Just when Han Chuxue wanted to get into trouble, Fan Lizheng and the others had already walked under the big banyan tree. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing Han Chuxue, he immediately greeted with a smile, "Miss Han, didn't you pay your family's taxes, why did you come here today?" ”

Han Chuxue smiled and gave a salute, "Lord Lizheng, Chuxue saw that there was nothing to do at home, and she was curious about how this tax was collected, so she came to take a look, hoping not to disturb Lord Lizheng." ”

Thinking that she was a child, Fan Lizheng laughed and shook his hand, "Where will it disturb." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to her, "If the girl is really interested in watching, you might as well come and take a look, but this tax collection is not a fun thing, so don't bury the girl then." ”

Han Chuxue himself was curious about this, so he would not shirk it, and said to Grandpa Han's father and son with a smile, and then took Ou Limei to Fan Lizheng's side, and Han Yuhai's two little babies also walked over in a lively manner.

Seeing that Fan Lizheng didn't scold them, Grandpa Han's father and son didn't care about them.

At this time, the village chief and the others had already put their things in place, and Han Chuxue looked at it curiously.

The iron shelf was placed on the ground at the front of the team, and the big bucket was suspended on the shelf, and a big basket was placed underneath.

This bucket is used to measure the grain, just as Han Chuxue thought before, and when it is full, the piston below is removed, and the grain will fall into the large basket below, and then the piston is stuffed back and the grain is poured back.

However, a basket is a stone, so in order to speed up, it is generally not the amount of a bucket and a bucket, but through the bucket to pour the grain into the basket accurately, after it is full, change a basket, normally a household pays five stones of summer tax, that is, five baskets, after the amount is enough, it will be packed up in a sack, put aside, and continue to the next household.

And if you encounter a taxpayer like Lin Xiaoshan's family who has become a female household now, and only collects half a tax, then half a stone needs to use that bucket to measure the amount of bucket.

While Fan Li was talking, the tax collection began.

Behind the scale, there was also a table, and a middle-aged man dressed in a tent sat in front of him, and in front of him was a long album, on which the village chief, father and son, would record the name of the head of the household and the amount of taxes paid.

And Fan Lizheng also took out a booklet here, Han Chuxue quietly looked at it, only to see that the name of the person was written on it, and there were some introductions behind, when the village chief reported the name, he would draw a circle after the relevant name.

Thinking that this should be a copy of the household registration, with it in hand, how much tax should be paid by each household at a glance, and those who have paid enough tax will draw a circle to indicate that they have paid, plus the account room has made a detailed record of the quantity, as long as the two booklets are handed in together, even if they are not to collect taxes in person, the following situation can also be clear.

This ancient tax is still quite strict.

As soon as Han Chuxue sighed, he found that something was wrong, this tax payer was a Chengding household, and it stands to reason that the amount is enough for five baskets, but after five baskets, this family continued to measure five buckets, and this is the end of the matter.

"Fan Lizheng, why does this household have to pay more?"

Fan Lizheng, who was taking notes, looked at her with some puzzlement, "What's more?" ”

Han Chuxue pointed to the extra half basket, "Didn't he only need to pay five stones of grain, how could he give five more buckets?" ”

Finally understood, Fan Lizheng laughed, "Girl, that's rats, every household has to pay." ”

Rat consumption?

Han Chuxue blinked, she seemed to have a slight impression of the word, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Looking at her blank look, you can tell that she didn't understand.

Fan Lizheng explained, "This tax was originally to be transported to the county by the peasant households, but the adults above are sympathetic to the people, as long as the layers of grain collected below are handed over, although the burden on the peasant households is reduced, but the amount of this grain will also be somewhat incorrect." ”

Han Chuxue was even more puzzled, "Isn't it all collected and recorded, how can it not be?" ”

With such a clear account, could it be possible that something could go wrong?

Fan Lizheng looked at her with an expression that she was really a little baby who didn't know anything about the world.

"Girl, now this grain is fully collected, but when it is handed over to Wu Chang, it must be measured again, and it is still measured again when it is transported to the county, and this time it is transported and weighed, this grain will definitely be lost, and we will only hand it over after we have collected all the taxes and grain, and Wu Chang will collect all the taxes and then hand them over to the county, and the county will have to collect all the taxes and grain of the county before it can be transported to the county, and it will be stored everywhere, won't it let the rats eat some of it?"

Cold and early snow......

Finally understood, it turned out that this is rat consumption, whether it is really a rat to eat, or let the "big rat" eat, anyway, this loss is impossible for the court to pay, and those who have eaten it will not be willing to spit it out, so in the end, this "rat consumption" can only be counted on the bottom of the farmers.

Instead of asking the farmers to make up for it at the end, it is better to count the food consumed by the rat at the beginning, so that at least the "rats" will eat it and have a number in their hearts, so that they will not be unable to deal with the court in the end.

Han Chuxue laughed a little playfully, "You have to eat a bucket of grain for one stone, this is really too much to eat, presumably the rats of the Dachang Dynasty are quite fat." ”

A Chengding household will have to pay five buckets of rats to consume grain, a village has at least dozens of households, so a village can collect more than a dozen stones of grain, this rat can not only eat, but also quite greedy.

Poof, Olime, who heard the meaning of this, couldn't help but squirt out for a while.

Fan Lizheng's face also trembled a little, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, "The girl is right, this rat is indeed hateful, but unfortunately there is no way to eradicate it." ”

When the water is clear, there are no fish, this truth is naturally understood by Han Chuxue, this rule is not set by Fan Lizheng, it is useless to blame him, she is just angry for a while but mock a few words.

"Speaking of which, Fan Lizheng's tax grain doesn't seem to have been paid to this rat's consumption of grain, is it leaking?"

Fan Lizheng immediately lowered his voice and said to her, "Girl, this rule is unwritten, and naturally not everyone has to pay it. ”

The first snow is ...... again

I understood in seconds, it turned out that this rat is not everyone's food.

The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, and this sentence really points out the hidden drawbacks.

During the conversation, it was time for the grandfather, just now Han Chuxue was standing with their father and son, talking and laughing, Fan Lizheng saw it without being blind, and then heard Han Yong's name, also surnamed Han, I want to know that this must be a close relative of Han Yongbai's family.

So when Han poured five baskets of grain forever and was going to continue to pour it, Fan Lizheng waved his hand to stop it, "Okay, next household." (To be continued.) )
