Chapter 114: It's Good to Have Wine
The two women were chatting at home, Li Feng left automatically with great interest, Yaya was studying those words seriously on the side, and Li Feng didn't come forward to disturb. Li Feng knew that as long as she finished telling the story, this little girl would be busy for a long time, not only reading and writing those new words, but after that, she would also copy the whole story neatly again. No one is allowed to disturb during this time, otherwise the little one will be angry.
"Oh, I'm so ashamed."
Remembering that when he was a child, every time he went to school, it was like going to the execution ground, comparing himself with other people's little girls, Li Feng could only sigh and go out with a jar of wine, so as not to be hit again.
As soon as he went out, Li Feng went to Lao Tie's house and walked away.
Last time, Lao Tie's extremely abnormal performance, Li Feng knew that this Lao Tie was a person with a big story, and it was a tragic story. As for Li Feng, he also opened his mouth to ask, but Lao Tie didn't say anything, so Li Feng didn't ask anymore.
Li Feng didn't want to interfere in other people's decisions, nor did he want to interfere in other people's thoughts, and he didn't want to interfere in other people's lives. Regardless of whether the other party is a friend or a relative, because Li Feng feels that doing so is the most disrespectful behavior for life. Everyone's life is his own, so how to choose this should also be his own.
People are in pain and don't want to say it, so naturally they have other reasons. When you want to talk, people don't need you to ask, they will tell you As a friend, Li Feng feels that what he can do is to bring a jar of wine from time to time and accompany Lao Tie to drink, which is enough.
"Oh, so busy"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Feng felt that waves of heat were coming, and Lao Tie and Xiaohu were also shirtless, sweaty and busy in the "clanging bell".
"Isn't it time to harvest wheat right away, and when it's over, it won't be long before we have to plant again. Many people need to replenish their tools at home. So, it's a lot more lively, but you're here. No matter how busy you are, you don't have to be busy, Xiaohu went to bring the two plates of peanuts and sauced beef, and then went to call your seventh grandfather. ”
Lao Tie explained to Li Feng while saying to Xiaohu.
After being reminded by Lao Tieyi, Li Feng remembered that winter wheat is planted here, and in summer, it will be the harvest season. This wheat is divided into spring wheat and winter wheat. Generally speaking, in the Kannai area, winter wheat is planted in autumn and harvested in summer due to the slightly higher temperature, while in the Kansai area, due to the low temperature, spring wheat is planted and harvested in autumn in spring.
Although there are still one or two months before the harvest time, many people have already begun to prepare early, after all, this wheat harvest is the top priority. Coupled with this Lao Tie's craftsmanship, it is famous for being good in ten miles and eight towns, and it is normal for Lao Tie to start getting busy now.
"What do you mean that you won't be busy when I come, I think it's because you're not busy when the wine comes, right? Otherwise, as soon as I enter the door, why don't you look at your face first, but directly at your hand?"
"Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same"
As he spoke, Lao Tie worked hard a few times, quenched the sickle in his hand, and threw it to the side. Only then did Li Feng realize that a lot of them had already been built.
"Haha, you kid, this is finally here, I haven't been here for a long time, sit, sit down"
After a hearty laugh came, Li Feng became depressed. This old man, this is the old iron family, not your family. Also, what does it mean to be good that I haven't been here for a long time, isn't it just last night? This mouth is saying that please sit by yourself, but this old man didn't look at Li Feng at all, but looked at the jar of wine talking.
These people, don't care at all, it's a little early to eat now, anyway, there is wine, that's the time to eat.
"Brother Feng, this time, do you want to build a big scythe?"
Suddenly, Xiaohu, who was taking a sip of wine, raised his head and asked Li Feng. There's no way, who called this Li Feng has a criminal record, everything has to be increased and thickened.
"Well, that's fine, let's get a sturdy one."
As for his own situation, where can Li Feng not be clear, it is better to make a sturdy one, that way, faster. You know, that's a lot of work. There are 20 acres at home, 20 acres at the Seventh Master's house, 40 acres at Lao Tie, and 80 acres of wheat to be harvested.
Before Li Feng came, the three families had always planted and harvested together. To put it bluntly, it was almost Lao Tie and Qiye helping Rou Niang and them to farm. Especially a few years ago, Xiaohu was still young, how could she farm just by relying on Rou Niang, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Especially for Lao Tie, it doesn't matter if he farms or not, with his exquisite craftsmanship, he can live comfortably without farming. The reason why 40 acres are still planted is to help Rou Niang's family, and second, to collect more grain for Rou Niang. Otherwise, just 20 acres of land, Rou Niang's rations are not enough at all.
This love is rare, and there is no doubt that the three families continue to work together.
"Little madman, now that the temperature is warm, when will you plant your rice? I've heard that it has to be seeded and then replanted. Don't worry about the time of harvesting. Old man, I can tell you, this year, you are the main force."
Maybe it was when it came to the matter of wheat, the seventh master immediately thought of Li Feng's rice matter.
"Don't worry, Seventh Master, it will be planted in two days, and the seedlings will be planted in a few months, and there will be no conflict with the wheat harvest. By the way, I discussed with Rou Niang, and in the future, our family will not plant this wheat. If you see which family wants to plant the land at home, you will give it to whoever you want to plant. ”
Li Feng will definitely not forget the matter of rice, and at the same time he remembered another thing, so he talked to the seventh master by the way.
"What is discussed with Rou Niang, I think you are lazy, well, but it's up to you. Anyway, you kid, no matter how you get it, you won't starve to death. It's okay not to plant, so as not to tire Rou Niang, I think so, you are not bad at that little bit of land rent, just don't want land rent, whoever plants will let them pay your share of the Ding tax, how"
As soon as he heard that Li Feng didn't farm, the seventh master immediately became anxious, but when he thought about it, with Li Feng's ability, just hunting could make his family live a good life. What's more, there is also the second pot head that made money that day. Besides, isn't this kid still tossing one or twenty acres of rice?
However, he knew what Li Feng meant when he said that he would give seeds to others, and it must have been sent for nothing. As a man, Li Feng has all kinds of taxes on his head, so he changed it.
"Ding tax? Oh, Seventh Master, speaking of which, I don't know how this is collected, you should tell me about it."
After the reminder of the seventh master, Li Feng remembered that he still had to pay taxes. However, he really doesn't know how to collect taxes in the so-called Tang Dynasty, but last time, he really didn't know what the seventh master said about renting and the like, and how much he collected.
"Well, my Datang's taxes, in general, are mainly based on rent, of which .........."
Hearing Li Feng ask this question, the seventh master immediately explained it to him in detail, and Li Feng also listened carefully. It turns out that in addition to the rent adjustment, there is also a household tax and a land tax. And these taxes are much lower than Li Feng imagined.
"This Li Lao Er seems to be also a poor bastard, with such a low tax, and there are no commercial taxes, customs duties, etc., I really don't know how the Tang Dynasty operated."
After listening to the explanation of the Seventh Master, Li Feng immediately thought in his mind that Li Shimin must be very poor. Such a tax, obviously, is extremely unreasonable and too low. It was so low that Li Feng couldn't imagine how the Tang Dynasty was functioning normally.
In addition, such a low tax rate must have caused the treasury to be extremely empty. Once there is an emergency, there is no money, how to deal with it. It's no wonder that once something bad happens, the government and the opposition are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they have no money, can they not panic. However, Li Feng just thought about it casually, these things, what did he have to do with them, they were not things he should consider at all.
"Well, then let the Seventh Master be your master."
Anyway, what does the seventh master say, then what should I do, Li Feng doesn't care.
