Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 117
There was a heavy snowfall at Shili Pai, and the whole Sunjiazhuang also entered the atmosphere of the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Sun Xin did not go out, and arranged the planting plan for next year at the village.

In the new year, he plans to further expand the scale of Sun Family Village, directly recruiting the number of customers to one thousand, and the area of ​​land to be developed will be close to [-] mu.

This is already the area of ​​arable land owned by a large-scale natural village in later generations. With 3000 villagers and their families, the population of Sunjiazhuang will approach [-] people, which can be regarded as a medium-sized large village in later generations.

This time, Sun Xin will become one of the best landlords in this area of ​​Dengzhou City after the completion of the development.

Now Sunjiazhuang’s supervisory committee system is well established, and Tao Zongwang, his three apprentices, and several heads of the village are already capable people, so although Sun Xin plans to have more work next year, it is possible to actually do things. Even easier than this year.

In addition to making plans, Sun Xin often went to Sunjiaji to inquire about the news from the caravans.

On this day, he came back in the evening after stepping on the snow again. Hu Sanniang helped Sun Xin untie the snow-wet fur, and took a cloth towel to absorb the snow water from the fur coat. Somewhat reluctant to let him be busy all day, she said:

"These businessmen come from long distances, even if they have business, they must be very far away. It's not easy for us to do it. Let's rest at home for a while. It's very cold outside these days. It's too late to go to work again in the spring." In time."

Sun Xin said with a smile: "You and Zuo have nothing to do at home. I'll go to the market to ask more questions. Finding some outside news can also relieve boredom?"

As he said, in fact, what he paid most attention to these days was the situation in the north, especially the recent war between Liao and Jin.

The Jin Kingdom in this time and space was established several decades earlier than the historical time and space in the previous life, but after careful inquiry, Sun Xin found that although the Jin Kingdom had a country name at this time, the land area it actually occupied was the same as the Jurchen tribe in the previous life and time. It doesn't make a difference either.

At this moment, the so-called Kingdom of Jin is still nothing more than a small force occupying a corner in the northeast of Liao Kingdom.

In his previous life, because he liked Water Margin, Sun Xin also carefully read the history of the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan periods. He may not remember some small historical events, but he has some impressions of the historical turning points.

At this time, it has been the fourth year of Zhenghe. According to the history of the previous life, there should be a big battle between Liao and Jin this year:
Wanyan Agu sent troops to capture Ningjiang Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom, which was located in the northeast of Jilin in later generations, and defeated Xiao Sixian, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, who came to conquer Chuhedian near Fuyu County in Jilin, and took Xianzhou near Tieling in later generations.

Only after winning these two states and counties in a row, Jin Guo could establish a firm foundation, and thus began its rapid rise in the next few years.

Knowing about the upcoming historical events, Sun Xin couldn't help asking.

At this time, there was an alliance between the Liao and Song Dynasties. Although the two countries were at war, the diplomatic relations on the surface were still maintained.

Dengzhou of the Great Song Dynasty is facing Yingzhou of the Liao Kingdom, which is the area around Yingkou, Liaoning in later generations.The two seaports of Dengying were places within the economic circle of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in later generations, and they are similar in these years. Many caravans from the Liao Kingdom will take boats from Yingzhou to Dengzhou to land.

After some inquiries, Sun Xin found out from the caravan traveling between Song and Liao that a war seemed to be about to break out in the northeast of Liao recently.

It's just that from the attitude of everyone's mouth, it is generally believed that the so-called Jin Dynasty is completely out of order now, and everyone doesn't think that the so-called Dajin's invasion is a big deal at all.

Even the Song Dynasty in the Liao Kingdom could fight with their heads down, so what kind of power is the Dajin with only a few thousand soldiers in front of the Huanghuang Daliao?

Sun Xin silently collected this information, knowing in his heart that these people would definitely be slapped in the face by the result of the war in the future.

After getting acquainted with the thinking of the people of this era, Sun Xin discovered that the Han people in the Liao Kingdom north of the Song-Liao defense line did not have any sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty at all, let alone extend their tentacles to the Liao-Jin border in the northeast of the Liao Dynasty.Therefore, with his current strength, he has no ability to change such a major historical event as the Battle of Liaojin.

But after hearing so many people's disapproval of Jin Guo, Sun Xin keenly felt that this upcoming war might be a good opportunity for him to strengthen his strength.

The Battle of Ningjiang Prefecture should have occurred in June of the next year, and it was just the twelfth lunar month, so Sun Xin still had time to think carefully about how he could use this war to make a fortune.

Just as he was thinking carefully, the New Year passed quietly.

Hu Taigong and his wife have often come to live since the home was installed with local heating. In the first lunar month, Hu Taigong and his wife came to Sunjiazhuang again.

This day, Sun Xin got up early to ask his parents how he was, and then came out to plan the newly cultivated land on the Zhuangzi. After working for half a morning, he looked up and saw a farmer leading a young man coming.

The young man was wearing a scholar's uniform, with a Confucian scarf on his head. He didn't look like a scholar, but his greasy hair and powdered face seemed like a helper who was found in a bar.

The fellow walked all the way, his eyes rolled around, and when he came in, he bowed his hands to Sun Xin and said with a smile: "I am the book office under the Qian and grain security department in Dengzhou City, and my name is Zhang Wenyuan. Put it on and watch the tax."

It was only then that Sun Xin remembered that the land in Sunjiazhuang had been reclaimed for three years, and the policy given by the government was that the newly reclaimed land would not have to pay taxes for three years. In this way, the earliest reclaimed [-] acres of land had indeed come to the end of the tax payment day this year. .

And when he heard the name of the book office, Sun Xin also became suspicious, Zhang Wenyuan?I don't know if it's the same guy as the kid who hooked up with Yan Poxi in Water Margin.But judging by the greasy corners of his mouth, even if he is not the same person, his temperament should be quite different.

Since Sun Xin, who was sent by the government to check taxes, did not dare to neglect, so he handed over the agricultural tools to Zou Run, gave a few instructions, and then washed his hands and asked Zhang Wenyuan to go to the small courtyard to talk together.

Along the way, Zhang Wenyuan and Sun Xin popularized the names of taxes collected this year. Only then did Sun Xin know that although the Water Margin world is somewhat different from the Northern Song Dynasty in the original history, the two tax laws are still implemented in terms of tax collection. Tax once.

If only the regular tax is counted, the tax paid per mu of land in summer and autumn is no more than two buckets, but according to the farm and the number of households, there is a corresponding export tax and various miscellaneous taxes on each mu of land, and these miscellaneous taxes are more than the regular tax. Not a lot.

As they talked along the way, they had already returned to Sun Xin's courtyard, where Hu Sanniang and Hu Chenshi were leading Xiaopang for a walk.

Sun Xin and his wife introduced this piece of Wenyuan. After the two parties greeted each other, the mother and daughter knew that Sun Xin wanted to talk about business, so they took their children to the back room to play.
