Qin people were straightforward and straightforward. Most of the tenants who received the news at night rushed to the main house to thank their owners, and many of the families with children came with chickens.

Ling Qingyu laughed back so much that her face was numb. Moved by the enthusiasm of the local people, she insisted on holding on until the last family left.

Returning to the main house, Ling Qingyu slowly turned over the account books, thinking that if the tax increase goes on like this, he can't carry so many fields in his family.

"In charge." Han Liang shouted twice. Seeing that she was still wandering in the sky, she raised her voice and shouted again.

"Ah?" Ling Qingyu came back to his senses, smiled shyly and said, "just now I was distracted. Where did you say?"

"What do you think?" Han Liang asked.

"I'm thinking that it's not a matter to carry so many fields so hard. Since the imperial court begins to increase taxes, it's like tasting sweetness. It will only get heavier and heavier. We'll have to pay for our family when we carry them to the back." Lingqingyu said.

Han Liang nodded and silently said, "why don't we find someone to attach to?" Depending on scholars or families with Honours can exempt most of the taxes.

Ling Qingyu shook his head slightly and said, "our amount is too large. Many of them are connected together. I'm afraid no one dares to answer."

"In charge of the family, General Yang's military subordinates all have official positions, which are also included in the tax exemption tax as a rule." Han Liang said.

"The fields on Hedong road can be hung under their names, but Huai'an Wuhu, Hangzhou, Suzhou and here are not easy to hang." Ling Qingyu shook his head and said, "and I'm not only worried about this. Generally speaking, once the imperial court starts to increase taxes on a large scale, it's not only right, but also afraid that the commercial tax will be increased."

"The business tax has been increased, but we are all in the middle of income, with some reductions and exemptions, and the tax collectors on the road have also bought it. After calculation, it has increased by 10% Han Liang nodded.

"Now we have sinned against the Wang family. I'm afraid it's not so easy to go in the future. We need to open another business to specialize in this piece. In addition, we have a large amount of spices this time, so we should be careful." Lingqingyu said. Those commodities have a large profit margin, plus 10% is not a problem, just afraid that this will become a bottomless pit at that time. Hum, when the time comes, the wool will come from the sheep. Anyway, only the upper class can afford those spices and precious goods. I'll raise the price!

Seeing Ling Qingyu rubbing his forehead, Han Liang said, "take a rest first. This kind of thing can't come for a while."

"Well, you've been tired all day. Good night." Ling Qingyu nodded. Yes, these things can't be rushed for a while. There is always a way to solve them.

On the third day, Ling Qingyu and Han Liang were looking at the frozen soil between the ridges of the fields. The rapid sound of horses' hoofs sounded, raising a piece of dust from the official road in the distance.

Ling Qingyu and Han Leng unconsciously stood up and looked at each other. Yan San and Ying shisan were on full alert. From the sound of horses' hoofs, there were a lot of people, but they were neat and uniform. This was a team of well-trained people. Why did they come to this rural place?

The speed of the horse team was very fast, as if it had run close in the blink of an eye. The first two horses were strangled high and raised their front hooves in a galloping state. After the hooves fell to the ground, he Li's bright voice called, "the master."

Another person is also an acquaintance, Gao Liu!

"It's good to be in charge." Gao Liu smiled softly.

"What are you doing here?" Ling Qingyu asked foolishly, are you a serving soldier? Is this an absence without leave?

"The general gave us some holidays. He won some rewards in previous wars and wanted to buy some fields." Gao Liu laughed.

Ling Qingyu and Han Liang looked at each other, and Han Liang whispered, "the field here was not bought under the name of Ling family."

So they won't be implicated? Ling Qingyu's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "just in time, I happen to have some fields to sell here. I wonder if the two adults are interested?"

"We don't have much time. Can Mr. Han run with us with the above book?" He Li asked, lying on the saddle.

"I'll go back and get it now. Wait." Han Liang lifted up his robe and ran towards the village.

Ling Qingyu beckoned the two to dismount, then ran to the side of the just extinguished fire and planed, planed out two baked sweet potatoes, and handed them to the two people: "taste it."

"In this cold weather, the head of the household came here to roast sweet potatoes?" Gao Liu took it and laughed.

"Not at all. Look at the stratum. Why did you come here at this time?" Lingqingyu asked.

"When we went back, the county magistrate took the official document of tax increase and showed it to the general. The land on Hedong road was originally under the general's name, which belongs to the scope of tax exemption, so the general said that we should come and touch you. Gao Liu and I also have official positions, which can be exempted more or less." He Li got close to Ling Qingyu and whispered, "if it's not enough, I've brought some small schools. Although it's eight grades and nine grades, some can be avoided."

"I've offended the Wang and Zhao families this time. Won't I cause you trouble?" Ling Qingyu also leaned over and whispered.

