Chapter 014 Notice

As expected by Lin Zimo, the notice of Pingnan County's government office "conserving the people" was announced as soon as possible. Under the direct instructions of Li Renjie, the officials in the government sent this notice to all the villages under the jurisdiction of Pingnan County. The people and gentry who saw and heard the news of the tax increase all began to scold their mothers.

Wang Pengfei, who learned the content of the notice, ran directly to Lin Zimo's government office angrily. As soon as he entered the gate, he blurted out: "Do you want the people to live? The result of such a tax increase is unimaginable.

Lin Zimo, who was sitting on the chair and busy with official documents, glanced at the door and had been psychologically prepared for a long time: "Brother Wang, don't shout."

Wang Pengfei turned around and closed the door angrily, then walked to him and lowered his voice, "Didn't you hear any news in advance? You should talk to the old man about this matter.

Lin Zimo is naturally difficult to tell the truth and said with a helpless wry smile, "You really look up to me. Can I decide what happened in Pingnan County? The days when I came here are still short, and my buttocks are not even hot yet. Can you express your opinion casually?

Wang Pengfei knew that what he said was true, restrained his depression, and said with a happy face, "Hey... Brother, I'm not shouting at you, but I really can't stand the notice issued by the county government this time. It's a small matter for the people to make trouble when they get up. If they are forced to go against it, it will be a big deal.

"Brother Wang is cautious, if this is heard by good people, I'm afraid it will bring you a disaster." Lin Zimo's hand made a stop move and said, "You and I are both under orders and others. Some things can't be controlled. We can only take one step and see one step. We can only hope that the ship will naturally go straight to the bridge.

Immediately, Wang Pengfei showed more helplessness. Lin Zimo, who got up, asked him to sit down and then poured him a bowl of tea to calm down. Judging from his performance at this moment, Lin Zimo feels that he is an upright person, and it can be seen that he still really cares about the people under governance. However, I'm afraid it's not a good thing that he is too straightforward. Although Lin Zimo is an official for the first time, he knows that the bowl of rice in the government office needs to be measured and moderate.

Lin Zimo, who sat back in his seat, whispered, "Since what has happened, I think Brother Wang will go to pick up more people. There is a small suggestion that it is better not to be rough.

"I naturally understand this truth, I'm afraid it's not that simple. If the people can make sense if they are reasonable, what else do we need to do? Wang Pengfei was very worried and said, "The whole province is not peaceful in the first place. Nowadays, it is easy for this county to cause trouble.

When Lin Zimo saw his worried look, he naturally became worried. He thought to himself that if the county government only caught some people who took the lead in making trouble, this matter could be dealt with. I'm afraid of large-scale bloodshed. After all, the people and the government are never good at each other.

Soon, the two fell silent. After a few hours, a messenger came in to break this dead tranquility. Wang Pengfei, who was still unhappy, said goodbye. After dealing with the public official who came to work, Lin Zimo calculated whether to pretend to be ill. After all, he didn't want to get involved again.

If the matter really happened, he took the initiative to hand over the 2,000 taels of silver, indicating that he was coerced and had nothing to do with this matter. He is a scholar who has just come out to become an official, so he can't avoid being confused by intimidation and threats from others. The reason why Lin Zimo is unwilling to fall deeper and deeper is to get rid of his I am well aware of the seriousness of the development of this matter, and I really admire the courage of both of them.

When the time comes, Lin Zimo is walking home alone. When he passed the blacksmith's shop, he couldn't help walking in and spending five taels of silver to buy a long sword. His own safety is small, and their safety has become a big deal in his heart.

Lin Zimo, who walked back home, hung the sword he had just bought on the wall of the north house. Yang Mengqi, who put down the needlework in his hand, had already heard his hired mother mention the notice of the county government office. Now, she saw him buy a sword and go home and knew the seriousness of the situation.

"The food you prepared for your home in advance is enough for us to eat for half a year." Lin Zimo looked at Yang Mengqi and said very seriously, "Don't go out easily with Hanlu until the storm subsides. When I'm not at home, you must close the door tightly and never open the door for strangers.

"The slave family will definitely do it according to the will of the father-in-law." Yang Mengqi, who understood in his heart, also answered very seriously.

