The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 463
Yang Yuanxiang patted Shen Zhimin's hand, and his eyes were a little red. After all, there was still a friendship between the sisters. The two originally had a thousand words to say, but in the end they didn't say a word, they could only look at each other in silence.

After lunch, Shen Zhimin and Yang Yuanxiang sat facing each other, looking at Yang Yuanxiang with some sadness, as if hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter, Sister Zhimin, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate, we are sisters, we have to say what we should say, so as not to cause any trouble, and regret that we didn't say it clearly today, you know me, I'm straight."

Shen Zhimin nodded, revealing a faint smile.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The family's business is still the same as before. It's just that the Xue family has come to You'anji? This has made everyone panic. The Xue family is still colluding with the government. The current county magistrate seems to belong to the Xue family. people."

Yang Yuanxiang frowned. The county magistrate of Kunmi Town is from Xue's family. Why didn't Xie Shaoting know?She felt extremely surprised.

"It's impossible at all. The Xue family offended the Southern Yunnan Palace, and should have been kicked out of Southern Yunnan a long time ago. How could Shaoting keep a Xue family here as the county magistrate? Isn't this just looking for trouble for himself? I No matter what, I don’t believe it’s true.”

Shen Zhimin shook his head.

"At the beginning we received your letter and knew that the Xue family was defeated, so the big guys went to isolate the Xue family. Later, the Xue family couldn't survive here, so we had to settle for the next best thing, trying to keep part of the money.

So almost all the shops of the Xue family on the right bank were sold, but the adopted son of the Xue family did not know where he came from. sudden appearance.

He also said that he would buy back the Xue family's land, forced the villagers of Xue's family village to push the land, and bought back all the fields and shops that the Xue family used to collect on the right bank.

Our family also suffered, and we were forced to return many fields.

But recently, several people from the Xue family came out of nowhere and insisted on meddling in our business. Xiaolong disagreed and was beaten up. We had no choice but to move out of the Southern Dian Palace, saying that we are your natal family .

The Xue family's talent retreated, but the other families suffered because of this, and they took away a large sum of money.

But later we heard that this man took the looted people's fat and people's ointment and donated an official in Kunmi Town. As soon as the original county magistrate left, he took office immediately.

We didn't know about this at first, but Zhijie was working in the county government, so he said that the county magistrate might be a fake, because the county magistrate didn't print it, and every time he should use a big seal, he asked Zhijie to use a carrot. Carved and covered.

So Zhijie suspected that he was a fake county magistrate, so I wondered if I would tell you that your current status is different from what it used to be. If I tell you about this, you should be able to make the decision, right?I see that you have come with the guards of the palace. "

Yang Yuanxiang nodded, if this matter is really what Shen Zhimin said, then she is indeed qualified to take someone, so Yang Yuanxiang, who didn't even sit on his butt, rushed to Zhu Dafu's house without stopping.

"Brother Zhu, there is something I want to ask you."

Zhu Wu now has a good impression of Yang Yuanxiang. After all, Yang Yuanxiang is a rare woman who has praised him, so he naturally thinks Yang Yuanxiang is good.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say. Just now, a policeman came into the village quickly. My father has already rushed over to agree. If you don't talk to me while walking, I'm afraid that my father will get sick and mess up the matter in a daze. , if my father is confused, he still has to rely on me."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded.

"Then you go there first, I will rush over with the guards right away, I want to see who is bluffing here, the county magistrate in your county may be a fake, the real county magistrate does not know where he got it up.

Remember not to be polite to them, I will bring people over immediately. "

Zhu Wu nodded, and the two split up. Yang Yuanxiang went back to call for someone, while Zhu Wu went directly to the big tree in the village, ready to help Zhu Dafu.

Just as Yang Yuanxiang and Xie Xing led the people to the front of the big tree in the village, they saw that there were already surrounded by villagers. Yang Yuanxiang frowned and walked forward, while telling Xie Xing to wait at the same place, she walked over by herself.

Because he was out of the house, Yang Yuanxiang didn't dress too much, it was just an ordinary woman's dress, so standing in the crowd wasn't too much of an eyesore.

As soon as she walked in, there was a sound of gong beating under the big tree in the village, and then Zhu Dafu's voice came over.

"All the people in the village gather under the tree... all the people in the village gather under the tree."

Because he was not far away, Yang Yuanxiang took a few steps inside and saw two policemen standing beside Zhu Dafu.

These policemen are old acquaintances of Yang Yuanxiang. Yang Yuanxiang had heard the conversation between the two at the wonton stall in Kunmi Town before.

So I have basically guessed the purpose of these two people. It is nothing more than asking the villagers to rent land, and finally let the black-hearted county magistrate squeeze out the hard-earned money of the people.

Yang Yuanxiang was full of anger, just after the catastrophe, it would be fine if he didn't allocate funds for disaster relief, but he still wanted to get money from the people, this county magistrate is really a fool.

When her letter arrives in Dali and Xie Shaoting confirms that the county magistrate is indeed a fake, she will let the muddled magistrate report and leave.

Yang Yuanxiang was thinking wildly, only to hear the arrester above clear his throat.

"Fellow folks, our visit this time was ordered by the county magistrate. The purpose is to ask the folks to rent more land. Everyone knows that at the end of the year, everyone will experience a catastrophe.

Our county magistrate loves the people like a son, he is the parents and officials of the people, how can he not worry about everyone's life and death, so this year the imperial court has allocated a lot of farmland for your village, everyone must actively rent the land, to ensure the end of next year Last year of plenty…. "

There was a lot of chatter from above, nothing more than saying that if you grow a lot of land, you can have enough food, but there is no mention of taxation.

The expressions on the faces of the people in the village were a little dull, because Zhu Dafu had already whispered to each family about the tax increase, so everyone was not very interested.

"How is it? How are you thinking about it? Do you want to rent land? Those who want to rent land should come to you and tell us here, so we can count the number of people. This land renting is a good thing. There will be no land to rent.”

People in the village still had no expression on their faces, and the two policemen continued to sell the leased land, and Yang Yuanxiang listened to it with gusto.

In my heart, I felt that these two fast-talking officers were good at talking. If she didn't know the inside story, she might be coaxed into renting land.
