Chapter 133

Her lips are sweet and soft, with a touch of wine, slightly intoxicating.

There is no skill of kissing, but more than ever to hook people.

Time seems to stop quietly, moonlight is like water, gently blowing.

Ji Mingxiu clasped her waist which she couldn't hold. She shook it lazily in his arms and hummed a tune he had never heard before. It was soothing and gentle. The whole person exuded a wild grace and charm to the extreme.

I should have drunk her earlier when I knew she was so charming when she was drunk.

Qiao Wei leaned back in his arms without any obstinacy. All her previous arrogance disappeared. She was as good as a kitten, a dancing kitten.

Ji Mingxiu pinched her chin: "it's you who hook me up. Don't blame me for taking advantage of others."

Qiao Wei smiles gently.

Ji Mingxiu increased the strength of her arm and lowered her head to find her soft lip.

"Madame! madam! Xiao Wei has turned himself in! "

A GUI rushed in, afraid to slow down a second, the guy named Xiao Wei snatched his "review book" back.

Ji Mingxiu's body suddenly froze, cold eyes, knife general, toward a GUI shot over.

A GUI Leng Ding was struck by a terrible eye knife, and his breath stopped: "you, you, who are you? What are you doing to your wife? "

There was a strong smell of grape wine in the room. The lady was obviously drunk. The damned apprentice tried to do something wrong to her when she was drunk!

A GUI rushed to Ji Mingxiu in three steps: "let go of madam!"

Ji Mingxiu slaps a GUI to fly. Although he doesn't use his internal power, it's enough to make a GUI suffer.

A GUI bumped into the wall behind him, and the whole back was in severe pain. A GUI gritted his teeth and picked up the stool.

Qiao Wei yawned, soft and lazy way: "don't hit, he is a GUI."

Ji Mingxiu looked at her: "good."

Ah GUI was stunned. His wife and he Do you know each other?

Ji Mingxiu looked coldly at a GUI: "don't you go yet? Waiting to be beaten? "

Ah GUI looks at Ji Mingxiu and his gentle and clever wife in Ji's arms. He gradually understands that he doesn't want to catch a flower picker, but to break his wife's "good thing". His wife is always cold and quiet. He thinks that his wife has no man. He doesn't know that there is such a big one hidden in the room.

This man's appearance is hidden in the dark, but he is tall and upright, with extraordinary bearing. He is not an ordinary person, so he should not meddle in his own business.

A GUI bowed down. Of course, his own self-criticism didn't go out.

Ji Mingxiu felt that his arms were getting deeper and deeper. He looked down and saw that the leader of gang Qiao, who had been fanning the flames on him the second before, had closed his eyes and fell asleep at this moment.

Ji Mingxiu looked at the little prime minister who was clamoring to send troops, and then looked at Qiao Wei who was snoring. He was angry and funny: "I have no conscience!"

……

In the early hours of the morning, Qiao Wei was awakened by the biological clock in her body. When she opened her eyes, she felt a burst of headache. This body was too weak to resist alcohol at all. It was just a few cups of wild mountain wine. She was so drunk. You know, in her previous life, she killed a kilo of Erguotou.

I have to find a chance to practice the wine resistance of her body. After all, she likes wine.

Qiao Wei holds the swollen head and sits up. She sees the porcelain bottle on the cupboard and the note under the porcelain bottle.

"Jiejiu pills, two on an empty stomach."

You don't have to guess whose handwriting it is.

So he really came yesterday.

I still hold him, singing and dancing, those It's not fake.

God, how could she be so shameful? It's a disgrace to the eighteen generations of our ancestors.

No more drinking! Don't drink to death!

After breakfast, Qiao Wei sent the children to the private school, and then went to the workshop. Ah GUI's eyes were not right, strange and disgusting.

But Qiao Wei didn't remember the time when a GUI rushed in, so she was very puzzled about a GUI's reaction: "you're fat, aren't you? If you don't confess, you'll be lenient. I think you don't want a salary! "

A GUI already knows that salary means monthly money. He took less than Qi Niang last month. He is not comfortable enough. If this woman doesn't take it directly, he will have no dignity at home.

