Wei Yunhai really treats Zhang Xing and Zhang Jinbao well, but Zhang Xing doesn't want him to help pay the money, the Wei family's taxes are already very heavy, and the poll tax alone costs five parts, no wonder Wei Yunhai is so desperate.

"Uncle, you don't have to give me money, I went to the Splendid Pavilion in the town with Aunt He a few days ago to sell a few tricks, and the money on hand is enough to pay these taxes." Zhang Xing said.

Wei Yunhai was stunned, Zhang Xing learned embroidery from Aunt He next door, he also knew the Tao, but he was a big man, and he didn't know much about it, thinking that this was a mother-in-law who was idle and selling a few small money, and Zhang Xing was still so young, he just thought she was learning a craft, and he didn't think she would make money at all.

"Xing'er, do you know how many liters of chestnuts need to be paid for these three acres? Although Jinbao does not need to pay poll tax, as long as there is still his land in Lizhuang Village, there are some miscellaneous taxes to pay. Wei Yunhai said cautiously.

Zhang Xing nodded and said, "I know that I have asked Uncle Li, and he told me that if you are like Jinbao, you have to pay a hundred dollars, and I have it in my hand." ”

Wei Yunhai looked at her stunned, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu also stopped their chopsticks and turned their heads to look at her, Wei Minwu was even more surprised that he didn't even know what to say about the food on the chopsticks.

In order to win their trust, Zhang Xing simply ran to his room, grabbed about 100 copper coins, put them in a money bag, and put them on the table. Wei Minwu immediately reached out to grab it. Wei Yunhai knocked chopsticks on the back of his hand and urged Zhang Xing: "Quickly put it away, put it away quickly." The money in this money bag is more than Baiwen at a glance, he really didn't expect Zhang Xing to earn such money quietly, looking at Zhang Xing, the more he felt that this girl was better than his son, and it was a pity that she was not surnamed Wei.

Zhang Xing has money in his hands. Wei Yunhai was relieved about paying taxes, and only the next day he had to go to the dock to do a short job. He instructed his two sons who did not go to private school to accompany Zhang Xing to Lizhuang Village, Quantang Town.

Zhang Xing has Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu as companions, and she has a lot of courage. Although her two elder brothers are only thirteen or fourteen years old, they are both extremely strong, and they look even older than other fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, and with them as companions, they are not afraid of people robbing things.

Zhang Xing, Zhang Jinbao, Wei Minwen, and Wei Minwen successfully arrived at Li Dahe's house in Lizhuang Village, Zhang Xing found a way to send Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu out of the house, and asked the two families to pay the specific amount of money. Li Dahe and Li Youshi looked at each other. Zhang Xing couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is something going on again? ”

Li Dahe shook his head and looked at Li Youshi. Li Youshi dragged Zhang Xing's hand and said, "Xing'er." Jin Lian and his father want to ask you for one more thing. ”

Zhang Xing's heart tightened, but she still asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xing'er, you kindly borrowed our money to pay this tax, we are a thousand and ten thousand grateful, but you also know the situation of our family, this tax is getting heavier and heavier year by year, this will be paid last year, and I don't know where it will fall this year. I'm afraid it's hard for us to repay the money you borrowed. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Lian was still young. I don't want her to live a life of running around, your uncle and I are planning to don't want this land, I really can't afford to plant it. I discussed with your uncle all night, and I planned to give you the two acres of medium land we had on hand. It's kind of repaying the tax. You two brothers and sisters don't come here to farm, you still plant this land for us, and wait for the harvest at the end of the year. In addition to the acre tax, you can give another two or three achievements. Do you think that's good? Li Youshi said.

Seeing that Zhang Xing was stunned, he didn't agree. Li Youshi said again: "Xing'er, don't worry. We won't cheat you, as long as we serve the two acres of medium land in our hands, the yield is no worse than that of the upper grade. Now such land is bought and sold for one or two or five dollars of silver per acre. Moreover, we don't care about planting, when Jinbao grows up and returns to Lizhuang Village, the land will belong to him, and he will do whatever he says. ”

One or two or five dollars of silver and one acre of land has a tax of two or three hundred yuan, which is definitely a cheap sale, if it is not for the current tax is too heavy, who wants to do this stupid thing?

Li Dahe and Li Youshi Baba looked at Zhang Xing. After Zhang Xing rang for a while, Fang shook his head and said: "You can't do this, you can buy two acres of medium land for two or three hundred yuan, if the villagers know the Tao, I'm afraid they won't point to my backbone and scold me for not being kind......

Li Youshi also said, in fact, they can be regarded as seeking benevolence in this matter, anyway, they can't pay taxes, and the land can't be planted, so it's better to give it to the Zhang family, first, to repay the Zhang family's affection, and second, Zhang Jinbao is still young, and he won't come here to farm for a while, just lease it to them to plant, and when Zhang Jinbao grows up, her daughter Jinlian is also going to get married, and her daughter has a landing, and he can do whatever he wants.

Zhang Xing stopped her and said: "I believe that my aunt's land is a good land, I want it, but I can't do it like this, otherwise, I will really be scolded to death." Two acres of medium land, three taels of silver, I bought it. This tax money is tax money, and buying land is buying land, and the two can't be mixed. If my aunt has money, she can pay it back if she wants, and if she wants to buy it back, if she has no money, she will be the one who bought it a year ago. This land is also planted for you, and the harvest is divided into four or six after the tax on the acre, and you account for six and four of the blood and sweat you pay, auntie. ”

Li Dahe and Li Youshi couldn't help but be happy, but they didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Xing, the three of them discussed for a long time, and finally set a fifty-fifty share of the harvest tax in the field, and Zhang Xing bought the other two acres of his family's inferior heaven and leased them to Li Dahe and his wife together with their original three acres of land.

