It was dark.

Wang Xiao opened his eyes and turned his head to look. Ying'er and Qian Duoduo held their arms and buried their heads on their shoulders, both sleeping soundly.

He looked to the left, Qian Duoduo's eyelashes were slightly raised, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

She didn't know where she learned it, but she recited a erotic poem when she was watering flowers with Wang Xiao last night.

"The willows are in distant and the smoke is deserted, and the hairpin of the cicada falls. We must work hard for a lifetime, and you will be happy today."

Qian Duoduo has always been so delicate that this poem at that time expresses the tenderness and affection to the fullest... After that, he still hugged Wang Xiao tightly, and tears flowed out...

Wang Xiao looked to the right again, and saw Ying'er's face being shattered, and she opened her mouth slightly when she was sleeping, making her look even more cute.

The baby fat on her face gradually faded away, and now she became more and more pretty.

She is not like Qian Duoduo who can recite poems, but when she gets close, she says everything in her heart.

"Would Ying'er give birth to a daughter for the young master?"

The first woman Wang Xiao stayed by his side in his life was Ying'er. In fact, she loved her more in her heart, but she was hard to say to others. At this time, she looked at her, and there was more tenderness in her eyes.

After a while, Ying'er seemed to notice Wang Xiao looking at him, and her eyelashes moved, and she woke up.

"Young Master..."

The two of them didn't get up, and they lay down and talked about gossip, most of the time Ying'er was talking.

"I used to work in the mansion, but I got up the earliest. Now I am lazy by the young master. I'm just getting up now..."

"Is the young master leaving again? How long will it take to go this time?"

Wang Xiao said, "I'll come back before the New Year, okay?"

"That's how long? Can you take Ying'er there?"

"I originally wanted to bring Ying'er, but this time I visited Shandong, I don't know when I will suddenly go to Shanxi..."

Ying'er responded obediently and said, "I like to open my eyes and see the young master..."

"Then I'll spend more time with Ying'er in the future."

"Actually, as long as the young master doesn't always go out, I think it's great. As long as the young master is at home and can see him every day, it's enough..."

When she said this, Wang Xiao came over and kissed her again.

Ying'er opened her eyes wide and asked shyly: "Young Master, have I become beautiful recently?"

"yes."

"It's also more interesting, right? I feel like the young master likes me more..."

Wang Xiao did feel that Ying'er has become much more feminine recently. After being with each other for so long, she can always make him feel like he is ecstatic.

Ying'er could feel Wang Xiao's enthusiasm for him and was very happy, and said, "Shanji told me. Although the young master loves me, I must also try to make myself more attractive."

"Gu Hengbo?"

Wang Xiao was slightly stunned, thinking that there was such a woman everywhere.

"Ying'er, don't be hurt by her."

"But the young master obviously likes it."

"I have always liked Ying'er, and it has nothing to do with her teaching you all the mess."

"No, I've obviously liked it more recently... Yesterday I saw the young master running from the front yard..."

"I just want to exercise my body." Wang Xiao said, "Anyway, don't play with her, she is using you."

"But she treats me very well. Actually, I think she looks like my sister, but she says I am the sister, and she thinks about me in everything."

Wang Xiao said, "Ying'er, I tell you, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will be able to lie..."

"Sister Qianqian is the most beautiful. Will she also lie?"

"That's not."

Wang Xiao thought about it, and although he felt that it was a bit thick-skinned to say so, he still said, "Gu Hengbo wants to use you to get close to me..."

"Yes, Master, do you want to take her as a concubine? I heard that other royal palaces have many concubines, and there are hundreds of them. There are only four people in our royal palace. Will the young master be embarrassed?"

Wang Xiao was stunned and asked back, "Are you bewitched by her to this point?"

Ying'er thought for a while and said, "She talked a lot to me. When I heard it, I thought it made sense, but now I don't remember what she said. But Young Master, I'm actually not stupid either. I have ideas, well... Sister Shanji is smart and loyal. If she can follow the young master, she can also help the young master do a lot of things. And she is the best in Nanqu, and she can be better than many women by herself, right? She can also accept many women after she accepts her, right?"

Wang Xiao gently flicked Ying'er's forehead.

"I'm so stupid, I'm still saying that I'm not stupid, and I'm selling it and counting the money for someone."

Ying'er muttered, "Then I don't have to be very smart, either, a maid."

"Well... Ying'er is also quite stupid among the maids."

Ying'er just smiled cutely when she heard this, and was happy to talk in the quilt.

"Will the young master bring her with him when he goes out this time? Can she manage a lot of documents?"

"No, I won't bring a woman this time, I won't bring a carriage, I will come and go without a trace, no one can find out what I'm doing..."

"Why?"

"For example, you are a bad official. I heard that King Jing'an was on patrol and I don't know where he is. Do you think he is afraid..."

"What's scary about the young master..."

Dazhaishan, Pingyin County, Shandong.

