Chapter 193
Autumn harvest is over!

The weather is fine, the rice is easy to dry, and the villagers are busy pounding rice.

Looking at the sky that still shows no sign of rain, everyone is worried that this year's autumn harvest will be okay.

The question is, if it has not rained, what will happen next spring?
The water in the reservoir will dry up soon, how will we live next year?How to boil it?Drinking water is a problem, let alone growing crops.

Li Mo is also worried, and has already started to dig a well. The sky does not save people, people save themselves!

"My lord, this is a document issued by Fucheng, and the food tax has to be paid again." The master handed an official document to Li Mo with a sad face.

Li Mo read the official document at a glance, feeling very uncomfortable.

When the summer grain was harvested, there was already a drought, and there was a plague of locusts. Fortunately, the harvest was two or three days earlier, otherwise the common people would say that there was no harvest.

The drought has lasted for a long time, and the government has not received any relief money or food, and now they have to collect taxes.

It is understandable that the war needs a lot of food, but why didn't the court consider it? This is a disaster area. Could it be that the emperor really couldn't see it when he entered the Golden Luan Hall?

The drought and locust plagues involved a wide range of people fleeing famine everywhere. What did they use to pay taxes?

Since they can't pay taxes, does it mean that they still owe taxes to the court, and when they return to their hometown one day, they will have to make up for it, so how can everyone live?

Li Mo didn't know what the emperor was thinking, maybe the emperor didn't know at all, but the people below were acting mischievously.

In ancient times when information was underdeveloped, all the materials available to the emperor were given to him by these ministers, and they would only show him the good ones, not the bad ones.

Li Mo looked at the official document and was silent for a long time. The master sighed: "My lord, what should I do, should this document be distributed?"

Now that the official document has been issued, Fucheng will send people to collect the grain in two days. The problem is how can the common people have so much grain to pay taxes!

Li Mo finally spoke slowly: "Master, what will happen if you don't pay taxes?"

The master was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground: "My lord, you don't really want to resist the decree, do you?"

Li Mo looked at the sky without a trace of dark clouds: "You just say what the consequences will be."

The master said tremblingly: "If you fail to pay the tax, you will be sentenced to exile, and you may even beheaded!"

After speaking, he confirmed again and again: "My lord, are you really going to refuse to pay the food tax?"

Li Mo smiled slightly: "That's not true, I just asked."

Master patted his chest: "I'm going to be scared to death by you, don't scare my old man like that next time, as I'm old, it's easy to be scared to death."

Song Min looked at him speechlessly: "Master, are you very old? Since you are old, you should go home and live in peace, and give up this position."

The master rolled his eyes: "I'm just talking, why are you excited, I think you are spying on my position, hmph, villain."

The master just breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mo's next words made his heart rise to the top of his voice, wishing he could disappear immediately, he had never seen Li Mo.

Li Mo: "See how much money is left in the account."

Master hurriedly covered his heart: "My lord, what are you doing again?"

Li Mo: "This year's taxes will be paid by the Yamen."

When the master and Song Min heard this, they looked at Li Mo in disbelief: "My lord, are you serious?"

Li Momei stared: "Is it true or not, hurry up and check how much money is left in the account."

Song Min was very excited. The yamen paid for it and saved a lot of food for the common people. How can this kindness be repaid.

The master looked at Li Mo as if his parents had died, and said loudly, "My lord, are you crazy? Do you know that since the store and the logistics company stopped operating, the yamen basically has no income.

In addition, the wages of the servants have to be paid, the hospital is still operating, and the school is teaching normally.

There are also so many people in the disaster-stricken area, eating, drinking and drinking are all paid by the yamen.

If you are not in charge of a family, you don’t know how much firewood and rice are expensive. How long has it been? "

Li Mo also knows that the finances are tight now, the garment factory is operating normally, and a large amount of inventory has been made.

But none of them were sold. Those employees in other factories didn’t go to work, so they didn’t get paid. However, garment factories work on a piece-rate basis. They have to pay wages for making so many clothes, and they pay wages on time.

The wages of government servants cannot be owed, the wages of garment factory employees cannot be owed, the wages of medical staff in hospitals cannot be owed, and the wages of teachers in schools cannot be owed.

There are also food for so many people, feeding of so many horses, plus all kinds of usual things, these are huge expenses.

When the locust plague occurred, all the pesticides were paid by the government, and there were various aftermath work after the disaster.

In addition, the digging of wells today is also paid by the yamen.

After listening to the master's words, Song Min fell silent. From the excitement and excitement at the beginning, he calmed down now.

There are so many people in Songjiang County, so many taxes, all paid by the Yamen, the people are relieved, but the Yamen is insolvent.

Li Mo: "If it's really not enough, I'll think of a way."

The master was heartbroken: "What can you think of, and who are you planning to rob?"

Li Mo: Master, you are telling the truth.

