Chapter 1559
Li Er walked steadily towards the village with two large bundles of straw. The large bundles of wheat straw almost hid his entire being inside, and from a distance it seemed like two bundles of wheat straw were walking on their own.
Li Er is very tired, the straw that has not been laid is not light, and the wheat ears of the good varieties are very solid, and the straws are also very thick and tall. Such a pick would weigh two hundred pounds.
But no amount of tiredness can hide the joy in Li Er's heart. For many years, it is either drought or waterlogging, or it is a military disaster and man-made disaster. It has been twenty or thirty years since he was sensible. Happy.
Li Er was reluctant to be assigned to the resettlement village in Funing by the government. After all, Funing is too close to the Mountain and Sea Trial. In the early years, it suffered repeated military disasters, and the number of casualties was countless, and the number of those who were kidnapped was uncountable.
After the settlement in Funing, the government forced the implementation of high-yield and improved varieties. At that time, there were countless people who resisted like Li Er.
But now, all doubts are disappeared, and all I can do is be grateful.
Xiawang is the blue sky of the old commoners!
He held up a pole with a pestle, stood on the side of the road to rest his breath, and secretly calculated the harvest.
In these years of natural and man-made disasters, there are only three people left in Li Er's family, an old mother, also a son, and three people of 60 acres of land. He was unable to plant them earlier because of rush. Come here, only 30 acres have been planted.
The government said that the production capacity per mu is more than ten stone, and at least three hundred stone per 30 mu, that is...at least tens of thousands of catties.
He pondered for a moment, but did not calculate how much he could gain. But there must be a lot.
tens of thousands of catties, half of the tax, also tens of thousands of catties. I heard that every 100 yuan of grain on the market is worth 10,000 yuan, right?
New money is valuable. I heard from those scholars that a hundred dollars can be used for more than one or two silver taels. So, this bumper harvest is worth more than one hundred silver tael!
Now that prices are stabilizing, those profiteers who have been pressured by the government to be obedient and obedient, based on this calculation, just this season's harvest, how can it be used loosely for a year.
I still remember when things were good in the early years, and their family didn't use ten-twenty silver tael for a year.
Now a season of grain is worth more than one hundred and two harvests, which was unimaginable in the past!
Although the agricultural tax of King Xia is heavy, there is no extortionate contribution, no miscellaneous taxes, only one tax a year, and the rest is all his own.
It's just a pity that my own family is not strong enough to grow sixty acres.
And besides farming, there is also a lot of income. The government has long been recruiting workers to build canals and water conservancy, roads, post stations, and Mongolian schools. What they want is manpower. As long as you go and make money every day, it will be a good income!
The new money is really cute and tight. Li Er thought about the more than 100 money that he had exchanged in Ning City two days ago, and was elated in his heart.
After a short break, Li Er was about to continue to carry the burden, not far from the resettlement village where his family was located. It is located by a small river next to the newly built official road.
Speaking of this official road, he also contributed.
An ox cart came up from behind, Li Er glanced back and couldn't help shouting, "The village chief."
It turned out to be the village chief of their resettlement village.
The village chief looked young, but he was 30 years old, with a resolute expression, but one eye was missing. A clear scar crossed the left eye from the bridge of the nose and spread to the corner of the eye. The scars are not long, but extremely serious.
This is a soldier who retired from the army.
There are only about 200-300 people like him who have been discharged from the army. All of them are assigned to each resettlement village as village head.
Ying Yi's army experienced various battles, but not many casualties. Armor equipped to the teeth protects them. But there are also bad luck, or the stray arrow just hit the eye position, or the knife and gun hurt the eye position.
It's mostly this place. Because except for the eyes, other places are strictly protected.
After destroying Abate, the number of wounded in Ying Yi's army was less than 1,000. Most of them were left by the Ministry of War and the Imperial Court, and a small part was distributed to resettlement villages by the Pastoral Administration.
Because of the retirement, there is corresponding compensation. They are all rich. For example, the village chief in front of him will supply 10,000 new dollars at a time when he is discharged from the army.
That's how he got his bullock cart. Otherwise, just like Li Er, pick slowly with the shoulders.
The village chief listened to the voice: "It's Li second brother."
Li second said: "It's a villain."
He was very impressed with the village chief's bullock cart. For envy, but I also know that it was exchanged for people's lives on the battlefield.
"How's your wheat harvesting?" The village chief stopped the cattle driveway: "If you're too busy to talk about it."
Li Er grinned: "If you want it, you want it. Yes."
The village chief said again: "The food is ready soon after harvesting. Taxes will be collected from August 15th."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be harvested. Wow?" Li Er said: "Isn't that going to go to Funing?"
The village chief said: "No, no. When the time comes, the tax department will come to the village to collect it."
"That's fine." Li Er laughed: "If you pick it yourself, you won't be able to pick tens of thousands of pounds for ten or twenty days."
"That's true." The village chief He smiled: "Now every household, which one doesn't charge tens of thousands of catties? There are 100,000 catties. It's unbearable to carry it on your shoulders. I just heard about this from my comrades in the next village, at most tomorrow, the tax department The people in the village will come to the village to inform the big guys. The tax department has carriages and horses, and they are collected along the official road, so there is no need for the villagers to pick them up to the county."
The two chatted for a while, The village chief said: "We can't run out of food now. I heard that the Shangfeng government has already planned to promote the breeding of six animals. Now there is no shortage of food, but meat. If we can raise more chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep earlier, it will definitely be It's a good deal."
Li Er heard this, and suddenly became energetic: "Really?"
"Mostly it's true." The village chief said, "Wait if you don't believe me. It will take two weeks at most, and there must be official documents from the county."
"Is it really good to sell?" Li Er was already moved, but he asked again worriedly.
"It must be easy to sell." The village chief said: "Let me tell you, the needs of the army alone cannot be met by one place and two places. Besides, now everyone has food and money. Now, who doesn't want to eat meat?"
"Then I'll go back and think about getting some chickens to keep." Li Er cautiously said.
At this time, there was a burst of smoke and dust in the distance from the official road, and the ground began to vibrate slightly. The village chief saw it first and couldn't help but start, and then showed excitement, saying: "Quick, quick, make way. Side, let the roadside!"
Li Er was stunned for a while, and then heard the village chief say: "The army is coming!"
Li Er saw the smoke rising in the distance, I felt the vibration of the soles of my feet. In a hurry, he took the pick and gave way to the roadside, and watched with the village chief who drove the ox cart to the roadside and jumped off.
About a cup of tea, a majestic Chiyou big banner was drawn out from the smoke and dust, and a golden-bright and dazzling brilliance came into view, which was the reflection of the armor in the sun!
