Chapter 152: The Great Harvest

[Ran^Text^Library] Wang Hong almost fled, he hated Qin Shaoyou very much in his heart, but the instinctive fear of partiality still prevailed, and he returned to Henan Mansion, he weighed it again and again, and still let the person go. [For more exciting novels, please visit]

It's just that......

He seemed to be in a very bad mood, bared his teeth and grinned for a while, and found that he couldn't help that Qin Duwei.

This thing...... It seems that we can only give up.

When the eaters returned safely, order was restored to the whole of Mengxi.

After all, the swords and swords on the top have nothing to do with ordinary eaters, and all they can do is to grow tea and mulberry.

Qin Shaoyou's mind was taken back again.

Iron striking still needs its own hardness, and now Qin Shaoyou knows what he wants, so naturally he will not put his efforts on a face-to-face body, that kind of goods is not worth his trouble.

And more importantly, it is still his mulberry, his tea, and his silk.

Winter passed quickly, surprisingly quickly.

It's just that in this winter, Wu Zetian in Ziwei Palace heard a lot of not very good words.

Qin Shaoyou secretly hid the chaotic party.

Qin Shaoyou has accumulated a lot of money.

Qin Shaoyou is not a thing.

Such things, Wu Zetian actually didn't care, after all, she could trust Qin Shaoyou, but after talking too much, she couldn't help but be a little tired, what did Qin Shaoyou do that made him angry, so that so many people arranged him, in this world, a slap can't be slapped after all.

It was also at the beginning of spring that Shangguan Wan'er finally got in touch with Qin Shaoyou.

A liaison is a letter.

When Qin Shaoyou received this letter of thousands of words, he was a little excited in his heart, he hadn't seen Shangguan Wan'er for a long time, and somehow he missed it in his heart.

The letter talked about His Majesty's body, some rumors from the palace, and some major events in the Jingshi.

"Gossip ......" When Qin Shaoyou put down the letter, there was a slight smile in his eyes, the matter in the temple. He hadn't cared about it for a long time, but he knew that these rumors were fatal.

Confront these deadly things. He seemed to have begun to make up his mind.

Soon, though, he was distracted by a lot of things.

Spring has begun, and there are too many things to be busy with.

The mulberry tree has set leaves, and it is time to raise silkworms, and the camellia has also produced leaves. In addition, the fruit of the camellia is the tea seed, the tea seed, in fact, there is no use, at least for now, but it makes people find ways to buy it on a large scale, and now this thing is almost worthless, so it is not only in Henan Province. Even in Hebei and the state capitals along the river, people are also invited to go up to the mountains to pick.

This thing is very useful to Qin Shaoyou, because it can give birth to one thing - tea oil.

And everything that involves oil stars, in this era, is often profiteering, because the oil of this era is very precious, and the vast majority of oil is still in animal oil, as for vegetable oil, there are very few. After all, there are no olives or peanuts, so there are not many things that can be made into vegetable oil, except for sesame seeds and vegetable oil. It's lackluster.

As for the current sesame oil and vegetable oil, and even the tea oil refined by some people, in fact, most of them are used for other purposes, and they are really used for food, but because of the limitations of the process, it is almost difficult to eat.

Of course in this day and age. Some of the people in the upper position eat meat, but as the people at the bottom, because of the rare meat, it is naturally impossible to come into contact with luxury goods such as butter and lard, which often leads to malnutrition, yellow face and thin muscles, and even leads to many diseases.

Right now...... Qin Shaoyou found a substitute, and he decided to squeeze oil. There are two kinds of tea oil extraction process, one is the so-called military oil, which is very simple to squeeze out, and is mainly used to cope with the maintenance of swords. The other edible oil is not easy, although the real edible tea oil did not become popular until the Song Dynasty, and Qin Shaoyou in his previous life, when he was a child, he also saw many rural areas use primitive methods to make this kind of tea oil.

It's just that the memory is long after all, so after he asked people to build an oil mill, he began to use these fragmented memories to refine tea oil...... It worked.

When he saw the grease falling from the funnel into the oil drum like a waterfall, Qin Shaoyou knew that the opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him.

After raising mulberry, silkworms should be raised, and after silkworms were raised, cocoons should be formed, and after cocooning, they should be tile, and after spinning, they should be directly made into silk or embroidered with textures.

After the tea leaves are picked, they have to make tea, and after the tea trees have seeds, they have to squeeze oil.

