make such a big move about building a house, maybe people will see it, and I won’t even be able to hide it for you.”

Luo Shixing tilted his head and thought for a while: "Are you going to buy land?"

Now they say it is unowned land, but strictly speaking it still belongs to the country. If you want to become your own, you have to buy it. Luo Shixing understands this truth, and the future generations will be the same.

If he could really be given the title deed, he would rather pay some money to buy something better than the one that is unclear now, at least there is a legal guarantee.

Moreover, Luo Shixing estimated that the land here should not be very expensive.

Wei Siwen said: "In addition to the bamboo and wood you use on the land, you have to pay taxes."

Luo Shixing looked blank: "Ah? Why? Isn't this wild?"

It is indeed wild, but this is the law of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is remote here, sometimes the law is a wordless book, but it closely follows the imperial court in terms of taxation, and even comes up with some other names. collect taxes.

No one cares that these bamboos grow here are wild, but if you want to use them, you have to pay. Similarly, if you feel that you want to continue to use bamboo and plant it again, you have to pay taxes.

These days, you have to pay taxes to plant trees in your own home, and you have to pay taxes to plant trees in the wild. It's just so unreasonable.

Luo Shixing was stunned when he heard this. He knew that there were many kinds of exorbitant taxes in ancient times, and he also knew that tax was collected for planting trees at home.

However, the information he read before said that the tax was collected only when mulberry trees were planted at home. Generally, mulberry trees were raised for the purpose of raising silkworms and weaving cloth, so it was normal to collect taxes. Why should other trees be taxed?

Cheng Jingwei even added: "You can't cut down the bamboo you grow outside after paying the tax. If you want to cut it, you need to apply to the county government, otherwise it will be a violation of the law."

Luo Shixing: ...

Hearing that his head hurt, he couldn't help making a stop gesture: "Don't talk about the tree, what should we do with this house?"

The pile foundations have already started to be laid, and they are not willing to let them give up now.

The most important thing is that it's fine if he doesn't know about it, why didn't Cheng Jingwei remind him?

Luo Shixing glanced at Cheng Jingwei suspiciously. Cheng Jingwei was very calm. He didn't remind him because he had no intention of paying taxes and money to the county.

If the county magistrate really came to his door, he wouldn't be unable to deal with it. He still knew a lot about the county magistrate, and he also knew the difficulties encountered by the other party's family. At that time, the matter of helping him casually would be over.

Wei Siwen was silent for a while and said: "It's not that you can't deal with it. You should be prepared. I will take you to see the county magistrate later. Tigers don't need to go for the time being."

Luo Shixing was asked to meet the county magistrate in order to make a good impression in front of the county magistrate. Among other things, Luo Shixing's appearance was really flattering.

As for Cheng Jingwei... It's not that he's not good-looking, the main reason is that he doesn't look like a good stubble, his personal aura is too strong, and he also had conflicts with the county magistrate's relatives, although the county magistrate doesn't like that relative , but may not like him.

So it was safer to let Luo Shixing go alone, not to mention that the county magistrate was more interested in Luo Shixing, a "child prodigy".

Luo Shixing was a little worried and said, "Is it dangerous to leave Ah Wei here alone?"

Although he can't do anything when he is really in danger, at least the two of them have comfort in their hearts, and it is better to have someone helping each other than one at a critical moment.

Cheng Jingwei didn't want Luo Shixing to go, he didn't like Luo Shixing trying to please strangers for such a thing.

So he said: "It's better to go through the formal procedures, so as not to be fooled in the future."

Wei Siwen was helpless: "Have you two forgotten something? You have been here for less than a year!"

According to the real regulations, they have to do hard labor this year.

The county magistrate has his own purpose in exempting the magistrate, but you can't push his feet. If you really piss off the county magistrate, the two of them will have to go to hard labor now.

Even if people are more ruthless, let them continue to build houses. Don't you like to build houses?Let's build it, even if it's finished, it's not yours, and the work will be for nothing, and you will have to continue to do hard labor.

Not only the house, but also the ice cellar and other people here are taken away, and there is nothing you can do.

Luo Shixing immediately tugged at Cheng Jingwei's sleeve and said, "Let me go. Originally, the county magistrate exempted me from hard labor so that I could help with the paperwork. As a result, I haven't done anything for so long. I don't want to say anything." Not suitable."

Wei Siwen was quite relieved, but luckily the kid was reasonable, so he said that Cheng Jingwei was too arrogant and arrogant.

Cheng Jingwei took a deep breath. Although he accepted the fate of needing to start from scratch after his rebirth, he still couldn't help being self-centered in doing things, and he didn't take the county magistrate seriously at all.

Even if he knew that he should bow his head, he couldn't bear it at this moment.

Luo Shixing could see that he was unwilling, so he gave Wei Siwen a wink, and Wei Siwen immediately understood what he meant and said, "I eat too much, let's go eat and see how your foundation is being dug."

He could see that Cheng Jingwei didn't listen to him very much, but was very patient with Luo Shixing, and he could listen to what Luo Shixing said, so he simply left, leaving some room for Luo Shixing to persuade the kid.

After Wei Siwen strolled to the side with his hands behind his back, Luo Shixing said softly, "I know you don't want me to be wronged, but people have to bow their heads under the low eaves. If they bow their heads, they can get the title deed. Even if you get more, that's okay, I'm not a kid from a wealthy family, so don't feel wronged for me."

This situation is actually very good now, at least Wei Siwen is willing to protect them and mediate with the county magistrate. If it is put in the workplace of future generations, who will help you?I am afraid that you will have to suffer a lot to understand more truths. Even if you bow your head, you may not be able to achieve your goal, so you can only compromise.