When the seven foot man bent down for doumi, ah GUI hummed and went to work.

Qiao Wei goes to Xiao Wei. It's strange that Xiao Wei's eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not nose.

Wait, it's like these two who made a mistake, right? It's like she did something wrong!

Qiao Wei didn't know that a GUI took the wrong review to tell the truth, but Xiao Wei caught up with him. Xiao Wei didn't worry that his wife would blame him. After all, it wasn't his review at all. It was a GUI's own. The reason why he followed secretly was that he wanted to see his wife's reaction and consider whether he was going to plead guilty to his wife or not Crispy blanket running.He didn't see anything else, but he saw his wife holding a man together.

How angry!

"Xiao Wei, do you wrap too much mud..."

"Hum!"

Before Qiao Wei finished speaking, Xiao Wei hummed heavily.

"I said you..."

"Hum!"

"You give me..."

"Well! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum Xiao Wei forks, stomps, glares!

Qiao Wei was stunned, then slapped him on the head: "hum, what are you? "Pig?"

Xiao Wei didn't dare to hum. He drooped his head and went to work silently like a resentful little daughter-in-law.

Qiao Wei's eyes hurt and she went back to work. She was not impressed by the message she sent last night. Naturally, she didn't remember the Lantern Festival. She took out the account book and counted the accounts. Then she went to Luo's house.

She has not paid back the money she owes to the Luo family. I almost forgot.

Qiao Wei took the money into the room: "ganniang, I'm here."

"It's Wei." Aunt Luo lifted the curtain and came out with red eyes.

Qiao Wei looked at her suspiciously: "ganniang, what's the matter with you?"

Aunt Luo wiped her eyes and whispered, "it's not me, it's you, aunt Zhao."

"Is aunt Zhao in it?" Qiaowei looked through the curtain.

Aunt Luo nodded: "come in."

Qiao Wei entered the house of aunt Luo. When Aunt Zhao heard that Qiao Wei was coming, she was wiping her tears. When she saw someone coming, she forced her face to smile and said, "little Qiao."

Qiao Wei sat down on the Kang: "what's the matter, aunt Zhao?"

Aunt Zhao was bitter in her heart, and she burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

Aunt Luo answered for her, "the government wants to raise taxes."

Qiao Wei doesn't know much about ancient taxes. The money she usually earns in Rongji is paid by boss Rong instead of her. The merchant's taxes are high. She always pays taxes heartily. She hasn't paid taxes in the farmland for the time being. I heard that they are not so heavy, so I don't know how to pay them.

"How much more?" Qiao Wei asked.

Aunt Luo said: "originally, it was said that 20% of the total was too much for the villagers. It was changed to 10.5%

Aunt Zhao choked: "it used to be enough to pay three or four hundred catties per head. Now, it's five or six hundred catties. If it's a good year, it's OK. This year's drought has brought disaster to many farmland. Who can afford so much food?"

In ancient times, the yield per mu was low, and the yield per mu was only two or three hundred catties. This year, the situation is grim. Some lands are dead, and the ones that are not dead are very bad. At this time, it's good not to cut taxes, but to raise taxes? What does the court do for food?

"Why raise taxes?" Qiao Wei asked.

Aunt Luo shook her head: "we don't know. We have to ask the village head."

When Cao Cao arrived, the village head crossed the threshold and looked in when he passed aunt Luo's house: "Oh, they're all here."

"Village head." Aunt Luo leads Qiao Wei and Zhao to the main hall and pours two cups of herbal tea for Qiao Wei and the village head.

The village head drank a few mouthfuls of herbal tea: "I just passed by. Come in and sit down."

He said so, but everyone can see that he has no idea. I'm afraid he will find the Luo family only when he has no idea.

Aunt Luo sat down and said, "I can't do anything about this. The message sent by his father says that other towns are starting to hand in. Let's get ready and hand it in."

Aunt Zhao said, "your family doesn't depend on farming. My elder brother works in the county government and gets the monthly income of the county government. Yongzhi collects shrimps in the countryside and makes a lot of money. Of course, you can hand them in. But we are so poor that we can't open the pot. Where can we turn in the surplus grain?"

