There were three days before and after the grain tax in Qu County, but such a big accident happened on the first day. Although it did not affect tax collection, it aroused the attention of all the people. Many people in the county who had no land and did not need to pay taxes came to watch.

Even the people who had paid their taxes were reluctant to go home, and more and more people watched the excitement at the gate of the county government office. Finally, on the third day, Lord Tongpan arrived in Zhoucheng, a group of Lords riding tall horses, and the people suddenly became excited.

The general magistrate of Chuanzhou, whose surname is Zhou, is in the seventh rank, one level higher than Xiao Qingshan's official rank. Zhou Tongpan didn't come by himself, he brought many guards from the government office with him, including guys.

Xiao Qingshan had met Lord Tongpan and quickly saluted. Zhou Tongpian waved his hand to let him off the hook: "Where are the Huang family? Are General Li's people also under guard?"

Xiao Qingshan felt that although Tongpan looked tired, his eyes were really bright and there was a hint of impatience in his voice. While asking, he walked towards the county government office and motioned for Xiao Qingshan to follow him quickly.

"Lord Zhou, stay!" Xiao Qingshan quickly stopped the judge, "Because there is no evidence, I can't take the head of the Huang family into custody. Where are everyone in the Huang family now?"

Tong Xuan paused as he rushed towards the county. What do you mean? No one is locked up? At this time, it was too late to break up with Xiao Qingshan. He had to take everyone back to the government office before General Li's people arrived.

After asking about the location of the Huang family, the judge turned around and left the county government office with his men. The time before and after was very short, and I didn't even go to the county government hall to drink water. Xiao Qingshan didn't dare to tell the truth. If they were all taken into custody, the county government would have to take care of many people's meals!

In the past few days, no one dared to come to him to inquire about information. However, his wife received a lot of posts. It's good to take people away quickly, so that the whole family can have a good sleep.

After finally collecting the grain tax, Xiao Qingshan set up a banquet at the county government office. This time I prepared drinks to see off Director Shi. At the same time, I naturally hope that Director Shi can help and put in a good word when he returns.

In fact, Director Shi also wanted to ask Mr. Xiao for help. General Liu and the team of 20 soldiers were originally here to escort the tax grain. Now that they have all been taken away by Tongpan, Director Shi cannot transport so much food back alone.

Xiao Qingshan was a little embarrassed when he heard that he was on official business and all the county government officials were sent out at once. The risk of escorting grain is still high, and the convoy moves slowly. It takes at least five or six days to go back and forth.

Officer Shi also knew that there were only about twenty government officials in Qu County. After thinking about it, I thought that I could apply to give Liu Xiaojiang and his family’s travel and food subsidies to the county government.

"Director Shi is so polite. I will personally arrange for the government officials to help you load the car tomorrow morning. The government officials in our county have been trained to ensure safe delivery." Xiao Qingshan agreed as soon as he heard that there was money.

Xie Boyuan was a little embarrassed sitting next to him. This was really not what he taught him. Director Shi was also a little stunned. It was really easy to guess what Mr. Xiao was thinking. Several scribes were also incomprehensible, so Master Xiao is this kind of Master Xiao? You must have a good talk with your family master when you go back.

The next day, everyone was sent away. Xiao Qingshan could finally relax and instantly felt like he was ready to celebrate the New Year.

Returning to the county government office happily, Xiao Qingshan prepared to say hello to Master Yuan and then went back to the backyard to accompany his wife. As a result, they were stopped by Xie Boyuan. They needed to discuss how to sell the fruits they had purchased previously.

Moreover, if the sales of the fruit are good, Xie Boyuan suggested that this account should also be made an announcement. Just post it at the gate of the county government office, and arrange for someone to read it out as before. In order to encourage villagers to plant fruit trees next year, we will do a warm-up.

Mingjia explained the term "preheating" to Xie Boyuan. Xie Boyuan thinks it is very accurate and the idea is very good.

Xiao Qingshan felt that Master must still have something to say, so he said decisively: "If there is anything else, let's talk about it together!" He even looked at death with an aura.

Xie Boyuan thought it was funny, but since Xiao Qingshan wanted to know, he would list the next things. He even took some small things to top up, intending to scare Xiao Qingshan.

First, send someone to the home where you have ordered fruit saplings before to verify how many fruit saplings you can get next year and confirm the price.

Second, sell the purchased fruit and then announce the price and profit.

Third, prepare to go to the state capital again to implement the tax reductions and exemptions that were previously stated in the brochure and get back the benefits.

After all, Li Quanyong is the governor of the state, and he must have many capable people. It would be best to ask him to borrow some experts who are good at digging wells.

Fourth, I suggest you organize a big fair before collecting business taxes. It would be best to hire a theater troupe from other places. The people will be happy because of the autumn harvest, the merchants can also make some money, and it will be easy for you to collect taxes.

Fifth, Mr. Xiao, have you forgotten that the county school teacher has not been found yet? What kind of charter?

sixth. . . . . . Hearing that there was still a sixth person, Xiao Qingshan quickly covered Xie Boyuan's mouth: "Shut up and let me handle one thing at a time, okay?"

Looking at Mr. Xiao who was a little broken, Xie Boyuan couldn't help but want to laugh. Mingjia was also in a state of collapse at the beginning, but in the end he couldn't control his little thoughts and wanted to continue to do bad things.

"Master Xiao, I suggest you finish the first four of these things before the end of October. It's too cold. What if the villagers don't want to come out to the market?" Looking at Xiao Qingshan's face, he seems to be able to accept it.

"Things about the county school must be confirmed before the end of November. If it needs to be announced, I will definitely come back to the county at the end of the year to spread the news. Next spring, the county school can start on time."

Xie Boyuan felt happy watching Xiao Qingshan change from elated to listless, so what should he do if he still wanted to tease him?

Xiao Qingshan suddenly felt that it was so difficult to be a good official! Could he stop being a good official? He just wanted to go back to the backyard to chat with his wife. When her daughter-in-law was cooking, he hadn't helped her burn the fire for a long time.

When Cheng Si walked in with the letter, he saw Mr. Xiao squatting on the ground, drawing circles in a dejected manner. Commander Xie, on the other hand, stood aside with his arms crossed and a scheming smile on his face.

When Xiao Qingshan heard someone coming, he raised his head and asked feebly: "What's going on?" Cheng Si quickly handed over the letter in his hand, "Sir, the letter from Qingzhou and a few boxes have been placed at the county government office."

The letter handed over by Cheng Si paused for a moment in front of Xie Boyuan's eyes, and Xie Boyuan's eyes suddenly opened wide. All smiles disappeared, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out for the letter, but Xiao Qingshan took the letter.

Xiao Qingshan recognized the handwriting of Mr. Xie Boyu on the top of the letter at first glance, and was very happy to finally receive a reply. He thought that because of Xie Jin, Mr. Xie disowned him as a student.

Xiao Qingshan suddenly became energetic, sat at the desk and began to open the letter, reading the letter happily.

Xie Boyuan's lips moved for a long time, but he did not dare to confirm the person who wrote the letter. However, he could not mistake it, it was his cousin's handwriting.
