Gu Jingyun accepted the seafood from the children, and the adults in the village were relieved, and they gathered together at Qin's house that night.

   For the first time, Gu Jingyun didn't go to bed early, so he took Li Baolu to teach them how to set up firebreaks scientifically.

   Except for Zhang Dazhui, who was sweating profusely, he couldn’t understand it, but after learning it three or four times, he understood it.

   "Uncle Zhang, go back and call Zhang Liulang, and I will teach him again."

   Zhang Dachui could not get what he wanted, so he got up and left.

   At this time, the rice has not been harvested, and it is the slack season. After mastering the know-how of using fire to open up wasteland, the villagers immediately threw themselves into wasteland reclamation activities.

  The wasteland near a village was quickly divided by everyone, and everyone almost fought for the wasteland.

   When Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun carried their small hoes down to the ground, they saw that firebreaks had been cut out in the nearby wasteland, and they could set fire to the wasteland only when Uncle Qin calculated that the wind was the least.

  Li Baolu said immediately: "Let's stay at home and don't go out when they burn down the wasteland."

"why?"

"poor air quality."

   Gu Jingyun understood after thinking about it, "Ah, the dust rises into the sky and the gas turns turbid, it will indeed be uncomfortable."

   Gu Jingyun tilted his head and thought for a while: "It doesn't matter, I'll take you to the county seat then, we won't stay at home."

  Li Baolu's eyes lit up, "Uncle wants to take us to the county seat?"

   She has never been to the county seat of Qiongzhou Prefecture when she grows up so much.

  Gu Jingyun shook his head, "It's not my uncle, it's me," Gu Jingyun emphasized, "I'll take you there!"

   "...Don't make trouble, uncle will go crazy."

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "I'm serious. When the time comes, we'll bring the seafood from our home to sell, and by the way, we'll get medicine for my mother, and buy some fabrics for you and your aunt to make clothes."

Gu Jingyun had already remembered these things in his heart. Li Bo gave his mother a limited amount of pills, so he had to grab some emergency medicines for backup. Baolu didn’t have any new clothes when she came home, and she was wearing old clothes brought from Li’s house. Maybe it's been a long time since I made clothes...

   Gu Jingyun, who felt that he was already a little man, naturally had to worry about this for his family.

  Li Baolu always remembered their ages, and said rather speechlessly: "We are too young to be kidnapped."

   Gu Jingyun reassured her: "Don't worry, we are sinners, no one dares to attack us, not to mention that when the children in the village are going to go, we can just follow them."

  Li Baolu did not expect that the identity of a criminal would have such benefits, and was speechless for a while.

   Seeing that Gu Jingyun made up her mind, she knew that it was useless to talk too much. Anyway, Uncle Qin would never agree to such a thing, right?

Who knew that Qin Xinfang agreed without thinking, and took out a money bag to Gu Jingyun, "This is silver, you can buy whatever you want, but you have small arms and legs, so you have to plan what you want to buy, after all, the things you buy still need to be bought. Bring it back by yourself."

  Gu Jingyun took the money bag and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't waste money."

   Qin Xinfang nodded in relief.

  Li Baolu scratched her head suspiciously and asked, "Isn't this the first time you went to the county seat?" She clearly remembered that he said that he had never been out of a village.

  Gu Jingyun put away the money bag and said indifferently, "It's the first time, what's wrong?"

   "...It's nothing, I just think my uncle has a big heart." Who would dare to let a five-year-old child go to the county alone?

   This is the first time!

  Gu Jingyun didn't think there was anything wrong, so he found a time and said to Zhang Liulang, "We're going to the county seat recently, are you going?"

   Lin added, "If you go, I can help you bring half of the seafood into the city, on the condition that you have to help us get things."

   The words "no go" swirled around the tip of his tongue and swallowed, Zhang Liulang's eyes lit up and said, "I'll go back and ask my elder brother!"

   Zhang Liulang rushed home like a gust of wind, "Brother, the sick child asked us to go into the city and asked us to help him carry things. He is willing to help us bring half of the seafood into the city! Do we agree or not?"

   Zhang Dalang's eyes lit up, patted his head and said, "How stupid, why don't you agree to such a good thing? Hurry up and make an appointment with him."

   Zhang Liulang turned around and ran.

  Gu Jingyun is calculating the best time to set fire with his uncle, so as to determine the time when they enter the city.

   "Tomorrow afternoon, the wind will be very light, and the wind will be light at night, so it's a good time." Uncle Qin pointed at the results calculated on the paper.

   "Then we will leave early tomorrow morning." Gu Jingyun turned to Li Baolu and said, "If you have anything to bring, pack it up tonight."

   Uncle Qin asked with a smile, "Have you made an appointment with a friend who is going to the city?"

  Gu Jingyun raised his chin and said, "The news has been released. I am willing to bring half of the goods into the city for them. As long as they are not stupid, they will follow me into the city."

Gu Jingyun expected it well, Zhang Liulang's voice was so loud that many people heard it, but within a quarter of an hour, the remaining seventeen households in the village knew that Gu Jingyun wanted to enter the city. Who will help who bring half of the seafood into the city.

