The Princess of Northern Land

"Why did you bring it out?" Ms. Zhang was shocked.

"If you do too much, you will be brought out." Lin Ziyin said.

"Give it to the child. We'll be home soon." Ms. Zhang declined.

"We're full." Changting said, patting his belly.

"Full." Yan Zhi also made a noise.

"What happened?" Seeing Li Zheng's expression of worry and depression, the old man sat next to him and said a few words of concern.

"This year's taxes have to be paid again." Li Zheng sighed. "Uncle also knows the situation in the village. Every family only has a little land and only grows beans. How can there be extra money to hand over?"

"What kind of taxes do I have to pay before the autumn harvest season?" Lin Ziyin asked curiously.

"The money for building the city wall." Li Zheng replied, "Although the amount is not much, you have also seen the situation in the village."

After saying that, Li Zheng let out a heavy sigh.

"The head of the family went to the government office and tried to fight for it, but the people in the government office didn't care at all." Ms. Zhang's face was also ugly.

The old man sighed after hearing this, but no, this time in previous years was the saddest.

"What if there is no money to hand over?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"Then use human power instead." The old man replied.

Lin Ziyin did not continue to ask after hearing this. He went to the border to build military facilities. Without modern equipment, he knew that it would be a hard job without thinking.

Fortunately, the Lin family has accumulated some money this year, so they don't have to worry about taxes.

Due to the heavy topic, the adults on the carriage were all a little depressed. The two children also felt the gloomy atmosphere. They sat obediently beside Lin Ziyin and kept silent.

Back in the village, as soon as Li Zheng conveyed the news that the government office was going to collect taxes, as expected, the villagers in the village began to sigh, especially those with strong labor force in the family.

The Lin family was not affected, so everyone did what they should do.

"Brother, we don't have many beans at home. Can you and Brother Dayou buy some more from the village?" Lin Ziyin asked, looking at the beans saved at home.

"I'm just thinking about it." Lin Changshu put down the bowl in his hand and said.

"If you have peanuts and sesame seeds, you can buy them all," Lin Ziyin said.

"Why did you buy those?" Zi Ge asked.

"Peanuts and sesame can also be used to extract oil." Lin Ziyin said.

"I'll go to the village to ask later." Lin Changshu replied.

After eating, Lin Changshu walked outside. After a while, many villagers gathered around Lin's house.

"Changshu, are you really willing to buy soybeans at the market price?" An elder asked Lin Changshu as soon as he saw him.

The other villagers also looked at Lin Changshu with hopeful faces.

"Yes, we want as many as we can." Lin Changshu replied.

Anyway, his family has a lot of houses, so no matter how many beans he buys, there will be somewhere to store them, so he doesn't worry.

"However, I will say something ugly beforehand. We don't want anything that is moldy." Lin Changshu explained solemnly.

"That's natural. We are all from the same village. How can we harm you." Someone echoed.

"Can we send it over now?" Someone asked, fearing that the Lin family would regret it.

"Okay." Lin Changshu nodded.

So the villagers dispersed happily.

After a while, many people brought beans, sesame seeds and peanuts.

Lin Ziyin was afraid that Lin Changshu would lose face, so she took charge personally. She inspected everything sent by everyone very strictly.

Seeing how serious she was, several families who were trying to fish in troubled waters quickly went back with their beans.

"Zi Yin, you are so powerful, you can tell the number with just one mouth." Someone complimented her with a smile.

Lin Ziyin smiled lightly and replied, "You will get it naturally if you practice more."

The person who spoke had a stern expression on his face. How could they stand a chance? Not every family has as good a chance to develop as the Lin family.
