Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 174: Outside the village

"Thank you? You are a student of the church, and of course you need to take good care of it."

Praia waved his hand inadvertently, mentioning this, the priest happened to think of another thing, "That's right ... this matter, but also to discuss with Everett ... Well, Los, you go and ask Steward. "

"Okay, teacher." Wu Qingchen walked out of the church.

As the core of the village rule, the residence of the director of Everett, like the church, is also in the center of the village of Acre.

Within ten minutes, Wu Qingchen returned to the church.

"Good day, Praia." Following Wu Qingchen, Everett also stepped into the church.

The steward behind him followed his son and four police officers: "Looking for me at this time, should the tax increase in the autumn be done?"

"It did, but now ..." Rev. Praia shook his head. "Looks like we need to count again."

"Why? What's wrong?" Master Everett's expression suddenly became serious: "What happened?"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing ..." Rev. Praia smiled. "I just talked about it with Los, and Andre Jr., and I don't think tax increases are the best way ..."

He signaled Everett to sit down, and Praia also sat in the seat in the front of the church, slowly speaking the idea of ​​"turning taxes into fees."

"Okay!"

The advanced experience from the 21st century on the earth is bound to be extraordinary.

Just listening to the beginning, Everett brightened his eyes. When he heard it, the master steward had his eyes lighted, listening to the complete thoughts and specific methods of operation. The master's face was full of excited smiles. .

"good, very good!"

Everett hits the festival and admires: "Nice and good, compared to this, the tax increase is really bad!"

Anyone can see the excitement of the steward.

How can you not get excited?

Just look at Master's pomp at this time.

Since the news of the tax increase began circulating in the village, the steward took his son with him wherever he went. Even the church, which was only a few minutes away, did not forget to bring four police officers with him.

This is the experience of the blood and tears lessons of the ancestors.

When he was about the same age as Andrei, when Everett watched the collection of taxes in the autumn, he saw with his own eyes that an unusually well-behaved farmer stood by the identified grain-growing hole and suffered several times. After the whip, he grabbed a dung fork from the villagers next to him and stabbed into Uncle Everett's chest fiercely.

At that time, the desperate look of the farmer walking to the Tibetan grain cave step by step, and the fierce gaze after making a decision, even after so many years, still firmly engraved in Everett's heart.

And this scene, according to Everett's father, is not the worst situation.

In the mouth of Everett's father, a village that announced a "sun tax" and "raining tax" because of a shortfall in successive years. When the implementation began in the fall, the steward, pastor, village head, clerk, police officer The boss, as well as the farmer, tax officer, and herald who supervised the tax collection. The masters and prospective masters of the entire village were stopped by the villagers and **** with ropes pulled out from the church and the steward. They set the fire alive. Burned to ashes.

The childhood nightmare always haunts Everett's supervisor.

This time, the "honeycomb tax" is expected to be added to the village of Aikeli. According to the agreed results, the masters will of course receive most of the derived income from the increase in buckwheat production, but also leave a small portion of the income to the villagers.

Theoretically, such a win-win approach should not trigger too bad incidents, but no one is sure whether there should be any villagers who should see the Rolling Branches earlier and suddenly want to not develop.

"So ..." Looking at Evelette's expression, Rev. Praia said, "Do you agree to sell honeycombs?"

"of course!"

Everett nodded without hesitation.

Even if it's a little easier for the autumn harvest-every time the tax collection season, the cautious master will deliberately wear a thick leather under the robe-Yvrit will agree with Praia Pastor thought.

"it is good!"

Master Praia clapped his hands.

In this way, the regime and the party committee ... alas, the church and the world agreed.

Next is the process of the Standing Committee.

In the afternoon.

There are guest rooms made of stones on all sides.

Reverend Praia, Dean Everett, Wu Qingchen, Head of O'Connor, Secretary of Thor, Police Chief of Espier, Little Andre, Seven Giants of Acre Village, sat around the wooden table.

Since the last time the parish was announced, since the announcement of the church ’s wishes, Wu Qingchen has obtained the qualifications for village affairs. Moreover, since he has reached the age of “16,” Wu Qingchen ’s seat is second only to the pastor and dean. Authority and have a fairly high level of say.

However, at this meeting, Wu Qingchen ’s authority and right to speak did not have much room to play. After listening to Rev. Praia ’s strategy of “turning taxes into fees”, the attendees in the meeting room immediately agreed that there were no waves, so The proposal was approved by all votes.

Two days later.

March 10, 0001.

