Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sparse west wind, with a cool and slightly cold and rich harvest fragrance, slowly blew from the distant clear sky, the rice waves floated, and the fields full of heavy rice turned golden in an instant.

It's finally time for the autumn harvest! The farmer uncle happily returned the grain from the field, with a smile on his face, and it was another bumper harvest year.

After saving enough food for the family for one year and seeds for the next year, people who still have surplus food began to prepare to sell the surplus food in exchange for some silver, and then buy various daily necessities and, more importantly, pay taxes with the silver.

The busiest time for the three classes and six rooms in the county arrived, and the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the households went out together, starting from the county seat of Fang County, towards the carpet screening of various towns and towns in the southeast and northwest, and began to urge the autumn from door to door.

The action is very fast, there are few helpless people, but the speed is pitiful.

Since Uncle Zhang's reform of the "one whip" law, when the government urges the people to pay taxes, it does not collect grain and rice, but asks for silver. As a result, it has given rise to ordinary people who sell grain and rice in exchange for money to pay taxes.

The local wealthy families also got busy, and began to expand their warehouses and open their stores to collect grain.

Anyway, many ordinary people have to pay taxes but have no money in their hands, they must sell grain, and their business is never lacking, so they can keep the price of grain harvested in the new autumn very low, very low!

The better the year, the lower the price of food.

The eldest brother of the house, the Chen family, was the first to open the door, and a huge sign was hung at the door of the grain and rice store, and the purchase price of the grain and rice was also given, and the new rice was one or two silver and six stones!

On the same day, the rest of the grain and rice stores in Houjie were listed one after another, such as the Yuan family, the Wu family, the Zhu family and the Ye family, as if they had been negotiated, and at the same time gave the purchase price of six stones.

"It's really a ** businessman, the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world were ruined by this gang of inhuman moths!" After listening to the report of the next person, Liu Yuanshan snorted coldly, put the book he was reading on the desk, and said, "They are fat one by one, what should the people do?" Heaven and earth are unkind, ......"

"Shhh Liu Xin next to him made a shushing gesture.

Liu Yuanshan shook his head indifferently, continued to pick up the book, his eyes stared at the words, but he asked casually: "Is our grain and rice store ready?" ”

In order to join in the purchase of this year's autumn grain, Liu Yuanshan began to prepare as early as ten days ago, purchased a small grain store, and made several simple granaries.

"Master Hui, you're all ready!" Liu Da lowered his head and said respectfully: "The work and the shopkeeper are all selected from the family, and the people are reliable!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Yuanshan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's start today and harvest grain!" ”

"And our price?"

"One tael of silver, two stones!"

"Ah......" Although Liu Xin had heard Liu Yuanshan say it a long time ago, when this price was to be implemented, he couldn't help but be surprised, this price was almost no different from the usual price of grain and rice.

"Young master, is this ......" Liu Da wanted to speak and stopped!

"There's nothing wrong with it, go, just do what I say, I want to see, why are these moths fighting for us this year?"

According to Liu Xin's predictions, this year, Fang County can sell more grain in about more than 300,000 stones, Liu Yuanshan now has 100,000 taels of cash in his hands, although it is less than 50,000 taels, but the people are far away and some are close, it is impossible to sell grain at the same time, as long as the price of rice is stable, drag it out for a month or two, and then take some money from the family osmanthus soap business to make up, it should not be a problem.

"San Lang, the construction of the pass has been completed for three floors, and the cement concrete city wall has been raised more than one person high, I don't know if it meets the regulations you said, if you have time, you have to go over and have a look!" Liu Xin said suddenly.

"Oh!" Liu Yuanshan suddenly thought about it, put down the scroll in his hand, frowned and said: "I'm afraid it won't work in the past two days, as soon as our grain and rice store opens, I don't know what tricks those bastards of the Ye family will use, wait for our grain and rice store to stabilize a little for two days, and I'll go back in two days!" ”

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go over there and watch first." After Liu Xin finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

At the time of the autumn harvest, although the county is very busy, the tax has always been controlled by the household, and he can't insert half a needle as a county official, but he has become a real idler like the county Huang Xiong, but he is an idle guy who does practical things, and he has nothing to do recently, and he goes to see the place where the pass is built every day.

During this time, since Liu Yuanshan didn't have time to go to Guan Pass to watch, he even had to live there himself.

……

Houjie is the rice grain street of Fang County, a short alley, a wide bluestone street, on both sides of the rows of shops such as Lin lined up, there are 14 or 5 stores, all of them are elite grain, rice and oil stores, there are people in the county with heads and faces, almost all of them have one or two stores here.

In normal times, many people come in and out to buy and sell rice and grain, especially during the autumn harvest.

At this time, although it is not very congested, at a glance, the streets are full of people.

"Alas......" An old man with a slumped body, with a bitter face, shook his head and sat under the wooden pillar at the door of a shop, and said to himself: "Dog official, you are specially bullying us ordinary people!" ”

"Dog officer!" A middle-aged man next to him who looked dark-skinned, with a look of indignation on his face, clenched his fists and said: "Zhang Ge is the biggest dog official, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't sell grain, and directly hand over grain to the yamen, would we be able to use the silver?" ”

"Alas!" The old man sighed again and whispered, "You make a quieter voice, let the people in the yamen hear, and it's okay to be caught in the south prison?" ”

The middle-aged man was still indignant, but he didn't say anything, and after a pause, he said: "There is no place to reason in this world, one tael of silver and six stones of rice, which is worse than when the harvest was in arrears in previous years, and their family has all discussed it." Dad, let's not sell it, it's better to go to Huang Yuanwai's house to borrow some money and put it on first, and then sell it and pay it back when the price of this grain rises. ”

"What do you know, Huang Yuanwai is a good person?" As soon as the old man heard Huang Yuanwai, his face immediately flushed with excitement: "The donkey rolls, don't think about paying it back if you borrow it!" ”

"Then we can only admit it?" The young man was clearly unconvinced.

"Alas, what can we do, fortunately, this year's harvest is good, let's just sell some autumn money, and wait for the price of rice to go up, let's talk about it."

"That oil and salt ......"

"Eat less, you won't die!" The old man waved his hand and motioned for his son to pull the food from the car to the nearby shop to sell.

At this moment, a grain and rice shop next to it suddenly opened the door, and a young shopkeeper came out of it, holding a gong in his hand and striking it, which was louder than the gong of the county magistrate parade on the street.

"Bang ......" accompanied by the sound of gongs, the shopkeeper spoke: "Fellow villagers, Liu's grain and rice store is open, the grain has been harvested, and the sun-dried clean and good rice is one or two silver and two stones!" ”
