Chapter 1641 Summer Harvest in Luxi Village ([-])
The maids shouted succinctly and powerfully, each time they shouted, they took a big step forward, and pointed their shiny arrows at the crowd who rushed forward excitedly.

After drinking three times in a row, the distance between the government servants and the villagers reopened, and the maids with crossbows stood in the middle to divide the two sides, clearly distinguishing each other.

The protected yamen servants were sweating profusely, and their hands were wet, especially the hand holding the knife. Of course, they knew what would happen to them if they were surrounded by excited villagers. At this time, they would escape death.

"Don't stand around stupidly, come back to work, release all the people on the tree, let's reason, don't fight and kill, first collect taxes, after collecting taxes, refund the overcharged, everything ends here , or you will have to do it again during the autumn tax."

The deputy housekeeper stood up to call the shots, and the yamen servants dared not refuse to listen, let alone refuse to obey. The maid with the crossbow was still standing in front of them. If they didn't cooperate at all, they would die here.

The yamen servants nodded in agreement, and the maids holding crossbows rearranged the queue of the villagers. The person who paid the tax before was in the front line, and the overcharged tax money was recovered on the spot, and he happily went home with his family.

When the other villagers saw that the man had really refunded the money, their hearts became hot, and those who had been overcharged patiently stood by, counting how many people still hadn't paid their taxes.

The people of Qizhuang sit in town here, and the speed of paying taxes is much faster. The main reason is that the deputy housekeeper settles the accounts on behalf of the yamen servants. Any number comes out of her mouth as soon as she opens her mouth. He didn't finish dialing a single number, and when he figured it out, he found out that it was exactly the same as that of the deputy housekeeper.

This happened several times in a row, and the onlookers booed for a while, so the yamen servant had no choice but to put the abacus aside and let the deputy housekeeper participate in the calculation.

The tenant farmers who have no money in their hands are relieved when they know that the tax they have to pay is much less. Afraid of not paying enough, he would be tied up on a tree for public display.

After hearing the news, the landlords of the three families knew that things could not go as they wished, and they didn't dare to say anything when they were dissatisfied. The people in Qizhuang would protect the servants from injury, but they really dared to shoot arrows at them.

In front of the military background, their landlords are just ordinary people.

The tax collection in the village went smoothly, and the crowd did not disperse even after dark. They spontaneously lit torches and paid all the taxes overnight, and refunds for overcharges will start tomorrow.

The gang of yamen servants who were really busy all afternoon and one night were too tired to turn their minds, and the Jiang family who entertained them to stay in their guest room gave them good wine and food, but they couldn't say a few words to them and gave them some eye drops. , In the end, only the hot water for bathing was hurriedly delivered and then retreated.

Early the next morning, the servants who hadn’t had enough sleep forced themselves to get up, and showed up at the center of the village on time, setting up tables and chairs. While they were busy, the villagers who wanted to get their money back spontaneously formed a long queue. The people on site supervised the same as yesterday.

The yamen servants did not dare to procrastinate. The deputy housekeeper was on the sidelines to settle the accounts. How much should be paid, how much should be paid, and how much should be refunded. The yamen servants who kept the accounts were not as fast as she was dictating.

This move alone stunned everyone present.

The deputy housekeeper still had a calm face, thinking that this was nothing to make a fuss about, claiming that if he didn't have the skills, why should he take this job, and Boss Qi would not support idlers for nothing.

The villagers and yamen servants all felt that this remark was very reasonable.
