Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

After receiving the imperial edict, everyone got up. County Magistrate Chen glanced at Eunuch Gui with a smile. He didn't dare to speak up until Eunuch Gui nodded and said: "Everyone, there is another good news. I will also accept it." In line with His Majesty’s decree, Gutong Village, as a new grain producing area, can be exempted from taxes for two years.”

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded.

"How much? Two years?"

"Oh my gosh, are we really going to be free of taxes for two years?"

Seeing this lively situation, the village chief was afraid that they would collide with the noble man, so he immediately stopped him and made everyone quiet down. Then he respectfully saluted several people and asked, "Noble man, Mr. Chen, we, are we really Can you be exempted from taxes for two years?"

County Magistrate Chen smiled and nodded: "Then His Majesty's decree can still be false. The official document will be issued later, so you can just wait."

The village chief was very excited. Two years and two years of taxes were enough to change the fate of their Gutong Village.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." The village chief knelt down and began to kowtow.

Seeing this, the villagers also knelt down, and for a moment the voice of thanking the emperor for his grace rang through the sky above Gutong Village.

Eunuch Gui looked at all this with satisfaction and decided to report it to His Majesty after he returned.

After the village chief and others finished kowtowing, Eunuch Gui said, "Get up, everyone. We will definitely convey your awe to His Majesty when we return."

"More noble people." The village chief led everyone to take a bite again, which was said to be sincere.

However, what he was most grateful for was the Wen family. All this was brought to them by the Wen family and Wen Xiuyi.

Luo Shi saw that everyone was standing still after Eunuch Gui finished speaking, and quickly poked Wen Xiuyi in the waist.

Wen Xiu understood it easily, clasped his fists and said: "Eunuch, Mr. Chen, and all the lords have also worked hard. The student's family has prepared some simple meals. Please don't dislike it and move to the table."

Eunuch Gui smiled: "Master Wen, you can call yourself a lower official now."

County Magistrate Chen also clasped his fists: "Yes, Mr. Wen, you are on the same level as me now, so there is no need to be so polite."

Wen Xiuyi smiled awkwardly, as he hadn't changed back from his role yet.

"Eunuch Gui, Mr. Chen, please."

"Please."

Wen Xiuyi led the two of them towards Wen's new courtyard. Chef Chen and the others were already ready. The village chief followed eagerly, and the villagers behind him even took the initiative to ask for help.

They were all replied by Luo Shi: "Okay, it's not enough to cause trouble. The family has already prepared it. Go and help. Do you know how to help? Don't turn around and offend the nobles. We can't protect you. Go home quickly." What should I do, what should I do, no more work in the fields?"

When everyone thought about it, it was really like this. If they made any mistake and offended these adults from the capital, they would really be left with nothing to eat.

All the people dispersed, and only the village chief stayed. When Old Man Wen saw this, he also kept his younger brother.

Mr. Wen was extremely nervous now. His legs were shaking when he saw these high-ranking officials, and he wanted them to follow him to eat. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat.

But Old Man Wen wouldn't let him back down.

"You are Xiu Yi's second uncle. This is a big deal for our Wen family. Why are you running? Follow me and don't be timid." After Old Man Wen finished speaking, he led Wen Erye with his hands behind his back and followed him.

Second Master Wen hunched his back and followed behind him, peeking in front of him from time to time. It turned out that this was an official from the capital.

When we arrived at the new house, the door opened and the tables, chairs and benches in the yard had already been set up. Chef Chen and the guys from Zuixianlou were busy and busy.

Wen Xiuyi said to Eunuch Gui and Master Chen: "Eunuch Gui, Master Chen, this is my parents' yard. Let the others rest here for a while. You two, please follow me to my home."

The two of them had no objections. Eunuch Gui ordered the others to rest and eat here and followed Wen Xiuyi.

Old Man Wen left his other two sons here to entertain him, but the two of them couldn't even talk to each other. In the end, Xunfeng came to the rescue.

"Old Master, you can go ahead. I will accompany the second and third masters here to greet you."

Old man Wen was relieved that the patrol was here.

Wen Xiuyi led Eunuch Gui and County Magistrate Chen into the door of his house. As soon as he came back, Wen Yao changed his clothes and went into the kitchen. Luo Shi, Aunt Shi and others were helping in the kitchen, and Wen Xiuyi was responsible for entertaining them.

After sitting down, Eunuch Gui said: "Master Wen, before coming here, Prince Fu specifically told our family that when we get here, we must say hello to Master Wen and the old man and his wife."

Wen Xiuyi smiled and nodded: "The prince is worried about this."

"Come here." Eunuch Gui called out, and immediately a young eunuch ran in to wait for instructions. He only heard Eunuch Gui say: "Take the people to the carriage and move the things that Prince Fu asked our family to bring." come on."

"Yes."

The little eunuch turned around and ran away, and then Eunuch Gui said: "Before departure, Prince Fu asked our family to bring some things to Master Wen. He said that he could not come to congratulate Master Wen in person, so he asked our family to hand over the gifts on his behalf."

Wen Xiuyi was moved in his heart, this Li Fu is really interesting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Eunuch." Wen Xiuyi expressed his official thanks again.

Soon, the little eunuch brought many large and small boxes into the yard. Eunuch Gui led Wen Xiuyi over and opened the boxes in the yard.

Inside there were all the four treasures of the study: silk, satin, gold, silver, and jewelry. Mr. Chen was envious and the village chief's eyes widened.

Second Master Wen, who was standing with Old Man Wen, almost lost his footing. Fortunately, Old Man Wen lifted him up.

"This is the gift list. Mr. Wen, please check it. Otherwise, if there is something missing, it will be difficult for our family to explain it to the prince when we return." Eunuch Gui handed a gift list to Wen Xiuyi.

Wen Xiuyi took it, and it was impossible to count it at this time. He immediately put the gift list away and said: "What are you talking about, father-in-law? No need to order, no need to order. Everyone, please help me move the things to the warehouse." Come on, work hard."

Wen Xiuyi quickly asked people to move the things away. With so many valuable things placed in the yard, he felt panicked.

Several people went back to the house to sit and drink tea and chat while Wen Yao prepared. Eunuch Gui also did his duty and asked many questions about corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. These were all to be written down and reported back to His Majesty.

Wen Xiuyi chatted with him for a while before he thought about the tax exemption.

Qiu Rongrong has a lot of crops on her farm. She takes such good care of her girl, is there anything she can do?

After thinking for a while, Wen Xiuyi decided to ask directly. After all, he was a farmer. If he annoyed the other party, the worst he could do was to fool him by saying that country people don't understand so much.

"What about that? Eunuch Gui, Mr. Chen, I have something to ask you. If other places are cultivating these three new grains with us, can they also be exempted from taxes? Or is it just our Gutong Village? ?”
