Half a month later.
On this day, Wei Mingfeng was taking a bath at home and applying a homemade peach blossom mask. Xie Zuchang suddenly broke into the yard and shouted while walking: "Miss, it's not good."
Xiaoju quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Xie, what happened? The lady is taking a bath. You, a man, don't just rush in casually."
"Something big has happened. I want to see Miss." Xie Zuchang said again.
"What happened? Tell me. The sun is so strong outside. The lady has to protect her skin. She hasn't left the room for half a month." Xiao Ju said.
Xie Zuchang didn't know why Wei Mingfeng suddenly stopped going out. He said anxiously: "If the lady doesn't go out, people will be killed over there, and the seedlings she planted will be gone. What are you doing standing there? Go call the lady quickly."
At this time, Wei Mingfeng came out of the house fully dressed. Within half a month, she had regained her flower-like appearance.
"What's going on?" she said solemnly.
When Xie Zuchang saw her, his face turned red inadvertently, "Miss."
"As we walked, we were talking about where the people were killed and what happened to the seedlings?" Wei Mingfeng said.
Xie Zuchang is now Wei Mingfeng's accountant, and he and Yun Shu are taking care of all the business. When they have nothing to do, they also go to the fields to keep an eye on it.
Just listen to him: "The thing is like this..."
When they arrived at the field, Wei Mingfeng saw the people in the field fighting with the soldiers' families over the rice seedlings. When the people heard that the soldiers' families had grown more than six times the grain they could grow, everyone wanted to come. After taking a look, the two sides had a quarrel and started fighting.
In fact, it was a big deal, but the commotion got bigger and bigger. Finally, the people were not convinced and began to pull out the seedlings in the fields. Men and women worked together at a very fast speed. In an instant, more than half of the seedlings were lost.
Wei Mingfeng was seen standing on the field ridge in a gorgeous dress, and said sternly: "Stop, you all stop."
But no one listened to her at all. Everyone was still arguing desperately, almost twisting into a ball. Compared with the voices of the people, her voice was too small.
At this time, someone pushed her into the field. Her body was covered with mud, and even her face and hair were covered with mud.
Suddenly, she howled at everyone: "I told you to stop, do you hear me?"
Maybe it was because the explosion was too powerful. Suddenly, those fighting together stopped and looked at her.
Seeing that she had fallen into the field, Mrs. Wu quickly ran over to help her up and said, "Miss Wei, are you okay? All these seedlings were destroyed by them."
Wei Mingfeng got up from the field. The field was not deep, but she was dirty all over her body. She saw that Mrs. Wu and others were also dirty, with mud on their faces.
Wei Mingfeng burst out laughing when he saw her look like that.
Mrs. Wu didn't know why and asked: "Miss Wei, the crops have been destroyed, why are you still smiling?"
Wei Mingfeng knew that these were common people, and she couldn't get angry at them, but she had to find a way to calm them down, so she just said: "Look, you two are both fathers and mothers, why?" Worse than your mud brat? It’s a pity that I don’t have a camera, otherwise I would record it all for you.”
Suddenly, when everyone stopped and looked at each other, they were indeed quite dirty, which looked very funny.
Wei Mingfeng glanced at the circle of small children on the field ridge again and said: "When you usually beat your children, have you ever thought that one day you will be like them? You should really ask your ancestors to come and have a look. , whether their descendants are funny or not, and whether they should be beaten."
For a moment, Wei Mingfeng's words caused the children in the field to burst into laughter.
At this time, she just wanted to cry, her peach blossom mask failed.
She taught these people to grow high-yielding rice with good intentions, but her cultivation also caused conflicts.
At this time, a sturdy man said: "Are you Miss Wei from Kyoto? You are a member of the official family, and it was you who taught them how to grow rice. We are also ordinary people. We have also worked hard for a year and the food we grow is better than theirs." The income is six times less, and we still have to pay taxes to the government. They are soldiers and do not have to pay taxes. Then our lives will be equally miserable, but the officials will become richer and richer."
Immediately, someone echoed: "That's right, we ordinary people can't live any longer."
"If we can't survive, no one can survive, so why should we, the people, suffer."
"that is……"
For a while, it became noisy again.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became even more displeased: "Miss Wei gave us our grain seeds for free. Why are you so jealous? If you damage our seedlings, we can report you to the officials."
Another person said: "I heard that Miss Wei is the general's fiancée. Since she is the general's wife, she should also take care of us common people and treat them equally. We asked you to borrow some rice seedlings, but you all said we didn't have any, and you also said some unpleasant words. It's just you." Are you an official like this?"
"What you are saying is simply bandit theory. When the food is grown in the future and you see that it is not what you want, do you still want to rob it?" Mrs. Wu's people also said.
"We don't do murder and illegal things. We just want fairness. If we produce more food, we should pay more taxes. We have nothing to say. Besides, you don't have to pay taxes."
Suddenly, Wei Mingfeng got angry again, "Stop arguing, what you are talking about, can damaging the seedlings solve the problem? Don't we just want to increase food production? I, Wei Mingfeng, promise to ensure that everyone can grow High-yielding crops.”
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded. Mrs. Wu said: "Miss Wei, didn't you say that grain seeds are limited?"
"Just because there isn't one now, doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. What you are planting is just the first batch. Who else said that the families of soldiers don't have to pay taxes?"
Xie Zuchang said quickly: "It has been like this for many years. The government's notices have been around since the time of Emperor Hades."
Why does Wei Mingfeng feel like officials are bullying the people? However, soldiers work very hard to protect their homes and country. At the same time, the country also pays them military salaries, which is equivalent to double benefits.
Wei Mingfeng added: "I will discuss this matter with them later. Generally speaking, everyone's life is too hard and there is no surplus grain to pay taxes. Then we will find ways to increase production and reduce taxes."
"Don't be dissatisfied. You feel that you are at a disadvantage because the families of the soldiers did not pay taxes. Their husbands or sons went to war to protect the safety of the country. They are protecting the people with their lives. Without them, you would not have a stable life. Everyone, stop making trouble and go back. If anything happens, we can discuss it at General Mei’s house."
Suddenly, everyone stopped making trouble, and felt that Miss Wei was right. The war in the Northern Dynasties did not stop for long. The people were indeed suffering, and so were the soldiers.
At this time, there was sudden applause on Tianba, and General Wu came with a group of people and horses at some unknown time, looking at the majestic applause.
Wei Mingfeng shouted: "Vice General Wu, don't embarrass the people, let your troops withdraw."
Before Vice General Wu could speak, a handsome man dressed in black walked out from behind the soldiers.
Wei Mingfeng looked at him blankly, lost her mind for a moment...
