God had mercy on you, and it didn't rain for the next five days.

The Shen family has a total of ten acres of mountainous land, and five days is enough time for the Shen family to lift up the sorghum that has fallen to the ground, and by the way, pick up the sorghum ears that cannot be saved and return home.

The dried vegetables have also been dried for five days, and the sorghum ears have also been dried. But the Shen family still couldn't see a smile on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, the crops in the field have been recovered, and the rest will be ripe in half a month, so don't be depressed all day." Lin Xiao didn't know how to persuade her, but she looked really uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but talk more.

Shen Kangshi put away his confused eyes and sighed. "I also know that this is useless, but I can't help but feel distressed. The sorghum that had been planted for a year was about to be harvested, and it was destroyed by a hailstorm. She wiped the corners of her eyes, "This time, I'm afraid that I will lose at least thirty percent of the output, and I will have to pay taxes in a few days, how can I live this day." ”

"Didn't you say that the imperial court exempted Youzhou Mansion from money and food for ten years? Why do you have to pay taxes? Lin Xiao frowned, and immediately thought about whether someone wanted to fill his pocket.

"It's just that the tax has been exempted for three years, and the field tax has indeed been exempted for ten years, but this poll tax will have to be paid after three years, and our family of four, Rourou is still young, so there is no need to pay taxes, and the poll tax for three people will also have to pay a lot of grain......" Shen Kangshi sighed, "Just catch up with such a year......." said and cried again.

Only then did Lin Xiao know that there was still a poll tax on feelings. Is this the so-called excesses of taxes in ancient times?

Grandma Shen didn't know when she came over, "Daughter-in-law, don't cry, our mountainous area is still good, you see those depressions, they were hit by hailstones and blisters, and I heard that the sorghum in the field in Hexi has not had time to pick up and sprout...... God is pitiful, I don't know how many people will starve to death this year. ”

The village of Heixiongling was not the only one affected, but more than 20 villages under Yuliang County were affected. I don't know what about the surrounding counties?

Lin Xiao suddenly realized a strict problem. After the catastrophe, the price of this grain will rise. It will not be until next autumn that new grain will come down, and I am afraid that the price of grain will not be cheap for the whole year.

Lin Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted to discuss this matter with Shen Kang's family, but looking at her appearance, it was estimated that there was no need to discuss anything. She told Xu Lang about this, but she didn't think that Xu Lang also said: "I wanted to talk about this matter a long time ago, I went out for a walk in the past few days, and I heard from the people in the village that several nearby counties have also been affected." Further away it seems to be stricter, and this year's grain prices are afraid that they will not be cheaper. Although there will be some policies in the imperial court after the disaster, they are all a drop in the bucket, I think we should prepare food in advance. ”

Lin Xiao also nodded, "That's okay, I'll go into the city to buy food tomorrow." She added, "Now I don't have enough money on hand, but I'm afraid I'll have to use your thirty taels of silver." Xu Lang couldn't suppress his anger and glanced at her, "Still so clear with me?" "What a conscienceless little girl.

I don't know why, Xu Lang thought of the charm she had sitting on him fiercely that day, and his heart fluttered, and his eyes were a little aggressive when he looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao glanced at him in surprise, "What's the daze, let's get down to business." Ming'er, do you want to go with you? She glanced at Xu Lang like a fool, and muttered, "You won't be really stupid if you're sick." On the surface, he looked suspicious and disgusted, but in fact he was pounding in his heart.

What kind of eyes did that bastard Xu Lang look at just now? It's so hot, could it be that you thought of what happened a few days ago?

Lin Xiao pretended to be nothing, in this world, if you want to ask about the ability to pretend to be stupid, no one dares to admit the second if she dares to admit the first. Pretending to be stupid doesn't let people see it, this is a kind of realm.

At least she has handled the relationship between the two very well in the past few days, anyway, Xu Lang's guy didn't see anything.

Sure enough, Xu Lang sighed.

It's frustrating enough to talk to guys with negative EQ.

"Go, why don't you go." Her little girl suddenly bought so much food, he was worried that there would be a bad thing on the road. "I think we'd better find an oxcart in the village." If you meet a good thing on the real road, you also have a response.

Lin Xiao didn't think about it so much, "If you know someone, go find one." These days, Xu Lang goes out to walk around when he has nothing to do, and he can talk to the people in the village to some extent.

Xu Lang hesitated, "Then I'll go to Lizheng's house." ”

"What are you doing at their house?" Because of the relationship between the He family brothers, and the last time he was embarrassed, Lin Xiao obviously didn't have a good impression of this Li Zheng who was holding chicken feathers as an arrow.

"The price of food is going to rise, but I still tell Li Zheng to make preparations in the village." Otherwise, people will really starve to death in the future, first, Xu Lang doesn't want to see it, and secondly, he doesn't want to tell the truth.

"It's up to you." Lin Xiao muttered, picked up the pen and ink and began to write a book, "It just so happens that Ming'er will go to the county seat, and I will write a little story and sell it." "I can make a little more money.

I know that this girl is a money fan.

Xu Lang smiled, "That's it, I also wrote a strange novel, and I'll send it with Ming'er." Having tasted the sweetness of writing a book, the two of them obviously couldn't stop.

I don't know what Xu Lang said to Li Zheng, anyway, when Lin Xiao and the others went to the county seat the next day, the village drove six ox carts and went to more than 30 young and middle-aged laborers. The He brothers are impressively listed.

Feeling two restless gazes, Lin Xiao glared viciously, his eyes cold.

The He brothers have been haunted by nightmares for more than half a month, and they are all skinny, so they finally eased up a little, and they encountered the matter of robbery again. Although their brother is lazy and doesn't want to work, he can't stand to have an uncle who keeps an eye on them all day, so he is tired these days. The man was tall and thin, looking like sorghum stalks.

Lin Xiao didn't have any sympathy for their brother Lin Xiao, who lacked virtue, and seeing that the He family brothers wanted to get on their ox cart as if no one was around, Lin Xiao's face fell.

"We have no place in this car, you can take another car." Too lazy to talk nonsense with them, Lin Xiao drove people directly.

In the distance, Xu Lang was talking to Li Zheng, and when he saw the movement here, he frowned slightly, and went over directly.

The second child of the He family was obviously a little afraid of Lin Xiao, and looked at his eldest brother with his neck stalked.

He Dazhu laughed strangely, "This car was found by my uncle to buy food for the village, why can't our brothers sit on it?" He shouted loudly, "I want to ask, what is the surname of this Black Bear Ridge?" "I don't believe that in the village, in addition to the family that raised people, there are still people who dare not give his uncle face.

The surname is nothing, and the surname is right.

Lin Xiao sneered, remember to eat or not, I will make you look good today!
