On the morning of the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was sunny and light windy.

I think today is a good day. Because before Li Luo went to the meeting with the village chief, the village chief Gao Jian, who came to collect taxes before, had already come uninvited.

Of course he charges taxes.

I saw Li Luo wearing a brand new ninth-rank official uniform, stroking the handle of the knife, and a small official seal hanging around his waist. He looked down at Gao Cunmaru in the yard from a high place.

I didn't see the villain's smug expression on Li Luo's face. On the contrary, I saw that he was very serious and his eyes were a little cold.

But I know that the fugitive must be proud in his heart.

Poor Masato Takamura looked at Li Luo in disbelief. His mouth couldn't help but open, his eyes were first shocked, and then slowly turned into awe. The changes in his expression were also his waist and his hands.

His waist began to bend, and his hands left the hilt.

The fugitive spoke slowly. This scene made me want to laugh, and I felt like I was watching a movie. The actors were so dedicated, every detail and every expression were worth remembering.

"Masato Takamura, you and I have met again. It's okay, I've saved my official from going there."

Gaocun Masaru finally bowed and respectfully saluted the fugitive: "Li, Li Langjun, is the new Duzhai Lord in my hometown?"

The fugitive showed a pretentious smile and said, "It was me. Lord Fujun personally assigned this job and ordered me to take up my new job as soon as possible. No, the government affairs in the future will be more troubled by Gaocun Zheng."

I found that Gao Jian's eyes were quietly looking at the official seal on the fugitive's waist, and it should be confirming the authenticity of the fugitive's official position.

But judging from his expression changes, he believed it.

"Little official Gao Jian, I have met the Lord Duzhai!"

Gao Jian took two steps back and saluted again. At this time, he must have been lucky, a little scared, and a little pleased.

Looking at this person's personality portrait, he is very sleek, good at forbearance, cautious and careful, and likes to do things. Such a person is very snobbish, but he is also easy to use and can do things.

The fugitive raised his hand and looked like a chief, saying, "Don't you be exempted. Is Takamura here to collect taxes?"

Gao Jian was indeed smart. He didn't even dare to say that he was coming to pay New Year's greetings in advance. He also took the initiative to say: "The Lord Duzhai has just come to take office, and the minor official should report some local feelings to the adults, so that it can be convenient for the adults to handle official duties."

Li Luo said, "It's just my wish." He invited Gao Jian into the house.

When Gao Jian saw me, he quickly saluted me again and called him Mrs. Li. Although I felt uncomfortable, I could only respond. Because I had to worry about this era, I had to avoid the main room, so it was difficult for me to be present and listen to their conversation.

A large, three small and four foxes were hiding in the kang hole in the main room. Seeing me in, the female fox showed an intimate expression together, as if flattering and pleasing.

The three little foxes have grown up a little more. In another month, they will be able to conduct a police fox training plan.

However, during this period, I will contact them more to familiarize them with my scent.

Logically speaking, the female beast during breastfeeding is very fierce, but this female fox is an exception. Because it is clear that I am raising it. The fox is indeed a high IQ animal.

…………

There is no fixed office yamen in Duzhai. Wherever Duzhai’s home is, it is Duzhai’s yamen.

But the current Duzhai District is too simple and shabby.

So much so that Li Luo's brand new official uniform is incompatible with the miserable situation in the room.

But this does not prevent Li Luo from feeling good.

This was his first time as an official. In the past, he had never even worked as a school class monitor, committee member, or even a class representative.

Seeing Gao Jian, who was holding the aphor of the village master when he first came, now becoming respectful, Li Luo finally tasted the taste of power.

Gao Jian said carefully: "The Lord of Haojiaoduzhai knows that there are about 1,400 households in the eleven villages in Mani Township, about 8,000 people, about 20,000 mu of land, and one fishing port. This year, a total of more than 5,000 mu of tax, more than 2,400 mu of exemption from service tax, more than 1,500 mu of eastern tax, more than 200 mu of commercial tax, and more than 400 fish tax. This year, a total of about 1,000 mu of tax was collected."

