163 Pay taxes
When they entered the Sun City, they saw rows of neat houses, red walls and red tiles, and people were coming in and out of it.
Lin Yan didn't urge, let them look and observe, and when they came back to their senses, he took them to his own house, and introduced the kang at home, the furniture, the kitchen, etc.
From beginning to end, the two of them couldn't say a word in shock, everything they saw today was too shocking, completely beyond their imagination.
Seeing the flower bonus rolling noodles and stir-frying meat, the fragrance of rice wafted out during the whole process, and he took a few breaths hard, and muttered excitedly with the old woman.
After eating delicious noodles, drinking broth, and eating scrambled eggs with leeks, he couldn't bear it anymore, he gestured to Lin Yan excitedly, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the house, eager to know if he could have such a good place.
Lin Yan made a lame comparison, and after determining the meaning of Li, he nodded affirmatively, pointed to Li and the old woman, and then pointed to the side of the guide, meaning that their clansmen could all move here.
After the two sides struggled to understand each other's meaning, it was getting late, Lin Yan gave them the strength to arrange a place to live, and they could go to the treehouse tribe to pick up people tomorrow.
There are still a few empty houses in Sun City, and they can be inhabited by tidying up, just so that they can live temporarily.
The cold season is coming soon, wait for someone to come, communicate well in the next few months, and strive to communicate smoothly, and then talk about follow-up issues.
After the people came, they handed it over to Hua Min to teach them to read and count, and after a long time, they would gradually speak the same language as the people in Sun City.
Li barely slept that night, his mind was a mess, thinking about everything, and finally he was conquered by the house he was going to live in and the delicious food.
Early the next morning, he urged Lin Yan to go back quickly.
Lin Yan knew that he was in a hurry, so he immediately rowed and set off with Yun Qing and the others. There were only eight people going this time, and there were limited slots on the ship, so there were to be empty seats for the people of the treehouse tribe.
It takes three hours to get there downstream, but it takes four hours to get back, and you have to run many times to get people back.
Today is the 20th of September, and there is not much time left for them.
When they arrived at the treehouse tribe, they were all looking anxiously north by the river. Li and the old woman did not return overnight, and the clansmen were worried.
Seeing them come back safely, he immediately smiled with joy.
When they saw the sackcloth on the two of them, several people touched them.
The people of the treehouse tribe muttered a lot around the two of them, and they looked at Lin Yan and the others in disbelief, and after nearly an hour of heated discussion, they finally reached an agreement.
Li arranged for the first group of people to leave with the boat, all of them were little dolls, and the rest of the people packed their things first and waited for the next boat to pick them up.
Looking at the nervous children, Lin Yan took out the prepared food and distributed it to them.
After tasting the novelty of food, the children were not so wary of Lin Yan, looked at her curiously, and said something she didn't understand from time to time.
After arranging the first batch of children, Lin Yan didn't follow the boat to pick up people, and the rest of the people had Yun Qing to arrange for someone to row a boat to pick them up.
The boat left early and returned late, running twice a day, and after five days, all the people of the Treehouse Tribe were brought to Sun City and their accommodation was arranged.
People's ability to learn and adapt can never be underestimated, and the people of the Treehouse Tribe didn't dare to move when they first arrived, secretly observing everything in Sun City.
However, in three days, some people have already seen the existence of iron coins and understood their value.
The tribunal arranged for Hua Xiang to be in charge of the follow-up communication with the Treehouse tribe, and it happened to cooperate with Hua Min to teach them the language and script of Sun City.
The people came back, Lin Yan didn't do anything else, helped to harvest the last straw at home, and also prepared supplies for the cold season.
On September 29, the temperature plummeted, and the cold season came, and the kang of every household burned, and the house also lit a brazier to keep warm.
Suddenly cold, wrapped in thick clothes, Lin Yan was still a little uncomfortable. She stayed at home and peeled hemp with the bonus gold boy.
I didn't want to peel it, so I picked up a pen and paper to copy the book, and after being lazy for five days, I started to teach Shi Zhi and them again.
There are only two hours of class every day, and after several years of study, they have mastered the basics, and Lin Yan will go deeper every year and talk about some more difficult knowledge.
For the people of the Treehouse Tribe, this cold season is like being in heaven, with hot kang and braziers, so that they don't have to freeze to death again.
There is also plenty of food, and there is no need to worry about starving. Don't be too happy.
In this kind of life, they feel like they are dreaming, for fear that the dream will be shattered. But it was freezing outside, and as soon as they stepped out of the house, they clearly realized that everything was real.
The people of the treehouse tribe eat meat and so on prepared by themselves, but they have to pay for flour, and they have no money, so they owe it on credit, and they will have to pay it back in the future.
The tribunal also can't use everyone's tax revenue to feed outsiders, some people are not willing to accept them, let alone spend money on them.
Although everyone's life is better, they can't be squandered at will, and in the eyes of many people, it is useless to accept the people of the treehouse tribe.
In the end, the arbitral tribunal came forward to make it clear that the resettlement of the treehouse tribesmen would not harm everyone's interests, so it reluctantly passed.
In fact, it really doesn't have much effect on most people, but Hua Xiang and Hua Min are very big, and it is not easy for them to teach the people of the treehouse tribe to speak and learn words.
On the first day of meeting, we couldn't understand each other at all, and the whole process depended on guessing. After a few days like this, Hua Min had an idea, took out a pen and paper and began to draw simple drawings.
She first drew a sun, marked with words next to it, and taught them over and over again, correcting the pronunciation.
To say that this cold season has no big impact on other people, they can stay at home without going out, only Hua Min and Hua Xiangniang are busy every day, and their heads are very big.
In December, the tribunal began to collect agricultural taxes, which was the first time that the tax was collected, and every household calculated the amount of their tax and went to the public office to pay the tax.
This year's wheat harvest is abundant, and the family has enough food to eat, and most families choose to use wheat to pay taxes and carry sacks to the official office.
At this moment, the family of three sat around the brazier, and Hua Bonus asked: "It's time to pay agricultural taxes, do we use wheat to offset taxes, or pay money directly." I inquired, and everyone said that it was cost-effective to use wheat as a tax deduction. Anyway, there is a lot of food at home, so you don't have to pay for it. ”
Lin Yan didn't think so, "Pay the money." Our family runs a restaurant, and there is a great demand for food. Next year, the restaurant will move to the commercial street, and if the business is better, it will have to buy food. There is simply not enough food at home. ”
"Do you really have to pay for it? Our family has five acres of land to pay taxes, and one acre of land is three cents, and there will be more land to pay taxes next year. ”
Lin Yan was speechless, "You still have to pay taxes." Now it's easier to pay money, and you don't have to buy food with your hands, isn't it the same? ”
Hua Bonus thought carefully, "The truth is so, but I always feel that I have lost money." ”
After struggling for a while, the bonus still chose to listen to Lin Yan's payment.
