  Chapter 507 What, my family has to pay taxes?

   "You say forget it?" Chen's face was not good, he was very annoyed at this Hushu who said that his son was gone, and it was rude, and dared to curse that his son was gone.

   "Heh, what do you think, a village woman?" Hu Shu sneered, and took out his usual airs in the county government.

Mr. Zhu's forehead is sweating. Why is the second child so ignorant? Just now, he managed to let the household registration be ignored. What kind of temper are you playing now? This is not your own family, and you have annoyed others Master Hushu, we are the ones who suffer, why don't we understand this truth.

   "You can also call a village woman?" Mrs. Chen gave the household book a hard look.

   "I can't call this Huaining County." The bookkeeper glanced at Mrs. Chen contemptuously, sneered, and assumed a strong posture.

"Master Feng, please calm down, Master Feng." Uncle Zhu Shouren stepped forward over the crowd, bowed his hands to Hu Shu, bowed to the bottom, met Hu Shu's eyes, then turned around and straightened up, preaching to Mrs. Chen with a serious face "Brothers and sisters, this is Mr. Feng, the **** of our Huaining county government office. He is in charge of the fish scale atlas, money and grain land inventory of our Huaining county, and is in charge of the collection of money and grain in the whole county. Mr. Feng came to us to go down the river to measure the land. Brothers and sisters should be careful if you are ordered to do business. If you hinder the business, we can't afford it."

   "Hmph." Feng Hushu snorted forcefully as soon as his uncle Zhu Shouren finished speaking. He flicked his sleeves and turned his face to the sky, leaving everyone with a high chin.

   "I, you can't call me!" Feng Hushu's attitude annoyed Chen even more.

  "You..." Feng Hushu's face was full of clouds, like a tiger being provoked by a rabbit, and it seemed that it was about to show its fangs impatiently.

   "Lord Feng calm down." Uncle Zhu Shouren stepped forward to salute Feng Hushu again, "Siblings and sisters are country people who are ignorant, sir, don't blame me."

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhu. Why don't you study at home to prepare for the exam? I heard Mr. Liu has high hopes for Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu, please don't disappoint Mr. Liu's trust." Feng Hushu seemed to have just seen his uncle Zhu Shouren , dropped his high chin, and looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren differently.

   "Auspicious words from my lord." Uncle Zhu Shouren cupped his hands again, made a small movement with his fingers, and made a subtle look.

   "Yes." Feng Hushu nodded tacitly.

  The two had a great sense of tacit understanding, and everything was kept silent, as if they had discussed it in advance.

   "Forget it, for Mr. Zhu's sake, let's forget about it this time. I don't care about you, a village woman, and I won't be an example." Feng Hushu cleared his throat, and glanced at Mrs. Chen with a look of kindness.

   "Thank you, Master Feng." Uncle Zhu Shouren thanked repeatedly, then turned his gaze to Father Zhu and Mrs. Chen, and reminded with hand gestures, "Second brother, younger sister, thank you to Master Feng."

  Feng Hushu put on airs at the right time, waiting for Father Zhu and Mrs. Chen to salute and apologize.

   "Master Feng?" Chen sneered, and then asked, "What kind of official is Master Feng?"

Uh

   Jipin

Chen's question caused Feng Hushu, who was putting on airs, to cough, and his official face was a little red. Although he said that he had some real power in the county government, but as a pawn, he had no establishment in the court. How can there be any grade, it's not popular.

   "Is there a county magistrate?" Chen asked again.

  Feng Hushu's face turned even redder. The county magistrate is a seventh-rank official, so he is qualified to be compared with the county magistrate.

   "I am a Liupin Anren who was appointed by the emperor. Your county magistrates have to salute and say hello when they see me, but you are a village woman." Chen said with a sneer.

Feng Hushu's expression flickered after hearing this. In fact, he always knew that the Chen family was from Liupin'an. He also knew when the county magistrate sent someone to thank him, but he just ignored Chen's intentionally. His identity was done on purpose, because his purpose just now was to give the Chen family and Father Zhu a disgrace, so he deliberately ignored the identity of the Chen family's sixth-rank Anren.

   Thinking about what insight a village woman in the Chen family can have, she would frighten the village woman by putting on airs first, and she couldn't even remember her title of Liupin Anren.

   First come to the Mawei to calm them down, and then measure the land and talk about money, food and taxes to frighten them.

   As for whether Zhu Shouren's plan can succeed, he doesn't care about his own business, but the twenty taels of silver he promised before is not less than a penny.

  However, it never occurred to me that there was some discrepancy with what Zhu Shouren said, but this Chen family was not an ordinary village woman.

Now listening to Mrs. Chen mentioning his identity as a Liupin Anren, the expression on Feng Hushu's face changed a few times, and then a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands towards Ms. Chen with a smile that was not a smile. He saluted without hesitation, "Oh, so it's Mrs. Zhu, I wonder which village woman it is. The officer has seen Mrs. Zhu."

  Feng Hushu said it was a salute, but it didn't mean much respect. So what can Liupinan people do? They just have a name for etiquette, and they don't have any real power, so they have a false name. If Zhu Ping'an is still alive, it's a different matter. But now, Zhu Ping'an is gone, you don't have any backing, and there are no other officials in your family, even if there are no respectable people in the county, what do you have to worry about, so you dare to deal with this matter .

   "Huh." Chen sneered coldly.

"Don't blame Mrs. Zhu. This official came here on an errand to measure the land. In the past, Mrs. Zhu's family naturally had no worries about taxes when Master Zhu was there. It's easy to calculate." Feng Hushupi said with a half smile.

"You must know that our dynasty attaches great importance to taxes. The so-called 'those who dare not to take possession of themselves, and those who do not take possession of the truth, will not be taken into account, and they will be a county magistrate for one year." Those who are severely punished will not only have their fields confiscated, but also be punished with hard labor." Feng Hushu continued, with a serious expression on his face.

   "Paying grain and tax is a matter of course. Now that Mr. Zhu is gone, unless your family produces another scholar or recruit who is eligible for tax exemption," Feng Hu sneered in writing.

  After hearing Feng Hushu's words, Mr. Zhu couldn't help turning his eyes to Father Zhu, and he thought of the proposal made by his eldest son Zhu Shouren that day.

   "Who said my son is gone, my son will definitely come back." Chen was angry, and wanted to go up and scratch him, but was held back by Zhu's father behind him.

"Mrs. Zhu, let's be sad. I'm going to be busy first. I've finished the measurement. I'll send someone to notify Mrs. Zhu when it's time to pay the taxes. Okay, let's continue the measurement." Feng Hushu said impatiently, and then raised his hand. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the servants to continue measuring.

   "Pay taxes?"

   "Why, does my family have to pay taxes?"

   At this moment, a young man's voice rang in Feng Hushu's ear.

"Of course, it's a matter of course to pay the grain and tax." Feng Hushu replied impatiently, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the speaker, and his eyes widened. As if a person had strangled his neck, his body also trembled.
