It's unexpected that so many wild boars are needed at once, and they are still alive. I just don't know how many wild boar dens I have to dig before I can catch them all.

On the mountain, Xia Qingyu was accidentally forced onto the slope by wild boars, and she was lucky enough to catch thirty-three of them. She didn't know how many nests there were.

The puzzled people then heard Lu Liang's explanation and realized that the hunting ground above seemed to have caught fire in some places due to the hot weather, so they needed to replenish the prey.

"Well..." Li Yanfeng was about to say that there were more at home, but the second brother Li Yanchuan stopped him and signaled him not to worry.

Xia Qingyu and Mr. Li and his sons looked at each other, but did not speak immediately, because even if they drove all the wild boars in the house, there were only thirty-two, which was a few short of the required thirty-six.

Moreover, the timing is uncertain, which are all problems we face.

"Boss, you actually found it!" Those who rushed over were Hu Tieguo, Wang Zhusheng and others.

"Brothers, you can do it." The bearded man Hu Tieguo laughed and patted Li Yanfeng and his brothers on the shoulders. When he was about to pat Xia Qingyu, who was wearing a hat, on the shoulder, he was stopped by Li Yanxi.

He grinned, "Hey, brother, it's just a momentary excitement, don't mind it."

Wang Zhusheng led them to the government office of Muqiang Town and said, "Drive these eight wild boars here. I will give you thirty taels each, excluding other expenses, according to the price charged by the government office."

“Is this price…” Mr. Li opened his eyes wide. Is it a little too high? He really thought so.

In fact, when he knew that this matter would affect tax revenue, he knew its importance. Even if it was just like an ordinary domestic pig, he was willing to sell it to the government office to help others and himself.

"Grandpa, to be honest, we have already deducted the hunter tax of thirty-two percent that you need to pay from this price." Lu Liang thought they thought it was too cheap and didn't want to sell it, so he quickly explained.

Wang Zhusheng, who was beside him, also stepped forward to add his words.

"Yes, old man, in our Dongxia country, you also know that the fixed land tax paid by the court is 1 in 30, while hunters and fishermen are charged the same as land tax. They need to collect hunting tax and resource tax, and the tax they pay is relatively higher, which is 2 in 30."

"No, no, sir, you have misunderstood." Old Master Li waved his hands quickly.

When Lu Liang and the others were puzzled, Mr. Li touched his head and said with a simple smile, "Thank you, sir. We just think the price is a bit high."

Thirty taels per piece. I didn’t expect the price to be so much higher than the market price.

You have to know that Manager Dong gave thirty-two cents, and Manager Fu, who cheated himself, gave thirty-five. That was just the largest and most expensive one, which only sold for more than twenty-six taels of silver, and that was before paying taxes. The butcher shop charged thirty-one for other orders.

"Haha, Mr. Li, this is what you deserve." Lu Liang and several brothers were stunned, and then laughed. They didn't expect Mr. Li to say that.

Lu Liang likes dealing with people who don't cheat others and are honest with each other.

No wonder Manager Dong praised Mr. Li and his friends several times at the time. They were all ordinary people from the lower class and knew how difficult it was to be farmers.

After all, the common people can hardly make much money from farming, except that they can barely feed their families. If God is unhappy, the harvest will be even less, and life will be even harder.

However, Lu Liang knew that the price provided to the hunting grounds above would not be very low. It was just given to them by the government, and they did not take it against their conscience.

All of it was given to the hunters who caught wild boars. Of course, they also deducted the money from the money to hire doctors for those who were bitten by poisonous snakes.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough time. We have to send them over in the evening. Otherwise, we would like to ask you to catch more." Lu Liang sighed lightly.

Then, he solemnly bowed to Mr. Li and the others, "However, it is better to have it now than to have it at all. Thank you very much."

"Sir, are you sure it's tonight?" The second son Li Yanchuan grasped the important words, opened his eyes wide, and looked hurriedly at his father.

Seeing their father's stunned expression, they looked at Xia Qingyu again, but they didn't know whether their seventh brother's wife could continue to use her special abilities.

They didn't know the specific situation. If they sold these wild boars and went home, and then brought the other group from the pigpen at home, would Seventh Brother's wife be unable to bear it? Several people quietly went to see Xia Qingyu beside them.

Receiving their gazes, Xia Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that this was no problem. Her abilities had improved a lot last night, and she could continue to control these wild boars herself.

"Yes, we have to do it at the beginning of the evening at 10 p.m. If we can gather thirty, the county magistrate will give us an extra reward. After all, they need to be sent to the hunting grounds for the use of the superiors." As he spoke, Lu Liang walked closer to Mr. Li and spoke a few more words to him in a low voice.

Xia Qingyu, who was standing next to him, raised his head and glanced casually at the sun in the sky, then looked down at the length of the shadows under the feet of several people. Combined with the situation of the sun in the sky, he deduced that it was not yet noon.

The longer the shadow under people's feet, the earlier or later the time is. Generally speaking, shadows are longest in the morning and at sunset, and shortest at noon.

The beginning of the Xu hour mentioned by Lu Liang is around seven o'clock in the evening.

If it is twelve o'clock now, that means there are at least seven hours left, or three and a half hours.

It only takes one hour to go from Muqiang Town to Shangxing Village by ox cart.

Probably knowing what she was thinking, Xia Qingyu saw Li Yanxi lower her head and whispered in her ear, telling her that it was early noon, which was shortly after eleven o'clock.

Even if they go into the mountains at other times, if they are lucky, they can catch the wild boars that Lu Liang and his team need, and they should be able to get the whole team.

Mr. Li received the gaze of his son and daughter-in-law and knew what they wanted to say. He did not hide it any more and told the truth, "Master Lu, you are too polite. To be honest, we can also provide 23 live wild boars."

"Wait, Mr. Li, what...what did you just say?" Lu Liang froze in place and asked in disbelief.

Now, Lu Liang also felt that he was hallucinating. He tilted his head and put his ear towards Mr. Li.

The light in front of his eyes dimmed, and suddenly a head appeared in front of him. Mr. Li quickly took a step back, thinking, this guy is so young, why does he seem a little hard of hearing?

After Mr. Li repeated what he had just said, Lu Liang turned around stiffly and looked at the two burly men who were also standing there in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Qingyu and the others saw Lu Liang raising his hands to pinch the faces of the two strong men, Hu Tieguo and Wang Zhusheng.

While pinching, he asked stupidly, "Does it hurt?"

"Hiss... Boss, it hurts, don't, don't pinch my face." Wang Zhusheng grimaced in pain and raised his hand to pinch his boss's arm.

"What are they doing? Hurting each other?"
