Chapter 355： No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

Chapter 355 No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

Especially now, it’s too late to build the imperial palace, so naturally we can’t take care of the small princess palace of Fu Niu.

If you don’t take the initiative to ask for money, it will be nothing, just pay it back.

I'm afraid that someone will put the money into my own pocket and make it easier for those moths!

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou for your suggestion. I will talk to Mr. Hou about this in the evening." Mrs. Li agreed.

"Old Madam, you're welcome. I just want to say a few more words." Mr. Zhou hesitated for a moment and then said, "A few days ago, my wife came home and said that she felt very guilty for causing you trouble. Please forgive me, Madam. crime."

Mrs. Li calmly replied: "Mr. Zhou, you are an old acquaintance with our villagers. You know that we are all ordinary farmers and do not understand any big principles. We only know that when people treat us well, we will repay them twice as much.

"But if anyone plays tricks on us and bullies us, of course we are not cheap, and we have to stick to it! So, Mr. Zhou, don't think too much, let's just deal with each other in the future."

The old lady pointed to the fruit trees on the mountain in the distance and added: "Friendship is like planting a tree. You give me a scoop of water and I give you fertilizer. We support each other so that the tree can bear good fruit."

"But whoever does something wrong, chops down the middle, and the tree will slow down, grow scars, and survive after spring. I'm afraid that if the root is cut off with a knife to the left or the right, it will be completely hopeless. That's right. no?"

Mr. Zhou is aware that Mrs. Li is warning his wife not to play tricks with the Li family in the future, otherwise the friendship between the Zhou family and the Li family will be severed.

He nodded quickly, "The old lady is right."

Old Mrs. Li waved her hands and said with a smile: "I am an old farm lady and I don't know much. As long as Mr. Zhou doesn't mind me talking nonsense."

As soon as everyone ate the fruit, Mr. Zhou and the craftsmen politely left, agreeing to produce the drawings tomorrow and come over to start work the day after.

Mrs. Li was worried about her granddaughter and went back first, leaving the village chief and others wandering around excitedly.

At this time, Li Zheng, who came across the big locust tree and Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, came with villagers. They greeted the village chief from a distance.

“Brother, I heard that we are going to build an archway in Suijintan. Let’s all come to help! This is the glory of our three villages. You can’t push us away!”

The village chief welcomed them with a smile and sat on the stone together. "Don't worry, you can't hide from your family's happy event even if you want to."

The words “own family” made the Li Zheng people completely relieved.

The village chief added: "Today, the officials from the Ministry of Industry and Yamen came to survey, and the construction will start the day after tomorrow. We can have five or six people in our village, and you three villages can also follow this number, with more than 20 people together, how can you do it?" It’s enough to help the masters.”

"Okay," Sanlizheng responded with a smile, "The young and old men in the village are all clamoring to come to work, and they are very happy. When the time comes, we will choose the strong ones and take care of them to do the work well. "

The village chief quickly added, "Everyone, just bring a pick and a shovel. We'll have lunch here with vegetables and meat. You'll be satisfied!"

“Haha, that’s great. People say the food in our village is the best. Everyone is in luck.”

Three Li Zhengs were full of praise at all times, making the village chief and everyone happy.

Then Li Zheng from the big locust tree asked, "Brother, when you have free time, help us ask when this year's tax and grain will be delivered, so that everyone can prepare."

The Li family had discussed this matter, so Li Laosi quickly replied: "The emperor's grace is great. Previously, our village just came to settle down and was granted tax exemption for three years. This is only the second year, so everyone, this year Let’s pay next year’s grain tax to the Yamen.”

Sanli Zheng didn't react for a while, and when he figured it out, he was very surprised.

The Li family has made it clear that they will not take advantage of the imperial court!

In fact, the entire Broken Gold Beach is now the fiefdom of the Li family. It is only natural that the Li family accepts the taxes and grain from their three villages. No one can say that it is wrong.

However, the Li family adhered to the original rule of three years of tax exemption for land reclamation and refused to charge them more tax and grain for the past two years.

The village chief also knew about the Li family's decision. "Although the tax revenue of the three villages is not much, the capital has just been moved. There are too many people coming to the new capital. I am afraid that the emperor and the court are worried about food. It would be better to collect a few more bags." Okay. "We have received many rewards from the emperor, and we feel guilty that we cannot share the emperor's worries. Now that I can help a little, everyone is happy! "

"Yes, yes!" The other villagers also said: "We only rely on the grain harvested from the valley, which is enough to fill our stomachs."

“How can we feed hundreds more people by paying tax and grain to the imperial court?”

“Yes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.”

Three Li Zheng and the villagers they brought were listening and watching, and they couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder the Marquis is willing to live in Ruijintan, so many noble people are also willing to come and go, and the emperor rewards him again and again.

These people in Broken Gold Beach are just different from others.

A sincere heart always makes people want to believe and get closer...

With such a leader, as long as the three villages don't eat in and out and keep up the pace, they will definitely have a good time!

“Brother village elder, if you have any work in the future, just call us, we are all a family, don’t talk to us here.”

“Yes, our three villages are also the fiefdoms of the princess. We must be given a chance to do our best for the princess.”

The village chief smiled heartily and gave them reassurance, "Don't worry, everyone, we are just building an archway recently, but after spring we will build bridges and pave roads, and we will have to ask for help from everyone. Just don't feel tired then."

“No, no! How can you be tired when you work for your own family?”

The three villagers and villagers all responded happily. People who didn't know it looked at them and thought they had gotten something cheap.

After a few more idle words, everyone dispersed.

The three villages were in full swing. On the second day, they called for help, hauled in the tax grains, and hurriedly sent them to the city.

Thinking about paying the grain tax, they followed and built the archway!

Xindu was overcrowded, so a row of thatched huts were set up outside the city. Those who came and went to deliver taxes and grain were registered and registered here.

As soon as people from Dahuaishu and Daxiawangzhuang arrived here, acquaintances came over to say hello.

“Why are you here? Aren’t your three villages divided into fiefdoms?”

“Yes, even if you have to pay tax and grain, you should also pay it to Broken Gold Beach, right?”

“What, you don’t want to accept Shaijintan and want to hand over taxes and grain to the imperial court?”

 Sanli Zheng waved his hands quickly, wishing he had eight mouths to explain to everyone.

“It’s not that we don’t want to hand it over, it’s that Broken Gold Beach doesn’t want it!”

“Yes, the Li family doesn’t want it!”

Others didn't understand and asked, "What are you talking about? Why don't the Li family want it? Are the grains delivered to you still being pushed out?"

"You are really right!" Li Zheng of the big locust tree said: "The Li family said that Suijintan has just been opened up, and the court has exempted taxes and grain for three years, and it has only been one year. So, the Li family We are asked to still hand over the taxes and rations for this year and next year to the imperial court!”
