25. Payment of Taxes
"What's the matter, isn't this just, a little reluctant to Wei Wazi, we've been living together for a few months......" Yun Qin Huaihua smiled lovingly, "I said that my father and mother didn't take you home sooner to see, we met more than ten years late, and we lived these days and are leaving......"
Yun Wei was expressionless, but he didn't interrupt Yun Qinhuaihua, and let her go on and on. Until, "Go wash your face!" β
As soon as Yun Wei looked up, he saw that Qiu Hanyu had already taken care of the faΓ§ade, and standing in this small hall, he looked out of place, and it made the house even more dilapidated. This man was born to live in a high house.
Qiu Hanyu reached out and rubbed Yunwei's head, "Wash your face!" β
"Hmm!" Yun Wei smiled and tilted his head back, dodging Qiu Hanyu's hand. The two of them joked to themselves, completely ignoring Yun Qin Huaihua on the side, and hated her so much that her cheeks twitched.
It's a pity that she is so old that she can only actively brush up on her own feelings: "That's it, that's it, Wei Wazi hurry up and wash her face, the rice is going to be cold!" Now it's cold, and the meal is ready to cool quickly. β
Yun Wei ignored her and went to wash herself, and came back to her after finishing her work and said, "I won't bother my uncle after these things, what about my uncle?" If you pack up, hurry up and leave while it's still early, don't stay late and stay one night, my godfather and godmother can still live at Grandpa Jiu's house. β
"That, Uncle Kai is in the vegetable garden, and he will tidy up the garden. Pull out what should be pulled out and replant it, and we won't be able to plant the land, we can't ignore it! Yun Qin Huaihua smiled flatteringly.
"Uncle Niang can't be old and has a bad memory, so I forgot what I said yesterday, right?" Yun Wei's face was long. I had expected today's situation, but I was not happy or unhappy.
"What, we don't want to stay longer, let's keep the rules in order, at most two days we will leave!" Yun Qin Huaihua said curtly.
Yun Wei narrowed his eyes and began to think about what other benefits he could get by letting them stay for two more days.
Before Yun Wei could figure it out, he heard someone slamming the door, "Yun Dazhu, Yun Dazhu, is Yun Dazhu here?" β
"Who?" Yun Wei stared at Yun Qin Huaihua and asked in a loud voice.
"Is it Wei Wazi? I'm your thirteenth uncle, is your uncle at home? I've got something to look for him! β
Yun Wei looked at Yun Qin Huaihua and replied: "Thirteenth uncle, the uncle and the aunt are at home, you wait, I'll go and open the door for you!" β
Yun Qin Huaihua stretched out her hand to stop it, but Yun Wei dodged it and didn't stop it. Yun Wei opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in coarse cloth clothes standing at the door, and two officials standing a little away.
"Uncle Thirteen, what's going on this morning?" Yun Wei didn't know the person who came, but just said according to the person's self-title.
"These two big brothers are here to collect taxes, and yesterday they should have collected your uncle's house, your sister-in-law took a child at home and didn't have money to pay, saying that she was looking for her in-laws to ask for money, and she would pay it today, but she couldn't open the door today, so she had to come to you. Don't be embarrassed! "The man is quite polite to Yunwei, and it is very unlucky to lead the official to the door early in the morning, and no one is happy to put it on anyone.
"It's okay, pay taxes, you have to pay them. A few big brothers, please, my uncle and aunt are at home. Yun Wei turned sideways and let the person into the house. When everyone walked in, Yun Wei raised his voice to greet a neighbor who was probing his brain, "Uncle Huzi, it's morning, have you eaten?" I haven't eaten yet, and there are no servants coming to my uncle and aunt! β
"Huh? What's the matter with this big head? β
"I said I didn't pay taxes, I'll go in and take a look, Uncle Huzi will come to my house to play when he's free!" Yun Wei, who had achieved his goal, entered the house without closing.
As soon as Yun Wei entered the house, the people who were probing their brains in their yard all came out and gathered around the door of Yun Wei's house to watch the excitement. That's a servant, it's not often seen on weekdays.
Yun Wei didn't move forward when he entered the house, and stood on the periphery of the crowd with Qiu Hanyu, listening to the officials say how many catties of wheat and how many catties of rice should be paid by Yun Dazhu's family as grain tax, and then there were two hundred copper coins as a person tax, and finally there was five hundred copper coins for exemption money.
