The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 3 All hard earned income paid to the public!
More than ten acres of wheat field, the growth is horrible, but the advantage is that it can be collected quickly, and it will be uprooted in four days.

After plucking the wheat, the work of harvesting the wheat is not over.And get these wheats home.

When the family was separated, the only ox cart was given to Dafang.There are ox carts, and the top of the mountain cannot be reached, so the wheat sheaves can only be transported to the house by mules and people.The second younger brother Song Yingfang led the mule to carry the wheat, while the grandfather Song Tianshun stayed in the field to pack the wheat. Song Yingkui, his father Song Xueqin, second uncle Song Xueyong, and third uncle Song Xueliang could only carry the wheat home one by one on their backs.

This job was really difficult, and it took five men who could use it six days to carry the wheat sheaves from the field to the wheat field at home.In other words, after time travel, his body is not bad, he has a lot of strength, and when he works, he can completely match a real strong laborer, which is better than his second uncle, a serious strong laborer.

The second uncle, Song Xueyong, although his name has "yong" in it, is very thin and weak, and he is not good at work.It is precisely because he is useless in farm work that he said it was difficult to get married, and he has not yet married a wife. In this time and space, he is a proper old leftover man. For his marriage, his grandparents are almost dying.

Get the wheat on the field, the work of harvesting the wheat is not over yet, and the wheat has to be turned into grains.

After being exposed to the sun for seven or eight days, the sheaves are thrown out after they are completely dry.The work of grinding the field is also not easy, or the whole family will go into battle, even the old cows in the cattle pen will be dispatched, pulling the roller around the field.After three full days of grinding, the wheat finally arrived in the warehouse.According to grandfather and father, this year's wheat harvest is not bad, and it has harvested nine stones of grain.However, the Nine Stones of Grain has nothing to do with my family, and almost all of them have to be taken to the town to pay taxes.

The family has [-] mu of land, and the tax grain for each mu of land is two liters of wheat.Does it mean that you only need to pay the tax of six shi grains?Not!
Because the fire consumption has to be paid, the fire consumption of a liter of wheat is two jiao, and the fire consumption alone is more than one stone.In addition to the loss of kicking and fighting when paying the grain, it is excellent to have one stone of the nine stones of grain collected by the family.

The remaining one shimai still couldn’t be eaten, because in addition to the food tax, there was also a servant’s tax. Grandpa, father, and second uncle were all adult men, and each adult male had to pay the government [-] cash as a servant’s tax every year.Fortunately, this year's wheat harvest is good. After paying the normal tax, there is still about a stone of surplus wheat. The wheat can be sold at a price, and the tax can be paid in full after the sale.Otherwise, you have to sell millet to pay the tax. The price of millet is cheap, and you have to sell it for two or three shi.

What kind of Dazheng Dynasty is this (Song Yingkui inquired many times after time travel, only to find out that the place where he lives is called Dazheng Dynasty, and the current year name is Wan'an 18th year, which seems to be a unified empire, but it doesn't match the real history in his memory, he should have traveled to a different time and space), it is really an evil feudal dynasty, and it really doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings.On the surface, [-]% of the tax was collected, but Song Yingkui did some calculations, and the serious tax was at least [-]% or more.Fortunately, after working hard for a year, nearly half of the income was confiscated. It is really not an easy task to survive in such an era!
The ugly wife is close to the home treasure, but the land at home is too far away, and the labor efficiency will be low if the land is far away. Song Yingkui feels that at least half of the time is wasted because of the distance.Do you want to think about it and repair the road leading to the top of the mountain?At least it can make the bullock cart go up the mountain.As long as the bullock cart can go up the mountain, it can save a lot of labor.

But having said that, it seems that there is no bullock cart at home.To buy a bullock cart, you need four or five copper coins.With the financial strength of the family, it seems that there is no such ability in a short time.

It is really inconvenient to not have an ox cart. After harvesting the wheat, there will be a thug.How to pay taxes and food to the town?The government's tax payment date is around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it can't wait for the autumn grain to enter the warehouse.If there is no cart to pull the eighty-nine stone grain, it is impossible to transport it to the town at one time.

"Boss, go and ask your third eldest brother in Yangxili to see if he can borrow his family's ox cart first. We will pay a batch of tax and food tomorrow and the day after that, and we can harvest the autumn fields in a whole package." Song Tianshun thought for several days, and finally decided not to open his mouth to his elder brother, but to borrow the ox cart from another family.The job of borrowing a car naturally fell to Song Yingkui's father, Song Xueqin.

"Well, I'll go to Yangqili later and ask the three majors to borrow a car." Borrowing a car is not a big deal, Song Xueqin didn't think there was any embarrassment, so he agreed casually.

"Brother, how many people in our family will go to pay the grain?" Song Yingkui interrupted quickly when he heard his grandfather ordering his father to borrow a car to pay the grain in the main room.If possible, he also wanted to go to the town to see if he could think of other ways to make money.Farming has no chance of turning around, so I have to take advantage of the upcoming winter slack period and find a way to make some money!
Song Xueqin glanced helplessly at his eldest son, why did the baby always lack common sense in the things he asked recently? "Except for the two young ones, the rest have to go! Taxes and food can't be finished in one cart."

The old man's trip to Yangxili to borrow an ox cart from our family failed in the end.Because he ran into his grandpa Song Tianbao just after he left the house.Perhaps the old man thought he was a real brother, so he said directly to Song Xueqin: "The third child (Song Xueqin's line is three) when your family pays taxes, pull the ox cart in the kiln, and be careful not to wear it out when using it."

After all, he was a relative of the elders, and Song Xueqin couldn't refuse even if he took the initiative to say so, so he agreed to borrow a big car.

"Let me tell you, if you have nothing to do in winter, send the fifth child (Song Xueliang) to work in the front yard, and save food for your family." In addition to borrowing a car, Song Tianbao told Song Xueqin about asking Song Xueliang to work in the big house in winter.

Back home, Song Xueqin told Song Tianshun about his uncle borrowing a car and asking Song Xueliang to work at his house in winter.

"Hmph, this old thief's idea is very serious. When you pick up the car, don't bother with him, let the third child work in his house, there is no door! Why didn't you say this when you separated the family? Get the third child out, and still want to keep disconnecting? No matter how poor our family is, we can't afford the third child's meal." Song Tianshun lay on the kang anxiously, complaining about his elder brother.

Hearing the conversation between grandfather and father in the courtyard, Song Yingkui knew that this was another bloody conflict in the family.My great-grandfather is indeed a very calculating person.He had no son, and it was inevitable that he would adopt one of his brothers' heirs.Originally, it doesn't matter whether it is adopted from the second or third room, but the old man thought about adopting one from the second room and one from the third room.In the third room, he valued his third uncle Song Xueliang.The old man is shrewd in calculation, but the others are not fools either.The second grandfather, Song Tiancheng, had a lot of opinions on this matter. The eldest son Song Xuemo had made it clear that he wanted to adopt Dafang, and if the third boy from the third family was involved, wouldn't Dafang's share of the property be divided into two?So when he separated the family, he tried his best to let Song Xueliang come with Sanfang.

Judging from Song Tianbao's words today, he still has no intention of adopting Song Xueliang!