Lin Ling walked in at this time and looked at Li Mo firmly: "My lord, I think the logistics company should be put into operation."

This was the first time Lin Ling spoke to Li Mo after the last incident. Although it was still very awkward, the little girl let go of her knots and started to face her life bravely and firmly!

For Lin Ling, Li Mo felt very guilty, she deserved the best man to cherish her.

It's a pity that I am not a leader, and I can't give her the happiness she deserves.

Li Mo shook his head: "After a while, the outside is really in chaos. It is really unsafe for you to go out like this. I have said that money is not the most important thing, but life is the most important thing. We are not at the end of the mountain yet. At this point, I don’t want you to be in danger.”

Lin Ling became anxious: "My lord, it's not an option to go on like this."

Liu Fang also ran over: "My lord, let's start working, don't be afraid, we have a lot of people, we can beat them."

More people ran into the study and expressed their opinions one after another, that is, the shop must be opened.

Li Mo looked at everyone and said slowly: "If the person who robs you is an old man, a child, or an unarmed woman, are you still going to do it? People really can do anything when they are hungry.

Trading companies in other places have a long journey, and the refugees they encountered along the way were not one or two, but countless.

How many of you can handle it? When people are always tired, two fists are no match for four hands. "

Everyone was silent. If they were really unarmed civilians, they wouldn't have the heart to beat them.

But if you don't drive them away, things will be taken away. If you do, you have to do something, and someone will be injured or even die.

As the adults said, when a person is hungry, he can really do anything.

In the end, the store and the logistics company were still not in operation, and the master still took out money from the warehouse to advance the huge tax payment for everyone in Songjiang County.

The master was so heartbroken that he didn't sleep well for several days, and the account was empty. He was really afraid that if something happened, he really wouldn't be able to pay a penny.

After the heartache, Master picked up a brush and wrote a lot of big-character posters, and pasted them in every corner of Songjiang County to let everyone know that this year's tax was paid in advance by the Yamen. .

In front of each big-character poster, people gathered, and everyone was discussing and praising Li Mo's kindness!

...

The long-awaited imperial court relief food finally arrived. Although it was long overdue, it still came.

However, the funds for disaster relief food are really unsatisfactory.

Li Mo stared at the official document in his hand dumbfounded, it was written clearly and plainly: ten coins per person, one catty of rice.

Li Mo asked the master: "What does the imperial court mean? Is this little silver and this little grain used to feed cats?"

The official servant sent by the government office twitched his eyes, what did he say, he didn't want to live anymore?
Li Mo looked at the official: "Are you sure the things were delivered correctly?"

The official sent: "Go back to Mr. Li, Mr. Taishou's official document has written clearly. If Mr. Li has something you don't understand, you can ask Mr. Liu."

Of course you have to ask, Li Mo went to Fucheng as soon as the officials left.

In the prefect's mansion, Prefect Liu was trying to figure out the abacus. The government's disaster relief funds were finally distributed, and it was time to do a big job.

Thinking about my small treasury, it has not been filled for a long time, it is time to decorate it, and I am planning happily in my heart.

There was a loud bang, and the door of the study was kicked open.

Liu Taishou was furious: "Damn it, who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall?"

A crisp voice sounded: "Master Liu, long time no see."

Governor Liu threw away the abacus, stared at Li Mo with big eyes on the copper bell, and said hoarsely, "Li Mo, what are you doing here?"

With a strong swing, Liang Xu inserted the sharp sword directly into the table, even making a buzzing sound.

Taishou Liu trembled in fright and dared not speak.

Li Mo directly slapped the official document on the table: "Master Liu, tell the subordinates that this is not true."

Liu Taishou's eyes flashed, and he quickly calmed down: "Of course it's true, isn't it written clearly in black and white?"

Li Mo kept staring at their eyes, the quick flash did not escape Li Mo's gaze.

Li Mo directly picked up the lapel of Liu Taishou, clenched his hands into fists, and made a cracking sound: "Master Liu, I don't want to ask you a second time!"

Liu Taishou smiled awkwardly: "What I said is true, if there is a lie, it will be struck by lightning."

Li Mo: "That's good, show the official documents of the court to the lower officials."

Liu Taishou's face changed: "Where is there any official document!"

Li Mo was an impatient person, he punched him directly in the face, the pain made Taishou Liu yell: "Li Mo, how dare you commit the same crime, I will kill you."

It can be seen that Li Mo didn't come to Fucheng for a long time, and Liu Taishou had forgotten the feeling of being beaten.

Liang Xu brought Taishou Liu over: "Lord Li, be careful not to hurt yourself, I'll do such trivial things."

After speaking, he punched Taishou Liu in the stomach, and Taishou Liu almost fainted from the pain, but he still didn't forget to call for help.

But the people outside have long been controlled by Chunfan and others, and not even a fly can enter this study.

Li Mo looked at him coldly: "Where are the files?"

Prefect Liu was about to speak when Liang Xu punched him in the ribs again, and he could already hear the sound of bones dislocated.

