In the end, Yang Zilu had to go back 'wet'. In fact, it is to go back in wet clothes. When I arrived at Zheng's house, I was a little embarrassed to borrow a pair of pants from Zheng Datian. It seems that because he knew that Yang Zilu was attacked by mosquitoes, Zheng Dan found a fire plate somewhere, burning a grass that is said to be able to repel mosquitoes. made Yang Zilu's heart warm.

However, Yang Zilu is destined to sleep on the floor tonight, and the injury of the savage black bear cannot make him sleep on the floor, and the little fox is a delicate Didi (Jiaodidi?) This chick killed the wolf...... Yang Zilu, who prides herself on pity and cherishes jade, naturally can't do this. In the end, Yang Zilu had no choice but to choose who to shop the ground. But fortunately, Zheng Dan prefers to be clean, and there are no rats, cockroaches and the like in this house.

Although Yang Zilu is not afraid of mice and cockroaches, when you sleep at night, you suddenly find that a mouse or cockroach is in your body, which is enough for you to be nauseous for a long time.

Yang Zilu originally wanted to sleep lazily, but the sun just wanted to refuse and showed half of his head, and Yang Zilu was pulled up by Zheng Dan. It turned out that the village chief came to their house and talked to Yang Zilu about things. Yang Zilu reluctantly got up with sleepiness, washed up, and went out to see the village chief.

In Yang Zilu's opinion, the village chief should be an old dragon clock, holding a cane to walk people, and the worst is fifty or sixty years old. But in fact, although the village chief is not young, he is definitely not old, and it seems that he is only thirty-five or sixteen.

"Yang Gongzi, hello! My name is Zong Pi, I am the village chief of Huanshaxi Ramie Village, and now I am looking for Gongzi and disturbing people's dreams, I'm really sorry! Zong Bi bowed his hand to Yang Zilu and said politely. It seems that he has been to the school for a few days, and he speaks with a bit of a literati atmosphere.

Yang Zilu nodded and said politely: "The village chief is polite!" I wonder what the village chief is looking for me? ”

When Zong Bi heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "That's the case, you also see that the crops in the sky are almost ripe!" ”

"Oh! Oh, yes! It's almost harvest time! Yang Zilu echoed casually, pondering in his heart: What does he mean by this? Do you want to help with the harvest yourself?

Seeing that Yang Zilu was still at a loss, Zong Bi had no choice but to pick it out directly. "That's right, since Gongzi plans to live in our Lai Luo Village, I don't know what work Gongzi is going to do, so I can report to Zhuji City. In addition, it is almost autumn, and that has to be taxed. If the son has no land, he doesn't need to collect the field tax, but this Ding tax! Childe understands! ”

Although I have not been in this era for a long time, I also know some customs of this era, such as fifteen women and twenty men. But in fact, men do not necessarily mean that they are only twenty years old, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, when there were many wars, and only adults could collect taxes. Therefore, except for the aristocracy, they generally do not wear crowns in their twenties, and they are considered to be Ding by the government at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

And because the Yue Kingdom was defeated a few years ago, the land was lost, and Wu Wangfu sent in order to get back the military expenses on the Yue Kingdom, both men and women are considered adults. And in order to restore the national strength, the Yue State is a little better than the Wu State, that is, the thirteenth is considered an adult, and he comes to collect taxes. For this reason, many people hid in the mountains.

"How much?" Yang Zilu frowned and asked.

"Two hundred dollars for women, five hundred and forty dollars for men!" Zong Bi stretched out three fingers and said helplessly.

"What!" Yang Zilu is no longer a stupid person who doesn't know the current prices, and in the autumn, a bucket of millet is about three yuan, or even less. And an adult man consumes about one and a half stones of millet a month. In other words, the five hundred and forty thousand are equivalent to eighteen stone millet. A man actually has to hand over the equivalent of a year's worth of food for an adult man! Holy, what kind of tax is this!

"Originally, only women were only 100 yuan, and men were 200 yuan. But it has changed since three years ago, and it has become difficult for the king, the king has lost a lot of armor from the soldiers who defeated the battle, and these need to be purchased and built, and the annual tribute required by the Wu State is also indispensable! Fortunately, Dr. Wen was sympathetic to the civilians, so he did not have to serve in the military every year, and the labor service was reduced to one month. Zong Bi smiled bitterly.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "What kind of compassion does this Dr. Wen have!" I think I did this because I was afraid of forcing out the people's uprising! Labor is not just about repairing the walls and clearing the mud from the ditches. Among them, repairing the city wall is the most troublesome, but how do you dare to repair it, aren't you afraid that the husband will really destroy the Yue country with his troops? Not to mention military service, there is no recovery in ten or eight years, where does Yue Guo have the ability to call for Wu Guo and serve a Mao military service! ”

Hearing this, Zong Bi looked at Yang Zilu with wide eyes. Although Yang Zilu's words are not popular, I have to admit that what he said is very reasonable.

"Ahem! Cough! Zong Bi coughed twice in embarrassment, changed the topic abruptly, and asked, "Childe, do you see that you don't have a job yet?" Would you like me to introduce you to one? Speaking of this, Zong Bi paused, "Actually, Gongzi doesn't want to pay taxes, you can go to the mountains to live, of course, it's not me who coerces Gongzi to you, Gongzi, you can come back after the autumn harvest, avoid paying taxes, reclaim a field by yourself, and then enter the household." There's money to pay taxes next year, too! ”

Yang Zilu heard that even if he was dissatisfied with this Ding tax, he had to give in, and there was no need to pay taxes in the mountains. The problem is that life is not easy. Yang Zilu waved his hand helplessly and said: "I will pay this Ding tax when the time comes, but please trouble the village chief to draw a piece of land out and let me build a house." ”

"Childe is preparing to start school?" Zong Pi opened his mouth and asked, in his opinion, these nobles, no matter how down, would not go to the fields to make mud legs, and teaching studies was the best.

"I'm going to be a hunter!" Yang Zilu pursed her lips and said.

When Zong Bi heard this, his eyes widened, not surprised, but dumbfounded. Being a farmer is to eat in the soil, hard work is hard, but it is also relatively safe, just like Zheng Datian, half ploughing the field, half woodcutter, although it is said that you can meet wild beasts, but life is not bad, at least you can support your son to go to school.

But as a hunter, you really eat on the tip of a knife, and look in the dense forest where there are many wild beasts, and you are not sure if you can find a wild beast. And what beasts you find, you don't know, maybe you will encounter fierce animals such as bears and tigers. But thinking of yesterday's incident, Zong Bi was relieved, the other party was not even afraid of a bear, and there was probably no problem with a tiger.
