The Space’s Twelve Zodiac Comes to Farm!

Chapter 139 Who dares to eat the corn peeled by the emperor?

For several days in a row, there were endless people on the hill, just like those who came to visit Zhang You'en's house.

These two places are the most lively in the whole village. For several days, Mr. Li did not go home.

Even Mr. Li couldn't hold back and went to find Zhang Youen, but Zhang Youen didn't know where Mr. Li went.

And Mr. Li specifically asked if he saw the name of the boss when he released the list in Fucheng.

The answer is no.

Obviously, Boss Li fell off the list.

Li Wangshi has also been very low-key at home recently. At this time, he doesn't dare to make Mr. Li angry anymore.

Her eldest brother didn't pass the exam this time. If Mr. Li had to suspend himself or put himself in the pond because of what happened last time, it would be troublesome.

A few days later, the day gradually became calm.

Zhang Youen also stayed behind closed doors, concentrated on studying poetry and books, and prepared for the next meeting.

Xiaoshan is also almost finished, just wait for the spring of next year to buy some fruit tree seedlings and plant them.

But now people are busy again.

To thresh corn and pay taxes.

The corn had to be dried when it was first harvested, so the Bailian family chose to hire people to work in their spare time.

Several days have passed now, and the peeled corn is almost dried, and many people are busy threshing.

Although threshing is manual, it is not very troublesome. Use a hard awl to chisel twice and rub it hard with your hands, and one corn will be threshed.

Bai Lian's family has ten acres of land. Although the harvest was very poor in ancient times, there is more than 200 catties per acre of land, so much corn. In the past, it was done by people from three houses a day. If it can't be done today, it will be done tomorrow. If you can't finish it tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow.

But now it's different because someone has come to help.

"Oh, apprentice, I'm really exhausted, I'll have to eat something delicious later!" Old Man Wang looked at the corn in front of him with disgust.

"I want to eat sweet and sour fish!" Uncle Luo started to order, one bite at a time.

Recently, I have been listening to the people in the village talking about me and me, and I can say it smoothly myself.

"I want to eat spicy hot pot!" Mrs. Luo, with gloves on her hands, chiseled the corn with an awl, and then threw it to Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo rubbed it with her hands, and one corn was shaved off.

Fortunately, Uncle Luo likes to practice swordsmanship and archery, so he has thick calluses on his hands, and he doesn't feel it.

Bai Lian came up with the gloves. After all, it is a huge amount of work to thresh so much corn by hand.

"No problem!" Bai Lian waved her hand, everyone worked so hard, they should have something to eat.

Otherwise, wouldn't he become Zhou Pipi?

Bai Lian's family has long been accustomed to Uncle Luo, his wife, and Master Chien coming over to eat and drink, but the dark guards hiding in the dark are all terrified.

Are they blinded?

The king of a country and the mother of a country are peeling corn!

Is this corn gold?

Who dares to eat?

They were so frightened that they dared not come out!

They are so hard!

This is nothing, this family is not particular about it at all, they say some homely things with the most honorable people of the big man all day long, and they don't pay attention to their wording and methods at all!

There doesn't seem to be any respect at all!

If any minister dared to speak with such a good feeling, he would have been demoted long ago!

The most frightening one was a few days ago, when Li Yongnian bought a lot of things and was beaten by Grandma Ciying and Mrs. Li Zhao after chasing him in the yard.

Uncle Luo kindly went over to comfort him, and was patted by Grandma Ciying...

However, these people who seem to be relatively unruly, Uncle Luo and his wife still like them very much.

The main reason is that the food at Bailian's house is delicious, and the water is much better than others'!

So these few days are relying on all kinds of delicious food, how can Uncle Luo work so hard.

It's still a lot of people and powerful, and within a few days, all the corn at home will be threshed!

However, Bai Lian always felt strange.

Can you not blame it?

Every night recently, there will be secret guards coming over quietly, and then threshing the corn in Bailian's house!

There are two shifts during the day and night, of course it's fast!

This is because the dark guard came here because he was afraid that his master would be tired.

The dark guards beside Uncle Luo were all top-notch experts, and they all took advantage of the dead of night when the ghostly figure flashed and a bag of corn disappeared.

Then after a while, a bunch of corn kernels are thrown over.

Even Li Xiaoniu and the little mice in the yard didn't find it.

early morning

"Girl, didn't you say you wanted to go? Get up quickly!" Grandma Ciying patted Bailian's door, and then hurried to cook.

Bai Lian rubbed her eyes sleepily, and then quickly got up and put on her clothes.

Today is an important day for farmers, that is to pay taxes!

The Great Han stipulated that the tax would be 1 for 15 years, so based on the harvest of 250 catties per mu of land, Bailian’s family would have to pay 160 catties of grain.

Logically speaking, it is acceptable, but nowadays people pay more attention to more children and more happiness, so many families have more than a dozen children, and the land is not many acres, and the tax is really heavy for them.

There are so many places like Bailian's family, mainly because of Li Yongnian's great grandfather, so he doesn't have to think about the problem of eating in the future.

These are enough for the family to eat. Only when they are in the old house, the family has a lot of crops, but the people in the three-bedroom are still not full.

The grain yield in ancient times was not high, only corn and sweet potatoes were more productive, but both corn and sweet potatoes were passed down from the Qing Dynasty in modern times.

So Bai Lian didn't know what era this time and space belonged to.

Unlike when the family paid taxes before, they were very unhappy and hurt when they watched so much food handed over to the government.

But it's different now. So much corn is produced by themselves, and they can still accept it if they hand over more than 100 catties.

At least they won't have to go hungry in the future.

The freshly ground new cornmeal cakes I ate this morning had a strong corn scent, and I used spiritual spring water at home, not to mention how delicious it was.

"Bang bang bang!"

While the family was eating, there was a knock on the door.

"You are here! Come in! Come in!" When Li Yongnian opened the door and saw Uncle Luo, he asked him in a naive manner.

Thanks to Uncle Luo, the corn at home can be peeled so quickly.

This is also because Uncle Luo has no land. Li Yongnian thinks that if he farms the land, he must be a good player!

"You guys, when are you going to the government office?" Uncle Luo asked while eating tortillas.

As an emperor, you must understand the suffering of the people!

"I'll go after dinner later!" Li Yongnian said.

"I'll go with you!" Uncle Luo smiled and asked tentatively, "How much food do you have to pay in your family?"

"One hundred and sixty-six pounds" Li Yongnian said in pain.

But he thought that he still had a lot of food left, and it didn't hurt so much!

"So much!" Uncle Luo felt a little pain in his hand.

More than 100 catties is enough for him to peel corn for a day!

"The court has stipulated that we can do as we do. Before, we had to pay the "population tax", and the emperor's love for the people was exempted. It's much better!" Li Yongnian ate the cake silently.

The "population tax" is a tax based on the head of the population, and a person needs to pay 100 yuan a year.

He remembered that every time he paid the "population tax" when he was a child, he and his mother would be scolded by Li Wang for a whole day because they wasted 200 yuan.

Later, the emperor ordered the cancellation, and the payment was not made.

Uncle Luo slandered in his heart, it seems that he is still quite wise and martial, and without the "population tax", he has a more wise reputation.

"That's right, the current emperor loves the people like a son, and it is wise to do so!" Uncle Luo praised and praised with a smile on his face.
