Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"I see." After Jiang Xue understood why her family did not have to pay taxes, the doubts in her heart dissipated.

She thought for a moment, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "I won't go to Taohua Village tomorrow, you go."

Jiang Feng nodded and answered readily: “Okay, I’ll go.

"Brother!" "What's wrong?" Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Xue curiously. Jiang Xue frowned, as if thinking about something important.

“How do these farmers who don’t grow crops pay taxes?” she said with a hint of worry in her voice.

She knew that four of the surrounding villages grew fruit, and these fruit farmers certainly did not have enough money to pay the taxes.

Jiang Feng fell into deep thought. After a moment, he began to patiently explain to his sister based on what he had learned: "In the taxation system of the Daxuan Dynasty, the scope of land tax collection is not limited to cultivated land. For those farmers who grow fruits, although they do not grow grain, their orchards, fish ponds, etc. are also included in the scope of taxation. These farmers need to pay the corresponding agricultural tax based on the scale of their operations."

After listening to her brother's explanation, Jiang Xue nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, she raised her head and said firmly, "I understand. Let our family pay the tax on these fruits!"

"Third sister?" Jiang Feng looked at her in surprise, "This is not a small amount of money..."

Jiang Xue shook her head slightly, and said firmly: "Brother, this matter is settled."

Jiang Feng looked at his sister's firm and kind eyes, and couldn't help feeling touched.

He knew that his sister was always kind and helpful.

This time, she stepped forward without hesitation and wanted to help those fruit farmers in need.

"Okay, Third Sister." Jiang Feng smiled and nodded, "Since you have decided, let's do it. However, we also need to find a way to enable these fruit farmers to develop better in the future and no longer face such difficulties."

Jiangjia Village Jiang's House

"Mom, tomorrow is Sanniu's birthday." Jiang Wang raised her head while busying herself and said to Jiang Chen who was sorting beans.

Jiang Chen stopped what she was doing and nodded, "Yes, before I knew it, the little ancestor is already fourteen years old. Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye she will become a big girl."

Jiang Wang sighed and continued, "Yes, it's time for her to get married at the age of fourteen. We have to start looking for a good family for her."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Yes, this matter must be handled properly. Sanniu is our family's treasure, and her marriage cannot be careless. We have to find a family with equal status and good character."

"Let's arrange the marriage first, and wait until Sanniu reaches the age of marriage," Jiang Chen continued.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard Jiang Xue calling me for help in the yard. I was completely stunned. Wasn't the original owner's body only thirteen years old?

"Introduce me a marriage?" Jiang Xue frowned when she heard the news and walked in with some displeasure.

When Jiang Wang saw Jiang Xue coming, she stood up and tried to explain: "Yes, Sanniu, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about marriage."

Jiang Xue shook her head firmly: "I don't want it."

Jiang Wang looked at Jiang Chen helplessly, and both of them showed their concern for Jiang Xue in their eyes.

Jiang Xue continued to refute: "My eldest brother hasn't even gotten married yet, and there's also my second brother, so why is it my turn now?"

Jiang Chen was reminded by Jiang Xue's words and was stunned. She had indeed neglected this point.

She was too busy during this period and did not consider the marriages of other children in the family.

She patted her head and said with some self-blame: "You are right, I was indeed negligent. However, Sanniu, the situation of your eldest brother and second brother is different from yours, they..."

Jiang Xue interrupted Jiang Chen and said firmly, "I know the situation of my eldest and second brothers, but I don't want to get engaged so early. I want to wait a few more years, at least until my eldest and second brothers have started families, before I can consider my own affairs."

Jiang Wang and Jiang Chen looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Jiang Wang sighed and said, "Okay, Sanniu, we know what you're thinking. We will respect your choice, but you also have to understand that a girl's marriage cannot be delayed too long. We will keep an eye out for suitable candidates for you, but the final decision is still yours."

"Oh, grandma and mom, don't be anxious! Hasn't that boy Jiang Chen been looking forward to marrying our third sister?" Jiang Feng joked with a grin, seeming to care nothing about the family's marriage arrangements.

When Jiang Wang heard Jiang Feng mention Jiang Chen, she quickly asked, "By the way, is there any news about Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Xue shook her head gently and replied, "No, there has been no news so far."

Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh, turned to look at Jiang Feng, and said earnestly: "You little brat, you only know how to say sarcastic words. Feng'er, I will go find the matchmaker tomorrow morning and ask her to find a good girl that suits you and Diao'er."

Jiang Feng was speechless when he heard this.

He never expected that the topic would turn to him so abruptly.

He scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.

Jiang Xue, however, was gloating and said with a loud laugh, "Hmph, I told you not to gossip, now you're getting your comeuppance!" She laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and did not forget to continue teasing Jiang Feng.

Jiang Xue seemed not to notice Jiang Feng's dissatisfaction, and continued: "Brother likes to go to Jiang's cloth shop recently."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel curious when she heard this. She turned around and asked Jiang Xue, "Jiang's Cloth Shop? What is he doing there?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I don't know either, but every time my brother came back from there, he always had a smile on his face and a few pieces of cloth in his hands. I guess he might have gone to choose cloth to make new clothes."

After hearing this, Jiang Wang also smiled: "That's a good thing. Boys are getting older, so it's time for them to pay attention to their clothes and appearance. Maybe he has taken a fancy to a girl in the Jiang family and wants to please her."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng hurriedly interrupted them: "Don't talk nonsense, I went to Jiang's Cloth Shop just to choose some fabrics, I didn't mean anything else." His face flushed slightly, obviously feeling a little embarrassed by what they said.

"It was Xier who told me about this. Big brother likes Jiang Wanrou. I was very surprised at the time." Jiang Xue continued with a mischievous smile in her words.

After hearing this, Jiang Wangshi showed a delighted expression on her face: "Oh, Rou'er is such a good girl! She is not only beautiful, but also gentle, well-educated and well-mannered. She is indeed a rare good girl."

Jiang Feng's face flushed when he heard this. He didn't expect that his family would know his thoughts so quickly.

He coughed awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Well... let's prepare for Third Sister's birthday first, and talk about other things later."

Jiang Xue and Jiang Wangshi couldn't help laughing when they saw Jiang Feng's appearance.

They knew Jiang Feng was a shy person and they didn't have the heart to make fun of him anymore.
