Chapter 86
After roaring at Li Zheng Yitong, he turned his head and looked at Shi Yun kindly,

"Oh, girl, don't be sad, my old man, he is like this.

With a straight face all day, as if someone owes him money, he is not aimed at you.

I usually do the same to me. I miss you girl. I don't have a daughter myself. You will often come and see my aunt when you have time in the future.

My aunt cooks delicious food for you. It's not my praise. The chef of the restaurant can't compare with aunt's craftsmanship. "

"Really, that's great, auntie, you can call me Shiyun, I'll definitely come to disturb you when I'm free in the future, and try your craftsmanship, hee hee."

"Okay, okay, Shiyun, what a nice name, you can just call me Aunt Meng, I listen very kindly!"

The two of them chatted with each other as air, and they were even about to agree on the time for their next visit.

"Okay, let's go, the county magistrate will go to the office later."

"Yes, yes, Shiyun, go and do your business first."

After the aunt graciously told Tang Shiyun, she turned her head and looked at Lizheng with a stern face, "You must do a good job with Shiyun, or I will not finish with you."

Tang Shiyun watched from the side, smacking her lips, not to mention, Aunt Meng's serious face looks a lot like Li Zheng, worthy of being a husband and wife.

"You!!! It's unreasonable." Li Zheng saw that Aunt Neng was in front of outsiders, so she didn't give herself face, she threw her sleeves angrily, and turned to go out.

"Humph!" Aunt Meng snorted arrogantly, turned around and stroked Tang Shiyun's hair amiably, "Come on, don't delay, come and see Auntie when you have time."

"Hey, auntie, don't worry, I'll come another day."

After Tang Shiyun finished speaking, she turned around and left.Xiaobao followed obediently.

Shuanzi and Village Chief Liu froze and followed Tang Shiyun sluggishly.

The brains of the two of them haven't reacted yet.

Don't know how things turned out like this.

Shuanzi never imagined that Shi Yun was so powerful.

The effort at this moment has not only solved the wasteland problem, but also got along so well with Mrs. Lizheng.

After getting the other party's fancy, they even agreed to come often in the future.

And judging from the way he was getting along with his wife just now.

I'm afraid it's not all his wife who has the final say in this family, darling, Shi Yun has a relationship with the Lizheng family.

Village Chief Liu thought that Li Zheng, who he knew before, was particularly imposing and shrewd in front of everyone.

I didn't expect to listen to the lady's words so much at home.

His wife was fierce against him, and she turned her face, but she just avoided and dared not refute.

Village Chief Liu was speechless.

'This little girl is amazing, she just came here, bought some snacks, and bought Lizheng's wife. It seems that their family can't offend her in the future. '

As soon as Tang Shiyun came out of the gate, she saw Li Zheng sitting alone on the ox cart, holding her chest with her arms and squatting.

'I didn't expect Li Zheng, who looked serious and difficult to get along with, to be strict with his wife. '

The corners of her mouth pursed slightly, Tang Shiyun held back her smile and didn't say much, but don't make the arrogant Li Zheng anxious.

"Brother Shuan, let's go."

Shuanzi drove the car and arrived at the gate of the county government smoothly all the way.

Looking at the familiar place in front of her, Tang Shiyun was full of thoughts. The last time she came, she was still confused about the future, but this time it was completely different.

"Shi Yun? Go."

Seeing that Li Zheng was already talking to the guard at the gate of the county government office, while Tang Shiyun was still standing with Xiao Bao, Shuanzi urged in a puzzled way.

"Here." Tang Shiyun caught up with Shuan with a big smile.

The days are getting better.

One of the guards stopped Li Zheng, "What are you doing here?"

"I am Lizheng Mengping in the jurisdiction of Lingyun Town, and I am asking to see the magistrate."

"Wait, I'll ask."

Tang Shiyun thought to herself, it turned out that her name was Meng Ping.

After a while, the guard came back.

"Come in, your lord is in the main hall."

"Thank you."

"Ouch, sister, my stomach hurts." Little Treasure, who was following along well, suddenly turned pale and covered his stomach, looking uncomfortable.

Tang Shiyun hurriedly supported Xiaobao, "What's the matter, what's going on? Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?"

"Sister, I want to go to the thatched hut."

"Is it alright to go to the thatched hut? Could it be that I ate something, or I'll take you to the hospital?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, I seem to have eaten too much."

