Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune

Su Muyao squatted on the ground and started digging. After Su Sanlang came down from the tree, he saw a little man not far away, squatting on the ground and digging holes.

The aho hair on its head moves a little bit, which is very cute\(//?//)\.

"My dear, what are you doing?"

"Dad, come and help me dig this out."

The third son Su didn't know what it was. Seeing that his daughter liked it, he just dug it out for her.

"Hey, Dad, be gentle, don't damage his roots, you have to dig to the side."

“good good”

Nearly half a quarter of an hour later, the two finally dug out the ginseng.

Su Sanlang was still thinking about digging some wild vegetables to bring back, but his little girl insisted on digging these inedible weeds herself.

There was no way to wait for the two to return home, and the family watched them come back with a cup of unfamiliar weed.

They just thought she was their good baby and no one cared if she wanted to play.

Su Mengyao wanted to give her family a surprise, so she started to prepare and dry the herbs.

I learned all these on the Internet before coming here.

"My dear, are you tired? You should take a nap."

Old Mrs. Su wiped Su Muyao's forehead and said, "You're almost like a little kitten."

The little boy smiled brightly at his grandmother, washed his hands and face, and skipped back to his room.

I have developed the habit of taking a nap since I came here.

Su Muyao tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep. The house was large, with mud walls, a dirt floor, and a thatched roof that was leaking air on all sides. Alas.

Before, I couldn’t even say anything to change the status quo, but now it’s different.

I thought about selling medicinal herbs, and then saved up some money to send my brothers to school.

Then start a business, earn money and build a new house.

Just when Su Muyao was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly awakened by shouting outside.

There was a loud sound of gongs outside. After rubbing my eyes and going out, I saw someone coming to look for Old Man Su to attend a meeting.

"Village Chief Su asked each family to send one person to attend the meeting"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Old man Su walked out while pulling up his heels.

But just as I reached the door, I was stopped by a soft voice.

"Grandpa, I want to go too."

It is said that when the old man saw his granddaughter had woken up, he quickly picked her up and walked out.

"Be good, dear. Your village chief uncle will have a meeting later. You just stay in my arms and don't run around. Do you understand?"

Su Muyao nodded quickly, but she thought to herself, I'm not a real little kid, how can I run around? Besides, I've always been very well behaved, okay?

...

When the village chief saw that most people had arrived, he began to talk about the main issues of the meeting.

"My fellow villagers, I just came back from town, and now I have two important things to announce to you."

People below were talking about it, and everyone was wondering what would be announced this time.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I have told you that the village government has announced that the tax will be increased by 20% this year, and that any man in a family who fails to pay the tax will be arrested and sentenced to labor service."

As soon as this news came out, the people below immediately cried out in grief.

There was a drought three years ago and the river had dried up long ago. That year we barely survived by eating tree bark and weeds.

It was only last year that things started to improve a little, with some grain still visible in the fields, but now they are suddenly saying that the prices will increase by another 20%.

Isn't this just letting them starve to death? An acre of land can't produce much grain to begin with, and now the court is still doing this.

"This damn dog emperor won't let us live."

A man below covered his mouth after he finished cursing.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a commoner like you discuss royal affairs?"

The village chief was really angry. If someone outside heard this, he would be beheaded!

"Everyone, listen to me. Our emperor also loves his people. As the picture above says, if they can't pay, the 20% will be arrested and forced to serve as slaves. But they can have enough food to eat, which is the only thing they are thankful for."

"There is a war on the border now. If you don't go to Fuyaoyi and I don't go to Fuyaoyi and no one goes, then who will fight the Hu people?"

Everyone listened to the village chief's words and found that it was true. Those who were serving labor service were different from others and had to go to the battlefield to fight.

But it is precisely because they have to go to war that they don’t want their husbands and sons to go!

Su Mengyao was in Old Man Su's arms, listening quietly.

Yes, if no one wants to go, what can we do if someone calls?

Then, the village chief announced something that made them even more disheartened.

"There is one more thing you all need to know, that is, the price of food in the city is gradually rising."

"So my opinion to the team leaders is that those of you who have money should try to exchange it for food, to avoid being left with nothing to eat after the food is harvested and handed in."

Due to the severe drought three years ago, most of the money in every household has been used up, and now all they have is the one or half tael of money they saved this year.

"Okay, let's just forget about these two things and go home to discuss them."

The crowd gradually left.

Old man Su came back sighing, holding his granddaughter.

"What's going on, old man?"

"Alas, I am afraid that this year will be difficult for me. The court requires a 20% increase in tax revenue this year."

"What the hell, a 20% increase? The government is not giving us ordinary people a way to survive."

"Hush, keep your voice down"

"What can we do? The crops on the land may not even be enough to pay the tax. They are so poorly grown."

Su Mengyao's eyes widened. No way, did she hear it wrong? Isn't the 20% harvested based on how much crops grow?

Obviously it's not as simple as I thought.

Su Mengyao saw that the old couple were worried and didn't want to cause them trouble.

He ran out to the yard alone and fiddled with the herbs.
