Wang Fulin still remembers that last time Wang Qiu used the matter of sending grain chiefs to fight with him. Not only did he covet his own property, but he also used sweet words to deceive himself into giving him the privilege of exempting a slaughter. However, in front of Xie Tingjie, he directly put Wang Qiu in the prison, and now everyone has been sent to serve his sentence, and he almost forgot the matter of grain chiefs. Now that he has been brought up again by someone, he is different from Wang Erniang's sudden anger, and he wants to figure out these deep-seated names.

Wu Lichang obviously wanted to clean himself up, and asked ten questions and answers, hoping to explain all the joints to Wang Fulin clearly. From his mouth, Wang Fulin finally understood why the word "Food Growth" was as scared as a snake or a scorpion.

Because the system set by Zhu Yuanzhang back then was really a scam!

The so-called grain chief is a person who specializes in collecting summer and autumn grains in the entire grain area, but he is only a civilian, neither an official nor an official. When the grain chief was born, he would choose a truly wealthy and wealthy household. Once he became a grain, he would be like an iron hat and be hereditary. Unless a family is lost and there is no male, he would never take off this job. If he just collects taxes, it would be fine. The problem is that he is still responsible for sending it to the capital city to warehousing all the way. On the way, he would take care of all the expenses he should take, and these expenses were sometimes more than several times higher than the taxes he actually paid into the warehouse.

Paying money is a trivial matter. If the force majeure is delayed due to weather reasons, or if it is lost, then I will have to lend it to the court to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

Of course, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the position of Grain Chief was finally beneficial, that is, there was the opportunity to have a direct dialogue with Zhu Yuanzhang. Some grain chiefs even soared to the top because they were appreciated by the emperor and became high-ranking officials. In comparison, although the risk of being exiled or even beheaded is not small, they are the only one in the countryside. Sometimes they can get enough money and have certain political privileges in front of their parents. This is also an activity where opportunities and risks coexist.

However, as Zhu Yuanzhang died with great energy, the emperors were lazy ones, and the grain was still harder, but they could never see the emperor again, and their political privileges gradually became less and less. After moving the capital, the situation became worse. The delivery of food was no longer limited to Nanjing in the past. When going to Beijing, it was necessary to calculate the time when the Caohe River was frozen. When entering the warehouse, they would be exploited layer by layer from clerks to internal officials. Therefore, the wealthy families were no longer willing to act as thankless grain leaders, and they all escaped with the word "youdian".

Especially in places like Huizhou where rural merchants are inverted, in recent years, salt merchants have become increasingly reluctant to purchase land locally. No matter how much property they have, they would rather buy land and build houses in other places, so the hereditary grain chief system has become a piece of paper. The originally fixed grain districts in each county have gradually disintegrated, and almost all the large grain chiefs have given up. So since Zhengde, the government has ignored the grain districts, and eleven miles in one area, and simply let the village chiefs pick out ten wealthy families in each area, which will be responsible for collecting taxes every ten years, and at the same time, two people are assigned to assist in the payment, and then all the big households in the district are responsible for distributing them into the warehouse.

The so-called support is that the person who was unfortunately selected just needs to make up for the money and pay for the expenses of the large grain boss, so he can be responsible for the transportation without any effort. Even so, if the grain boss is spread out, he still needs to pawn the house and land, or even sell his children and lose his family.

But this time, Zhao Sicheng, the new official of the household house, used a new trick as soon as he took office, and began to select the chief of the big grain. The Wang family was assigned this time, the grain chief of the fifth district of She County, which was more miserable than the small grain chief of each village. The deposit was second to the money. He had to run around and collect money and grain, and he had to be responsible for traveling thousands of miles to release and sending it into the warehouse! In recent years, whether it was Huizhou Prefecture or She County, there were a lot of taxes, money and grain owed, and many grain chiefs were forced to die and escape.

It seemed as if he noticed that Wang Fulin's face was really ugly. Wu Lichang honestly told the disadvantages of the Grain Chief's Battle, so he added carefully: "Of course, the Grain Chief's Battle is not bad or bad. In previous years, there were often grain chiefs who took the opportunity to exchange small gifts for big gifts, saying that they had to pay one tael of silver, but in fact they had to charge six or seven cents, eight or nine cents or even one cent. And grain chiefs in each district had to transport grain to Nanjing, and they could still collect and distribute subsidies and empty labor money from each household, which could also make a large sum of money into their pockets. However, unless they were really capable of subduing the village and were not afraid of being reported, most grain chiefs would still be somewhat sensible."

It turns out that the only benefit is that you may be able to put your pockets without your conscience; but the disadvantages are that from being exiled to losing your head, there are a lot of people!

Wang Fulin was angry, but looking at the pitiful Wu Lichang, he did not get angry at the other party, but asked politely: "Then I would like to ask Wu Lichang, my father is now out of business, but he has been assigned as the grain chief. If he just follows the rules, what should he do?"

"Well..."

Wu Lichang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "The chief of grain is a household servant. If the head of the household is not here, the other men Ding have to replace him. If there is no one, they have to find a way. Moreover, the deadline is very tight. The tax will be paid in August. If it is delayed, the person who will suffer will probably be Lingzun, and the small official will not stay out of the matter. I heard that the lord has summoned a small official? If this happens, the small official will quickly go to the county town to ask for a meeting and push the grain chief out. After all, it is really rare to let the closest relatives of the student family serve as the grain chief for so many years."

Very good, it was indeed intentional! It seems that last time he only knocked down Wang Qiu with a random punch and let the student who might spread rumors and cause trouble, so he gave people the illusion that he was still weak and could be bullied!

"Then tell me, how many days do I have?"

"The summer tax must be collected in early June. Before that, the grain chief in the 15th District will go to the county government office to visit the county master, at most half a month."

