Chapter 394: It's All Idle
Do you live here? There are villages around, so it is inevitable that someone will investigate or something later, so I went to the mayor's house early and recorded the household registration.
After crossing a small ravine, Tong Xiaowu walked towards the village, and saw several women sitting under a big willow tree at the entrance of the village from a distance, and Aunt Li was also among them.
"Aunt Li, I heard that the little couple from your side is very handsome, right?" A woman on one side asked.
"It's really good-looking, but it's not good to be a person, and I still wonder, why did you come to our poor and remote place? After understanding, I realized that I couldn't get along outside, so I chose us, just their way of talking, it is estimated that they can't get along anywhere, so they can only come to our countryside to rent a few acres of land and live a mess! ”
Aunt Li pouted and said, her eyes were about to turn to the sky, as if she didn't like Tong Xiaowu and them very much.
Yesterday, Tong Xiaowu scolded her twice, she was naturally unhappy, and in front of everyone, there were no good words!
"Also, who chooses us for a little ability in everything, you look at our village, it is the poorest village in the entire Qiyuan County, even the school in the county seat, the children in our village can't afford to go......" Another woman also spoke.
"What's the use of going to school? It's better to herd cattle at home, get two cows, raise them for two or three years, breed four calves, and sell them for four or five taels of silver to say that a daughter-in-law, and you can't get a reputation in school, what's the use? Aunt Li objected.
At this time, Tong Xiaowu walked over, and everyone looked at her, their eyes were like looking at a rare thing, their faces were full of exploration and curiosity.
Tong Xiaowu came to everyone and asked, "Hello elders, I want to inquire, where is the elder family?" We moved here yesterday and came here today to record the household registration! ”
According to the law of Xuanyuan, the floating population also needs to be registered, of course, this is also an official requirement, if you enter, you will enter, and you need to pay taxes every year.
Tong Xiaowu took into account the particularity of her identity, if someone came to the village to investigate and recorded the household registration, she would be less troublesome.
"The third ...... over there"
Someone pointed to the entrance of the village, and Aunt Li touched the person when she saw this scene, and she didn't want the person to tell her.
Tong Xiaowu nodded, "Thank you!" ”
With that, she walked towards the entrance of the village, came to the chief's house and knocked on the door.
To say that this mountain village is like this, a stranger is a handsome little lady, and one by one's curiosity is rising.
Ever since Tong Xiaowu finished asking, the people who were standing under the big willow tree had been looking at her until she came to the chief's house, knocked on the door, and entered the courtyard, and they didn't turn back.
"Where do you think she's from? By the way, do the two of them have children? How long have you been married? Are the elderly in the family all there? It can't be an elopement, right? ”
This person likes gossip, and in ancient times, there was no entertainment, so he naturally liked to talk about things he saw and knew.
When Aunt Li heard this, she pursed her lips:
"It's impossible to elope, the people who came to repair the house before are their relatives, if they elope, how can relatives help? But I've seen the one who repaired the house, and he was even better-looking, tall, good-looking, and the yard of the house was all made by him himself.
It seems that it should be this woman's brother, if it is an uncle or a brother-in-law, how can he be so concerned, even food, fruits, vegetables, everything is ready, this is because he is afraid that his sister will be wronged, so he is so concerned......"
"Whew, where's her house? What did you do before? ”
Here, a group of people stood together and talked about other people's gossip, and over there, Tong Xiaowu had already entered Sun Lichang's courtyard and took out his household registration book, "Sun Lichang, my husband and I moved here yesterday, the marriage book is here, and the household registration book is here......"
The ancient marriage book is very simple, you can write one with a piece of paper, and there is no marriage certificate or anything like that, as for the household registration booklet, it was made by Xuanyuan Yuchen before the people who had no desire, and it can't be said to be true or false, but there is anyway.
Sun Li looked at the two things with a long face, then nodded, took out a piece of paper and wrote it down, "Okay, after a while, you can just pay the two of you this year's taxes!" ”
Tong Xiaowu frowned when she heard this, and asked, "Isn't Xuanyuan's personal tax collected after the autumn of the year every year?" Why is this to be given? ”
When Sun Lichang heard this, the beard on the corner of his mouth trembled, his eyes squinted at Tong Xiaowu, and he said:
"Is place the same as place? You are new, you are a new household in this village, be positive in everything, can you have your disadvantages? This is for you here, this tax is 300 wen for one person, and 600 wen for two of you.
Submit it early, I'll write your name in front of you, hand it over to the town, and let the mayor see it, and you have to pay it anyway if you pay it late, but it's not good after the New Year, it's a hundred dollars long, one hundred dollars for each person, and two people are two hundred dollars, don't say I didn't tell you......"
Sun Lichang glanced Tong Xiaowu up and down, although he looks good, but his brain is dead, he has come here, so he doesn't know how to take something? It's still new, and I'm not afraid of being bullied by the villagers.
But also, they live along the ditch, there are a total of three families there, and they are not involved in farming, so naturally there is no conflict of interest, and when she plants the field, when there is friction with the neighbors, she knows that he is useful!
Tong Xiaowu's eyes were cold, and he nodded, "I know the elder Li, then I'll go back first!" ”
After speaking, Tong Xiaowu picked up her household registration book and marriage book and turned around and left Sun Lichang's house, what was going on in his head, she knew better than anyone else.
Although the situation in Nanzhou is different from that in Buzhou, there are regulations on personal taxes across the country, and the peasant households are up to 60 wen per person a year, and they even ask her for 300 wen, and they say that they will grow by 100 after the New Year, which is simply a robber who uses public office to squeeze the people's hard-earned money.
How much grain does such a village harvest per acre? How much does it cost? How much is left after removing the rent? One mouth is three hundred wen per person, so if there is a family of seven or eight people in this family, it will not cost two or three taels of silver? Isn't that supposed to make people die?
This is not a good thing! Seeing that she is from out of town, I want to pinch her, no way, she will make him look good sooner or later!
Tong Xiaowu walked out of the chief's house and walked towards his house, when the big willow tree passed on the way, everyone was still chatting, but when they saw her coming, they all stopped talking, and wanted her to pay attention to the salute, and sent her away, and they resumed their previous liveliness.