   You must know that Gu Jingyun is a good citizen. The tax paid by good people and sinners for bringing goods into the city is different. Good people only need to pay 2% of the value of the goods, while sinners pay 10%.

When the whole village heard the news, Zhang Liulang rushed from his home to the Qin family and told Gu Jingyun that he and his second and third brothers were going to the county town. The children of other families also rushed to the Qin family and said to Gu Jingyun, "Me too. I'd like to help you get something, and count it as part of my family..."

"And me, and me," a half-year-old boy blushed and said, "I can still carry you and your little daughter-in-law, you are so young, you must not be able to go long, you have to be carried on your back. "

   The other children glared at him, feeling that he was carrying back to flatter him, and turned around and promised Gu Jingyun, "We can carry you too, and help you carry water bottles, drink water when you're thirsty, and eat dry food when you're hungry..."

Gu Jingyun was not at all happy to be so flattered by others, he said with a sullen face: "Okay, I promise you that each family is half of seafood, and no one can have more, so go back and prepare, tomorrow. We'll set off in the morning."

  The teenagers cheered and ran home happily. This time, they could pay a lot less in taxes, and the family had another income.

Qin Xinfang, who witnessed the whole process, pursed his lips slightly, and sighed: "The tyranny of the government is fiercer than a tiger, the capital, Shandong and Shanxi have never heard that civilian goods also need to be taxed when entering the city, but the further south you go out of Shandong, the more chaotic the government affairs are. It will be more and more difficult for the people to survive.”

   "Qiongzhou Prefecture has high mountains and rivers, and is separated from the mainland by a strait. The exploitation is even worse. Even vegetable farmers have to pay taxes when they enter the city." Qin Xinfang shook his head and sighed, "If this continues, I don't know how long it will last."

Gu Jingyun did not speak with a sullen face. Although everyone was flattering him just now, and he had a posture of holding the moon together, he was not at all uncomfortable. He didn't understand why he was uncomfortable, but after hearing Uncle Qin's words, he gradually gradually Understand, these stupid people are annoying, but they have been working hard to live, no one is qualified to trample their will like this.

   Those who enter the city do not have to pay taxes, but because of tyranny, because of corrupt officials, they will take their dignity for this thing they should not pay and put it on the ground and let him step on it.

   Although Gu Jingyun looked down on their IQ, he respected them. Dignity is the most undefiled thing in this world!

   For example, his uncle, his aunt, and his mother!

   He had heard a lot of secrets since he was a child pretending to be sleeping. He knew that his uncle was exiled because of political failure, but he was not helpless. As long as he was willing to let go of his dignity, his ideals and persistence, more power would accept him.

   But my uncle would rather be exiled to Qiongzhou than betray his beliefs and let go of his dignity.

  It's not that my aunt can't get out of here. If nothing else, just a letter of Heli will be able to protect herself, but my aunt insists on following my uncle to this Qiongzhou mansion where birds don't shit.

  The mother is a married daughter, and the Gu family is shameless, but if the mother is as shameless as the Gu family, it would be very easy to stay in the Gu family and the capital.

  The villain is easy to live, but they all chose to be gentlemen.

  Because of dignity, people must live with dignity, ideals and persistence!

  Aren't the children of a village without dignity?

No, they have. Even if their parents ask him, they still don't have much affection for him. The biggest concession is to say hello to a reluctant face on the road, and pick out one or two sea fish to give him when they are rushing to the sea. To please, but it's the kind that doesn't even say a soft word.

   But now, just because he was willing to help them bring half of the seafood into the city, they all rushed to his house to please him.

The child who entered the second grade early was not happy at all. He asked in confusion: "Uncle, the world is so unfair, why don't they resist? Maybe it would be better to change to another emperor? The emperors of all dynasties will be benevolent, let The people are recuperating."

  Qin Xinfang looked at his nephew helplessly and said, "You can't avoid war if you change the dynasty. The people who suffer because of the war must be much more than the common people who benefited from the opening of the dynasty."

"Then is there a way to change the emperor without a war?" Gu Jingyun said, "It's better to change the emperor with another surname after one emperor is finished, and everyone who can live there will be able to avoid the appearance of a faint king to a greater extent. Don't be afraid of a faint king, as long as the courtiers have the right to dismiss the emperor."

   Qin Xinfang was amused, rubbed his head and said, "Okay, just talk to us about such whimsical things, don't talk nonsense when you go out."

   Li Baolu blushed and held back her words, but she couldn't help but look at Gu Jingyun with bright eyes, feeling excited for a while.

  Child, do you know how advanced your thinking is?

  There is one emperor in a dynasty, one emperor and one surname, and those who can live in it, the courtiers can dismiss the emperor, if this is replaced by a proper presidential system.

  Unfortunately, my family, Jingyun, doesn't know what a president is, but it's just a title, and the emperor is not bad.

  Li Baolu felt that he should be optimistic about him in the future to prevent him from revealing such advanced ideas prematurely. You must know that pioneers generally do not live long.
