Chapter 430: Life Is Not Easy
How could the iron catcher take these small things in his eyes, not to mention that there is Lord Fuzun standing behind him now, just his identity as a headcatcher, he does not need to be afraid of this threat.
Just watching the people leave, Liu Laohan was deeply uneasy, and after some hesitation, he still said to Lin Haoran: "Lin Gongzi, you are not an ordinary person at first glance, but this Master Chen is really unprovoked, or you should leave quickly!" ”
"What is the origin of this Master Chen?" Lin Haoran asked with interest.
Liu Laohan sighed deeply, and then said with a solemn and fearful face: "Master Chen's son is a scribe who eats imperial grain in the county government, and his cousin is ...... Lift people, sir! ”
In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to be a scribe in the county government is already extremely powerful, and lifting people naturally needs to look up even more. It is precisely like this, this old man Chen is an absolute overlord in these nearby villages.
"It's okay!" Lin Haoran learned the details of the other party and said lightly.
With his current status, how could he still be afraid of a scribe and a lifter, and he was not even worthy of carrying shoes for him. In the entire Leizhou Mansion, I am afraid that there is no one who makes him jealous.
Liu Laohan can also be regarded as a person with eyes, looking at the momentum of these people and the reaction of this son, guessing that this young man may be the son of an official master's family, he just said no more.
Liu Laohan's home is close to the east end of the village, and when you enter the door, there is a patio, and behind the patio is the main hall, a very ordinary house. However, in this house, not a single decent piece of furniture was found.
The iron catcher is five big and three thick, but he is actually a bold and careful person. The probe saw that there were not a few stools in the main hall, so he found an excuse not to enter the house, and chose to let the house out at the door.
"Aman, come out and boil some boiling water for the guests!"
Liu Laohan led Lin Haoran to the main hall and sat down, shouted towards the room on the right, and then hurriedly hung the fishing nets in the patio. This is a tool for him to make a living, and he seems to cherish it extraordinarily.
Lin Haoran only took Tiezhu and Sun Jixiang into the house, and the girl from the tiger girl was still staying on the woman's side, I am afraid that she wanted to gossip about the reason why the woman was bullied. What makes him feel helpless is that the girl with a full sense of justice may have something to do for him again.
A beautiful head of a young girl peeked out of the room, it was a pair of black and white eyes, and the face looked pretty. When she collided with Lin Haoran's gaze, she was also stunned.
Lin Haoran immediately recognized that this was the mud girl who sold fish last time. But I never expected that this girl would look so smart, especially those big eyes with a hint of ambition, like a seductive little fox.
It's just that what makes him feel strange is that this girl named Ah Man did not run to the kitchen immediately, but suddenly hid back in the room, as if she had never appeared.
"Aman, do you hear it, come out and boil some boiling water for the guests!"
Liu Laohan was drying the fishing nets, and seeing that the person had not yet come out of the room, he shouted loudly again.
After a while, the shy figure ran out and walked towards the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Lin Haoran looked at the youthful figure, and a wry smile appeared on her face, because she saw that the girl's clothes had been changed, and there was an extra wooden hairpin on her head.
Obviously, this girl is the age of Huaichun, and I am afraid that she likes a rich and powerful boy like him. It's just that under the influence of later generations, he has a kind of respect for girls, and feels that what happens to this kind of girl is definitely a sin.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to like this kind of young girl, but he prefers Mrs. Jiang's who smells of a woman, the kind of woman who does not need to bear the guilt and gallops to her heart's content.
After drying the fishing nets, Liu Laohan walked back and sat down with a low stool.
"Old Liu, what's going on with that woman just now?" Lin Haoran was also idle, so he inquired about the grain harvest.
Liu Laohan is a cheerful character, and immediately vomited bitterness: "There was originally a large field on the edge of our village, but it could also allow us to live." But when the springs were blocked, the fields were also deserted, and they could no longer be cultivated. It's just that on the county government's "Fish Scale Atlas", the thin field in our village is also listed as Shangtian, which is ...... Who can afford it? ”
"I remember that the "Fish Scale Atlas" was made every three years, and the county government didn't know about this situation?" Lin Haoran asked quietly.
"What if the county government knows? The rich families pay for it, and the taxes in Haikang County cannot be reduced, so naturally it is the people like us who have no power to suffer! Liu Laohan had a bitter face, and then sighed and said: "Originally, we still wanted to farm, knowing that this grain had to be paid anyway, but didn't there be a big typhoon at the end of August?" The thin field we cultivated was really unyielding! I have some strength to catch some fish to fill it, but Liu Cui's man is no longer there, and I have to pull two children, where can I get money to fill it? ”
Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that things would be like this.
It is not that the woman maliciously resists taxes, but that there is no harvest in the fields at all, and she needs to find a way to get money to pay taxes. But how can a woman with two children get this money?
In fact, the most excessive thing is not the tax payment, but the fact that he has to pay the tax and grain on the field even though he is cultivating the thin field, which is a great injustice. If it is a good year, it can survive, but a year like this kind of grain harvest is really forcing people to death.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the plan proposed by Jia Yingchun, the secretary of the household department, to increase taxes, and officials who collected less than ninety percent of the grain were not allowed to be promoted.
It is conceivable that after the implementation of that decree, this kind of violent grain requisition will inevitably become extremely common in other counties of Daming, and even worse than in previous years.
In order to be promoted, officials can be grandchildren, not to mention just violently expropriating grain from ordinary people.
Sometimes, what seems to be a policy that is good for the country is actually harming countless ordinary people. Until now, he has always felt that Jia Yingchun is inferior to Fang Dut, let alone a qualified household secretary.
It's just that in other areas, Lin Haoran can't control it, but in this Leizhou capital, especially in this Haikang County, he seems to have the ability to change this injustice.
He remembered that next spring he would rebuild the "Fish Scale Atlas" once every three years, and as long as he was willing to put in the effort, he would indeed be able to help the villagers of Koizumi Village turn the upper field into the lower field.
Of course, although he brought fairness and benefits to the common people, he was bound to be disgusted by the rich, which made him have to consider it carefully.
He is not the stupid girl of the tiger girl, he always does things according to his temperament, and he prefers to consider the gains and losses of interests.
