Give them a little funny shock

Chapter 634 You are doing well here, right? (I)

Under the temptation of money, Wu Yun still agreed to Sun Yunguang's suggestion. She would take two people with her, including of course the two vixens and the loser dog. There was nothing wrong with calling him a loser dog, after all, he was indeed a dog.

It's a female black dog.

When passing a village on the way, Hu Meiniang in the team observed the village for a while and found that it was a village where humans and demons lived together. The situation in the village was very harmonious, and the people were strong and dressed cleanly.

They are almost comparable to those ordinary families in Beijing. Of course, they are not poor, but ordinary families.

It can be seen that although the materials of the clothes are not as diverse as those of ordinary people in the capital, their physique and height are far above the average level of ordinary people in the capital.

This shows that the people in this village have almost never suffered from disasters, and they can basically eat and drink enough every day. However, because they have to do farm work, there are not many fat people. Most people are strong and tall.

Of course, there are still fat people, usually children, who play around in the village.

It seems that they don't need to do anything every day, just play around in the village, strolling here and there.

To be honest, such living conditions are already beyond the reach of most people, even in the Ming Dynasty today.

It can be seen that people living here live a pretty good life.

However, few people would go out to places far away from the village, and basically they only stay in the area near the village.

The village that the six people passed through was located in a basin in the mountains and was very large.

There are large tracts of fertile fields outside the village, but part of them are within a half-man-high fence, while the other part is outside.

Also, the fields outside were far away from the fields inside the fence and in a woods, and no one knew why.

Not far from the village, there is a not-so-narrow river with fast-flowing water. There is a stone bridge over it, which looks quite old.

Beyond this cross-border stone bridge is the depths of the mountains. Go a little further in, after a series of winding roads, you will reach the headquarters of the National Salvation Association.

From afar, you can see a group of farmers carrying farm tools, holding lanterns and wearing coarse clothes walking towards the village.

"Is this the village under the management of your National Salvation Association?" After observing the villagers in the distance for a while, Wu Yun's deputy Hu Meiniang asked Sun Yunguang beside her.

"Yes." Sun Yunguang nodded. "We are responsible for their safety in this mountain range. They need to give us a portion of the crops they grow every year as taxes."

"What is the tax rate?" Hu Meiniang asked.

"Twenty and tax one." Sun Yunguang said.

"Are there any other taxes?" Hu Meiniang asked again.

This question seemed to stump Sun Yunguang, and then she looked at Li Ruo, who had become a prisoner, with a pleading look.

The latter had a rather sour expression on her face, as if she didn't want to answer, but somehow, after hesitating for a while, she still spoke:
"Only this one, 20% tax. If the year is bad, it will be reduced to 30% or tax-free."

"However, the seeds used in the village are all the immortal seeds that you, Sister Yun, brought back from other worlds, and then fertilized with immortal fertilizers, so the annual harvest is still quite good. There are even many villages that pay excessive taxes because the warehouses can no longer hold them."

After listening to Li Ruo's explanation, Hu Meiniang nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

This tax rate is not considered high. Although the tax rate in the Ming Dynasty was 1:30 or even 1:40, there were more than one tax item in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the "overpayment of taxes" mentioned by Li Ruo, this kind of thing has never happened in the Ming Dynasty. Uh, actively overpaying taxes.

But it can be seen from this that the National Salvation Association seems to be managing this area very well.

To be honest, this is not a good thing for the imperial court. It means that this place has become a separatist power, and the people living here only know about the National Salvation Association, but not the imperial court.

But she didn't care about it, because this country was not hers, and the world was not hers either.

Whether the Zhu family can preserve their kingdom or not has nothing to do with her.

As long as the people live well, she doesn't care who is the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty today.

The National Salvation Association and the religion created by Lingjiu are actually the same in concept, but Lingjiu has to cooperate with other forces, otherwise it will not be able to maintain control over the government.

This also brings about some not-so-good things. After all, when a group becomes bigger, its internal structure will naturally no longer be as pure.

Monsters ate people, ate palace servants, and even insulted the royal family. These were actually happenings.

There is no need to wash this.

Since Wu Yun and Doraemon came to this world, the forces under Lingjiu have also undergone some changes.

Doraemon today is very different from the past.

He and Wu Yun are currently conducting a large-scale purge outside while the other is conducting internal purification and screening inside.

Relying on Doraemon's magical props and Wu Yun's absolute force.

As for kindness, Doraemon certainly still possesses these things, but he is also very clear about some people and some monsters: they must be eliminated with the most severe means.

Killing is not worth promoting, but it is also indispensable.

The one hundred acres of fields outside the village are far away from the village. The reason for opening the fields so far away from the village is because the land here is very fertile and more suitable for farming.

Just one acre of public land outside can feed two people.

As for the fields in the village, even with magical seeds and magical fertilizers, it still takes about three acres to feed two people.

The annual payment of public grain is essential, because if it is not paid for too long, the fairy fertilizer and fairy seeds distributed by the National Salvation Association will be lost, which is not a good thing.

Everyone is used to growing immortal crops with huge yields, so it would be obviously difficult for them to accept going back to grow those mundane and inferior crops.

As the saying goes: It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

The fertile fields outside the village can produce 1,100 kilograms of grain every year, which is 11 stone of grain. As for the fields inside the village, the annual output is only 300 to 400 kilograms, or 500 to 600 kilograms for two acres of land.

In order to avoid starvation, a person must eat at least one pound of food a day.

Four hundred kilograms of grain is just enough to feed one person and have some surplus.

The fields outside the village were some distance away from the inside. It was early April and it got dark quickly, so even though the group had hurried on their way as fast as possible, they still hadn't returned to the village when it was completely dark.
