Chapter Ninety-Six: Cutting Off People's Money
The shops in the city opened, and the restaurants were all handed over to Xinghua.
Boss Tang sometimes goes over to take a look when he is not busy, and Qin Guangwei and Qin Guangjia are busy with the purchase and delivery.
Tang Juan discussed with Qin Si that he would give the restaurant to Xinghua in the future.
"When I was in the old house before, Sister Xinghua's family did help us, and I have a good relationship with Sister Xinghua, I think if I can in the future, I will give the restaurant to Sister Xinghua."
"Of course, you can't give it in vain, and you can think about the specific method."
Of course Qin Si didn't object, after all, Xinghua also helped the family a lot during this time, he thought about it, "Then ask Sister Hua what she means first, I'm afraid she won't want it, and then let's talk about it." ”
At present, it is the peak of the summer heat, and Qin Si's method of making ice from saltpeter has also been noticed by the county order.
Qin Si was called to the yamen again.
"This is a good method, maybe make big ice?" The county order asked with shiny eyes after watching the ice-making process on the spot.
The young man shook his head, "No, the student has tried, and the maximum can only be the size of a palm, and it costs saltpeter, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
There is no ice cellar in the city, but there is one in Suyun Mansion, and the county commander is quite helpless, after all, it is easy to dig an ice cellar, but it is not easy to store ice.
Although they have water, it is not enough to freeze in winter, and they can't store much ice, which is really difficult.
The county order wanted to promote this method again, and Qin Si secretly stalked it.
It's not about cutting off his money.
But on the surface, Qin Si still has to cooperate, "Naturally, it's good, but saltpeter is not cheap, and adults must remember that if the ice made of saltpeter is used in food, it must not be eaten too much." ”
"The ice drinks at the students' homes are also rationed to each person every day, otherwise eating too much will not be good for the body."
The county commander bowed, "I'm also worried about this, after all, saltpeter is used by Taoist alchemists, I heard that erysipelas damage the body, and you still think about it when you can make money, it's really rare." ”
Qin Si modestly made up for two sentences, and then was let go by the county order.
Anyway, he made a profit by selling a wave of ice drinks before others could use saltpeter.
Moreover, his ice-making is mainly for the benefit of his family, and it is not bad if he makes money or not.
Seeing him running around again, Master Dong assigned him a lot of homework, and ordered him to study hard at home and not to come out again.
"If I see you again in the city, I'll arrange an article once I see you!"
Qin Si could only carry a full schoolbag and go home with a depressed face.
Tang Juan was in the store, and he was home alone.
When the summer turns to autumn, the beans in the field grow happily, and before the harvest is good, the mood of the people in the village swells.
When the beans are harvested at the end of September and the beginning of October, it will be another lively harvest.
In this month, Qin Si has not been idle again.
As early as July and August, he taught wheat fertilization from house to house, making sure that everyone who wanted to fertilize learned it.
Now that the beans have been harvested, the field has been relieved, and the seeds have to be sown again, Qin Si is not very relieved, and follows up the situation in the field every day.
But fortunately, this time he didn't have to do it himself, it was much easier, and Qin Si would not do it all, but would study and analyze with the croppers, and strive to make the most suitable fertilizer for the local soil conditions.
If something goes wrong, there are people who can share a little risk.
September and October were two months after another, and when Qin Si came back to his senses, his home was full of granaries again.
It was also time to pay the grain tax.
The taxes and fees here are cumbersome and the categories are very detailed, and Qin Si was dizzy when he first found out.
Things like poll tax, grain tax, commercial tax, forced labor, miscellaneous taxes, customs duties, salt tax, and iron tax are all easy to understand, but some, such as late marriage tax and less birth tax, make Qin Si not quite understand.
Of course, this is Qin Si's own name, he really didn't expect that he would have to pay taxes for late marriage and late childbearing here.
"Naturally, if a woman is seventeen and a man is twenty, he will have to pay taxes every year, and I have already paid taxes for three years before my husband marries." Tang Juan said sincerely.
"If the body is fine, you have to pay taxes if you don't have children for two years of marriage, and you have to pay taxes if you have less than two children after five years of marriage, but few people pay money for this article, after all, countrymen, children always give birth to more and more."
Seeing that Qin Si was shocked, Tang Juan said a few more, "In addition, there is also the tax of reconciliation, and the two of them have to pay money when they go to and leave with the marriage certificate, but it is not common in our small place." ”
Qin Si immediately held her hand, "We will never use this one!" ”
Tang Juan smiled, "Well, yes." ”
The young man muttered to himself, "How can ordinary people afford such heavy taxes." ”
If the treasury is empty, taxes will be increased, and it would be nice if the law could be spread to the whole country within three years.
But this is not a simple matter, it needs to be popularized in this county now, and if this stubble cannot catch up, it will have to wait until next spring to sow seeds, and wait until autumn to see results.
If it works, it will be reported to the capital, sent to the cabinet, and reported to the court, and it is estimated that it will be the year after the New Year.
Qin Si didn't know much about this aspect, and he didn't know how long it would take for this kind of excerpt related to people's livelihood to be presented to the emperor.
If it can be determined by the end of next year, it should not be promoted immediately, after all, it is about agriculture, agriculture is the foundation of the country, it is estimated that it will be tried first in Huangtian Huangzhuang.
Then it's going to have to be another year.
In addition, it has to be spread to all parts of the country, counting the travel, integrating personnel, and teaching local farmers, Qin Si feels that three years is too little.
"Xianggong?" Tang Juan tilted his head to look at him, "Why didn't you speak all of a sudden?" ”
The young man came back to his senses and let out a long sigh, "I'm thinking about the article that the master gave me." ”
Tang Juan nodded, "Then Xianggong reads a book, I'll go cook dinner." ”
Because of the previous precedent of four hundred and eighty catties, this time the big guy was much more excited after seeing the Tang family's beans generate income, and after the village chief finished counting, he shouted to call his own.
Xiaobeiwang is full of joy, and it is even more lively than the New Year.
Greeting people naturally talks about this.
"How much did your family harvest this stubble, my family has collected three hundred and eighty pounds! What a pity! At that time, I muttered in my heart that I was afraid that I would not use it, and I would use less fertilizer, and I regretted that my intestines were green! ”
"Let you hesitate, I heard that the Zhao family is a little more than the Tang family, look at the people!"
There are a few villages that do not have fertilizer.
One is that I don't want to spend money on materials, and the other is that I don't believe it, and I really regret it when I look at other people at the moment.
In a mud-walled house at the corner of the village, the light was dim, and the woman sitting on the kang sewing clothes was in tears, complaining as she sewed her clothes.
"Don't be reluctant to give up money, you have to search that point, now you look at the harvest in other people's fields! This year, Dani didn't get married, and she had to pay a year's money, how can she live. ”
Since the autumn harvest, the woman has been repeating these words over and over again, which makes the man upset, and he slammed the cigarette pouch and scolded angrily, "The bereaved girls talk all day long!" ”
