In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Sun Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Jun relax.

"Mr. Chen! The imperial court has issued an order to levy taxes! What should we do in the future?" Sun Ying smiled and poured some more tea for Chen Jun.

"What are you afraid of? It's as if your family can't even afford to eat! When the time comes, you just need to pay the taxes honestly! The ones who should be worried are those poor people who can't even afford to eat!" Chen Jun said with a smile.

"There has been drought in the past two years! If we really levy taxes, there will probably be trouble!" Sun Ying asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there won't be any chaos! But when you are asked to donate money and grain, give more so I can say good things about you in front of my father! As for those who can't hand over the grain, take them to the mine! Let them dig coal to pay off their debts!" ​​Chen Jun said with a smile. A coal mine was discovered in Xishan County. It was not very large, but the farmers who had fields to cultivate were unwilling to go to the coal mine. After all, they didn't know when the coal would be buried inside!

"Mr. Chen! I have prepared a banquet in the flower house to thank you for your care!" Sun Ying looked at Chen Jun and saw that he had no intention of taking the food at this time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'll go and have a drink with you! I remember there are a few beauties in your brothel! Let them come and have a drink with me later!" Sun Ying stared at Chen Jun, and when he saw that he finally relaxed his frown, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that the imperial court's taxation order was undoubtedly a huge disaster for the people, but facing a powerful son like Chen Jun, he had to be cautious.

He smiled like a spring breeze, gently poured some hot tea for Chen Jun, and said softly: "Mr. Chen, the imperial court has issued the taxation order, and we ordinary people are really at a loss. You have a wealthy family, so you don't have to worry about it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cope with it."

Chen Jun smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of! Your family is not so poor that you can't even afford to eat. Isn't it okay to just pay the taxes honestly? The ones who should be worried are those poor people who can't even afford to eat!"

Sun Ying's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that the continuous drought in the past two years had made life difficult for the people. If the imperial court imposed taxes, it would probably cause a big disturbance. He asked worriedly, "Mr. Chen, the drought has been severe in the past two years, and the people have had a hard time. If taxes are really imposed, there will probably be chaos."

Chen Jun waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. When the time comes to donate money and grain, you can give more and I will speak well of you in front of my father. As for those who can't hand in the grain, we will take them to the mines to dig coal and let them pay off their debts with labor!"

At this point, Chen Jun showed a smug smile on his face. He continued, "By the way, a coal mine was recently discovered in Xishan County. Although it is not large in scale, the farmers who have land are unwilling to go there. They would rather guard those few acres of thin land than take risks in the coal mine. Humph, these people are really stupid and don't know what the real benefits are."

Sun Ying felt a chill in his heart when he heard what Chen Jun said. He knew that these children of the rich and powerful often ignored the lives of the people for their own benefit. But he also knew that he could not offend Chen Jun, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. So, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I have set up a banquet in the flower building to thank you for your care. Please come and have a drink with me."

Chen Jun's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard this. He stood up, patted Sun Ying on the shoulder, and said, "Well, I'll go have a drink with you. I remember there are a few beauties in your brothel. How about asking them to come and have a drink with me?"

Sun Ying's heart trembled, but on the surface he smiled even more brightly and nodded. He knew that today's hurdle was over. As long as it was delayed until tomorrow night, he would see if Chen Jun could still smile. He even thought that if he couldn't grab the food, he would burn Chen Jun's food and not leave any for him.

"Then Mr. Chen! Let's go to the brothel together!" Sun Ying said with a smile on his face. At this time, Lin Kunlun was also called out by him.

"I recognize you! You are the one who came to check the grain with Sun Ying last time! It seems that your boss Sun values ​​you very much!" Chen Jun looked at Lin Kunlun and said with a smile. He did not take Lin Kunlun seriously. In his eyes, he was just a little brother of Sun Ying.

"Mr. Chen! I'm just asking for a living under Boss Sun! If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me!" You may know very well that although Chen Jun is just the son of the county magistrate, this kind of person has great power. He can even destroy a family. Naturally, you won't offend him directly. This is also the sadness of the little people in this era!

Sun Ying smiled and poured tea for Chen Jun from time to time, and the two walked side by side towards the brothel. Although it was only morning, the brothel was not as brightly lit as it was at night, with singing birds and dancing swallows, it seemed like a prosperous paradise.

However, Sun Ying, the boss, had already called all the girls and arranged all kinds of delicious food.

Chen Jun was talking and laughing along the way, and seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming banquet. Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun followed him carefully, fearing that there would be any mistakes. They passed through the bustling streets and finally arrived in front of the flower house.

In front of the brothel, several girls dressed in gorgeous clothes were welcoming guests. When they saw Chen Jun and others coming, they immediately came up to greet them warmly. Sun Ying smiled slightly and led Chen Jun and Lin Kunlun in.

The banquet had already begun, and the atmosphere in the brothel was particularly lively. You know, a place like a brothel is closed in the morning, and the busiest time should be at night! However, in order to entertain Chen Jun, Sun Ying specially arranged everything.

Sun Ying filled a glass of wine for Chen Jun and raised his glass to toast him. Chen Jun drank it all without hesitation and praised: "Good wine! Boss Sun really knows how to do things."

Sun Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that as long as Chen Jun was happy, today's incident would be over. He continued to accompany Chen Jun to drink and chat, and from time to time asked the girls to toast Chen Jun to cheer him up. Lin Kunlun silently observed everything from the side. He knew that many girls here were probably forced. Or they were sold here because their families were really poor. But in such an era, he really could do nothing.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Jun was already a little drunk. He patted Sun Ying on the shoulder and said, "Boss Sun! I am very satisfied with your performance this time! If there is anything good in the future, I will think of you first!"

Sun Ying was delighted and thanked him immediately. He knew that he had made the right move today. As long as he could please Chen Jun, at least Chen Jun would not suspect him. As long as he could find a way to get the food away, he could sell it at a high price or form a team. Sun Ying had a ruthless look on his face.

At this moment, Chen Jun pulled the hand of a woman who was toasting him and started moving unconsciously.

He turned his head and stared at Sun Ying beside him, and said with a smile: "Why doesn't Boss Sun find a beautiful woman to accompany him properly?"

Sun Ying's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly said with a smile: "Sun is already exhausted! How can I compare with Mr. Chen who is young and strong!"

"Haha!" Chen Jun laughed loudly, his hands never stopping. From time to time, he took a bite of the delicious food that the woman next to him brought.

"Little brother, is this your first time here?" Chen Jun saw Lin Haoyue who was accompanying him. Lin Haoyue had already toasted Chen Jun several glasses of wine. However, he did not let those girls accompany him. He felt that these people were pitiful.

"Mr. Chen, you don't know! If my family knew about this, they would pull my ears off!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.

"Hahaha! So you have a bad wife at home! How can a man be afraid of his wife!..." Chen Jun shook his head and took another sip. He ignored Lin Kunlun and the wine that the girl passed to him.

Lin Kunlun also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had handled all kinds of occasions when doing business in his previous life, this was an ancient society after all. He didn't want to force those girls to do anything. Moreover, with the current medical conditions, it's conceivable that if they got those diseases, it would be a disaster. According to historical records, it seems that Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty died of syphilis.
