The named osmanthus looked up at Chu Yannian, shook his head, and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little muttering, it is said that each family receives a lot of grain, why is it still so tight every year, right?" ”

As soon as Osmanthus said this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

This made Osmanthus laugh in a daze, and asked stupidly: "What are you all laughing at?" ”

In the end, Chu Zhenghai smiled and said, "Girl, it's not that the prince of the world has exempted us from taxes and grain, so our family can have so much food!" ”

That's right!

Osmanthus suddenly realized, why did she forget such an important thing as tax grain?

Every year, the tax grain that each household has to hand over to the imperial court accounts for 50% of the harvest, which is not counting the deliberate embarrassment of some grain collectors, or the need to collect benefits or something.

After paying the tax and leaving some seeds for planting next year, will the rest of the grain be just barely enough to make ends meet?

"It seems that either the imperial court will have to lower the tax rate, or it will only have to increase the production of grain." Osmanthus muttered to herself.

"Girl, what are you talking about?" Chu Zhenghai and Osmanthus sat opposite, and Osmanthus didn't speak loudly, so Chu Zhenghai didn't listen carefully.

"Ah, nothing, sir, I mean, let's write the text later! Then I'll send half of the silver to you and my fourth uncle's house tomorrow, can you see it? Osmanthus didn't mention what she had just said to herself, but diverted the topic.

However, when Chu Zhenghai heard that he was going to make a document, he immediately made a straight face, "You girl, you are all a family, what kind of document do you have?" When you need food, just carry it. ”

Looking at Chu Zhenghai's eyes were a little misty, Osmanthus knew that this old man had drunk a little too much, and he didn't care about him, and the matter of this paperwork was so closed on the wine table, Osmanthus planned to wait for the old man Chu to wake up during the day tomorrow, and then mention the matter of the paperwork.

Osmanthus doesn't believe that a family doesn't need to make a document or something, Chu Lixin's family Osmanthus is not worried about anything, but the two members of Chu Lishi's family, as well as the Xu family in the main house, are not the masters of peace, if this document is not established, there may be something to do when you turn around.

That night, when the family had packed up and lay down, Osmanthus sat down by the candle and began to carefully check the silver money in his hand.

Counting the pile of broken silver and copper plates that Ling Chen Yi rewarded himself, plus the silver money left over from his own house, there were a total of seventy-two two three hundred and fifty-two coins.

At first glance, this money seems to be a lot, but if it is really allocated to practical use, it is stretched and pitiful.

"Osmanthus, what's wrong, the silver is not enough?" The plum blossom laid out the quilt, took off her clothes, and saw the osmanthus sitting at the table in a daze, holding a brush in one hand and pinching a few copper plates in the other.

"Alas, so many places need money, where is this silver enough!" Osmanthus shook her head and sighed, eager to spend all this money in half.

Meihua picked up the coat she had just put away, draped it on herself, walked around the kang table and sat down beside Osmanthus, "Osmanthus, in fact, my sister has been thinking about one thing today, which is about making money, but I don't know if it is feasible or not." ”

As soon as she heard that it was about making money, Osmanthus's eyes instantly widened, and she hurriedly asked, "Sister, what have you thought of?" Hurry up, say it quickly! ”。