This is not pleasant to hear, sour not slip autumn, Luo aunt know she is in a bad mood, but also did not pay attention to.

Qiao Wei looked at the village head: "village head, the government does not know that this year's drought, farmers in Chengdu is not good?"

Without waiting for the village head to reply, aunt Zhao said indignantly, "how many of those officials know how to farm? Whether the harvest is good or not is not their word? I thought that although we had a bad harvest this year, we could barely survive. Who knew that we would have to raise taxes all of a sudden? Isn't that forcing us to a dead end Aunt Zhao cried as she spoke.

Aunt Luo patted aunt Zhao on the shoulder: "don't cry, sister. Go in and wash your face."

Aunt Zhao was persuaded into the house by Aunt Luo.

Qiao Wei looked at the village head again: "the situation is so severe that she can't live anymore?"

The village head sighed: "it's really difficult. The Zhao family is a poor family, so it's even more difficult. The rest of the family are struggling to survive, but they are struggling to survive."

Just not to starve to death? But it's tight enough at ordinary times. Qiao Wei doesn't dare to think about it.

Seeing Qiao Wei's silent appearance, the village head thought that Qiao Wei was worried about being taxed. He said, "don't be afraid. Ten mu of land in your East Village is barren land. You don't pay taxes for the first three years. It's the land in the middle of the mountain that you have to pay taxes."

"I grow watermelon. Does the government even want watermelon?""Turn it into silver."

Qiao Wei said: "the two acres of land, a total of one or two silver."

The village head sighed for the first time: "yes, the millet can't grow out. How good can the watermelon be? You don't have much family, you don't have a man, and you don't have many friends. "

Qiao Wei has a daily income in her business, and the emperor's reward hasn't been spent. She doesn't have much problem paying taxes.

"But your workshop." The village head said, "maybe it's a little too much."

"I know that." The workshop is a business tax, which is much higher than the agricultural tax, but no matter how high it is, it is within her range. There is no big problem for the moment. "Village head, if they can't pay the tax, will they be arrested and go to jail?"

The village head laughed at himself: "do you think the prison is easy to enter? How many people are in charge of food and housing? If they want to enter the prison, they will not worry about paying taxes. "

"What will happen?" Qiao Wei asked.

The village head said, "have you ever heard of corvee?"

Qiao Wei nodded. She had heard of corvee. To put it simply, the ancient unpaid labor force usually lived a miserable life. Those with bad luck could give their lives there. Unexpectedly, the Daliang Dynasty used this method to offset taxes. It was a bit cruel: "in the past years, when the harvest was bad, would the court also increase taxes?"

There was a trace of confusion on the village head's face: "no, if the harvest in previous years was not good, the imperial court would correspondingly reduce taxes. This year, I don't know what happened, it even increased."

Qiao Wei touched her chin: "that's not to collect taxes, it's to recruit soldiers, but it's not good to do it too blatantly, so she thought of a way to offset taxes."

The village head was stunned: "you mean..."

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "I don't know much about the situation of the imperial court. I just think that if there is no tax increase in previous years, it will be unusual this year. Either the leader has changed his position, or the reason why he has to do so." When Qiao Wei came to Daliang for several months, she had a basic understanding of the situation here. The emperor she had met was not a villain; the common people's life was hard, but they were not in dire straits; the business among shops was prosperous, and banditry was rare As a matter of fact, the imperial treasury should not be short of money, and there is no reason to increase taxes, unless the purpose is not tax.

The village head suddenly realized: "listen to you say so, it seems that there is some reason to recruit What do you want to do

Qiao Wei smiles: "this is not what we common people can guess."

"It's very dangerous to be a soldier," the village head said

Corvee soldiers are more dangerous, Qiao Wei added in her heart, not only no money, but also no establishment.

The head of the village frowned: "if we all go to be soldiers, who will plant this field?"

Because they were not willing to join the army, they came up with this method of collecting corvee. The imperial court had the difficulties of the imperial court, and the common people also had the suffering of the common people.

