The peasant girl wants to turn the sky: the black-bellied husband, come to farm

Chapter 20

"I planted it slowly, but there is still enough food for tax payment." Qiao Changshun replied without thinking.

Today's taxes are mainly for grain and cloth.

If money is used instead of food and cloth, it must be paid according to the tax standard of merchants, because the current emperor does not like merchants and emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, so if it is used according to the standards of merchants, the money paid will be more.

For example, if you pay food, you only need to pay two stones.

But if you pay silver, if two stones of grain are worth one tael of silver, then you have to pay two taels of silver to pay taxes, which is twice as expensive.

"You still have to help me with my business, so you have so much free time to farm. I think it's enough to buy five acres."

Knowing that the field is the lifeblood of farmers, Qiao Maimai explained carefully for Qiao Changshun, "Father, grinding beans is too heavy work, we have to replace them, and we have to send the tofu to the town. I alone can't do it."

"I'll help my sister with work!" Qiao Xiaomai's words fell, and Qiao Dami hurriedly spoke with a loud voice.

He still had mung bean cake stuffed in his mouth, and his little mouth was bulging like a little squirrel.

Qiao Xiaomai smiled, picked up the porridge and put it in front of him, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

She raised her hand and rubbed Qiao Dami's little head, then looked at Qiao Changshun, "Father, farming is too tiring and the food produced is too little, so let's do business. Look at the Tong family and Jiang family who are doing business in the village, Had a good time."

"Huh?" Qiao Changshun looked at Qiao Xiaomai in surprise, his brain was a little overwhelmed, "Business? Are you serious?"

Qiao Xiaomai was a little helpless. Before the relationship, Qiao Changshun thought she was joking, and she not only asked, "Is it possible to plant the land for a lifetime?"

"This...doing business, this..." Qiao Changshun opened his mouth, unable to speak.

He has spent his whole life planing on the land, and he is used to working in the ground every day. Now that he is asked to change and explore a new road, he instinctively wants to resist.

The three words of doing business are scary and unfamiliar to him.

Qiao Xiaomai took a long breath, and asked patiently, "Father, do you want our family to eat white noodles and porridge every day?"

"Think." Qiao Changshun replied instinctively.

"Then just by farming, can our family eat white noodles and porridge every day?" Qiao Maimai asked again.

Qiao Changshun was silent for a moment, then replied, "No."

"Then let's do business." Qiao Xiaomai made a decision, "Grind the beans and see if you can make something like starch. If you can, send them to the town to sell at Jiweiju. I think the shopkeeper is pretty good." OK."

She originally planned to set up a small stall in the town, but now that she has shopkeeper He's line, she should sell it to shopkeeper He.

Setting up a small stall is too troublesome, wait until you earn enough money to buy a storefront in the town before talking about other things.

To make money, you have to do it step by step.

Thinking of this in his heart, Qiao Xiaomai dragged the basket joyfully, took out the silver and copper plates inside, and put them on the small table.

The silver glowed warmly in the faint light, and Qiao Dami couldn't help but shine in his eyes, "A lot!"

"Yes, but remember, you must not tell about our family's money, or the gang from the old house will come and snatch it." Qiao Maimai told him earnestly.

Qiao Dami nodded hurriedly, "I won't say."

Sun's door-to-door snatching left too much shadow on him, and he wouldn't say anything if he was killed!

However, thinking about Qiao Maimai's words yesterday, he couldn't help but said, "Sister, since our family has money, let's go and call our mother back, and she won't have to work to earn money."
