Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan knew that Lu Zilin was not a good person and had done many bad things.

However, he didn't want to kill him yet.

Because killing Lu Zilin is useless.

If Lu Zilin is gone, there will still be Bai Zilin, Tian Zilin, Zhao Zilin... There are so many people like him in the world that it is impossible to kill them all.

Moreover, the reason why Lu Zilin is bad is mostly due to the system.

As a township leader, he has monopoly power and lacks supervision, so he is bound to become corrupt. It might have been like this no matter who was in that position.

Therefore, killing Lu Zilin will not solve the fundamental problem.

Moreover, although Lu Zilin is bad, he still has some bottom line. If you were someone else, you might not be able to do better than him.

For example, he has never killed anyone; although he and Bai Jiaxuan are mortal enemies, he has never thought of putting Bai Jiaxuan to death; when he saw Bai Xiaowen begging on the street, he even wanted to help him find a job...

In Xiang Nan's view, Lu Zilin is a bit like Jiumozhi in "Dragon", they are both poor people trapped by the shackles of fame and fortune.

Finally, Lu Zilin himself was frightened crazy when Yue Weishan, Tian Fuxian and others were shot at the public trial after liberation.

In the play, he escapes death.

In the book, after he went crazy, he couldn't control his urination and defecation, and wet his pants every day. His wife, Lu He, never let him go to the kang again, and kicked him out to live with the dogs every night. He was so hungry that he fought with dogs for food every day. Later, one winter, he froze to death in his firewood room.

Having such an ending is already retribution for him.

Xiang Nan knew how he would end up, so naturally he was not prepared to harm him again. Of course, the premise is that he didn't take the initiative to provoke. Otherwise, Xiang Nan will let him know why Peach Blossom is so red.

…

Lu Zilin's security center opened with great fanfare, and the whole village was treated to a good meal.

At the banquet, Tian Fuxian announced the appointment of Lu Zilin, and he was appointed as the township leader of Bailu Village.

Now is the Republic of China, and the imperial court has been restructured. The county magistrate was changed to the county magistrate, and a warehouse was set up under the county. The head of the warehouse was the general township leader. A security post was set up under the warehouse, and the head of the security post was Xiang Yue.

Tian Fuxian is the general township of Bailucang, and Lu Zilin is the township of Bailuyuan, which governs ten villages in Bailu Village. It is said that the official is bigger than the clan leader.

"Is Lu Zilin so generous that he invites the whole village to dinner? Why don't I believe it? How can he be so kind?" Lu San couldn't help but question when he heard that Lu Zilin was hosting a banquet for guests.

"There's nothing to believe. The wool comes from the sheep." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "Just watch. In a few days, this security station will collect taxes."

Lu San was stunned and nodded.

Later, Xiang Nan's words spread.

First, the wool comes from the sheep, so the villagers who had a slight affection for Lu Zilin because of the banquet guests now dislike him;

Second, the security office is about to collect taxes, and the people are beginning to be worried again. They don't know how much taxes they will collect this time, and how much they will be punished!

…

Sure enough, within two days, Lu Zilin summoned the heads of the ten villages under his jurisdiction and conveyed the news that the imperial court was going to collect taxes. "Each village will check the acres of land and collect a head tax."

"Zilin, did you eat a hole in your last treat?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.

Lu Zilin performed official duties for the first time and conveyed the county's order. His mood was sacred and solemn, and the official's airs were also very dignified.

But when Bai Jiaxuan said this, he was immediately defeated. He was very upset, but he still managed to say, "Oh, don't talk nonsense, this is County Magistrate He's order!"

"Everyone, we have official affairs and private matters are private. Things that belong to brothers and everyone's personal relationships can be discussed and handled easily. If they are official matters, they must be implemented in accordance with the rules of the county government. County Magistrate He has repeatedly said that we must obey the laws. , establish a new order." He emphasized his tone again and continued,

Someone asked: “What should someone do if they really don’t have money to pay?”

Lu Zilin said: "Let them think of a way." Someone else said: "What if you can't think of a way? Now there is no harvest. There was a drought last autumn. Most people in the village can't get enough new wheat to eat..."

Lu Zilin said: "As long as you think about it, you can always think of a solution. After you return to the village, you must be tougher."

Seeing him say this, everyone had no choice but to stop talking.

The villagers heard the news soon and praised Xiang Nan's prediction for being accurate.

"After all, he is a little fairy. He really knows things like a god. If he says he has to pay taxes, he really has to pay taxes."

"The little god can do calculations, so he's right. This security office is just a tax collecting yamen."

"Lu Zilin is living in poverty. Taitama is no longer a thing. He opened the yamen to the village."

"I said, why are you inviting the whole village to dinner in the first place? I've been holding back my emotions for a long time and I'm going to harm everyone!"

"The farmers' uprising has just ended, County Magistrate Shi has just been transferred, and the new County Magistrate He is collecting taxes. Why are you not afraid of them?"

"Hey, my arm can't twist Da Bai. When have I ever seen an official afraid of the common people?"

"Now that we have no business, how can we have the money to pay taxes? Let's go to the clan leader and let him lead us to fight again."

They talked about it one after another, and then they all went to find Bai Jiaxuan.

But Bai Jiaxuan refused to come forward this time.

the reason is simple. The reason why I led everyone to make trouble last time was to establish my own prestige in the clan and make myself worthy of the name of the clan leader.

Now that he has become the clan leader, his prestige has been established. Moreover, he actually experienced life and death in prison. For the whole clan, he has done enough.

But the performance of the villagers was not what he expected. He risked his life for everyone, but when he wanted to build the temple, no one was willing to contribute money or effort.

Now when something happens, he, the clan leader, is asked to come forward. There is no one in the world who does this. That's why he didn't bother to pay attention. He just closed the courtyard door and no one was there. When asked, he said he had a headache.

Seeing that Bai Jiaxuan refused to come forward, the villagers went to the Laozu Temple to find Xiang Nan.

I hope Xiang Nan, this little god, can help them stand up to fight the tax.

However, before they arrived at the Laozu Temple, Xiang Nan had already left through the back door, and asked Lu San to tell the villagers, "He went down the mountain to travel and is not in the temple now."

The villagers naturally didn't believe it. After searching twice in the temple, they didn't see Xiang Nan, so they had no choice but to leave.

…

The so-called arm could not twist Daxi, but in the end the villagers had no choice but to pay taxes and grain one after another.

Even the Ancestral Temple in Xiangnan is no exception and must pay a poll tax.

Fortunately, there were only three of them, Xiang Nan, Lu San, and Zhang Fenglan, so the poll tax was not much money. Fortunately, the Laozu Temple does not own any land, so there is no need to pay land tax.

Lu San felt very happy when he saw it. When he wanted to buy land, Xiang Nan stopped him. He was still confused. Now he finally figured it out.

If he buys land, he won't be able to pay all the taxes. Now he doesn't have this trouble and is much better off than those who have land.
