After Dressing Up as an Evil Mother-in-Law, I Make the Whole Village Panic Lin Jiuniang Full Version Chapter 119 In the face of life and death, people are selfish
Chapter 119 In the face of life and death, people are selfish
Zhao Dezhi was stunned when he was asked, yes, who could be so stupid? But looking at the water flowing down the bamboo canal, Zhao Dezhi still shook his head unwillingly, "Use less, and share it out so that everyone can survive.
As long as we survive this drought, everything will be fine."
"You listen to me. The people of Anle Town will never forget your kindness. You..." "Master Zhao, don't you think what you said is false?"
Lin Jiuniang interrupted him again and shook her head, "Mr. Zhao, when it comes to life and death, people are selfish."
"We worked hard to find the water source, and as soon as we brought it down, you came over like a robber and asked us to give the water away. Why is the life of other people important, but we, the people of Anle Village, are not?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao's life is theirs, but ours is not, right?"
"It's like making us people in Anle Village not want to drink water."
As soon as Gu Dongsheng opened his mouth to support Lin Jiuniang, others also agreed. Zhao Dezhi stretched out his hand to stop the restless crowd and sighed, "Of course I will not abandon you. I will naturally support the people in other places while ensuring you have water. Besides, I will not abandon you."
Yes, there are your relatives in other villages, can you bear to watch them die of thirst? We are all from the same town, and we are all relatives. In the face of drought, we should help each other and tide over the difficulties together."
"Since Mr. Zhao has said so, if you refuse any more, it will appear that we in Anle Village are all selfish," Lin Jiuniang sighed, looking helpless, "We can give you water."
"Jiuniang, no."
"Jiuniang, I can't agree!"
...Everyone looked at Lin Jiuniang in panic and shook their heads at her. If they agreed to let the water out, what would they do in the future? Lin Jiuniang looked at them indifferently, "The water source I found and the water I diverted have your place to talk.
?Shut your mouths, do you hear me? I have the final say on this matter."
Lin Jiuniang's arrogant attitude angered everyone. Without their help, could the water be brought down? For a moment, everyone was angry and started to denounce Lin Jiuniang, with all kinds of curses, but Gu Changan stopped them.
Shut up and listen to Jiuniang on this matter."
Gu Changan had a sullen face. He had seen a lot of things, so he naturally knew what an official would say. He had to agree even if he didn't agree to it. The people couldn't compete for the official position. Only then did everyone gradually calm down. Lin Jiuniang sneered, she had already thought about this situation.
At the moment, he ignored the villagers in Anle Village and looked at Zhao Dezhi calmly: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to continue?"
Naturally, Zhao Dezhi would not miss this opportunity. He took a deep breath and said, "Lin Jiuniang, please continue."
"As you said just now, there are relatives from our Anle Village in the nearby villages. The married girls, natal family members, etc. are all close relatives whose bones are broken and connected by blood. Naturally, we can't just ignore death," Lin Jiuniang said.
His face was very calm, but then he shook his head: "But your Excellency also knows that the drought is serious now and how scarce water is. You also know. Human nature is the least able to withstand the test in the face of drought. Your Excellency must have experienced this deeply during this period.
.I’ll leave it at that, you can share the water, but you must agree to my three conditions, otherwise we will be deadlocked, and no one will be able to drink water, and we will all die of thirst together.”
Zhao Dezhi smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Jiuniang, if you have any request, just say it. Why do you need to say such scary things?"
You have gone all the way around and wasted your time just to mention this. Lin Jiuniang twitched her lips and sneered in her heart, fearing that you wouldn’t want to talk for a while! She straightened her face and said, “First, my lord, you will fund the construction of an energy building next to this place.
You have also seen the water storage tank. This water storage tank is not up to standard. People will get sick if they use such turbid water."
Zhao Dezhi agreed. It wouldn’t cost much to build a pool. “Go on.”
"Second, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, the village chief leads ten people here to collect water. After they get it back, they distribute it equally. Each village is limited to twenty buckets of water."
Zhao Dezhi calculated in his mind that twenty buckets of water was a lot, enough for everyone to survive, so he agreed. After all, at this time, it is good to have water to drink. If you want to use it as much as you want, then don't
Think more. "Third," Lin Jiuniang's expression became serious, "As compensation, Anle Village will be exempted from all taxes for the next five years."
"What!"
Zhao Dezhi opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief. Does Lin Jiuniang know what she is talking about? The crowd seemed to explode at this moment, talking excitedly. It was so lively. And Gu Changan smiled, he knew that Lin Jiuniang was not
Will easily agree to let the water out. "What, Mr. Zhao, is this last one difficult to do?"
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows. Zhao Dezhi smiled bitterly, "What do you think?"
"It is not my turn to make the final decision regarding taxation. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even if I promised you to be exempted from taxes for five years, I just lied to you and it doesn't count at all. So, Lin Jiuniang, you want me to
It is simply impossible for officials to be exempted from taxes for five years."
"No, it's not impossible, it just depends on whether you are willing or not," Lin Jiuniang shook her head. A flash of light flashed across her eyes, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "The great cause has been 30 years, and Pingxiang Town has been exempted from taxes for two years due to floods; the great cause has been 60 years.
Five years, a locust plague in Daxiong Town, and one year of tax exemption. These are all the local officials agreed to report to the court. There are several more cases that I know of, Mr. Zhao, do you need me to continue?"
Seeing that Zhao Dezhi wanted to retort, Lin Jiuniang did not give him a chance, but continued: "With this water, we can save the people of Anle Town, which means we can save the roots of Anle Town. So, I don't need to say more about how great the contribution is."
.”
"In addition, if we don't let the water go out, we can plant crops. Mr. Zhao, tell yourself, can the crops at this time be exchanged for more money?"
Zhao Dezhi was speechless by Lin Jiuniang. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's impossible in five years. I'll try my best in one year."
Anyway, due to the drought, this year's taxes will definitely be exempted. "Master Zhao, do you think I don't understand anything?"
Lin Jiuniang looked contemptuous, "You will reduce or reduce this year's taxes even if you don't tell me. Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"During the drought, the imperial court's taxes will be reduced or reduced, otherwise it will force the people to rebel. How many of the victims can afford such heavy taxes?"
"Lin Jiuniang be careful what you say!"
Zhao Dezhi looked serious, "Are these words allowed to be said casually?"
"It's just an analogy," Lin Jiuniang rolled her eyes, "One price, tax reduction for three years after the disaster. If you agree, you can come to pick up the water today. If not, we can keep the land to make money."
Zhao Dezhi smiled bitterly, "Lin Jiuniang, there is no room for further negotiation?"
Lin Jiuniang chuckled and raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Zhao, you won't make a loss in this business, trust me."
"Lin Jiuniang, you said it is easy," Zhao Dezhi gritted his teeth, and a flash of struggle flashed across his face, "If I accept this matter, I'm afraid this black gauze hat will be lost, but..." His eyes changed from struggling to
Perseverance: "For the sake of the people of Anle Town, I am willing to take this risk, so I agree to reduce taxes for three years."
Lin Jiuniang's smile became even brighter, "Sir Zhao is indeed a good official who is dedicated to the people, I admire him. But what you say is unfounded. Your Excellency, you don't mind writing it down in black and white and stamping it with an official seal, right?"
Zhao Dezhi smiled bitterly again. Sure enough, she was a difficult woman to get along with. She even thought of such details. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay!"
