casket of old days

Chapter 5 Comfort (Thanks to 'Passerby Chacha' for another reward from the leader)
In the past few days, Chu Qiguang had heard about the headmen in the village scrambling to collect grain, and they were looking for the poorest and weakest villagers in the village who were the easiest to bully.

And since his father and elder brother went up the mountain to cut firewood and disappeared, there are only three orphans and widows left in Ergou's family, and they have become weak and deceitful fat sheep in the eyes of some people in the village.

Steward Wang pointed at Chu Qiguang and scolded angrily: "It's against you! Do you know what a county magistrate in Liushui and a government office made of iron are? Do you want to kill the whole village?"

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed. According to the memory of Ergou and the information collected by Chu Qiguang, according to the system of the Han Dynasty, the county government was responsible for managing the county town and several villages within its administrative area. For example, Wangjiazhuang and nearby villages belonged to Qingyang County jurisdiction.

The administrative structure is very similar to the Ming Dynasty on Earth.

The situation in the county flashed through Chu Qiguang's mind like lightning, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: "The structure of the county government in the Han Dynasty is very similar to the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and it is no different if they collude with each other to squeeze the people."Will this world be a parallel world? '

But Chu Qiguang didn't care about Steward Wang's accusation. Judging from Ergou's memory, the Wang family, a small landlord, has very limited financial resources and contacts. Most of the time, the yamen is used to bluff people in their mouths. of.

Feeling the relief of physical symptoms, Chu Qiguang said slowly: "The wealthy households in the village evade taxes and corvee, why should we come to find compensation?"

Steward Wang said in a cold tone: "Just wait, if my master hadn't bought your fields with kindness over the years, you would have been arrested and taken into the county, confiscated, and exiled for three thousand miles!"

As he said that, Steward Wang had already led the two servants towards the outside of the house.

The head of the village also stood up, looked at Ergou's mother and said, "The county is still waiting for an answer. There is still a month's deadline for the mission to come. By then, the food and tax demanded by the top will not be enough. No one will think about it." Better off."

Seeing the two who were about to leave, Ergou's mother panicked again, and Aunt Chen said, "If the food tax is not enough, the villagers in the nearby villages will all be imprisoned."

But Chu Qiguang became more and more radiant as he talked, and all the symptoms of discomfort disappeared. He simply continued: "Let the county investigate and find out who has the problem."

The head of the village glared at him, pointed at Chu Qiguang's face and said, "Just make trouble, it's best to implicate the whole village, and we'll all die together!"

……

In the earthen house, Ergou's mother watched everyone leave and became worried: "Goofy, this is going to make trouble in the county, what should I do?"

Chu Qiguang patted his mother on the shoulder: "Mother, don't worry, this matter will not be troubled by the county. The Wang family concealed Ding Tian the most and evaded taxes the most.

There are no scholars in their family, let alone juren, they just rely on the momentum of domineering in the village in the past, and then bribe a few scribes, so that they can hide it.

Even if we don't pay it, they will pay the food tax.They didn't dare to bring the matter to the new county magistrate.In that case, they would have to spend more money to buy the notification county, which would be much more than the few acres of land and the few taels of money our family could squeeze out. "

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "They will definitely choose to solve this matter in the village. According to what they did in the past, they just want to convince people."

Ergou's mother's worry was not lacking at all: "But in this way..."

Chu Qiguang smiled, and Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "It's okay, I have my own way."

Looking at the backs of Steward Wang and others leaving and disappearing, Chu Qiguang felt relieved for a while, the original anxiety and boredom were instantly swept away, sweating and legs stopped shaking, and there were no signs of the illness just now. I feel like I'm doing it again.

Chu Qiguang thought with comfort and helplessness in his heart: "It really is this problem... I am paying attention to dependent personality disorder, and I have not found any other mental illness that other people can suffer from except me."

"Hey, once you get addicted, if you don't slap a few people who don't like you, you'll die if you don't show off."
