Leisurely ancient daily life

Chapter 244 Reward 2
The officials under the old banyan tree overheard the women saying this, and the corners of their mouths twitched, a group of ignorant women.

How can there be any cloth rewards?

Uncle Lin felt embarrassed when he heard such a sentence or two in the noisy voice, so he hurriedly winked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng received it immediately, nodded, and immediately spoke loudly to quiet them down.

Everyone became a little quieter.

Only then did the magistrate nodded in satisfaction, and said a few polite words, nothing more than praising Lihua Village, and also named Uncle Lin as the village chief.

He also said to the villagers: "It is a great blessing for you to have such a village chief."

Then he talked about how the other villages are doing, how good their village is, it all depends on Uncle Lin.

The villagers agreed with this point, and they all nodded in agreement.

A gratified light flashed in Uncle Lin's eyes after being recognized, not because he wanted them to reciprocate, but because he was relieved to see that they all recognized him.

The official also kept nodding, and immediately took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket, and then began to read aloud what he praised them in his letter, and said what the reward was.

It's rare for You Ran in the crowd to come out to join in the fun today. Although the Wo family is very comfortable these few days, the news in Lihua Village has to be known.

That's why she approached Qin Sang and came together, while Liu's family was a month old and there were many people here, so she didn't ask her to come together to avoid collisions.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the reward at the moment, even if someone saw Youran, they would not be interested in inquiring about Xia He and the Xu family.

Then leisurely heard the official under the tree start talking about
Reward, everyone around can't help but quiet down and listen carefully.

Qin Sang also stared at the official under the tree without moving his eyes.

Seeing them like this, Youran couldn't help but get nervous, and listened attentively, following the officer's nonsense, Youran made a complaint secretly, and grasped the point.

I saw the official said: "Except for arresting refugees, there is a subsidy for the casualties, and another year of food tax exemption... plus 500 taels of silver. The village chief of Lihua Village will reward another 100 taels."

As these words fell, the villagers below exploded one after another, extremely excited.

"A year of grain tax exemption?!! Is it true or not?! Then I have to pay this year, maybe it will start next year?" A man couldn't help asking the people around him happily after hearing this.

"That must be it." The others also replied with joy on their faces.

"One year's grain tax, the saved grain, next year the children of the family will have enough to eat." A thin and somewhat hunchbacked man said happily to the old woman beside him.

The old woman nodded again and again, she was so happy that she couldn't speak, and there were still tears in her eyes.

On the side with more women, the voice is shriller and louder, chattering.

"500 taels?!! My God!!"

"Ouch, come and pinch me, isn't this a dream?? Really 500 taels!?
"How many things can this buy?!" A woman grinned from ear to ear.

"That's right, I thought what kind of reward could be contained in such a small plate, but I didn't expect it!! It's actually silver!!" The other woman was also ecstatic.

A full 500 taels, what kind of concept is this.

It can only be said that ordinary farmers here are considered wealthy if they can save a few taels of silver a year, not to mention that there are some people who work hard all year and can barely feed their families, and some people even save on food. Yes, where is the money left?

So for them, the 500 taels of silver was something they couldn't even dream of.

But other families who obviously had casualties at home heard that there was compensation, but they already wiped away their tears. So what if there is compensation?They would rather have relatives than those money.

But the relatives will not be able to come back, but some money can still help them and make their lives easier.

And it's also because they caught refugees in Lihua Village, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't care about the casualties caused by the refugees' injuries. After all, there are so many people that they can't handle it.

So, compared to other villages, Lihua Village is much better.

Just as the people were beaming with joy, the official just handed over the rewards to Uncle Lin and Lin Feng, and immediately looked at the smiling villagers of Lihua Village, shaking their heads and laughing too.

Although they are ignorant and ignorant, seeing them happy makes people feel much better, and even the noise around them becomes bearable.

But the officer still has important matters to attend to. After giving the things to Uncle Lin, Lin Feng, he prepared to leave with his subordinates.

Uncle Lin and Lin Feng sent them two steps away, and they didn't stop until they were mounted on horses, and the officer asked them to stay.

So the magistrate left with a group of people.

Only then did Uncle Lin remove the red cloth from the plate he was carrying, revealing the white silver ingots inside.

It caused everyone to gasp, and then their eyes lit up and they cheered.

Uncle Lin also laughed, waved his hands to calm them down a bit, and then smiled kindly: "Are you all happy?"

All the people in Lihua Village naturally smiled and cheered happily.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Lin laughed again: "Then let's all stay here first, and let's talk about how to use the 500 taels of silver, okay?"

Everyone was eager to hear what Uncle Lin would do with the 500 taels of silver.

At this moment, when Uncle Lin said that he wanted to talk about this matter, he naturally nodded consciously and agreed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Uncle Lin nodded, found another place to sit casually, and greeted with a smile: "Leave one person in the family, and you can go back first if you have something to do. I will let other people tell you about it later. Don't worry if you don't know." What's the matter, just do it as usual, if you want to stay, just find a place to sit down, we have to talk about it for a while."

It's just because there are some elderly people in the crowd, if they stand all the time, they can't bear it.

But there were too many people, the shade under the old banyan tree, and the shade near the old banyan tree couldn't sit or stand so many people, and the sun was so fierce, so some of Uncle Lin went back first.

After all, people in the village inform each other, and they are not afraid of not getting news.

Lin Feng was more clever, and had already taken a few young men to borrow stools from nearby people's homes, and arranged them as usual for meetings.

Since Lei Ran is here, she naturally needs to understand, so of course she won't leave.

Qin Sang didn't move, obviously he was going to hear the last one.

So this time, no one left. After all, no one was looking forward to this.

So in the end, only a few children who were sent away by their mothers left.

Uncle Lin wasn't annoyed when he saw that they didn't leave, he just asked them to make way for the older villagers to hide in the shade of the trees, and the younger ones, it didn't matter if they stayed in the sun for a while.
