Villager of Daming

Chapter 1115: Vessels taxed and then free

"Next to it is our vegetable plot, where we also grow beans. We are not villagers, so we are allowed to grow vegetables, but we have to fish and it is better to be close to the river..."

Tian Hai walked along the river for a while, pointing to the land next to him and introducing it to Zhu Di.

He told Zhu Di that after learning about the drought this summer, he planted more on the river bed. The water could not overflow and the soil was still fertile.

Everyone grew beans and sorghum as soon as they could. Not just the four fishermen, but everyone else knew how to do it.

It was agreed that there would be a drought in the summer, so we quickly cleared the ground and planted it first. Even if it rains in the fall, there won't be much water. By then, all the crops will be harvested.

According to routine operations, the people not only dug as much land as possible under the river bed, but also dug up dried mud and carried it back to their homes, dried it, and spread it in their gardens.

The four fishermen families choose the land by the river first, and then others, because it doesn't cost money to take a boat to the other side. Sometimes they give some things from home, but no one asks for them if they don't give them.

The four fishermen families will not change their choice after making their choice. In addition to choosing a piece of land on the river bed near their home, they will also plant their land in a certain part of the nearby river with few people. There are boats to go back and forth, which is convenient.

People near the river are very happy this year. They have a variety of food. Soybeans are also used as food for the people. They can grow bean sprouts, soak them, stir-fry, stew, or steam them.

"No, no, no, Your Highness, we don't have to pay for picking up and dropping off people."

Zhu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's why the ship is big. When you spend money to carry people to and from the two sides of the strait, you have to have a life jacket made of gourd, and put it on when you get on the ship.

"Brother Hanhan is right. When a gourd falls into the water, it will float up. Press the gourd and the gourd will float! Someone planted a big gourd and used it to hold clothes and carry it across the river! This way, you won't be afraid of being flooded."

The fishermen listened with admiration. His Highness, King Yan, is so powerful at his age?
"Gourd, floating, floating, in the water, gourd, floating, um! Hey hey hey hey..."

A passenger then provides a larger gourd into which they can put their precious items.

When you are in danger, don't lose things when you are floating. Then develop a gourd and sell it to whoever likes it. "

When Tian Hai heard that he was receiving money, his head shook like a rattle. Fellow villagers, whose money do you want? How can you speak?
"Oh my God! You just said you were willing to pay tax. Did you think you were going to pay fishing tax? It's 10% of the tax."

Tian Hai and Zhu Di talked about this, and Zhu Di talked about little tips from time to time, such as fermenting the bean cakes slightly before steaming them with wild vegetables, so that they are more fragrant.

In fact, bamboo tube ones are also fine, but since we grow gourds here, we use gourds exclusively to promote local characteristics.

"The river bed on the south bank here is better, with a lot of silt. At the same time, soybeans are planted just below the river embankment. The river embankment provides shade. When planting soybeans further down, sorghum must be planted first, otherwise the soybean seedlings will dry out if exposed to too much sun. Watering The output can’t even increase…”

Zhu Wentian suddenly pointed his heavy machine gun at the gourds planted on the shore and pointed at the river.

Also, plant things down to the river bed, and try not to plant anything that requires a scaffolding, because the mud corrodes the branches or bamboo poles used to build the scaffolding very quickly.

The fifth child, Zhu Rui, quickly translated and agreed.

Either exchange for tofu with the tofu seller, or take the beans when the village is pressing oil together, and everyone can work together to press the oil, and take the bean cakes home to steam and eat.

Zhu Di told the other party what he knew. He had a strong desire for knowledge, and Xiaqiu Village could teach him anything, so he naturally learned it.

Zhu Fan suddenly understood something: "We sent you a boat just to collect some fishing tax from you? How much fishing tax can we get? There are four families in total.

Let’s tell the officials that your fishery tax will be exempted. There will be no tax on fishing and selling fish.

You need to carry people from outside across the river, and then decorate the boat so that there will be a bridge, so people don’t need to take the boat. After the boat is renovated, instead of fishing, you hang up lanterns and take the merchants to float on the river at night.

Can you cook fish? I'll teach you some dishes, and you guys will cook shrimp pots and crab pots. You'll earn money in this way and pay 10% tax.

When a businessman goes upstream, he thinks of walking downstream, which is as comfortable as taking a boat. Especially if you are far away from the bridge, it costs nothing to go around and walk on the bridge, but it costs money to take a boat.

Walking around the bridge cost you nothing, hiring someone to do it costs you money, and wastes time.

Your family opens a small wine shop on the shore. The bridge is actually good. Four households can collect taxes. "

Zhu Fan felt insulted. He looked at people through the cracks in the door and looked down on them. If I give you a boat, do you have to pay more fishing tax?
"Ah? Are there merchants? Where did the merchants come from?" A fisherman next to him looked around, but there were no merchants!

"It will be there soon, the calculation is too powerful!"

Fang Dachuan, the head of Xiashan Village, figured it out. It turned out to be a game of nine linked rings, right?
Other officials understood better, and Xu Da smiled: "It seems that what your highnesses have learned is practical, and I am very relieved."

"General, that's a ridiculous compliment." Zhu Di was modest, straightened his chest, and looked at Xu Yihua.

Xu Yihua also looked at him with a look of admiration on his face, and after slapping his big eyes that had been raised by Ling'er twice, Zhu Di instantly wanted to get his second brother to take the concubine as soon as possible.

"Is the bridge going to be built?" Tian Haike didn't care about other things, he said happily: "Great, with the bridge, it will be more convenient for everyone to travel between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Sometimes when we are fishing outside, someone wants to cross the river, but we don’t know. If there is an emergency, it will be delayed.

Generally, when someone has any big events, they tell us in advance. If there is no time to tell us, oops! great! There needs to be a bridge. "

The other fishermen nodded and expressed their happiness.

They did not feel that they had lost their value after the bridge was built. Instead, they were happy that they no longer had to worry about delaying people on both sides of the river from crossing the river.

Of course, what was mentioned in advance was an important event. Who was going to get married? Juliang Village and Daliang Village were getting married to each other. The wedding required picking up the bride, holding a banquet, and four small boats to transport them back and forth.

Sudden emergencies are usually trivial matters. Someone in the family has died and it is impossible to say hello in advance. As soon as the person leaves, a temporary shout will force relatives on both sides to cross the river immediately.

For example, if something like this happened to the head of Daliang Village, the head of Juliang Village would have to take someone to the other side. The same goes for getting married. There are too many marriages between the two parties.

You have to calculate which family is connected to which family, and then the five servers will be released. Otherwise, it will be chaotic. The ones that are not released will have to be found outside, such as the east bank, or you still have to cross the river.

Ling'er smiled, this is a virtue, thinking about others, she rolled her eyes: "We have an idea, based on how many people we can pick up and drop off every month, for free, and then the government will provide subsidies.

Build more piers along the river. Everyone can get on the boat from any pier without paying any money. You are responsible for the ferry.

Then there are shops selling things at all the docks, such as those selling wontons, and we charge them shop rent.

Those who don't rent a shop don't get paid. They push their own wheelbarrows and bring things to the bridge to sell, and whatever they sell is their own.

As long as they make money, they have to spend it, and the currency will circulate, and local products will inevitably have more additional sales.

Yes, free things don’t necessarily mean loss, they may also earn more.”
