Chapter 326: Gaining the Initiative

When Wu Guifang heard this, her eyes lit up.

She had long wanted to let herself, a big family, cross the clear road in the government.

If they don't cross the road with the government, aren't they just displaced people without foundation?

So, Wu Guifang couldn't help but raise her head and said to Wu Hongsheng seriously.

"Boss, this is an opportunity!"

"Let's go to the house today! Moreover, this village chief or something, it must be from our family! Moreover, we have three surnames here, and we will definitely set the name of the village when the time comes...... if our village is called Wujia Village, it would really be great......

Hearing this, Wu Hongsheng thought about it and nodded.

He didn't say that he should be a lieutenant chief, at least the village chief still had to get his hands on it.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management.

As long as he has the right to speak, the land here and the people here are basically within his control.

So, Wu Hongsheng hurriedly went back to the house and put on his particularly decent robe.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of me?"

Wu Guifang took a look at it and felt that after he put on this body, he looked tall and mighty, with a majestic and extraordinary temperament, but he had the appearance of a little bit of a scholar. She couldn't help but nod her head.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Still, I'll give it a haircut. Also, you have to wash your face and brush your teeth before you go out. I'll give you some more balm. ”

Wu Guifang's speed is very fast.

It took less than 5 minutes to dress Wu Hongsheng up.

After Wu Hongsheng took a self-portrait in the mirror, he felt that he suddenly seemed to be several years younger.

So, when Wu Hongsheng stepped on a pair of black soap boots and came out, everyone in the Wu family widened their eyes.

"Oh, Dad~, you look like this, it's really magnificent! Mother really has a pair of skillful hands,......"

When he saw Wu Sanhu, as soon as he saw himself, he slapped himself on the back. Both eyes were shining, and they were full of envy. Wu Hongsheng smiled reservedly at that time and said steadily.

"From now on, our family has the conditions, and life is more comfortable, you can also call your daughter-in-law and make such a body for you."

Wu Sanhu listened, and waved his hand and shook his head again and again, "Dad~, how can it be done?" ”

"How much does it cost to get dressed like this?"

Wu Guifang, who was standing on the side, immediately understood when she heard this, what was the third child in her family struggling with.

Isn't it just for that little money?

Did he really think that such a set of clothes he made for Wu Hongsheng with a sewing machine would cost him a lot of money?

Thinking of this, Wu Guifang said with a smile at that time.

"Third child, your father's clothes actually don't cost a lot of money."

"It's just a matter of a few feet of cloth."

"No matter what, your father is also the head of the family and the pillar of our family, he goes out to do errands and contacts with the people in the yamen, and the clothes on his body can't be worn too badly. After all, the Buddha depends on gold, and people rely on clothes. Others respect Luo Yi first and then others. You, don't think about what you have or don't have. ”

"You all hurry up and pack up and dress up. At least comb this hair neatly. Don't get any dust and mud on your clothes. If time is urgent, don't delay your work, hurry up! lest the people of the Wang family or other families seize the opportunity in front of those two small officials who are doing things and become the leader of our place,......"

Seeing his daughter-in-law, she was not in a hurry in dealing with this matter, and she was quite disciplined. Wu Hongsheng urged his sons and grandchildren at that time, "Go ahead, go ahead, quickly wash your face, and then comb your hair neatly with water." Then pick up your own most decent clothes, put them on, and ......, let's go to the Wang family to see what the situation is. ”

After Wu Hongsheng finished his order, the men and women present hurried back to the house and packed up.

It took them less than two minutes to rush out.

Then, half of the men followed Wu Hongsheng closely and went out together.

The remaining half of the people hurriedly packed up their yards. And stuff from your own house.

When it was almost cleaned up, Wu Guifang told those people with a serious face.

"You teenage kids, you're all in your middle age now. I'm worried that our big family will have to collect your poll tax when we go to the house. ”

"Later, if anyone wants to come to our house, as long as you hear a knock at the door, you can quickly take your younger brothers and sisters and hide in our cellar."

"And you daughters-in-law, half of them are also hiding in it."

Everyone present knew that the head tax of the pillow government was still relatively heavy.

Don't look at every adult, only 120 wen a year is charged.

However, these 120 texts are a lot of burden for every family.

Therefore, the vast majority of families will choose to hide their hukou.

Especially for those who are not very old.

Children at this young age may not be able to grow up.

If it is very early, give them a house. It's really unfortunate that they died in the middle of growing up. Wouldn't the poll tax paid to them by those families all go down the drain?

Therefore, in many places among the people, there is now an unspoken rule.

That is their own son, and when it is not time to marry a wife and have children, they resolutely refuse to give their sons a household.

Only when their sons have a few more grandchildren will they pay the poll tax as a last resort.

As for the daughters of the family, they can not pay if they can.

Because almost every household in the countryside is thinking about it. It's just enough to raise such a money-losing product, why should you spend money on her?

It is only when they get married that some of them will think of registering them.

Of course, many shrewd farmers will deliberately close their households after their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. It is still the daughter-in-law's household.

What to say that the daughter-in-law died.

In this way, the daughter-in-law who is still living in their family does not need to pay such a sum of money, which many families cannot afford to pay the poll tax.

120 wen a year per adult, which doesn't sound like much. But if this family, there are 50 people. Then, they have a large family of people, and they have to pay 6,000 wen every year!

6,000 yuan, that's 6 yuan.

It's almost 6 taels of silver.

However, the total annual income of the vast majority of rural households will only be 22 or 3 taels.

This money still has to feed their family.
