Master Qian Liang couldn't help but look Qiao Huaping up and down.
Qiao Huaping let him look at it without raising his eyelids, and his expression remained unchanged: "Master, I would like to ask, what is the basis for allocating the land? Is it the population size of the village, or the time when I first came to Yixiang? Or what?
Other factors? I’d like to hear the details.”
Master Qian Liang didn't expect Qiao Huaping to ask directly like this, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "What's the point of this?"
Qiao Huaping chuckled: "Why doesn't it matter? If we look at the population, I have already inquired about it. At the moment, there are only about 300 people in Qinglanba, and about 400 in Fangjiabao. As for our Liujin Village,
The largest number is nearly six hundred people."
Master Qianliang immediately responded: "Yes, you see, your Liujin Village has the largest population, so we have given you the largest piece of land. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Qiao Huaping's expression remained unchanged, and he continued with a smile: "So, is it really divided according to population? The land in the valley is obviously not as large as the land in the river valley. Fangjiabao has a population of 400, so why not go to the river valley?
That piece of land."
Master Qianliang's face dropped.
The people in Fangjiabao almost jumped with anger!
Fang Tingjiang couldn't hold back his temper and glared angrily, as if he wanted to eat Qiao Huaping in one bite: "This is none of your business!"
The villagers of Liujin Village shouted angrily: "Why are you yelling!"
Qiao Huaping sneered and immediately replied to Fang Tingjiang: "What does it have to do with me?... Why is it none of my business? Land allocation is the foundation of a village in the future, it is not a trivial matter! Our Liujin Village is also about to become a town.
A village under the jurisdiction of a county has to figure out how the land is divided, so why is it none of my business?"
Qiao Huaping's momentum was like a rainbow. Fang Tingjiang was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He didn't know how to respond and couldn't help scratching the back of his head.
Master Qianliang will inevitably have a headache.
He looked at Qiao Huaping vaguely and remembered the rumors in the county government that his cousin had a benefactor...
Although he had no evidence, Master Qianliang's intuition told him that the prickly-looking woman in front of him was his cousin's benefactor.
I heard that the county magistrate's wife also told her that she had visited the county government's back house and gave her an exquisite box.
In addition, he seemed to have seen just now that the personal maid named Mo Qian next to his cousin called this woman into the back office...
Master Qianliang's eyes flashed, and when he spoke, his tone softened a bit: "Madam, please don't be impatient. I didn't say that the boundaries were divided according to the population of each village..."
Qiao Huaping nodded and asked, "Is it possible that this is the time of coming to Yixiang?"
There was a rather half-smiling look on her face.
Obviously, if Master Qianliang dared to admit this, she still had a lot of words waiting for her.
Master Qianliang only felt a headache and said vaguely: "There are many considerations in demarcating land boundaries, and it is not a single condition..."
Qiao Huaping looked eager for knowledge: "I would like to hear the details."
A story about Mr. Qian Liang.
Do you want him to say that it was because the people from Fangjiabao gave him a hundred taels of silver and the most beautiful girl in the village wisely volunteered to carry a small sedan into the county magistrate's back office?
But Qiao Huaping had an attitude of "You really have to tell me something today" and looked at him calmly.
With such momentum, Master Qianliang was even suppressed to the point where he was speechless.
Master Qianliang's eyes were a little wandering: "Well... this, it will take a while, it's not easy to explain clearly. How about you ask the county magistrate?"
Master Qian Liang obviously knows how to stir things up.
But Qiao Huaping refused to let Mr. Qianliang continue to stir the paste.
She looked at the thin beads of sweat on Mr. Qianliang's forehead and smiled suddenly: "Master, it's okay if I can't explain clearly at this moment. We have plenty of time. Just tell me slowly. If anything happens, just push it aside."
To the county magistrate?... People who don’t know better may think that you’re lying on the ground without a meal. And those who don’t know the rules may think that the county magistrate is your subordinate and wants to explain the government decree for you.”
Master Qian Liang's face changed, turning red and turning purple.
He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with his long sleeve.
This country girl has such a greedy mouth!
Whenever these words reach the ears of the county magistrate, he will be ashamed of himself!
Master Qian Liang felt sweat dripping from his forehead and couldn't help but wipe it again.
Qiao Huaping smiled half-heartedly: "Master, do you think so?"
Master Qian Liang trembled and immediately said: "Hey, hey, madam, please wait a minute. Allow me, allow me to ask?"
From "How about you ask the county magistrate" to "Let me go and ask", it only takes a few sentences.
Qiao Huaping smiled and said: "Then I'll bother you, Master Qianliang. We are not those unruly people, we just want to ask questions and see if we can survive. Master, look at the barren mountains," she sighed pretending to be worried.
, "We have seen all the old ways of farming, but we can't survive growing food. We don't even know how to pay taxes!"
Upon hearing the word "tax", Mr. Qianliang's eyes flashed.
He knelt down and said, "Wait a moment," and then went to the county government office.
Magistrate Wang was discussing matters with the local garrison Zhu Peng. Master Qian Liang asked his servant to inform him, and then went into the study to tell Magistrate Wang about the matter.
Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, thinking about the soft jade that his newly acquired concubine had made last night. His throat moved, and he was about to say something.
However, Zhu Shoubei asked thoughtfully: "You said the person you questioned was a woman from Liujin Village?...What's your last name?"
Master Qianliang was stunned and said truthfully: "I haven't asked this yet. However, I have long heard that the temporary leader of Liujin Village is a woman, so I guess it must be her."
Zhu Shoubei paused slightly: "...I heard that she once saved Miss Sun."
Master Qian Liang smiled awkwardly: "It seems to be her."
Zhu Shoubei said nothing.
Magistrate Wang hissed.
Master Qianliang was a little anxious, fearing that the Fangjiabao incident would cause further trouble. He suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "However, the woman just emphasized taxes. She must be worried about the wasteland and not being able to pay taxes."
County Magistrate Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly glanced at Zhu Shoubei, and said: "What's so difficult about this? Originally, the tax for reclaiming wasteland should be exempted. In this way, the two pieces of land in Fangjiabao and Qinglanba
, each will be exempted from taxes for one year, and the taxes will be reduced by 30% in the next year - as for the land in Liujin Village, because it is a barren mountain, it is difficult to cultivate it, so it will be exempted from taxes for three years. "
Master Qian Liang was overjoyed and praised County Magistrate Wang repeatedly for caring about his people and being worthy of being a father-in-law of the township.
Magistrate Wang smiled modestly, stroking his beard and waving his hand.
