its 283: not a victory

After drinking half a cup of tea in the reception room of the town office, the guard of Xiaoyu Town ran in in panic. As soon as they met, he first bowed to the ground, and then asked with a smile, "The subordinate is Fei Yubin, the guard of Xiaoyu Town. I don't know that the master is coming..."

"I once stayed in Fenglai Village for a while. Thanks to the villagers of Fenglai Village, I can live until now and become the master of the door." Cheng Ming looked at the guard for a while, and then saw him in a cold sweat before saying so. The villagers are all my folk friends, and there is a Mr. Hong who taught me to play words at the beginning, just like my teacher. But he was forced to die by you because he couldn't pay taxes. Also, just now, your arrester was going to forcibly pull the women into the kiln in the town. Lord Fei, let me ask you, are you officials or mountain thieves?

"How can it be a mountain thief!" The guard was in chaos. While wiping his sweat, he explained, "The master of the door is angry! I think there must be a misunderstanding here. The subordinates have always strictly restrained their subordinates and asked them not to hurt the people. I didn't expect that they would disobey them. Damn it! Don't worry, I will punish the three guys who are responsible for the tax revenue of Fenglai Village!"

"Punishment is necessary, but it can't solve the problem." Cheng Xingxing said, " Fenglai Village is located in a remote and desolate mountainous area. Without fertile land, it is impossible to cope with all kinds of heavy taxes. Can you sell my personal feelings, temporarily reduce or exempt some taxes, and wait for me to help them get out of poverty..."

"That's no problem!" The guard nodded hurriedly, "I really don't know much about the other side. If you don't tell me, I really don't know if there are still these secrets. Don't worry, I will make great efforts to reduce the tax of Fenglai Village.

"Very good." Cheng Xingxing smiled secretly in his heart: No wonder so many people are scrambling to enter the top ten of the state. It's different to enter the top ten status. Local officials dare not offend you at all, as if you were the boss.

"But you'd better do what you say." Cheng Mingxing stood up and said, "I will send someone to Fenglai Village. If any more arrogant guys come there, I can't guarantee that there will be no murder. I think Lord Zhenshou should know what I have to do with some senior officials, right?

"I understand, understand!" The guard nodded hurriedly, "The subordinate knows that you are... Hey hey, you are the person Huo Ge likes, and you are also the champion of the State General God Conference. Sooner or later, you will become a senior official. Do you dare not follow your orders?"

"As long as you understand." Cheng Xingxing grinned and waved his hand proudly with a villain's ambitious expression: "Not to mention the champion of the State General God Conference, if I'm willing, it's not difficult to win the national championship."

It's not that he is impetuous and can't find the north, but deliberately tries his best to keep this town. He has to make sure that the guard will never embarrass the villagers in Fenglai Village.

"That's it!" The guard hurriedly flattered and praised the star for more than ten minutes, which made the star very useful, but he did not forget the purpose of the trip. After forcing Gali to seduce him again, he got up and left. The garrison hurriedly asked several arresters to prepare their horses and personally sent them back to Fenglai Village.

Although he is only a minor official, this Lord Fei Yubin is as clear as those senior officials. After sending Cheng Mingxing to Fenglai Village, he was not in a hurry to leave, but went into the village to give a speech to the villagers. The general meaning is that because he was unaware, some of the black sheep in the fast hunt endangered the interests of the villagers. He felt very sorry for everyone, and then announced that according to the intention of the master, he decided to temporarily exempt all taxes in Fenglai Village.

This incident made all the villagers overjoyed, and at the same time, they couldn't help sighing that the status of becoming a star today was so high. Not only would the arrest be punished, but the guard also personally apologized to everyone, and he could be exempted from taxes. This is simply It was too unexpected for the villagers of Fenglai Village.

The cheers soon sounded, and there was an extra worship in everyone's eyes as a star, which made the star a little fluttering.

The guard was sold well and immediately left. The villagers came one after another to express their gratitude to Cheng Xingxing. Under those words of praise, Cheng Xingxing vaguely didn't know what his surname was.

"Is it so beautiful?" After everything calmed down, Shu Xiaoya and others who came down from the mountain returned to his hut with Cheng Xingxing. As soon as they sat down, Shu Xiaoya looked at Cheng Xingxing coldly and asked.

"It's okay." He became a star with a proud face.

"Let me tell you, Brother Liu suffered a skin injury. I have given him medicine, and he will be completely healed in a few days." Xun Xianxue told him about Brother Liu.

"Thank you." Laugh as a star.

"You are so beautiful!" Shu Xiaoya patted the table and said, "You think you have become a great hero, don't you?"

"You..." Cheng Xing was shocked and looked at Shu Xiaoya with a little confusion on his face. Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?

"You saved the villagers of Fenglai Village, but also harmed the villagers of other villages." Mulan whispered from the side.

"How do you say that?" Cheng Xingxing was a little surprised and couldn't figure out what this had to do with other villagers.

"Taxes must be collected." Mulan said, "The guard here is an old man, but you also know that he is actually a very small official. The tax came up, not into his purse, but paid to the upper class. Without the tax of a village, how will the superiors deal with him? You should understand."

"So..." Cheng Xing was dumbfounded, and he vaguely understood what he had done.

