Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1735 The service has softened

In the Mei family, the weather is getting warmer at this time, and it is suitable for logging into the mountains.

The Mei family is mainly engaged in the wood business. There are not only large-scale furniture workshops, but also the business of buying and selling logs.

The mountains and mountains in Anze Prefecture are rolling, and the vast forests with towering ancient trees can't be seen at a glance, and you can't get out after a few days.

However, if you are in the wood business, it does not mean that you can cut down arbitrarily.

Folks need wood in their homes. It is allowed to go up the mountain to cut down a few trees, but if you want to do timber business, you must register with the government, and you can only go into the mountain to cut down after getting the instructions.

In addition, the felling is also very particular. It is necessary to try not to hurt the young trees, and some big trees that have been grown for hundreds of years or hundreds of years are not allowed to start - in fact, the lumberjacks will not cut such trees. The ancient tree, everyone will be subconsciously in awe of such an ancient tree, thinking that this ancient tree has become a god, sheltered by the mountain god, easy to cut down, angering the mountain god, it is very likely to cause disaster, I am afraid that this bowl of rice will not be eaten.

The government does not give the approval for nothing. The number of trees that are cut down is the amount of tax that must be paid.

The Mei family cuts down a huge number of trees every year, but the tax paid is less than one-twentieth of what they should pay.

At this point, the Mei family has a lot of complaints and is very dissatisfied with the government. And each of the Zhizhou adults did not dare to say anything.

As long as the Mei family wants any convenience, they basically accept it without any objection!

Of course, the government did the same to the other two families. The remaining large and small families, those who are attached to the three big families and follow behind the three big families, can always get a mouthful of broth to drink.

If it weren't for this, Anze Prefecture's official finances would not have been so short that there were not even one hundred taels of silver on the books.

It is often necessary to borrow money from the three major families to distribute stipends.

Naturally, this loan is not a free loan, and it has to be exchanged for something else, such as this kind of official document of approval that needs to be issued by the government.

Since the Mei family is going to start logging in the mountains this year, they will naturally have to go to the government to get approval.

Without this approval, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, foreign merchants would not take goods from them at all.

Not only the inspection, but also the fine.

Fines a lot of money.

No one wants to take such a risk for no reason.

From top to bottom, the Anze Prefecture Government Office was looked down upon by the three major families, but in the end it was an official government, and its usefulness could not be replaced by any family.

No matter how strong and powerful the family is!

The second lady of the Mei family first brought a generous gift to visit Qiao Xuan—everyone who wants to take a roundabout way to save the country will always visit Qiao Xuan, the prefect lady~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Mei family is somewhat apprehensive. Shao Yunyun, the generous gift prepared here is really thick, even thicker than the gifts they have given to other Zhizhou adults in the past.

It's just that this is not what Qiao Xuan wants, nor what Shao Yunyun wants. Mrs. Mei's trip is doomed to no avail.

Qiao Xuan refused to accept even the generous gift she gave, and insisted that she take it back.

At first, Mrs. Mei thought that he would refuse to do so, but Qiao Xuan insisted that she had to take the gift back in the end.

This is the first time that a gift from the Mei family has been returned like this.

Mrs. Mei said in her heart that it would be impossible not to be aggrieved.

Qiao Xuan turned around and told Shao Yunyun about this, and joked: "The Mei family has begun to move. My husband has been paying more attention recently. Whether this head can be opened smoothly depends on this."

Shao Yunyun smiled: "They can try to compare to the bandits in Hutouzhai!"
