Chapter 141 You didn’t pay enough poll tax

"Did the owner of this family have six wives?"

This leading agency is directly under the Taxation Department under the personal control of the emperor.

At this time, when he came to the door of Lin Fan's manor, he asked a man dressed as a master.

"Yes, sir, the owner of the manor in front of me is named Lin, and he has six wives."

The master took out a book and flipped through it, then nodded and bowed and answered.

As the county magistrate's henchman, the other party still has a certain status, but in front of the people in the tax department, he is nothing.

The people in these tax departments are similar to the eastern factories of some dynasties, with direct access to heaven. They even have their own army like the tax bureau of the beautiful country. There is no public official who is not afraid of this kind of organization.

"Call him out. If you can't pay the poll tax, just take it."

The person from the Taxation Department who arrived this time was a young man.

It was obviously the first time I came here, but there was obvious hostility.

Although the master was surprised by this, he didn't have the courage to ask anything. He answered respectfully and went to call the door.

The concierge Fu Bo quickly opened the door. When he learned of the situation, he hurried in to report.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan was still lying in Wenrou Township, wanting to sleep on a lazy bed.

But after learning about this situation, it was obvious that there was no way to sleep on this lazy bed.

With his wife waiting on him, Lin Fan put on his clothes and strode out.

When he came to this world, it was his first time to pay the poll tax.

Not to mention,

He was still quite curious inside.

When he came outside the door, he saw the person collecting the poll tax.

"Are you Lin Fan, the head of this family?"

The young man from the Taxation Department looked at Lin Fan and asked.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lin Fan, the head of this family."

"I am from the tax department. Since you are the head of this family, then pay the head tax. I am very busy and have to go to my next family."

The young man said indifferently, with a sense of arrogance coming from this institution.

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. He took out the silver coins he had prepared and handed them directly to the other party.

A daughter-in-law has one tael of silver. If the quantity increases, it will increase geometrically.

That is, the second daughter-in-law pays 2 taels, the third wife pays 4 taels, the fourth daughter-in-law pays 8 taels, and the fifth daughter-in-law pays 16 taels.

Stack it up in this way.

If there are too many daughters-in-law, the head tax to be paid is absolutely terrifying.

Lin Fan registered six daughters-in-law, and the total number is very terrifying. The sum of the six together amounts to dozens. Ordinary families will never be able to bear this superimposed head tax.

The more, the more terrifying it is.

Except for these big-headed wives, the servants at home do not need high taxes and only need to pay normal taxes.

The silver coins given by Lin Fan were all calculated, so they would only be more and not less.

But the young man took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, and said coldly: "The poll tax you paid is not enough."

"Did I pay enough?"

Lin Fan frowned. At this time, he also noticed the hostility carried by the other party.

However, he did not immediately attack, but suppressed his smile and asked: "I wonder why the head tax I paid is not enough?"

The young man snorted softly and said: "Pay attention to the tone of your words. Since I said you didn't pay enough, it certainly isn't enough. Let me ask you, do you have a group of young maids in your family?"

"good."

Lin Fan nodded and answered, wanting to see what the other party was up to.

Obviously neither party has met before, so why is the other party hostile to him?

"Since you admit it, it's easy to explain. I received a report from someone saying that these young maids are not actually servants, but concubines you married. In order to evade taxes, you revealed that they are servants of the family. Now you know,

Why isn’t it enough?”

The young man spoke coldly, the hostility in his eyes undisguised.

"Haha! It's really ridiculous. My servants were there before I moved here. How can I use them as an excuse to evade taxes? You can find these with just a casual investigation. I think you want to deliberately slander me?"

Lin Fan burst out laughing after hearing what the other party said.

When he laughed, a group of black figures holding spears surrounded the people who came to collect taxes.

The master who acted as the leader felt his scalp numb at this moment. He knew the terrifying record of the person in front of him.

If a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, let alone whether the army will come to suppress it in the future, he, the leading party, will definitely not be able to escape.

The government servants who came to take action also felt weak in the legs at this time.

The aura exuded by a group of top-notch experts gathered together is not something that these dawdling government servants can withstand.

"What? Do you still want to violently resist paying the poll tax?"

When the young man saw this scene, not only did he not panic, but he laughed.

He was indeed looking for trouble. As for why he was looking for trouble, it was natural that someone had entrusted him with it.

As for the fear of being surrounded.

The people in their tax department have never been afraid of any big force, even the Jianghu sect, they can come and go at will.

If anyone dares to resist, the troops under the control of the Department of Taxation will arrive soon.

“Who said I have to resist paying taxes?”

Lin Fan still had a smile on his face and was not frightened by what the other party said.

The young man frowned when he saw this. Lin Fan's reaction made him very unhappy.

After all, according to his thinking, when he resorted to this trick, the people in front of him would not kneel down and beg for mercy, but they would never dare to be arrogant.

By then, wouldn’t he have easily completed the tasks entrusted by him?

But now,

There's something wrong with the rhythm.

His previously unprofitable tactics didn't seem to work in front of Lin Fan.

However, he hesitated for a moment, and soon said in a cold voice: "Since you are willing to pay taxes, then make up for it quickly. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"

"I think so too, so if you have nothing to do, just leave quickly and don't stay in front of my house and hinder my eyes."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, acknowledging what the other party said.

But these words of approval made the other party's face turn ugly.

"Do you know who you are talking to? How dare you be so presumptuous!"

The young man couldn't hold back his anger.

"I know."

Teacher Lin Fan nodded: "Aren't you the person who collects the poll tax? My poll tax has been paid in full. If you don't leave quickly, won't you be an eyesore by standing in front of my door?"

"Be bold!"

The young man was extremely angry, but anger was obviously not suitable for his mission this time.

He came here this time not to make himself angry, but to make Lin Fan angry by looking for trouble, thereby resisting the payment of the poll tax.

As long as this crime is proven, no one can save him.

"My lord has already said that the poll tax you paid is not enough. If you don't make up the amount, you will be expelled from the army!"

The young man said coldly. As he spoke, Ye Xiaorou and several other wives came out, and he continued: "And you and these pretty ladies, just wait to be sent to the brothel. Seeing that you ladies are very good, here we go."

At this time, please be kind and take care of your business."

When he finished speaking, he smiled proudly, his face full of provocation.

But the next moment,

His proudly smiling face was directly covered by a slap.

"Snapped!"

The sound was soft and sweet, and the opponent spun around in the air for a few times before falling to the ground.
