    The boat was about to arrive at Yongyang Town, everyone packed their things and walked to the bow one after another.

    After passing the intersection of Heshui and Lushui, Fei Chun pointed to the front and said, "Both sides of Heshui River are our territory!"

    Liu Ziren looked at the lush seedlings on both sides of the bank, and exclaimed: "The rice seedlings here have the best growth rate by taking a boat all the way here."

    Fei Yuanjian was a little confused: "Why didn't I see it?"

    Liu Ziren explained: "Don't just look at the places next to the river, you have to look farther away. Look at the paddy fields in the distance, the seedlings are very green in color, and other counties along the way, as long as they are far from the water source, they are already drought-stricken.  It's a little yellowish."

    "Is there no spring drought here?" Fei Yuanjian asked doubtfully.

    "It's also dry, look at the river on both sides." Xu Ying pointed to the bank.

    The water level has dropped significantly, and the dried sludge can still be seen on the river bank after the water recedes.

    Soon, they witnessed a lively scene.

    ?Because the water level in the river has dropped a lot, the water truck can no longer lift water normally.  So more than a dozen people stood by the river and used wooden barrels to fetch water all the way to the bank, and then poured the water into the diversion canal to facilitate the irrigation of paddy fields near the canal.

    It has been flowing to the end of the canal, and a water storage pit has been dug temporarily.  Villagers farther away can carry water from the puddles instead of having to go far to the river.

    Liu Ziren grinned and said, "I like it here."

    "The government and the people are of one mind." Xu Ying commented.

    This kind of practice seems simple, but it must be organized by authoritative people.  Otherwise, there will be countless disputes along the canal, and there may even be group fights for grabbing water.

    Coming all the way from Qianshan Mountain by boat, only Yongyang Town can do it.

    "Shift changed, shift changed!"

    Another group of people came to the river, and those who had carried the water before went ashore smiling, talking and laughing with each other.

    A half-hearted missionary officer said by the river: "See, this is what the peasant association is for. It's not a hundred times more convenient than carrying water to irrigate the fields? This peasant association was established by the Datong Association for us farmers um," the missionary officer suddenly  Stuck, I looked down at the small book and continued, "The farmers' association is our farmers' association. The farmers' association is to help farmers"

    "Xiao Xianggong, stop chanting, just like a monk chanting scriptures." Some villagers complained.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed suddenly, and regarded the missionary officer as a storyteller.

    This Mr. Xiao is a Tongsheng from the Xiao family in Yongyang, and he is obviously not very proficient in business.  He continued to flip through the small book and said: "What is the Great Harmony of the World"

    "Everyone has a field to cultivate, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear!" A villager has learned to answer quickly, "I read it every day, every day, and I can recite it by heart."

    There was another burst of laughter.

    The mission officer surnamed Xiao finally got angry: "Don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet!"

    "Speak, Mr. Xiao." The villagers laughed.

    The mission officer walked up and down the river with his head held high and his chest held high, saying, "What does everyone have to farm? All the land in the world is occupied by the emperor's relatives, by civil and military officials, and by honorable gentry.  You occupy tens of thousands of acres, and he occupies thousands of acres. We ordinary people have no land to cultivate, and can only be tenants to farm for the landlord. Do you think this is the truth?"

    "yes!"

    The villagers shouted in unison and stopped joking and making trouble.

    The mission officer didn't look at the notebook any more, and walked around with his hands behind his back: "If the landlord has land in his hand, he can bully the tenants. The rent of the land can be set as much as he wants. When there is a famine and a bad harvest, he will fight big and small. He will let it go."  For loan sharks, five cents a month is considered less, but there are seven or eight cents a month. The tenants are busy all year round, and the harvest is all the landlord's, so they can't even eat enough. Is this the truth?"

    "yes!"

    The villagers took the time to shout while carrying water.

    The missionary officer continued: "The tenants are so miserable, but those who have their own land can live well? As long as they are not big landlords, they will not have a good life."

    "The imperial court increases taxes every year, and the county magistrate also changes the method of apportionment. There is also the whip method, which only collects money and does not collect grain. Tenants do not have to pay land taxes, but small landlords have to. Small landlords with only a few tens of acres of land  , Sometimes I don¡¯t have any money to pay the whip tax? I can only use the grain to go to the money and grain shop to exchange for silver, and I will be cheated by the big landlord.¡±

    "The intention of this whipping law is good. It includes the land tax and miscellaneous taxes. After paying the whip tax, you should not pay other miscellaneous taxes. But until now, after the whip tax is paid, there are miscellaneous taxes.  It is equivalent to paying miscellaneous taxes twice. There are many miscellaneous taxes, but it does not collect money, and let farmers send their grain to the county government. Hey, the soap official kicks you, and you can kick a few catties.  full, force you toA traitor is a thief's wife," Fei Rulan laughed as she said it herself, "I've lived for almost twenty years, and I always thought that my husband would be a scholar full of knowledge, but I really never thought that I would be a bold and daring traitor."  .  This anti-thief rule is very weird, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully.  I can't take the lead in breaking the rules he set, can I?  "

    Xiyue is uneasy, but yearns for it. From now on, she can no longer kneel down to others, and she is still a free person without a contract of prostitution.

    Two maids, one old and one young, learned that the mistress was coming, so they also put down their work and came to see her.

    "Ma'am!"

    The two said a blessing, and couldn't help secretly looking at his wife. She was indeed handsome and dignified, worthy of our Mr. Zhao.

    Fei Rulan smiled and asked, "What's your name? How long have you been with Mr. Zhao?"

    The young maid said: "My name is Huang Zhaodi, I'm from Wuxing Town, and I've been with my husband for more than half a year."

    The old lady said: "My name is Huang Lishi, and I have been here for more than half a year."

    "Both surnamed Huang," Fei Rulan asked Xiyue to fetch some copper coins, "It's the first time we meet, let's take it for tea."

    "Mrs. Xie."

    The two maids were quite happy, and felt that the lady in front of them was more generous than Mr. Zhao.

    Xiyue was a little angry, and almost reprimanded them, because when they received the reward money, they didn't kneel down to thank them.  Maybe it's okay to get acquainted, but it's the first time you meet, you have to kneel down and thank the master for the gift!

    Fei Rulan still had a smile on her face, asked a few more questions about the situation, and then led them to tidy up the yard.

    Even the furnishings in the room are very particular.

    The two maids were in admiration, thinking that Madam is too powerful.  The same thing, just moved the position, it seems much more pleasing to the eye.

    ? When Zhao Han came back from get off work, the house was completely new, and even the nooks and corners were wiped clean.

    Although Zhao Han didn't ask for anything about it, he still felt very comfortable, and the exhaustion from a tiring day disappeared instantly.

    (Thanks to Xiao Miaomiao for rushing forward, the leader of genius945 for fighting, and thank you all book friends for your rewards and support. By the way, please ask for a monthly ticket.) </div&gt
