Chapter 77 I'm Lucky
"What a scam? You have to pay taxes even if you don't make any profits?" Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help complaining, "You will be exempted for a whole year!"
"In the past, we could be exempted for one year." The village chief said, and then lowered his voice, "Since the Song general from Fengyang Pass came, he increased our taxes on the pretext of war. Alas, if General Yang returns
How wonderful it is to be in Fengyang Pass!"
It was actually Song Rongsheng who did it? This thing is really worth dying for.
"General Yang, wouldn't he be like this before?"
"He doesn't know how. He is very good to us people. When there is no war, I heard that the soldiers at the border also farm."
Lu Xiaoyun: "..."
No wonder the Dog Emperor wanted to recall Yang Hong to the capital. Yang Hong's doing so was like putting eye drops on the Dog Emperor. No wonder the Dog Emperor would label him with the crime of treason.
Lu Yuanming asked: "If you say that, we only need to open up wasteland and go to the government to register?"
"You don't need to go to the government, I'll just make a trip for you when the time comes." The village director said, "But you were in the capital before, did you know how to grow millet and wheat?"
Lu Dalang hurriedly said: "We also farm, but we grow more rice, but it should be the same, right?"
"It's okay. If you don't know anything, just ask us. We are all from the same village, so we can help each other."
"Then thank the village chief in advance."
"Don't be so polite to me. If it weren't for Miss Xiaoyun, I wouldn't have the chance to sit here and talk to you right now."
"Is it okay if I ask Abao to take us to see which land can be reclaimed in a while?"
"I'll take you there later. I know better than him." The village chief smiled.
Lu Xiaoyun thought for a while and asked the village chief: "Can I buy the back mountain?"
"Why did you buy that?" The village chief was puzzled. "It's not easy to grow things up there. Just watering it is tiring."
"The village chief asked me, can I buy it?"
"I can't make the decision in this case. Why don't I ask the county magistrate before the officials are withdrawn?"
"also."
"But Miss Xiaoyun, we have tried to open up wasteland in the mountains, but nothing can be grown. You'd better stop trying, right?"
"You have to struggle to know whether it can work. What if it works?"
When the village chief heard this, he stopped trying to persuade Lu Xiaoyun.
None of them could grow anything. The little girl had good medical skills, but her medical skills could not cure whether the crops would survive. However, the village chief did not intend to throw cold water on it. He would know after Lu Xiaoyun tried it himself.
After finalizing the land matter, Lu Yuanming asked another question, "Village chief, we have a large Lu family and the house is not enough to live in. Can we expand it? If not, can you show us where we can build a new house."
"Just start where you live, but homesteading is different from land reclamation. You have to go to the county government to get the land deed first. It may cost you some money. But by then the people in the village will be very good.
, I don’t have much to do during this season, so I can help you build a house and save a little.”
"No need, just a few of us brothers will do." Lu Erlang scratched his head, "This is not a problem."
"How can that be done? If someone builds a house in the village, everyone has to help. Otherwise, it won't make sense. Let's just settle the matter. You just squeeze in and we will try to help you finish the house before the Chinese New Year."
"Thank you very much, village chief, for taking such good care of you." Lu Yuanming thanked him, "There's nothing else to do right now, so I won't disturb the village chief for now. Village chief, please take good care of your health. Let's take our leave first."
"Okay, walk slowly."
Lu Xiaoyun followed Lu Yuanming and the others and left the Lu family.
Lu Yuanming then asked Lu Xiaoyun: "Yunyun, what do you plan to do when you buy the back mountain? Are you going to grow medicinal materials?"
"I don't know how to grow medicinal materials." Lu Xiaoyun shook his head and said nonsense seriously, "On the way to exile, I overheard a passing merchant saying that the Hu people could grow some food in very dry places. I wanted to find out.
That kind of food."
"When? Why didn't I hear it?" Lu Dalang asked stupidly, "You didn't fool us, did you?"
"Why are you fooling uncle? Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you try. The land in the deserted village is so worthless, and the money to buy the back mountain should be enough!" Lu Xiaoyun began to fool Lu Dalang, "I am lucky, maybe I will succeed."
Lu Erlang advised Lu Dalang, "Brother, let's listen to him on this matter. Don't forget that the money is earned in this way. Besides, if we hadn't listened to him along the way, would we be safe now?"
"Anyway, my daughter-in-law said that any disputes in the family will always be based on this. Whatever she says, we will do it. What she said is absolutely correct."
Lu Yuanming laughed: "Second brother, if you believe in Yunyun so much, aren't you afraid that Yunyun will make mistakes sometimes?"
"Everyone will make mistakes in life. Isn't there a saying among scholars, 'Everyone who is not a saint will make mistakes'?"
"Second uncle, I am a man who is not a sage and has no faults."
"That's what it means anyway."
Lu Erlang expressed his firm position of absolutely trusting Lu Xiaoyun.
The two younger brothers have said this, so Lu Dalang will not continue to object, lest Lu Xiaoyun will be unhappy. After all, it is farming, and he can do it!
When he was approaching Lu's house, Lu Xiaoyun saw many people surrounding his door from a distance. After listening carefully, he found that these people were looking for trouble.
Moreover, it was those people named Xu that Cao asked her to stay away from.
"My man was beaten like this, and you want to let it go? Let me tell you, there is no way out. If you, the Lu family, don't give you an explanation today, I will report it to the official and let the official drive you out of the deserted village!"
"You are just outsiders, living here temporarily. My man will be beaten when he passes by here. Are you the outside dogs in this deserted village?"
"Either meet the official, or pay money, otherwise you will never have a good life!"
…
The daughter-in-law of those men who was beaten last night was yelling and scolding at the door of Lu's house.
They heard that the Lu family had a lot of food from a wealthy family, and if they could get some money from it, it would be a good year.
Mrs. Zhao pointed at them with her arms akimbo, "What the hell are you talking about? Your man sneaked into our Lu family, are you still reasonable? Do you dare to come to my Lu family and act wild?"
"Don't think that because our men are not here, we are afraid of you? Let me tell you, I never lost a fight with a shrew in the village! If you dare to hit her on the nose again, I will scratch your face!"
Mrs. Liang snorted coldly: "Everyone has a face as big as a basin. Oh, no, your face and buttocks should be opposite. Otherwise, why would you spit out feces when you open your mouth? Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense to them. I will do it if they dare.
Fight them hard."
There were so many of them that Lu Xiaoyun was really worried that the Zhao family would suffer a loss, so he hurried back.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't say anything, and went directly to the kitchen to bring out a kitchen knife.
Lu Xiaoyun twirled the kitchen knife and stared at them with a half-smile: "Come on, who wants the Lu family to pay compensation? I promise to satisfy her!"
