Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 525 Farming

"Exempted, exempted for one year." Man Bao said: "At that time, there were some people in our county who did not want to file a letter for tax exemption. sad."

The farmer patted his thigh and said: "Oh, you are so lucky. You have met a good man. Our county is not tax-free. Last year, there were two new donations. It is said that the floods destroyed the roads and water conservancy. You have to pay for it." If we spend money to rest, all the money and food we spend will be allocated to us, otherwise my family wouldn’t be able to afford those two bags of grain.”

Man Bao is no longer a child of six or seven years old. She now knows more things and thinks more. Although she still firmly remembers the increase of the entrance fee by the county magistrate Fu, she also thinks about what her husband said .

When evaluating a person, you can't just remember one thing he did, you have to list what he should do, and then list what he did, so that you can know how that person is.

County Magistrate Fu has been in Luojiang County for many years, but he has only been to Qili Village twice, and Nong Sang, who advises Keke, never goes to Qili Village;

In six years, he only added one donation;

Every year, labor labor is sent to repair water conservancy and roads, and the county government has also been repaired;

Charge the gate fee;

wrote to them to exempt them from taxation;

In summary, there are only a few things, but because of his mother, Man Bao likes Taoism very much. He has also studied in Laozhuang for the past two years, and slowly knows that sometimes, not doing it is a kind of rightness.

Of course, she prefers the current magistrate Yang.

Because every year, Quan Ke Nongsang would come to Qili Village, not only Qili Village, but all the villages in Luojiang County;

Almost every year, he will take part of the money from the county government to buy grain seeds, farm tools or cattle and distribute them to each household or mile to help the poor and the weak;

If each family adds children or property, Lizheng will be more attentive than before. Sometimes, instead of the villagers looking for it, Lizheng himself will come to the door to check the records, and then report to the higher authorities;

Yang Heshu will also issue an order to serve, but he will advance the matter. He will be dispatched within ten days after the busy farming season. when the weather is coldest;

Yang Heshu didn't charge the city entrance fee, and also restrained the helpers in the county, not allowing them to trouble the small street vendors in the city;

It will also help merchants in the city to contact merchants outside to expand their business...

So not only Li Erlang, who didn't reveal his true identity at first glance, asked her, but ordinary people asked her how the two county magistrates were. She couldn't say that magistrate Fu was bad, but only said that she liked magistrate Yang better.

However, Li Erlang diverted his attention and asked about the donations added by the farmers and why their county was affected by the disaster two years ago.

But the farmer doesn't know the whole county, all he can say is the disaster situation in his village and several nearby villages.

But this is enough for Li Erlang to deduce the situation in their county.

Bai Shanbao also sat up. Both his grandmother and husband said that if he becomes an official in the future, he needs to understand these things.

And he also wanted to see how other people became officials and what the people would say about them.

Li Erlang asked about farming, "I don't know how the harvest was last year, how many stones can there be in one mu?"

"I haven't counted that one, but there are three and a half bags of good wheat per acre, and nearly three bags of bad wheat. The harvest is not bad."

Li Erlang frowned, remembered something, turned his head and asked Bai Shanbao: "You are from Luojiang County, do you know how the harvest is in Luojiang County?"

Bai Shanbao thought for a while and said: "Only the county government knows the data of the whole county, but our Xiaozhuangzi's wheat yield per mu was five shi when we weighed it last autumn, and the rice is much worse, only about three shi."

Li Erlang looked at him suspiciously, "How can the wheat harvest be so high?"

The yield of rice per mu is normal, but the wheat usually only yields about three stones, or some land is so fertile that it can yield four stones to cover the fields.

Bai Shanbao said with a smile: "We use new wheat seeds, so the harvest is higher than other places."

Originally, the wheat seeds used by the small farm and Lao Zhou were the best batches, and then the strongest and the best ears of wheat were selected for each harvest as wheat seeds.

I don't know if they have adapted to the environment of this era. The excellent properties of the wheat seeds are slowly being stimulated or adjusted. Anyway, the harvest in the past two years has been pretty good.

And it is even higher than the yield per mu of the old Zhou family.

Every year when the harvest is harvested, the story of the reincarnation of Manbao's fairy is more widely circulated.

Because the villagers agreed that Manbao and the others didn't take much care of the work in the field, and the annual harvest was even higher than them.

What could be the reason?

They know that the land in Daling is not very fertile, so the harvest can only be blessed by the gods.

The villagers think this way, but Bai Shanbao doesn't think so. As for the work on the farm, they just don't work in the fields, but they make the decisions.

Only they themselves know how many people they have to invite to fertilize each year, how much manure they scatter every year, and how much manpower they need to fetch water from the big canal to irrigate every year...

He felt that this high harvest was deserved, not by the blessing of gods.

However, although the villagers also listened to what they said, they still believed in the blessings of the gods.

Now that he was talking about farming, he couldn't help asking the farmer a few more questions, "Do you only grow spring wheat, and can you catch up with the rain when you head the ears?"

"How can God negotiate so much, it will always be a few days or ten days away, but it's not a big problem."

"The problem is still very big," Bai Shanbao said: "If the rain can catch up with the ears, not only will the grains be full, but the ears will also be longer."

"But we can't just let it rain, right?"

Bai Shanbao: "So it needs to be watered."

Li Erlang couldn't help looking at Bai Shanbao.

The farmer groaned and said, "There is so much land, how can it be watered? Moreover, when the wheat is filling grain, the grass in the field is luxuriant. If we don't weed the field right now, there will be no harvest."

Man Bao said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of manpower. It cannot be intensively cultivated. It would be great if there were a few more cows in the family."

"How many more cows are there? If there is a cow in our village, there is only one household." The farmer glanced at the clothes Man Bao and the others were wearing. He said with a smile: "Young master and young lady have a rich family, how do you know our suffering outside?"

"I know, my family is also very poor."

The farmer didn't believe it, "Can poor people afford to read? Still a girl."

"That's because our husband is good. I don't need money to study, and what's wrong with the girl, my family is the one I read first, and my nephews and nieces read it." Man Bao said: "Since manpower is gone for a while, animal power is also gone." If it’s not enough, then you can replace it with new wheat seeds.”
