The days when I purchased goods in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 5 Beautiful?Shit!
"Name?"

"Master Hui Jun, the younger one's name is Ye Xun."

Leaving aside the facts, it is indeed quite stressful to be in close contact with these soldiers. Not to mention all of them are vicious, and some of them obviously have a faint evil spirit.

Sometimes people do have a wonderful sixth sense, and it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But Ye Xun still tried his best to put on a confident smile, exuding the aura that I had read books all over his body, the soldier turned his head and looked up and down for a moment.

"It's still good, it's a piece of material for farming, two acres of land, let's live."

"???"

I am a scholar, how do I look like a farmer?

Seeing Ye Xunchu standing there, the soldier's eyes froze: "Why, don't you want to go there?"

"No, no! It's this kind of military master. These two are me... uncle and younger brother. I wonder if you can accommodate me and come with me?"

"Tch! What kind of place do you think this is? You can't go out at home? The little ones go, the old ones go!" The soldier just glanced at Liu Mu, then sneered, and waved his hand impatiently: "Next!"

In the end, only about one-third of the people who passed the guard review were left. At first glance, there were about 50 people. After following the team out of the city, Xiaodouzi was looking at the lonely old man Liu in the distance with tears in his eyes, not taking a step. willing to move.

Seeing Xiaodouzi's appearance, the soldiers who were in charge of escorting them couldn't help sneering: "Why don't you give up? It's for the good of both of you that he doesn't come."

Ye Xun really couldn't help it anymore, his indignation mixed with his puzzlement: "Master Jun, what do you say?"

"Hey, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"Why did I just..." Ye Xun glared at Yuanyuan angrily, and then he was dazzled by a cold light, and changed the topic: "The little one really doesn't understand, I hope the military master will tell you a thing or two."

"Looking at your fair appearance, I guess you used to be a rich family, so how did you come down to this?" The soldier didn't answer his words, but smiled and said: "Hey, poor people just keep their mouths shut when they shouldn't ask, why bother?" yourself?"

Ye Xun came to his senses, let this guy play him here.

Well, we have to continue after acting, the sword hasn't been retracted yet.

He hesitated for a moment, flipped his palm, and dropped out an iron coin: "Master, please keep it safe, may I explain it in detail?"

The soldier curled his lips, making it clear that he didn't like the three melons and dates of Ye Xun, but after a pause, he casually said a few words: "There are too many people, can you afford to pay taxes? There are two taxes every year, and the field is worth a stone for an official. It’s just official, so don’t double down!”

"This means... once the rice starts to pay a bucket of tax?" Ye Xun was surprised at first, but then felt that it was nothing more than one-fifth, that's not much, as for scaring people so much?
Looking at him like that, the soldiers knew that this guy must be a young man from a poor family, and it's not much to pay two out of ten?
"Success, needless to say about other miscellaneous taxes, body money is not counted?" The soldiers taught Ye Xun a lesson while talking and laughing: "On your two acres of land, the yield per mu is no more than three stones. Seven buckets and five liters, if you add an old man, the whole family will not have to live."

"!!!" Ye Xun was really shocked this time, a person with seven buckets and five promotions a year?
How much rice was harvested a year in the Song Dynasty?How much is one stone in 100 catties?

Let’s calculate it on the basis of one hundred catties. If the income is collected twice a year, three people will pay two stones and two buckets for two acres of land, plus 20% twice a year...

Good guy, most of them are gone?
With Ye Xun's appetite, eating rice alone can make one and a half catties a day, 45 catties a month, and six hundred a year...

Well, it's equivalent to eating the whole family's rations by himself.

No wonder the soldier said it was for them, this guy is really not lying.

"How? Thinking about it now, the officials are taking care of you, right? Do you still want the old man to come back?" the soldier asked proudly.

When Zhu Xin was asked, even Xiaodouzi hesitated.

