Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 79

Feng Dafu continued to say with a thoughtful look, "As long as we merchants donate a certain amount of money, we can give one of the places to take the exam.

So son, you study hard, and you don’t have to worry about things in the business world all the time. I will donate money to you for a place in the spring test next year, so that you can get fame. Look down on us. "

"Father, I..." When it came to fame, Feng Yushan's tone was much lower.

"Okay, okay, just work hard, but now you have to remember, you can't just listen to your mother in everything, her niece is not worthy to be your wife at all, an ignorant woman from the countryside, who doesn't even know big characters A few, it would be embarrassing to be a concubine.

As for the candidate for your first wife, I already have someone. I will ask someone to go to her house to propose marriage in a few days. Regardless of status, she is worthy of you, and can help you in your career and official career. "

Feng Dafu thought about it while talking, thinking that when he went back tonight, he would ask his wife to drive those two country rogues back, so as not to stir up trouble here.

……

Tong Xiaowu, Feng Yuchen and An Luo entered the yamen, and the yamen officer asked and went inside to report...

At this time, the county magistrate was talking to several farmers about the purchase of cotton this year. He heard that Fan Liang, a big cotton harvester in previous years, suddenly ran away. These cotton farmers had come here to sue several times.

Seeing that it was the season of picking cotton, the merchants who harvested the cotton ran away. Who did they sell their cotton to?How can they live if they can't sell it?
As the head of a county, how could he watch the cotton farmers in his county's year's efforts go to waste.

A cotton farmer has already reported that Fan Liang's big boss behind the scenes is Feng Dafu of Fengruibu Village. He also interrogated him several times and warned him both openly and secretly, but he refused to admit it.

In addition, the cotton farmer's purchase contract was signed with Fan Liang, and without proof, he had nothing to do with Feng Dafu.

The yamen servant came in and said, "My lord, there are people outside to check the tax."

"Tax verification?" Mr. Qi came to Rongshui County for three years, and today is the first time he heard that someone took the initiative to verify taxes. In the past, if the tax officials did not come to the door repeatedly, those merchants and farmers would not pay taxes. , today is a strange thing.

"Okay, I'll go out now!" He said goodbye to several farmers and came to the front hall. Two men and a woman were standing in the hall. The tax officer had come over and was checking the current accounts they submitted.

Seeing him appear, the tax official stood up and saluted together with the two yamen servants: "Lord Qi!"

This is Qi Hengyuan, the current magistrate of Rongshui County, and he waved his hand.

Tong Xiaowu touched Feng Yuchen next to her. This is the time for men to play. In the workshop and business field, although she has the final say, but when dealing with officials, a man has to come forward. After all, men are superior to women. In ancient times, if it is modern, it is another matter.

What's more, if the husband-in-law comes forward at such a time, men can talk to men, and they can talk more easily.

Feng Yuchen received Tong Xiaowu's hint and cupped his fists, "Master Qi, I am Feng Yuchen, a villager from Shanshui Village, Ningyue Town. I have done some business and made some money in the past few days, so I came to the county government to audit taxes."

"Not bad, you have contributed to the development of this county, I am here to thank you..."

Mr. Qi is in his thirties. He passed the imperial examination three years ago. After passing the examination, he was assigned to this Rongshui County. This is his starting point in the officialdom. If he does well, he is expected to be promoted in the future. It is also possible to lose this black hat.

"Where is there? This is our job!" Feng Yuchen said.

The county magistrate stretched out his hand to greet the three of them to sit down, and ordered his subordinates to serve tea, "I have heard a lot about this Shanshui village recently. A few days ago, there was a gang of murderers and robbers. The leader was from Shanshui village. I thought it was Zhao lichang's improper administration, now it seems that it is only an isolated phenomenon."

"Yes! Chief Zhao maintains the village and is dedicated to his duties. He is a well-known good chief." Feng Yuchen said the official words.

Qi Hengyuan looked at the man in front of him. Although he was speaking politely, he didn't smile, his face was cold, neither humble nor overbearing. Although he claimed to be a farmer, his whole body was filled with a different kind of noble aura.

Looking at the strong man standing next to him, with a sword on his waist, his expression was indifferent, as if he was used to such scenes and didn't care at all.

On the other side, the woman lowered her eyebrows slightly and did not participate in the conversation.

The current situation is that he answered Feng Yuchen as soon as he said it, without any other superfluous words.

"The verification has been completed. According to the law, the tax you should pay this time is 62 taels." The tax officer handed them the tax slip in his hand.

Tong Xiaowu felt pain for a while, no wonder so many people evade taxes, it's all caused by profit.

After paying the tax, Feng Yuchen stood up and said goodbye, "Lord Qi, next month we will take the initiative to come to the Yamen to check the accounts and pay the tax. The tax officer is also welcome to come to my workshop to check the accounts and check the information."

"Since you can take the initiative to pay at the door, there will certainly be no tax evasion, I trust you." Lord Qi got up and personally sent the three of them away.

As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the yamen, he stopped Feng Yuchen: "Shopkeeper Feng, stay here, I have something to ask, does your workshop buy cotton?"

The thing that bothers him the most now is this matter. Among the 130 towns and 48 villages in the county, [-] villages are specialized in growing cotton, and [-] of them have been deceived, and no one buys the cotton for the autumn harvest. How many farmers' livelihoods have been destroyed?

Curiosity flashed across Feng Yuchen's eyes, he turned his head to look at Master Qi, and shook his head slightly: "My family has never bought cotton, why do you ask such a question?"

Master Qi also went to the doctor indiscriminately because of his illness, let the three of them into the hall again, and explained the cause and effect of this incident.

After Feng Yuchen listened, he said slowly, "Why don't your lord ask the shopkeepers of those weaving workshops in the county? Maybe they can accept so much cotton."

"To tell you the truth, I have asked about it a long time ago. The shopkeepers of cloth spinning have already signed contracts with the farmers in the spring. The cotton they need for their workshops has already been provided by someone. They don't have the extra ability to buy it. More cotton.

If it wasn't for Fan Liang's escape, the cotton farmers in those eleven villages in my county would not be unable to sell cotton. Now the price of cotton in other places is cheaper than in our county, plus transportation costs, if we take it to other counties If I sell it, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for it. "

Feng Yuchen nodded, he thought for a while, then looked back at Tong Xiaowu beside him, she lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something?
"Miss, do you think there is a solution to this matter?"

　Feng Yuchen did it on purpose!Hahaha...how do you feel that no one has left a message in the past two days?What are you all doing?Recommendation ticket! Recommendation ticket!
