Yamen servants come to your door

The vigilance cultivated since childhood made Ye Yuanxian wake up when those people were a hundred meters away, but he didn't know the purpose of these people, he thought they were going up the mountain, so he didn't care.

However, as those people went straight to the shack, Ye Yuanxian realized that something was wrong, got up and put on his clothes, and then woke up the idiot.He didn't think these people would be more polite;

Sure enough, those people pretended to knock on the fence and then pushed open the fence door at will. The head of the village strode in and shouted loudly: "Xie Yifeng, wake up, the elder in the government is here."

There were two strong men surrounded by the crowd behind him. The strong men wore uniform purple clothes, hats of the same shape on their heads, and a scabbard around their waists.

Looking at this posture, Ye Yuanxian knew that these people had missions on them, and seeing the imperceptible excitement of the village chief, he raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that something would happen again today.

But... Ye Yuanxian sneered in his heart, so what about the yamen servant, as long as he is a person, there is no one who does not love money, as long as the money is given, he would like to see if the yamen servant is helping the village chief or asking for money.

"Xie Yifeng, come out quickly." Seeing that the door of the hut was tightly closed, the village chief's face was very ugly, and his voice even shouted splitting.

"Yuanxian?" The fool didn't know why there were so many people outside, he held Ye Yuanxian's hand tightly, feeling very worried.

"Don't be afraid." Ye Yuanxian rubbed the fool's head casually, opened the door and did not go out, stood behind the door and looked out to everyone, with a calm expression: "The village chief may have found the wrong person, there is no one called "" Xie Yifeng". "

Seeing Ye Yuanxian's cold face, the village chief took a step back subconsciously. Since that day, he has had nightmares almost every night. It took a few days for him to ease up. As a result, when he saw Ye Yuanxian's face, he hid in the The fear in my heart surged up again somehow.

However, the two yamen servants behind him gave him infinite courage, and the village head straightened his waist and stepped forward and said loudly: "Xie Yifeng is a fool. Master is wrong?"

He was about to accuse Ye Yuanxian of being disrespectful to the government, but how could Ye Yuanxian do what he wanted:

"I don't know where the village chief came from. I just have this question. After all, the fool has settled down in Youluo Village for so many days, and no one has called his name on his household registration."

The village chief choked up, what would he call if he didn't call the name on the household registration?Shout a fool!But is this something that can be said right now?

The yamen servant saw that the two men's words didn't seem to be very gentle, so he pointed to the fool and asked: "Is he a soldier who retired from the battlefield a month ago, and he was settled in Youluo Village by the government?"

Ye Yuanxian nodded: "Yes, what can I advise you, sir?"

From Ye Yuanxian's demeanor and his speech and behavior, it can be seen that this person is not an ordinary countryman. Yamen servants often deal with all kinds of people, and the trick of watching people order dishes is to the extreme.Almost in the blink of an eye they had chosen an attitude.

The yamen servant took two steps forward and walked in front of the village head, with a gentle attitude: "That's right, his name on the household registration is "Xie Yifeng", maybe the village head forgot. "

Ye Yuanxian opened the door with a calm expression: "I see, please come in, both of you."

The yamen servant was not restrained, and after nodding, he went up the steps and entered the door.

Ye Yuanxian welcomed the two of them into the door, turned his head and looked at the village head and others who were about to follow with a smile that was not a smile, the village head was startled by his indifferent eyes for a moment, and immediately stood where he was, watching helplessly. The bamboo door closed in front of him.

The two yamen servants were straightforward, and as soon as they sat down, they checked with Ye Yuanxian with the latest household registration and land deeds belonging to the two of them.

The fool is a retired soldier, and according to today's policy of protecting the country, he should enjoy four acres of dry land and three acres of paddy fields. This is the emperor's extra sympathy for these soldiers who have stood on the frontier for many years.

"The two of you are in a special situation. Although you have just registered with one household, the spring harvest tax still needs to be collected by two people according to the regulations. You have to prepare in advance."

This sentence is to remind the two of them that as long as they have a household registration, they have to collect taxes according to the number of household registrations, even if they are just married.After all, if the time comes to collect taxes, if you really can't pay the money, you will go to jail.

Ye Yuanxian accepted this favor, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Baimian Yamen took over the household registration and title deed, and said with a gentle smile, "You don't need to be polite, my surname is Xu, his surname is Zhang, just call me Xu Yaya servant."

Ye Yuanxian naturally responded, and greeted the two of them to drink tea and eat pastries, and then inadvertently handed over something wrapped in red paper.

Sealed inside is two taels of silver.

Xu and Zhang, the two yamen servants, looked at each other after they started, and they were very satisfied after being surprised.It was only after seeing Ye Yuanxian's decent conversation that they felt a sense of fellowship in their hearts, so they were so polite.

Otherwise, with him being a villager, how could he make them treat each other peacefully?It's not bad to scold at all.

