After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Looking over, these people either doubted Yan Muan or were worried about whether they could be selected. Some of them were dreaming of a successful career.

He looked back at the forms filled out by these people. The specialty column was really diverse. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched, "What are your specialties?"

Everyone looked at a boy, sixteen or seventeen years old, who was almost exactly the same as Yong Jiuye. The man stood up in a sullen tone, and before he could speak, he received a firm kick from Yongjiu Ye, "You bastard, I want you to Fill it out carefully, what did you fill in?"

My feet are also very long, how long are they?

After kicking him, he turned around and raised his hands to Yan Muan, "Princess, forgive me, this kid is ignorant, he wrote blindly."

Yan Mu'an was a little interested in those extra-long feet, "Pull up your trouser legs and let me see how long they are."

The boy got up from the ground and carefully stepped forward and stretched out his feet. Yan Muan took a look and said, "It is indeed quite long. It seems to be more truthful."

He is 1.6 meters tall and has 43 feet.

"Lin Xun, come and see if these people are suitable?"

Lin Xun and others came forward and sat behind the table prepared in advance, "Come forward when you call my name."

At this moment, Lin Xun and others were the interviewers and began to question these Yong family members in detail. Yan Muan and the three Yong family brothers were sitting aside. Facing Yan Muan's calmness, the three brothers were a little panicked and did not know what these things were. Is it possible?
Fortunately, the Yong family had its own school. Although they did not take the imperial examination, they were good at reading and writing. They also hired a martial arts master, who could do a lot of hand gestures, so they were not useless.

After spending two whole sticks of incense, Lin Xun and others had a conversation, and they implicitly said that they could only be a thug who could run errands. The three Yong brothers were very disappointed, but they were present during the entire interview process, so it was okay not to mention it.

Lin Xundao: "But if we have to do the next big thing, we can do it."

Doing big things?
The eyes of these people were bright. They thought they were going to be sent back, but they could actually do great things?

The three Yong brothers were also curious about what the big deal was, and Yan Muan didn't hide it from them, telling them to collect grain.

"This year you are all grain collectors. You have to go to different places to collect the tax grains one grain at a time. No grain is too little, but no grain is too much."

"The mansion will provide you with guards to make you look more majestic. This job is not difficult, but it will take some hardship."

"But you are the sons of the Yong family, and you have a share in the world of Southern Qi. You should protect the interests of the court. Only when the court is good, you will be better off."

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect that there would be such benefits. Being a grain collector would be so impressive.

Fresh!

A group of people were enjoying themselves, but the three Yong brothers realized that this matter was not simple, "I'm afraid the princess's move will cause endless troubles."

Yan Mu'an said: "This is a big abscess that can hardly be covered. Rather than letting it fester, it's better to pick it yourself."

"Have you ever seen the process of squeezing a pustule? Prick a little, and then apply force, and there will be an instant pain, and then the pus head will be squeezed out, and then there will be a burst of bleeding. Once the bleeding stops, it will soon form a scar. That's fine. ”

"If you don't squeeze, it will always hurt. If you squeeze, it will only hurt for a while. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." The three of them naturally understood this truth, but they were afraid that those in the city would do something wrong if their interests were touched. Yan Mu'an said with a smile: " Your Majesty has left thousands of troops for me, who should I be afraid of?"

The three of them stopped talking. If they had thousands of soldiers and horses, why wouldn't they be able to walk sideways?
No wonder the princess wasn't worried at all.

From this day on, the sons of the Yong family had to receive training at the palace every day. The girls from the Yong family also came. They came to learn the rules. Before Yan Muan saw them, he was still praying secretly, hoping that they would not inherit this trait from the Yong family. Genes from one branch breathed a sigh of relief when they saw people. Not to mention they were very beautiful, but they were all pretty girls.

"They are all really pretty and beautiful."

Mrs. Yong San and Mrs. Yong Wu who sent them here said with a smile: "These children in our family have their sons following their fathers and daughters following their mothers. People outside say that this is unlucky, but you must know that you can be reborn in the Yong family." It’s already a huge blessing.”

Mrs. Yongwu nodded repeatedly, "The girls in our house are well-educated. They have been indispensable since childhood. Now that they are as young as flowers, there are many families asking for marriage."

Although she didn't give birth to a daughter, it didn't stop her from liking other people's daughters. She looked at a group of girls happily and was satisfied no matter how she looked at them.

These girls didn't come empty-handed either. They all brought some small trinkets to Yan Mu'an, including purses and handkerchiefs they made by themselves. Yan Mu'an also accepted them one by one, and then asked Aunt Guan to take them down. Now that everyone is here, , we must start learning the rules from today.

The days passed very quickly. In the days without the widowed king, Yan Muan was not idle for a day. She was busy preparing for what she had to do next. She did not go to any of the invitations sent to her by various families outside. She only thought about them. I wonder how much food I can get this time.

The palace is very lively every day, and the families outside are even more curious and look down on Yan Mu'an. She feels that she is still toiling at home all day long when the man is not here. She also brought all the people from the Yong family to the palace, and they don't know what to do. What she was doing, there were even fewer posts about visiting her. Only Mrs. Wei was still running diligently, bringing news from outside to Yan Muan from time to time.

The autumn harvest is coming, and the government office has made preparations, and the warehouses where grains are stored have been packed away. Magistrate Yang once again told the grain collectors this time not to mess around, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. .

At this time, Manager Hua once again visited Magistrate Yang's door and stood in front of Magistrate Yang, "The princess has an order, please ask Magistrate Yang to recover the grain taxes owed by the Yongcheng gentry over the years, and request that all taxes be paid within three months." grain."

Magistrate Yang was panicking. How could he ask for this thing? He couldn't get it.

Manager Hua did not give him a chance to refuse, "The land in Yongcheng is fertile, but the grain tax every year is not satisfactory. This year is another good year, and the debts owed in previous years should be made up."

"The princess also ordered that the food tax be reduced by 30% this year."

Reducing grain taxes for no reason was what a princess said. Governor Yang did not dare to comply. "The reduction of grain taxes requires a decree from the imperial court. How dare a subordinate to make the decision without permission?"

Manager Hua smiled and said, "Prefect Yang, do you know how your grain collectors have collected grain taxes over the years? If you dare to meddle with grain taxes, it is a crime of beheading. Do you have to spit out the grain you are greedy for?" "

"In addition to what you recovered, the 30% will be made up. The prince and the princess are both kind people, and they also know that many things cannot be decided by Magistrate Yang. Now you are exchanging merit for guilt, and the prince can protect you. I didn’t say I could protect others.”

"This year's Grain Collector Princess has her own arrangements. You just need to send some reliable people to lead the way."

Magistrate Yang's heart was beating loudly, and he held his hands in fear, "I must follow the princess's instructions."

Manager Hua nodded with satisfaction, "Your Majesty is considerate of the people of Yongcheng. Regarding the 30% reduction in grain tax, you must draft a notice and post it as soon as possible. You must also inform the officials below. To ensure your safety, the princess specially sent a few good people to protect you. grown ups."

Behind Guanshi Hua were a few guards who looked like they were not easy to mess with. Magistrate Yang didn't understand anything. They were here to supervise and threaten him. He hurriedly began to thank him, thinking that this time he fell into the frying pan. Then The princess really didn't dare to look down upon her.
