In this way, Old Man Liu's family received a total of ninety taels of silver, and his family's taxes were reduced for three years.

Old man Liu was grateful, "Thank you Lord County, my family's wheat not only has a high yield, but also tastes very good!" Some time ago, Mr. Li, you had a few meals at our house, and the steamed steamed buns were white and big with flour from the wheat at home, and the baked cakes were very delicious, and the dumplings were also very strong......"

These are the only things that are more grand in the farmhouse meal, and it was these things that Master Li ate at Old Man Liu's house at that time.

Although it is not as delicious and exquisite as those delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is very delicious.

This kind of wheat not only has a high yield, but also makes it very good to eat, which is even more valuable.

When I go back, grind a bag of flour and give it to the county master, so that the county master can taste it, so that I can have a deeper experience.

"What Uncle Liu said is that those flours are indeed very good, especially the steamed steamed buns, which are white and soft!" Master Li said with a smile that this was the first major thing he did when he came to Meiling County.

made a great contribution and was praised by the county magistrate.

With this incident alone, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in Meiling County.

Originally, Liu Chengpeng wanted to ask Liu Chengxiang, but the second brother had been standing by Master Li's side, so he had to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

"Second brother, what's the matter?" In the end, Liu Chengpeng couldn't help but ask.

Without waiting for Liu Chengxiang to answer, Master Li instead smiled and said: "Uncle Liu's wheat yield is very high, so the county magistrate bought all the wheat of Uncle Liu's family at a high price as wheat seeds!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengpeng looked embarrassed, "The wheat yield of the second brother's family is indeed high, and I didn't have time to buy wheat seeds last year, so now the wheat harvest is not good, alas, it's really unlucky." ”

Old man Liu also heard that most of Liu Chengpeng's wheat was moldy, and in front of Master Li, he couldn't laugh at Liu Chengpeng.

"My family's wheat seeds were all bought by the county magistrate, and only 400 catties of wheat were used as seeds! If you want to buy wheat seeds, go to another house in the village! Old man Liu suggested.

Although the wheat yield of other people in the village is only 4780 catties per mu, it is also very good wheat.

Master Li just smiled and didn't speak.

Liu Chengpeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, the yield per mu of four hundred and seventy or eighty catties is already very high, so I bought it from the village!" ”

"My family's wheat is sold to the county magistrate at a high price, and I will also buy wheat from other families in the village, and the same seeds are planted with the same seeds!" Old man Liu comforted and said, after all, it was his own brother.

After hearing this, Master Li nodded, "Uncle Liu is right, when I am free, I will also send someone to the village to buy some wheat!" ”

Patriarch Liu said: "My family has a lot of wheat, so I must keep it for Master Li!" ”

"Thank you very much!" Master Li said with a smile.

After all the wheat was put on the mule cart, Master Li gave ninety taels of silver to Old Man Liu in front of everyone.

four silver ingots of twenty taels, and one silver ingot of ten taels.

In front of everyone, Master Li will not miss the promotion of the county lord's virtue of loving the people like a son, "Uncle Liu, this is the county lord's silver to buy wheat seeds, you have to put it away!" In addition, in order to reward Uncle Liu for cultivating high-quality wheat seeds, your family is exempted from paying taxes for three years. ”

Old man Liu took the silver, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Thank you, County Master." ”

The village came, and the onlookers kept praising the virtue of the county lord after seeing it, but more people were jealous of the ninety taels of silver in Old Man Liu's hand, and there were three years without paying taxes.

Old man Liu's family has a total of 20 acres of land, and one acre of land needs to pay 100 catties of wheat and 100 catties of rice every year, which is 800 wen, and 20 acres of land has to pay 16 taels of silver a year.

Three years is forty-eight taels, and the county lord directly exempted Old Man Liu from paying taxes of forty-eight taels, which is equivalent to rewarding Old Man Liu's family with forty-eight taels of silver.

Master Li was very satisfied, and then took everyone and drove the mule cart back to the county seat.

"Alas, Chengxiang, your family can make a fortune!"

"Yes, Second Uncle Liu, your family has so much silver, you can build a big house!"

"Oh, what about nine cents a catty, and the most expensive wheat seed is at this price, isn't it, Liu Chengpeng? You bought it last year! ”

Liu Chengpeng rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he was angry.

But now that the second brother's family has no wheat, they can only buy it from other families in the village.

So Liu Chengpeng was willing to swallow this breath and couldn't offend the people in the village.

Patriarch Liu also knew that the people in the village were envious and jealous, so he said loudly: "You also heard just now, Master Li said that the quality of wheat in our village is very good, and the price will be very high.

You are all thanks to the blessing of Chengxiang's family, so you have the current wheat seeds, and you can grow such good wheat! Our family's wheat is also valuable, don't just stare at the Chengxiang family's silver, this is what they deserve! ”

When they heard this, they laughed and dispersed.

Liu Chengpeng also went back greedily, wishing that the ninety taels of silver were his.

The second brother's family has sold so much wheat and earned so much silver, does the old mother's pension money need a little more this year?

Anyway, I can't buy the best wheat seeds from my second brother's house this year, so I can let my mother come over and make a fuss and ask for more pension money!

Old man Liu hurriedly took the silver home and handed it to the old woman to hide.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Patriarch Liu followed Old Man Liu in.

"Patriarch, come and sit in the house?" Old man Liu asked tentatively, but he was a little anxious, he still wanted to go in quickly and hide the silver for his wife.

Patriarch Liu smiled and shook his head, "I won't go in and sit, just talk in the courtyard." If you get silver, and you don't pay taxes for three years, you're a lot of money. I've got a few words to tell you, but you have to be careful. ”

After hearing this, Old Man Liu nodded, "Patriarch, you are an elder, my father went early, and he has always been taken care of by you, so I remember it in my heart." Now if you have anything to say, just say it, I will listen to it. ”

Patriarch Liu saw that Liu Chengxiang was so respectful and felt comfortable, so he pointed him out.

"Chengxiang, everyone in the village knows that your family has ninety taels of silver, so you should spend this silver as soon as possible, whether it is to build a house or buy land, don't stay at home.

The people in the village are red-eyed at best, but those who are petty thieves will not be so easy to talk to, and may come to steal your family's money.

In addition, your family is also well-off, so don't be reluctant to send your children to private schools, even if you don't send all of them, you have to send one or two.

In the end, your wheat has nothing to eat except seeds, so while you have money in your hand, hurry up and buy enough food at home, but don't eat a little and buy a little.

In case of a famine, something will happen, and you must buy a year's worth of rations, but you have to remember. Patriarch Liu reminded, hoping that this old man Liu would listen.