There are so many things, and there are so many things, but there are many things to do.

However, for the eaters, this time is enough to teach them to breathe a sigh of relief, whether it is to grow tea or mulberry, they are all worried, after all, no one has ever taken their own land to plant these things, and they all say that they can get money this year, but after all, this is just an empty promise, who knows if it is true or false?

But when the tea leaves opened and the county prince's Zhuangzi began to collect tea leaves, the entire Mengjin suddenly boiled.

Truckloads of tea were taken away, but what was exchanged for real money was in hand.

But...... The only regrettable thing is that Qin Shaoyou collects taxes, and this tax is unguardable, Zhao Liujia has thirty acres of land, because the land is not good, not fertile, so it is planted with camellia, and the tea picked now is only more than 200 catties, which is a little worse than the harvest of several other households, but twenty wen a catty out, this is a real four money, and Zhao Liu also has a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, who are now spinning and embroidering in the private workshop in Zhuangzi, where not only a noon dry meal, but also more than 100 yuan of income, His own sons, one is responsible for driving, specifically for Zhuangzi transportation, but the income is also a lot, in addition to the second son in the unity camp training, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, this big family, a year, only afraid of eleven or twelve income.

This income may not be worth mentioning for those who do small business in the city, but it is a lot of wealth for this kind of peasant household who usually eats and drinks enough and sleeps well.

As for Zhuangzi, they will not give enough money, because their algorithm is very simple, that is, twenty yuan a pound of tea, only give you fifteen wen, and the other five wen are taxes for the unity camp, as for your mother-in-law in the private workshop, she originally had a salary of 180 wen a month, but I am sorry, I can only give 150 wen, and the other three cents are used to raise soldiers.

This kind of tax method is really unprecedented, because the taxes collected by the imperial court are actually the most inaccurate, the taxes in the county are often collected by the high gate, and the high gate says how much is how much, and when it comes to the county, it is sent to the state, and the state has to make false reports, which is the crux of the problem, because this layer of control has led to a certain degree of the greatest waste and deduction, often a family levied a hundred catties of grain, but what can really enter the imperial treasury, I am afraid that it is more than 30 catties.

Not to mention, the phenomenon of concealment by those high-ranking families and wealthy households makes the actual number of people who pay taxes not necessarily exceed one-third of the population.

And here, because all economic activities are closely related to the county government, whether you grow tea and silk to sell, whether your mother-in-law goes to work in a silk workshop or an embroidery workshop, or your son goes to drive for Zhuangzi, or goes to Zhuangzi to make iron, you can never avoid Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi directly adopts the method of tax deduction first, and then sends you money, so that any concealment has nothing to hide.

In this way, although the villagers also have complaints and dissatisfaction, thinking that this Zhuangzi is a little more, after all, it is a tax of twenty and five, but this kind of complaint does not continue to ferment, because everyone knows that if you are not willing to do things for Zhuangzi, you are afraid that the life will be more bitter, compared to the villagers of other villages, and even more than those free people who own more land, in fact, their income is not low, and they can not only live a good life, but also live a good life.

It's just that everyone doesn't grow grain, which leads to a new problem, that is, although there is money in hand, it is no longer possible to be as self-sufficient as before, the original survival has been completely broken, and it has been fragmented, people like Zhao Liu, even if there are more than a dozen times a year at home, but after all, they have to eat and dress, where does this rice come from, where do the clothes come from? And where do shoes and even tools of labor come from?

As a result, Gongqin Shaoyou of Mengjin County, as a personal padded jacket for the eaters, quickly found a solution.

He carved out a plot of land near his Zhuangzi to attract traders to sell all kinds of needs, and soon the merchants of Luoyang City flocked to him...... There are tens of thousands of households here, and what is even more terrifying is that these tens of thousands of households, almost all of them have cash in their hands, they eat, drink, wear, and their spending power will never be less than those middle-aged people in Luoyang City, and may even be more, many state capitals, don't look at a state with a population of hundreds of thousands, but so what? More than ninety-five percent of the population there grows their own food, eats their own food, wears their own clothes, shoes and hats, and may spend their entire lives in addition to buying some salt and needlework, and it is impossible to contribute half a penny to the vendors, so to a certain extent, the consumption power of the people here may be ten or even a hundred times that of those who are self-sufficient.

Can this kind of place not be popular?
