Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 56: Thinking of Countermeasures

He Zifeng knew about this.

Zhu Captou told him not to be discouraged. There was still more than a month before the tax was collected. As long as he could collect part of it, it would be fine.

After Zhu Captou left, Xie Rui also comforted He Zifeng and said: "The worst thing is that I won't be promoted this time. Anyway, I will definitely have you next time." Even though He Zifeng came late, no one at the Yamen Gate had as much credit as him.

If the male and female evil spirits had been allowed to cause harm to the county, there might have been a lot of trouble. This is a scourge that even the provincial capital has not caught. Even the adults in the province sent special letters when they heard about it. This is the political achievement of the county magistrate and the master.

Since Xie Rui came to the county government office, no one has been with him at all, except He Zifeng. He really regards He Zifeng as his big brother now.

He also said: "I still have a little money. If it doesn't work, I will put some aside. No one will know anyway." The influence of the Xie family in the county is on par with the Gong family. It's just that Xie Rui is a low-key person. Apart from Zhu Baotou, He Zifeng is probably the only one who knows about his life experience at the yamen gate. To him, that little money was nothing. He sincerely wanted to be a friend like He Zifeng.

Naturally, He Zifeng would not let Xie Rui pay. As Xie Rui said, the worst possible outcome is that he won't be promoted this time.

But he needs to figure something out! He went out, and Xie Rui quickly followed him: "Brother He, where are you going?"

"I plan to go to Lingshan Village." He wanted to see what was going on there.

Although Xie Rui is as timid as a mouse, he is still very curious and wants to join in when he hears there is something fun to do.

Upon hearing this, He Zifeng took him with him.

Xie Rui went out for a while after hearing this, and then came up with a smooth answer.

Soon He Zifeng went to find Aunt Hongju. She was about the same age as Fang. She had four sons. The eldest was thirty years old this year and was not married yet!

After He Zifeng introduced himself to his family, Aunt Hongju said, "Are you that old?" Then she said a few words about family matters. Aunt Hongju was deceived by the matchmaker, saying that the conditions were not bad. When she came to get married, she was dumbfounded. There was nothing here. The distance was far away, and it was too late for her to regret it. She couldn't get out at all these years, and her man died the year before last. In addition, after so many years, life is still going on without a meal, and I am embarrassed to go back for fear of making people laugh.

He Zifeng then asked about the affairs of their village: "I heard that your village does not pay taxes every year, and last year the government officials were beaten to death."

The village chief of Lingshan Village had long ordered to keep this matter secret, but Hongju had only seen a young man from their village in so many years. I couldn't help but tell them.

"The land in our village does not grow food, so every household has to make a living by weaving coarse cloth. But the food rations at home have to be exchanged for coarse cloth, and there is really no money to pay. If we pay more taxes, the whole village will have to tie their necks. Those few government officials last year He spoke disrespectfully and beat the old man, and the whole village was really anxious." After beating two people to death, the whole village did not dare to sleep day and night, for fear that the county would send officers and soldiers to arrest them, but in the end they only came to arrest the people, and reportedly there was no sentence.
