Chapter 5 005. Exorbitant taxes
Chapter 5 005. Donate bad taxes
"Where is ambition, there is no distance, and the mountains are poor and the sea cannot be limited."
"That means that people must set their ambitions and have lofty ambitions, and they must achieve them even if they are separated by endlessly."
In the evening, at the desk in the north room, Ren Pingsheng was answering questions to the twelve-year-old Xiaowan.
Xiaowan is young, but has a lot of experience, and is more mature than children of this age.
She cherishes her current life very much and lets her study more in her life, so she can learn to read carefully and study hard.
"Master, what is your ambition?"
Xiaowan asked curiously.
Let Pingsheng shake his head.
A peaceful life is broken by the right hand of gold obtained by chance. On the earth cannot leave its residence for a radius of one kilometer. In this strange world, Ren Pingsheng only knows more about one fur and does not even have an exact goal. Where can he set ambition?
"Where are you? Xiaowan, do you have any ambitions?"
Ren Pingsheng asked.
Almost without aiming, the arrow shot out "swoosh" and hit the head of the human-shaped grass handle.
The village chief shook his head indifferently.
Ren Pingsheng raised his mouth and reached out to touch Xiaowan's little head.
Ren Pingsheng handed the bow in his hand to the village chief.
The drizzle drizzled until the night, and the temperature was getting lower, and I was afraid that it would freeze in a few days.
"If you like it, I will give you a handful if you have the chance in the future."
It is too difficult to catch strong men in normal times.
Young Master Ren carried his bow and arrow and went out toward the village martial arts performance venue.
Xiaowan has already put away the herbs dried in the yard.
Xiaowan is obedient.
Under the eaves of the rain, Xiaowan was reading a book while peeking at Ren Pingsheng holding two dumbbells for strength training; Ren Pingsheng was doing strength training while reading a small bowl of books, occasionally looking at each other and smiling.
When Ren Pingsheng arrived, more than a dozen young people were competing with Shisuo.
The village chief just shot a few arrows and returned the bow to Ren Pingsheng.
The martial arts field is located on the east side of the village Cross Road. It is said to be a martial arts field, but it is actually a relatively flat open space.
Let Pingsheng shake his head.
At this time, it started to rain in the sky, with snow mixed with light rain.
"When the weather is cold, more refugees outside die, and the living zombies are probably going to be disaster again."
It was a little bit off. Ren Pingsheng was ejaculated at Caobazi's head.
"village head."
Eggs, flower rolls, and Hu La soup, soy milk was ground.
While farming in our Liujia Village, we also have to go hunting in the mountains often to live a life of barely."
"This bow is very useful and has a heavy force, which is much better than the bow I did when I joined the army!"
Ren Pingsheng also put an outdoor power supply and electric mattress in Xiaowan's house.
After arguing the time, he said goodbye to the village chief and the militia, and Ren Pingsheng braved the light rain and returned to his yard.
"Um."
After all, the village chief has been a soldier, has worked so hard, has seen the world, and is capable. Under his leadership, Liujia Village is a better village in the entire Qingcheng Town, but most of the villagers still cannot fill their stomachs and do not cover their clothes.
The girl developed early. Xiaowan, who is already twelve years old, is less than 1.4 meters tall. If she doesn't run around, she will probably be less than 1.5 meters away.
The village chief came over and looked at the bow in Ren Pingsheng's hand with jealous eyes.
Xiaowan returned to her room and went to bed in a depressed mood.
Ren Pingsheng had long wanted to go to the town for investigation, so he agreed immediately.
The village chief likes it very much.
"Young Master, the weather is cold now, I'll warm your bed."
It’s almost the beginning of winter, and it’s the slack season. In the next two days, there will be less prey in the mountains, and then the villagers will be even more idle.
Ren Pingsheng nodded with a smile, put on his cowhide finger protection, stood sideways, bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the grass handle ten meters away, and let go of his two fingers.
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the refugees he met on the road before.
