A Blessed Wife At Home Chapter 1736: I gave in
Meijia, the weather is getting warmer at this time of year, which is perfect for going into the mountains to cut trees.
The Mei family is mainly engaged in the lumber business. They have a large-scale furniture workshop and also engage in log trading.
The territory of Anze Prefecture is filled with undulating mountains and vast expanse of forest with towering ancient trees. It would be impossible to get out even after walking for several days.
But those who are in the timber business do not mean that they can cut down the wood at will.
Folks need wood for their homes. It is allowed to go to the mountains to cut down a few trees. However, those who want to do the timber business must register with the government and obtain approval before going into the mountains to cut down trees.
And this felling is also very particular. It is necessary to try not to damage the young trees, and some large trees that have grown for hundreds or hundreds of years are not allowed to do anything. In fact, the lumberjacks do not know how to do it. If you cut down such an ancient tree, everyone will subconsciously be in awe of such an ancient tree, thinking that the ancient tree has become a **** and is protected by the mountain god. If you cut it down easily, you will offend the mountain god, which is very likely to cause disaster, and you may not be able to eat this bowl of rice. .
The government's approval is not in vain. How many trees are cut down means how much taxes have to be paid.
The Mei family cuts down a huge number of trees every year, but pays less than one-twentieth of the tax they should pay.
As a result, everyone in the Mei family complained a lot and was very dissatisfied with the government. And each of the governors was submissive and did not dare to say anything.
Any convenience the Mei family wants, they basically accept it without any objection!
Of course, the government treats the other two major families the same way. The remaining families, large and small, who are attached to the three major families and follow behind the three major families can always get a sip of broth.
If this were not the case, Anze Prefecture’s official finances would not be so short that there would not even be one hundred taels of silver on the books.
I often need to borrow money from the three major families to pay out salaries.
Of course, this loan is not in vain, it must be exchanged for something else, for example, this kind of approval document needs to be issued by the government.
Since the Mei family is going to start cutting trees in the mountains this year, they naturally have to go to the government to get approval.
Without this approval document, foreign merchants would not take goods from them in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, if they were reported or discovered by the government, there would be nothing to say if everything was inspected.
Not only will they be inspected, but they will also be fined.
A fine of a large sum of money was imposed.
No one wants to take such a risk for no reason.
From top to bottom, the Anze Prefecture Government Office is looked down upon by the three major families, but after all it is a government office, and its usefulness cannot be replaced by any family.
No matter how strong and powerful the family is!
The second wife of the Mei family first visited Qiao Xuan with generous gifts - everyone who wants to take a roundabout way to save the country will always visit Qiao Xuan, the wife of the governor, whenever something happens.
The Mei family is somewhat afraid of Shao Yunduan~IndoMTL.com~The generous gift prepared is really thick, thicker than the gifts they gave to other Zhizhou adults in the past.
However, this is not what Qiao Xuan wants, and this is not what Shao Yunduan wants. Mrs. Mei's trip is destined to be fruitless.
Qiao Xuan even refused to accept the generous gift she sent, insisting that she take it back intact.
At first Mrs. Mei was reluctant to give up, but Qiao Xuan insisted and she had to take the gift back in the end.
This is the first time that a gift sent by the Mei family has been returned like this.
It would be impossible for Mrs. Mei not to feel aggrieved.
Qiao Xuan turned around and told Shao Yunduan about this, jokingly saying: "The Mei family has begun to move. My husband, please pay more attention these days. Whether this head can be successfully opened depends on this."
Shao Yunduan smiled: "They can try to compare with those bandits in Hutou Village!"