Especially now that he is young, others will have a high tolerance for what he says and does. As long as he is careful, he will be fine.

Cheng Jing touched Luo Shixing's head slightly and sighed: "One day, I will ask you to do whatever you want."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing put his head on his shoulder and said, "Wish is beautiful, but no one in this world can do whatever he wants, not even the emperor."

Cheng Jingwei said in his heart that it depends on the emperor, and the faint king can definitely do it.

Luo Shixing saw that his frowning relaxed a lot, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I'll prepare some things and go with Wei Weng. Be careful when you are alone at home, and take care of Ah Tong. Don't bully him all the time!"

Cheng Jingwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who bullied him? Don't worry about us anymore, there will be no problem."

Luo Shixing tilted his head and looked at him: "I don't know how long it will take, why don't you prepare the meals for these two days first?"

Cheng Jing patted Mao Mao's head slightly: "Okay, I don't really know anything, I still know how to cook, don't worry if you won't starve to death."

As for Wang Antong, he feels that he is very happy if he has something to eat, let alone worry about it.

Seeing that he looked very confident, Luo Shixing thought that he would really know what Cheng Jingwei said he would know, so he stopped entangled.

He turned his head and went to the cellar to take out the trotters, split them in half with a sickle, marinated them with a mixture of salt, pepper, dogwood and lemongrass, wrapped them in plantains and roasted them in the fire.

The pig's trotters need to be roasted for a long time. During this process, he even took out a few marinated pork ribs and a jar of wild honey to take away.

Luo Shixing was very distressed when he went out to get things, but after thinking about it, if he could exchange these few ribs and honey for the land deed, and also get a good impression of the county magistrate, it would be a good deal if he didn't embarrass them.

After the pig's trotters were roasted, Luo Shixing skewered them with bamboo sticks, brushed the outside with a layer of honey, and then put it on the fire until the skin was crispy. Then he put it in the bamboo box and said to Wei Siwen, "Wei Weng, I Ready."

Wei Siwen watched him operate the whole process. At first he looked at the pig's trotters and hesitated, thinking that it was not good to give this kind of thing to the county magistrate. Who would eat this?

However, after the pig's trotters were roasted, he changed his mind. No, there was no need to finish roasting. During the roasting process, he couldn't help but drool when he smelled the smell.

Especially after brushing with honey, the aroma of oil and the sweetness brought by spices and sugar really make the mouth water.

Wei Siwen took Luo Shixing back, Luo Shixing was so unfamiliar with this road that he didn't remember it.

He was very unfamiliar when he arrived in the county seat, but some people seemed to remember him, and he would call others to come out to see him if he ran out to see him.

Seeing that Luo Shixing was not comfortable being looked at, Wei Siwen smiled and said: "Recently, children in the county have become popular to wear tiger head hats."

After Luo Shixing heard this, he didn't know what to say. Did he single-handedly start the trend of tiger head hats?

But what Wei Siwen didn't say was that no child wearing a tiger head hat could be as cute and beautiful as Luo Shixing.

So it's normal for him to be surrounded by people. Who doesn't like to look at a good-looking child more.

After all, he has an outstanding appearance, and after living in the mountains and forests for a period of time, he has an inexplicable aura about him.

Like a little demon in the forest with a free and unrestrained attitude, at the same time, he also has a kind of perseverance that can only be obtained after suffering and the unique vigor of a hunter.

Although Luo Shixing always felt that he was inferior to Cheng Jingwei in terms of force value, and now even Wang Antong was inferior, but in fact, after the recent period of tempering, he has surpassed most of them.

When Wei Siwen brought him to the door, Luo Shixing made a special observation and found that the people in the county government had a very kind attitude towards Wei Siwen, from which we can see that Wei Siwen's status should not be low.

He let go of half of his heart, as long as Wei Siwen was willing to defend them, the county magistrate should not make things difficult for him.

So now the problem came, he found that he still couldn't understand the local language!

When he first arrived here, he really thought about learning the local dialect. After all, he has to live and communicate.

It turned out that there was an accident. The previous time was spent with Cheng Jingwei in the mountains and forests, and there was no need to communicate with the locals.

Since he didn't need him, he just forgot about it, now... the county magistrate won't be happy if he finds out that he doesn't understand?

Luo Shixing was a little nervous and couldn't help tugging at Wei Siwen's sleeve.

As soon as Wei Siwen turned his head, he saw the little lynx looking at him eagerly, with obvious nervousness on his face, he couldn't help but feel soft, he held Luo Shixing's hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Luo Shixing said in a low voice: "Wei Weng, I can't speak the dialect here and I can't understand it. Is there a problem?"

Wei Siwen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, the county magistrate can still understand elegant words."

Luo Shixing was a little surprised, this county magistrate could understand elegant words?

Wei Siwen didn't say much, he felt that the county magistrate was very ambitious. From the very beginning, he was able to exempt them from hard labor because they could read and write. This county magistrate had his own purpose.

He also wanted to learn the language of the Han nationality and the culture of the Central Plains like the Bai family, but Wei Siwen couldn't see his purpose yet.

Let's say he wants to build his hometown. It is said that Beidai County has been like this for ten years, and there have been no special changes since he came to power. Even if he became the county magistrate, it has only been two or three years.

But it doesn't seem to be the case to say that he doesn't want to control Beidai County, otherwise it would be impossible to compile the county chronicle.

However, he is very concerned about the development of the family, urging the children in the family to read and write.

Wei Siwen actually appreciates this kind of ambition. The county magistrate would only have a headache if he was really illiterate and stubborn.

Luo Shixing was slightly relieved, and Wei Siwen took him to see the county magistrate.
