Two thousand acres? Su Yizhao began to pinch his fingers in his heart to calculate the yield per mu.

The north does not produce as much as the south, but the north produces more wheat, and the yield per mu is two or three hundred catties. The second old lady snorted and stood up suddenly.

He sneered, "Old man, I see that you came back this time to check the accounts, right?" If you want to check the accounts at any time, the old man will clear himself and will not be afraid of auditing. ”

Su Wenqing also stood up, "Where does my nephew mean this? Even if you want to ask your nephew for money, your nephew doesn't have it! ”

He spread his hands innocently, there was no way, his father didn't give any other silver before he came.

The second old lady suddenly turned pale and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Do you know how many people there are in our clan? Last year's harvest was only half of that of previous years, so how can the clan maintain so much expenditure? What does your father mean by accusing the old man of lying? ”

"This? If that's not enough, it's an exaggeration! Su Wenqing said.

The second old lady was so angry that she snapped her cane, "If you don't believe it, then listen to the old man to calculate it for you."

Su Yizhao wanted to laugh a little, this father, although he is telling the truth, he shouldn't be so straightforward! Wouldn't you also cry poor and talk about your family's difficulties in the capital?

However, the drought did have a great impact on the harvest, only half of the harvest in previous years, that is, more than 100 catties per mu.

At the minimum, 2,000 mu produces at least 200,000 catties of grain.

One stone of grain in the Great Cloud Dynasty is about one hundred and twenty-five catties, that is, one thousand six hundred stones of grain.

But it's all wheat, and it's not yet husked.

Last time in Fang City, I overheard that this year's grain is expensive, in previous years, one stone of flour only cost two taels of silver, but this year one stone of flour costs four taels, which has doubled.

Su Yizhao felt that according to the price increase of grain this year, a stone of wheat could be sold for about one or two or eight yuan.

Of course, it also depends on what price someone collects, which may be lower than Su Yizhao expected.

Usually the people who come to collect it are rice shops, and those people will depress the price to death. According to their accounts, labor and processing costs are very expensive.

In addition, the ancient industry was underdeveloped, and it was not easy to grind fine grain, and the grain yield was estimated to be less than sixty percent.

"This year, we received 1,956 stone of grain, and eight of the people in the clan have meritorious fame, and nearly 1,000 mu of taxes have been exempted, but there are still about 1,000 mu to pay 30% of the tax."

"The harvest is not good, and in order to prevent it, the food of the tribe must also be reserved. In addition to the five suits in the clan, plus the subordinates, there are more than 500 people in total! ”

The second old lady said and sighed deeply.

"In order not to make the clansmen hungry, the old man left three hundred stones of grain in charge, also just in case, and the rest was collected by the Liu family in the city. Our family is an old customer, and they naturally give a little face, counting us one stone and one or two and a half dollars, which is already the highest price. ”

In this way, the output of the field is only more than 1,300 stone that can be sold for silver.

Su Yizhao calculated, and finally got a little more than two thousand taels of silver.

More than 2,000 taels is a lot! Su Yizhao thought that he would buy more land in the future, even if the land was not profitable, but the profit was also a lot!

On second thought, this is to remove a part of the tax-exempt fields, and if there are taxes, the income will have to be subtracted by a part of the money.

If you calculate it this way, Su Yizhao feels that there is not much to gain.

"Last year, in such a disaster, the imperial court reduced taxes for those hard-hit areas, but our Beiyuan Mansion was calculated according to previous years."

The third old lady also sighed, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Huh~ In fact, the imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court, the treasury is not abundant, and natural disasters are also worse. Fortunately, this year's grain has risen, otherwise where is enough? ”

The fourth old lady glanced around, and saw that everyone was listening, so he hurriedly remedied.

The third old lady knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly shut up.

"Do you know how much our people spend in a year? Except for Ding Fu, last year, because of the disaster, the imperial court served a year of forced labor in advance, in order to protect the clansmen and prevent them from traveling long distances to the south of the Yangtze River to suffer, do you know how much silver was spent to exempt them from forced labor? ”

The second old lady was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, "A man in the prime of life, eight taels of silver per person, and those who have reached the age of sixteen, four taels per person." ”

Su Yizhao was taken aback, looking at the flower hall, the Su family is thriving, and there are indeed a lot of strong men!

Roughly calculated, if you don't say anything, it will cost six or seven hundred taels, right?

I didn't expect the Great Cloud Dynasty's taxes to be so heavy? Su Yizhao's heart became heavy.

The big families were exempt from forced labor with silver, but what about the poor families?

Originally, Beiyuan Mansion was affected by the disaster, and the harvest was not as good as in previous years, and there were many poor families who only had one or two acres of land, and some even rented the fields of rich families and paid sky-high rental grains.

The second old lady said and stood up.

He glanced at the people in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, and the hall was silent for a while.

"If it weren't for the family's support, you would have asked yourself, would you have a good life today?"

This sentence made Su Yizhao have a different view of this second uncle.

The tone of this righteous rhetoric, coupled with the upright and upright face, made Su Yizhao see the courage of the ancient masters.

Just like Su Jinxun, he worked hard for his family and his people!

"There are many people today, so the old man will take this opportunity to say a few words. The old man knew that someone was chewing on the root of his tongue behind his back, thinking that the old man was full of his own pockets, but these incomes and expenditures were visible. The patriarch will also send someone to check the accounts every year, and as long as the old man is still there, it proves the old man's innocence. ”

Su Yizhao suddenly realized, she also wondered why the second old lady would say the income and expenditure of the clan in public, it turned out to be to clarify herself.

The second old lady looked dignified, and then said: "A bowl of water is difficult to level, and the old man also knows that some people say that the old man is unfair and refuses to promote the clansmen. But do you know that the clansmen who are officials outside live a life of fear? ”

"As an official in the court, if you are a little careless, you make a mistake, losing your official position and abandoning your armor is small, losing your life is big, and even implicating the whole family, so you are walking on thin ice every day."

The third old lady was also emotionally moved when she heard this, "Yes! Don't complain that the second brother doesn't plan for the juniors in the clan. But if there is an opportunity, who will not bring up his people? ”

Well? Why all of a sudden?

At first glance, this sounds like a way to understand the difficulties of the officials in the clan, but why does she think that she mentioned it on purpose?

Could it be that the officials in the weird clan do not carry it? Su Yizhao first thought of Su Jinxun, because Su Jinxun was the highest official in the clan.

Glancing at the second old lady who was still solemn, Su Yizhao thought that he would think too much?

After the second old lady finished speaking, she sat down with the support of her subordinates, "Let's continue to talk about the expenses in the clan, in addition to the ones I just mentioned, there are also clan studies, house maintenance, repair, ......."

Su Yizhao was waiting for the following, but he didn't want Su Wenqing to interrupt the second old lady's words.
