Chapter 19 Kangxi Ye Shengming
"Not a single one?"
Master Luo counted the list in his hand again, but he was still not at ease, so he asked Li Shi.
"One for another, there shouldn't be less."
Li Shi looked at the "Nahu License" in his hand again, and it read "Kangxi Fifty-one Years" written below, Master Luo was very busy yesterday, first moved Wen Bai to General Bing, asked him to cooperate, and then opened a new list for Fengtian Village that had been stamped with the "grain receipt" seal, indicating that this year's imperial grain has been delivered. The list is specially indicated that it is a self-sealed cabinet, and it is not necessary to sign it. And the premise for the people of Fengtian Village to get this list is to hand back last year's list.
This is the condition negotiated between Li Shi and Li Zhushou, in addition to cleaning up Lai Yipin, Li Zhushou also promised to waive this year's imperial grain, and even re-drew the map for Fengtian Village, so that they could get rid of Zhong Shang's control, and this price is only a drop in the bucket compared to Li Zhushou's future.
Originally, Li Xi didn't care much about this imperial grain, what he wanted was not to be an honest citizen for a lifetime in the braided dynasty. However, if you don't mention some conditions, you can't reassure Li Zhushou's heart, and the surname Suo will receive some favors.
After confirming the number of lists, Master Luo let out a long breath, patted Li Shi's shoulder, and turned around and left with a tacit understanding that didn't need to be said. Xiao Shengxiao, who was on the other side, gave up his hand to Li Xian, and accompanied Master Luo to leave with a complicated expression.
The villagers of the entire Fengtian Village either looked at Li Shi blankly, or looked at the new list in their hands stupidly, with unbelievable expressions on their faces.
Lai Yipin, who was bullying them, is it over? And the imperial grain and national tax, which also overwhelmed them, will not only be exempted this year, but will it be a large part less in the future?
God, you're not dreaming, are you?
Many old men and old ladies also gnawed their fingers to confirm that they were not in a dream.
"The fourth brother is really the son of Brother Li......"
The "tenant" of Li Shi's family, the farmer Lin Dashu had an indifferent face, and only let out such an emotion.
Guan Fengsheng and Tian Dayou came to their senses at this time, laughed out loud, and the villagers also laughed, they have been pressed by the evil wolf for many years, struggling on the line of food and clothing, and now the shadow on their heads has disappeared, how can they not laugh? The old man snickered with his toothless mouth, the young man hugged and pulled his voice and laughed, the eldest mother and little daughter-in-law had tears rolling in their eyes, the iron bumps in their hearts disappeared, and they supported each other, just afraid that their bodies would be soft and they would sit on the ground with their butts.
Tian Dayou's eyes rolled around, and after looking for a long time, he realized that he had made a fool, and shouted at his son and asked him to hurry up and drink.
"I'm going to have a good drunk today!"
His face was flushed, and he got drunk before he drank.
"Fourth brother, let's nominate you to be the chief!"
Some villagers shouted out first, and everyone quickly echoed in unison. The county magistrate agreed to redraw the map, so that the people of their village can form a group by themselves, although there are ten long households in the village, but the meaning of the villagers' words is that they want Li Xian to do the role before Yipin.
"No, no, Li Xian is young and ignorant, how can he take on such a big responsibility......"
Li Shi hurriedly refused, joking, becoming the lieutenant governor is equivalent to being sent under the nose of the official master, which is not a good errand. But after thinking about it again, it's actually not a big deal, isn't he already under Li Zhushou's nose now?
"Fourth brother, it doesn't matter if you are the head of the house, anyway, the whole village will listen to you now."
Guan Fengsheng's eyes were hot, he originally thought that his daughter was no longer safe, but he didn't expect that Li Shi went out for a spin, and when he came back, he took the government to clean up Lai Yipin.
"Yes, fourth brother, you let our whole village get out of the sea of suffering, such a heavy kindness, everyone doesn't know how to repay it."
Tian Dayu also said repeatedly, originally he didn't expect much from Li Shi.
