Chapter 91 The Thief Comes in the Midnight

Most of the people around Zhang Tianfeng were strong men. These people were hunting with Jiang Anyong on weekdays and were used to drinking and having fun. They were not willing to work hard to farm. Zhang Tianfeng was cunning and tricky, so they asked him to give him some ideas.

Zhang Tianfeng rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I guess everyone can't stay there anymore. No matter what, I'll get the severance money first. After I get the money, everyone went to Baiweizhai, the county town to discuss together. There are too many people here and it's hard to talk."

Inside the house, Jiang Huang carefully put the cotton coat on Jiang Anyi, for fear of touching the wound. The two uncles complained to Jiang Anyong on the side. Jiang Anyong was regretful and ashamed, and said dejectedly: "In the future, I will listen to my brother, study hard, and stop running around."

When Jiang Anyi saw An Yong's frowning face, he obviously said against his will. He felt soft and said softly: "I am not forcing you to study, but reading only allows you to understand the principles of being a human being and distinguish right from wrong."

The two uncles were more concerned about returning the fields that others had invested in Jiang Anyi's name. Jiang Anyi won the top scorer, and the fields under his name could be exempted from taxes. Many people wanted to give their own fields to the Jiang family for free to evade taxes in this way.

Jiang Huang is a wife family, and not many people look for her. Most of them find her in front of the three brothers of Huang. Sometimes the three brothers get benefits and sometimes they can’t hide their face, so they find Jiang Huang, and Jiang Huang all agree. After a while, in addition to the 700 acres of land they actually own, the Jiang family has also produced nearly a thousand acres of empty land.

The land tax in Dazheng is one mu, one dou and two liters, which is about fifteen cents. Men aged fifteen to fifteen are taxed for each year. Each person is 20 cents a year. They can be 10 cents a day for corvee service for 20 days. Those who serve in the military can be exempted from taxes. Taking the eight people of ordinary families as an example, they need to pay 300 cents a year, and three adult men need to pay 60 cents a year. If the corvee service is converted into 60 cents a year, the two people have to pay 60 cents a year. If the labor service is converted into 60 cents a year, the four family will need to pay nearly 1,000 cents a day, which is a considerable amount for most families.

Some people have always placed their own land in the name of officials and gentry, and symbolically paid some money and grain to the master. In this way, the master's family not only did favors but also invisibly made more income, which made a large amount of money and a considerable amount. The other party exempted agricultural tax and more income, and only the country suffered losses. The country did even more extreme things, and not only evaded the land tax, but also evaded the tax and labor service in the master's name, and could also serve the master's family to save some supplies.

The scholars can exempt land tax of 20 acres and two people from labor service. If they pass the imperial examination, they can exempt all land tax under their name. As more and more people pass the imperial examination every three years, more and more fields are placed under their name, and the country's tax will become less and less. The emperor is determined to clear the land again, which means that the gray land is found, repaid taxes, re-levy taxes, and enrich the national treasury.

This time, Jiang Anyi wanted to assist Yu Shiqing in Renzhou. Unexpectedly, the first person to occupy the land was his own family. The matter involved his family, Jiang Anyi patiently said the things that everyone could understand in the court to seek the land in Qing Dynasty. His uncle changed his face. Jiang Anyi passed the exam last year, and he and his two younger brothers placed the land in the name of his nephew. The agricultural tax this year was not paid.

"Uncle, don't worry, it's okay for your land to be in my name, but other people's fields may not be in their name anymore." Jiang Anyi comforted him by knowing that his uncle was afraid of losing money. The two uncles looked normal. As long as there was no loss in their own family, others could not take care of so much. They could not help others ignore their nephews.

Uncle Wang walked in and reported, "Uncle, all the people who want to leave have been distributed. Should they be severing the next expense?"

Jiang Anyi struggled to get up, and Jiang Huang quickly pressed him down and said, "I'll do this, Yong'er, come with me to get the money, you are by your side."

Jiang Anyi was relieved to protect her mother with Fang Zhizhong. The wound on her back hurts so much that it hurts. Jiang Anyi really didn't want to move too much. Yan'er didn't leave, and sat next to her and spoke quietly with her brother.

It is easy to do things if you have money. One tael of silver per person is not a small amount for ordinary people. Everyone took the money and thanked him for packing things and leaving. It was a little troublesome to send the land certificate. He had to go to the government office to go through the procedures. Uncle Wang made an appointment with them to change it tomorrow morning.

Zhang Tianfeng received five taels of silver and greedily glanced at the wooden box beside Jiang Huang. When he opened the lid, there was a silver light inside, and at least three or four hundred taels of silver appeared. After leaving the door, the men did not leave and went together to Baiweizhai, the county town.

When the wine and food were served, after a few cups of wine, someone shouted, "The Jiang family is really unkind and righteous. They killed the donkey and sent us a tael of silver. Brother Zhang, what do you think we will do in the future?"

Most of these people are green skin everywhere, the master of fighting and extortion. Zhang Tianfeng raised his head and poured a glass of wine, and thrust the wine glass heavily, saying, "If the Jiang family is not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. Brothers, let's go to the Jiang family to do a vote tonight."

