Farmhouse full garden sweet-scented osmanthus

Chapter 457 About making money

The sweet-scented osmanthus who was named looked up at Chu Yannian, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little muttering, it is said that every family harvests a lot of food, why is life so tight every year?" Woolen cloth?"

As soon as Osmanthus fragrans said this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Osmanthus fragrans laughed dumbfounded at this moment, and asked stupidly: "What are you all laughing at?"

In the end, it was Chu Zhenghai who laughed and said, "Girl, it's not because the son exempted us from taxes and food, so our family can have so much food!"

Yup!

Osmanthus suddenly realized, why did she forget such an important thing as taxation and food?

Every year, the tax and food that each household has to hand over to the court accounts for [-]% of the harvest. This is not to say that some grain officials who collect grain deliberately make things difficult, or they want to collect benefits.

After the tax is paid, some seeds will be saved for next year's farming. Wouldn't the remaining food be barely enough to make ends meet?

"It seems that either the imperial court should lower the tax rate, or it can only increase the production of grain." Osmanthus fragrans muttered to herself.

"Girl, what are you talking about?" Chu Zhenghai and Osmanthus sat opposite each other, Osmanthus's voice was not loud, so Chu Zhenghai didn't listen carefully.

"Ah, it's nothing, master, I mean, let's write the paper later! Then I'll send half of the money to you and my fourth uncle's house tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" Osmanthus didn't mention it. What he said to himself just now changed the topic.

On the contrary, when Chu Zhenghai heard that he wanted to issue paperwork, he straightened his face immediately, "You girl, you are a family, why do you need paperwork? When will you need food, just go and bear it."

Seeing the misty eyes of Chu Zhenghai, Osmanthus knew that the old man had drunk a little too much, and she didn't bother with him. The matter of this paperwork was just left on the wine table. Osmanthus planned to wait for the daytime tomorrow Mr. Chu woke up, and then mentioned the paperwork.

Osmanthus doesn't believe that a family doesn't need to make paperwork, etc. Osmanthus of Chu Lixin's family doesn't worry about anything, but the couple of Chu Lishi's family, and the Xu family who are the main house, are not so peaceful. However, if this document is not established, something may happen later.

That night, after the whole family had packed up and lay down, Osmanthus just sat by the candle and began to carefully check the money in her hand.

Counting the pile of scraps of silver and copper plates that Ling Chenyi rewarded him with, plus the rest of his family's silver coins, there are 72 taels and 350 taels in total.

At first glance, this money seems to be quite a lot, but if it is really allocated to practical purposes, it is very poor.

"Osmanthus, what's the matter, not enough money?" Meihua spread the quilt, took off her clothes, and saw Osmanthus sitting by the table in a daze, with a brush in one hand and a few copper coins in the other.

"Oh, so many places need money, how can the money be enough!" Osmanthus shook her head and sighed, wishing to spend all the money in half.

Meihua picked up the coat she had just put away, put it on her body, went around the kang table, walked to Osmanthus and sat down next to Osmanthus, "Osmanthus, actually, sister has been thinking about one thing today, it is about making money, but I don't know if it is feasible or not." OK."

When she heard that it was about making money, Osmanthus fragrans' eyes widened in an instant, and she quickly asked, "Sister, what idea did you think of? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"