Tang Shiyun thought that Xiaobao had been letting herself serve him vegetables in the morning, thinking that he had been working hard these days, and everyone felt thin, so she didn't refuse.

I didn't expect it to be because of myself, "I see if you will eat so much in the future. You are such an adult, don't you know if you are full?"

Little Treasure's pale face, frowning coquettishly, "Sister~ Little Treasure is so uncomfortable."

Seeing him like this, Tang Shiyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother guard, I don't know if there is a thatched hut here, my brother is not very comfortable."

Originally, other people were worried about Xiaobao's sudden change, but now they are relieved to know that they are just suffering.

The guard also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, someone had an accident at the gate of the county office, and it was not a good thing after all.

"Yes, yes, in the backyard, let me take you there. The road in the courtyard is remote and hard to find, and it is reasonable to say that people are not allowed to walk around."

Then, the guard explained to the other guard who was guarding the gate, and helped Xiaobao away.

Knowing the reason for Xiaobao's discomfort, Tang Shiyun is no longer worried.

"Uncle Li Zheng, shall we go in?"

"Okay, let's go."

Meng Li was bringing Tang Shiyun and a few people to the hall familiarly.

Tang Shiyun saw a man about 1.8 meters tall, wearing an official uniform, about 30 years old, sitting on the front seat.

This should be the magistrate of Zhaoyang City.

Meng Li was walking into the hall, and when he saw the magistrate, he leaned over and gave a salute, "Meng Ping, a small man, meet the magistrate."

Tang Shiyun and several others also followed Meng Ping's example and saluted.

The magistrate waved his hand, "Don't be too polite, is there something wrong with Meng Lizheng?"

"Sir, there is indeed something that needs your testimony."

"Oh? What's the matter." The county magistrate was puzzled.

"The girl behind me, Tang Shiyun, is the one who escaped from the famine and settled in Daling Village. She wants to buy fruit trees in the back mountain of Daling Village.

However, considering that the back mountain is special and there is no such precedent, I suggested that she use the wasteland near Daling Village to plant fruit trees.

So I brought her to ask the adult's opinion, I don't know if it's okay? "

The county magistrate thought for a while, "It would be a waste if the barren hills were always abandoned. I wonder what Miss Tang thought?"

Tang Shiyun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as you know, I am going to use it to plant fruit trees, but the wasteland itself has to be taxed.

But my fruit trees won't be harvested for the first two years. If I have to pay taxes, I can't pay it at all. "

"What you said does make sense. Planting fruit trees cannot be confused with planting grain. Otherwise, I will give you tax exemption for the first five years."

The magistrate considered that it is a good thing that someone is willing to use wasteland. After all, there are so many places in Zhaoyang City, and there are countless wasteland.

If all this is used, will you worry that everyone will not be able to eat or wear clothes?
Moreover, if this Tang Shiyun is really capable, maybe more people will be willing to learn from her.

Whether it is planting fruit trees or other, as long as these wastelands can be used, it is better than wasting long grass there.

For this reason, the county magistrate generously exempted Tang Shiyun from tax for five years.

At the same time, it can be regarded as an example for others, so that everyone knows that there is still this way to make themselves better.

Tang Shiyun looked at the county magistrate with an embarrassed look, "This... the county magistrate, in five years, it is too..."

"Just tell me what you think, don't beat around the bush. It's a good thing that you make use of the wasteland. As long as the county can do it, it will naturally support you."

"Hey. First of all, thank the magistrate." Tang Shiyun smiled and thanked.

Then he organized some language and said, "Sir, county magistrate, this kind of fruit tree is not a matter of one or two years. If it is planted, as long as the fruit tree does not die, it will be fine for ten or twenty years.

So now you only exempt me from tax for five years, but in four or five years, my fruit trees are just beginning to bear fruit.

Who can tell what happened five years later, if it rises in the future, I can't pull up all the fruit trees, right?

Of course, it's not that I don't trust adults, it's just that things are impermanent, and who knows what will happen in five years.

Maybe when the time comes, you will be promoted, and I will only stare at the fruit trees in the ground dumbfounded. What can I do? "

After listening to Tang Shiyun's words, the county magistrate looked at Tang Shiyun with a half smile.

Tang Shiyun was not timid either, she looked at the county magistrate calmly in front of her eyes, and was not at all afraid of what she had just said.

