Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 163
Early the next morning, Qin Shou walked to the village chief's house, but he was thinking about how to deal with Sun Sijin. This girl is not only the village chief of Qingshan Village, but also the son of the patriarch of the Sun clan. A battle between two great surnames.

In villages with complex surnames, it is not uncommon to see such battles between surnames. For example, if the Sun family dares to bully the Qin family, other Qin family members will stand up to support them. If the dispute escalates, it will be a war between the two surnames. A big melee couldn't be more difficult.

Qin Shou didn't want to cause this kind of battle, so he had to outsmart it. If it didn't work, he would set fire to the Sun's family. Qin Shou thought viciously, but Qin Shou quickly extinguished this idea. It was not a matter of life and death. Revenge, don't do such immoral things.

When I came to the door of Sun's house, I knocked on the door a few times, and I heard Sun Sijin's questioning voice from inside: "Who is it?"

"Me!" Qin Shou replied simply, without saying who he was.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Sun Sijin's voice came from the yard.

Qin Shou opened the door and went in, seeing Sun Sijin and the patriarch Sun sitting in the courtyard, first he smiled at the patriarch Sun, walked to the stone table and sat down.

Patriarch Sun also smiled at Qin Shou and asked, "Is there something wrong with Zichang?"

Qin Shou nodded and said, "I'm here to inquire about taxes. The land I bought before didn't harvest crops, so it should be them who pay the taxes. Why is it all on me?"

Hehe, Sun Sijin sneered twice, and gave Patriarch Sun a wink. Patriarch Sun understood, and said to Qin Shou: "Since it's a business matter, I'll avoid it, you guys talk."

Seeing the two people's eye contact, Qin Shou didn't make a fuss, just responded with a faint smile, watched the patriarch Sun enter the house, and then turned to Sun Sijin, wondering what this guy had to say.

"Zichang, you came at the right time. If you didn't come, I would have gone to find you."

Sun Sijin spoke first, seeing Qin Shou's puzzled face, chuckled a few times, and said, "I don't want to collect this tax, but the higher-ups. You also know that the country is in trouble, foreign enemies invade, the treasury is empty, and you can buy land." People who betray their country and seek glory will be taxed, so it can only be said that you are unlucky."

What Sun Sijin said seemed to be true, Qin Shou narrowed his eyes, he had never heard of this matter at all, even if the tax was increased, it would not be such an addition.

Seeing Qin Shou squinting and staring at him without saying a word, Sun Sijin was confused, but soon a smile appeared on his face, even if Qin Shou had an opinion in his heart, it was useless, and he was going to be drafted soon, hehe, Sun Sijin was in a bad mood Smile without showing it on your face.

After coughing, Sun Sijin looked at Qin Shou sadly, and said, "Zichang, Uncle has some bad news to tell you. I wanted to wait two days to tell you, but you're already here, so let me tell you now." You."

Seeing a cold light flashed in Sun Sijin's squinted eyes, Qin Shou's heart shuddered, and a bad feeling came to his heart. Could it be that this kid has already suffocated other bad things?

Sure enough, I heard Sun Sijin continue to say to Qin Shou: "A few days ago, the government issued a conscription notice, and your name was included. Someone will come to take you in two days, so you should be prepared. Don't go out."

Hmph, Qin Shou leaned back, stared at Sun Sijin and asked, "Is this the meaning of the county, or the meaning of Village Chief Sun?"

"Hey, this is of course the county's intention. I'm just a small village chief, how can I have such great power." Sun Sijin argued, his eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look Qin Shou directly in the eyes.

"Really?" Qin Shou asked quietly, stood up and said, "I will hand in a lot of taxes. As for the husband's service, let's wait for someone from the government to come. If you are still blind, you will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing!"

After speaking, Qin Shou turned around and left, but the seeds of hatred in his heart were planted. When Qin Shou was really angry, he would not point someone in the face and scold them, especially for villains. The more you scold him, the happier he is. The best way to counterattack is to hit his vitals hard, making him unable to turn over.

Taxes are just a small amount of money. If this small amount of money can make Sun Sijin relax his vigilance, then Qin Shou will be happy to spend this small amount of money. Real revenge is definitely not something that small money can solve!

If Qin Shou's guess is correct, the conscription should be for the construction of the imperial palace, but I don't know where the list is now, so I have to ask Qin Lizheng about it. Originally, Lizheng should be the one who decides the affairs of the village, but Qin Li Zheng didn't want to offend anyone, so major matters such as taxation and conscription were delegated to the village chief, and he was able to avoid it.

After leaving the Sun's house, Qin Shou changed his way directly to Lizheng's house. Before entering the door, he heard Qin Lizheng's call in the courtyard, instructing Qin Feng to do things. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's efficiency.

"Grandpa, you're at home." Before Qin Shouren arrived at the door, his voice yelled out first.

When he heard Qin Shou's voice, Qin Lizheng was immediately delighted, and responded loudly: "Zichang is here, come in quickly."

Hey, Qin Shou responded, pushed the door open and went straight in, and saw Qin Feng lying there with his buttocks curled up, writing, it was An Min's notice.Qin Shou went up curiously to have a look. There was nothing new, that is, things like the victory of the Yue family soldiers, so that the villagers could work with peace of mind, without worrying about the invasion of foreign enemies.

"Zichang, didn't you go to the mountain to watch?" Seeing Qin Shou coming, Qin Feng threw away the pen in his hand, turned his head and asked, his eyes kept blinking at Qin Shou, as if asking for help.

Qin Shou couldn't help being amused, Qin Feng is still the same as before, he doesn't like to study Chinese, let alone writing, it seems that after writing these words, he already wants to escape, so he said: "No, Brother Qin Feng, go and watch for me. .”

Hey, Qin Feng responded with a smile, turned his head to look at Qin Lizheng pitifully, immediately amused Qin Lizheng, and waved Qin Feng to leave, this kid really has nothing to do with him.

When Qin Feng walked out, Qin Lizheng patted the stool, let Qin Shou sit beside him, and asked with concern: "Is the business going well?"

"Well, it's going well. The shopkeeper is watching the business, so I'm just going to take a look." Qin Shou replied.

"Have you been out recently?"

Qin Shou nodded, and said: "There is an important patient in Lin'an, and I have to go to acupuncture for him today. It takes five days for acupuncture. Yesterday was the first day. If you come back in the next few days, you will have to run around. If there is no important thing, I shouldn't come back often."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't come back if there is no important matter. Qin Feng and your guests are here to help keep an eye on it. Nothing will happen. Your guests have seen big winds and waves. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes." Qin Li Zheng thought of Steward Feng's bearing and speech, and he also admired it.

Qin Lizheng was not mistaken about this point. Butler Feng was the one who had managed the No. [-] estate in the world. Qin Shou's small family business was not in his eyes, so Qin Shou left so reassuredly, and didn't worry about the villa at all. It's broken.

After thinking about it, Qin Shou asked, "Grandpa, do you know who usually holds the list of conscripts?"
