The talented lady is busy farming

Chapter 501 War
Xia Wan cleaned up everything here, and Mrs. Zhang was so busy washing the dishes and helping the kitchen that she didn't even have time to look up, and Wang Dali was also helping.

When Xia Wan came in with a tray, Wang Dali was serving a bowl of water to Mrs. Zhang. Xia Wan saw the two raised their eyebrows slightly. The two seemed a little different.

Before Xia Wan could joke a few words, he heard the sound of gongs clearing the way on the street in the distance, "My little boss, it seems that the county government has something to announce, do you want to go and have a look?" Wang Dali said.

"There aren't too many customers now. I'll go out and have a look. We'll call it a day after we sell out all the things we prepared today. Everyone is too tired recently." Xia Wan put down the tray, wiped her hands and went out.

Because of Xia Wan's wharf restaurants, many other small businesses gradually appeared near the wharf, all of which were small stalls and hawkers, which made the wharf area a lot more lively.

As soon as Xia Wan went out, many people greeted Xia Wan. Speaking of which, they also thanked Xia Wan. If there were no restaurants in Xia Wan's pier, the pier would be cleaned up, and they would not have such a good place.

"Xiadong's family, let's go, let's go and have a look. I don't know what the county government is going to say. I hope it's not a tax increase. Xiadong's family can read and write. Read any notices for us." A middle-aged man selling clay figurines The young man said.

"Okay, I'm also joining in the fun, I hope it's not a tax increase. Speaking of which, our county magistrate still loves the people like a son." Xia Wan said, and followed people to the market in front.

"Everyone can see clearly that these sixteen people came to our Qingcheng County more than half a month ago to commit crimes and oppress good people. They were arrested by a righteous man and sent the news to the master's desk to eliminate harm for the people. These [-] people have been sent to the army, everyone can rest assured, the master will clean up the market well in the future, so that the common people can live and work in peace, everyone can rest assured." A guard said while beating the gong.

When Xia Wan heard it, it turned out that the previous incident had a result. I didn't expect that the county magistrate was quite efficient, and he was sent to the army so soon. These people deserved what they deserved.

"In addition, the imperial court issued an official document that this year's tax and grain foot money will be collected in cash. The foot money of each household is calculated according to the tax and grain paid. The tax grain foot money per mu is [-] cash. Let everyone tell each other." The yamen servant saw that there were many people around, and released a blockbuster.

"What? We need silver for foot money, my God, isn't this preventing us ordinary people from living? One mu of land is one hundred wen, where can we get so much money?" An old man almost couldn't stand up.

The other ordinary people were also in an uproar, and the crowd was so excited that they almost did it, "Shut up what you are shouting about, this is an edict issued by the imperial court, who dare not listen to it, the weather is going well this year, and it has been years since this year. Taxes have been raised, but it’s not enough.”

"Let me tell you, the Northwest is at war again. Isn't this raising a little food for the army in the Northwest? Are you coming out?" The guard also got the instructions from above, and explained the matter clearly in a few sentences.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. It turned out that there was a war in the northwest. Once there was a war, it was just a little extra money. , even scraping off the flesh and blood of ordinary people is common, not to mention just this.
