After all, it was master who secretly reached out to pull him away and whispered," my lord, this is a good thing. Others want their achievements that they don' t have! "
The mention of the word achievements, related to the next year's promotion, the building immediately returned to the shrewd nature.
He quickly cupped his hands and bowed to the crowd, looking extremely moved. This is what I should do. I really don't think you should do this. "
"No, sir lou, you have worked so hard. We all see it. "
"Yes, my lord, we have never met a good official like you. "
Everyone continued to praise him, and no matter how thick-skinned they were, they all blushed.
After all, old master lin waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He then smiled and said," we all know that you' re busy with business. We' re here today to kowtow to you. Please accept our gratitude. This will not delay the adults to deal with official business, sir rest assured, this year's tax money, we will be ready early, absolutely do not let the adults difficult. "
"Yes, my lord, we must have the tax money ready early. Lord hand it over, let the city, let the court those adults also see us north mao do not eat relief food, we have a big harvest under the leadership of the lord! "
The crowd shouted louder and louder. Everyone lifted their heads and puffed out their chests. They were overjoyed. At last, they insisted on kneeling and kowtowing, and then, as if they had come, they went back on their way.
A few police officers received the signboard and rice rations and stood behind the building with a strange look on their faces. They were usually in the county magistrate's office, so no one knew where the magistrate went this year better than them.
The sedan chair was lifted up by everyone. The idle people in the county had been watching the commotion for a long time, so they naturally wouldn' t let go of the opportunity to add more flowers to the brocade. Thus, this said," congratulations, sir." "
That person also said," yes, congratulations, sir lou, for the benefit of the people, next year will definitely rise!" "
The building was looking forward to this and was so happy that she couldn' t stop grinning from ear to ear. After some small talk, she returned to the rear office.
The building directly chased the county magistrate and the others away, leaving the master alone to talk in the study.
"What does the lin family mean by that? Isn' t it their family that raised rice and raised rice? Why did they give it to me like that?" "
Master had already heard the clues earlier, but he immediately said it, which made the county magistrate look stupid, so he frowned as to whether it was possible." This, I can' t guess." Could it be that the lin family wanted something? "
"I' m also worried about this. Mr. Yao is staying in the lin family and zhou shan is here too. What exactly is going on? It's hard for the two of them to say, but they want me to step in instead?" "
The building took off its official hat and threw it on the desk. The master quickly helped to put it away. Perhaps he accidentally knocked down a pile of official documents. When he picked it up, he exclaimed in a low voice," sir, I think I understand. "
"Tell me what you understand! "
"Look at this! "
Master took out a separate official text, which contained the grain tax for this year.
The lin family had brought those people with them a few times earlier, and they told them that they would pay the tax money early this year. Do you think the lin family wants lord hope to collect taxes this year? "
"Oh, I think I did say taxes a few times. "
The building side pinched the goatee, small eyes narrowed, slowly said," could it be that the lin family wants to use the grain for another use, with silver money to cover the grain tax?" "
"My lord is wise, I suppose so. "
The master quickly praised and helped the lin family." The lin family has never treated anyone who is convenient for them. Logically speaking, the higher-ups had already said that the taxes and grain and the taxes were fine. When the adults went to visit Mr. Yao, by the way, it was impossible for the lord not to agree. However, the lin family had given him a plaque and thanked him in front of everyone. "
Lou fang nodded, feeling satisfied. It was just a small matter for the lin family to get their hands on, but this achievement was truly something that he needed.
"Then put up a notice, and the tax money is lighter than the tax food. "
"Yes, my lord. Rest well, your subordinate will go and prepare. "
Master smiled and left. A few of the officers in the front office were laughing and talking around the signboard. When they saw master coming out, they asked," master, you want to celebrate with wine?" "
The rest of them also smiled and said," yes, it's such a joyous occasion. It's time to celebrate. "
The master shook his head with a smile and replied," my lord has decided to collect taxes this fall. Which one of you will report to the lin family ..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a police officer jumped up." I' ll go, I' ll go right away!" "
The rest of them were too late to respond. Seeing that their companions had already run out of the door, they really had no chance. "
"Can' t you hurry up? The lin family is generous. I' m afraid he will have to make a small fortune this time." "
"When he comes back, ask him to buy a drink. "
Master smiled as he looked at everyone gossiping. "
"That's right, master. "
"Go, go, come, quickly carry it in. "
Everyone got a reminder. A small plaque, but a total of six hands to support, majestic back to the office.
Not to mention how happy the county magistrate was, they only said that the lin family's village had been waiting for news ever since they returned from the county. Old master lin ordered for the wine to be served, and everyone was not in the mood to eat or drink. They all opened their mouths to stop him. In the end, they only ate a bowl of noodles to fill their stomachs.
It was not easy for them to come to the police station to report to them.
"Old master, we really did not make a wasted trip to the county today. The county magistrate is really collecting taxes! "
"Yes, I was afraid that the magistrate would get a good reputation. What if he didn' t know what we were asking for? "
"Do you think the magistrate is a fool? "
"Yes, he was given half of the credit. If he didn' t agree to such a small matter, he would be greedy. "
Everyone was talking about a big event, and they all felt that it would be a big deal. They picked up the teacup in their hands and used it as a wine bowl. They drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely comfortable.
But after the joy, another problem emerged," grandpa, the rice has not been sold, this tax money ... I am afraid it is not out." "
Old master lin had discussed it with his sons last night, and upon hearing this, he said," the families will first send the rice to the li zheng family based on the amount of grain they need to pay the tax. The accounts will be sent and the tax money will come from our house. When the capital city, dahe contacted the grain merchants and ordered a price, then settle the score. "
This was equivalent to the amount of money that the lin family paid for their food. There were no more people growing rice this year. There were two or three hundred families. One family was counted as ten taels, which was two or three thousand taels. This was not a small sum, and the lin family did not hesitate to give it up.
Everyone was grateful, but they couldn' t help but secretly lament the wealth of the lin family.
