Chapter 473: The people in the village buy potatoes and sweet potato seeds

Speaking of the grain that was dried last month, at the beginning of this month, people from the county government came to collect the grain tax, and every village went to collect it, bringing registration books and oranges and many official errands.

After each family's grain was handed in, everyone's family had a lot less, and they said that they would save their food, hoping to eat until next year's harvest.

Xia Zining thought that her family had a lot of land, and she must be handed over a large amount of grain, but as everyone knows, the field tax under her name does not need to be paid this year, and the official also politely said that the above greeted their county order, saying that the drawings and fire kang drawings she designed to help crops have given the country great help, and two adults have written to the emperor and have been praised by the emperor.

When the people in the village heard this, they were shocked, and they looked at Xia Zining's eyes even more incredible, they knew about the threshers and waterwheels designed by Xia Yatou, and they were really good, but they didn't think that they could alarm the emperor to praise them directly, and they felt more and more that she was very amazing at a young age.

Although she won the honor, Xia Yatou still settled here in Wangjia Village, which is more or less a little festive in Wangjia Village.

Landlords and merchants had to pay a grain tax, or else they would exchange the silver.

Only those who have official positions are not required to collect grain taxes.

If you are admitted to Xiucai, your family will pay 20% of the tax.

Ordinary people are forty percent.

On that day, Xia Zining asked Xiaoqing to order people to go to the mountains to hunt two wild boars, and then distribute ten catties of meat to each family in the village, which was considered a celebration.

Having said that, when Wang Jiahao heard about dried sweet potatoes, he was curious and asked Xia Zining how to do it.

Xia Zining didn't know what to do, so she said that she would think about it and tell them later.

After the meal, Xia Zining found out about the practice of sweet potato fries, and told several Roche families that they had potatoes.

A few people were happy to hear this, so they decided to sell some and leave some to try to sell.

The daughter-in-law of Qingshan who helped together also saw a few families with a pleasing harvest and wanted to plant, planting for a month or two at this time, and maybe they could get some harvest before the snow.

Let's not talk about selling it, it's good to collect your own belongings and keep the grain, at least you can fill your stomach when you don't have too much food.

So, Wang Ruhua and the three families of Luo didn't need to go to the town to sell sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the people in the village bought some when they heard the news, and even the two neighboring villages of Chenjia Village came.

Everyone also heard that this thing tastes good, and the harvest is gratifying, and again, the people in Wangjia Village and Chenjia Village who helped in Xia Zining's house have eaten two dishes in Xia Zining's house.

In the afternoon, after the workers finished work, there were even people from other villages who came to buy potatoes and sweet potatoes, but they were told that they were gone

The village was very envious when they saw that Wang Ruhua's three families had made a sum of money by selling those things at home, and felt that it would be no harm for Xia Zining and Wang Ruhua to plant and do whatever they did in the future.

Another day passed like this, and the next morning, a batch of quilts and daily necessities arrived one after another.

The people in the village were very surprised to see the posture of these dozen carriages and several ox carts behind, and someone came to Wangjia Village first to say that they were looking for Miss Xia, and everyone knew.

The people in the village immediately called Xia Zining, Xia Zining had just eaten breakfast for a while, and when she heard that something was delivered, she went over with a few aunts who had just come over to prepare for cooking.

I told the group to send it to the location of the dormitory at the construction site over there, and rushed over one by one.

After Xia Zining and some villagers who were watching the excitement came over, everyone helped unload the goods and put them on the empty ground, Xia Zining took out the order and looked at it, and asked Luo and them to count the quantity, Wang Xiahua, Sanhu, Wang Ruhua's sister They helped to see if the buckets, pots, etc. were broken.
