After being reborn, he was favored by the god of war husband [Farming]

In the past two days, people in the village have been panicking because of the tax collection!

From the day when officials called the door everywhere, some people in the village have closed their doors and closed their houses. It is rare to see them outside the village. Presumably the whole family has gone somewhere to hide?

This is the case every year, especially this year when the tax is so heavy that in just a few days, the number of adult men in the village seems to be reduced by half.

This unavoidable man-made disaster, after a set of taxes, often kills half of the people!

Su Jiu was worried about the situation of the Su family, so she took the time to go back to her mother's house with Wei Chen, saved some money for emergency, and took a cart full of food that the family couldn't finish.

"Hey, you kids, why are you being so polite? Chewa is studying in the town, and you often have to send some money to spend it. Now he doesn't ask me for living expenses, saying that it's enough from my elder brother. "

Bai Shuang laughed: "The boy is studying hard now, and he said that he will repay you well by being a high-ranking official in the future."

Su Jiu also nodded with a smile: "Then let him study hard, and the eldest brother will wait for him to enjoy the blessing."

Bai Shuang was happy that day, and made a big table of dishes to reward the couple. Su Jiu was not idle, and made her special spicy dishes, and let Aunt Shuang try something new.

Stayed here for two days before going home.

Su Jiu didn't do any stall business for the time being, seeing that it was October, the fish and shrimps in the river had bottomed out, it was unusually easy to fish, and it was much more expensive to eat at this time.

This is not a long-term solution. In addition, he has already sold the lobster dish to Chang'an Restaurant, which is equivalent to selling the chili recipe. He will trade 500 taels of silver in batches. Qian Mao is not stupid, he mainly wants to get Chili recipe.

But Su Jiu kept an eye out, the lobster dish was a buyout, that is to say, Su Jiu could no longer sell the lobster dish craftsmanship to others through commercial means in the future.

Chili is different. This is not Su Jiu's patent. Even if you don't do the lobster business, you can still cook a series of derivative spicy dishes such as hot pot, skewer pot, and maocai.

In the same way, Qian Mao can also use the chili recipe to develop other dishes.

Shuchuan is hot and humid, and spicy food can dehumidify and dehumidify. The market for this spicy food is almost blank now. For Qian Mao, the commercial value of it is immeasurable, so in the long run, 500 taels of silver is not too much, the premise is If he can get a lot of chili raw material.

It stands to reason that if Su Jiu hides the peppers well, he should be able to make a steady profit when he opens a restaurant in the future, but opening a restaurant requires a lot of cost, and the cycle is very long.

Now that I have a sum of money in my hands for emergency, I can look at a few shops and choose slowly when I make another few final payments from Chang'an Restaurant.

Su Jiu has been free for the past few days, but Wei Chen has become busy. Since he had dinner with Qi Ji and the others that night, he didn't know what they were discussing afterwards. He went to the city every day and came back very late at night, so that Su Jiu Jiu tried to get someone to dig the ground at home but couldn't find anyone.

Su Jiu planned to plant the chili seeds that had been dried a few days ago, so she took a small hoe and dug a small field every day.

While working, Li Xiaobei came to him crying: "Sister-in-law, help—"

When Su Jiu and Li Xiaobei rushed to the village chief's house in a hurry, there was a large group of officials standing outside, coming to arrest people.

He said that he couldn't pay the military tax, so he could only pay it with his son.

The Li family is also unlucky. The four sons in the family are all married, and there are sons below. It stands to reason that such a big family should have been separated long ago, but they, the Li family, are single-minded and live together. For so many years, the daughter-in-law, son-in-law and grandchildren have been in harmony as before, and there has never been any trouble.

This is considered a model family in Murakami, and of course Li Chongzhi's family is well-equipped.

This was originally a good thing, but at this bad time of the year, the imperial court has strict military conscription, and now it is a bit embarrassing to pay everyone's military tax all at once.

So much so that it has been procrastinating for a few days, and today the officials came to the door to issue an ultimatum.

"How many more heads are there?" Su Jiu asked Li Chong.

"Small the pot and sell the iron, if you pay all six people, there are four left..." Li Chong gritted his teeth and said, he was still calm, but his sons were shocked.

People who are over 13 years old are considered adults. In previous years, the 240 ren per head was at least tripled this year. The difference between six heads is only more than 4000. , Li Chong is a bad guy, and the villagers in the village occasionally need to deal with emergencies, even if they are short of ten dollars, he will make up for it, a little here and a little there, and in the end, his own head Can't get it all together!

Su Jiu said: "Four heads are missing, a total of [-] yuan, I will make up for it, wait, I will go back and get the silver!"

Su Jiu's action relieved the urgent need of the Li family, and Li Chong almost kowtowed to him to thank him, and said, "Brother Jiu, I will definitely repay the money as soon as possible!"

Su Jiu waved his hands: "Don't worry, everyone has a problem, besides, you have helped me and Wei Chen a lot these days, and I will trouble Uncle Li, Brother Dalang, Brother Erlang, Brother Sanlang, and Shiro in the future." Brother, take care of Brother Bei."

"It's natural!"

That day when word of Su Jiu's support for the village chief's family reached the ears of the Wei family, the old lady Wei became furious!

