Chapter 208: The Season of Receiving

"Erchen for the folk Tai'an distillery to thank the queen mother for the reward, the queen mother Wan'an!" As a representative, the eldest prince has knelt down to thank him, and from this moment on, Niangjiu is the palace tribute wine, both in terms of identity and reputation.

The eunuch beside the queen has gone down to write the holy decree and bring the reward to the Tai'an distillery in the suburbs of Beijing, which is a few miles away from the capital, and the eunuch has been driving all the way to the Tai'an distillery in a car.

"Fengtian carrier, pass on the palace Yizhi, Tai'an distillery produces Niang wine, the wine chapter is pleasant, the taste is mellow, and the woman has the effect of nourishing and nourishing the skin, the palace feels very good after drinking, it should be a tribute, from today onwards, the imperial seal Tai'an distillery is the palace tribute wine, and rewards the gold one hundred taels, jade Ruyi a handle, a good Jiangnan silk, Qin this." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he waited for the other party to accept the holy decree.

"Tian Hai, director of Caomin Tai'an Distillery, thank Lord Longen, Queen Mother Chitose Chitose!" The people who knelt down in a winery, Tian Hai knelt on the ground to accept the queen's decree with both hands.

After receiving the decree, Tian Hai stuffed a tael of silver to the eunuch and said that he was invited to eat and drink, and the little eunuch looked at the little factory director with satisfaction, praising him for his eye-catching ability to do things.

When this good news reached Stone Village, the product of Stone Village was a good harvest, and both the suburbs and the village were full of happy villagers.

"Now you can see that our paddy has grown and is falling, and we are starting to harvest today! Note that it is necessary to harvest the ears, that is, we cannot cut too low, and we will have to fish after harvesting the ears back and threshing. Yu Shu said that these days, everyone is afraid of accidents with the fish in the field, everyone stays at the edge of the field, and now it is finally time to harvest, and everyone is already exhausted. , Yu Shu asked everyone to harvest Qisui, just to preserve the fish, Yu Shu asked Pei Qingrin to buy a wooden ox and a flowing horse back to transport the ears of grain to Heping for threshing.

Everyone pulled up their trouser legs together and went down to the field to cut the ears of grain and came back, with the family as a unit, one person harvested and one person transported the ears of grain to the ridge, one person harvested the ears of grain in the ridge, and one person pushed the wooden oxen and horses to transport them to Heping for threshing, and then Yu Shu needed to come over to collect the rent.

As for the fish in the paddy field, Yu Shu plans to harvest the two ears of grain, and immediately catch the ears, each family only catches the one in charge of the field, and puts it in the barrel of a dustpan and a layer of wooden barrels distributed by Yu Shu.

Because in ancient times, there was no platform scale, only a large scale with a rod, and every household was settled after the scale was completed, and the scene was very lively.

Yu Shu found Liu's sister-in-law and the big tiger to help collect the fish rent, the fishmonger finished reporting the total amount and then calculated the money, Yu Shu harvested sixty percent of the farmers got forty percent, and the five nearby villages followed their own farming, the fish fields in Shajia Village have been destroyed, and there are four villages left, and Yu Shu of Stone Village used eight people to collect rent, and after collecting this side, he went to the next village to collect rent, and the other four villages collected rent in this order.

At the end of the day, Yu Shuchun's income from the four villages added up to almost five hundred taels, of which one-third of the seedlings in Shajia Village were damaged due to poisoning, and all the fish were destroyed.

From the day of the beginning of the harvest Yu Shu was busy with her feet not touching the ground, every day several villages took turns to run, it was obvious that she was short of manpower, the fishmonger was notified in advance, the family settled, the big head was handed over to the owner, the small one was handed over to the tenants, the dustpan was taken out from the farmer's barrel and weighed, the weight was out on the spot and another bucket was changed, and all the dustpan scales containing fish in a family were repeatedly used to calculate the total amount of money, and the small head was handed over to the tenants, and the big head was given to Yu Shu to designate the person who received the money.

There is no problem with the collection of money in each household, and the person in charge of watching the money collection will write a self-made receipt by Yu Shu, and fill in the amount in it.

"Hard work everyone, we harvested the fish fields in four villages in one day, just to not give the enemy hiding in the shadows a chance, I will always remember the tragedy of Shajia Village, we have to worry about one more day if we stay one more day, so I want to solve all the fish fields in one day, so that the other party has not reacted, we have been safely in the bag, everyone has worked hard, today at noon to our Pei family in Stone Village to eat together." Yu Shu watched as the farmers diverted all the water from the harvested farmland through the ditch.

This is the early rice harvest has been completed, and the late rice will start in a few days, so she can take advantage of the time to invite everyone to eat and talk to everyone about the late rice.

In the past, they were harvested at about this time, and after harvesting, the farmland either went to plant vegetables or was so barren, and they didn't start planting again until the spring of the second year, and now Yu Shu proposed two rice a year, which is a new planting method, and I don't know how to do it, everyone came to Pei's house with questions.

"Let's sit down first, I'll go see if the meal is ready?" Yu Shu asked everyone to sit in the courtyard first, she went into the stove room to see how the food was doing, before Yu Shu planned to feast everyone today, before she was busy with the things in the field, Yu Shu invited Zhang Po and Aunt Six from the village to come to the house to help cook, these two people are older and don't go to work in the fields, so they have time to help themselves cook.

"Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Six, how is the meal? Can I see if there's anything I can help with? "Yu Shu entered the stove room and saw two elders busy in the stove, one was burning the fire in the stove, and the other was stir-frying vegetables in a pot.

"Yu Shu, the rent of our Wangjia Village is here, Wangjia Village has a total of twelve acres of land, and sixty percent of the rent is fifty-two taels, you can collect it." When the village chief of Wangjia Village saw Yu Shu coming, he stood up and handed over the money he had collected.

Wangjia Village is Wang Chunxiu's village, which is next door to Stone Village.

The rest of the people also said that they had so much money in their hands that they had never seen in their lives, and these honest villagers were a little nervous, so they wanted to hand over the money quickly, like a hot potato.

"Well, take your time, start with Stone Village, I asked you not to put aside the money collected in each village, there is no confusion, right?" Yu Shu knew that she would have to settle the accounts later, and when she asked the two couples in Stone Village to help at the beginning, she asked them to take a few more pockets to hold money and receipts.

The receipt is a long strip of paper, which needs to be written which village, what name, how many catties and how much, and then the tenant presses his fingerprint, in duplicate, one to the tenant, and one to the person in charge of them to leave for liquidation.
