The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

The girl laughed softly, still sounding weak, but what she said was like a big bomb, and not many people knew this news.

Lord Lin has been keeping this matter secret, wanting to just pass it over, but the land tax is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. Could it be someone from the Ministry of Revenue?

His cloudy eyes narrowed dangerously, and he suddenly thought that this minor official seemed to be from the same place as Lan Wangshu. It was because Lan Wangshu offered crops and he also offered farm tools that he was given such a great honor and became an official who could attend the court.

What was that young man's name? A light bulb went off in Elder Lin's mind. Yes, he remembered.

"County Lady Guihua must have heard it from Lord Cang, but what he said may not be true. I have already made up for it."

Lan Wangshu's back stiffened. Oh no, how could she associate this with Cang Wenyuan? She had clearly heard Elder Lin say this himself.

"Really? Why did Elder Lin think of someone from our same village? It seems Elder Lin is still very concerned about our Cangnan Village."

"But... Speaking of which, Elder Lin is really disappointed. The source of the news was not Lord Cang, but Lord Li."

"Master Li, which Master Li?"

Lan Wangshu's words caught Elder Lin off guard, but he was not in a hurry. It was just that there were too many people with the surname Li in the court, and when the surname Li was suddenly mentioned, he couldn't think of who it could be.

"Li Bai, Lord Li, he and I are good friends. Lord Lin must know this."

Everyone then remembered that Li Bai was summoned into the palace to be an official by His Majesty when he was drunk. It seems that the rumors in the streets are true, and this Lady of Guihua County does have a close relationship with Li Bai.

Hua Qiming, who was sitting in the corner, frowned when he heard this. Lan Wangshu had gone to such great lengths to hide his identity, why did he now point out Li Bai? Wouldn't this expose him directly?

Lord Lin's face turned ugly. He didn't expect that Princess Guihua and Li Bai were old acquaintances.

He wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Lan Wangshu, but he was outmaneuvered by her instead.

Seeing this, Mo Yici had an idea in mind, intending to take this opportunity to change the topic.

"Since Lady Guihua is so generous, why don't Lord Lin not be polite and stop pretending to be rich? Ask for help when necessary. Not paying taxes is a big deal. If everyone is like Lord Lin, there will be no military funds for the front line."

"Young General, you are overthinking. There is still some time before we have to pay taxes. I will not embezzle."

Mo Yici shrugged indifferently. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either. If it was not exposed, it would be covered up. On a bigger scale, it was embezzlement of Dazhao's money and should be severely punished.

"Then it depends on what Elder Lin does. Since we are in trouble, it is not a shame to accept the help from Guihua County Lord."

Lan Wangshu nodded, indicating that she fully agreed. Of course, she would not refuse to slap Elder Lin in the face. The other party came with bad intentions first, and she was not someone to be trifled with.

So, she asked someone to bring some seeds and farm tools and delivered them directly to Elder Lin. Elder Lin's face turned green instantly, and he could only grit his teeth and thank her.

"Thank you so much, County Master Guihua."

"You're welcome. Everyone has their own specialty. This county lady doesn't have any special skills. I was born a peasant girl and am good at farming. Food is the first necessity of the people. It is the foundation. Taxation is the same. It is the foundation of a country. I hope that Elder Lin will be more active in the future."

Lan Wangshu's words had a somewhat didactic tone to them, but no one present thought there was anything wrong with it.

"What the county lady said makes sense. If everyone can think like the county lady, Dazhao will surely prosper."

Hua Qiming stood up directly and took Lan Wangshu's words to a higher level.

"Taxes determine whether Dazhao's treasury is rich or not. All these rules and regulations must be supported by money. It can be seen that taxation is very important to Dazhao. Only when the foundation is solid and the national strength is strong can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and you and I can have enough food and clothing and discuss state affairs together."

Lan Wangshu took the lead in applauding, and seeing Lan Wangshu doing this, others also joined in the fun. The Minister of Personnel had a rather ugly look on his face, and he was at a loss as to what to do. Now was the time for him to make a decision.

He already wanted to give up on Lord Lin. Although Lan Wangshu was a county princess, she had a good relationship with Lord Li. She herself had a good relationship with the young general, and Lord Li had a good relationship with Prime Minister Hua.

It can be said that this line, which is both civil and military, is indeed more worthy of investment.

The Minister of Personnel looked at his son twice and came up with a great idea. Isn't Lan Wangshu a breakthrough?
