Chapter 291 Uncomfortable (monthly ticket 1750 plus updates)
“When you have the ability in the future and can really send your children to a girls’ school, they will at least know some words and learn faster.”
“Well, let me ask.” Su Mulan responded.
Mrs. Feng saw that Su Mulan was not very enthusiastic and knew that there was nothing she could do to persuade her, so she patted her, said a few words, and went home.
Su Mulan stayed in the room for a while, and then came out to make cakes and food.
In the afternoon, Mr. Fang, the chief bookkeeper, and his servants arrived at Baijia Village to check and appraise the land.
Of course, there are a lot of people in this village, and there is also a lot of land. It is not easy to look at each household and each land. It is not appropriate for so many people to wait in the cold wind all the time. When he reached someone's land, he called to follow him.
When it was Su Mulan’s turn, it was noon the next day.
Four acres of stick land, good or bad, was rated "land" in the end, while two acres of sweet potato land that already existed was "harmony".
In this case, the annual tax paid on these six acres of land will be nearly half of what it was before.
If you pay less, you will naturally be happy. Su Mulan had a slight smile on his face.
Han on the side curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Her family's land has just been graded, but after calculation, it is basically the same as before. Speaking of which, their family's Bangzi land was planted at about the same time as Su Mulan's family's, so Su Mulan's family's land is "land" , her family is "Shi"?
At this time, the sticks collected will be about the same, but the taxes that can be paid will be different.
Han felt a little uncomfortable.
Rolling his eyes in a circle, Han twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hey, let me tell you, why haven't you signed the lease on the three acres of newly reclaimed land in your home? It's already this time. You can't even think about sneaking it under your nose. Just pass it by."
"Does your family still have land that is deeded?" After hearing this, Master Fang glanced at Su Mulan and asked. “Mr. Fang, a commoner’s wife…”
Before Su Mulan could reply, Han rushed over and said, "There are still three acres of land over there. I just harvested a crop of autumn sweet potatoes some time ago."
As soon as Han's words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly turned ugly.
It is a common practice to plant the land first and then take the contract at night. The people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable. They are all from the same village and have the same surname. No one wants to ruin anyone's job. As for the Yamen, they only need the tax money collected every year. Almost all of them turn a blind eye and are unwilling to cause trouble for the people.
It’s just that everyone is well aware of such a closely guarded matter.
But now, the Han family spoke openly about it, especially in front of Chief Fang. If Chief Fang ignored it, he would be allowing the people below to take advantage of the imperial court, which is not justified.
If you take care of it, you won't be able to escape this punishment.
Not only will Su Mulan be punished, but he may also be punished for being upright.
A layer of sweat formed on Bai Kangyuan's back. He was annoyed that Mr. Han was talking too much here, and looked at Director Fang with some worry, "Sir..."
"What's going on?" Chief Fang looked at Su Mulan, "Why did you clear up wasteland and plant the land, but didn't sign the deed? Is it to evade taxes and money?"
“Return to your lord, the women of the people do not dare.”
Su Mulan said, "This land was opened in the summer by peasant women with their children. Because this land is really remote, there are many weeds growing on it. I don't know if I can grow food successfully. At first, I didn't know whether it would be possible to grow food successfully." Just tried growing some sweet potatoes.”
I have worked overtime to write code words, and there are still 7 updates today. When I really can’t write, I will reduce the amount. If I can write it, I will try to add more updates~
The author is working hard to code, hoping to get support from the little cuties, (づ ̄3 ̄)づ
