Chapter 70 Was Routine?

"Hurry up and say such unlucky things early in the morning, not to mention that it's not our family."

The old Wang nodded with a bitter face, somewhat aggrieved.

Xie Sining was in a fog.

As soon as Aunt Wang looked up, she saw Xie Sining, she grinned at her face, and was inexplicably embarrassed to be seen talking to her man like this.

"What's the matter, auntie?" She asked aloud.

Hearing her question, Aunt Wang sighed slightly.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Someone in the county heard about it before. It is said that the imperial court will increase taxes by [-]%!" It's shocking.

Xie Sining also frowned, she had heard about this before: "Hasn't there been no movement for a long time?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Wang sighed: "How can it be, we thought it was groundless before, and others were talking about it, but didn't someone write a notice yesterday? It's confirmed, why didn't you go Look?"

Xie Sining shook his head, the family was busy with work yesterday, so he really didn't pay attention to the village.

She understood. Uncle Wang looked like he was sighing. Planting crops was originally dependent on God's rewards for food. The weather has not been good these years, and the income in the village has not been good. Everyone tightened their belts and lived a tight life. of.

After harvesting crops and paying taxes every year, there is not much left in their pockets, but now they have to increase by [-]%. Isn’t this fatal? No wonder they sighed.

Xie Sining's expression was also a bit dignified. Although her ginseng was more profitable than the crops, more than [-]% was not a problem, but seeing the villagers like this was a bit uncomfortable.

Uncle Wang had also chopped the meat at this moment, and she walked home with the meat in her hands, and she could still hear people talking about it from time to time when passing by the village.

When passing by a paddy field, I saw many old people with their backs facing the paddy field, with tears in their eyes.

She was in a very serious mood. These people were busy throughout the year, planting in spring, plowing in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, but they couldn't even fill their own stomachs, unable to support their children and grandchildren, and sold a large number of them.

"What does the imperial court think? The court's life is not easy, so don't we have a better life for the peasants?"

Some people were aggrieved, and several women sat around, feeling sorry for themselves.

"Who says it's not! Every day I get up early and work in the dark to wait on the fields, but..."

Someone paused and let out a long sigh, unable to speak.

"Okay, okay, what right do we have to question the decision made by the imperial court, let's go, be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth!" The man in charge obviously understood some things, and dismissed the woman who was sitting under the big tree gossiping.

The villagers left with a sigh in their mouths.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the village was a little dignified, as if covered by a thick layer of fog. Xie Sining looked at the fields in the distance, a little lost in thought.

Suddenly she thought of something, and her eyes lit up slightly. Spatial water can help plants grow. The villagers are living a bad life because of poor harvests these years. If the spatial water is drawn out and put into the fields...

Then if half of this problem can be solved, it will not be so unacceptable to levy [-]% more tax.

But in the past, it was all drawn out on a small scale. If you want to help the village, you will need a lot of space water. You have never produced so much water before. If you really want to implement it, everything has to be considered in the long run.

With a decision in her heart, she became more at ease and less solemn. She let out a long breath and walked home with the freshly cut meat.

Little Gu Ye just woke up not long ago, and was packing up and preparing to go to school, his eyes lit up when he saw her finally come back, and Xie Sining was slightly amused by that anxious look.

"Okay, okay, I see, your snacks and snacks are indispensable."

Gu Ye smiled, waiting for his mother to take out a bag of pastries from the cabinet and stuff them into his hands, he smiled and narrowed his eyes when he smelled the sweet smell at the tip of his nose.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Ye hurriedly replied: "Father took me to eat."

Xie Sining nodded, "I'm going out for a while, and I might come back later at noon, so you and your dad can have lunch first so you don't have to wait for me." He walked out while talking.

Gu Ye followed Xie Sining, took out a piece of pastry from the paper bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked vaguely after it was full: "Mother, where are you going? Can you take Ye'er with you? "

His head has gotten bigger from memorizing military books these days, if he can go out with his mother, he doesn't need to memorize the books.

Xie Sining naturally expected the child's thoughts, and immediately said: "Don't think that I don't know that you want to be lazy and not study, you just follow your father during the day, don't run around, do you understand?"

Although Gu Ye was a little unhappy, but looking at the snacks in his hand, he felt much better. He agreed and didn't mention going out with him anymore.

After the two brothers from the Fang family came and confirmed that things in the courtyard were going well, Xie Sining went back to the house and thought about how to draw out a large amount of space water without arousing suspicion.

This space ring is connected with her consciousness, since she can enter and exit the space at will, then maybe she can control the water source of the space with her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Xie Sining came to the woods behind his house, and hearing the clanging bricks and tiles in front of him, Xie Sining took a hoe and started digging in the ground behind.

There was a lot of movement in front of her, which just covered her voice. She dug like this from morning to afternoon. She dug a deep pit more than two people high. After that, she struggled to climb out of it and threw the hoe aside. , Stand in front of the pit and close your eyes.

She tried to connect the water in the space with the underground. A gust of wind blew through, and the leaves in the forest rustled. The bottom of the deep pit that was as high as two people gradually became wet, and then a mooring clear spring unexpectedly emerged.

Xie Sining then opened her eyes and watched the water source of the deep pit rise gradually. She knew that she had succeeded. She connected the space water to the ground here. As long as her space exists, the water source here will continue to come.

The space water has already been drawn out, and now that the space water has been drawn out, all that remains is how to make the villagers use this water source, which she has to think about.

Back to the front, the two brothers of the Fang family had already built the wall.

It took four or five days to repair the house. The inside and outside of the place have been repaired, and this house finally looks like a home. Looking at the dilapidated house, it looks brand new now, and the fat aunt can't help but admire Xie Siding .

Before, she saw that Xie Sining was so young, it was really pitiful to marry. Everyone in the village thought that this girl was thin and weak, and Gu Ci was sick, so she would have to run away if she couldn't last long, but who would have thought that she was such a thin and weak girl? The little girl who insisted on propping up the family.

Now that Gu Ci's illness has recovered, the life of this family is finally on the right track. Thinking of their family and the mess of their own family's tax issues, the fat aunt can't help but want to sigh.

On weekdays, Fat Aunt is the most reassuring, no matter what time, she always has a smile on her face, but these days Xie Sining clearly felt that Fat Aunt's smile has become less, and she always sighs suddenly.