"What did you say?" Shu Xiaoya snorted, "If the guard exempts the tax of Fenglai Village, he will naturally increase the tax of Kita Village and make up for this hole. Otherwise, do you think he is flattering you out of his own pocket? You saved a group of people, but you also harmed a group of people.

"This..." Cheng Xing was completely dumbfounded. Just now, he thought he was a great hero, but now he understands that he is robbing the poor to help the poor and saving a group of people.

"What can I do?" He was in a hurry." Why don't I go to the guard and ask him..."

"It's useless." Mulan shook his head and said, "As long as he insists that he will not increase the taxes of other villages, you can't help it. You can't stare at him every day. How does he send his men to collect taxes? Where do you know?

"Speaking of which, the source is still above." Xun Xianxue said. As long as Huo Zhongyang does not exempt those harsh taxes for a day, the hardships of the lower-class people will not be freed for a day. After all, you help Su Kongcheng deal with Huo Zhongyang, which is already repaying the villagers in Fenglai Village.

"There is a way now." Shu Xiaoya said, "Find the fee guard and explain that there is no need to exempt the tax of Fenglai Village, and the tax will be paid by us. Then we find a way to increase the income of the villagers in Fenglai Village, so that we can cope with these messy taxes. Next, it's all up to you."

"What do you mean?" The star didn't understand.

"Dealing with the superior." Shu Xiaoya smiled and said, "If you help Su Kongcheng overthrow Huo Zhongyang one day earlier, these miscellaneous taxes can be withdrawn one day earlier. At that time, not only the people of Fenglai Village, but also all the poor people in the world could breathe a sigh of relief.

"How did you get the alliance with the King of Clouds?" Cheng Xingqi sighed.

"It's not as good as pumping firewood at the bottom of the pot to stop boiling." Shu Xiaoya said, "As long as the harsh and miscellaneous taxes are eliminated, this problem can be completely solved. I think you are free. Don't stay here. Go to the imperial capital early. Meet Su Kongcheng and discuss with him how to deal with Huo Zhongyang. If you clean him up one day earlier, the people can live a good life earlier.

"That's reasonable." Cheng Xingxing nodded.

"I just went to the nearby mountain to have a look. The mountains here are high and dense, and the mountains are mostly forests such as pines and cypresses. The wood resources are very good." Shu Xiaoya said excitedly, "I think it would be better if we opened a wood factory here!"

"Wood...Wood Factory?" He became a star and was stunned.

"What is that?" Xun Xianxue asked curiously, and Shu Xiaoya waved her hand: "It's a workshop that processes wood to make wood products. I saw that this is a mountainous area, and the land resources used for farming are scarce. It is impossible to engage in agriculture, but if you engage in forestry, you can definitely make a lot of money! I decided to invest a lot of money here to open a wood factory, and then absorb the villagers, and the economic problems in the village will be solved. At the same time, it can also open up an extra financial road for our wonderful door.

"Hey, hey..." Cheng Xingxing grinned and hurriedly stopped Shu Xiaoya, "My Secretary Shu, how dare you think..."

"What's the point you don't dare to think about?" Shu Xiaoya snorted, "You don't have to take care of this matter. It's all up to me. Hurry up and go to the imperial capital!"

"This is a matter!" Xun Xianxue was also excited, "Xiaoya, how exactly do you want to do it? I'll do it with you!"

"No." Shu Xiaoya said firmly, "You are the key protection object, and you must stay with the star all the time. If he goes to the imperial capital, you have to go too. When will the matter of Tiandu Palace be settled, and when will you two be separated?

Mulan suddenly smiled and said, "If it can't be solved in a lifetime, some people will be happy."

"What do you mean?" He became a star and was stunned.

"Nerd!" Shu Xiaoya stared at him, and it felt a little confused to become a star.

Ma Xing smiled secretly while eating, and Cheng Xingxing also stared at him: "What about you! I know it's silly!" It's like finding a step for myself.

Ma Xing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

While chatting, suddenly Brother Wang ran in and shouted outside the door, "Brother Cheng, the general who saved us came and said he was looking for you!"

"Ah?" The star was stunned, "Single door owner? Why did he come here?"

"Let's pass by." The sound of the single tree came from outside the door. Second Brother Wang hurriedly opened the door. While drinking wine, the sound of the single tree walked into the room with a smile: "If you don't have to pass by here, how could you meet me at the beginning?"

Lin Jiangxian and an old man came into the house with him. As soon as Lin Jiang first saw Shu Xiaoya, his eyes were shining, and he ran over as if flying. He went up and took Shu Xiaoya's hand: "Xiaoya, I'm not at home. You've lost weight! Do you miss me?"

Shu Xiaoya smiled and said, "I worry too much. Can I not lose weight?" Besides, I'm used to the food you cook, and my mouth is tricky.

Lin Jiangxian immediately looked happy. Cheng Xingxing really couldn't figure out what to be happy about. Shu Xiaoya didn't say that she missed him. Lin Jiangxian is too easy to be satisfied.

As he thought, he looked at the old man who came with him and couldn't help wondering: Is this the master mentioned by the single door owner? Well, it feels quite similar to Hong Qigong in the novel...