"Village head, how many households are there in our village?" Qiao Wei asked.

The village head replied, "counting you, 68 households."

"How many households do you expect to be unable to pay taxes?"

"Half of it."

It's so cruel. Half of the village was raided in one go.

"Let go! Let go! Let go of the animals! Ah - "

suddenly, there was a scream from Er Gouzi Niang.

Qiao Wei and the village head rushed out, and saw that several officials were tying Er Gouzi's father to go out. Er Gouzi's mother was kicked by the officials and fell to the ground. The official's wrist was bleeding and was bitten by Er Gouzi's mother.

The injured officer raised his hand to beat Er Gouzi Niang.

Er Gouzi rushed up with a stone.

The official pulled out his sword!

"Stop it Qiao Weili came forward and grabbed the official's sword, and then knocked down the stone in Er Gouzi's hand. "If you have something to say, why do you fight? Do you officers use swords to deal with the common people? "

The official gritted his teeth and said, "look at my hand. What's it like to be bitten by this crazy woman?"

Er Gouzi Niang said angrily, "who told you to arrest my man?"

The village head, aunt Luo and aunt Zhao surrounded the village.

"What's the matter?" Asked aunt Luo.

The village head has a headache, and another one has been taken away.

Qiao Wei helped Er Gouzi Niang up and said seriously, "it's your fault. The government has its rules. People do things according to the rules. How dare you bite people? You're obstructing business, understand? "

The official's look eased a little.

His companion asked him, "are you ok?"

All bitten and bleeding, can it be ok? The officer's face sank again.

Qiao Wei's impression of ergouzi's family is still good. At the beginning, the children in the village didn't pay much attention to her two children. Ergouzi didn't take those rumors seriously. Her heart is full of flesh. Now that ergouzi's family is in trouble, she won't let it go.

Qiao Wei took out two silver naked sons from her purse and gave them to two officials respectively: "brother Cha, can you come back two days later? Give us a little time to prepare. It's too sudden. The food is not ready. Ganniang, do we still have Songhua eggs in our house? "Aunt Luo nodded: "some, some, I'm going to get it now!"

Aunt Luo came into the room and brought out two baskets of eggs: "here you are, sir!"

Songhua egg is a rare thing. The two officers exchanged a look and took the basket from Aunt Luo.

The injured official said, "we'll come back tomorrow!"

Qiao Wei smiles: "thank you, elder brother Guan."

When the official errand left, the village head and aunt Luo breathed a long sigh of relief.

Er Gouzi Niang and aunt Zhao are not so optimistic. After all, they are all poor households. Let alone give them one more day, even if they are two or ten days old, they still can't afford money.

At the thought that her man might be arrested like this, aunt Zhao was scared to tears.

Qiao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "village head, please come in. I have something to say to you."

The village head followed Qiao Wei into the house.

Qiao Wei hesitated and said, "village head, I was thinking about something yesterday."

"What's the matter?" Asked the village head.

Qiao Wei said bluntly: "I want to invite more people to expand the scale of production."

The village head's eyes suddenly brightened: "you mean Are you looking for a job? "

"Yes." Qiao Wei answered.

The village head was so excited that he said, "how many are you going to recruit?"

Qiao Wei thought about it: "twenty or thirty people, I have to work all year round, so I can't go to the fields for farming. Originally considering this, I didn't expect to hire people from the village, but now this kind of thing happens in the village. Would you like to ask everyone if they are willing to go up the mountain with me? Of course, I don't accept everything. I have to choose the right one. If I'm elected, I can advance a little bit of my salary. Let's say that I started my business in the early stage, and I don't have much income, and they don't have much salary. "

At this time, who is still picky about this? If you can fill in the tax first, Amitabha!

The village head was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "Xiao Qiao, you are a living Bodhisattva! I'm going to inform you now! "

Qiao Wei smiles faintly. She's not a living Bodhisattva. It's just that everything happens to be in line with her plan. Even if there's no tax issue, she'll still recruit workers in the village, but she doesn't act so fast.

In the morning, the village head spread the news about Qiao Wei's recruitment. By noon, almost all the people in the village went up the mountain.

