Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 113 Taxes in Jiuyuan County, Huns Herdsmen and Leaders
Entering midsummer, Jiuyuan County is located in the north but it is not too hot. Various water conservancy projects on the Yellow River have also begun construction under the leadership of Mo Zhe.

Although this is not the Mohist's strong point, but because of the help of the farmers, and the people who know that these water conservancy projects are built for themselves, they came to help.

These water conservancy projects began to be built in a mighty way.Even if it can't keep up with the irrigation of farmland this year, this kind of project can benefit for a hundred years.

"True," said Xi Niu, who was repairing water conservancy projects for the tributary of the Yellow River leading to his village, and he couldn't help talking to his neighbor next to him.

Since Shi was praised by his son Fusu, Shi has suddenly become the most famous person in Xi Niu's immigrant village. If Shi hadn't been married, there must be many parents of little girls visiting.

In fact, he took a look at his neighbor, and he also understood the habits of his neighbor's Xi Niu in the past three months. Although Xi Niu likes to complain a lot, but his nature is not bad, and the assigned tasks will be completed honestly.

Hearing Xi Niu talk about his life experience, it seems that because he likes to complain, he is looked down upon by the elders and other helpers. Later, he was forced to emigrate to Henan because he didn't have enough food to eat and drink by himself.

But he just couldn't hold back his mouth.

"Actually, do you think those corns can really be harvested?" Xi Niu said while shoveling the ground under his feet.

Thinking of the fact that the plant grown from corn has only one fruit, and I don't know how much food it can produce, Xi Niu, who has never seen it before, is a little pessimistic.

In fact, he was a little confused. After all, he had never grown corn before, but he received a pair of cows and sheep as rewards a few days ago. Young Master Fusu had already sent someone to the wooden house where he lives now.

I still remember that day, when my mother-in-law saw the pair of cattle and sheep, she burst into tears of joy. With this cattle and sheep, not only would there be livestock that could help in farming, but also wool for use.

The Shi family had nothing before immigrating, but now they have [-] acres of land, their own house, and a pair of cattle and sheep. These assets can be regarded as rich peasants in the entire Qin State.

"I believe in you, you don't need to lie to us!" Shi shook his head, digging firmly in the direction of his village.

"I also believe in you, sir, and I hope there will be a good harvest!" Xi Niu looked at it and hurriedly followed to dig the soil.

At present, the agricultural tax in most parts of the Qin State is one or two out of ten taxes, while Jiuyuan County is waiting for a lot of waste and distributes farmland for free. The current agricultural tax is four out of ten taxes.

Four or three years after the ten taxes were imposed, the ten taxes and two taxes began. Moreover, Jiuyuan County also had the advantage that the corvee could serve in the nearby Gaoque Fortress.

To know how close Gaoquesai is to Jiuyuan County, the distance between the two is less than three days.If the family can afford horses, they may not have to go back and forth for a day, and there will be no such pain of homesickness in exile for thousands of miles.

Compared with the farming customs of the people of Zhuxia, the alfalfa planted by the Xiongnu herdsmen was obviously faster and had a remarkable effect.

Not to mention the large size of alfalfa, there are many parts that can be eaten by cattle, sheep, and horses. The tender grass leaves that can produce water all make the appetites of cattle, sheep, and horses.

Cow milk, goat milk and even horse milk are abundant these days, and the faces of the women who milk the milk are full of happy smiles. The milk is used to make cheese and can be used for a long time.

This year will definitely be a bumper harvest year, and the eaten part of the divine grass will continue to grow. The nomads will give full play to their grazing characteristics. After a month or two, the divine grass can be used by cattle and sheep again.

In winter, the god grass that has not been eaten can be harvested and stored to feed winter livestock. Starting this year, more horses, calves, and lambs can be kept.In a few years, these livestock will grow up, and they can eat more meat!

"Li Ang, how are the yields of your cows and sheep recently?" Kaxi also looked happy. He was so happy for the first time since he was born. Dairy products have been piled up at home.

I used to save money for two meals a day, but now if I have free time, I can add an extra meal in the afternoon, and the children in the family grow up and become stronger visibly.

"Happy!" Li Ang was also riding on the horse with a joyful expression on his face. He seemed to be pregnant with his second woman in the past few days, and the sufficient food made Li Ang know that this child would definitely be able to raise him.

But Kaxi still has one more thing that she promised herself but hasn't finished yet: "My lamb is ready, and your son of a bitch must leave one for me after weaning."

Sufficient food made Li Ang feel that he should also expand the size of his entire family. In a few days, he planned to exchange his cattle and sheep for one or two slaves from the Western Regions or Donghu.

It's a pity that these slaves are not as hardworking and obedient as the Zhuxia people. Thinking of this, Li Ang suddenly slapped himself, then got off his horse and bowed in the direction of Jiuyuan City to the east.

Young Master Fusu has brought him such a wonderful life, but he still thinks about these messy things. If the Young Master's divine power detects him and deprives him of everything, then he will definitely be worse off than dead.

Seeing Li Ang's sudden series of movements, Kaxi asked doubtfully, "Li Ang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ang shook his head, he didn't dare to say this, got on his horse after kneeling and worshiped, and said: "The gods bestowed the holy grass on the young master, and the young master rewarded us with the divine grass. Every time I think of this, my heart is full of gratitude, and I turn to the young master's direction. bow down."

Hearing Li Ang's words, Kaxi touched his chest and saluted in the direction of Jiuyuan City in the east: "Thank you to the gods, and thank you son Fusu for your gift."

Young Master Fusu has shown his divine power to them more than once. Compared with Touman Chanyu, who was famous but not real, the Xiongnu herdsmen believe more and more that Young Master Fusu is the queen of the gods.

As for the original Chanyu and the witch doctors, they were just borrowing the name of the gods. It is said that the witch doctors of all tribes are now also loyal to the son Fusu.

And in the Goat King's camp, the Goat King and his tribesmen didn't have the same idea: "Thank you?"

Young Master Fusu has completely defeated the possibility of himself becoming Shan Yu, and now all the chiefs and herdsmen in Jiuyuan County think that Young Master Fusu is the queen of the gods.

Except for the son Fusu or the rulers who are related to Fusu, they don't believe it now, and the dream of the goat king has been completely shattered.

Moreover, the fragile tripartite alliance led by him completely disintegrated after King Zhutu became loyal to his son Fusu.

Even if the divine grass bestowed by the young master Fusu really made the goat tribe stronger, the other tribes also became stronger, and every time it came back, it meant that the goat king and them had returned to the same starting line.

Moreover, Wang Meng, the brother-in-law of Young Master Fusu, has been looking at him in the wrong way lately. The devouring gaze from that handsome face always makes the Goat King feel like he is being targeted by a fierce tiger.

There is also that Wangzhi who serves the young master Fusu, in his handsome face, those eyes look at him with a vicious feeling.
