After the whole network was hacked, she traveled through the small fishing village of Datang

Chapter 31 Settling down and being a good citizen

"Wait, I still have rice over there, I'll get it."

"Rice?" Mrs. Zhang looked at the lard residue and then at Su Qingqing, "I'll help Sister Su with you."

"Okay." Su Qingqing didn't object. She wanted to tell them.

The two walked to the study side by side, and the first thing they saw was the two large wooden boxes next to them.

"This..." Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "Is this what Sister Su moved in last night?"

Su Qingqing, a cute little lady, moved two wooden boxes so big from the mountain silently?
Mrs. Zhang almost doubted her own eyes. Is this true?
Su Qingqing didn't say anything, and stepped forward, grabbing rice in her left hand and millet in her right hand. The two bags of 25 kilograms of grain each seemed like nothing in her hands - Su Qingqing had become a strong man after being transformed by the time and space gate.

Mrs. Zhang quickly stepped forward to help and grabbed a millet bag, which was almost unsteady.

Seeing how Su Qingqing was lifting it with ease, she thought this thing was weightless because it looked so big!

As a result, you only know how important it is when you get started. Looking at Su Qingqing's thin and tender arms wrapped under the silk shirt, she felt another burst of self-doubt.

Mrs. Zhang blurted out: "Sister Su is so strong."

Su Qingqing nodded lightly: "Yes, he is born with divine power."

Su Qingqing accepted that she had become a strong man.Even time travel has happened, water god energy has appeared, what else can't be done!

And she had no intention of hiding it. There was no need to hide this kind of thing.Just let everyone know how amazing she is, and it’s a good thing to be a little afraid.

For today's breakfast, Mrs. Zhang and Mr. He no longer had to eat the watery porridge, because Su Qingqing directly scooped a big spoonful of rice!
A bag of rice and a bag of millet she brought were piled in the rice vat next to the stove, stimulating the nerves of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. He.

Needless to say, rice has been grown and pounded as the staple food in the South since ancient times.

As for millet, it has a longer history than rice. It is not only widely cultivated, but also easy to store and process.

In the Tang Dynasty, millet was not called millet, but "millet", and it could be called the king of grains.

The so-called grains are millet (millet), rice (rice), millet (sorghum), wheat (wheat), and bean (soybean).

Su Qingqing was originally a person who didn't distinguish between grains and grains. She only understood this after studying the grains map on the void panel in the past few days.

On the dinner table, there was white rice porridge with steamed ham and small fried fish, and Su Qingqing was extremely satisfied.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Qingqing and hesitated for a while, but hesitated to speak.

Su Qingqing said strangely: "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Mrs. Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "Sister Su, don't worry about what I say next. I think since you have so many things, you might as well buy some land. If you have land in your hand, it will be easier to settle down." Oh, it’s not like I don’t welcome you to live in my house..."

Su Qingqing interrupted Zhang and said, "Yes, I know. If you don't tell me, I would have mentioned it later."

She brought the piece of silk here just to build connections in the Tang Dynasty.

You can't always be a gangster in the Tang Dynasty, that's not a good thing.

"Since Sister Su also has this idea, after breakfast I will take you to find Uncle Li Zheng. He doesn't live in our small fishing village, but in the village over the valley."

"Okay, it's work."

A village in the Tang Dynasty has four households as neighbors and five neighbors as security. Hundreds of households constitute one li, with one person in the village, and five li as one township, with one senior citizen.There are only about 20 households in this small fishing village, and they live in a remote place. Naturally, there is no Li Zheng. Usually, the patriarchs of the two major surnames discuss matters, and Li Zheng rarely comes here.

Patriarchs, village chiefs, lords, elders, etc. are the basic management framework in the countryside.Officials of the imperial court generally did not go to the countryside. Orders and policies were publicized and implemented through these people, including tax collection.

Of course, if certain taxes cannot be collected, delinquents and government servants may be temporarily recruited as strong men.

At this time, it is time for the common people to suffer. The officers and soldiers will not be reasonable with you in collecting taxes.

You have to pay whatever is assessed, and exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes can drive people to death.

If there is a big squire in the local area, most of the farmers will depend on the squire for their livelihood.For example, in this small fishing village, half of the population depends on Yaliu Villa.

If a banker has no land, he is not considered a pure farmer, but a tenant customer who is bankrupt and has fled.

The Tang Dynasty enacted strict laws to strictly prohibit the leakage of household registration.However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the burden on farmers increased, and the number of households that escaped and disappeared became more and more, and the law's control over households became weaker.

Even so, the two taxes still have to be paid. In short, it is difficult to survive.In the feudal dynasty, it was inevitable that the working people at the bottom were exploited and plundered.

However, this chaotic situation is also good for Su Qingqing.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was a bit difficult for Su Qingqing, whose origins and origins were unknown, to settle down in the countryside after being called a hermit in the mountains without any credentials.

Due to special conditions in the Zhang family, there were no adult males, so she had no intention of helping Su Qingqing hide in the house.

There is no guarantee and the risk is high.It’s time to settle down, you still have to settle down.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, refugees had to be sent back to their place of origin.But after the Anshi Rebellion, the world was in chaos, and the laws naturally changed.

The government complied with public opinion, and it became a common practice to attach local citizenship.

The current Tang law stipulates that customers who have lived in their place of residence for more than one year, established a business, and have a stable income can register as a household on the spot and officially become "Datang Households and All People".

As long as Su Qingqing buys land, buys property, and cultivates fields, she will naturally be able to complete the household registration process when the household registration is counted next year.

Of course, if you want to speed up the progress, use money.

The court still welcomes those who are willing to pay taxes. The tax population of a place is always one of the performance assessments for officials.

After finishing the meal, Su Qingqing and Mr. Zhang took the peeled deer skin and a piece of venison and first went to the fourth uncle of Zhang's husband in the clan.

It was just tanning fur, which was exactly what the other party was good at, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

After doing this, the two of them went back to the house, took a bowl of sliced ​​ham, picked up a bucket of millet, and headed out of the village.

The surname of Li Zheng here is Chen, and he is from the same family as the owner of Yaliu Villa.

The Chen family was also a wealthy family in Lingnan. It rose in the Liang Dynasty and declined in the mid-Tang Dynasty.Now in the late Tang Dynasty, his family's prestige and power have weakened.

But for these ten miles and eight villages, it is still a giant. It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and this is exactly the case.

Su Qingqing followed Zhang over the mountains and entered a place with towering ancient trees and entwined vines. There was an archway at the entrance of the village, which was the three characters "Chenjiacun".

Surrounded by rare plains, this village is one of the rare wealthy villages nearby. Basically, every household in the village is still a farmer, and everyone has land.
