    Song Yixiu waved his hand, "If she doesn't want to follow me, forget it."

    He lay on the couch and lifted up his sleeves, revealing a twisted scar on his wrist.

    Even after all this time, the scar still looks shocking.

    "Li Jing's apprentice."

    Song Yixiu touched his scar and laughed.

    "You owe me."

    Because of Song Yixiu's invitation, Lin Xuan did not dare to stay in Lingzhou City for a long time, and hurriedly fled back to Xiangshui County the next day.

    But luckily she made her trip ahead of time.

    When I returned to Xiangshui County, I didn¡¯t even have time to visit the school when I was told that there was something wrong with the medicinal materials in the village.

    Lin Xuanjiu attaches great importance to this batch of medicinal materials, and hopes to set an example through himself and lead more neighbors to plant them together.

    When I heard something happened to the medicinal materials, I immediately rushed back to the village.

    It¡¯s a coincidence.

    Wen Qingtan helped take care of this batch of medicinal materials, but this time for Zhou Shang¡¯s craniotomy, Lin Xuan didn¡¯t trust others for a long time, so she invited Wen Qingtan to be her assistant.

    Of course Wen Qingtan went happily, but as a result, no one took care of the medicinal materials.

    As soon as the carriage entered the village, Lin Xuanjiu found that the atmosphere was very subtle through the expressions of his neighbors.

    The mother-in-law of Wang Shitou's family, who had had some festivals, even laughed at Lin Xuanjiu unscrupulously.

    "Hey, look, isn't it the capable Ah Jiu from the Lin family?"

    Mrs. Wang bit the capable three very hard, which was full of sarcasm.

    The other neighbors looked at her with a mixture of fear and alienation.

    The way he drew a clear line seemed to be avoiding some kind of plague.

    Lin Xuanjiu was puzzled.

    Last time I came back, everyone was obviously looking forward to planting medicine with her, and their attitude was very respectful. How come they changed in just a few days?

    What happened to the medicinal materials?

    She lifted up the car curtain and told Minghua, "Go to Li Zheng's house first."

    Entering Zhu Lizheng's house, Lin Xuanjiu's eyes darkened.

    The yard was in a mess, as if it had just been robbed. Pots and pans were smashed on the floor, and chicken feathers were flying everywhere.

    Zhu Yougui¡¯s two sons were squatting in the yard, picking up dead chickens.

    Looking at that pile, there are at least a dozen of them, and they are all hens.

    This is the time when hens lay eggs, and few people are willing to kill chickens. Even if they are greedy and want to eat meat, they will kill one of them.

    If more than ten chickens died at once, there must be something wrong.

    "Eh? Ah Jiu! You are back!"

    Zhu Yougui's voice came from behind. He was only slightly surprised, but not as enthusiastic as before.

    Wang Chunhua squeezed him away and followed him into the courtyard, keeping her head down without even looking at Lin Xuanjiu.

    Only then did Lin Xuanjiu notice that Wang Chunhua was holding a dead dog in his hand.

    It is the big dog that guards Zhu Yougui's house and yard. He is very vicious. Whenever a stranger approaches the yard, the whole village will hear him when he opens his mouth.

    Now he is dead too.

    Lin Xuanjiu asked hurriedly, "Uncle Zhu, how are the medicinal materials?"

    "The medicinal materials are fine."

    As soon as Zhu Yougui opened his mouth, Lin Xuan was relieved.

    Immediately he became confused again, "Then what happened?"

    Zhu Yougui frowned, as if he didn't know where to start.

    "You ask what happened? You have caused great harm to Zhu Lizheng!"

    Mrs. Wang wandered over, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, cracking them, as if watching a good show.

    Zhu Yougui hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously, "Have you offended Magistrate Luo?"

    "This is something that is not obvious!" Mrs. Wang answered, and after a mouthful of melon seeds, she burst out of the shell and smiled with yellow teeth.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But because of Lin Xuanjiu¡¯s good relationship with the noble man, no one dared to say a word.

    Now that they saw Magistrate Luo¡¯s attitude, the dissatisfaction of those people immediately broke out.

    These country people don¡¯t have much knowledge, and the biggest official they know is the county magistrate.

    If even the county magistrate can be offended, then Lin Xuanjiu will naturally lose his head in a few days.

    Those who are dissatisfied will neverI was afraid of Lin Xuanjiu for a long time, so everyone came out openly to watch Lin Xuanjiu's excitement.

    "I'm afraid I don't want to live anymore if I offend the county magistrate."

    "That's right, the county magistrate is the official of Xiangshui County. He can make us country folk die ten thousand times with just a few clicks of his fingers."

    "It's just a solid lump of wood inside. It's such a trap for people, but it doesn't even know how to squeak."

    "Look, it won't be long before the Zhu family sits in the right place."

    Lin Xuan glanced at them for a long time, withdrew his gaze, and said calmly, "Uncle Zhu, please tell me."

    She didn¡¯t want to listen to those gossips, she just wanted to hear Zhu Yougui¡¯s own explanation.

    Zhu Yougui sighed and said, "Today the government officials came to collect taxes. The government officials said that your medicine mountain is considered fertile land, but it is still paddy field."

    "Huh? Paddy field? Is the government official blind?"

    That medicine mountain was originally a barren mountain with sandy soil where even sweet potatoes and corn couldn't be grown.

    In other words, some medicinal materials grown in sandy soil can grow well.

    Return fertile land?

    Do you dare to go further?

    Zhu Yougui frowned and said nothing.

    Wang Chunhua, on the other hand, threw the dead dog away and cried, "But that's what the yamen officer said!

    What they say is not what they say!

    What room for rebuttal do we ordinary people have?  "

    "Thenwhat then?" Lin Xuan asked patiently.

    ¡°There is no money required for taxation, only 30% of the harvest from the fields.¡±

    "They want medicinal materials?" Lin Xuanjiu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

    She spent a year planting medicinal materials, and now Luo Qingyun dares to pick peaches.

    Do you think she is dead?

    Wang Chunhua cried and said, "It would be great if we asked for medicinal materials. They the government officials want us to use millet!"

    Luo Qingyun¡¯s move is really damaging.

    According to the laws of Daye, the taxes collected by Ding, also called labor money, were distributed among the acres of land, according to the number of people and acres of land.

    But Luo Qingyun regarded Lin Xuanjiu¡¯s medicinal mountains as high-quality paddy fields.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    There was a gloating laugh from Mrs. Wang and others outside.

    "Oh my God, I just realized that the Lin Family Medicine Mountain originally had sixty-four acres. Tsk, tsk, more than 4,000 kilograms of grain was carried out for nothing."

    "The Zhu family is not enough, so they also recruited Li Sanniang and Ye Wen's family. Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I have seen such an upright person."

    "Zhu Lizheng is acting like a big boss, and I don't know if others will appreciate it."

    After being told so many miscellaneous things, Zhu Yougui seemed to be giving up on himself.

    "Yes, the yamen servant only wanted millet, or polished rice with the shells removed. My family's rice plus last year's old rice was not enough, so I borrowed some grain."

    The incident happened suddenly. Lin Xuan was not at home for a long time, and Wen Qingtan was not here either. There was no one who could make the decision.

    Zhu Yougui remembered that Lin Xuanjiu once told him that the patent medicines made from these medicinal materials would be provided to the military camps.

    Today, Qinghe Prefecture has this kind of peace and its people can farm their land safely, which is all due to the persistence of the border camp.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
