Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 37
Looking at the old man who was suddenly discouraged in front of him, Liu Qingcao had no intention of putting more pressure on him, and tried to persuade him.

"Village Chief Jiang, I just want to find a way for the villagers to survive. Your generation is living in the shadows. Can you come out? It's not a matter of hiding from the world and not interacting with others. Besides, the villagers still have Relatives and children, most of them have not experienced that disaster, and it may be difficult to do like you.

Have you ever thought that, in fact, the next generation of people also want to live in a warm environment like other villagers, instead of such a cold place? "

"The juniors are also very good..." Jiang Dahe's eyes drifted, and his voice returned to Liu Qingcao weakly.

Liu Qingcao was not annoyed, and continued:
"Okay, since Village Chief Jiang agreed, I won't say anything else. Let's take your grandson as an example. Why did you send him to the town academy? Did you force him to go?"

"Here, I have some money in my family, and I will provide him with a grandson, I"

Jiang Dahe tried to cover it up, but he found that the more he talked, the less reason he had.

That's right, brother Chuan insisted on going to the academy, and it happened that he still had some money, so he sent it.

Alas, according to the left and right, it's all because of his dereliction of duty as the village head, otherwise why it has been more than ten years, and the situation is still like this?

"Village Chief Jiang, if the tax comes down this year, if the people in our village can't pay the tax, think about it, what will this group of people do?
Buying and selling the fields and houses on which they depend for survival, or preparing to sell their children and daughters to spend this year’s taxes, and the money from this year’s sales has been handed over, so what will these people do in winter, waiting to freeze to death and starve to death?

Even if you survived by luck, what should you do if you have no source of harvest and next year's tax?With no money and no food, would that disaster have to happen again? "

Liu Qingcao finished speaking in one breath, picked up the tea and drank slowly, Jiang Dahe's face became more and more ugly and pale when he heard the little girl's words, and at the end, his hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Qingcao was startled.

Liu Qingcao: This person wouldn't scare himself away, would he?

Fortunately, it only lasted for a while, and Jiang Dahe recovered. He looked at the person across from him in shock, then with trembling hands, he picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip into his mouth. He said firmly:
"Then, what you said about opening up wasteland..."

"What you say is true. One mu of land costs 150 renminbi. You can go and inform the villagers to do it, but you can't fish in troubled waters. If you fail the inspection, you have to go back to work."

Liu Qingcao put her words up front, lest someone suddenly figure it out and take advantage of her when she sees that she is so small and easy to fool.

"Okay, I'll go door-to-door to notify in a while, presumably, they can also figure out the pros and cons."

When Liu Qingcao saw that Jiang Dahe had figured it out and agreed to recruit workers in the village, the hanging stone in her heart fell.

In fact, if there is no official tax, she will also look for other breakthroughs, but the effect and impact are not as strong.

After the matter was settled, Liu Qingcao and Niu Laotou left Jiang Dahe's residence and returned to their yard.

After Liu Qingcao left, Jiang Dahe recruited his son and daughter-in-law, and told them about Liu Qingcao's recruitment and a series of hidden disadvantages after paying the official tax.

As Jiang Dahe said, he was afraid at the same time. Yes, in the past, this village was silent in fear and grief, and the higher authorities were tolerant of them.

However, they never thought about what kind of situation Shihe Village would face after the higher authorities imposed taxes on them.

Jiang Dafu, the eldest son of Jiang Dahe, is a burly farmer, influenced by his own son Jiang Chuan in thinking, he is bolder and shrewder than Jiang Dahe.

"Father, Brother Chuan is right. Someone in our village should jump out and break this strange hard shell, and this person has to be you, because you are the village head, and you can no longer escape, otherwise that kind of thing will happen." It will happen again." Jiang Dafu clenched his fists and looked at his father with piercing eyes, fearing that his father would retreat again just like in those years.

"Father, elder brother is right, that girl is right, so many years have passed, and the younger generation has grown up, we need to go out and have a look." Jiang Dahe's second son, Jiang Dayin, added and continued.

Jiang Dahe saw that his two sons were firm and his emotions were affected by them, so he immediately ordered his sons to act.

"Okay, Dafu, you bring your spring flowers, Dayin, you bring your magnolia. Let's go door to door and notify them separately. We have to explain it to them. One mu of land costs 150 renminbi. The family will open up a few more acres of wasteland and sell some food. Go out, the official tax will be settled this year, and the houses on the other side of the green grass will be built, so don’t be afraid that people can’t pay the money and let them do their jobs for nothing.”

"Okay, then Chunhua and I will notify the village first. Dad, you can go with mother." Jiang Dafu looked at your father who was sitting still, rolled his eyes, and grinned. He said with a grin.

"Uh, you guys go first, I'll wait for your mother, don't worry, dad knows the seriousness of the matter this time, so he won't stop going." Jiang Dahe immediately expressed his opinion after hearing his son's questioning tone.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Dayin looked at each other in tacit understanding, raised their eyebrows, and pulled their daughter-in-law out the door.

After the two sons left, Jiang Dahe wandered alone at the door, and Li Shumei packed herself up and came out just in time to see her with a gentle smile on her lips, walking forward.

"Old man, the arrow has been sent, you can't back down, or you will have to laugh at you for years when your sons come back."

After Li Shumei finished speaking, Jiang Dahe blushed, pretending to be angry and said:
"Who said I won't go, I'm waiting for you."

"Let's go then, I'll pack it up."

Li Shumei walked forward with a smile, Jiang Dahe swallowed, gritted his teeth, and walked in front with his sleeves flung, Li Shumin secretly covered his mouth and smiled when he saw the old man's childishness.

Jiang Dahe walked out of the house for a long time, only to find that his son and daughter-in-law were irritating him, but he had already agreed to this matter, and he went out, if he was really scared and turned around, he would not need his old face.

Jiang Dafu went to the head of the village, Jiang Dayin went to the end of the village, and Jiang Dahe went to the nearest families around the house.

Jiang Dafu went to the first house in the village, Tian Lin's house. There were only the two of them and two daughters in his family. There were four people in total. His parents passed away a few years ago, leaving five acres of land and feeding a few chickens. A pig, when half of the tax is paid, life will be able to live, and when it is fully paid, life will not be easy this winter.

Jiang Dafu was about the same age as him, but they lived in the same village, so they hardly spoke a few words.

Seeing people coming, Tian Lin was a little cautious at first, but after Jiang Dafu finished speaking, he thought quietly for a while.

His parents have been depressed for ten years, they don't get along with others, and they don't let them, the younger generation, go outside to deal with people. Now that his parents are gone, he doesn't have to worry too much.

"Da Fu, my wife and I will go to open up wasteland tomorrow. We can earn some money, pay taxes, and make our family's life easier."

Tian Lin stretched out his big calloused hand, and lovingly touched his eldest daughter's head.

Looking at Tian Lin's appearance, Jiang Dafu smiled gratifiedly, and said that people of his generation were not so rigid in their thinking, but in this environment, they lacked an opportunity to let themselves out.
