Chapter 233 Harvest to be low-key

Talking twice.

Over there, Murong Run was overtaken by the carriage to Wanning City, the capital.

On this end, the people of Hujia Village are really beaming.

Great harvest!

Not to mention the fertile fields of Lao Wang's family, it is the second-class fields of the villagers, and two or three stones of grain have been laid on one mu of land!

This was an amount that even fertile fields could not achieve in previous years.

These days, the seeds are not good, there are many natural and man-made disasters, and the fertility of the land is not enough. It all depends on the farmers to raise them carefully.

If you are raised until the end of the year, you will have to pay the Spring and Autumn Tax. According to the head, you will have to pay one stone, one tax and one stone. If a person does nothing, he has to pay two stones of grain a year.

The grain that the government wants is not that kind of coarse grain, but must be carefully selected, and only the absolutely high-quality can be used to pay taxes.

Therefore, one stone is often spent two or three times a stone, which is even more overwhelming.

Plus three or four times a year of corvée, ranging from one to two months at a time.

The family is really hopeless!

Now that the county magistrate has fallen, their tax has been restored to the one-tenth, one-half stone set by the government, and the spring tax has been exempted due to disasters. to own.

In the past, the poorest family in the village was the Lao Wang family. They only had more than 10 mu of land and 60 mu of mountains.

There will only be more people in other villages.

Calculated like this, even if the harvest is the worst, this time, it can accept twenty or thirty stone of grain, which is something that I never dared to imagine before!

The happiest one is Widow Zhou and others. They rented the land of the Lao Wang family and used the grains provided by the Lao Wang family, which were directly taken from seven or eight stone grains.

Except for the ones to be handed over to the Lao Wang family, the rest are all theirs, which is far more than what ordinary people grow by themselves!

For a time, those who chose to grow their own food regretted it.

"If we knew we should have believed in the Lao Wang family, it wouldn't be so much less food!"

"Fortunately, our family has a good harvest. Otherwise, I would have to be jealous and steal food."

"Isn't that right? Look at the food grown by Lao Wang's family. It's white, and it smells good."

"Let's go to pay taxes and use ordinary grains, and sell our own grains to buy some from Lao Wang's family. It will definitely taste a lot better."

"I used to be afraid that the food would be delicious and delicious. With such a big mouth, one person can eat a few mouthfuls. It's really distressing. Now that the harvest is bumper, don't chase after the children, let them have enough to eat."

Everyone had a big smile on their face.

Not only rice, but also all kinds of beans, one is bigger than one, and the fragrance is still very strong.

People who work in the farm all year round can smell it, it is definitely a good quality bean!

Hujia Village was full of joy, but the head of Hu Village poured cold water on everyone.

"Don't be stupid, take out your own food."

Everyone was puzzled: "Why can't I take it out? I'm also going to send a bag to my wife's mother-in-law's house. Before the family was short of food, my husband's family also sent half a bag of food, and now I'm going to return it."

Village Chief Hu said: "Go out and ask, what is the grain harvested by each family now, and what is the grain of our village, don't forget about Shanyang Village."

When    mentioned Shanyang Village, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

It's all right, why mention that unlucky village?

Mrs. Hu: "As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about the few, but the problem is uneven. If all the villages have such a bumper harvest, that's fine, but only our village has a bumper harvest, so we should keep a low profile."
