Exile Transformation [Farming]

"Fifth, what is Dad up to lately? It's weird."

Shen Yu shrugged, "It's nothing more than opening the door to the new century, what's the fuss about!" After finishing speaking, he left.

The fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival is the tax day. Generally, the crops have been harvested for about a month at this time, and there is no situation where the crops are still in the field and cannot be taxed!

In fact, the tax collection started after the Mid-Autumn Festival, not on the fifth day, but only those few people in the entire county government office. After collecting other villages, it was the fifth day when they arrived in Shen Village. It was the same every year, either in the morning or in the afternoon. .

If it is early in the morning, the copper basin in the center of the village is ringing, it will be morning, if it is afternoon, it will be ringing in the afternoon.

Early in the morning, the copper basin in the center of the village was rang.

Under normal circumstances, the copper plate in the center of the village is seldom ringed, and the ringing usually occurs when there are major events, such as tax collection or labor service or military service.

Generally, five days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you hear the sound of copper basins, it is usually a tax collection.

The Shen family is also lively, and it starts to be busy early in the morning.

The Shen family has quite a lot of land, nearly 38 mu, of which [-] mu is wasteland, and there is no need to pay taxes. What we really need to talk about is the [-] mu of land.

The taxation of this dynasty is not very harsh, and it is not calculated according to their previous ancient taxes, but how much is paid per mu for the upper field?How much does Nakata pay?How much does Shimoda pay?

Here, the upper field pays two buckets per mu, the middle field pays one bucket and five liters per mu, and the lower field pays one bucket per mu!There is still some particularity in this, the two buckets of Ueda must be white rice or white flour, and Shimoda and Zhongtian will not just settle for this.

In addition, this time there are also adult tax and household tax.

The population tax is divided into two categories, one is for half-aged children from three to 12 years old, five coins for boys and three coins for girls!There is also a category of adults between the ages of 3 and 12. Regardless of whether they are male or female, they are all fifty-fifty. Those over 68 do not have to pay a person tax.

There are also many types of household tax, such as farmers, merchants, and military households.No matter what kind of households are divided into male households and female households, it is whether the head of the household is male or female. Male households pay 120 Wen per year, while female households pay 100 Wen.

It means that in addition to paying the land tax, the Shen family also has to pay the household tax and household tax.

Shen Yu is holding a carbon bar and counting, how much tax do they have to pay?Field tax, eight acres of land, two dou per mu, a total of 16 dou; middle field of 10 mu, one dou and five liters per mu, a total of 15 dou; lower field of 18 mu, one dou per mu, 18 dou!

There is also a personal tax. Seven children under the age of 12, one under the age of three, have to pay 26 renminbi, and adults who are 13 and 50 renminbi each have to pay 650 renminbi.

Including the household tax, you have to pay a total of 770 Wen!

It doesn’t seem like much, but sometimes if you are unlucky, the Shen family brothers can only earn so much in a month when they go out, and they have to be drafted, one person per household, so you don’t have to go, 2 taels of silver per person, if you meet military service, If you have money, give money, 15 taels per person, the same price!

Shen Yu deeply felt that old man Shen and his wife were capable. When old man Shen left, Mrs. Shen divided four acres of middle field. Leading the whole family to reclaim wasteland, opened up five acres and went to the field. In 20 years, not only earned such a large family business, but also married several sons and daughters-in-law, and raised so many grandchildren, without ever dying!

It's amazing.

Old man Shen didn't know that his youngest son admired him there, and he was still talking to Mrs. Shen there, "After paying the food, we can eat a few meals of white rice. This year, at last, we don't have to sell rice. The 20 For many years, your mothers haven't lived a good life. They have been searching to save and buy land, and to marry a few older wives. They didn't even buy a piece of decent cloth. When the grain is paid, you Go buy a few bolts of fabric and make new clothes, especially those small ones, look at that little Yunyun from your family, how colorful they look so pretty!"

"That's great, I'm growing up too, so it's time to make two beautiful clothes." Mrs. Shen turned her head to look at Chen Yu, "I'll make you two clothes when the time comes, and you haven't even worn a pair of belts when you're so big. Clothes of color!"

"Then I would like to thank my mother!"

"Silly girl, what are you talking about with your mother?" Mrs. Shen always felt indebted to Chen Yu, and she only got 500 copper coins and a cabinet when she got married, not even a piece of cloth.When other girls get married, the natal family will basically marry a bed, plus a set of bedding, or a quilt or mattress.

Old man Shen said, "I think Liu Erlang is a man of success. If you follow him, you won't suffer much. If you follow him, you will live a good life. No matter how rich you are, you will have no worries about food and clothing."

"I know, Erlang is very good to me!" Chen Yu said to Liu Erlang, a shy blush appeared on his face.

"Father, the food has been weighed. Shall we go now?"

"Okay, let's go now." Old man Shen stood up, walked over the grain pile, and began to order his sons to do things, "Boss, you pick the rice over."

"Third, you pick wheat."

"Third, you pick corn!"

"Fourth, you pick soybeans."

"Fifth, you..."

Old man Shen thought for a long time but couldn't think of what Shen Yu could do?I can only say that you go with it!

