Chapter 0072: Chaos on the Front

After breakfast, the family was busy again.

Tao Xiaoqian followed her mother Xu Guizhi and her third brother Tao Ruiqian to buy noodles in the town.

I got a lot of silver back from Wang Dagui yesterday, and I have to buy some coarse noodles and coarse grains today.

There are so many people in the family, the amount of food eaten is not small, and the consumption of rice and noodles is also very large.

With the money, I have to go to the county seat to buy more coarse noodles and coarse grains.

The second crop of rice in the field is far from being ready to be harvested, and all of them have to eat and prepare more.

Ay......

This year's year was not very good, and the first crop of rice was not very high.

After paying the taxes, every household does not have much surplus food.

If you save money, you may be able to wait until the second rice harvest.

During this period of time, most of the people in the village had to go to the foot of Yuyun Mountain to find some food to come back and replenish it.

Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to carry it.

Now that they have money, Tao Xiaoqian and they have some more coarse grains and coarse noodles, which is better than breaking up.

In fact, Tao Xiaoqian has some understanding of the increase in taxes this year.

Those people charged more than 20% of the taxes on the grounds that the preparation work of Dongli was very expensive, which was already very fatal for ordinary farmers.

Originally, the harvest was not very good, and the grain that was overtaxed was collected, and it was really difficult for them to keep eating.

But this is related to the defense work with Dongli and the important matter of protecting thousands of people in Bozhou from the scourge of war, and the villagers can understand and cooperate very much.

It is much better to endure some hardships and survive than to suffer war.

It's just that the over-taxed grain was resold at a high price by those people, and even sold to Dongli's side!

Thinking of this, Tao Xiaoqian couldn't help but be annoyed.

If she meets Qi Hantao again, perhaps, she will have to ask for a thorough investigation into all these things!

Those people all want to fight for meritorious service, and they all want to take advantage of the relatively stable border with Dongli to take some credit for the border here, but they are unwilling to endure more hardships, and can only think of means after collusion, so as to extract more benefits and provide those people with food, drink and entertainment.

The war with Dongli was previously in charge of the Xiao King Liu Jinsheng.

But when Liu Yingxuan, the son of King Xiao, and Liu Jinsheng, the king of Xiao, were poisoned one after another, and their physical condition became worse, they temporarily put down their military power.

Even if the king Liu Jinsheng is not on the front line, he can still give the Dongli army enough deterrence, so that the Dongli army does not dare to easily invade the territory.

And this is also the most important reason for those who are eager to get rid of the Xiao Wangfu and get rid of the Xiao King Liu Jinsheng.

Without the king Liu Jinsheng, then Dongli will no longer need to be so jealous.

The treacherous thoughts of those people are indeed very vicious, and they have been planning for many years.

Since the death of Princess Xiao and the poisoning of Liu Yingxuan, she has wanted to destroy the Xiao Palace.

And after all these years of operation, in fact, here in Bozhou, many places have been controlled by those ones.

In this way, those people dared to so blatantly overcharge taxes and grain, completely ignoring the lives of the peasant households.

Thinking of this, Tao Xiaoqian's brows twisted slightly.

It seems that it is not easy to farm in a mountain village.

Hopefully, with the recovery of the body of King Liu Jinsheng, he will be able to reorganize the army on the front line and restore the combat effectiveness of the army.

This is already a major matter involving Dayan's safety and survival.

It's just that Tao Xiaoqian didn't show these things.

Everything, when she sees the results of the punishment of the Wang family and the Wen family, when she goes to Qi Hantao again, let's talk about it by the way.

Qi Hantao, General Qi Yong, is mainly responsible for the war with the Northern Huns, but with the kinship between Qi Hantao and Liu Jinsheng, the king of Xiao, there will still be a way to deal with the matter.

Suppress the matter first, and Tao Xiaoqian will deal with today's matter first.

This time when she came to the county seat, Tao Xiaoqian also hoped to take a new look at the situation in Yulin County and find out if there was any opportunity to make some money.

It is still a bit difficult to make a fortune by farming alone.

The mountain village is close to Yuyun Mountain, close to the mountains and rivers, and there are a lot of resources in the mountains and rivers.

If you can find a good market, there is still a chance to make money.

Of course, Tao Xiaoqian has a lot of money, but most of them are large amounts of silver tickets, and Tao Xiaoqian came over this time, also looking for an opportunity to redeem some silver taels, which is convenient for ordinary use.

There were a lot of things, Tao Xiaoqian and the three of them set off after eating and rushed to Yulin County.

The mountain village is not far from Yulin County, and soon, Tao Xiaoqian and they arrived.

Entering the county seat, Tao Xiaoqian looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Yulin County, and couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.

Yulin County, which is good, is because of the greed of those people who are not satisfied, eat inside and out, and finally be destroyed!

That kind of disaster really shouldn't have happened.

also looking at the still prosperous Yulin County, Tao Xiaoqian was thinking again, how to deal with those scourges!

She didn't want to see that kind of war happen again, and she didn't want the war to spread to the entire territory of Dayan.

Troubled times, for most people, are not so beautiful!

At this time, looking at the shops on both sides of the street, all kinds of businesses were being done, and Tao Xiaoqian continued to pay careful attention.

With such a general understanding, Tao Xiaoqian already had some ideas in her heart.

It's just that Tao Xiaoqian is not in a hurry, and he thinks clearly before doing it.

Noticing Tao Xiaoqian's preoccupied appearance, Tao Ruiqian approached, looked at Tao Xiaoqian, and asked, "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" What are you thinking? If there is a problem that is difficult to solve, you tell me, and the third brother can help you do it. ”

raised his head and met the worried eyes of the third brother Tao Ruiqian, Tao Xiaoqian was slightly stunned.

Shaking his head, Tao Xiaoqian also lowered his voice, and said to the third brother Tao Ruiqian: "Third brother, aren't I thinking, what should I do to be able to earn more silver taels?" ”

"The family's expenses are not small, in addition to selling some herbs and game, I want to find some other ways to make more money for the family, buy more rice, buy more meat."

"Digging herbs and hunting game, these are all more dangerous things, if there can be a more secure and safe one, it will be better."

Hearing the words of the third sister Tao Xiaoqian, Tao Ruiqian was a little surprised.

However, this is also a question that Tao Ruiqian needs to consider.

The family has a large population and a lot of expenses, so you have to find some ways to make money.

But what can be done?

At this point, Tao Ruiqian also frowned in distress, but he still couldn't think of it.

Noticing the third brother Tao Ruiqian's frowning and contemplative serious look, Tao Xiaoqian shook his head gently.

These things can be embarrassing for the third brother.
