Chapter 70
Every night when Zhi Ran had to do it, she sat on the pit and counted her daily income in detail.

At this time, the whole family always likes to laugh at her. She felt a little embarrassed at first, but then she gradually became proud and raised her fists and said proudly: "I am the richest person in our family. , hum!"

"It's really hard for our little sister to run around for the whole family." Yu Yan joked every time.

Fortunately, Zhiran has a very thick skin, and she can answer the words confidently to Shang Yuyan, "It's good that you know it, and you have to be nicer to me in the future, and don't hit me on the head any more."

Before the words fell, Zhi Ran was hit on the head again.

Originally, the days went by like this and it was very beautiful, but the sky did not follow people's wishes. On this day, the two sons of the village chief's family suddenly went from house to house to call everyone, saying that his father had something to tell everyone.

It was the first time Zhiran encountered this matter, she looked curious, and found that everyone in the village was there, and they seemed very disturbed.

Jun Hao and his mother were also there, and when they saw Zhi Ran and his party, they hurried over here.

"I'm afraid it's a bad thing." Junhao said with a frown.

Even though the marriage between Junhao and Xiyu is in shambles, Junhao's attitude towards Xiyu has not changed from the beginning to the end, and he can do whatever he wants.

From Zhiran's point of view, Junhao's only change in this matter may be that he has become a little stronger, especially when Xiyu rejected the picture he sent, it was the most obvious.

At this time, the surrounding area was bustling with discussions.

Village head Liu Weiye was standing on a mound of dirt and shouting to everyone: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

Most of the people in the village were quite obedient, and when the village chief shouted, they all fell silent.

I only heard the village chief Liu Weiye say: "Everyone, the gods have shown mercy these past few years. The weather has been good and the weather has been getting better and better. Every household has a small surplus of wealth. But now the world is not peaceful. I went to the town yesterday and got According to the news, everyone in our Liujia Village has to pay a part of the population tax, and everyone cannot afford less."

When the villagers heard this, their faces were a little ugly, and one of them asked loudly, "Just tell us how much each person wants to pay."

As soon as he finished speaking, other villagers also asked: "How much will we pay? We won't have any more."

Village head Liu Weiye coughed dryly, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Based on the head, everyone, no matter how big or small, pays [-] yuan."

As soon as he said this, almost everyone exploded, full of complaints, saying so much at once, who has so much money.Some people only have a few children. When they heard this number, they all counted with their fingers. The result of the calculation was naturally staggering, and their faces became depressed.

Seeing this, Liu Weiye could only bite the bullet and shout again: "It's okay if you don't have any money. If you have a strong man in your family, you can pay nine hundred yuan. This is the emperor's grace and greatness. We can choose for ourselves. You can decide whether to give money or money." Out of people."

Some rebellious villagers just "bah" and cursed: "The emperor's grace is so powerful, what else can you do besides talking about this, why the emperor wants us to pay for the war? We don't care who is the emperor in the world, we only need to pay for it." If you can live in peace, it is enough to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Young Master Huang, who had been following Zhiran and the others, felt his neck thicken when he heard it. He said coldly, "This is just in this remote village. If you were outside, if you said a word, your head would be taken off!"

The man who spoke was stubborn, thinking that the family would not be able to scoop up so much money, he continued to shout without fear of death: "What I said is just the truth, if you don't believe me, just ask anyone here, who doesn't think so?" Yes, you are here yelling poorly without even growing your hair, you are courting death."

Young Master Huang shot at the stubborn man with sharp eyes, and his hands tightened. Tang stood in front of him and said: "The common people's plans are nothing more than these, Young Master Huang must not be serious."

Zhiran looked left and right, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The relationship between Young Master Huang and their family is very strange. She asked Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang said that he did not know his identity.

But the Tang family didn't let their sisters get too close to Young Master Huang, but Yuyan and Young Master Huang were like happy friends, it was useless to say anything, they would quarrel when they met.

Just like now, looking at Young Master Huang's appearance, Yuyan still added insult to injury and said, "It's none of your business! Can you control what people say and say? It's really salty and easy to worry about."

Young Master Huang let out a sigh of relief, his pupils were full of helplessness, his eyelids were drooping, thinking about the stubborn man's words.

Yuyan pushed Young Master Huang unaccustomed, "Hey, Xiao Huang, why don't you talk?"

Young Master Huang glanced at Yuyan again, and continued to meditate.

Yuyan made fun of it, curled her lips and ignored him, but walked to the side and whispered to Zhiran, and the two whispered how much money her family should pay.

The dull atmosphere was overwhelming one after another, and soon someone thought of it and said: "If there is a real war, this time the money will be paid out once. If all kinds of taxes are pressed in the same way in the future, our life will not be as good. The law is over."

Zhiran heard this, her eyebrows furrowed deeply.

She also knew that if a war broke out, it would not be something that could be resolved in a day or two. After a long time, the treasury would be empty, and the emperor's hand would naturally extend to the people.

Their concerns are not without reason.

"Who is fighting with whom?" Zhiran's crisp voice sounded.

They only pay attention to the problem of money, but no one cares about it.

Zhiran just thought that her place was not far from Donglin Kingdom, and she was afraid that a war with Donglin Kingdom would cause trouble to them, so she asked a little.

But unexpectedly, the village head thought for a while and said: "I heard that it is with Donglin Kingdom, hey...Donglin Kingdom is very ambitious, so it has been peaceful for a few years, and then it will come back again."

Zhi Ran paused in her heart, she was really a good spirit but not a bad spirit.

"Mother, what should we do?" Zhiran looked at Tang and asked, if there was a war, only the emperor would be the safest.

Looking into the distance, Tang said slowly, "Let's see the situation in the future."

Zhi Ran thought the same way in her heart, after all her family bought so many fields here, she couldn't just leave them and run away!
Since Yanzhi made money, Zhiran bought dozens of acres of land one after another, and now their family has [-] acres of land, and they are just waiting for the autumn harvest to make a fortune.

No matter how the villagers complained, no matter how much they said, it would be in vain if the orders were issued from above, so they could only disperse and go home to discuss countermeasures.

On the way back, Young Master Huang was a little strangely silent, and Yu Yan surrounded him deliberately making fun of him and said, "What's wrong with you, don't act like you're concerned about the country and the people, you're not like that at all, okay?"