When it was time for dinner, she followed a step behind Lin Zimo and walked out. Chu Hanlu guarded the table early and couldn't wait to start the meal. The standard of four dishes and one soup on the table is set by yourself. He thinks it's just right that it's neither wasteful nor extravagant. He, the head of the family, sat on the main seat and moved the first chopsticks, and then they also moved their chopsticks.

Lin Zimo saw Chu Hanlu's appearance of a vicious wolf and couldn't help nagging, "Can you eat a little?"

While chewing dishes in Chu Hanlu's mouth, she raised her little head and smiled, "Liu's mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Yang Mengqi winped at her, implying that she should pay attention to the image of a lady. She has been delicious since she was a child. When she sees delicious food, she can forget her last name. Chu Hanlu was used to Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi, so she was even more informal.

Lin Zimo repeatedly talked about Chu Hanlu several times and saw that she was still doing her own way, and there was something in her heart, so he got up with a blank face and said, "Take your time. I'll eat well."

His voice accompanied him left the dining table, shook his head step by step to the front hall, and sat on the circle chair and thought about something.

Yang Mengqi, like a mirror, couldn't help stretching out his right hand and gently patted Chu Hanlu's head and said, "You are really good. You can also make your father-in-law angry."

Chu Hanlu, who was full of oily mouth, rubbed his forehead gently and said aggrievedly, "I didn't do anything wrong. Don't wrong me."

"Do you still have reason? Can't you be a little more careful?" Yang Mengqi, who aspired to be a good wife, said seriously, "Now, there is no shortage of food in our family. Besides, no one will fight with you. Can't you chew slowly? I really think a certain dish is delicious, just let the kitchen cook it again. Why do you look like that?"

Yang Mengqi pouted and muttered, "In the past, he never talked about me, but now he talks about me."

......

Lin Zimo had just finished drinking a cup of tea, and Wang Fugui came to visit. He walked so fast that he almost tripped over the threshold. Although he was a little disgemone, he didn't make a fool of himself. Lin Zi silently saw him come in and got up and took two steps out, indicating that the owner should be polite.

Wang Fugui said dissatisfiedly, "The notice of tax increase in the county government is really too much. The gentry and scholars in Pingnan County were very dissatisfied and prepared to go to the county government to petition and ask the county magistrate to abolish this ridiculous notice.

Lin Zimo, who sat down again, looked at the money and house he had given him, and gently reminded him, "Brother, I'm afraid this decision of Zhixian has been carefully considered by him. If you go to petition, there will be no result.

"People's livelihood is really difficult. I hope Lin Zhubu can save the people of Pingnan County." Wang Fugui pretended to be worried about the country and the people and wanted to pull him in and said, "We are all villagers, so we should help them."

Lin Zimo, who understood what he meant, scolded in his heart. I know that Wang Fugui is the richest man in Pingnan County. His interests were the most hurt this time. He wanted to lose less to his interests, but he didn't want to take the lead, so Wang Fugui naturally thought of Lin Zimo. I really thought he was a book businessman, and he would definitely promise to be the first bird.

Although Lin Zimo doesn't have much friendship with him, he is still heard of him. Lin Zimo estimated that he would definitely allocate the additional tax to all kinds of rents, and the so-called "seeking the people for water and fire" is just a pretext. The purpose is to improve his position and prestige among the gentry and lay the foundation for stepping into an official career in the future. After all, the scholars living in the current dynasty have a A good reputation has many benefits.

Lin Zimo will not be used as a gun by him, so he started Taijiquan and said, "Brother Gaoyi, I really admire it, but in recent days, I feel very uncomfortable. As for this matter, I'm really powerless."

Wang Fugui knew that he was a word of excuse and wanted to drive the ducks to the shelves and said, "You must take care of yourself. However, the safety of the people of Pingnan County is an incumbent on us. Lin Zhubu is the official of the imperial court and the solution of this session. If you don't take this head, it will be underestimated by the readers all over the world.

Lin Zimo cursed the word 'rely' secretly. After all, he carried out such a big hat. Suddenly, I admire Wang Fugui's shameless behavior of being both a bitch and archway. In order to achieve his personal goals, he said something high-sounding.

Lin Zimo, who waved his hand, pretended to be weak and wanted to kick the ball back in front of him and said, "I really want to find a rich place for the people of Pingnan County. Oh... It's just that you can't understand my difficulties. The suffering on my body and mind made me insomnia all night. Brother Shi is so worried about the world, so it's annoying for you to take this head!"
