Chapter 1915 Symposium!
"Study hard! Work hard!"

All of a sudden, everyone shouted in unison.

Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue looked at each other and smiled, and when everyone calmed down, Xiao Yichen looked at the official road outside and saw that Dongfang Lingyu hadn't come yet, so he said: "It's still early, why don't I and the queen chat with you about home affairs. "

Everyone cheered when they heard this, and Li was busy pulling his wife beside him, saying: "Hurry up and bring stools to the emperor and empress."

Li Zheng's wife hurriedly nodded in agreement, then turned around with a smile.

Shui Lingyue said with a smile: "Everyone can go back and get the stools, let's stay here and have a symposium!"

The old man who delivered the wheat heard it just now, grinned, and said, "Madam, our farmers don't pay attention to it, just sit on the ground."

The others also echoed, saying, "We'll just sit on the ground."

At this time, Li Zheng's wife had already brought a long bench over, and placed it respectfully behind Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue.

Xiao Yichen carefully supported Shui Lingyue to sit on the bench, and then sat beside her, with his right hand naturally wrapped around her waist, protecting her carefully.

Xiao Yichen waved his left hand and said, "Then everyone sit down."

Therefore, the villagers of Lihua Village sat in front of Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue in a fan shape with Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue as the center of the circle, while the guards, eunuchs and court ladies stood behind Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue, and the people on both sides, Standing and sitting at the same time, surrounded the emperor and empress, as if they were their sun.

Xiao Yichen looked at the old man before, and asked with a smile: "Old man, how much land have you planted this year?"

The old man was flattered and quickly replied: "A total of five mu of land has been planted, one mu of Susukida is our own, and the other four mu are rented. They are all dry fields, so they are all planted with wheat."

Xiao Yichen asked again: "How many catties of wheat are harvested for that one mu of field?"

The old man counted with his fingers, and said: "This year, the weather is beautiful, and one mu of Susukida has harvested two hundred catties of wheat."

"How much rent did you pay for the four acres of land you rented?"

When the old man heard this, his old face, which was originally beaming, immediately wrinkled together, and he said with a mournful face: "After paying the rent, there is a total of six hundred catties of wheat left. We were originally a family of four, eating oatmeal soup It's not enough, hey, the two adults are dead, now we are left with two grandparents, and we can barely make it to the next season."

Xiao Yichen's face darkened instantly.

A total of five mu of land, calculated as [-] catties of wheat per mu, a total of [-] catties of wheat was harvested, but in the end there were only [-] catties left. , I collected [-] catties of rent, this ratio is a bit frighteningly high,

According to the law, a catty of wheat can produce seven taels of flour, and an ordinary adult eats seven taels of flour every day, 360 five days a year, and needs to eat 360 five catties of wheat.

Because farmers will have some vegetables and fruits grown by themselves as a supplement to their daily diet, and they will also raise some chickens and ducks, which can offset some wheat.

So even if an adult eats 280 catties of wheat per year, and a child eats 1000 catties of wheat every year, this old man’s family of four would need more than [-] catties of wheat. I was full, but after paying the rent of [-] catties, I couldn't get enough to eat at all.
