Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 253 Going to the Countryside to Collect Grain
After four months, the construction of [-] new granaries in each of the three counties has been completed.

Finally, it is worthwhile to solve the problem of grain storage before the new grain comes down.

At the same time, the collection of grain taxes in various provinces has also begun in full swing.

Nanli County - suddenly county.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
Early in the morning, suddenly the sound of gongs and drums sounded in various towns and towns in the county.

Accompanied by the loud shouts of the government servants in Huer County.

"The spring tax collection in the spring of 24 has started. Every household should prepare tax and food as soon as possible. Starting tomorrow, the yamen will go to the villages and towns to collect food. Don't miss it!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
These yamen servants were beating gongs and drums as they walked, informing the countryside about tomorrow's food collection day.

At the head of Fengshou Village, there happened to be Lao Litou and Xiaonannan's grandfather and grandson living there.

The little girl hadn't woken up early in the morning but was woken up by the yelling of the servants. When she walked out of the room and came to the yard, she saw that her grandfather had woken up a long time ago and was doing a set of exercises slowly.

This is a health maintenance skill that my grandfather learned from an old Taoist priest. It is said that exercising on the spot can prolong life.

Old Litou, who was punching, suddenly saw his precious granddaughter get up, a smile appeared on his face, he stopped his hands, came to the little girl, rubbed the little girl's little head, and asked with a smile:

"Why did you get up? It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

The little girl shook her head: "I can't sleep anymore, it's so noisy outside, what happened to grandpa?"

Old Li replied indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that the spring tax will start to be collected.

We had a one-year tax holiday before, but now that time has passed, we have to start paying taxes.

So the yamen sent people down to publicize it, lest some people forget to prepare. "

"Pay taxes?!"

The little girl's face suddenly turned pale?
She remembered how her parents and grandpa would look sad every year when they were in the customs.

There are also those vicious yamen servants rushing into the house to search for all valuable things, saying that they are used to deduct taxes.

Seeing the little girl's face changed drastically, Old Li naturally knew what she was thinking, sighed, gently stroked his granddaughter's little head and comforted him: "Okay, niece, don't be afraid, our family can handle it. Tax, grandpa secretly tells you, grandpa and brothers are amazing, the yield of those poisonous people is only two hundred catties per mu of land, and the yield of one mu of land planted by grandpa can be a full three hundred catties!

Because our family has to pay three and a half years of tax to make up the debt owed by the government office, it is [-]% tax.

In other words, we only need to pay 270 catties of grain per mu of land.

Our family has [-] mu of land, as long as we pay the tax of [-] catties, our family can still have a full [-] catties of grain left! "

"Six hundred catties?"

When the little girl heard the words, she counted with her fingers.

"One gets one, one gets two, the little girl can eat three pancakes a day, ninety pancakes a month, and eats a year..."

Counting and counting, the little girl can't go on.

He raised his head and looked at Old Li helplessly.

This immediately made Old Li laugh.

Because their Huer County was the first group of counties developed by Nanli County to be brought under the control of Yunzhou County, so when Yunzhou County passed the school education in all counties, Huer County became the first batch of counties with schools.

The little girl is also nine years old this year. After the school started to recruit students, Old Li immediately sent the little girl to the school.

It's just that the little girl's study days are short, and now she can only add and subtract within ten.

He can only recognize his own name and a few simple common characters.

So once the quantity goes up, the little girl doesn't even understand how many pancakes she can eat with the remaining six hundred catties.

After laughing for a while, the little girl who laughed straight away became angry from embarrassment, puffed up her face, put her hands on her waist and glared at Old Li Tou, then Old Li Tou gradually stopped smiling and said: "Hahaha, good Come on, little girl won't be angry, grandpa won't laugh anymore, hahaha..."

Little girl: "..."

"Hmph! Bad grandpa!"

Old Li couldn't help it, his granddaughter was so cute.

After calming down for a while, he finally calmed down his mood.

Explained to the little girl: "You don't have to forget it, if you eat six hundred catties of grain, you can't finish it in a year."
One catty of flour can make six pancakes, and if more than 600 catties were replaced with flour, it would be more than 600 pancakes, which can bury our little girl! "

"Three thousand six hundred bread!"

When the little girl heard this, her head froze. Although she still didn't understand the concept of [-] doughnuts, she knew it meant a lot.

In her mind, the image of a large meal of bread falling from the sky and burying her had already begun to appear involuntarily.

I couldn't help laughing hehehe.

so good!Endless pancakes!

Don't worry about being hungry anymore.

It would be fine if...the parents are here...

Suddenly thinking of her parents, the happy little girl fell silent all of a sudden, and her whole face was also full of sadness.

Old Li found out at once, thinking of the present day, and thinking of the past.

He also thought of his son and daughter-in-law, and hugged the little girl into his arms, the grandfather and grandson were speechless for a long time.

The past is gone, now look to the future.

After the yamen servants beat gongs and drums, the Song people in the entire Huer County remembered that it was time to pay taxes.

Compared with those who used to be flustered as soon as the tax payment day came in the customs, now when they suddenly heard that it was time to pay taxes, everyone seemed much calmer.

Because under the command of King Yun, everyone knows that there are no other exorbitant taxes, and each family has a lot of land, and the more people there are, the more people there are.

In addition, this place has three crops a year, even if they pay [-]% of the tax, the leftover food will allow them to live through the year in peace and there will be more.

So everyone didn't panic at all.

Moreover, for Shendu people, one mu of land can yield about two hundred catties.

But for the Song people who have served the land for most of their lives, they know how to cultivate the land intensively to increase the yield of the land.

The output value per mu of most Song people is much higher than that of Shendu people.

The yield per mu is high, and although the representatives pay more taxes, they also keep more food, so everyone is still very active.

Knowing that the yamen will go to the countryside to collect grain tomorrow, every household hastily started to prepare.

This was their first meal after they came here, and everyone was a little flustered.

Because although King Yun's order is not to pay any exorbitant taxes, they often come into contact with small government servants, and most of the exorbitant taxes in those places are added by the county lords themselves.

So they felt a little uneasy, wondering if the county magistrate of Suer County would be like this, and some superficial rules when paying taxes also made them feel a little bit thinking, so they couldn't help but prepare more when preparing food taxes Some, I'm afraid there won't be enough.

In such speculation, the time soon came the next morning.

Early in the morning, the yamen servants who came down from the yamen to collect grain began to yell at the entrance of the village beating gongs and drums.

Soon the whole village knew the news, and each household rushed to the entrance of the village one after another, carrying the grain taxes that they needed to pay.

In the blink of an eye, a long queue formed at the entrance of the village.

There are people carrying, carrying, or pushing carts to deliver food everywhere.
