Fix Smile Order Chapter 41:

Tang Tianyuan temporarily put aside the issue of reporting illegal gold mining, and he started to work on another matter.

The autumn grains in Tongling County have almost been collected, and the county magistrate will start to prepare for the county's autumn grain collection this year. Grain levy is more flexible, there is grain to be paid, and those who do not want to pay can be paid in silver. In the past years, the county has kept records of the grain collection. Whoever owns the fertile land and how much is the middle field, and which villager pays how much... Tang Tianyuan can completely follow the previous standards, which can save a lot of trouble.

However, considering that the quality of the people in the former county is not so reliable, Tang Tianyuan felt that the dead ghost county magistrate would have concealed and deducted behaviors when collecting grain. The big family could evade taxes by giving some benefits. To spread on the heads of ordinary people. Therefore, the county magistrate did not rush to collect grain this time, and first asked the villages below to report the land production of each local household and report it again. Those who dared to conceal and underreported the land and confiscated the land. After the statistics are finished, he will send people to the countryside to conduct random inspections.

Pingtou people are happy to see this move, but the big estate owners are very dissatisfied, and Sun and Qi are the first to bear the brunt. Both families asked Zhou Zhengdao to clear up, and wanted to find out what the county magistrate meant, and he was too daring, did he not want to mix up.

As for the county magistrate, Zhou Zhengdao felt that the little immortal was thankful for not writing a report letter to the Ministry of Household, and he did not force too much. Besides, listening to the words of the county magistrate, the imperial envoy has already set his sights on Tongling County, thinking of finding faults, so as a county magistrate, you can only do this, which is a merit to win the hearts and minds of the people. From this point of view, Zhou Zhengdao is on the side of the county magistrate.

So Zhou Zhengdao tried to persuade the Sun and Qi families to go back. They naturally refused to listen at first, so Zhou Zhengdao had to shake out the heavy news, "The magistrate has already discovered that someone has stolen gold, but we don't know who it is for the time being. If he finds something, you still have the heart to care about it. A petty profit?"

The two of them stopped fighting, and were frightened. Zhou Zhengdao appeased them for a while, and assured them that "the county magistrate is not a pure-hearted man, but he can be bought by the court", and finally dismissed him.

The two big households, Sun and Qi, obeyed the county magistrate, and those behind them did not dare to speak. The estate statistics are going well.

The significance of this incident is that with this new statistical book, the tax collection will basically follow the new one. Not only this year, but every year in the future, these large households must truthfully follow the new statistical book. Pay taxes.

Tan Lingyin admires the county magistrate very much. This person's personal morality is up for debate - the rumor that "Miao Miao Sheng is a big pervert" is still active in the gossip market, but to be fair, he is a good official. Field statistics are generally dominated by the state, and I don’t know how many tricks are involved. It is rare for a small sesame official like the county magistrate to rewrite the field statistics book drastically within a year of taking office. This is a thankless thing, and I don't know how many people will be offended. The starting point of the magistrate can only be for the people.

So Tan Lingyin's attitude towards the county magistrate these days has been quite rude.

Tang Tianyuan enjoyed Tan Lingyin's adoring eyes.

However, there is still some discord between the two, and the reason is Tan Qingchen.

That's right, Tan Lingyin found that when the magistrate mentioned Tan Qingchen, his expression was a little weird. It seems that he has something to say, but he is not easy to speak; on the surface, he pretends to not care much, but in fact it reveals that he is very concerned about everything related to Qingchen.

Tan Lingyin couldn't guess what he meant, but it made her more vigilant. So what he asked again, she covered it up and didn't say anything.

In addition, the county magistrate has also visited the ancient hall twice.

According to the description of Xiao Zhuang, a guy who was present at the time, the county magistrate was indifferent to the books he bought, and just kept peeking at the boss.

"Isn't it because of our boss?" Xiao Zhuang was worried.

To be honest, this guess is not impossible. Qingchen was originally good-looking and had outstanding temperament, like the green bamboo with morning dew on a summer morning, fresh and warm.

It is not surprising that such a person is seen by anyone.

What's more, Tang Feilong has a criminal record. He and his good friend Tang Tianyuan got close, not to mention, and imitated other people's handwriting; the first time he came to Gutang Bookstore to buy books, a pile of beautiful books he bought included Longyang style.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is, so Tan Lingyin is also worried.

Anyone who writes novels has their own plot expansion skills. Tan Lingyin kept in touch with each other. She thought about how Tang Feilong saw Qingchen who came to rescue in the dark and fell in love at first sight. How could she be so anxious the next day? Patiently inquired about Qingchen's life experience, it was like this for several days, and it was very annoying. She also thought that he would probably try to get Qingchen in the future, and he would not hesitate to take it by force or something...

It's just horrible.

Tan Lingyin returned to the county office in a depressing mood. After returning, I heard that Zhu Dacong sent someone to send a prayer box, and Tan Lingyin opened it and looked at it. It turned out that Zhu Daqing was celebrating her birthday, so she wanted to set up a banquet to entertain her friends, and invited her to the dinner. Although Tan Lingyin is a woman, she is used to showing her face. Ordinary people treat her like a man, and even if she is invited to drink, she will be counted.

The next day, Tan Lingyin went to Zhu Dacong's house to eat and drink in a relaxed mood.

After I came, I found out that the birthday party and her are only two people...

Seeing Zhu Dacong's order to open the table, Tan Lingyin was very surprised, "Are they not coming?"

