Wearing a book, what about farming text? !

"Eh? This kid is really..." Mrs. He could only stand still and complain, but there was nothing else he could do. He looked around and saw that Mu Shao was the most reliable, he could fight at first glance.

"Xiao Mu, why don't you go and see An Yu with Da Jiang, and run out without knowing what happened outside. I don't feel at ease with him alone."

Between Lin Anyu and Aunt He, Mu Shao decisively chose to listen to Lin Anyu. Although Aunt He's cooking was delicious, he felt a little hungry after eating.But he was even more afraid of Lin Anyu's fist, and immediately shook his head and refused: "That's no good, the boss will be unhappy when he comes back later."

What's more, the one who can defeat him like the boss has not yet been born, and Mu Shao firmly believes in this.

"Aunt He, let's take the rice back first, and I'll go over and have a look when you all go home." Song Qun said, gathering up the straw with millet on the ground and picking it back together.

……

Dozens of people had gathered at the entrance of the village. It was time to harvest crops in the fields, and most of the village's families were outside.As soon as he heard this seemingly familiar voice, he immediately grabbed the sickle in his hand and rushed over there.The nearer ones have arrived, and the farther ones are still on their way.

After Lin Anyu arrived, he didn't need to search much, he could see the people from Stone Village surrounded by a circle.After he squeezed past, he saw blood dripping from Uncle Cao's forehead, which stained the right side of his face red.Cao's aunt was covering his forehead with trembling hands to stop the blood from bleeding too fast, her face was full of panic and bewilderment.

On the other side, there were a few arrogant strangers standing there. Judging by their clothes, they should be official servants.Therefore, even if the people from Stone Village surrounded them, they didn't dare to do anything. They could only stare at each other like this, hoping that these officials would restrain themselves because of their large numbers, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Why don't your village chiefs come here? Are you having a great time!" the officer roared, watching the crowd glaring at them one by one. The villagers in this country are really ignorant, as long as they are officials, they dare not fart. .He was really impatient to wait here, and the weather was really uncomfortable for him, so when he finished here, he would stay at home and not go anywhere.

Cao Laoer dared not speak out, but he had to bow his head to comfort him when he heard this. "That...Master, we've already hired someone, and we'll be here soon, soon."

"Uncle Wang, what's going on?" Lin Anyu patted Wang Dong who was standing beside him and asked.

"It's hard, it's hard." Wang Dong, the son of Uncle Wang, shook his head and said in a low voice, "Is there any outsiders in front? They are the officials. I didn't hear clearly what happened. It’s just that when we first came here, it was already like this. It seems that it’s about taxation or something, and these officials didn’t say a word, they only said that we should bring the village chief here, surely they don’t want to talk to us, right?”

Listening to these words, Lin Anyu looked up and down the people who came, and there were only three people who dared to shout among dozens of people.It seems that the clothes and the knife in their hands gave them courage, but if you look closely, you can find the guilt in their eyes, especially the two people standing behind, their eyes can't help looking left and right.

Maybe this is the reason why they don't talk to the villagers, not because they disdain, but because they don't dare.The villagers would fight if they were in a hurry. The three of them couldn't beat them, even with a knife, but the village chief had a lot of worries, so he wouldn't do it easily.

Lin Anyu narrowed his eyes. It is definitely not a good thing to think of them at this time.It's just that the blood on Uncle Cao's face next to him hasn't dried yet, so it's not good.

"Here we come, here we come. The village chief is here!" The faces of the people in Shitou Village showed a trace of relaxation. It was obvious that the village chief was very reliable in their eyes, and even a strong man showed a hint of joy.

Lin Wantian walked in from the way out of the crowd, cupped his hands and smiled kindly: "Below is Lin Wantian, the head of Stone Village. I don't know why the official came?"

The leading official seemed to be in a better mood, and was finally willing to look at the old man. "Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. The county magistrate has an order to collect land taxes..."

"Impossible!" Cao Er Er exclaimed, they had never heard of this, why did they suddenly, just... change their minds, could the court still swallow what they said?

The officer's face suddenly fell, and he said in a sinister tone: "Could it be that your stone village is going to resist the order, and even dare to question the words of the government!"

"No, sir, this old man Cao is not very smart. Your lord has a lot, so don't argue with such a fool." Lin Wantian hurriedly begged for forgiveness. People don't fight with officials. Also dare not provoke.

"It's just..." Lin Wantian carefully looked at the other person's face, preparing to stop talking when the other person changed his face. "Didn't the imperial court decree a while ago that all taxes on our land have been exempted this year, but why..."

Lin Wantian still didn't dare to say the last words, but the other party also understood his unfinished words.It's just that what I didn't expect was that the official was not only not angry, but also laughed.The villagers were at a loss, not knowing what was so funny about it.

