Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 869
Xiao Hong said lazily, "In my book, I feel that there are only a few important pieces of information related to the city lord of Yuncheng, one of which is that the eldest son of the city lord married the Qin family, a big family in the city. And there are people in the Qin family palace .”

Qiu Laifu looked at Hu Zi.Huzi looked at what he had sorted out and said, "The second son of the city lord has opened several gambling houses. He works part-time to collect usury loans. The third son of the city lord is mining iron ore."

After Huzi finished speaking, he spread his hands to indicate that he was done.

Qiu Laifu looked at Li Zhiyao.Li Zhiyao said with a flushed face, "The Lord of Yuncheng raised taxes privately."

After Li Zhiyao finished speaking, he sat down fiercely.I'm in a bad mood.He didn't expect the officials below to be so dirty.

Qiu Laifu glanced at the furious Li Zhiyao. "Tax increase? How much tax increase?"

Li Zhiyao passed the news he saw to Qiu Laifu.

"Twenty percent tax has been added. He is kind. Originally, there was thirty percent tax. After two percent increase, it will be fifty percent tax. Farmers can keep half of it." Qiu Laifuqing said calmly.

Li Zhiyao said angrily, "How can there be such a good thing? Most of the land is owned by big landlords, and they rent it to those farmers. They charge [-]% of the land rent. The government government charges [-]%. Another Add [-]%. The peasants only keep [-]%. Isn’t this forcing the government to rebel against the people?”

Hearing what he said, Qiu Laifu couldn't help but looked at him strangely. He didn't expect that this child had only been with him for a few days, and he already understood the term "coercion against the people".

"Which year did the tax increase start?" Qiu Laifu asked.

"Eight years ago."

"He started to increase taxes six years ago. It seems that this Yuncheng City Lord has become a lot of things. This year, everyone in Yuncheng will be exempted from taxes. The deficit of the court will be all paid by the Yuncheng City Lord." Qiu Laifu Still very calmly said.

Xiaohong said with some puzzlement, "Master, since City Lord Yun wanted to embezzle these taxes, how could he be willing to take out what he got to make up for this shortfall?"

Hu Zi despised Xiao Hong for a moment and said, "Since the elder brother has meddled in this matter, of course he can't make the decision."

Li Zhiyao lowered his head and did not speak, Qiu Laifu waited for him to speak, but he did not speak.

"What do you think?" Qiu Laifu asked.

Feeling Qiu Laifu's gaze, Li Zhiyao raised his head. "I also know that this should be rectified, but I don't know how to rectify it. Master can figure it out, and I will learn from it."

"Okay, let's see other news."

There are also a lot of messy news, such as collecting protection fees, robbing women, occupying land, and occupying shops.The lord of Yuncheng really did too much.

However, this cloud city is also a treasure land of geomantic omen.Rich products.Let him exploit like this, and the common people below will be able to survive more or less.

"Master, you said that the owner of Yuncheng is so exploitative, why do these ordinary people seem to be living well." Xiaohong felt a little contradictory, so she asked.

Qiu Laifu looked at the people present and found that everyone was looking at her.Probably this question is on everyone's mind.

"This is the luck of the owner of Yuncheng. Because the land under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng is fertile and has abundant water sources. Generally, it is not affected by the weather, and it can have a bumper harvest every year.

Moreover, this cloud city has convenient transportation, and it is also a gathering place for many businesses.So the prosperity here can continue. "

"It turned out to be like this." Xiaohong said that she had been taught, and everyone else in the room suddenly realized.

"Master, do we still need to take care of these things? Since this place is still prosperous, it means that the development of this place has not been hindered. Can we turn a blind eye to it?" Xiaohong didn't want to meddle.

The matter of Qiu Laifu's eyes looking at Li Zhiyao may be a matter of nostalgia to others, but to Li Zhiyao, it is a major matter, it depends on whether the child can figure it out.

Li Zhiyao glared at Xiaohong and said, "You are such a selfish villain, do you know that? The Lord of Yuncheng is the only one here, and a moth like him will grow fatter and fatter. In the end, he will be restless in this Yuncheng It is very likely to stir up trouble after hoarding a large amount of supplies."

Qiu Laifu nodded after listening, it seems that this child is worthy of being a member of the royal family, and he still wants to get those places when he thinks about things.

"According to the information you inquired in the beggar's den last time, it can be deduced that the Lord of Yuncheng is likely to take in those victims. And what will he do after taking in these victims? There are thousands of people outside."

"I think he will get these people to the mine to work for him. Those beggars said that if they can enter Yuncheng, they can find work." Xiaohong said.

Huzi added, "Those people are so pitiful. They were just hit by a hailstone and ran here. They may jump into another fire pit again."

Li Zhiyao had doubts in his heart again. "But there are many women and children among those people."

Huzi glanced at Li Zhiyao.This child who grew up in the deep palace probably couldn't imagine the danger outside.

"Those women and children are easy to deal with. For example, let them sign a contract of sale, and after selling themselves, they can buy and sell at will. Those are all money."

Although Huzi's words were cold and heartless, what he said was the truth.

"Then let's persuade those people to go back to their hometown. Let them go home and rebuild their homes. They don't have to fall into the fire pit set by the Lord of Yuncheng." Xiaohong immediately expressed her idea.

None of the people present expressed any other opinions. Qiu Laifu patted the table and said flatly, "This idea is good. Let's follow Xiaohong's idea. Let's not care about the affairs in Yuncheng. These victims were persuaded to go back.

But let them all go back, unless they have enough money.Let's make preparations tomorrow, prepare enough dry food or plate meals for those victims, and then persuade them all to go back to their hometowns.By the way, let's also go to those affected areas and send the food we chased there first. "

Li Zhiyao asked awkwardly, "Master, when will we come back? I still want to pull out this cancerous tumor in Yuncheng."

Qiu Laifu glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, he will be back soon, let him enjoy himself for a few days."

It was night, and Qiu Laifu was going to visit the home of the city lord of Yuncheng.Before she set off, Hu Zi came to her door.

Looking at Huzi in black clothes and black pants with a tight waist in front of the door.

Qiu Laifu asked, "What are you doing?"

Huzi pointed to Qiu Laifu's black tights and said, "I want to go out with you."

"Xiaohong and the others fell asleep?"

I only heard a crisp child's voice coming from the dark. "Master, I plan to go out with you. So I haven't slept yet."

Qiu Laifu looked into the dark shadows and asked, "Who else is here? Come in."

As a result, Xia Houyu and Li Zhiyao were also here, all dressed in black.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Qiu Laifu asked seriously.