"Are they bothering you again?" He Li asked with a cold look in his eyes.

"Cut, several dead men want my life. They think beautifully! They are completely destroyed by Yan San!" Ling Qingyu said proudly, and then whispered, "don't tell Yang Zhao about this, do you know?"

He Li took a deep look at her and said, "the general will know without saying."

"You didn't hear anything anyway!" Ling Qingyu stared and said, the problem of quick mouth really wants to get rid of!

"That sweet potato is not enough to buy us off." Gao Liu smiled leisurely.

Ling Qingyu turned and went to the fire to dig a sweet potato out and handed it to him: "double it for you, no more! You can't be too black hearted!"

"We'll take you to Yinzhou first." He Li whispered.

"No, you didn't have much time to come out, and my carriage couldn't walk fast. They couldn't find our trace when we left Bianjing. It doesn't matter." Ling Qingyu shook his head. All of them are in civilian clothes, and they are dusty. At first glance, they are rushing here nonstop. If they travel around Yinzhou, they don't know how much time it will take.

He Li pursed his lips and stopped making a sound, knowing in his heart that she was right, so the sultry air had nowhere to go.

Han Liang hurried back and said, "OK, let's go and get back quickly."

In the evening, Han Liang came back alone, saying that after finishing the paperwork, their team only ate in the county and left.

"All the people they come here have official positions, and the number of fields is enough. The problem here is solved." Seeing Ling Qingyu's look somewhat Wan, Han Liang said, "they are also afraid of being seen gossiping, which is bad for you."

"I know, I just feel very oppressed," Ling Qingyu knocked down the table and said, "are we breaking the law or killing people? Why are we so hiding You can't have a meal together!

"Han Liang," took a deep breath, Ling Qingyu let his anger slow down, and said, "this country is about to rot. if any dynasty makes people live in fear, it is not far from destruction."

"The situation is not good now, but the control of the imperial court is still very strong. Otherwise, we don't need to do these things. Those who are in charge won't be so fast." Stunned for a moment, Han Liang said.

"The tax increases, making the people miserable, and then there are local rebellions. Now there are foreign enemies watching. Why not call it rotten?" Ling Qingyu sneered.

"Because of Cheng Xiang and Qingliu, all the official systems above the local government are working normally and even efficiently. Dazhou has been prosperous for decades, and the accumulated wealth is very considerable. These can not be destroyed at once, and the foreign enemies, not to mention Zhao Jiajun, also have general Yang." Han Liang said that he had never seen Ling Qingyu like this. She was always confident that nothing could be difficult for her. Now, it was like being disappointed in everything, which made him very surprised.

"In other words, can it last for decades?" Lingqingyu said.

"At least it won't be disordered immediately. It just depends on how the court plays games behind. If Cheng Xiang and Qingliu can suppress these, then long-term stability can be achieved. If they can't suppress them, it's really hard to say." Han Liang smiled bitterly and said.

Ling Qingyu stared at Han Liang for a moment and said, "brother Han, your pressure resistance is much stronger than me." During this period of time, continuous things have accumulated in my heart little by little. Everything is not going well. I was framed and rumored to be chased. As a result, it broke out today. In this way, it seems that Han Liang and these Aborigines have strong psychological endurance.

"Wrong. If you say you are strong, no one is better than being in charge." Han Liang laughed. Because you are the one who bears the brunt. You are the one who was rumored and the one who was assassinated. It is up to you to make the final decision on how to go at the helm of the Ling family. We are nothing more than the executors. If I were you, I would have smashed the table long ago.

"Also, I'm a cockroach who can't fight to death! Dare to block my way, God blocks killing God, and Buddha blocks killing Buddha! Han Liang, tomorrow we'll set out for Yinzhou, and I'll learn to ride a horse!" Ling Qingyu smashed the bowl on the table with great momentum and shouted loudly.

Out of the Guanzhong Plain, you enter the Loess Plateau, and the scenery on both sides is completely different.

After that high fever, Ling Qingyu's body miraculously recovered. She was no longer afraid of cold, but sometimes she coughed. Yan San didn't hold her anymore, and took her to the driver's seat to see the scenery from time to time.

Out of Yanzhou, the road is difficult to walk, and it is even harder to see pedestrians on the road.

All the way was yellow and gray. Ling Qingyu yawned and said, "how far is it?"

Han Liang drove his horse to the side and said mysteriously, "I'll know later."

Before he said anything, the road ahead was like a sandstorm turning around, raising huge dust.

Seeing Han Liang's face with a smile, Yan San also relaxed.

Only Ling Qingyu can't close her mouth after eating the full mouth of wind and sand.

It was not the horse team that ran ahead. It was hundreds of thousands of war horses galloping together.
