Chapter 1635 Summer Harvest in Luxi Village ([-])

"Sigh, this world is really hard for people to live in." The villager who was the first in line to sign the land lease contract with his handprint, sighed while carefully keeping the contract.

"Who says it's not?" said the second person immediately behind him.

"We have taken all our hard work all year round to the yamen. When we starve to death, let's see where the yamen collects taxes."

"Before you starved to death, the anti-tax riots happened long ago." The deputy housekeeper interjected.

"Ah? You can't do it, you have to beheaded if you resist the tax!" A group of men were immediately frightened into little quails, and their vicious fights just flew away.

"You are self-cultivated farmers with land, so you should pay taxes, but why do those tenant farmers who don't have land in their names have to pay field tax?"

"Uh..." The men choked in unison, none of them had ever thought about this question.

"We don't know. They rent the landlord's land and have to pay taxes. It has been like this for generations."

"Is it right from generation to generation? The tenant farmers are landless farmers and have no land under their names. On what grounds does the Yamen collect their land tax?"

"... Based on the land they rented?"

"But those lands belong to the landlord. The tenant has already paid the rent to the landlord. Doesn't the 100% of the rent not include tax? Then with the rent plus tax, how much can the tenant have left? Is there [-]%? If you can produce more than [-] catties, you will be happy, but you will actually get [-] catties? How much can a family work hard to grow? Do you have ten acres? Counting two rice crops a year, ten acres and three hundred catties can be eaten for half a year, a month Fifty catties, one catty of grain a day? Is it skinned or not? Is it enough for a strong family to eat?"

"Hey, what is that enough? During the busy farming season, there is no oil and salt, and a strong laborer can eat a catty of grain for a meal."

"According to our calculation just now, the ten catties of grain shared by each of your fifteen households is enough for the whole family to eat every day, right?"

"Enough is enough, enough is enough." The men laughed again. They felt that they were at a disadvantage before, but now they compared it again and felt that life was pretty good.

"We cooperate in farming, and if you pay taxes, you can live a good life. On the contrary, you have to be careful of those tenant farmers who make up the majority of the population. Once they are deceived by the landlords, they think that you self-cultivating farmers are too intrusive, so be careful that something will happen."

"No, won't it...?" The men looked at each other.

"Why not? In other villages, the land of the owner farmers has been eroded for a long time. The whole village and the whole village have become the private fields of a few landlords, and the whole village has become tenant farmers. Only one On the surface, the citizenship status sounds good, but in fact, it has long been a long-term employment of the landlord. There are only fifteen households of self-cultivating farmers left in Luxi Village, so be careful."

Imagining that my family has been reduced to the point of tenant farmers, the men feel cold and lose their minds.

"Then what should we do?"

"Teach us, we must be obedient!"

"Yes, yes, teach us, we must be obedient, and if we are not obedient, our food will be deducted."

"Yes, yes, deduct food, whatever you want."

If you swear, you just open your mouth.

"There is a way, but it's not very easy." The deputy housekeeper pretended to be hesitant.

"Let's talk about it, as long as there is a way, when the thing comes to an end, it must be done no matter how difficult it is, otherwise we will be out of luck."

"Yes, yes, let's talk."

The men united in an instant.