Compared with being conscripted to do corvee, people obviously prefer to do "coolie" in Qiao Wei's workshop, at least not to leave home.

The villagers crowded Qiao Wei's yard to the brim, not only in the village, but also in other villages.

This time, Qiao Wei only plans to recruit workers in her own village and gently persuades people from other villages to leave.

They all looked at the little widow they had looked down upon with mixed feelings. Now they all count on her to live.

Everyone wants to be elected so they can get their taxes in advance.

Qiao Wei selected a total of 30 people, from different 30 households. The village head testified, signed the pledge, and released the monthly money first. In addition, Qiao Wei also released the money for those who were not selected, but not in her own name, but in the village head's name.

The village head understands Qiao Wei's meaning, and sometimes doing good things can become a bad thing. If Qiao Wei is too kind to everyone, after a long time, everyone will take Qiao Wei's good for granted, but in fact, Qiao Wei owes you nothing.

"So many people, have you figured out how to support them?" Aunt Luo asked quietly. She thought Qiao Wei was soft hearted and deliberately called a group of people up the mountain.

Qiao Wei smiles: "don't worry, godmother. I really need to expand my business."

Aunt Luo is still worried: "how many eggs do dozens of people have to make? Can you sell them?"

It depends on how she sells it.

In the evening, Luo Yongzhi went to Rongji to deliver shrimp. Qiao Wei took his car and went to Rongji with him. The two children didn't go to the town for a long time, so they followed him.

Qiao Wei told boss Rong what she thought.

Let the boss pat the table with a smile: "you are willing to invite people! I asked you to make more eggs early. I can't sell them enough! "

Qiaowei said with a smile, "can I sell it?"

"Ten thousand a day?" Boss Rong was surprised. One thousand a day is OK. Ten thousand is too So what? He's just a restaurant.

Qiao Wei confidently said: "you can't sell, I can sell."

"What?" Let the boss stare.

Qiao Wei said calmly, "it's not easy to sell when you do retail business, but if you sell it wholesale all over the country, it's not enough."

"You have a big heart to sell to the whole country." Rong boss's small eyes began to become subtle, "what do you mean? You want to kick me off again, don't you

Qiao Wei was amused by him: "don't be so ugly. When did I say that I would kick you off? I mean, I'm going to open the largest egg factory in Daliang Dynasty. It's not only for Songhua eggs, but also for salted eggs. There are not only duck eggs, Songhua eggs and salted eggs, but also quail eggs and salted eggs. "

Let the boss's mouth open enough to plug a duck egg: "quail? Birds? Do you sell eggs? "Qiao Wei said: "bird eggs taste better than duck eggs. How about boss Rong? Are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"You Let me see. " Mr. Rong took a sip of tea.

Qiao Wei said quietly: "if you are interested, I can consider giving you 20% dividend, but the condition is that you must also have half of the investment."

Boss Rong frowned: "wait! How can I get only 20% bonus when I invest half of my money? If you don't throw a penny, I'll give you 30% back! "

Qiaowei said: "what's the same? Your Rong Ji is for the small town, while my egg factory is for the whole country. To give you two Chengdu is for the sake of our friendship, otherwise one Chengdu won't give you, what can you say? Do you really think I have no money to invest? I haven't sold any of the things the Emperor gave me! "

Let boss hum hum, will bully him! I hate it!

"I want to eat that bird egg first, I think it's delicious before I put in the money!"

Qiao Wei a smile: "no problem."

This is just a preliminary idea. If we really decide on a whole industrial chain, we can't make it happen overnight. Only by doing so can we be stable. Therefore, she is not in a hurry to get the investment from her boss. Of course, the main thing is that she is not afraid to let her boss not invest.

The worst plan is to sell all your treasures.

I feel like I'm a step closer to success. Qiao Wei even breathes with a little excitement.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs.

Qiao Wei ran downstairs to see that the naughty monkey clown came.

This time, she didn't come in stealthily, but swaggered in, with a manly look, not to mention much air.

The guest looked at her in surprise and the food fell out of her mouth.

