Especially now, it's too late to build the palace, so naturally Fu Niu, a small princess palace, can't be taken care of.
If you don't take the initiative to ask for money, it will end up being nothing, just pay it back.
I'm afraid that someone will put that money into their own pockets and make it easier for those moths!
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou for your suggestion. I will talk to Mr. Hou about this in the evening." Mrs. Li agreed.
"Old Madam, you're welcome. I just want to say a few more words." Mr. Zhou hesitated for a moment and then said, "A few days ago, my wife came home and said that she felt very guilty for causing you trouble. Please forgive me, Madam. Sin."
Mrs. Li calmly replied: "Mr. Zhou, you are an old acquaintance with our villagers. You know that we are all ordinary farmers and don't understand any big principles. We only know that when people treat us well, we will treat them twice as much. It's just a reward.
"But if anyone plays tricks on us and bullies us, of course we are not cheap, and we have to stick to it!" Therefore, Mr. Zhou, don't think too much, we can just deal with each other from now on. The old lady pointed to the fruit trees on the mountain in the distance and added: "Friendship is like planting a tree. You give me a scoop of water and
I give you fertilizer. Only by supporting each other can the tree bear good fruit."
"But whoever does something wrong, chops down the middle, and the tree will slow down, grow scars, and survive after spring. I'm afraid that if the root is cut off with a knife to the left or the right, it will be completely hopeless. That's right. No?"
Mr. Zhou knew clearly in his heart that Mrs. Li was warning his wife not to play tricks with the Li family in the future, otherwise the friendship between the Zhou family and the Li family would be severed.
He nodded quickly, "The old lady is right."
But Old Madam Li waved her hand and said with a smile: "I am an old farm lady, I don't know anything, Master Zhou just doesn't mind me talking nonsense."
After everyone ate the fruit, Master Zhou He took the craftsman and said goodbye politely, agreeing to produce the drawings tomorrow and come over to start work the day after.
Mrs. Li was thinking about her granddaughter and went back first, leaving the village chief and others wandering around excitedly.
At this time, Li Zheng came across Dahuaishu, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang with villagers. From a distance, they greeted the village chief.
"Brother, I heard that our Suijintan is going to build an archway. We are all here to help! This is the glory of our three villages. You can't chase us away!"
The village chief greeted them with a smile and sat on the stone together. "Don't worry, you can't hide from my family's happy event even if you want to."
These three words, "My family", made the Li Zheng people completely relieved.
The village chief added: "Today, the officials from the Ministry of Industry and Yamen came to survey, and the construction will start the day after tomorrow. We can have five or six people in our village, and you three villages can also follow this number, with more than 20 people together, how can you do it?" It's enough to help the masters."
"Okay," Sanlizheng said with a smile, "The young and old men in the village are clamoring to come to work. They are very happy. When the time comes, we will choose the ones who are strong and strong. Yes, take care of the work and do it well."
The village chief added quickly, "Everyone just bring a pick and a shovel. We will have lunch here with vegetables and meat. You will be full!"
"Haha, great, everyone said The food in our village is the most delicious, and everyone
is in great luck." The three of them were praising it at all times, making the village chief and everyone happy.
Then Li Zheng from the big locust tree asked, "Brother, when you have free time, help us ask when this year's tax and grain will be delivered, so that everyone can prepare."
The Li family has discussed this matter, so Mr. Li Si quickly replied: "The emperor's favor is great. Our village just came to settle down and we were granted tax exemption for three years. This is only the second year, so everyone should pay the grain tax for this year and next year to the Yamen."
Sanlizheng didn't react for a while, and was very surprised when he figured it out.
The Li family has made it clear that they will not take advantage of the imperial court!
In fact, the entire Broken Gold Beach is now the fiefdom of the Li family. It is only natural that the Li family accepts the taxes and grain from their three villages. No one can say that it is wrong.
However, the Li family adhered to the original rule of tax exemption for three years for land reclamation and refused to charge them more tax for the past two years.
The village chief also knew about the Li family's decision. "Although the tax revenue of the three villages is not much, the capital has just been moved. There are too many people coming to the new capital. I am afraid that the emperor and the court are worried about food. It would be better to collect a few more bags." OK
"We have received many rewards from the emperor, and we already feel guilty because we cannot share the emperor's worries. Now that we can help a little, everyone is happy!"
"Yes, yes!" The other villagers also said: "We only rely on the other side of the valley. The grain collected is enough to fill our stomachs."
"How can we feed hundreds more people if we pay taxed grain to the court?"
"Yes, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are."
Three Li Zheng and the villagers they brought As I listened and watched, I couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder the Marquis is willing to live in Ruijintan, so many noble people are willing to come and go, and the emperor rewards him again and again.
People like Broken Gold Beach are just different from others.
A sincere heart always makes people want to believe and get closer...
With such a leader, as long as the three villages don't cheat on others and follow their footsteps, they will definitely have a good time!
"Brother village elder, if you have any work in the future, just call us. We are all a family and don't talk to us."
"Yes, our three villages are also the fiefdoms of the princess. We must give us a chance. The princess is doing her best."
The village chief smiled happily and gave them reassurance. "Don't worry, everyone. I just built an archway recently, but after the spring, I will build a bridge and pave the road. I will have to ask everyone for help. When the time comes, Just don't complain about being tired."
"No, no! How can you be tired when you work for your own family?"
The three villagers and the villagers all agreed happily. People who didn't know it looked at them and thought they were picking up food. How cheap is it?
After a few more gossips, everyone dispersed.
Li Zheng, the leader of the three villages, called for help the next day, collected the taxes and grains, and hurriedly sent them to the city.
Thinking that after paying the grain tax, they followed and built the archway!
The new capital was overcrowded, so a row of thatched huts were set up outside the city. People who came and went to deliver taxes and grains were registered here, and they were called.
As soon as people from Dahuaishu and Xiaowangzhuang arrived here, acquaintances came over to say hello.
"Why are you here? Aren't your three villages divided into fiefdoms?"
"Yes, even if you have to pay taxes and grain, you should also hand it over to Ruijintan, right?"
"Why, you don't want to accept Ruijintan? " Give taxes and grain to the court?"
Sanlizheng waved his hands quickly, wishing he had eight mouths to explain to everyone.
"It's not that we don't want it, it's that Broken Gold Beach doesn't want it!"
"Yes, the Li family doesn't want it!"
Others didn't understand and asked, "What are you talking about? Why doesn't the Li family want it? The food that was delivered to us was also pushed out. "You are really right! "
said Li Zheng from the big locust tree: "The Li family said that Suijintan has just been opened up, and the court has exempted taxes and grains for three years, and it has only been one year. So. , the Li family wants us to still hand over the taxes and grain for this year and next year to the court!"
