Chapter 57
Plant a grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn.Busy and busy until mid-October.

After harvesting the grain, you will have to pay taxes. The taxes in the Great Beijing Dynasty are not bad, probably because of the absolute control of the land. As long as Li Siniu’s family was allocated two acres before, one acre of good land will charge about 2 layers of taxes. , the remaining 8% of the grain and the 3 acres of land from land reclamation, Li Siniu kept enough for the family to chew for a year and a half, and then sold it, earning a full eight taels of silver.

In the past few years, the weather has been good, the harvest in the fields is good, and everyone's life is okay. There are very few people like the Li Wu family who are stingy.

Wang Guixiang cried happily when she saw Yinzi. The money from fishing in the river is free after all.This is what she has worked so hard for so long in exchange for labor, after all, the meaning is different.

With money in hand, Wang Guixiang also became generous, went to the town to pull cloth, buy cotton, and planned to make new cotton clothes and quilts, everyone had a share, which made Li Xiaolan very happy.

The family members were infected by Li Xiaolan's joyful expression, and they were all very happy.

After finishing taxing and selling grain, Li Siniu took a hundred catties of grain to Li Daniu's house to give his mother pension food.

Before entering the door, I heard a noise in the yard.

Li Siniu didn't go in, and after listening for a while, he understood what was going on.

"Si Niu, why don't you go in when you're here." This was the village head's voice.The village head is also annoying, this Li Daniu's family doesn't have a happy life.

"Hey, I just arrived, I can't hear the noise inside, hehe..." Li Siniu stepped aside to let the village chief advance.The village chief nodded secretly when he saw the one hundred catties of grain beside him. After all, there are still people who are filial.

The village head was followed by Erfang's Xiaohe, who called out, "Fourth Uncle."

"Well, let's go in." Li Siniu finally followed in, and it was already here, and it was not easy to carry the food back, it would be ugly, hey, what a coincidence.

"Uncle Gui, you come to comment. It was agreed at the beginning that one hundred catties of grain would be provided for the elderly, but now the second house is sending 50 catties. This is obviously a violation of the law." Zhao Erya hurriedly grabbed the words when she saw the village chief coming. complained.

"Uncle Gui, you can't say that. It's not calculated like this. At the beginning, it was a hundred catties, but it didn't mean you wanted to support two old people. Now that my father is gone, how can my mother eat so much? A room of 50 catties is enough Enough is enough." Wang Xiaocao didn't buy it, retorted and said sarcastically, "This sister-in-law is still not satisfied, because she wants to be honest and greedy for the food we gave to mother. A hundred catties? Hmph, I'm not afraid to hold you to death."

"Okay, don't make any noise." Li Gui, the village head, felt the veins on his temples popping out, "Aren't you bothered? You are arguing about ordering food. A hundred catties is indeed too much. One room is 75 catties, big cow The family has to take care of the elderly, and it is right to get more. Don't ask me for these things in the future, and solve them yourself." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Hearing these words, the two families curled their lips, thinking to themselves if they don't want you to find someone, who made you the village head.He didn't refute the words of the village chief, and everyone took a step back, as long as they all benefited.

"Hey, fourth uncle is here to deliver food. It weighs a hundred catties. Fourth uncle is still filial, unlike some people, come here, give it to sister-in-law..." Zhao Erya said courteously.He was about to grab the bag in Li Sixiu's hand.

"Hmph, who doesn't know that Sifang has made a fortune, why would he care about these dozens of kilograms of stuff, Fourth Uncle, don't forget us poor relatives who have made a fortune, I heard that your family bought a boat? How much did you earn?" Wang Xiaocao said in a strange tone.