It's so cruel! Li Luo thought that a town with 8,000 people actually collected tens of thousands of taxes.

After hearing what Gao Jian said, Li Luo generally had an idea. He asked again: "How many local heroes still have now?"

Gao Jian said: "The township heroes rotate every two years. It is now the end of the year. This round of township heroes has been suffering for two years, and it is worth it. Now there is no one."

Li Luo frowned and said, "Then it should be recruited by the new township heroes. Only the fellow villagers' courage should be paid? How can the Xinxiang heroes be paid in advance before the New Town God has not yet taken the rotation?"

Gaocunzheng smiled bitterly: "There are only dozens of fellow villagers in the past two years, and they are still forced to force the hard-core, and no one wants to do so. Last time the pirates destroyed the Pu family, the Zhoudu Village had to force the village hero to go into battle. In the end, six people were killed by the pirates, and the others scattered. Now there is no one to be the village hero? Naturally, there is no one left. After the Park family was destroyed, the Zhoudu Village was robbed and removed from its official position."

Li Luo actually felt sorry for the Goryeo people not to recruit local brave men. Only when the Goryeo people regard local brave men as a fear of their own will he have the excuse to recruit Han and Jurchens.

After all, he is now pretending to be a Korean and is an official of a Korean.

"Takamura Masaru, go and contact the other ten village masters and let them come here to discuss matters. Be sure to arrive within two hours."

"As for the order!"

Gao Jian stood up and bowed, and quickly left the Li family courtyard.

Li Luo pinched his watch. Just after 1:00 p.m., a group of people came to the Li family courtyard, which attracted the villagers to stop and watch.

"It's all the Lord Munmasato. Why did all eleven people come to the Li family to do it?"

"What happened to the Li family? Why are so many clans from Cun Zheng coming together?"

"You are stupid. Didn't you see the village men bringing gift boxes? That was a gift to the Li family!"

"Give gifts to the Li family? By the way, they must have known that Li Langjun was from a noble family, so they came to please him."

Not to mention the villagers here, I just said that Gao Jian brought the other ten villages together to the door, causing a lot of noise.

"The little official has met the Lord Duzhai!"

"I've met Lord Duzhai!"

The eleven people bent down to salute together, and the sound was loud and the villagers had heard it.

Immediately afterwards, the villagers saw Li Luo walking out of the house in an official uniform. The ninth-rank official uniform was like a strong ray of sunshine, which suddenly pierced the villagers' eyes.

"Li Langjun has become a capital village!"

"Master Duzhai..."

"No wonder! I just said, Li Langjun must be not simple. Now he is in the capital village!"

The superiority and inferiority of Goryeo is more strict than that of Central Plains. Although Li Luo is just a ninth rank and a big official, he is an extraordinary figure in the eyes of the lower class.

"Everyone is free, let's go into the house to discuss matters!"

Li Luo said something and turned around and went into the house.

The villages were carrying gift boxes together, and the room was filled with people wearing blue uniforms.

Everyone did not laugh at the simple house of Lord Duzhai, because everyone knew that this was just a temporary place for the newly released Li Duzhai to settle down.

They had heard Gao Jian say about Li Luo's origin, and they had no doubt about it. How could a young foreigner who had become a ninth-rank capital village in less than a month after coming here?

Only the children of aristocratic races can do this.

Therefore, no one looked down upon the simplicity and dilapidation of the Li family courtyard.

What they most feared was not Li Luo, nor even Li Luo's official position, but the sign of "Li Family in Renzhou".

"I am trusted by Zhengfujun and have entrusted the position of Duzhai in Mani Township. From now on, I will have to help you all the best." Li Luo said calmly.

"That's, that's!"

"Naturally do your best..."

Everyone expressed their opinions in unison.

Li Luo was quite satisfied with their attitude, "Then, please sign up with me one by one, and our colleagues will be considered to be acquainted with each other."

Next, the ten villages introduced Li Luo: Whose name is, how is the village, etc.
Chapter completed!
