    ??

    Early in the morning when you visit Hancun, smoke is rising.

    Every household is cooking with firewood, and there is an endless stream of voices scolding the children to work or eat less.

    Chickens, ducks and geese ran outside in groups.

    There were also three or five old men gathered under the tree stump early in the morning, chatting while waiting for the meal to be ready.

    These are all old men in the village who are not too poor. They are hunched over and chatting about which of their grandchildren has entered the city.

    It¡¯s the annual farm break again, and it¡¯s better to go to the city to find odd jobs and earn a few coins than to stay idle at home.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for the old men whose families are in a little trouble, they have no time to talk to others. They sit on the small benches in front of their homes, with sad faces, and are thinking about the quota for the corvee that is most painful to the peasant families.

    Which kid in the family should be allowed to go and who should not be allowed to go.  Such a major matter ultimately requires the decision-making of the backbone of every household.

    Since this incident happened, there have been reports of quarrels and fights between certain families in the village every three days.

    Zuo Lizheng has been very busy recently.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? While all the families are busy mediating, there are countless families who are breaking up.

    On the other hand, we still have to force ourselves to urge each family in the village to pay the head tax in silver, or to decide which of the strong laborers they can spare and do the corvee work.

    Always give him the list or money as soon as possible.

    ??????????????????????? According to what the officials who came to report last time said, they will be here today.

    "Look, he was worrying about the corvee collection again this morning, and he didn't even stop for breakfast.

    One of the family members with the surname Zuo, who was not close to him, was standing in the main room of his house, with warm sleeves in his hands and red eyes, and said: "Fifth Master, our family is really in trouble, so we can just sell the shabby thatched house."  We don¡¯t have to pay the poll tax. But you also know the situation of my family. Dalang died two years ago, Erlang was weak from birth, and I really can¡¯t bear to leave Sanlang and Sanlang. Either he goes or I go.¡±

    Zuo Lizheng lost all his appetite after being told that. He put down his porridge bowl and looked up at this person: "Are you here to borrow money?"

    "No, no," how dare he borrow it.

    Only when you borrow money and pay it back, as you did two days ago, do you dare to borrow money.

    If others dare to lend it to him, he can open his mouth with confidence.

    But in his own situation, firstly, he is not so thick-skinned that he borrowed fifteen taels of silver from the Fifth Master before he could open his mouth. Secondly, after borrowing this debt, he cannot go blind. He always has to pay it back, so what should he pay back?

    So, he is here:

    "Fifth Master, can you put in a good word for me? I will take Sanlang and Erlang, who is in poor health, to work for Bizi's family. Isn't his family in a hurry to make wine? They are short of manpower.

    "Don't worry, we three can do any kind of work. If my mother-in-law dislikes the fact that our second son is weak, we will be rewarded with money for our work."

    "There's no need to pay it. You just serve as a middleman and let me lend me the corvee tax. I promise to help their family do more work during the three years of slack farming"

    Zuo Li was raising his hand to interrupt.

    In recent days, he has always been in such contradictory emotions.

    ¡°I have to worry and work hard to help the left-handed family block these things, but I feel a little proud in my heart.

    He was proud of the fact that when some people in the village asked about who in Bizi's family was going to collect corvee, he would always hear Xiuhua say: "What is collecting for our family? My son-in-law is designated to be at home." When he heard this from the sidelines, he felt proud in his heart.  All with a smile.

    Yes, collecting corvees is nothing in the eyes of Xiuhua girls.

    No matter how much other people worry about it, it has nothing to do with Xiuhua. There is no common topic, so there is no need to discuss it.  People don't have to worry about this.

    When Sister Xiuhua said that, she could tell that she had lost her temper. She was probably afraid of being judged by others. She was kind and compassionate. Otherwise, with her temperament, she would definitely straighten her back and look at others sideways.  , said the last sentence: "Just pay, it's not a big deal."

    So he was proud that after the Bizi family suffered something like that, they didn't need him to worry about it, they didn't need him to come to the door with money to make the decision, and they didn't have to worry like other families in the village to the point of crying and fighting.

    ¡°I¡¯m also worried that many families in the village are thinking about going to work at Bizi¡¯s place.

    "Everyone or two wants to go to Jiuzi, but how can he pay the poll tax for you? It's fifteen taels per household. If you do the math, his family also needs to buy grain and make wine. How many more can his family help?  It doesn't matter whether your surname is Zuo or not, whether you can trust you or whether I can help you and persuade you. It's also difficult for someone who is a surrogate. He doesn't have that much, so how can he help?"

    Zuo Lizheng continued: "I know that recently, there are always people in Zuo's family who are gossiping behind their backs. The mother-in-law, who is particular about being stubborn, would rather help the poor boys from other villages and promise them??There's no rush yet.

    "Didn't you say that when a letter came, the other end was urging me?"

    "It's urgent. I heard that Tianshui's father is back, but he hasn't come home yet. It's food, I think. I plan to get the Luo family first. My grandma is going there today."

    Xiaodao is right.

    Xiuhua clutched the key to Mrs. Luo¡¯s house and planned to drive to Lao Luo¡¯s house today with the Sun brothers and Zuo Lizheng¡¯s two sons.

    " While Mrs. Luo was dizzy at the county hospital and couldn't talk nonsense, she first emptied the food from Lao Luo's family.

    With all the above happening, Xiuhua, Zuo Xiaodao, Zuo Xiaodou, none of them knew that Zhu Xingde, Zuo Yizi and the others were on Hanshan Mountain in front of their home last night.

    This is really a way to stay at home.

    Even Mrs. Li, who had been to Yang Manshan¡¯s house, didn¡¯t notice that there was a clay pot missing from Xiaodou¡¯s house on the mountain.

    Those men were on Hanshan Mountain last night, almost killing people and releasing snakes.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "Master? Look."

    Xinzhi County was stunned for a moment while riding on his horse.

    What do those people in front pulling up big flags and banners mean?

    Embroidered on it is: Welcome the new magistrate into the city.

    He is not wearing the clothes of an official. At first glance, he looks like a common man.

    But how did the people know that he was coming today? He was still at the fork in the road before entering the city.

    To be honest, he himself didn¡¯t even know today would come.

    After all, this morning, he was still thinking about lying in bed in the inn, so he gritted his teeth and got out of bed and set off on horseback.

    "May I ask if this is the new magistrate from Yongdian County? Zhu Xingde, a grassroots man from Yongdian County, has something urgent to report."

    Xinzhixian lowered his head and looked at himself. He was not wearing official uniform, so he did not respond. Instead, he reined in the reins and asked, "Why don't you go to the county government office to find the magistrate? How do you know who is who?"  Isn¡¯t that right?¡±

    Zhu Xingde: "Whenever the common people see a horseman, they will stop the road and ask questions."

    I thought to myself: I have been dreaming about you. You are quite handsome and about the same age as me. You should agree quickly so that we can get down to business.

    This time it¡¯s a new magistrate: ¡°¡­¡±

    It turned out to be a random question.

    "It's me, what's the matter with you? No, don't kneel down yet. You should put away the words embroidered on the rag first." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
