The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 644

[Chapter 644 Write an IOU]

When everyone heard Fang Xiu’s wild laughter, their faces turned blue and white.

Indeed, they could figure out how to sell their land. Why couldn’t Xin Amber, who was always known for his extraordinary intelligence, not figure it out?

The wild laughter in front of them was clearly mocking them!

“Your Majesty is right, we do want to sell our land!”

At this time, one person couldn’t stand the ridicule, stood up, looked at Fang Xiu calmly, and said loudly: “But we are not selling our land because your Majesty said

If we want to sell our land, does the court have any regulations that gentry are not allowed to sell

our

land

?

OK!”

Fang Xiu was the one who failed again.

He looked around at everyone and smiled even more happily, as if he had heard some joke.

“You want to sell your land? Yes, of course you can, but you have to pay the taxes first!”

“This”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

But there was no way they could say anything, because how could they not understand the virtues of the new Amber in front of them? He was just a scoundrel.

Even if he and others stand up to object, will his new Amber really listen?

Therefore, everyone looked at Mr. Zhou Ge, praying that Mr. Zhou Ge could stand up and speak for them.

When Mr. Zhou Ge saw this scene, he took a sip of tea and said calmly: “Xin’anbo’s words are a little inappropriate.

Selling land means selling land. The court stipulates that you don’t have to pay taxes during the land sale. Why did you come to Xin’anbo?” Here, you have to pay the taxes before selling the land. Isn’t it weird?” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at Mr. Zhou Ge and asked instead of answering the question directly.

“I wonder how many acres of fertile land there are in Zhou Ge’s house?”

“How many acres of fertile land there are in my house has nothing to do with Xin Anbo.”

Before he could finish his words, a loud bang was heard.

Fang Xiuteng stood up from his chair, stared at Mr. Zhou Ge, and said loudly: “How can it have nothing to do with me!?

Who is this officer? Is this officer the governor of the Central Plains Road, or the inspector of the Central Plains Road? , In other words, in this Zhongyuan Road, no matter what happens, it is related to me!

Not to mention how many fields you have in your house, how many people there are, even if I want to know how many hairs you have, you have to give it to me! Count them one by one!”

“This is you.”

Mr. Zhou Ge was shocked just now, and this time he was even more shocked. He held his chest and almost couldn’t breathe.

Even so, he pointed at Fang Xiu and said angrily: “This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable, it’s too presumptuous.” In

just half an hour, Mr. Zhou Ge’s mood was like a roller coaster, rising and falling.

It rises for a while and falls again. In short, it is not maintained at the normal level.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he didn’t feel any guilt at all. Instead, he sneered and looked at everyone.

“I have given you a chance just now, but you don’t want to drink fine wine and want to resist the tax! In this case, don’t blame me for being ruthless, come here!”

As soon as the words were spoken, two captains stood up and said, He walked up to Fang Xiu and said, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

“Everyone of the gentry here, as long as they have fields in their houses or want to sell their fields, please invite me to the government office for tea!”

“Yes, sir. “

! “

These soldiers are all Li Jing’s people. Even though they are afraid of and respect Elder Zhou Ge, Master Jiedushi has already spoken.

They had no choice but to follow suit and stepped forward one after another to take these gentry into custody.

When the gentry saw this scene, they were completely confused.

Wasn’t it fine just now?

All of a sudden, what’s going on?

Did we say anything?

Even if Tian Yi said it, it was just his words!

“My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me! I have never thought about selling my land. I have never thought about selling my land. I will definitely pay this land tax. I will definitely do it!”

A timid gentry heard that “Yamen” These two words automatically reminded me of many things. Before I left Zhou Mansion, I was so frightened that I knelt on the ground, begging desperately for mercy.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, a warm smile appeared on his face and he waved his hand.

“Let him go.”

“Yes, sir!”

When the two soldiers heard this, they hurriedly stepped aside.

Fang Xiu walked up to the man, knelt down, looked at him, and asked, “What’s your name?”

“The younger one’s name is Li Zheng, and he’s from Du Ming Mansion.”

The gentleman lowered his head and looked carefully. answer.

“Where do you work?”

Fang Xiu asked again.

The gentry looked hesitant, thought for a while, and said, “When I was young, I failed in the imperial examination and didn’t have any position. My ancestors just left some land and could barely survive.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled and said, “If the gentry all They are barely surviving. What must the people of this world be like?”

He stood up and said slowly: “Du Ming Mansion, I went there when I first arrived at Zhongyuan Road.

It stands to reason that Du Ming Mansion is located close to it. The land of Gyeonggi is the only place to enter the capital from south to north. Even if it is not as wealthy as Gusu City, it should still have food and clothing for the people. Why is it so declining?

Have you ever thought about it? ?”

The gentleman was so frightened at this moment that he was still in the mood to think about these problems. He shook his head tremblingly and said cautiously: “I don’t know, I don’t know.”

“Ha”

Fang Xiu heard this. He stepped forward and kicked him, scolding him: “Of course you don’t know, because the people’s money, food and clothing have all gone to your house!”

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare!”

In the end, it’s just that Gentlemen from small towns are too timid.

When everyone else saw this scene, they all felt contempt from the bottom of their hearts.

But they never thought that when they faced the angry Fang Xiu just now, it was not much better.

Fang Xiu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked at the man again, calmed down a little, and said slowly: “You just said you have never thought about selling your land?”

“Little kid, little kid has never thought about it. “

You haven’t thought about escaping the tax?”

“Young man, you haven’t thought about it either.”

“Well, in that case, let’s just hand over the tax here.”

Fang Xiu moved the imperial chair in front of him. , said casually.

After hearing this, the gentleman had a look of shock on his face. He looked up at Fang Xiu and said, “Ah?”

“Don’t you understand?”

Fang Xiu looked at him, his expression gradually becoming unkind.

“I understand, I understand.”

The gentleman’s expression was very struggling. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Little Keke doesn’t have any money on him!”

“Where are the silver notes?”

Fang Xiu looked at him and asked.

“I have some silver notes, but with the method of combining land and Ding into one, it shouldn’t be enough.”

The gentleman was also very honest.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu smiled and said, “It’s okay. Write an IOU. I’ll send someone to Du Ming’s Mansion right now. The trip will only last for five or six days at most. At that time, I’ll let you go.”