It is a serious crime to rob a family. You will be sentenced to at least a few years in prison and exiled to a remote place. Seeing someone showing timidity, Zhang Tianfeng said viciously: "Man is dead for money, everyone has seen the money of the Jiang family. There are hundreds of taels of silver in the box alone, and the Huang family also has a lot of money. After doing this, we will share the money and go to other places to have fun."

These people are all bachelors. Zhang Tianfeng was so proud that they were told, but there were also timid people, saying, "The person surnamed Jiang is not easy to mess with, Fang Da is also a good guy. Even Jiang Anyong has few people who can't let him go. Can we do it?"

"I'm afraid of a bird," Zhang Tianfeng's friend Li Tong: "We are very familiar with the situation of the Jiang family. Today, the Jiang family dismissed everyone and left no one. We painted our faces at night, rushed in, and took them away. When the Jiang family reported it, we would have gone far. Even if the government knew that it was ours, what could it be?"

Li Tong's words caused a response. The more people talked, the more they became more courageous, and they discussed how to do it.

During dinner at night, Jiang Anyi felt that the wound on his back began to itch. Fang Zhizhong looked at it and said, "The wound is starting to scab, it's strange. Why did your wound heal so quickly? I remember that I was injured last time and it started scab three days later." Jiang Anyi knew in his mind that he used his own skills at noon. After the Yuanxuan Heart Method absorbed spiritual energy, the wound healed very quickly.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Fang Zhizhong became more burly. He reached out to tear the fat chicken. In a moment, a chicken entered the stomach. Seeing Fang Zhizhong Jiang Anyi thought of Wei Mengqiang. Fang Zhizhong competed with him. In terms of strength, Fang Zhizhong might be better. Fang Zhizhong's father was Wu Qiwei, and he was also considered a descendant of the general. If he stayed in this small mountain village, it would be a pity. He might as well take him there. Maybe Zhizhong could make achievements and become a member of the Chongguang Sect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Brother Fang, I will go to Renzhou to take office in July. Wei Zongjun from the Anyang Palace owes me a favor. I recommend you to join the army under him. Are you willing?"

"Really", Fang Zhi re-placed the wine pot in his hand and said in surprise: "An Yi, I've been so dull."

He looked at Jiang Huang carefully, and Fang Zhizhong said softly: "Godmother, I'm not saying it's boring to stay by your side, but I don't know what to do all day long. Besides practicing martial arts, I can't help either."

Jiang Huang smiled and said, "Zhong'er, why are you polite, we mother? Your child is so real."

"Brother, I want to go with you too." Jiang Anyong shouted and said, "I am the same as Brother Zhizhong. I am so bored that I ride horses and play around."

Jiang Anyi was a little hesitant. An Yong gradually grew up. He caused trouble all day long when he was not by his side. If he could be with him, he would naturally become a talented person with his ears and eyes. However, An Yong left too, wouldn't his mother be too lonely?

"I want to go too, I want to go with my brother. Mom, can we all go to Renzhou with my brother?" Yan'er also came to join in the fun, shaking Jiang Huang's arm and acting coquettish.

Jiang Huang saw Jiang Anyi's hesitation and smiled and said, "Yi'er, take Yong'er with you too. Yong'er is old and her mother has never studied. She doesn't know how to discipline him and let him follow you. Mom is relieved. With Yan'er at home, your uncle lives next to you. You don't have to worry, just come home often when you have time."

As he said that, Jiang Huang started to wipe his tears again. Yan'er was very unhappy and cried and said, "I want to go too, I'm not interested."

Jiang Anyi hurriedly patted Yan'er's head and smiled and advised: "Be good Yan'er, you are still young. My brother is going outside to do things, not to play. My second brother is old, so I can help my brother do something. What do you think you can do? You are obedient to respect my mother for me and my second brother. When my brother settles down, I will definitely pick you up and live with you, okay?"

Yan'er tilted her head and thought for a while before nodding in grievance.

On the second day of the second day, a group of black shadows came outside the Jiang Mansion. The black shadows did not walk through the gate, and they familiarly came to a courtyard wall. They set up a ladder and climbed into the wall. After a while, the corner door next to them was opened and the black shadow rushed in.

Jiang Anyi sat cross-legged on the bed to practice exercises. It was a routine to practice the mental method every night. When exercising the exercises, the movements of hundreds of meters in a radius were all heard, and the noise at the courtyard wall naturally could not escape his ears. Jiang Anyi stood up and pushed open the door of Jiang Anyong's room next door. Jiang Anyong was startled and saw that it was his brother, and asked in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Here's a thief." Jiang Anyi said, and the door next to him opened. Fang Zhizhong appeared at the door, and he also heard the movement. Jiang Anyi ordered: "Brother Fang, you and An Yong go to the backyard, don't let your mother and Yan'er be frightened, I'm here." Jiang Anyi ordered.

Both Fang Zhizhong and Jiang Anyong knew that Jiang Anyi was very good. It was not the time to talk too much. Fang Zhizhong took out his usual iron stick from behind the door, carried it on his shoulder, and followed Jiang Anyong to the backyard.

Jiang Anyi carried his hands behind his back and headed towards the sound. He knew in his mind that this group of thieves were probably the guard guard who was dismissed during the day, the guard guard during the day, and became a robber at night. He wanted to let these people know that the Jiang family was not easy to mess with.
