Zhao Shi and He Juzheng also reported the issue of severe taxation to their superiors.
They even complained that the harvest in their village was not good at all and that their county town was almost dying of poverty.
But the people above seem not to see their difficulties.
They were required to pay taxes continuously.
And they have to pay half of the grain.
They kept urging them like this, even though Zhao Shi and He Juzheng had already reported it to them many times.
But they still let him hand it over, and He Juzheng couldn't help but doubt whether the official he became could really benefit the people in his hometown, and thus doubted the court he was in.
The war between the imperial court and other countries continued year after year.
However, the officials in charge were enjoying peace and prosperity, which led to the continuous loss of cities.
The emperor above didn't even bother to care about the lives of the people.
They were all drinkers and meat lovers, indulging in sensual pleasures, and even kept many skinny horses from Yangzhou.
Even He Juzheng and Zhao Shi didn't know what to do. They reported it to the people above them, but they never cared about the lives of the people. They could only deceive the people above them when they collected taxes.
See if we can get them to reduce taxes a little.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes have brought a qualitative improvement to the lives of the entire village, because the sweet potato cycle is so short that it can bear fruit in ten days. It is also called the fairy fruit bestowed upon them by the gods.
The people in Xujia Village finally solved the problem of food and clothing, but according to the advice of the village chief, they still concealed the sweet potatoes and replaced them with potatoes.
They also notified the people in Wangjia Village next door not to report the concealment, so their apparent grain production was still rice, but the sweet potatoes and potatoes were secretly grown by them.
Jiang Jiang also taught them how to store sweet potatoes and potatoes.
They dried them and waited until winter to eat them, which made the people of Xujia Village and several neighboring villages very grateful.
Hearing Jiang Jiang's voice,
Village Chief Xu knew that Brother Sun and Aunt Sun were not good people.
So that day, Village Chief Xu came to the house of Brother Sun and Aunt Sun. The two of them were covered in dust and dirt, and no one knew what they were doing. Village Chief Xu was obviously going to kick them out.
Before, he didn't know enough about these two people's background, so he softened his heart and took them in. Now he knows that these two people are not good people.
So the village chief, adhering to the principle of "less trouble is worse than more trouble", spoke lightly and gave them all the dried sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"Brother Sun and Aunt Sun, you have been in this village for such a long time. It's time to go back and see your families."
Aunt Sun's eyes were filled with tears. "Village head, are you going to chase us away? We have no family, and we are brothers and sisters who depend on each other for survival. I was just passing by your village, and I didn't expect you to chase me away."
Village chief Xu saw that Sun Er and Sun Dan Niang were so ungrateful.
So he took back the dried potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hand. No, he couldn't give them to them. He couldn't let them get away with it.
He's still staying in their village and refuses to leave.
He heard Jiang Jiang's thoughts. These two people were stung by bees. They couldn't escape the relationship with Jiang Jiang, but the village chief naturally favored Jiang Jiang.
After all, Jiang Jiang is a member of their village. The situation is becoming increasingly difficult and a little dangerous, and the village chief does not want to create unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, she drove the two away in both words and deeds, but Aunt Sun continued to act like a rogue. Her eyes became even more pitiful, and she was about to touch the village chief's arm. Village chief Xu was really scared to death.
This. What the hell is this?
He now has a deep psychological trauma towards this woman.
He even addressed them directly.
"This house is still occupied, so you should leave and don't stay in this village anymore."
“No!”
There are still traces of bee stings on Brother Sun’s face, which have not disappeared yet.
At this moment, he was staring at the village chief Xu as if the village chief Xu owed him something.
Village chief Xu was also very angry. He had taken in these two people with good intentions, but he didn't expect that these two people would shamelessly stay in their village and refuse to leave. Haha.
Otherwise, he would have to tell Jiang Jiang and let Jiang Jiang give these two people a good beating.
The village chief heard Jiang Jiang's thoughts and knew that these two people were not easy to meet, and they also had martial arts skills.
This was something that a skinny old man like him could not meet, so the village chief returned to his own village.
Brother Sun and Aunt Sun, on the other hand, began to doubt their lives.
"Could it be that we were discovered here by them?"
“Is that you?”
Brother Sun couldn't help but look at the stupid Aunt Sun with a cold look.
"Why were you like that again? You spoke to this old man in an impatient tone. Do you know that he is the head of the village? If there is any disturbance, both of us will be finished, not to mention..."