The Shen family lived near the outside of the village. When they arrived, the people in the village basically carried food to the place, and they could only stand near the periphery and wait.

Coincidentally, Mu Jing should have just arrived, not far from them.

As soon as he saw Mu Jing, old man Shen felt uncomfortable, he always felt that Mu Jing was playing tricks on his little daughter.

"Mujing, are you here to pay taxes? Didn't you not farm the land?"

Mu Jing didn't care about Old Man Shen's black face, when he saw Shen Yu smiling at him, he also smiled and walked straight towards Shen Yu, "I don't farm land, and I still have to pay household tax and population tax!"

Shen Yu saw that he thought there was something weird about Mu Jing today, why was he smiling all the time?Afraid he might make a mistake, he rubbed his eyes. After a careful look, he was indeed smiling.

"What happy things have happened to you recently?"

Mu Jing shook his head, "No! What's wrong?"

This is strange, "What are you doing so bright without you smiling? Look at the villagers and you feel so strange."

Mu Jing's face turned dark when he heard it, but he looked serious, as if a person who hadn't noticed anything didn't know what to say.

He looked at Shen Yu, and was about to say something, but Shen Yu had already turned his head to look at the center of the village.

In other words, this is the first time for Shen Yu to experience paying taxes. In their era, when he was very young, the rural agricultural tax was exempted over there, and he had never seen it before.Looking at it at this time, it is inevitable to feel novel.

Village Chief Shen stood in the center of the village, surrounded by an empty circle. Uncle Shen stood in the middle, with a table and a few stools beside him, and two middle-aged men in maroon soap official uniforms sat on one side, with Followed by two young policemen in their 20s, there was a big box next to them.

Shen Yu

Village head Shen didn't know what he said to the grain requisition officer?Then I saw the food requisition officer nodded.

After receiving the news, Village Chief Shen took out a notebook, and then began to speak, "Today's grain collection is still the old rule, two buckets of grain for the upper field, one bucket for five liters for the middle field, and one bucket for the lower field."

"Whoever I read the name later will come up and weigh the food. Now I will start to read the name."

At first it was a bit noisy down below, but when Uncle Shen started to speak, the place immediately became quiet, waiting for Village Chief Shen's roll call.

"Shen Dafu, two acres of land, four acres of middle field, two acres of land, and a total of grain..."

The people in the village are very familiar with this process, and they move very fast. The policemen don't do anything like the ones on TV. Instead, the villagers measure the grain with a measuring device, and then pour it into the sacks they prepared , The villagers measured it themselves, and the arrester kept the sack steady, and cooperated very quickly.

one household...

two households...

Mitohe...

……

Shen Yu and the others approached the middle, and after about an hour, Uncle Shen finally read Old Man Shen's name.

"Shen He, eight acres of land, ten acres of middle field, eighteen acres of downfield, two acres of barren land, grain should be paid..."

Speaking of which, the Shen family is considered a major taxpayer in this village, paying four to five shi of grain every year. It is the second largest taxpayer in this village. The first is Shen Fengshu's family in the center of the village. Five acres of land were passed down to the four generations, and they were not distributed. It was originally 25 acres, but they were sold one after another. Shen Yu and the others bought two acres from them.It's still a bit strange to say that every generation of their family can read, but they can only have a child. Except for the first scholar, there is no more scholar.

After the land tax is the household tax and poll tax, another person is in charge. He took out a book and handed it to Village Chief Shen, asking him to read it according to it.

Uncle Shen has long been familiar with these procedures, and took the notebook, "Now it's poll tax and household tax, I'll read them one by one, let's talk about the ugly first, and bring enough money by myself, so as not to wait for disputes and delay the poor man." time."

"Shen Jiang, you, Carpenter Tan, and Shen Dagui, you three count quickly, come up and help count."

"Shen Dashan..."

This busy work was not finished until the afternoon, and the women watching the fun had already gone back to cook. At this time, everyone was a little hungry, so Uncle Shen asked everyone to go back to eat.

"Okay, let's go back now! The one who is in charge after dinner will draw lots."

In fact, paying the tax is not enough, and 30 people have to be left behind to follow the tax collector to carry the grain to the county government. It used to be a turn, but now it is a lottery, to prevent people from colluding with bandits and doing anything in the team.This was the case in the past. The villager who delivered the food had a little friendship with a bandit. He accidentally leaked the word.The team that transported the grain suffered heavy losses, not to mention the loss of the grain, so a catcher fled back to the county government. Later, the county magistrate found out that the incident was related to the villager, so he re-levied the land tax in that village.That year, the village was really miserable. Not to mention the loss of thirty strong laborers, the land tax was increased by a generation.

Since then, the higher-ups have issued an order that if something like this happens again in any place, the tax in that place will increase by [-]% for three consecutive years, which can be regarded as a very serious situation.

Uncle Shen invited a few servants to eat at home, and then he left.

Shen Yu was about to leave, so he heard Mu Jing say, "Brother Yu, do you have time? I have something to tell you!"

The author has something to say: Finally, there is a trend of emotional development. . . . . . .