Liu Taishou felt that he was going to die. Who are these people? He is more terrifying than that devil Li Mo.

Weakly said: "It's on the bottom floor of the table."

When Li Mo took out the document to look at it, he was so angry that he slapped Prefect Liu twice again. Damn it, this is still a human being.

Perplexed, he kicked two more feet.

Liang Xu glanced at it, silently took out a dagger, and handed it to Li Mo: "Master Li, use this, you won't be tired!"

Li Mo took the dagger and stabbed it into the palm of Liu Taishou's right hand, directly piercing the palm, and a heart-piercing sound of pain resounded through the sky!
Liu Taishou looked at Li Mo in horror, but Li Mo looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "Master Liu, you are so powerful, you dare to be greedy even for the small amount of disaster relief food for the common people, you still not human!
Is your heart made of stone?It is clearly stated in the document that 10 catties of rice and [-] Wen per person, but you have embezzled [-]% of it, you are still not a human being, damn it, you are a beast, see if I don’t beat you to death. "

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the dagger, Liu Taishou completely passed out, but was awakened by Liang Xu's tea!
In the end who gave him the guts, [-]% of the [-]% will be greedy.

Counting up, did the court decide that one person should have fifty catties of rice and one hundred Wen?

It shouldn't be that much. Now that the productivity is so low, Li Mo guessed that there should be 20 catties of rice and [-] Wen coins. It's just that after such a process, in the hands of Liu Taishou, there is only so much left.

Prefect Liu had never been so embarrassed before. He was beaten by Li Mo before, all at night, and he never slapped him in the face.

But this time, Li Mo was ruthless, beating wherever he went, only making Liu Taishou suspicious of his life.

Li Mo told Liang Xu: "Take your people to supervise the prefect Liu, and take out all the money and food embezzled, and distribute it to the common people, including other counties."

"Yes!"

...

Winter has passed and spring has come, and the people in the disaster-stricken areas have survived another year, and the time has come to the beginning of February.

I saw dark clouds shrouding the top of the head, and there was a "boom" thunder, which exploded above the head.

The sky suddenly darkened, and as soon as I looked up, I saw dense dark clouds in the sky on the horizon, floating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's going to rain, it's going to rain."

Seeing the dark clouds in the sky, someone has already rushed to tell each other.

The people in the field hurriedly looked up at the sky, and the people in the house ran out quickly.

An old man was already kneeling on the ground: "The Bodhisattva has finally manifested."

The rain started to fall, and it was getting heavier and heavier. The rain and fog had filled the air, and I couldn't even see the road clearly!
It has been raining for a long time, a full day and a night, and it seems that it will rain all the rain last year to make up for God's guilt towards the people.

This is a timely rain. If it doesn't rain again, I don't know how many people will die in other places this year.

After the spring rain, all things are moistened and become more vibrant. Wild flowers of various colors are blooming all over the mountains and plains at random.

Songjiang County, which has just been washed by the rain, looks cleaner, especially the tiles exude a faint halo, which is really beautiful in the morning light.

Seeing Li Mo walking out, Mrs. Zhou hurried over, reached out and touched her clothes, and said with a bit of worry: "Mo'er, why did you go out in such light clothes, the spring cold has not yet passed, go quickly Add an extra coat."

Li Mo: "Mom, I'm in good health, but I sweat easily if I wear too many clothes."

Mrs. Zhou wanted to persuade her again, and Ye Huamei also came out, showing a big smile first, and then said: "Ma'am, don't you exercise every day, sir, how can you be afraid of the cold?"

Xiaowen got ready to go to school, came out dressed neatly, and said proudly, "I'm not afraid of the cold either."

Zhou said with a smile and cursing: "You are the only ones who are used to her."

Master has been depressed for a long time since he emptied the warehouse last time.

This sudden heavy rain completely healed his heart knot.

Because, the logistics company and all the stores have started to operate normally again.

Everyone has held back for so long, and now they just want to have a big fight, even Li Mo.

She has written all the plans, what new products will be developed this year, what will be planted in the village, and so on.

The reduction in sugarcane production years ago made the villagers heartbroken for a long time, but fortunately, the harvest is not complete. This year, some people have prepared to plant a few acres.

In short, the entire Songjiang County is busy with spring plowing!
However, the arrival of a large group of people broke the peace of Songjiang County.

A gust of wind suddenly picked up, rolled on the ground, and rolled across the spacious street with a whistling roar, so that everyone on the street had to cover their eyes, mouth and nose, and covered their eyes with long sleeves, barely blocking those The raging wind.

After the wind stopped, the people found that a large group of people stood at the gate of the yamen.

Chunfan and the others have long been ready for battle.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant.

The leader who came here looked at Li Mo condescendingly: "Lord Li, the prince has an invitation."

　Li Mo: If there are too many monthly tickets, the prince will be abused tomorrow!
