At this time, the other person couldn't help it, thinking of the previous things, Yang Chuxia could feel his anger when he sat in a high position.

He answered, "Madam, it doesn't matter if he gives us less relief food, the villagers in our village have long been accustomed to the days when they take refuge during the rainy season, so our food will be sent elsewhere in advance." Originally, we could barely live without relief food, but after that year, our village had no relief food, not to mention, and even the land tax was 30% more than others, 30%! And it is collected twice a year, in our Mianyang place, it is difficult to pay taxes once a year, but in our village it is twice! Even after last year's floods, we still paid heavy taxes when we didn't have our relief food, and every family sold their children if they couldn't pay the taxes. ”

Hearing this, Yang Chuxia's face also became heavy.

The imperial court has not exempted this place from taxes, including other flood-stricken counties in Jiangsu.

But the imperial court will only collect taxes once a year, and once it is 20% of the total harvest of each family. This tax is not a prescribed dead number, but floating, and is collected according to the harvest of your harvest. Compared with Funan Mansion, they all pay according to the death number stipulated by the imperial court, which is already very humane. It can be regarded as the imperial court's disguised reduction of the burden on Mianyang.

But now there is a 30% tax? Or twice, that is, 60% of the total harvest of the year is handed in.

"Go on, I'd like to hear what's going on!" Yang Chuxia was very angry at the moment.

The leader glanced at her and continued, "Later, we went to inquire, and the nearby villages were all 20%, only our village was 30%, or twice a year. And the reason for this is that the old man did the ghost at the beginning, their family has relatives in the yamen, and they let out a word, not to send the girl to Lizheng, our village has always been like this. Later, Li Zheng didn't want the whole village to suffer, so he wanted to send his daughter out, but the night before, our daughter of Li Zheng's family committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. Later, this matter was known to the old man, and he even let out the words, as long as he is there for a day, our Shoutao Village will always be like this. After hearing the news that day, we went as well. ”

"Bastard!" Yang Chuxia slapped the table after hearing this, and the anger made several people below startled. Thinking that Yang Chuxia was talking about them, he couldn't help but turn pale, and felt that the entire Shoutao Village was completely hopeless.

However, the next moment, Yang Chuxia's words raised a glimmer of hope for them, "Who is that master?" You can inquire whether it is a merchant or an official, I don't know that there is such a person in our Mianyang who covers the sky with one hand. ”

As soon as Yang Chuxia finished speaking, the leader was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "The Zhou family, it's the Zhou family!" ”

"Master Zhou's bookkeeper?" This is Yang Chuxia's first reaction, Master Zhou is in charge of taxes, and he really has the right to do this.

However, the leader shook his head, "It's not the master of Zhou's house, but it has nothing to do with his family, I heard that the old man and his brother-in-law are our master bookkeeper in Mianyang." ”

When Yang Chuxia heard this, he asked the people around him, "Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is also surnamed Zhou?" ”

Brother Xiao Li thought for a while and said, "Yes, Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is also surnamed Zhou, I heard that the Zhou master book still relied on the relationship of the same surname to the Zhou family in the county seat back then, and later sat on the main book with the help of the Zhou family, and married the daughter of the Zhou family." ”

"Very good, very good, the Zhou family is really powerful!"
