"Dad, what are they asking? Who is it?" Tao Zhen asked his father in a low voice, quite alert.

Tao Jinyan smiled and said to Tao Zhen, and said, "In this way, people don't care about us, and there is nothing to do. They are kind-hearted, see their appearance and ask us about things.

It is very concerned about whether the people are living well. They should not be bad people. If they ask something, if you know, tell them. What you know is not a secret, but you know it in our village, and the county must be

Many people know that if they go to the county, they can find out by asking for it. Since you can tell them, why bother asking them to go to the county to inquire about these things again?”

Although Tao Zhen still had doubts in his heart, he believed in his father's vision of others. In addition, he didn't know anything. Even if he knew something, he did hear it from the county. Many people in the county knew it.

, if you are not careful, you will give the two people in front of you a convenience.

I saw Tao Zhen say, "Then you ask."

"Thank you." Xue Yan first asked village chief Tao and Tao Zhen separately to express his gratitude, and then asked Tao Zhen: "Brother Tao, we couple don't want to ask anything else, just want to ask you, you usually go to the county

Do you hear any rumors in the office?”

Tao Zhen is actually a smart person. When he heard Xue Yan's question, he roughly understood and said, "I heard some rumors, but there should be only one thing you want to hear, that is, I heard the people in the yamen secretly steal.

What do you say, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both thought Tao Zhen was very smart.

Tao Zhen was still saying: "There is another thing, not what I heard, but what I saw, it was at the beginning of this month. When I went to the yamen, I also met the yamen runners who were drinking and meat, all of whom were full of red faces."

Big wine and big meat?

It is obviously said that the tax increase may be enriched.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan even thought Tao Zhen was smart.

Suddenly, Xue Yan asked, "Which academy did you study in? Why are you at home now? Are you resting today, or?"

Tao Zhen said: "I have never studied in any academy. I have learned all the words I have learned from my father since I was a child, and they are all taught by my father."

Tao Jinyan stroked his beard and smiled: "This child has loved to study since he was a child, but his family didn't have that much money. With several sons, even if he could afford to pay one to study in a college at that time, it was not fair to other sons after all, so he would just do it all.

Let me learn from me, and this child has been persisting. I am still interested in books. The books were also from my husband when he was young. I only bought him one or two new ones occasionally. In the past two years, I have no spare money due to heavy taxes.

I haven't even bought a book anymore."

Both Jiang Yue and Xue Yan said: "The village chief has a good idea to educate his children."

"You are so absurd." Tao Jinyan said this, but he was actually very happy. Among his sons, the younger son looked the most like him.

"It's really annoying," Xue Yan bowed again, "Brother Tao is so smart that he answers everything we want to know, so we don't have to ask anything anymore, we're going to say goodbye."

Jiang Yue also bowed: "Thank you."

"You are polite." Tao Jinyan and Tao Zhen both hurriedly returned the gift.

After leaving the village chief Tao's house, Jiang Yue said to Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou: "You go home first. After a cup of tea, you can go to the place where we just met you. We will give you food there.