It's just that the two of them didn't expect that although the situation of this pair of Qi brothers was special, they were so generous. The two taels of silver was not a small amount, even if they received salaries all year round, they would not be so generous.

Xu and Zhang made people tacitly put the things wrapped in red paper in their arms, and their attitude towards Ye Yuanxian was more cautious.

Ye Yuanxian smiled and poured tea for the two of them again. He was greedy but knew how to control himself, and he didn't have too many bad intentions. Such a yamen servant is already very good.

The three talked about the house, and Ye Yuanxian said casually: "My brother Qi lost his sanity. We just formed a bond, so I don't know much about the house under his name." , if it is convenient for you two, can you take a look for me?"

"What's so difficult about it?" The yamen servant surnamed Zhang readily took out a volume of papers. The two of them were in charge of the big and small things in Pinghuai Town. The paperwork in their hands was copied verbatim from the county government. It was copied, and it was hard for others to know the division of the house, but for the two of them, it was only a matter of moving their fingers.

"Xie Yifeng, at the age of 23, can get one mu of house land."

Ye Yuanxian frowned slightly, this acre of house land was enough for ordinary people, but it was far from him.

"You two can find a way to get some more house land. My family is in a special situation. I'm afraid this mu is not enough."

The two yamen servants nodded: "Of course there are, but this..."

Ye Yuanxian's expression remained unchanged: "Although the two of you have said it clearly, I still need to ask you for a lot of help."

This is what it means to have no shortage of silver.

The two yamen servants have been in such places for a long time, and they are both like human spirits. After understanding Ye Yuanxian's meaning, they generously introduced: "Now that the war has just ended, the Holy Majesty has issued a decree to release the restrictions on the house. If you If you want more house land, you have to go to the county government to buy a land deed at the price of five taels of silver per mu."

Homesteads are different from ordinary fields. There are regulations on the number of houses for each household. If the area exceeds the prescribed area, extra money will be paid.

Moreover, the change of the house must be reported to the government so that it can be recorded in the household registration.

"So that's the case, then I would like to thank you two."

When the two yamen servants came out of Ye Yuanxian's shack, half an hour had passed, and the people waiting outside were impatient, but they were not good at showing it.

Seeing the two of them coming out, the village chief rushed up to meet them and asked, "My lords, is the matter settled?"

The two yamen servants, Zhang and Xu, paused for a moment, then slapped their heads suddenly, and said angrily: "Look at our memory, we even forgot to say something serious."

Afterwards, the two of them realized that they realized that all the topics they talked about were dominated by Ye Yuanxian from the moment they stepped into the shack, and they followed him away unconsciously.

The two yamen servants turned their heads and saw the handsome young man standing behind them with a calm smile on his face, they smiled helplessly and said, "I really forgot the original purpose of coming here this time."

As he spoke, he saw several villagers enter the yard with two sacks on their backs. The sacks were bulging and heavy.

"You must have read the notice on the city wall. The location of Youluo Village is good, and there are naturally places for trial planting of new seeds." Yamen Zhang smiled and pointed at the village chief: "The village chief recommended you two to me, and the others also It was unanimously agreed. I gave your family the quota for trial planting, you have to plant it well, and if the harvest is good, the county government will give you a big reward."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Yuanxian knew that trying to plant new species would not be an easy task, and seeing the joy and malice that everyone couldn't conceal, he had a plan in mind.

"If it's not good, what is the punishment?"

Yamen Zhang knew that he would have this question, and explained: "Although he didn't say it clearly, but according to the temperament of the magistrate and magistrate, he will definitely be scolded, and maybe he will be sent to a remote mountain."

In the past, several families in the village were dispatched to extremely remote and dangerous mountains by their county magistrates without completing their tasks.From that place to the current county, it takes five or six days to climb uphill, cross rivers, and cross dangerous ladders.

Ye Yuanxian looked at the village chief with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: So he was waiting here.Did the village chief feel that the village has nothing to do with him now, so he used the power of the county government to drive them away?

This trick of borrowing a knife to kill an envoy is really ingenious, if it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be as the village chief wished.

It's a pity that Ye Yuanxian is not an ordinary person, the wood spirit root in his body just coincides with the nature of wood, so it's the easiest thing to germinate.

Seeing that Ye Yuanxian did not answer for a long time, even though he was afraid of the oppression of his devouring eyes, the village head straightened his neck and said confidently: "Now in our village, only you and Sha and Xie Yifeng have a small family, and they have the energy to take care of you." The new seed, so I will give it to you two."

"Besides, Xie Yifeng has been fighting outside all year round, and he has seen much more customs and customs than us big bastards. Maybe he just knows how to grow corn and plant it in one go."

"That's right, that's the reason." Others also helped to speak, the purpose is to make Ye Yuanxian and the others unable to bear the pressure and take over this thankless job.

The two yamen servants saw some clues from the crowd, but it was decided that they couldn't make any changes, so they had to look at Ye Yuanxian to see how he would handle this matter.
