Chapter 213: Beat Him a Turtle Sun
The sun shone on the earth, and the people in the fields were even more enthusiastic.
If you sweat, wipe it with your hand.
When he was thirsty, he waited for two sips when he returned to the ground.
When you are hungry, take a few bites of the dry food you brought from home in the morning.
The men bent over the fields shirtless, so that the clothes would last for a few more years.
The sunrise is not the time to sleep and get up, but the time to sleep and work.
In the busy farming season, no one dares to relax in any way.
The whole family, young and old, goes into battle together, and they can make as much effort as they can.
It's early, and the grain is too wet, which is not conducive to preservation.
When it is late, the grain is too dry, and it is easy to fall down when harvesting.
The autumn harvest is actually just a matter of ten days.
Although the days are hard, this year, there is a different scene on the land of Han.
Tian Si stood in front of his farmland, looking at the grain that had already been half harvested, and his face couldn't stop smiling.
"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Why don't you hurry up and stand here and giggle? Tian Li pointed at his son and cursed.
It's really unfortunate for a person in his thirties to run away at this time......
"I'm just happy, this year's crops are growing well, the yield is higher than before, and we don't have to pay taxes, and our family can have the courage to eat this year!" Tian Si didn't care about his father's scolding.
The happiness of the croppers is very simple, watching the crops harvest, being able to make them eat a year's worth of food, this is the source of their happiness.
"Hehe, this is the shrewdness of the King of Han, people are accurate, at the beginning, some people thought that it would definitely not be enough to eat such a little land to grow crops, and now I will ask them if they dare to think so!" Tian Li smiled, and there was a burst of contempt for the people who complained in private.
No matter how much land is divided, there is only so much that a person can take care of.
Rather than wasting efficiency on other fields, it is better to concentrate them.
In this way, the people can intensively cultivate their own farmland with peace of mind, which can increase the yield, and the rest of the land will be turned into official land.
Besides, this Guantian does not mean that it will be Guantian for the rest of his life.
When the new population in the village reaches the age of age, if there is idle land in the village, the idle land is allocated to these people, and if there is none, it is divided from the official land.
Therefore, according to the expectation, if the tax is paid, each family can only have less than ten stone of grain left every year as an emergency.
If you don't pay taxes now, you can leave at least 20 stone per family this year.
What is the concept of twenty stones? It's enough for a prime of life to eat for a year.
"I'm not the second child, isn't that the second child?" Tian Si smiled and looked at Tian Er, who was running in the distance.
"Hmph, this stinky boy, the family is so busy that he can't even eat, even his nephew helps the cart to transport the food home, but he, an elder, can't even go down to the ground." Speaking of the second child, he is full of gas in the field, it is the busy season of farming, but he is not busy at all.
"I'm Weng, this is your mistake, the second child is now on an errand in the county government, don't talk about eating, and give ten stone every year, and it's nothing for us to plant the land at home." Tian Si helped persuade him.
If it weren't for this opportunity now, if it weren't for Tian Er's cleverness, he would have been able to go to the county government on an errand?
There is only one county government in each county, and there are more people who want to go on errands, so why don't you see anyone else entering?
Moreover, now working in the county government is different from before, in the past, they were all forced labor, and they were all free labor.
Now they are all full-time, although they need to stay there every day, but they are still given to Yulu, in the words of the people, they eat the imperial food properly, although they give little.
But he's also an errand boy, so it's good to give ten stones.
"How's the work at home?" Tian Er hurriedly walked to his father and younger brother and asked directly.
"How do you have a bird relationship with you? What's the matter? What are you going to do with the rest? Tian Li looked at Tian Er angrily.
"I'm Weng, I'm going to the county government on an errand here, isn't that still your idea!" Tian Erxian was a little aggrieved, this was the first time since he was born and sensible that he didn't go to the field when he was busy farming, although it was very cool, but he also felt very embarrassed.
"Go! Go! Go! Tian Li waved his hand at Tian Er and said: "If you come back to help, quickly take off your clothes and go to the field, if you do an errand, just get out of here, don't have anything to do and dangle in front of Lao Tzu every day, Lao Tzu wants to take a knife and kill you!" ”
"I'm Weng, I'm coming back on an errand......" Tian Er looked at his father embarrassedly.
"Then why don't you hurry up? Delayed business, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? Tian Li scolded.
Tian Er continued to be aggrieved, and wanted to say that now he will be beheaded without moving.
But the opposite is his own father, so he can't scold him like this, besides, he still has a request for him......
"I'm going to have your help with this errand......"
"What's the matter?"
"Didn't Wang Ting transfer the garrison of our county a few months ago, and no one will take care of this official field......
"Lao Tzu knows this, let's talk about the point!" Tanari glared at Tian Er.
How could he not know about this, their family is still a vested interest.
The garrison has been transferred, and Guantian can't be left alone, what should I do?
The county government summoned a group of people to help take care of the official fields, and they didn't have to go every day, but once every other day to take care of food.
Don't talk about whether to give money or not, whether to give food or not, in this era, it is a good thing to eat.
There are so many people who sign up that many people can't grab a place even if they grab their heads.
Tian Er happened to be on an errand in the county government, so he got twenty places, his family accounted for one, and the rest of the places were divided with the neighbors.
Being a man can do this, Tian Li is also a responsive figure in Tianjia Village.
"Originally, Wang Ting's plan was to transfer another batch of garrisons to harvest, but there is a new situation in the east, and the garrison who is coming to our county can't come, and no one will collect Guantian, but the army is still waiting for the grain to be put into the pot, and the royal court's order has been transmitted to the county government today, ten stones of grain, for eleven stones of grain......" Tian Er Balabala explained.
"What do you mean?" Tian Li looked confused, what ten stones for eleven stones?
"That is, we take ten stones of ready-made grain and hand it over to the government, and then go to the official field to harvest eleven stones of grain ourselves."
Tian Li frowned slightly.
It is indeed a good thing, but physical strength is the least valuable thing for the croppers.
It is also worth exchanging ten stones from one's own family for eleven stones in the official field, and one time and again, it is equivalent to harvesting twenty-one stones of grain by oneself and getting eleven stones.
"It's too late, isn't it? If it rains, we'll be out of luck this year......," Tanaka said.
"I'm a man, it's okay for a family to change twenty or thirty stones, but it's just harder."
"Are you going to fight with Chu State?" Tian Li looked at his son and asked meaningfully.
Tian Er nodded: "Originally, it was planned to fight after the autumn harvest, in order to ensure the autumn harvest, Wang Shanglet the original army in Zhao State drive to the border to put pressure on Chu State, but Chu State seems to have noticed it, and the army is gathering ......in the near future."
"When did our big man have an army in Zhao State?" Tian Li was stunned, unheard of.
"Wang Li's 400,000 Qin troops surrendered, and more than 200,000 were reorganized on the spot."
'Smack! ’
Tian Li clapped his hands violently, and said excitedly: "Change, fourth, hurry up and go back to get it, and pull all the grain we collected to change, we don't want the eleven stones, just change one, the king of Chu Xiao'er dared to humiliate the king, the big man was holding his breath up and down, we are tired to death, and we have to beat him a turtle grandson......"