The weather was a little gloomy the next day. When Ren Pingsheng got up, it was almost nine o'clock. Xiaowan pinched the time when he got up and prepared meal for him.
I hate electric mattresses!
Ren Pingsheng also fell asleep in the warm electric mattress.
"This court also collects the demon-suppressing salary. Is there really a demon in this world?"
"Need not."
"Mr. Little Ren, are you here to practice arrows?"
"Drink more milk and get bigger after drinking."
Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.
Ren Pingsheng pushed a box of milk in front of Xiaowan.
This 75-pound slide bow is not only heavy in strength, but also very good at shaking hands in the wooden hand. The black slide bow is also covered with silver cloud patterns, which is very beautiful.
Ren Pingsheng shot five times in a row. When he persisted until the sixth arrow, his arm trembled and left the target, and shot into a piece of earth wall behind, without any arrow feathers.
"Haha, I, old man, should I forget it. Such a good bow is harder to make than a musket, so it would be wasted if I put it in my hands."
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to go to the town before? It happened to be Qingcheng Daji tomorrow. Now it's cold, and the village plans to sell some skinny things."
There are even poorer households who have no clothes to wear, so they can only wear clothes when they have something to do. If they have nothing to do, they will lie down at home to maintain their strength and save food.
"oh."
"Good bow!"
Ren Pingsheng saw that the village chief who had a lame leg was teaching two teenage boys standing in a stance, so he greeted him.
“Yes, these heavy taxes make people unable to survive.
Xiaowan said seriously.
"good!"
After dinner, Xiaowan cleaned up the dishes.
Qingcheng Town was once a major commercial town connecting the north and south because it was leaning against Qingshui River, with cars, ships and horses, and peddlers. Now, although with the sharp decrease in commercial activities, it has long disappeared from its previous liveliness, but its horses are thin and long, and it is still the best town in Qingshui County.
Everyone ran to the door hole under the adobe city wall not far away to shelter from the rain.
“I have electric mattresses.”
"The village chief gave it a try?"
Let Pingsheng shake his head.
Xiaowan didn't understand: "But I heard that other maids have to warm the bed for the young master."
The village chief said again.
Ren Pingsheng threw the problem back.
The village chief looked up at the rain and snow falling from the sky, his face feeling sad.
"Um."
The word "sir" was exchanged for Ren Pingsheng's medical skills in the past two months of his life.
"A harsh government is more powerful than a tiger."
The village chief took the glass blade with great enthusiasm, gently stroked the bow, and then pulled out an arrow from his feet without caring about standing posture. He was very familiar with the bow and shooting arrows and shot them out.
"What is the ambition of the young master? My ambition is to follow the direction of the young master."
In such an environment, Ren never dared to eat and drink openly in his life, and would have to close the door every time he ate, so as to avoid being jealous of the villagers.
"call out!"
Xiaowan looked at Ren Pingsheng expectantly and said.
Especially in recent years, in addition to the land tax, there are also head taxes, corpse suppression, monster suppression, donation, and military training. Our county magistrate has also come up with car donations, cattle donations, and charitable donations. In addition to taxes, there are also corrupt officials and cruel officials exploiting them layer by layer.
"I have never seen the incident of catching up on the wind and shadows before. I'm afraid it's just an excuse from the court."
When the village chief saw that it was Ren Pingsheng, he smiled and greeted him.
The arrow had hit Caobazi's chest.
An outdoor power supply is fully charged and stored 1.5 kWh of electricity, and is also equipped with a folding solar panel. There is no problem in supplying electricity to the electric mattress in winter.
Before, just buying two outdoor portable power supplies, it cost Ren Pingsheng more than 10,000 yuan.
At night, the north wind outside the window blew and hit the courtyard. Xiaowan was lying in the warm quilt, and she couldn't help but smile.
The electric mattress is so good!
He was speechless all night. The next day, Ren Pingsheng got up abnormally early, carried a mountaineering bag, and under Xiaowan's eyes, he met with several militiamen in the village.