In fact, Tang Shiyun also considered that since the county magistrate can accept refugees, he even proposed to use wasteland, and directly stated that he could be exempted from tax for five years.

I just knew that this county magistrate was willing to think about the people, not the kind of corrupt and traitorous officials, that's why he dared to speak like this.

"Then what do you want?" The county magistrate looked at the daring little girl in front of him and said with a half-smile.

"Of course it's best to keep tax free." Tang Shiyun blurted out.

The magistrate laughed, "Do you want me to give you a few more acres of fertile land?"

"Hey! Just kidding. I mean, of course, the more the better, my lord, what do you think of 30 years? Tax-free for 30 years."

The county magistrate did not answer Tang Shiyun's words, but asked another question, "How much are you going to plant?"

"Well, this, the adults also know that we don't have much money in the hands of fleeing the famine, so I should first plant a few acres of land, and when the hands are rich, it will continue to increase."

The county magistrate pondered for a while, "Are you sure you will plant fruit trees? You must know that fruit trees were not planted before.

Even if some of them are well planted, they will rot in the ground because they can’t be sold. In the end, they will either let it go, or they will lose their money. I remember that there was a family that planted fruit trees in Daling Village before. "

"I know what the lord said, but the most important thing is that the tree is sick and worms eat the fruit, and then there is the problem of sales.

Before the fruit problem, my family used to grow fruit trees, and there was a secret recipe to make the fruit big and sweet.

As for the sales issue, it is indeed an issue that needs to be considered, and I am still trying to figure this out for the time being. "Tang Shiyun explained her thoughts.

The county magistrate looked at Tang Shiyun with a half-smile, this little girl is really smart, she seems to have said a lot, but in fact she didn't say anything.

"Forget it, since you are confident, I won't say much. Well, I have a request."

"Sir, please speak."

"Looking at your appearance, the range of tree species must be relatively large, so you probably need workers, right?

My request is that as long as you give priority to villagers in Daling Village or nearby villages when you recruit workers in the future, I will exempt you from taxes for 40 years. "

"My lord, is it true? You can really not pay taxes for 40 years."

"It's natural. Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow a horse. If you don't believe it, if you don't feel relieved, I can sign an agreement for you, and the yamen can also recite it."

"I'm naturally at ease with you, lord. But regarding recruitment, I can only guarantee that the people in the village will be given priority. I hope your lord can understand."

"I understand, it's just a priority. If the villagers in the village are what you want, I hope you will give them priority."

"Okay, I agree to the conditions of your lord."

"Then I'll ask Master to write an agreement for you. You all sit and wait for a while."

The county magistrate summoned the arresting head from outside the door, "Go and call the master, and have the pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready."

"Yes, my lord."

When the catcher left, the county magistrate looked at Tang Shiyun leisurely, "The little girl is very courageous. I dared to start planting fruit trees as soon as I settled here, are you not afraid of losing money?"

Tang Shiyun pretended to be pitiful and said, "Hey, isn't this a deserted place? I can't help it. If I don't want to do something, how can I live?"

The county magistrate gave her a speechless look, this clumsy acting, "If you do this, you can also encourage people who fled from the famine to think about how to make money.

Instead of waiting for the county government's help, after all, it can help for a while, but not forever.

If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. If the fruit is not easy to sell, I can also try to contact Fucheng for you. "

"Thank you, magistrate."

Tang Shiyun and the county magistrate looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.

"I'm going to wait for my sister?"

"Your sister is here."

"Really? Sister is really here? Don't lie to me, Xiaobao is smart."

As soon as the hall became quiet, there were no voices coming from outside the door.

Tang Shiyun listened vaguely, feeling that it was Xiaobao's voice, and hurriedly stood up.

People outside the door have entered the hall.

"Sister! Sister!"

Xiaobao jumped up happily, hugged Tang Shiyun, kept rubbing her head against Tang Shiyun's neck, and kept screaming.

Seeing him like this, Tang Shiyun hugged Xiaobao distressedly, and stroked Xiaobao's back with her hands from top to bottom, trying to comfort him.

And the two people who came in immediately behind Xiaobao, watching Xiaobao naturally threw himself into Tang Shiyun's arms, acting coquettishly and begging for comfort, all widened their eyes in shock.

"Lord...Master...this..."