Wu Qingchen entered the Middle Ages this round, the ninth day.

At noon, Wu Qingchen was walking on a rural path.

"Master Los ..."

In the distance, a villager stood by the road.

Waiting for Wu Qingchen to pass by, the villagers bowed deeply: "Lord Master, kind, thank you for making the tax increase a honeycomb sale."

"Well ..." Wu Qingchen nodded: "Work hard, get more wheat in the fall."

This is a situation that often occurs when Wu Qingchen appears in the villagers' vision over the past few days.

After the discussions in the meeting room, the management staff of Aikeli Village frequently appeared beside the free people's land, holding and pointing at the sheepskin roll, according to the number of honeycombs, the distance from the land, and the increase of production land. Data such as the size of the original honeycomb tax, etc., carefully calculate the food that villagers should pay for honeycomb purchases.

Either the manager or the village head, these managers of the village of Aikeli have their own close villagers. The changes from deliberate and inadvertent, from tax increases to charges, and the general sales plan of the entire village, soon spread. Come out and be informed by the villagers.

With the insistence of Rev. Praia and Mr. Everett, the purchase of honeycomb grain was a grade lower than the original planned tax increase. Villagers could not think of the effects of violent resistance in other villages. They only knew that Wu Qingchen persuaded After that, the food I needed to hand over was reduced a lot.

At the same time, from the information disclosed by the management, the villagers also concluded that this time when the autumn harvest, there will no longer be a wolf-like police officer outside the village, as long as they hand over enough honeycomb food , Everyone can enjoy the remaining honeycomb yield increase effect.

You do n’t have to do everything to squeeze time for digging; you do n’t have to dig in and think about hiding from your neighbors in the middle of the night. As long as you work hard, the extra food can be safely at home!

Under such circumstances, Wu Qingchen's gratitude can be imagined.

"Master Los ..."

Several other villagers bowed far away.

Wu Qingchen nodded in return, showing pity in her heart.

Just bear with me, it won't take long for me to truly face your gratitude.

————————

It was still that day, in the evening.

Wu Qingchen walked into the church again.

Prayer, review, teaching, riding ...

After a series of routine procedures, Wu Qingchen and Xiao Andre began to clean up the church. Rev. Praia stepped out of the side door and, after a short while, squeezed a sheepskin and rolled back.

"Loss ..." Rev. Praia beckoned. "Come and see this."

"What's wrong, teacher?" Wu Qingchen came over and took the sheepskin roll in the hands of Rev. Praia. With just a glance, Wu Qingchen saw that this is exactly the villagers of Aikeli Village after several rounds of consultations and adjustments. We buy "price lists" for honeycombs.

"Take a closer look ..." Pastor Praya shoved the sheepskin into Wu Qingchen's hands: "Look at the people you promised, if anything went wrong."

Wu Qingchen took a closer look. On the sheepskin roll, the first name was William / Moore, his family in the Middle Ages, and the next was Zhuangtou O'Connor, the clerk Thor and the police chief Espier. Relatives, then the names of craftsmen such as plow handlebars, handlebar styles, brewers, and then old neighbors in the medieval world such as Richard, Freeman, Old Holt ...

According to the order of the list, from the almost non-existent honeycomb section of William / Moore, to the symbolic charge of the relatives of Zhuang First Class, to the halving of the craftsman's family ... The honeycombs that villagers in the entire Aikeli village should pay Paragraphs are clearly graded and grow all the way.

"Ok……"

Corresponding to the objects marked by the staff group in detail, Wu Qingchen finely adjusted the amount and position of the three villagers, and then looked up: "That's almost it."

"Look again," Rev. Praia said, "see clearly ... if you don't say it now, you'll be sent to the parish and Baron's Castle later!"

Wu Qingchen watched it again. There are shorthand and shorthand courses carefully instructed by the training group. The results of Wu Qingchen's second browsing obviously will not change.

"Okay ..." Rev. Praia took the sheepskin: "So ... Go and call Pamela."

"Okay, teacher." Wu Qingchen bowed slightly.

"Wait ..." Just as Wu Qingchen was about to turn around and leave, Pastor Praia suddenly said, "... Loss, don't leave ... Andre, go and call Pamela."

"Okay, teacher."

Andre bowed slightly and quickly left the church.

It was in the evening when the sunset shone obliquely from the church door to the altar.

After the podium, under the shroud of the sun, Rev. Praia walked back and forth, and after a long time, Wu Qingchen suddenly said, "Loss, do you want to see what it looks like outside the village of Akeli?"
