After receiving the suggestion, Cui Zhiduan walked towards the steward of the Duan family and put forward his request. The steward of the Duan family had a look of surprise on his face. He probably didn't expect that the magistrate's husband would come to inquire about such a trivial matter.
his opinion.
Visible to the naked eye, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic and sincere, and his tone was very soft: "Of course it's okay. It's just the break time. If Cui Xiaolangjun has any questions, just ask them."
The steward of the Duan family shouted again and asked everyone to rest for a quarter of an hour. The farmers were very happy and put down their farm tools to rest on the spot. They either wiped sweat or drank water, and some continued to talk about the topic just now.
Get up, it looks very lively.
"Cui Xiaolangjun, please do it yourself."
Cui Zhiduan's eyes paused on the smile on his face, and he bowed his hands and thanked: "Thank you very much, steward."
Cui Zhiduan already had a candidate and walked directly towards Tie Laosan and others. Tie Laosan was talking about his son enthusiastically. When he saw the young man from the prefect's family coming over, he quickly stood up to say hello. When the others saw this, they cheered.
It occupies a large area of land and looks very reserved.
This was the first time Cui Zhiduan faced people other than his master's servants. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still remembered the purpose of his trip, so he imitated his mother's usual behavior, showed a gentle look, and said: "Everyone
Uncle, you don't have to be polite. I'm taking the liberty to bother you. I have a few questions that I would like to ask my uncles for advice. I hope they will give me some advice."
The polite and polite words made all the farmers look at each other, surprised and flattered. They were just ordinary people digging in the fields. How could they have the skills to ask the prefect for advice?
Tie Laosan looked around and found Mrs. Ning Guo standing not far away, watching this scene with a smile. Even the prefect who was busy on the other side also looked over, without any intention of stopping him, so he boldly agreed.
: "I wonder if Mr. Lang has anything to ask?"
Everyone was very kind, and Cui Zhiduan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly expressed his confusion.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent.
Is he really worthy of being a young man from a noble family? He actually cares about such an issue. Is it hard to do hard work? Of course it is hard, but hard work is something that ordinary people like them cannot avoid. Even if it is hard, in order not to be caught
Even if you are sick, you have to go to jail.
But compared to before, their lives are much better now.
In the past, the imperial court collected a lot of tax revenue. Since last year, it no longer collects poll tax, but instead collects it as land tax. This has made some farmers with more people and less land breathe a sigh of relief. I heard that this reform was proposed by their prefect.
Tie Laosan gave a thumbs up and praised: "The magistrate is really a good official who loves the people like his own son. If you weren't there, we would have been hit by the flood this time. It would probably take several years for us to recover. Now. Now
Well, you don’t have to pay taxes, and you can still earn some money by doing hard labor. I heard that the city is also recruiting craftsmen to do work. As long as we have some strength and are willing to work, we can all earn a lot of money."
"Isn't it true? This year, we can have a happy year."
"I am saving money right now. I want to make new clothes for my family during the Chinese New Year. My family has not worn new clothes for several years."
"Yes, yes, we people are not afraid of working hard, but we are afraid of being treated like livestock by the masters. The prefect gave us the opportunity to work and make money, and we are grateful to him from the bottom of our hearts."
…
The farmers talked a lot and expressed their opinions. Only then did Cui Zhiduan realize that his father was greater than he thought.