Zhu Dacong is very embarrassed, "You know, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know many people. I sent out a few bundles yesterday, but unfortunately, Boss Feng happened to be visiting his father-in-law, and shopkeeper Deng went to the countryside. Looking at the grain harvest, Boss Xiao Tan also happened to be going to the neighboring county to **** the paper."

Boss Xiaotan is Qingchen. Tan Lingyin felt that Zhu Dacong's arrangement was not very good. The post was only sent the day before his birthday, and most people had already made arrangements.

She shook her head and sighed, "If I don't come, don't you want to celebrate your birthday alone?"

Zhu Dacong smiled, "I know you will definitely come."

"Why?"

He continued to laugh, "Because you are soft-hearted, you definitely can't bear to have my birthday alone."

Tan Lingyin also laughed, "I didn't think that Zhu Gongzi had an oily tone, how come I didn't notice it before."

Zhu Dacong lowered his head and supported the glass, "I don't often do this. Well, you don't want to call me a son, just call me by my name."

Da Cong...Tan Lingyin couldn't speak. She had to call out "Brother Zhu".

Zhu Dacong nodded with a smile.

At this time, a young servant came and said, "Master, the matchmaker Zhang from Cuckoo Lane is here, saying that she wants to congratulate you, and that there is a big happy event waiting for you."

Zhu Dacong said, "Isn't it just a matchmaker, just send her away."

In terms of appearance, Zhu Dacong is dignified, and in terms of financial resources, his jewelry store has a lot of valuable things. This kind of condition is very popular with matchmakers. Although he is a stranger, there are matchmakers who come to him every three days. Wife says concubine.

The servant does not agree with Zhu Dacong's decision, "But, young master..."

"Not yet."

"Yes."

After the servant left, Tan Lingyin asked, "Marriage is a good thing, but Brother Zhu doesn't like it?"

Zhu Dacong looked sad, "It's not like you don't know about me."

Tan Lingyin thought of his third fiancee who "died from depression", and she was also a little sad, but more guilty. After all, the source of this matter is her.

She didn't know how to comfort him either, so she had to say, "Brother Zhu, the claim that you want to kill your wife is a lie, don't believe it."

"You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

"Will you marry me?"

"..." A girl's family was suddenly asked such a question by a man, even if she was as cheeky as Tan Lingyin, she couldn't stand it. She blushed, looked down at the wine in the glass, and stammered, "No, that's not what you mean..."

Zhu Dacong said in a sullen voice, "It means the same thing. You also think that I am a wife."

"I'm not..." Tan Lingyin didn't know how to explain, "I mean, marriage is the life of my parents, you and I shouldn't talk about it like this."

Zhu Dacong asked back, "You mean, if Ling Zun promises our marriage, you will marry me?"

"..." Tan Lingyin found that Zhu Dacong's speech today was like throwing a knife, and the knife was stabbed at her fatal point.

Zhu Dacong comforted her in turn, "I drank a few glasses of turbid wine today, and I just talked nonsense. Don't worry about it."

Tan Lingyin shook her head, her eyes were red, "Brother Zhu, I...I'm sorry..."

Zhu Dacong waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about it. Drink."

The so-called alcohol is not intoxicating and people are self-intoxicating. Tan Lingyin has something on her mind. Fortunately, she wasn't drunk, she was still a little conscious and could walk back by herself. Zhu Dacong was not at ease, and sent her to the county office in person, and then he went back in a swaying step by step.

Tan Lingyin was carrying a small jug and singing while walking. Tang Tianyuan stood in front of the window of Retreat Hall and saw her passing by again. Quite far away, he seemed to be able to smell the smoky smell of alcohol on her body.

Tang Tianyuan was furious, "Tan Lingyin, come here!"

Tan Lingyin walked into the Retreat Hall with fascinated eyes. She used to have bad eyesight, but now that she drank too much, it was even worse, so she walked closer and still couldn't see his face clearly.

She was dissatisfied and took two more steps forward, looking up, face to face with him.

Hiccup... Finally got it.

The two are so close that they almost stick together. Tang Tianyuan was inexplicably nervous when she saw her looking at him so intently, "What are you going to do?"

Tan Lingyin stood on tiptoe and got closer.

Are you going to kiss him? Tang Tianyuan's throat tightened a little, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her lips.

Cherry lips lightly opened, and she slowly spit out a few words, "Tang, Fei, Long."

"I'm here," Tang Tianyuan replied in a low voice, persuading him, "Tan Lingyin, what do you want to do?"

"Did you see me, me, me..." A wine burp stuck in her throat, unable to say the next words.

The more direct it is, the more overwhelming it is. Tang Tianyuan's heartbeat was chaotic again, he looked into Tan Lingyin's eyes, those eyes were even more moist due to drunkenness, like two springs of water. He seemed to fall into this spring water and never climbed ashore again.

"I..." Tang Tianyuan opened his lips. At this moment, he couldn't tell how he would answer.

Tan Lingyin's wine hiccup finally passed, "My brother."

Tang Tianyuan's reaction was half a beat slower than usual, so he turned his head and looked at her suspiciously before connecting her words: Did you like my brother.

"..." Tang Tianyuan had the urge to cut someone with a knife.

Tan Lingyin didn't feel his anger, she patted him on the shoulder and raised her eyebrows, "I warn you, if you dare to think wrongly about Qingchen, my mother will castrate you!" He clenched his fist and shook it, then walked away.

Leaving Tang Tianyuan alone on the spot breathing fire, gnashing his teeth.
