space farmer girl busy farming

Chapter 1701 The same wave of refugees ([-])

She stayed at home, besides being busy with her homework every day, she was still thinking about how to gather wool.

The fleece must be squeezed, but the timing of this squeeze must be grasped, and it is best for them to voluntarily pull it out.

Qi Ke looked through the information collected by various farms under his name in the past year, and after extracting the repeated keywords, he found the key point of pulling wool.

Hidden field.

The magic weapon for landlords to evade taxes and hide their land.

The more powerful the landlord is, the more land is hidden, and the actual possession does not match what is recorded in the imperial court. If no one pursues the well-known things, Qi Ke will be impolite. The difference lies in her The eyes are the best wool that can be squeezed.

The tactics that were only used against the three landlords in Luxi Village can also be used on the rich and small households in Fuxian County, especially the few big clan households.

Especially now is the local autumn harvest season, and the autumn tax is coming soon. These wealthy households want to evade tax money and also want to cover up the granary.

Throughout Fuxian County, rich landlords who own more than [-] mu of land in the yamen's booklets have been checked by Qi Ke's maids over the past year about the amount of land they actually control, the specific location, and the main output.

What Qi Ke wants to take stock of is who owns the land near the county border.

The refugees are about to arrive at the county within one or two days, no more than three days at the most. The official army is blocking the official road, but there are still many trails that only those who live nearby can bypass the official road and enter the county. Once these refugees found such a small road, the farms on the edge of the county would not be the first to suffer.

That being the case, let the owners of these granges be the first wave of wool.

While Qi Ke was busy doing desk work, the vanguard of the Zhang County refugee group who had been waiting nervously finally arrived in front of the camp blocking the way.

A team composed entirely of young and strong men, hungry and thirsty and exhausted, stood in front of the rejecting horse, impatiently wanting to climb over directly, and the archers who were waiting behind the rejecting horse swished shot a round of arrows.

After shooting down the person who tried to climb the horse, the excited people in the back row finally calmed down.

They went all the way north from Zhang County, and they walked smoothly, even the government could not stop them. They thought they would be able to reach Fu County for a meal. It would be even better if they could bring some food home. Fu County is so rich. Where there is, there must be money and food.

Then he was stopped by a large camp.

People walking in the back of the crowd saw the people in front stop and did not leave, and they couldn't see what happened in the front. They looked around blankly and saw a county monument standing on the side of the road in the distance. They couldn't read. But I can guess that it must be at the junction of Fuxian County and Zhangxian County, and that piece must be the Fuxian County Stele.

"Why don't you go ahead?"

"I don't know." Some people used tiptoes, but there were too many heads in front of them, and they couldn't see anything except the back of their heads. "I can't see, it's too far away."

"Have we reached the county border?"

"That's right, it should be. You see, the big stone in front is the county monument?"

"Then why don't you go?"

"That's right, it's still dark, what are you doing?"

"I'm starving to death. I eat wild vegetables every day, and my mouth is bitter. I heard that everyone in Fuxian County eats white rice and meat every day. It's much better than we in Zhangxian County."
