As for why the process even mentions the amount of unmarried tax, the main purpose is to remind men and women who resist marriage how heavy the tax will be if they do not act in accordance with laws and policies.
Xiang Zuo stood in the most conspicuous and open position and was reading out the personal information of the men who were convened throughout the county this year to send their brides.
The woman can take advantage of this opportunity to judge the man's situation for herself. If there is someone she likes, and the other person happens to have this affinity, both parties can be happily engaged and married.
If there's no one you can't see, just choose the conditions.
If all aspects are unsatisfactory, or the person she likes finally looks down on her, the woman can only settle for the next best thing.
As long as someone chooses him, he will marry him with his eyes closed.
And some people like Jin Duobao, unless they are unwilling to wrong themselves, can only rely on their family's financial resources to support them.
Zheng Quchi's current decline is because he is too poor. After paying "Sang Xuanqing's" fiancée tax to the county, he can no longer afford Zheng Quchi's.
She considered that after solving all the troubles left by "Sang Xuanqing" within a year, she would find a way to get a disability certificate for "Sang Xuanqing". In Ye State, he would be permanently disabled like Big Brother Sang. Individuals can be exempted from the unmarried tax.
However, there is no one in the court, and false evidence is difficult to obtain, so you have to act according to the situation.
"Shangyi Village, Shishan, I am 16 years old. I have parents, eldest brother, third brother, and youngest sister in my family, a total of six people. I have a household registration. I am participating in the procession for the first time. I should pay the unmarried tax of 500 copper coins. If I marry this year, Otherwise."
If there are many people in the family and they are not qualified, they will be eliminated.
"Hegou Village, Huangnan, I am seventeen years old. My family... participated in the wedding procession for the second time. I have to pay the unmarried tax of one thousand copper coins. If I marry this year, I will be exempted."
This family is engaged in a small business in the county, has a little bit of money, and is the only child in the family, so they will definitely not be willing to marry into the family and be eliminated.
Zheng Quchi always paid attention to Xiang Zuo's introduction to the man and made his selection.
But either the age is not suitable, or the family members are complicated, and there is a person from elsewhere who is of the right age, has no fixed address, and has no belongings... But the sisters next to him muttered that this person is a habitual criminal who is sneaking around, and everyone in their village is a criminal. Even though they were yelling and scolding, they would rather pay than get married.
Zheng Quchi thought, I can't want what others don't want.
disuse.
When more than half of the people were read, Xiang Zuo continued to read the next person. As soon as he said the word "Liu", his voice suddenly got stuck in his throat.
He stared at the roster in his hand with wide eyes.
This strange behavior aroused everyone's confusion.
But soon Xiang Zuo came back to his senses, but his expression was still a bit strange: "Liu Fengmian, twenty-one years old, no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, a foreigner, no house, no job..." He swallowed Drooling, he continued: "I have been absent from the wedding party for four years and should pay the unmarried tax..."
He took a deep breath, then spoke steadily and announced an astronomical number that made everyone's ears ring.
Everyone was shocked and looked at the man named Liu Fengmian in the corner.
His eyes were covered with gauze, revealing his slender chin and a pair of moist, reddish lips.
Tall and straight, with outstanding temperament.
Before, he was blocked by the men in front of him and didn't notice him. Now when they looked back out of curiosity, he was completely exposed.
Just because of his figure and outstanding appearance, he can extinguish all the small lights like the sun, moon and stars.
Everyone present could not move their eyes away for a moment.
But his eyes are covered with gauze. Is he blind?
Everyone couldn't help but speculate.
There was another person present who had an even greater reaction.
That is Zheng Quchi.
When I first heard the name "Liu Fengmian", I just thought it was strangely familiar and didn't think much about it. When I continued to listen to Xiang Zuo's personal introduction, I let out a sigh, and the more I listened, the more excited I became.
She never thought that someone would meet all the conditions in her mind. She felt that the contract marriage partner she had dreamed of had finally arrived as expected.
Her curiosity was raised to the highest level for a moment. She couldn't wait to see what the other person looked like. She was short, so after a while of stepping forward, she finally saw the other person's face clearly through the gap——
Damn it!
She finally remembered that she had indeed heard the name "Liu Fengmian", almost a month ago.
Is this "Liu Fengmian" really the Liu Fengmian? !
Isn't he Yu Wensheng's military advisor? Although this is just her wishful thinking.
Why did he come to this blind date team in the countryside?
Just when she was confused, she heard Xiang Zuo report the sky-high unmarried tax he had to pay——
Suddenly, his eyes widened and he felt numb.
She seemed to know...the reason why he came for the blind date.
As the saying goes, three pennies can stump a heroic man, but it's not just three pennies that weighs on him.
Not to mention just a strategist, even a general like Yu Wensheng would not be able to afford this amount of money easily.
Look, he was dressed in fine clothes before, but now he is in such a state of desolation.
So he was forced to find his wife out of desperation?
Zheng Quchi's heart bleeds when she thinks that she finally met such a man who was built according to her requirements, but she had to give up on him.
But what can we do if we don't give up? She is "Sang Xuanqing". If she marries him as Zheng Quchi, what if her identity is exposed and he informs Yu Wensheng?
Seeing that everyone seemed to be shocked by the numbers just now, Xiang Zuo quickly reassured: "This, maybe the county magistrate's statistics are wrong. I will go back and confirm with him later."
Oh, so that’s it.
The others blindly trusted Xiang Zuo's words and accepted it.
But Zheng Quchi didn't believe it. Ancient calculations did not use Arabic numerals. If your hands were shaking, you would mark less. If you were dizzy, you would draw more scrolls behind the numbers. That was real writing.
The chance of making a mistake is too low, especially for such a huge amount, it is almost impossible.
The women present could not help but secretly look at Liu Fengmian.
This man was too tempting just by showing the lower half of his face, which made them hiss and drool.
But when you think about the fact that he is an unemployed vagrant and a foreigner with no house or land, if you really marry him, won't you have to live on the street in the future?
What's more... he is still blind, and he doesn't even have the ability to take care of himself.
Some anxious women felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and they slowly gave up their desire to marry.
This self-introduction was actually a little trick used by Wang Zebang. He had a common problem among straight men and believed that their generals should never find a woman who was greedy for his money.
She must be kind and caring, and be able to share the joys and sorrows with the general who has nothing, and never leave him. Otherwise, she will be a waste of money, snobbish, and not have the discernment to discern pearls.
In fact, if Yu Wensheng didn't use a stick and wasn't "blind", he might actually be a handsome guy who gets dizzy for a while.