After the officer laughed, he said as if giving alms: "Yes, that's right, the imperial court issued this order before, but now the entire Yan Dynasty is like this, so the county magistrate feels that this is actually unfair. But you At any rate, it is different from other places, this year only needs to pay [-]% of the tax, this is the kindness of the county magistrate, don't say you can't even pay the [-]%!"

As long as [-]% is enough, it can be said that everyone can hand it over. According to the grain harvested by Lin Anyu's family, there will be three-fifths left after handing over, but so what?Could it be that they don't need to eat after paying the rations, and they can survive until next year only by eating the wind and drinking the dew?Impossible, so when the words came out, everyone fell silent, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't do it.

The grain in the field has not been collected, and it has grown wings and flew away before taking a second look. This is not good for anyone.

"Since you say you won't hand it over, then you won't hand it over! Could it be that your county magistrate is bigger than the emperor, he dares to change the orders of the emperor!" Boss Cao jumped up in a rage, wanting to fight with the other party, thinking The expression of eating the other party raw.

The three officials took a step back in fright, and grabbed a person to stand in front of them. It happened to be Cao Laoer who was standing beside him.

Boss Cao was held back by his wife for a while, and after being thrown away in a hurry, he was stopped by the second Cao, even more furious.He wanted to kill this person, but his family blocked him, and even the villagers didn't do it yet.

"Boss Cao, what are you trying to do? Why don't you take him back quickly and look at the blood on his face? Are you afraid that something will happen to him?" The village head scolded angrily, even if he didn't want to agree, but the matter is not What did you do?He still wanted to ask what was going on, but now that Boss Cao had offended the officials, he would definitely not show mercy to them.

Lin Wantian looked at the faces of the officials, it really wasn't very good, he could see that the bottom of the pot was black, he tried hard to think of a solution, this Boss Cao really offended people, alas, he knew The Cao family had a hard time, but who is not in trouble now?

Lin Anyu looked at the scene on the field and didn't intervene indiscriminately, always feeling that there was something wrong with the situation.Lin Wantian was still trying his best to explain to the official. After all the talk, the other party finally ignored Cao Boss' fault.It's just that the land tax was determined not to let go, only saying that it was ordered by the county magistrate, and they just followed the orders from above and had no right to it.

People from Stone Village arrived one after another, but even hundreds of people did not dare to have any objections to this.It's just that they are not afraid of the three of them, but what they represent behind them is the imperial court. Thinking of this, no one dares to refute.At this moment, only the voice of the village chief complaining, and the official scolding became more and more impatient.

"My lord, even if we want to hand it over now, we can't do it. The rice has just come out of the field, and it hasn't been threshed or dried, so we can't hand it in at all." Lin Anyu put on the simple and honest expression at the beginning, as if it was true. What he said was that he was distressed by this, but he was actually staring at the other person's expression carefully.

"Boy from the Lin family." Wang Dong tugged his sleeves and told him to stop talking in a low voice. At this moment, he hoped that the officials would change their minds. Maybe the village chief would succeed. He looked at them carefully, fearing that they would get angry. .

What's more, if the official said this seriously, those who were hesitant at first would feel that he was all to blame for speaking, otherwise they might not have to pay in the end. This is something that offends people. The elders are all here, but there is no one to speak?As for Lin Dajiang, he didn't take good care of this child at this time, and dared to speak at this time.

Lin Anyu ignored the voice next to him, and stared closely at the three officials.

"Of course not now. You should prepare now. We will collect it at this time tomorrow night. Don't make any excuses! Otherwise, I will let you see what will happen to those who defy the government." Yiliang, then said with a sneer: "I don't think you guys would want to go to the prison to try what it's like."

"Of course not, of course not!" Lin Wantian assured, feeling that the people in his village were not at ease, alas, he was getting old, and he didn't want to take the position of village chief anymore, he was just doing things for others up.

However, Lin Anyu raised the corners of his lips. He already felt that something was wrong with these three people.Sure enough, the excitement and greed that flashed in his eyes after hearing that he had agreed just now was not fake.

This is not the case with normal tax collection. The tax goes to the treasury and has nothing to do with them.That being the case, it must be because they can get great benefits from it.

Now that they got an affirmative answer, they didn't have to waste time here, and were sent out respectfully by the village chief.

"How rich do you think you are when you have two acres of land? If you say you pay taxes, you are really generous. If you are really so generous, why don't you pay the taxes for us?" Lin Laosan, who lives far away, said angrily. , being watched by Lin Anyu's cold eyes, he abruptly blocked the bah back, and left resentfully.

"Alas..." Wang Dong patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say, but it was too late to say anything now, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I have my own measure." Lin Anyu comforted him. If he guessed right, then the crisis would be resolved. If he guessed wrong, it would just be settled in advance. The people in their stone village said a few good things, and then forgot about the business.It's not a problem to be in a stalemate here all the time. If the other party is narrow-minded and fiddles with the weighing, the villagers will really not be able to cry.

