Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 70
But since these words came from the mouth of the accountant, there should be no problem. He is in charge of accounts and is very sensitive to numbers.

Then this account has to be recalculated.

Qin Feng brainstormed for a long time, but the result was really disappointing.

Calculated based on the yield of 300 catties per mu, after the people handed over 8% of the landowner’s income, they would still have about 2700 catties left.

Even if such a small amount of food is not paid at all, it is difficult for the family to have enough food.

According to Qin Feng's previous thinking, if a family consumes 10 catties a day, they will starve to death before they can harvest tomorrow.

Qin Feng vaguely remembered that after he succeeded in suppressing the bandits, a commoner happily said that he could eat enough because he didn't have to pay the money for suppressing the bandits this year.

I thought he was being polite and said "eat well" as "eat enough".

Only now did Qin Feng understand that what he said was the truth.

These ordinary people, are they a little bit too hot?

Qin Feng did some calculations. If a household had 2700 catties of grain, it would be enough to just "enough".

These grains can’t be used to eat all of them. Some of them have to be sold to merchants, hunters who don’t work in agriculture, in exchange for money to supplement their families.

The ancient people lived a simple life and didn't have so much money to spend, but it's not like they didn't spend a penny.

Digging out this part, a family is counted as two men and women plus one child, and there are only three people. If you want to have food to eat all year round, you can have about 6 catties of food per day on average.

6 pounds!

The life of ancient people was not as rich as the modern resources where Qin Feng lived. The common people basically couldn't eat meat, vegetables, oil and so on.Mainly rely on food.

If a grown man eats only food a day, he needs at least 3 catties, right?

Women and children, a little less, even adding up to 3 catties is not enough!

If you only rely on food, you may be hungry every day.

No wonder Qin Feng saw that most of the farmers in Ninghai County didn't gain weight. They were all covered with skin and bones, and their muscles were pitifully small.

Can I gain weight by being hungry every day?
They said that this year is a good year, and they can eat enough. I am afraid that they have reached a comprehensive conclusion after taking into account all the family income, and it cannot be truer.

2700 catties, 22.5 shi, Qin Feng would charge 6 shi, equivalent to taking away nearly one-third of their rations.

How did Qin Feng accept this?
"Damn! Isn't this fucking outrageous? How the hell am I going to pay the food tax?"

After making a calculation, Qin Feng hurriedly stood up.

Do you really want to look down and go find those squires?
But he really turned down his face and came to look for it. Can those squires help?

Even if they really tied Qin Feng's favor, they will definitely have something in the future. When the time comes to find Qin Feng to settle the case and ask Qin Feng to cover up or something, how can Qin Feng be fair and just?

"Ugh!"

Qin Feng sighed heavily, and walked out of the county office with his hands behind his back.

"Master Qin, where are you going?"

"Then who knows, maybe I went out to vent."

"That's right, Mr. Qin offended the squires in this county too hard."

"This year's taxation is a dead end...My lord, this time, it's difficult..."

……

At the same time, a banquet is being held at the home of the squire Hu Lai.

The table is full of fish soup, broth, and rice soup. The dishes are all excellent, not at all like the ancient style of whole chicken and duck served on the table.

White flour steamed buns, steamed stuffed buns, etc., are even missing.

Without him, it was because most of these squires had no front teeth to gnaw on, and were knocked out by Qin Feng's order of eighty slaps.

Hu Lai was considered to have a better image among these squires. He only had one tooth knocked out, and the other front tooth was already inlaid with gold.

Only in front of him was a slightly whole roasted chicken.

Everyone was watching Hu Lai eating the chicken legs, most of them gritted their teeth and darkened their faces.

"Mr. Hu, you asked us to come here, don't you just want us to see your gold teeth? Hmph! If it wasn't for the fact that my mouth injury hasn't healed yet, I would have already had it installed!"

A squire looked at it for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore, and said.

Several other people immediately expressed their opinions and began to talk about the dental implant.

"There is a master in Laishan County next door. His teeth are polished exquisitely. I have already asked someone to invite them. I am waiting for him to come and fix my teeth."

"Yes, I also want to find a better job. The matter of dental implants should not be underestimated. It must be carefully selected."

"This is true..."

Hu Lai couldn't help but sneered when he heard them talking about dental implants, and slammed the table down: "Huh! Yayaya, you only care about the teeth! Why don't you think about how our teeth fell out?"

"This Qin Feng is extremely shameless, because he is a county magistrate, he will ride on our necks and shit, are you not angry at all?"

When all the squires heard this, they were all dumbfounded and didn't speak, but their emotions were hooked by Hu Lai.

Everyone had a look of hatred on their faces, and it goes without saying that everyone knew that it was Qin Feng who was thinking in their hearts.

But they could only think about it and gritted their teeth secretly.

After a while, one person sighed heavily: "Oh, what's the use of being angry? As a county magistrate, he is not afraid of anything, even your uncle Zhizhou, the official of Zhang, can't do anything about him?"

"Yes, not to mention, there is a governor who is backing Qin Feng. I think it is difficult for the magistrate to raise his head in front of Qin Feng!"

"That's true! Today I saw a big man come to Ninghai County. I sent someone to inquire. It is said that he came from the capital! The father-in-law of the inner courtyard of the palace! He is here to deliver the imperial decree to Qin Feng! This Qin Feng is already a fifth rank Official! I just stay in Ninghai County, but if there is a vacancy, I will be transferred to be a high official immediately!"

"Then he can be transferred away quickly. We can breathe a sigh of relief when he leaves... I don't believe that there is another Qin Feng who is as stupid as Qin Feng. The new county magistrate, let's win over, It will be the same as before.”

The squires sighed at Qin Feng, they were so angry and had no choice but to hope that he would be transferred and leave.

Hu Lai pouted, and stared at these worthless guys a few times: "Hmph, you guys are so kind, you can bear it!"

"But you can bear it, but I, Hu, can't bear it!"

"Hu has been slapped for the first time since he was born from his mother's womb! I must avenge this revenge! I must make Qin Feng look good!"

Hu Lai made a slap in the face first, and finally told the crowd that he wanted them to come.

"Right now, there is an opportunity to call Qin Feng unlucky! It is for this reason that I called you here today! But...you all disappoint me, how can I trust you?"

A chance to call Qin Feng unlucky?
Immediately, the eyes of several squires brightened, and the spirits of each of them changed immediately, and they came forward one by one.

"Mr. Hu, what is the chance? Tell me! It's not that we don't hate Qin Feng, but we have no way to deal with him. Since you have a way, tell us! If we need to do something, how can we stand by and watch? "

Hu Lai narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said with a twitch of his mouth: "No! If you really want to deal with Qin Feng, you must not do anything!"

"Don't do anything? Mr. Hu, are you stupid?"

Everyone immediately refuted as soon as they heard it.

But Hu Lai looked confident: "Everyone, don't worry, what I said is not stupid."

"how do I say this?"
