Chapter 397: Tax Avoidance
Qin Zhenzhen and her companions returned to the Qian Family Village to celebrate the New Year, and the villagers greeted them with newfound admiration.
Their gratitude towards Qin Zhenzhen knew no bounds. The villagers showered them with local specialties and generous offerings of chickens, ducks, and pork.
Qin Zhenzhen had not only illuminated their path to prosperity but had also extended opportunities for the village’s youth to work in the city. As a result, numerous young individuals from the Qian Family Village had relocated to the prefectural city, finding employment within Qin Zhenzhen’s workshop. Some among them had proven their capabilities and ascended to junior managerial positions, even relocating their families to the city. They had, in essence, transcended their humble beginnings in the small village.
Once in the city, these individuals, with the support of Qin Zhenzhen and her associates, embarked on entrepreneurial endeavors, rapidly establishing themselves. Subsequently, they initiated a movement, gradually drawing in fellow town and county residents to the prefectural capital. Over the past year, they had formed a tight-knit community, comprising individuals from various walks of life.
These spirited individuals often remarked with confidence, "Meijiang Prefecture City will soon be under our dominion!" All of this progress could be attributed to the combined efforts of the Su and Qin families.
However, it should be noted that Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin did not accept the villagers’ generosity without reciprocation. They, too, presented substantial gifts to the villagers as a token of their appreciation, and these offerings were far from modest.
When the villagers encountered Su Bin, they greeted him with deep respect. Su Bin had already attained the esteemed title of High Scholar, deserving of the reverence bestowed upon him by all.
He had already become a revered figure, setting an example for all the scholars in the county.
In every examination, he consistently clinched the top spot—a feat that was far from ordinary.
The tax burden on the land owned by the High Scholar’s family had been entirely waived.
The newly appointed village chief, Qian Youfu, was highly impressed by this and promptly paid a visit to Su Bin’s residence.
