Chapter 221: The Harvest Season
Although he hasn't been back for two years, Zhao Hui's room is still the same. In the two years that he left, Ye would ask his subordinates to clean the room every few days, so he didn't smell any peculiar smell when he entered, and there was not a trace of dust on the tables and chairs.
Perhaps because he returned to a familiar and safe environment, Zhao Hui slept very soundly this night. However, when the sky outside showed the white of the fish's belly, he quickly got up and began to wash. After all, I still have things to do, and now is not the time to miss the warmth of home.
He was leaving early this morning, and Jinshu knew about it last night. So before dawn that day, she went into the kitchen and made breakfast for Zhao Hui.
After eating breakfast as fast as he could, he rode away on the horse from which he had come. Xiao Xuanyi and the others were still waiting in Ren'an County, so Zhao Hui didn't dare to delay. The parting scene was very simple, and Jin Shu didn't even have time to be sad, and his back disappeared at the entrance of the village. Ye couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know when he will come back next time......
The sun is creeping up the hill, and a new day begins. Although Zhao Hui is gone, the lives of those who stay here still have to go on.
More than half of the renovation work in Qingshui Village has been completed, and the rest is a matter of detail. There is also good news from the counties: all the fruit tree seedlings planted have survived, and most of them have grown new shoots and shoots. The first batch of vegetables planted can also be harvested, and the bosses who have been granted the right to pick during this time are very busy.
When those fresh vegetables were still in the ground, they were booked by major restaurants and inns in Shuzhou. In addition to supplying local merchants in Shuzhou, many people in nearby Fanzhou also came to hear the news. It's just that in this era, transportation is not very convenient, and the shelf life of vegetables is limited, so it may be difficult to buy them from farther away.
However, this is good news for Han Yi. He took the opportunity to open a lot of canning factories, processed these vegetables and then sold them in other states, and made a lot of money. In this way, the brocade book happened to take advantage of it, anyway, she had the majority of the shares of the canning factory.
After the autumn harvest, farmers in each county began to pay taxes, which were then handed over by the county to the state capital, and the progress progressed. The amount of tax paid in Xia was based on the size of the peasant household's household and the area of the land, and the poll tax was not high, but the land tax was collected according to the peasant household's income of about 6 percent of the year's land income.
In other words, if the income from farming is high in the year, the relative tax will be higher. Therefore, when the tax was paid this year, the farmers who had already earned a high income from growing vegetables paid a lot. The more they pay, the more Lin Xiangyuan will be concentrated.
When the tax revenue of each county is complete, the state government will keep a part of it, and the next year the money will be used for local construction or government expenses, and most of the rest will be handed over to the state treasury.
At this moment, Lin Xiangyuan was sitting in the study, looking at the amount of taxes reported by his subordinates, and his eyebrows were full of joy. For the emperor, the most important aspect of how to judge the ability of a local official is to look at the taxes paid by the local government. He could already anticipate how the king would be pleased when his book on taxation was presented.
But Jin Shu didn't know about these things. Because the renovation of Qingshui Village has been basically completed, she still needs to find a way to make the reputation of this place out. Only when more people come here will the income of the local people rise. Although the tourism industry is very profitable, the process of development is not simple.
