He Zifeng stayed at home comfortably for two days. Little Heran could pick up a lot of wheat ears every day. He Zifeng and Qiu Yu were both good at spoiling children. They accompanied him in his mischief and made a small stove at home using old bricks. Grab a handful of peanuts and wheat ears and roast them on top, then peel them off and eat the flesh inside.

It wasn't enough to order something like that, so He Zifeng looked for some vegetables, meat, and the like, and found that everything could be grilled. Especially if there is seasoning on the meat, it will be quite fragrant.

Xiao Heran is a bit addicted and wants to get everyone to bake something to eat every day.

It happened that the neighboring village caught up with the butcher and got some mutton. After buying it, he went to the river to find a smooth stone, cleaned it and roasted it on it.

The whole family became addicted to it, and Qiu Yu even kept the stone so that she would not be unable to find it next time.

Xiao Heran next to him agreed very much.

When He Zifeng sent the child away, the autumn mood was getting stronger, and the next time would be the Chinese New Year.

Qiu Yu was afraid that the child would be cold, so she prepared some extra clothes to keep out the cold. She was always a little worried when the child was not by her side.

He Zifeng went to work.

When he went to the Yamen, there were many people there, and they all reacted to He Zifeng's eyes.

Sure enough, Capt. Zhu assigned the tax collection task, and He Zifeng and his team were assigned to Lingshan Village.

They had to collect fifty dans of grain. There was no grain that could be converted into money or silk cloth. They had not paid enough for several years. The debt accumulated over the years would cost 200 dans in one round. It would cost almost one to convert it into silver. One hundred taels.

Let's put it aside, if anyone else does this year, send more people to suppress them with force like last year.

When they heard this, the others gasped. This is a death order. If you can't hand it in, there will definitely be a river of blood.

The surrounding villages are all seeing this, and if they all imitate this, they won't be able to get along.

This time, whether it's killing a chicken or honoring a monkey, we have to take action.

After the incident was over, He Zifeng left Zhu Captou behind to talk.

Everyone is guessing that He Zifeng must be scared now and is thinking of countermeasures.

Even Zhu Captou himself thought so, so when He Zifeng finished speaking, he was stunned. Is this what He Zifeng said to him?

Zhu Captou repeated what he just said: "You mean, you want to redeem the villagers in the mine."

He Zifeng hummed.

Zhu Captou didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.

There is a quota for death in the mine, and the money to redeem people ends up in the pockets of a few people in charge. They are not afraid of coming for redemption, but they are afraid of not coming.

Zhu Captou said: "Let's go over and have a chat." Then they went there.

When the fat officer heard this, he wanted to redeem all the people in Lingshan Village at once. Nineteen people, each worth five taels of silver, that is ninety-five taels of silver. Even if they share one point among their brothers, each of them can still have twenty or thirty taels of money. They were immediately overjoyed and said, "I know you are a very capable man. Since you opened your mouth, I must help."
