After four months, all 60 new granaries in each of the three counties have been built.

Finally, the problem of grain storage was solved before the new grain came down.

At the same time, the collection of grain taxes in various provinces has also begun to be in full swing.

Nanli County - Suer County.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Early in the morning, suddenly the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the towns and villages of the county.

It was accompanied by the shouts of the officials of the county who suddenly broke their voices.

"The spring tax collection in the spring of the 24th year has begun, and every household should prepare the tax grain as soon as possible, and from tomorrow the yamen will go down to the towns and villages to collect grain, don't miss it!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As they walked, they beat gongs and drums, informing the countryside about tomorrow's grain day.

At the head of Fengshou Village, there are two people living in Lao Li Tou and Xiao Nannan's grandfather and grandson.

Early in the morning, the little girl had not yet gotten up but was woken up by the shouts of these servants, and when she walked out of the room and came to the yard, she saw that her grandfather had already woken up, and was slowly exercising a set of movements.

This is a grandfather learned from an old Taoist priest to cultivate the body, it is said that the scene of exercise can prolong life.

Lao Li Tou, who was boxing, suddenly saw his baby granddaughter get up, a smile appeared on his face, stopped the movements in his hand, came to the little girl's side, rubbed the little girl's little brain, and asked with a smile:

"Why did you get up? It's still early, do you want to sleep a little more? ”

The little girl shook her head: "I can't sleep, it's so noisy outside, has something happened to grandpa?" ”

Lao Li Tou replied not very carelessly: "It's nothing, it's just that the spring tax is about to be collected."

Previously we had a one-year tax holiday, and now that the time has passed, we have to start paying taxes.

Therefore, the yamen sent people down to publicize it, lest some people forget to prepare. ”

"Pay taxes?!"

Xiao Nannan's face suddenly turned pale?

She remembered that when she was in Kannai before, every year when it was time to pay taxes, her father and grandfather would look sad.

There are also scenes where the fierce officials rush into the house and loot everything of value, saying that it is used to deduct taxes.

Looking at the little girl's changed face, Lao Li Tou naturally knew what she was thinking, sighed and gently stroked his granddaughter's little head and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, our family pays the tax, grandpa secretly tells you, grandpa brother is amazing, the yield of one acre of land for those poisonous people is only 200 catties, and the yield of one acre of land planted by grandpa can be enough for 300 catties!"

Because our family has to pay three and a half percent tax to make up the arrears to the yamen, it is ninety percent tax.

In other words, we only need to pay 270 catties of grain for one acre of land.

Our family's 20 acres of land, as long as we pay the tax of 5,400 catties, our family can still have 600 catties of grain left! ”

"Six hundred pounds?"

When the little girl heard this, she counted with her fingers.

"One by one, one by two, one by two, the little girl can eat three breads a day, ninety cakes a month, and ...... a year"

Counting the little girl, I can't go down.

looked up at Lao Li Tou helplessly.

This immediately made Lao Li Tou laugh.

Because they were the first county towns in Nanli County to be developed and incorporated into the control of Yunzhou County, when Yunzhou County passed the education of schools in various counties, Huhe County became the first batch of counties with schools.

Xiao Nan Nan is also nine years old this year, and after the school began to recruit students, Lao Li Tou immediately sent Xiao Nan to the school.

It's just that the little girl's learning days are short, and now the addition and subtraction will only be within ten.

The word is just to recognize your own name and a few simple common words.

So once the quantity goes up, the little girl doesn't understand at all, the remaining 600 catties are enough for her to eat how many dough cakes.

Haha laughed for a while, the little girl who laughed was annoyed and angry, puffed out her little face angrily, and glared at Lao Li Tou angrily with both hands on her waist, and Lao Li Tou gradually stopped smiling and said: "Hahaha, okay, okay, Xiao Nan is not angry, grandpa is not smiling, hahaha......"

Xiao Nannan: "......"

"Humph! Bad grandpa! ”

Lao Li Tou really couldn't help it, his granddaughter was so cute.

It took him a while to calm down.

explained to Xiao Nannan: "You don't have to count it, if you eat six hundred catties of grain, you won't be able to eat it for a year."

One pound of flour can make six flour cakes, and if more than three or six hundred pounds are all replaced with flour, it will be more than 3,600 flour cakes, which can bury our little girl! ”

"Three thousand six hundred loaves!"

When the little girl heard this, her head was suddenly confused, although she still didn't understand the concept of 3,600 breads, but she knew that it meant a lot.

Her mind had already begun to involuntarily imagine a large meal of dough falling from the sky and burying her.

I couldn't help but laugh.

That's great! Endless bread!

You don't have to worry about going hungry anymore.

If...... It's good that my father and mother are also here......

Suddenly remembered her parents, and the originally happy little girl fell silent for a while, and her whole little face was full of sadness.

Lao Li found out at once, remembered the current days, and thought about the previous days.

also thought of his son and daughter-in-law, and hugged the little girl into his arms, and the grandfather and grandson were speechless for a long time.

The past is in the past, and the present looks to the future.

After the officials beat the gongs and drums, the Song people in the entire county remembered that it was time to pay taxes.

Compared with the previous panic in the customs as soon as the tax payment day arrived, now that they suddenly heard that they were going to pay taxes, everyone seemed much calmer.

Because under the command of King Yun, everyone knows that there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and each family has a lot of land and more people.

In addition, this place crops three times a year, even if they pay ninety percent of the tax, the remaining grain can allow them to spend the year peacefully.

So everyone didn't panic at all.

Moreover, for a poisonous person, one acre of land is only about 200 catties of output.

But for the Song people, who have served the land for most of their lives, they know too well how to intensively cultivate and increase the yield of the land.

The output value per mu of most of the Song people is much higher than that of the poisonous people.

The yield per mu is high, and although the representatives pay more taxes, they also have more grain left, so everyone is still very positive.

Knowing that the yamen would go to the countryside tomorrow to collect grain, all families hurriedly began to prepare.

This was their first meal after they came here, and everyone was a little flustered.

Because although King Yun's order is not to pay any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they are often contacted by small officials, and most of the harsh taxes in those places are also added by the county lords in various places.

Therefore, they were a little uneasy in their hearts, wondering if the county magistrate of this sudden county would also be such a person, and some shallow rules when paying taxes also made them have some thoughts in their hearts, and they couldn't help but prepare more when preparing for the grain tax, for fear that it would not be enough at that time.

In the midst of such speculation, the time soon came the next morning.

Early in the morning, the officials who came down from the yamen to collect grain began to beat gongs and drums at the entrance of the village.

Soon, the whole village knew the news, and each family hurriedly came to the entrance of the village one after another with the grain tax they needed to pay.

In the blink of an eye, a long line formed at the entrance of the village.

Everywhere there were people who were carrying, carrying, or pushing carts to deliver the grain.