Dazhai Mountain is steep and steep. Because a tributary of the Langxi River originates from the Langquan at the foot of the mountain, it is also called "Wangshan". According to legend, in ancient times, floods flooded a vast ocean, but this mountain was exposed on it, so it is also called "Fushan", which shows its height.

There are two villages beside Langquan, one is called Dingquan Village and the other is called Dazhai Village.

On this day, Chao Hei, a villager from Dazhai Village, carried a hoe and returned home from the field, carrying a hare on the hoe.

As Chao Hei was walking with his ass, he suddenly saw a man measuring something between the kennel.

"Hey, Lord Liu, why are you here?!"

The man squatting there stood up, waved his hand, and smiled and said, "I am just a minor official, I can't be an adult, don't call me like this."

His name is Liu Wen, and he is still very young, but he is only over 20 years old, but he looks very dark and mature.

"Okay, Lord Liu." Huang Hei's ass nodded happily and replied.

He put down his hoe and went to help Liu Wen measure the fields together, and asked, "The roads in our Dazhai Village and the county are difficult to walk. Is it not easy for Lord Liu to come here?"

"Yes, I got up before dawn, and the sun was almost set before it arrived."

"Then come to my house today? I took a hare today and ate it together."

Liu Wen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I can't eat your things..."

"What's the point of a hare? If it weren't for Lord Liu, I wouldn't have been like this now, so I'd starved to death..."

The two of them refused, and Chao Hei's butt was very enthusiastic and dragged Liu Wen to let go. Liu Wen made an appointment with Chao Hei's butt. If he didn't charge it, he would not dare to go to his house to eat.

What Liu Wen thought was that Chao Heiyang was also a rare smart and eloquent person in Dazhai Village, and he happened to ask him a lot of things.

When he arrived at Chao Heiyang's house, Chao Heiyang happily asked his wife to take the hare to burn it. His child laughed and said a long time ago.

When the neighbors around heard that Lord Liu was coming again, they all came to the door and brought it to the fruits with eggs.

Liu Wen declined one by one and sat down at the table with Chao Hei's ass and chatted.

"This time I come to your village, I still have to learn about taxes." Liu Wen asked, "You have thirty acres of land at home, right?"

With just this sentence, Chao Hei's ass started to talk endlessly.

...

"If you want to say that before, I really couldn't live that day. When my grandfather was there, my family only had five acres of land and rented 15 acres of Fan Junwai's. The land rent was four or six cents, the grandfather's four cents, and the fan Junwai's six cents. I worked hard to plant forty stones of grain in a year and gave it to Fan Junwai's family for 18 stones. My grandfather got twenty-two stones, and then the land tax had to be paid three stones first..."

When Liu Wen heard this, he popularized Chao Heiyang and said, "When Taizu founded the land tax, thirty tax was set, but the gentry did not have to pay the land tax, so the land tax had to be paid in each county. This is a fixed number. Over the past two hundred years of the Chu Dynasty, the gentry's land had more and more land tax, and the county distributed the land tax that should have been paid to you, so the land tax you have to pay exceeded 10 tax. Remember, the land tax would only be thirty tax one in the future, and you would not be charged more..."

"Okay, in the past, it was more than ten taxes and one mile. The grain tax of three stones had to be added with the tip and fire consumption, so we had to pay four stones." Chao Heiyang said: "Our Dazhai Village is too far from the county. We are all on behalf of the outside of Fan. Fan is a great charity, but the butler Fan's legs are very good. Every time he kicks the tip, the heart and grandpa are hurt very much...

After paying the land tax, there are eighteen stones of grain left. The family is tight and can barely eat for a year, but it is not over yet, but there is still a commission. If the commission tax is not paid, my grandfather and I have to go to corvee service, and each person has to pay another stone of grain..."

Liu Wendao: "If the court really wants to send corvee service, it will not be exempted from corvee service just because you pay the commission."

"No wonder, I just said, even though my grandfather paid the commission, why was he still taken to labor service? That year, my grandmother was tired and sick at home, and he went there in less than two years..."

Chao Hei's ass said this, his eyes turned red.

At this time, his wife Han Quer came in with rabbit meat. She was big and thick, and looked much stronger than Liu Wen.

"Why are you crying? Lord Liu is here. You can say a few words with the Lord, why do you wipe your tears..."

"What do you know, your wife? Life is better now. Unfortunately, grandma and grandma can't stand it."

Chao Hei said as he waved his hand, drove Han Qu'er away, grinned, and said to Liu Wen: "Sir Liu, eat while it's hot."

Liu Wen nodded, but only had two puffs.

He knew that Chao Hei's ass's wife and children would not be able to serve the table no matter how much he persuaded him. He said a few words of his own that they dared to eat a few more leftovers in the evening.

"Sir, eat more. My wife is not skilled, but this rabbit meat is fresh..."

"Let's talk about what taxes do you have before?"