It's not that he forgot his grandfather because of his meal, but he was even more worried that Ye Xun would completely give up on old man Liu, and that way, he would definitely not stay.

But Brother Ye didn't do any heavy work at first glance, so he was asked to take care of the two acres of land by himself-I'm afraid the output per mu will make the officials label him "crime of deceiving the emperor"...

"No, no, no, Mr. Jun, since this is the case, the younger one must let my uncle come back. Even if it is a little bit hard and tiring, the whole family must be tidy, at least not panic." Ye Xun said confidently.

"Hehehe... Cheng, since your family is so desperate to live, then you will be fulfilled." The soldier didn't know what kind of psychological activities he had gone through, but he nodded in agreement at the end.

At the end of the day, after arranging the households into the house, he threw the money without iron on the ground in the back room, and left without looking back.

The iron money fell to the ground with a clang.

"Master Jun, do you dare to ask your name?" Ye Xun chased him out.

"My surname is Wang and my name is Yuan. See you by fate."

……

Back in the house, I saw Xiaodouzi stood up with red eyes, and the old man Liu who was beside him also stood up with difficulty, and even made a gesture to kneel down.

"Young master Ye, I thank you for your kindness in taking me in."

"You can't make it!" Ye Xun was taken aback. People these days say they are simple and honest, but they are too straightforward, and they will kneel at every turn. No wonder many long-lived men don't live long.

The blessings can't be suppressed.

"Brother Ye, you are so kind. You obviously would have taken our ration if you stayed, but you still didn't even think about it and talked to the military master. I, my little Douzi, can't repay you. From now on, my humble life belongs to Brother Ye! I'll make you a cow or a horse!"

Ye Xun couldn't laugh or cry, he was quite passionate.

"Mr. Liu, and Xiaodouzi, don't thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have survived last night. I didn't talk about it. It's selfish to keep you. I really don't know how to farm. What happens in the field in the future Son, there are two more." Ye Xun clasped his hands together, closed the door, and finally mentioned the thing he had been thinking about.

"Mr. Liu, I wonder if you still have any money?"

Ever since he encountered money, Ye Xun opened up his own space unintentionally. He really wanted to know if there would be any new changes in the space if he came into contact with more property.

"Yes! Yes!" Old man Liu tremblingly took out a small cloth bag from his arms. After untying it for a long time, he took out a small string of iron coins inside, and there was actually a copper plate in it.

Then he handed it over to Ye Xun.

"Master Ye..."

"No, Mr. Liu, please don't call him Young Master anymore, you can just call him by name, Ye Xun... I just got it temporarily, and it sounds pretty good to my ear."

"Success, the old man would rather be respectful than obedient." Old man Liu cupped his hands again, and continued: "These iron coins can be used at will, but Tongbao can't be used. The officials have taken them back, and they must not be easily shown to others."

It's no wonder that there are no copper plates for people to see in the market. I dare to say this is the reason.After two days of personal experience, Ye Xun truly understood that the Great Song Dynasty was far less beautiful than many people said.

Excessive and miscellaneous taxes are scary. It is said that there are various salt taxes, leather taxes, wine taxes, and even bridge taxes. How can ordinary people bear it?
As the so-called literati's paradise and common people's hell, it's really not bad at all.

There were about a dozen iron coins, Ye Xun held them tightly in his hand and waited for a while, but nothing changed, which made him a little disappointed.

He didn't think too much, and returned it to Old Man Liu.

"This is it?" Liu Mu was taken aback, thinking that Ye Xun didn't think much of his wealth, maybe he would go back on his word?

"Uncle Liu, I will call you Uncle from now on, so you won't be suspicious." Ye Xun said with a smile: "What I mean is that now that everyone has a place to live, they don't have to keep their money close by. Just find a safe place to hide it, and as for this copper plate..."

"Master, can you lend me a look?"

When his fingers touched this Jiayou Tongbao, Ye Xun immediately had an unusual feeling.