"This is not the credit of me Li Shi alone, Lai Yipin is just seeking his own death, seriously speaking, this is everyone's credit."
Li Shi's words, everyone only thought that he was humble, and many people bowed their heads in embarrassment, thinking that Li Xi was mocking them. Lai Yipin came to rob people before, but they didn't dare to stop them, and now that they think about it, they feel a little sorry in their hearts.
"Uncle Guan, why did you get such a list last year?"
Li Shi turned to Guan Fengsheng, who frowned and recalled.
"Well, when it comes to this, I still have to wipe my sweat when I think about it. Last year, Lai Yipin originally gave us a white list, but we didn't recognize it, there was no official list from the government, who did we hand over this imperial grain to? If the government comes to collect it again, everyone can't afford to sell their houses and sell people anymore! So everyone made an appointment, and if they didn't give the official list, they wouldn't pay the grain! Lai Yipin gave us the list. ”
Guan Fengsheng said with palpitations, Li Shi also wanted to get it, the whole village could unite in this matter, but he made a lot of determination. It was precisely because they united that Lai Yipin was forced to collude with the county bookstore and open a list that read "Fifty Years of Kangxi", thus leaving his life. This Lai Yipin is not only greedy, but also stupid, but if it weren't for "Li Si" becoming Li Si and jumping out and stabbing into this fateful door, Lai Yipin would not have received retribution.
As soon as Li Shi told the story before and after, the villagers suddenly realized that this was really the reason why they were united. But the people of the village did not accept the credit calmly because of this, without Li Shi, how could they have so much insight and know how to take advantage of this opportunity.
But then the reason for the incident was clarified, and the emotions of the villagers began to sublimate.
"Last year's imperial grain, as well as the previous arrears, are actually free."
"Kangxi...... Shengming ......"
"The Emperor's Benevolence ......"
The villagers were full of emotion, and bowed to the north one after another, seeing Li Xian's eyes twitching, they were very helpless in their hearts, there was no way, who made the people in the world believe that the emperor has always been a saint.
"Kangxi Ye is really a saint, he shouldn't let those bad people do evil!"
Second Sister Guan held Li Shi's sleeve and said in a low voice, while Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi, who were still guarding her, were nodding, and Li Shi suddenly felt a warm flow through his heart. It's still a pure-hearted child who is easy to teach, but after being infected by him for a few days, he understands this truth, but unfortunately, the older he gets, the more things he has experienced, but the more he doesn't understand.
"Although the emperor is sage, Li Zhixian is also a blue sky, let's pool money and send a plaque."
The psychology of the villagers, Li Xian is now powerless to correct, so he has to turn to this matter. It's time to give Li Zhushou a small gift, what kind of Wanmin umbrella blue sky plaque do they like most as "clean officials".
"Yes, yes, Li Qingtian!"
The villagers bowed in the direction of the county seat.
"Fourth brother, I'm afraid that Master Zhong ......"
Guan Fengsheng was still sober, reminding Li Shi that there was another big scourge.
"Don't worry, Uncle Guan, without Lai Yipin's minion, it will be a long time before he can bite us again. But at that time, it is impossible to say who the tiger is. ”
The corners of Li Xian's mouth curled up the arc that Guan Fengsheng was familiar with, and with this arc, Guan Fengsheng was at ease.
"Hey, where is Mrs. Liu?"
Speaking of minions, Li Xi suddenly remembered that there was still someone missing.
"That fat winter melon woman, it's like rolling when you run, but it's fast!"
Second Sister Guan Gege smiled.
"You, you can run fast enough, even your sister can't pull it, it's not that the fourth brother came just in time, you have been snatched back to Zhongfu by Lai Yipin!"
Guan Tian didn't know when he came out of the house again, and while pretending to reprimand Second Sister Guan, he threw himself at Li Shi with a flattering smile. Behind her, Guan Yunniang looked at Li Shi, her eyes were different from before, no longer the kind of complaint, as if she had just known Li Shi. Li Shi glanced over casually, and Guan Yunniang quickly buried her head again, but this time she didn't turn around again.
