Chapter 311 The whole village moves...
Chapter 311 The whole village moves...
Ah Cai was chewing the delicious mutton hotpot, but her ears were perked up, listening carefully to the chatter of the villagers.
Suddenly, the word "tax" came into her ears.
what?
The Novice Village actually collects taxes?
This is really something new!
Her eyes widened, and she muttered to herself in confusion, "How come I never knew there was such a thing?"
So, Ah Cai quickly recited his system in his mind, and then asked the other party in his group:
"Hey, 00541, where can we find out about the tax collection in the Novice Village? Tell me quickly!"
However, 00541 did not seem to want to reveal this information easily, and replied angrily:
"Hmph, who told you to just stand by and watch someone die? You're asking me now? I won't tell you!"
Hearing this, A Cai was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but there was nothing she could do.
At this moment, Tong Jiayuan said:
"Master, don't listen to its nonsense. I was just communicating with it properly.
In fact, the issue of taxes is very simple, and they will be summarized once every quarter.
Just check your mailbox, you might find relevant notifications or attachments! 』
When Ah Cai heard this, she thought it made sense and immediately opened the mailbox on the panel.
Oh my goodness!
You don’t know this by looking at it, you’re shocked when you look at it!
The screen was filled with countless unread emails, which was really dazzling.
These emails come from various sources, including important official news, reminders sent by the system, greetings and blessings from friends she summoned, and so on.
What’s even more exaggerated is that even Xu Ruo sent her more than a dozen emails about puppets.
In short, in the past hundred years, Acai has almost never read a piece of mail seriously, so the number of accumulated letters is naturally astonishingly large.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less. She directly clicked on the system email and quickly received the attachment.
When Ah Cai saw the contents of the attachment, she couldn't help but be surprised:
"Wow! The tax revenue from the Novice Village Lord for three months is so generous! A full 10,000 gold coins, 30 trillion silver coins, and 45 trillion copper coins! Plus, there are two equipment treasure chests!"
As she spoke, Ah Cai reached out and gently rubbed her cheeks, which were slightly hot from excitement, and murmured to herself: "Is all this true..."
Grandma Ma looked at the silly Ah Cai and said, "Money comes from the sky? What are you grinning at? Eat it quickly, or it will get cold!"
"Oh!"
Ah Cai came back to her senses, ate hot pot while opening her emails and reading them slowly.
Fresh and tender lamb, raised in Wangyou Valley.
The beef was raised in Wangyou City specifically for the Qin soldiers.
The fish and other seafood were brought back from Linghai Village.
The vegetables are grown in several newly built glass greenhouses next to my orchard.
Everything has aura,...
Ah Cai looked at each ingredient and turned to ask Grandma Ma, "I'll ask Ah Yuan to re-plan and centralize all the villagers' houses. That'll save a lot of land, and we can build some small villas and apartments for rent..."
Grandma Ma thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think someone has taken a fancy to Taibai Village and wants us to relocate as a whole so they can move in?"
A Cai nodded. These people had all kinds of tricks, and she could solve them secretly, but that would expose her true colors.
Grandma Ma frowned and said, "There's no time left!"
Ah Cai said with a smile, "I have the props and can transform the entire village in 10 days."
Grandma Ma stretched out her arms and looked up at Village Chief Rong who was chatting idly.
"Laorong, have all the villagers pack up their belongings and temporarily move to the B&B."
Village chief Rong was in high spirits when he was stunned for a moment.
Packing and moving?
"Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Grandma Ma nodded. "Do you remember the people who came to visit last time? If you don't want the entire village to move, then hurry home and pack up and stay in a B&B."
Hua Lao turned to look at Grandma Ma, and seeing that she was confident, he nodded in agreement. Everyone knew what Grandma Ma was capable of!
He turned around and shouted, "Ajiu, do you have any big bags in your guesthouse? Find some for me. Just stack them together and put them in your backpack. Bring them to my guesthouse..."
Tong Jiajiu nodded quickly, "No problem, we have those extra large cardboard boxes here, we can put everything in them, just put the backpack directly in it."
The so-called big boxes are made by multifunctional processing workshops using rice straw and other materials. The big ones can hold the size of a truck and are used for storefronts. They are very useful for moving.
Village chief Rong quickly followed and asked for 99 super large boxes. He quickly finished the spicy hot pot and went home to pack it up.
The entire village, all the villagers' homes, were packing up and preparing to move.
At this moment, there are not only backpacks there, but what is more eye-catching is the huge boxes that the B&B specially launched to decorate the storefront.
No one expressed any other opinions about this. Everyone was just busy stuffing the items into the huge box!
Village chief Rong stood aside and glanced at several households. Most of their families lived and worked in the city and had not returned to the village for a long time.
If we just give them the new houses, why are they so unwilling?
He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something important.
At this time, Tong Jia'er looked at Village Chief Rong and made a suggestion: "How about this, we just pack all their things into boxes for them and then put them in the warehouse.
Or, when planning, we can just avoid their houses and ignore them. Living in our new house has nothing to do with them!"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Village Chief Rong gently stroked his cheek with his hand and said with a slightly worried expression:
"I'm worried that these people are too shameless. If they see us living in a brand new house, they might start to think of taking a piece of the pie. Then your company will be the one to suffer!"
Tong Jiaer smiled slightly after hearing this and responded nonchalantly, "Don't worry. If we really need to sue, we have a professional team and lawyers. We'll just follow the legal procedures step by step. I'm afraid this lawsuit won't be settled for several years!"
Village Chief Rong nodded in agreement, but then added, "There's no need to bother your company with this. Don't we still have Old Lady Ma in our village? With her around, those people definitely won't dare to make a move!"
Tong Jiaer's mouth widened upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Wow, it turns out this old lady Ma has such prestige in the village that she can even play a role in maintaining order! This is really great!"
On that quiet and mysterious night, it seemed as if an invisible force drove the men, women, young and old in the entire village to flock to the annex building on the left side of the B&B.
The moonlight falls like water on the streets of the ancient village, reflecting people's hurried figures and expectant faces.
The whole village was empty, leaving only empty houses and silent country roads, as if telling something.
At the same time, Village Chief Rong, carrying the expectations and trust of all villagers, solemnly walked into the meeting room to meet with Tong Jiayuan and representatives of the Tong Group behind him.
After in-depth discussions and exchanges, the two parties finally reached a consensus and signed a contract of great significance.
According to the contract, the Tong family will undertake the task of comprehensively renovating the entire village.
In the future, brand new villas and exquisite apartments will rise here, welcoming tourists and residents from all over the world with a brand new look.
More importantly, the contract clearly states that the operating rights of these newly built properties belong to the Tong family, but at the same time the village can also obtain a lucrative 30% profit from them.
This undoubtedly injected strong impetus into the development of the village and also provided every villager with more income.
Ah Cai handed the [Hourglass] to Tong Jiayuan, "Ten days should be enough. My brows have been twitching the whole time. I can't explain the feeling."
Tong Jiayuan nodded, "Just remove the firewood from under the cauldron!"
Tong Jiaren also echoed, "I'll do the secret arrangements. I'll find out who's behind it and then just push them in and operate the sewing machine. The conditions there are pretty good now!"
Ah Cai tugged at the little ball on her hat and said, "These people are so annoying. How did they find us here?"
Tong Jiayuan replied with a smile, "In the current dungeon, not only is Grandma Ma a witch, but there are also many people who can tell fortunes..."
Ah Cai was stunned for a moment. This damn fortune teller...
