After Chu Junze finished washing up, the two came to the back mountain as usual, but they didn't notice that there was a small tail behind them.

"I went to the town today and saw an announcement from the county government saying that three days later, people would come door-to-door asking for food tax."

"If you don't pay it, the male in the family will be arrested and confiscated."

Gouzi's face was ugly, his fists were clenched, and his veins were bruised.

It is really unimaginable that this is the county government that manages them, so disregarding the lives of the people.

The reason why he is so angry is because he has seen how these officials spend their lives, eating, drinking and having fun with the hard-earned money of the people, and have not fulfilled their obligations as officials at all!

Chu Junze's eyes were heavy, and he was not surprised by this.

He has long seen this corrupt dynasty clearly.

A slight sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this expression, Gouzi sighed, with a look of pity on his face, "If...if it wasn't for that, brother Chu would actually be able to pass the imperial examination to become an official."

"Stop talking about it!" Chu Junze scolded, "That incident has passed, and I don't want to mention it again, just pretend it never happened."

"Okay." Gouzi looked at Chu Junze guiltily. He was the one who talked too much, and once again uncovered Brother Chu's scar.

So he changed the subject and said, "What about the food tax after three days? Once officers and soldiers enter our village, they will find out about the food, and it may not be possible to hide it by then."

"Not only our village will become the target of public criticism, but more importantly, sister-in-law, they will take her away."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Junze's originally calm face cracked a mark, and a faint hostility spread out, even he didn't notice it.

"They dare!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Junze realized that something was wrong, looked at the dog next to him, and found that the other party did not respond, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You go back first, I will talk to you when I think of a countermeasure. , just don’t mention it to others beforehand.”

Gouzi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"

After the two left, Gu Qianqian got out from the bushes behind them, with two grasses on top of his head, squinting his eyes and staring at the direction in which the two walked away.

Why can't they understand what they said?Could it be that there is something she doesn't know?But that's right, she didn't watch the second half.

Food tax?Could it be the announcement from the county government a few days ago?There must be a new situation, and it is not good for them.

However, before, she was still wondering why the villain had such deep resentment towards the imperial court, and even set up his own family to overthrow the imperial court.

It seems that she has the answer. It must be what happened before, which is not revealed until the end of the book. This is also the reason why the villain is blackened.

Obviously, the big villain had participated in the imperial examination, and his grades were quite good, and he was able to earn an official position, but for some reason he didn't achieve it.

That is to say, if she can eradicate the root of the villain's blackness, he will not be blackened, and maybe she can really live like this for a lifetime without leaving.

Thinking flashed across Gu Qianqian's eyes, and he walked back while thinking.

She has to think about it and think of a surefire plan.

Back home, Gu Qianqian went to see her backyard full of vegetables, including the most basic onions, ginger, garlic, wheat, and cucumbers.

Cucumbers are only a little planted because it's not sure if they will grow.

Chu Dashan built a simple shelf and wrapped cucumber vines around it, which has become more and more green these days.

Looks like it's about to end.

Now the Chu family has become accustomed to Gu Qianqian's sudden appearance of strange things.

As long as she said it was delicious, it was delicious.

So things that are novel to others are very common in the Chu family.

"That! Over there!" Gu Qianqian held a branch in his hand, just like a teacher holding a pole.

Pointing at Chu Junze was actually asking him to pull out the weeds in the vegetable field.

So as not to absorb the nutrition of other vegetables.

Chu Junze's face was dark, he couldn't understand why he listened to Gu Qianqian and let her manipulate him.

Gu Qianqian replied, "Because I know how to farm better than you."

At this time, Chu Chengfeng ran out thumping, and said to Gu Qianqian, "Sister-in-law, there are worms growing in the flour! Is it broken?"

insect?

Chu Chengfeng explained again: "It's the kind that is small, but has two beards, short."

Chu Chengfeng took out his hands, trying to show Gu Qianqian as best he could, but the performance was completely different.

But Gu Qianqian understood.

Flour does grow worms under certain conditions.

This is no surprise in modern times.

Gu Qianqian touched Chu Chengfeng's small head.

Although this child is only a few years older than his younger sister Chu Jiahui, he is much more mature and sensible.

The hair is combed slippery and feels strangely comfortable.

"I gonna go see."

Gu Qianqian came to the big tank where the food was stored, and looked inside, and there were indeed many small bugs.

I stretched out my hand and pulled it, it was quite a lot.

Can't help thinking, since this situation has already happened in their family, it should be the same for other people, why didn't anyone say it?

It just so happened that an old lady who had just moved in next door moved a stool and was going out to chat as usual.

Now that there is no need to worry about food, the worries of these elderly people are reduced by half, and they just want to live the rest of their lives well.

Gu Qianqian called her to stop: "Grandma!"

"Hey~" The dizzy-eyed old lady squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Qianqian vigorously, revealing two rows of toothless gums when she smiled.

Gu Qianqian liked this grandma very much, it reminded her of her grandma who had passed away in modern times.

"Grandma, is your flour okay?"

Grandma was alone. His son, grandson and other relatives died on the way to exile.

Grandma's eyes became so bad because of them.

So in order to take care of Grandma, Gu Qianqian discussed with Chu Junze to give her some food, which happened to be close and there was a support.

"Okay! Okay! What's the matter, Gu girl?"

"It's okay, it's just that my flour is full of bugs."

"Oh, that." Grandma said with a smile: "There is no food that does not grow worms, not to mention the white flour, the worms will definitely like it."

Gu Qianqian seemed to understand something, and asked incredulously, "Grandma, did you eat those bugs too?"

"Yes." Grandma answered naturally.

On the other hand, she said to Gu Qianqian earnestly, "You child! You must be unwilling to eat, right?"

Grandma pursed her lips, thinking of an old urchin.

"What are those bugs? We didn't even have the bugs we wanted to eat before! Now we finally have food and flour that we have never seen before."

"Although you discovered it, girl, you still can't dislike food!"

"If there were these bugs in the past, my son and the others might not have to die. Unfortunately, at that time, they could only eat tree bark and gnaw dirt..."

Gu Qianqian looked at her tearful eyes, only then realized that she had said something wrong.