Pearl's delicate hand, with a handkerchief in one hand and a toy umbrella in the other, entered the house like a noble gold.

Then she looked at a room full of plainly dressed and stunned civilians, with a look of pride, disdain and anger on her face. She didn't know how the little monkey's face changed so many expressions. Anyway, with the body movements, everyone could understand it.

Pearl dusted off her nonexistent skirt and walked proudly across the hall to the kitchen in the backyard.

Small six is carrying a plate of braised fish out, cold can not see the sole of the foot has a monkey, scared a jump, almost throw the plate out!

Pearl clasped her arm, and her expression quickly changed into horror, pain, anger, and injustice.

Xiao Liu was scared: "you, are you burned? I, I'll get the medicine for you! "

Xiao Liuyi left with a slip of smoke.

Pearl's panic, pain, anger and grievance all disappeared in an instant, and she was replaced by the grace and disdain of a lady.

Master he just made a plate of crystal shrimp balls. Pearl stood on tiptoe, reached out her little black hand, grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth, then shook her head.

It's like saying, you can't do it.

Master he: "yes."

Pearl took the plate in her arms, and sighed, as if she were reluctant to eat it for you and me.

Master he: whose monkey is that?!

Pearl ate master he's shrimp balls, shook her head, took master Hai's spicy shrimp balls, tasted one, and master Chong Hai gave a thumbs up.

Master Hai put down the brick in his hand.

Pearl ate master Yang's Garlic Prawns and gave a thumbs up.

Master Yang put down the knife hidden behind him.

Qiaowei black face into the kitchen: "clown monkey, you dare to come?"

Pearl's hand caught the shrimp ball and her eyes moved. She turned around and grinned at Qiao Wei.

Qiaowei grabbed her and said, "you're addicted, aren't you? I stole it yesterday, but today I dare to be blatant. Who dare you to come to my kitchen and cheat me to eat and drink! "

"Wow! Monkey Wangshu came to the door, "mother, is it a monkey? Where did you come from? "

Pearl stretched out her little hand to Wangshu.

Wang Shu wants to hold her.

Qiao Wei refused: "it's a bad monkey."

Pearl looked innocently at Wangshu, and her eyes flashed with grief, pity, sadness, dying

Wang Shu's heart hurt when he saw it. He held his mother's arm and said, "mother, don't bully it, OK?"

She bullied it? It's the clown monkey who came in to cheat us.

Wang Shu said pitifully, "mother, I want to play with monkey. Can I, mother?"

"No!" Qiao Wei refused sternly.

Look comfortable shriveled shriveled small mouth son, wow of a cry open!

"Ouch, ouch, isn't it a monkey? What's the big deal? " Master he was distressed by Wangshu. When Wangshu cried, he wanted to cry. He quickly took the monkey from Qiao Wei's hand and handed it to Wangshu, "take it to play, don't cry, ah?"

Wang Shu won the monkey and stopped crying.

What a lovely monkey. He can take a handkerchief and an umbrella.Pearl, holding an umbrella and a skirt that didn't exist, turned around gracefully. Her heart was sprouted: "mother, can I play with it? Just a second, really a second, I promise. "

Qiao Wei has no resistance to her daughter's coquetry, rubbed her small head: "then you promise for a while, when you go home, don't take it away."

“…… All right Wangshu wants to take the little monkey home, but if her mother doesn't let her go, she will let the little monkey go.

Qiao Wei asked Wangshu to take the monkey back to the wing room: "just stay on the top and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Wang Shu responded obediently.

Looking at xiaowangshu holding a little black monkey back, Xiaobai is very alert. The smell on his body tells Xiaobai that this is the owner of the little black hair!

It's not enough to seduce Jingyun. Now it's time to seduce Wangshu!

Most of all, it's so ugly!

Xiaobai fiercely raised his claws and scratched chaozhu'er!

Pearl sprang out of Wangshu's arms with a scream.

Xiaobai chases pearl all over the house. Pearl slips down the building and Xiaobai chases out.

Wangshu also chased out: "Xiaobai! Monkey

Jing Yun yelled: "sister! Come back

But Wangshu ran away with two little things.