"You have a fart!" Lin Wantian, who just came back, heard this and couldn't help cursing.But thinking about it, there seems to be no other way. I guess it was the same result in the end. I was a little disheartened, and waved my hand and said: "Forget it, don't do this next time, just stand behind and watch."

"I remember." Lin Anyu said sincerely, he still had a good impression of the village chief.As for remembering, if you can do it or not, you will see what is going on, well, let's promise first and then talk about it.

"At this time, the field has to be done faster, otherwise the officials will blame me for not handing over the grain tomorrow. You go to work first, I won't bother you, and I will go back and have a look."

Out of the corner of Lin Anyu's eyes, he saw Song Qun's figure in the distance. He was supposed to stay by his parents' side, but he came here at this moment, worried about what happened.After talking to the two of them, he ran towards Song Qun.

"Uncle He and Aunt He have gone home. Mu Shao is watching at home, so don't worry. Aunt He and the others are worried about you being alone, so I'll come and take a look." Song Qun didn't wait for Lin Anyu to ask, and told the matter The explanation is clear in one brain.

Since it was fine, Lin Anyu was relieved, and it happened that Song Qun came to do him a favor. "Go back and tell them that it's nothing serious. It's just that the government is going to collect taxes again. Now they have left. I have something to go out here. I won't go back for the time being. Let them not worry."

Song Qun just arrived at the place and was kicked back again, but at this time, he was sure that the boss was fine, which made him happy.

After he left, Lin Anyu turned around and ran out of the village, chasing after the people who had just left outside the village.

There is only one road from Stone Village to the outside, even if Lin Anyu came out a long time late, he didn't worry about losing people.Sure enough, according to Lin Anyu's speed, he caught up with several people in a short while.

The three official servants seemed to follow the village more recklessly on the road, and even had a smell of steam, laughing loudly on the deserted road.

"Brother, your trick is really powerful, and this villager is really stupid, he will believe everything he says."

Lin Anyu raised his eyebrows. There are still such people. He has lived for a long time and can see all kinds of forests.But it's not a good idea to lie to him.

The leading elder brother was quite proud: "Of course, you don't even look at who your elder brother is. Following me can not only fill you up, but also eat delicious food and drink spicy food. You can get whatever you want."

"Yes, yes! The official clothes are really useful. This is the fifth village we have cheated. When I think that they will be gone in a few days, I feel like a pity. Otherwise, the clothes will not be returned. Bar?"

"That's no good. This clothes belong to my brother. I asked him to borrow it from the yamen servant who was working together. You are fine. If you don't return the clothes, then my brother is still working in the yamen." The elder brother shook his head immediately.

"Oh, it's a pity. But why don't we charge [-]%? This [-]% is too cheap for them!"

"Why are you two so stupid? If you pay 100%, they can still live by tightening their belts. If you struggle for a while, you will definitely agree. But charging [-]% is equivalent to cutting off their food and killing them. Since they can't survive, then they can't live." Don’t fight you hard. If you can beat those [-] people, then you can try to say that in front of them.”

It's alright, there's no need for Lin Anyu to inquire, these people started discussing on the road.They can be dealt with now, but thinking of the batch of food cheated back, it won't be too late when they get home.

But Lin Anyu didn't wait long. Hearing what these people said, one of them must live in the county town, but he didn't expect them to turn a corner on the road and go another way.

Drilling through the woods, a few people removed the shelter from years ago, and there was actually a cave inside.

"Hey, with so much food, it makes me happy just looking at it."

"Don't rush to be happy, there will be more happy things in the future. Now the food is still rising, and the price will be higher after a while. If we sell all these, we can exchange a lot of money. At that time, don't you want to buy it? Buy whatever you want."

"Hey hey, what big brother said is right."

"Come on, come on, take a small bag home each person, the things outside are really expensive, we also take it home to eat, so as not to buy it from profiteers, the price is extremely expensive."

"Thank you, brother." There was a rustling voice inside, and then the sound of footsteps gradually came out.

Lin Anyu waited outside, and after hearing the approaching voice, he hid more carefully.

After the three of them appeared, Lin Anyu was not in a hurry to make a move. When the last person passed by, Lin Anyu suddenly stretched out his hands and put his arms around his neck.With a click, the man fell limply, the bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the unhulled rice scattered from the bag.

"What, did you fall? Did you exert too much force on the mother-in-law, your legs are weak?" The person in front mocked, but turned to see if he was okay.

At the moment when he turned his head, Lin Anyu also dealt with him in the same way as before.Only the big brother was left, suddenly felt something wrong, and ran away without looking back, but his speed was simply not comparable to that of Lin Anyu, and he was overtaken in an instant. In the end, he could only widen his eyes, not knowing who the opponent was do not know either.

Lin Anyu put down his hands, ignored these people, and walked into the cave.