The matter was decided, Li Dahe took Zhang Xing to find Li Yougui, the new village head of Lizhuang Village, to pay taxes, Li Yougui never thought that Li Dahe, who went out to beg for food, would actually come back, and also paid the taxes, so he was embarrassed for a long time. Zhang Xing remembered Wei Minwu's explanation, did not confront this person head-on, and took Li Yougui's cold words as the wind in his ears.

The powerful are the powerful, if you are a barefoot poor man who is not absolutely sure, it is best not to provoke if you can't afford it, otherwise you will be deceived by the open and the dark, and you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.

After paying the tax, Li Dahe and Zhang Xing talked about the sale of acres of land again, and Li Yougui was even more difficult, if it weren't for Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu beside him, he didn't know much about Zhang Xing's details, and he was afraid that he would offend people. It doesn't always work out.

Li Yougui cleared it here, Zhang Xing handed over the rest of the formalities to Li Dahe, and he returned to Weijiazhuang with Zhang Jinbao, Wei Minwen, and Wei Minwu. Wei Minwen Min Wu consciously ran this long way with Zhang Xing, and he didn't even get good food and drink, and as soon as he came back, he urged Zhang Xing to cook to comfort them for working so hard.

It was already dark, Wei Yunhai was busy burning the fire, he was impatient to do this, listened to the dislike of his two sons, and almost rewarded them with another meal, but was persuaded by Zhang Xing to push out.

Zhang Xing burned a pot of soup noodles, added some green vegetables and minced meat, and was eaten up by several people. After cleaning up the kitchen, I went back to my room.

Everyone in the room was asleep, and the snoring was loud and loud. Zhang Xing dragged out his money jar and counted the few money left in it. I can't help but feel that the speed of saving money can never compare to the speed of using money, and she has saved money for more than half a year, but in one day, she only has a dozen copper plates left.

Making money is always a big deal.

Zhang Jinbao now has eight acres of land, and the tax per mu of this field has to be paid every year, Li Dahe and his wife lease her family land to plant, and this poll tax Li Yougui said that according to the rules, it must be counted on Zhang Jinbao's head. Although Li Dahe theorized with Li Yougui at that time. But Zhang Xing didn't think this would change.

Since Juyuanlou began to use mushrooms to cook, there are fewer and fewer mushrooms, and there are more and more people who can distinguish poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms. Nowadays, a basket of mushrooms can be sold for a few copper plates, and the good days are gone.

As for selling recipes, she thought it was a good way to make money, but later found out that it was completely her own luck, and the reason why the shopkeeper of Juyuanlou gave her five taels of silver was just to look strange, to put it bluntly, people were buying five taels of silver and she was a creative idea to serve dishes with a pot and stove. If you change to other stir-fried dishes, let alone the recipe, maybe no one even wants mushrooms.

After the master of the Juyuanlou comprehended the dry pot mushroom roasted bacon, it didn't take long for him to launch a series of dry pot dishes, with a wide variety of varieties, and the taste was not much worse than what Zhang Xing had eaten before.

Therefore, the wisdom of the laborer is endless.

Don't think about selling recipes, embroidering a handkerchief is a hard job, and earning too little, as for painting patterns, it's not that as soon as she shoots, others can see it, cultural differences, different aesthetic views, many of her think it's good, the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion only laughs a few times, and can't see it.

While Zhang Xing was struggling with how to make money, Ye Hexiang, who had lived in her mother's house for several days, came back and brought amazing news.

Ye Yunqing, the sister of Ye Yunqing, a big family in Yinhe Village, came back from Yu County, and planned to pick a few girls from the clan to take to Huaiyang Palace.

Ye Hexiang said excitedly: "Huaiyang Palace, do you know what kind of family it is?" The cats and dogs in his house are more noble than other people, if you can enter the Huaiyang Palace, you will not have to worry about it in your life, this is really a great thing! Xing'er, come, come, my mother will find you a nice dress to wear, and we will go to your uncle's house tomorrow. ”

Zhang Xing doesn't know what her mother is excited about? People want a girl from the Ye family, her surname is Zhang, okay?

"Mother, I'm not going." Zhang Xing was so noisy by her mother that her scalp was numb.

Ye Hexiang threw away the colorful clothes in her hand, pointed at Zhang Xing and said, "What are you talking about?" Not going? You dare not go! Do you think this opportunity that your mother and I are asking for is easy? Do you know that your mother and I have been standing at the gate of the house for two or three hours, sweating all over my head, and my face looks like a monkey's ass. It's good to talk to Ye Yunlan, but she just knelt down for her, and finally she nodded and let me see you. Do you say I'm easy? Still not going? Don't you dare! ”

"Mother, what people want is the girl of the Ye family, I don't have the surname Ye. Besides, I won't be a maid for others, I can't do it well. Zhang Xing said with a frown.

"You don't have the surname Ye, your mother and my surname are Ye, your mother and I are from the Ye family, why can't you go anywhere? Besides, there are few girls in the Ye family who are well-born now, if you go, they all have to stand aside. If you enter the Huaiyang Palace, you will have to eat and wear, which is a thousand times worse than now? You don't want to go yet? What crazy words are you talking about? This is not for you. Ye Hexiang said. (To be continued......)