In the end, you can not pay it, but in a few days you will have to serve in the conscription, and this year it is to dredge the river. It is not a good job to dredge the river in winter, but it is necessary to take advantage of the lack of water in winter to dredge the river, so most people will pay if they still have money. Of course, there are also family members who are short of money, and in addition to serving in the conscription, there are also people who will earn the money for the servitude.
Because the work of serving as a substitute is generally not a good job, the money for the substitute service will be relatively high, but after layers of exploitation, it will only be about 200 yuan in the hands of the substitute. Some people who cannot afford to pay for exemption from military service and do not want to serve in conscription will spend three or four hundred yuan to hire people to serve in conscription. The imperial court generally does not prohibit it explicitly, but if the day comes, if no one can be hired to serve in the conscription, the officials will come to the door and drag people.
Yun Dazhu's family didn't pay the exemption money in previous years, so this year's official didn't chase after it, but only asked: "Do you pay grain or money?" β
"Why do you have to pay taxes? My family is going to have a show talent this year! Isn't Xiucai tax-exempt! Yun Qin Huaihua hid behind Yun Dazhu and shouted quietly.
The leading official seemed to have seen too many such people, and he was not angry but happy, "Your family will have a god in the future, do I still want to put an incense burner for you to burn an incense burner?" Don't fix those useless ones, if your family has a showman, I will give you tax exemption, if not, pay money and pay food quickly! β
"Yes, my nephew is a showman!" Yun Qin Huaihua hurriedly stretched out her head when she heard that she could be tax-free, and when she saw that the officials were looking at her, she quickly retracted her head.
"Your nephew? Which one? The leading official frowned, he had asked Xuezheng before coming, there is no talent in this village!
"It's a little student!" was named, Yun Wei couldn't hide it anymore, and nodded at the servant.
"You?" One of the officials standing to the left of the leading official suddenly said, "Didn't you go to get Lumi's son a few days ago?" β
Yun Wei smiled gently, "See me, I didn't expect that the eldest brother still remembered Xiaosheng!" β
"Oh, since there is really a Xiucai, the tax can be exempted, but what is the name of Xiucaigong, I will have to check with Xuezheng when I go back." The leading officials don't want to be embarrassed when they hear that they are a child, these people are likely to be promoted in the future, and if they are promoted, they will be able to become officials, and they may have to work as errands under others, so if they can offend people less, they will offend less.
Yun Wei didn't rush to sign up, but asked: "It's a joke for the big brothers, my parents were kind before, and they only told Xiaosheng to study wholeheartedly, so Xiaosheng didn't know anything about mundane affairs." I also want to ask my eldest brother, my family was separated from my uncle's family when my father was alive, can my uncle's family use my fame to deduct taxes now? If my uncle's taxes are deducted, what will happen to my family's taxes? β
"Separated?" The leading official raised his eyebrows and glared in the direction of Yun Dazhu. If it was in the afterlife, it is estimated that he would still ask: "Are you taunting me?" β
However, he was still quite kind to Yun Wei, "If the family is separated, it is two families, and his family tax has nothing to do with your family!" Then he turned to Yun Dazhu but didn't have the kindness just now, "Pay the money or the grain, say it quickly!" β
"You, you, be polite, my nephew is still a talent!" Yun Dazhu felt that his face couldn't hold it, and he thought that his son was about to be admitted to Xiucai, so he had the courage to say a word to the servant.
The officials really had some estimates, and looked at Yun Wei, "Xiucai Gong wants to intervene?" β
"The sage taught us to be reasonable, that is, we should pay attention to a rational word in our actions, and it is natural to pay taxes, how can Xiaosheng interfere!" Yun Wei still smiled gently.
"Hear me, hurry up, brothers are very busy." The officials were a little impatient.
"Captain Wazi ......"
"What? Uncle doesn't have money in his hands? Didn't my aunt just take a dozen taels from home a few days ago for household use? If it's not enough, use it first, it's all a family, you don't have to see outside! Yun Wei still laughed.
God knows that all the silver has been subsidized by Yun Qin Huaihua's son, where can he get the money at this time.
Yun Wei guessed that these two people would not take it out even if they had money, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "It's all used up?" No, my father and mother have been saving for many years! This ......"
