I farmed and raised children in ancient times

Chapter 18
Although going out of the village has to go around the mountain on the east side of the village, but fortunately, the mountain is not very high. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see the bent pine and cypress on the top of the mountain dancing in the wind.

The vegetation on the mountain is lush, and occasionally one or two pheasants can be heard, and even the roar of wild animals can be heard.In the memory of the original owner, there are no ferocious beasts on the nearby mountains, at most there are a few wild boars, spores and other animals, and the rest like hares and pheasants are often the choice of hunters.

After turning over the mountain, there is a flat road. The speed of the donkey cart is obviously much faster. The few people sitting on the cart staggered, and soon began to fall asleep.

But Xie Zhilan is very interested in everything around her.

Leaving the entrance of Liushu Village towards the county seat, there are fields on the left and right sides, which should all belong to Liushu Village in my memory, and many villagers who got up early are busy in the fields.

However, she still found that there were many fields on the other side of the mountain, but they were already deserted, as if no one had taken care of them for a long time.

"Brother Changlin, does that field belong to our village?" She pointed to the wasteland and asked.

Xie Changlin glanced at the car while driving, and said, "Yes! Look at that side." He pointed to a large field on the right side of the road, "These are all."

"Why don't you plant them?"

"Hey—of course I can't afford it!" Dr. Hu, who had been closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep, suddenly took over the conversation.

Xie Zhilan was full of doubts.

Since the original owner gave birth to Xie Lin, she didn't care much about other things except farming and bringing up the baby, so she hadn't left the village for many years, and she didn't know anything about many things in the village.

"Doctor Hu, you look like someone who has seen the world, so please tell me!" Xie Zhilan moved towards Doctor Hu.

Dr. Hu ate her pancakes, and seeing her flattering face, he felt a little complacent, and immediately shook his head and said, "Girl, don't you think that other villages have fields and food similar to ours?" Have something to eat?"

"Is not it?"

Just two days after traveling through time, she felt that the village was poor, but after all, there was no family that couldn't get rid of the pot and couldn't eat—well, if their house hadn't been stolen, the grain could barely survive until the wheat was recovered.

Speaking of which, the damned thief hasn't been found yet, and her mother said that she definitely won't be able to catch him back, and the person who can look up to that small half-urn of grain is probably poor and crazy, so let's treat it as saving that person's life!

When Chen said this, he was drinking porridge, and his attitude was very calm.

But Xie Zhilan knew that if she didn't have the bag of rice she exchanged, her family of four would definitely have to starve and scold that thief all night long!
Zhou Li curled her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she snorted in disgust and turned her face away. Xie Zhilan was a little speechless as she looked like I knew it too, but she just didn't tell you.

But the strange thing is that she didn't say anything about Mrs. Zhou, but the system saw that the points contributed by her were increasing by one point.

Huh?And actively give points?

Xie Zhilan immediately called Zhou Lishi, and when she turned around, she grinned brightly at her!
Zhou Lishi: ...

Is there something wrong with this kid?
Xie Changlin didn't know what was going on behind him, he flicked his whip lightly and said with a smile: "Alan, you are asking the right person, every time Dr. Hu goes to the county town, he must go to the teahouse and listen to the story for a while, what he knows There are many more than us!"

"Really! That would be great!"

After Xie Zhilan finished speaking, she took out another shortbread from her bosom and stuffed it into Dr. Hu's hand, "This is for you! Tell us about it!"

Xie Qingyuan was still a little sleepy, but now he became more energetic.

Seeing that Xie Zhilan took out all the pancakes he was going to sell, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He felt that the current sister was a little too generous. If Mother was in front of her, she would definitely scold her for being a prodigal...

Zhou Lishi's eyes are straight!

White flour cake, also put oil!

This prodigal... uh, it's not my own child, forget it!
But why are you so angry!
Xie Zhilan was a little speechless when she saw that the points from Li Shi from Zhou had increased significantly, but fortunately, the hatred value did not increase. It can be seen that although Li Shi's mouth is not forgiving this week, his heart is not so bad.

Dr. Hu didn't expect that Xie Zhilan's hand was a big pancake, and he was stunned for a moment, but put the pancake in his pocket, "Girl, it's a long story—"

He imitated the appearance and tone of the storyteller in the teahouse, and patted his chin at the end of the sentence, which made everyone in the car want to laugh.

"Although our place is under the jurisdiction of King Huai'an now, it was the fief of King Yingchuan many years ago. That King Yingchuan is a legendary figure. It is said that he was the first prince who applied for a fief and threatened not to participate in the battle for the crown prince. At that time, the late emperor He was still alive, and it is said that he scolded him at that time, but finally agreed, and gave him Yingchuan, which was still relatively barren at that time, as a fief.

King Yingchuan bid farewell to the first emperor and queen mother and took his wife and children to build a palace in Yingchuan. After a few years of comfort, Emperor Yongning ascended the throne. As a result, three consecutive years of frequent wars broke out, and the people were destitute.

In order to increase the revenue of the treasury, King Yingchuan began to reform extensively, and promoted the Shiyetian and the leased fields. The tax was one stone for the Shiyetian and two stones for the leased field. "

When Xie Zhilan heard this, she hurriedly asked, "What do Shiye Tian and Chengzu Tian mean?"

Dr. Hu smacked his lips and said: "The Shiye land belongs to the people themselves, and it is divided according to each person, one and a half acres for men and one and a half acres for women; those who rent land don't care, but men can only rent twenty acres at most. , ten acres for females."

Xie Zhilan made a rough calculation, and was a little puzzled: "Then my family only has two acres of fertile land, and there is still one and a half acres of Susukida. Isn't this land with one less person!"

Dr. Hu smiled, "Your son is not yet eight years old, so he can't be considered a male."

"Ah! Is that so—"

At the beginning when Hu Da talked about the reform of King Yingchuan, she thought that this person was also a time traveler, but now it doesn't look like it anymore, after all, in modern times, as long as he is born and has a registered permanent residence, it counts.

"Are those just leased fields? Why aren't they planted?"

Xie Zhilan felt that King Yingchuan was very forceful. Although he handed in a lot, as long as he was diligent enough, his income would be more.

"Hey—then it was a long story!!"

Dr. Hu sighed, "Later, King Yingchuan had an accident, and this place came under the jurisdiction of King Huai'an. The King of Huai'an increased the tax once a year, and the Chengye land was increased to three stones. The big guy couldn't afford to rent it. It can be left unused!"

"That's right, I heard from my father that I'm afraid it will be added again this year." Xie Changlin also said.

Xie Zhilan hurriedly asked, "What kind of addition?"

Xie Changlin said: "In the past, besides paying one stone per mu, every family in Shiyetian also had Yao service. If the family has such livestock as cattle and sheep, they will pay [-] Wen or [-] catties of meat for each head, and then increase the cloth tax and mulberry tax..."

Xie Zhilan was astonished!
At first, she thought that the reason why the village did not raise cattle and sheep was because there was not enough feed to support them. After all, it is difficult to raise a person. !

Fortunately, she plans to open a chicken farm!
