Chapter 359: Excessive Taxes

The autumn harvest has just ended.

Every household is preparing to sell new grain in exchange for some money, and this year's grain is in good condition, and it will definitely be sold at a good price.

Unexpectedly, it was at this time.

The grain tax is coming.

As a person from the Tianyuan Dynasty, he had to pay some grain taxes every year, which was not much. But this time...... There are a few more to hand.

"What? 200 catties of grain per acre of land? ”

"That's too much!"

"yes!"

The villagers have blown up the pot, and in normal times, even if it is a well-served fertile field, it is only more than 300 catties of output.

Now handing over two hundred catties in one go, which is not a small amount!

The rest of the grain has to be sold for money, buy clothes, buy seeds, and have food and clothing for the family, which is simply not possible!

"If you don't pay it, you take the money, and if you don't have it, you go to the conscription." The people who came from the yamen were very tough.

After Song Hao knew about this, she was also a little uncomfortable.

For each acre of land, 200 catties of grain are required...... That's a lot!

Even if it is the land of Yunya Village, this year's output is high, and each household can have as much as four hundred catties, but almost half of these two hundred taels have been taken away!

This is also the reason why she nourished the land with green mist.

But this service is ...... Everyone would rather be poor at home than serve in forced labor.

Because there are already people in the next village who have been arrested to serve in forced labor, the people of Yunya Village have to admit this unfortunate thing.

Meng Li jumped to his feet secretly angrily, but he was helpless.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials.

The farmer pays the grain tax, and the trader can't run away, and the restaurant is also heavily taxed.

As for some wealthy people, it is even more hemorrhage.

Song Zhen couldn't help but inquire, and heard that the border war was tight and had to be taxed.

Song Zhen watched the carts of grain being pulled away, and felt for the first time that the ancient social system was terrible and ruthless, and it could be regarded as seeing what it meant to be harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The villagers, who had planned to happily rest for an autumn and winter, and then have a good year, were like frosted eggplants, and they couldn't be happy at all.

Those who are ready to cut meat do not dare to buy meat.

What kind of meat do you buy at this time?

This is to buy meat! Can't live the rest of the day?

Even the Song family, who is not short of food and clothing at home, have some worries, especially Mrs. Song, who has already fiddled with the money she earned from selling food in the camp before.

"Yunshan, Zhen'er, you take this money, buy some food when you go back, and save it." Mrs. Song said worriedly.

Song Hao asked, "Storing grain?" There is enough food to eat at home. ”

"It's enough now, but it may not be in the future, this year, the people in the government have collected so many taxes at once, and the price of grain will definitely rise, maybe they won't have to eat in the future." Mrs. Song has lived for so many years, and she has also seen some strong winds and waves.

After all, this is not the first time this has happened.

If it weren't for such a thing, the Song family's life would not be as sad as before.

After all, in the year when the wind and rain are good, and the people in the family are so capable, how can they make a bad life?

Song Zhen suddenly felt that Jiang was still old and spicy.

Song Zhen actually didn't worry much about the food at home, so she went to the cave, and she could make enough rice for everyone to eat for a while in just a few days.

However, what can be solved by ordinary methods, Song Hao doesn't want to use Qingmist.

So the brothers and sisters of the Song family bought grain, and when the wind was high for a month, they transported the grain back from outside.

At this time, every household was transporting grain out, and they were transporting it back, which was too eye-catching, so Song Zhen decided to ship it at night.

The people of Yunya Village, who have paid taxes, have been depressed for a long time.

But soon, the people were picking themselves up.

Everyone was ready to go up the mountain to see if they could find some autumn wild fruits, or get some nuts and something like that.

There is a little bit of a count.

After all, there is no way to survive next year's autumn harvest by relying only on grain.

At this time, food can only be saved.

The Song family didn't lack much food to eat, but Song Zhen still chose to go up the mountain at this time.

It's just because she was also on the mountain before, nourishing some wild fruit trees with green mist.

There are wild walnuts and stuff like that.

She didn't stop everyone from picking them, but there was a credit to her, and she picked some of them back, and she didn't work in vain.

Song Zhen led the mink up the mountain like this.

Of course, the places where Song Hao uses Qingwu are all in the deep mountains, and no one goes there at all in normal times.

Now, the nearby mountains have not been swept by the villagers, and no one will go inside.

Song Zhen led the mink and went to pick walnuts first.

This walnut tree, when Song Hao saw it, was still a thin crooked neck tree, and it was with Song Hao's help that it blossomed and fruited, and then grew such a good walnut.

After picking walnuts and pine towers, plus some red fruits from the mountains.

As for the persimmon tree, it was also full of persimmons, some of which hung on the tree, and some of which fell to the ground.

Song Hao picked some good ones and moved them back to the cave to store them.

Song Zhen has been busy for five or six days, and the people in the village have begun to move closer to the mountains.

Naturally, some people passed by the cave of the Song family.

There were also some people who wanted to see what was going on inside the cave, but they were stopped by Big Ash and Little Ash.

After all, no one wants to be bitten by a wolf.

And this was bitten by a wolf, and then it reached the ears of the Song family, which is not very good.

The Song family is helping the people in the village like this, do they still think about what is in the cave? Besides, you've seen it before, and the things in the cave are no different from ordinary vegetable gardens.

But at this time, everyone was still very envious of the Song family.

I heard that around the warm spring, you can also grow a Zhuang family in winter, and this Song family must not worry about food and clothing.

"Hey! You see, there are so many persimmons on the persimmon tree over there! Someone shouted in surprise.

"Isn't it, there are really a lot of persimmons!"

The women who went up the mountain together found the New World, rushed over with joy, and began to scramble to pick persimmons.

Song Hao was hidden in the dark, looking at the joyful look on people's faces, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

When Song Hao came home in the evening.

I found that there were a lot of persimmons in the house.

Song Hao asked, "Milk, where did this persimmon come from?" ”

She picked it, but she hasn't gotten it home yet.

"It was sent by the people in the village, including your Li family's aunt, Aunt Meng, and ......."

Mrs. Song said a series of names.

"By the way, there are some walnuts, saying that they found them in the mountains, thinking that no one in our family went up the mountain to find these things, so they sent some over to try them." Mrs. Song said with a smile.