Su Jiu and Wei Chen are obviously rich, but they would rather help outsiders than their own family. It's really disgusting. This year, the Wei family has also been arrested a lot of people. Both the Li family and the Wei family are big families in the village. , with a large population and a large number of fields, when I go out and ask, almost all of them are relatives.

But the Wei family didn't do many practical things in these years, but there were a lot of bastards and oolongs, and there were countless divisions and offshoots.

To say that the family background of the Wei family is not as good as that of the Li family, once this incident happened, they were rushing around to sell land and land. Now it seems that the son of Wei Chen who separated from the family has some skills. It's just that he was a white-eyed wolf, and even Wei didn't even have a surname after the family was separated!

After all, I still have some regrets. If the young couple hadn't been separated at that time, they might be able to help out in the current situation.

It is unavoidable that Wei Changde and the old lady Wei will be said a few words by the head of the Wei family. They don't know people clearly, and they didn't leave a capable younger generation to serve their ancestors. Miserable.

When Wei Changde came down, he had to vent his anger on the old lady Wei. It was the woman who added fuel and jealousy to say bad things, which made him think that the eldest son was useless, so he let the old lady Wei's usual troubles and meanness. Otherwise, it would not be the situation today.

Now, their family has become the laughing stock of the village. The son raised by the family does not help the family to help the family. The bitter fruit of their own food is only swallowed by themselves.

In addition to this, there is another new thing in the village.

It is said that there is an unspeakable secret between Wei Chen and the mute girl in the village.

This matter started from the rumors spread by the Zhen family, that the Zhen family envoy's daughter borrowed money from Wei Chen, and then kept asking about Wei Chen's movements.

She spent all of the ten taels of silver on dressing up her daughter. She only thought that the dumb girl could show off her beauty in front of Wei Chen and walk into Wei Chen's heart in one fell swoop. If you don't see people, you can't touch them at all.

These few days, Wei Chen has been busy with the pier of the county town. He bought a piece of land here with Su Jiu’s money. Recently, the war in the northern border and the economic downturn have caused almost all the goods from the south to the north to be sold to the south. Yong’an County docks make frequent deliveries.

Someone liked the land he bought and offered a lot of money, but Wei Chen didn't intend to sell it. For one thing, he did plan to set up a group of bodyguards to transport the land. He bought the land for his own use, or what business Su Jiu wanted to do in the future. Can be developed into a shop.

But it just so happened that Qi Ji was among the people who came to buy this piece of land.

On the night of the treat, the two of them drank a little more wine, and somehow they came up with this topic. In fact, Qi Ji also planned to come here. He had inquired about the buyer of the land in advance. He wanted to buy it back at a high price, but when he found out that it was Wei Chen, he became interested and wanted to hear more about the reason why he bought the land.

Qi Ji never gave up his idea of ​​recruiting Wei Chen, but later changed his mind, and it was on this night.

The Qi family is a family of the Jianghu, more or less the free and easy and righteous people of the Jianghu, he loves to make friends with the people of the Jianghu, that's why he left a group of outstanding people to form the Green Gang.

But to maintain such a large gang, people, money and property are indispensable. Not to mention that he had foresight before and got involved in a lot of business dealings. Almost all the food from Shuzhou City to Yong'an County and its dozens of villages and towns depended on the Green Gang. water transport.

Yong'an County is also a concentration camp for the Qing Gang, and that piece of land is very important to him!

Wei Chen and his thoughts coincided with each other, they both fell in love with this piece of fat, and planned to set up a professional bodyguard agency.

The days of rebirth were the most peaceful and comfortable days Wei Chen had ever lived. He would hang out with his brother every day, go hunting in the mountains when he wanted to exercise his muscles and bones, and the boy was living in style. He regarded this period of time as a rest from the hard work of his previous life.

But Wei Chen is not a person who has no plans. He bought this piece of land earlier and was thinking about the next thing.

Wei Chen and Song Jiang drank wine, and Song Jiang is an innate acquaintance, they can play together, eat and drink.

I had a drink with the village chief, but most of them were dictating the village chief's teachings, or chatting about other things in the village.

But it was different from when Qi Ji was drinking, the two of them had the same thoughts, and had a very happy conversation. There were many things that were unreasonable to others, but when Qi Ji came here, the two of them had many mature ideas and suggestions for the same goal.

Xu Shi both drank more wine, the two were not so defensive, they both confessed to each other and discussed a lot.

It's funny to say, but after sobering up, both of them regretted it a little. It's like they accidentally revealed a business secret, and they were afraid of being caught by the other party.

But then Wei Chen and Qi Ji met up a few more times. With the past, there was nothing to hide, so they all opened up the skylight and spoke honestly. They never thought that they would actually work out a cooperation plan in a sober state!

Qi Ji has capital, connections, and sources of goods, and Wei Chen has land, ability, and foresight. The two of them cooperate to get twice the result with half the effort!

Wei Chen has been busy with this for the past few days, and he will return at night. The donkey cart has also been replaced by a large carriage, and the speed of running back and forth is several times faster than that of the donkey cart.

Many people in the village knew that he had bought a carriage, and occasionally he could hitch a ride when he was going to a market. Wei Chen didn't think it was a big deal. The exclusive throne is put away so that no one will get dust on it.

On this day, I happened to meet Zhen's mother and daughter going to the market and wanted to take a ride.

It has to be said that Mrs. Zhen really has means, and she has met all of this, so it's hard for her to stand here with her daughter and wait for half a day.