Wang Fulin looked at Wu Lichang with a sincere face and no longer wanted to get involved with this guy who was also a little man. As for the other party’s suggestion to see Ye Junyao before, he did not object and directly ordered to see him off. When Jin Bao took the person out, he stood up and looked at the study room with books on all sides, and suddenly arose on a whim.

He picked up a roll of paper and spread it on the desk, picked up a pen and dipped it in the inkstone, and sprinkled it on the long roll.

As soon as Wang Erniang pushed the door and entered the bookstore, she saw her brother standing at the desk and writing something. She was immediately anxious. When Wu Lichang went out, she hid and did not dare to talk to her anymore. Jin Bao couldn't ask why, but the elder brother who promised that he would have a solution, had the scholar's anger at this time, and he still had time to write something!

She rushed over angrily, about to complain and get angry, but her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the dozen or so words written on the paper, and she chanted it without realizing it.

"Fighting with the sky is endless joy; fighting with the earth is endless joy; fighting with the people is endless joy!"

Seeing Wang Fulin stopping his pen and standing with his wrist, Wang Erniang raised her head to look at her brother in shock, then looked down at the words with ink traces. After a while, his eyes lit up.

"Brother, do you have a way?"

"Maybe." Wang Fulin shrugged and didn't say anything. Seeing that Wang Erniang was about to jump, he smiled and said, "Your brother is a sponge, but there is nothing he can do, he can squeeze it!"

Seeing that Wang Fulin had just said this, he walked out straight away. Then he vaguely heard him give Jin Bao a few instructions. When Wang Erniang woke up and chased him out, he found that the father and son had already gone out. When asked where the younger sister had gone, he just shook her head. She was immediately angry. Her brother is now better than before, but he is also more thief than before. Everything is mysterious and he always refuses to explain it!

When he came to the gate of the private garden at Mr. Nanming's house again, Wang Fulin looked at the pavilions and towers that were vaguely visible inside and suddenly realized a problem.

When he was in Songming Mountain, he was afraid of showing flaws in front of the villagers, so he never vigorously asked about the most famous famous scholar of his clan. But last time he arrived in She County, he had many opportunities, but why did he never think of pretending to be a foreigner and going to a teahouse and a restaurant to inquire? In this way, he would not still not know what the person is named, and he didn't even know whether he should be a clan uncle or a clan uncle.

"After all, I just don't have that heart!"

Wang Fulin muttered self-deprecatingly, because the voice was too small, even Jin Bao around him didn't hear it. He went to the door and asked, and learned that Mr. Nanming was still lingering in the Wu family orchard in Xixi Nan Village and had never returned. He thought about it and said, "I'm going to the city soon. Since I have been squandering a relationship with Mr. Nanming again and again, can I leave a note?"

The concierge was about to answer when a voice came from inside: "Note is needed. If you have anything to say, I'll send you a message."

With this voice, Wang Fulin saw a young man coming out calmly, after meeting him, nodding with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

This guy is simply elusive!

Wang Fulin was not surprised that the person recognized was a idler who was swimming in the wild. He immediately considered how to speak. After giving the ceremony, Jin Bao beside him deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the doorman. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the doorman nodding and bowing, "Second Master."

When he called the second master, Jin Bao suddenly realized. Wang Fulin was surprised and felt a little embarrassed. The most fatal flaw of not recognizing people before, with Jin Bao and Qiu Feng helping to make up for it, and finally covered it up. But when he often walked by the river, he would not be able to wear his shoes. Now, it was the third time he met this person face to face. He didn't know until now that he should call him uncle!

That turned out to be an elder! Elder! It’s all his fault that he is not too used to the fact that he is only fourteen years old!

Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was uncomfortable, Master Wang took the initiative to say, "You don't visit relatives and friends, so it's normal for you to recognize me. I was about to go to Xixinan Village. Come, let's go and say, what message do you want to send to my elder brother?"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to hand the steps, Wang Fulin simply made a thick-skinned note, laughed and called his uncle, then followed the steps of Master Wang Er. After considering the sentence, he told everything that had grown up in Wuli today. When he said that he was the grain chief, the young uncle next to him stopped and raised his eyebrows, saying, "When will the grain chief be distributed to a place like Songmingshan without households? It seems that these guys have taught me enough lessons and are getting more and more courageous! Do you want your elder brother to come forward and block this matter back?"

I thought, but this kind of favor seems not to be so good... Besides, I don’t know what the new Zhao Sili of the house is going to have!

Wang Fulin thought so in his heart, but said righteously: "If anything is going to alarm Mr. Nanming, I am too shameless. But I have been plotted over and over again and again. I am really annoyed. Even if I can't do it once and for all, I have to let people know that I am not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch." Seeing someone looking at him in surprise, he bowed, "Can you ask your uncle to ask Mr. Nanming for me? If I turn around and make things worse, can I take care of it?"

"Uh...hahahaha!" Master Wang Er was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. After laughing, he said with bright eyes, "Although brother is unemployed, no one can bully the Wang family in Songmingshan! If you hadn't been talking wildly before, I wouldn't ask my brother to see you take action first, but I didn't expect you to be excited. Okay, if you have the ability, let's do it as much as possible, and we will provide you with the bottom line!"

Seeing that Wang Fulin's eyes lit up, and then he looked happy and said thanks, Master Wang reached out and helped the person up, and gave him a lot of encouragement as if he was not worth it. He even said to Jin Bao seriously, turning back to introduce a good gentleman to him. He only tickled softly when he watched the father and son say goodbye and leave.

"The eldest brother formed the Fenggan Club, and many people above said that he had no hope of recovery and was so happy that he would have to be a Taiping village official in the future! But even a villain wanted to bully him?"
