The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

The three of them felt that this matter had to be discussed with Lao Yan.

After hearing what his younger brother said, Yan Huaiwen immediately said: "Find a few people, and then go find out the situation. It's best to enter the town."

Yan Lao Er nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by his brother: "God Bless, be careful, if the situation is not good, come back quickly."

Li Xuemei clenched her hands on the side.

Yan Yu went to find those friends who were carrying chickens with strings.

The food of each family was not willing to give the chickens to eat, so they let them out to find food for themselves. A long rope was tied to the feet for the children to lead, so as not to let them out and find it.

Yan Huaiwen convened the village elders to discuss matters.

Yan Xiangheng and several boys in the village were sent out to find someone.

Fortunately, everyone knew that they couldn't go far, so they wandered around picking firewood and weeding weeds, and they all came back after a while.

Yan Lao Er found Qi Si, Qi Wu and San Tie.

The Qi family brothers are physically strong, and he feels safe when he takes them out, and he is smart and smart.

Why not call it Qi Da?

You have to leave a man to take care of the family.

A group of people walked fast, which was all exercised during this period of time.

After about an hour's journey, I saw the town that Yan Laoer was talking about from a distance.

It was Shen time now, and even though the hottest part of the day had passed, it was still sweltering and unbearably hot.

Yan Lao Er found that fewer people entered the town, but more people left the town.

Just as they thought, these people were in a hurry, their faces were sad, and a large family was driving or pushing a cart, all carrying their burdens, all heading in one direction.

The four of them stared at it for a while, and seeing that the yamen servant really didn't care, they boldly went over and followed the people who entered the town with all their heart, and sneaked in.

Entering the town, the four of them were even more frightened.

Most of the shops on the street were closed.

The grain store crowded with many people was going up. The clerk closed the door and shouted impatiently: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I said there is no food, no food, why can't you understand me?"

Someone begged outside: "Shopkeeper, storekeeper, please, please sell me some food, my family is waiting for this stutter!"

"I am willing to pay a high price and buy at a high price."

"I am willing too, don't close the door, don't close the door! I saw a lot of rice noodles in your store the day before yesterday..."

The clerk was furious: "I saw you the day before yesterday, why didn't you buy it? You thought it was too expensive, didn't you? No matter how much money you took today, you didn't have any food. Get out of the way quickly, and don't delay me closing the door."

"There must be grain in your shop!" Someone said angrily, "All the grain shops in the town are closed, how could it be such a coincidence, you profiteers, don't you want to hoard grain and sell it at a high price!"

As soon as the guy heard it, the door panel was not closed, "Come on, come in and see for yourself, if there is still a grain of grain, I will eat it for the door panel!"

"The cost of harvesting this year is not good. What we sell in our store is the previous stored grain. Why are the grain stores closed together? They are all sold out! There are times when we can only go out but not in? The disasters in various places are serious. Our main The family can't move food, you want to buy food, our master still wants to buy it!

Hurry up and disperse, it's useless for you to surround here, saying that there is no food is no food! "The buddy took advantage of their dazed efforts and moved quickly, and put the remaining few boards on.

A group of people gathered around the grain store for a long time helplessly and gradually dispersed.

After listening to the general idea, Yan Lao Er and the others went to other places.

Going forward, I saw a large group of people surrounding me.

They hurried over.

I don't want to, it's the gate of the yamen.

But the four of them were terrified, hiding in the crowd and not daring to show their heads.

I could only hear the voices of these people weeping blood, begging the old man to open warehouses tax-free.

When Yan Lao Er heard it, he took a peek.

Whoa! These people are obviously not ordinary people.

The leading ones are dressed well and have a good mental outlook, and most importantly, they are fat.

People with this figure these days are basically rich people.

Looking at the people who are having fun, they all wear similar bunts.

Obviously a servant.

There was only a commotion.

The old man opened the official frame and walked out.

As soon as he appeared, he cleared his throat, and the audience fell silent.

"Everyone, gentlemen, listen to what I have to say."

Yan's second glanced quickly again, oh, so it's not surprising that the old man looks like this.

"I have asked the government officials to play a tax-free tax to open a warehouse for relief, but there has been no response! Before I get an order, how dare I release the grain without permission. Everyone, go back. If there is any good news, I will make an appointment as soon as possible." Opening warehouses for relief, please rest assured."

"Master Mingjian, although we have a bit of a small income, but the villagers keep coming to ask for food, it is really unbearable!"

"My lord, it's not that I'm not polite, it's that I really can't live this day. The output of my family's farmland is reduced. If I pay the tax, I will go hungry. If I don't pay the tax, I will be punished according to the law. It's really not good, it's not good... Please The Elder Master is kind enough to help us procrastinate for a while, get through this summer, and wait until autumn to make up for it, can you?"

"I beg the Lord to show mercy!"

"I beg the Lord to show mercy!"

...

Yan Lao Er understood that these people wanted two things.

One is to open a granary, which is to help the villagers. If they don’t open the granary, they will not be able to ruthlessly send away the people who come to the door, and they will always have to give up some rice.

The second is to ask for an extension of the food tax, so that they can pay it in the fall, and wait until they get through this disaster.

It's all very reasonable.

However, the first article of the Elder also said that he could not release the grain without permission. He had already asked his superiors for instructions, but there was no reply. I am afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his wish, so everyone focused on the second article and begged the Elder to let them delay until autumn.

"You... you are... embarrassing this official!" The elder had a sad face, but he left without any further words!

Second Yan: What's the matter?

Is there no certainty whether to promise or not?

But the people around the gate of the yamen seemed to understand and dispersed.

Yan Laoer felt that he heard about the same, so he should go back quickly.

Ask Lao Yan to see if he understands.

His brain is really not suitable for thinking about such convoluted things...

...

When he came back to study, Old Yan really understood.

Yan Huaiwen sighed: "Even if they are allowed to pay taxes in autumn, it will not help."

The drought in Qishan Mansion lasted for two full years.

The food delivered by the various yamen under the government was too late to be distributed.

A large number of disaster victims fled to Fucheng, and Fucheng itself was hard to protect. The disaster victims continued to spread to the surrounding big houses, like locusts, eating all the food they could find and see.

Those who go first are fine, those who are left behind are really miserable.

Grass roots and tree bark are considered good things, eat the soil and die, change the seeds and eat...

He closed his eyes, unwilling to recall the heavy disaster memorial.

The imperial court's decree of tax exemption has only just come in autumn, and the gentry here have survived this year, but they don't know if they may survive next year.

Yan's second son snorted: "So, the elder turned around and went back, which means he agreed?" Then why didn't he say it, and made it so mysterious.

Yan Huaiwen taught him patiently: "In the officialdom, there are mostly those who are wise and protect their lives. If someone takes advantage of this incident in the future, they can also push it away."
