"You don't have to pay for it, I'll give you ten,"

Jiang Yan grabbed a handful of black cold parasol and stuffed it into the old man's arms.

"I am the new mayor Jiang Yan. When you are better, come to the town office and let me take a look."

He somewhat suspected that this old man was invited by Ye Nitang.

In all his years in the army, he had never heard anyone say that cold paralysis could still be cured.

It's still the case that his leg bones are deformed and he can barely walk.

"Mayor Jiang, you are a good man, thank you very much. I will go to the town office to thank you after I finish using it."

When the old man encountered such a great good thing, he was naturally so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear and left with Hanbi Gao in his arms.

Ye Nitang was speechless for a while, "Mayor Su is so considerate of the people's sufferings that he simply provides all the food on this street."

Yuan Pu was unhappy when he heard this, "Hey, Miss Ye, what are you talking about? You forced us to buy such a good cooling ointment, but you are not allowed to give it away?"

"Give her money to buy all her ointments and distribute them to the people on the road."

Jiang Yan suddenly said, he wouldn't live long anyway, why would he need so much money?

I can't buy all the vegetables, but I can still buy her some balm.

Ye Nitang's face darkened, and he took the cooling ointment back from Yuan Pu's hand.

"I won't sell you any more. The ten the old man took are exactly one tael of silver notes. You can go."

If the two of them gave it to her for free, her ointment would become a cheap thing.

If I come back to sell it tomorrow, there will definitely be some freeloaders asking for it.

By then, talking nonsense will also make her elixir lose its quality.

Yuan Pu looked at his empty hands with a look of constipation on his face. Is she stupid?

You don’t want it delivered to your door, but you want to sell it slowly yourself?

Jiang Yan also didn’t understand. Why not sell out all at once?

"Give her another tael of silver notes and get thirty cooling ointments."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Forget it if you don’t want to sell it.

Yuan Pu took out a tael of silver notes and gave it to Ye Nitang, and took away thirty cool ointments and one cold numbing ointment.

His grandfather Yuan Fu was the old housekeeper of the General's Mansion. He always said that his arms were numb, so he took it home and gave it to him to try.

Ye Nitang collected the banknote and warned again, "Read the taboos on it clearly. It cannot be eaten. Pregnant women cannot use it."

"Remember, remember, there are no women in our town government, so we are not afraid." Yuan Pu left with the ointment in his pocket.

The next sales promotion was much more difficult because of Jiang Yan's "send".

Several people selling vegetables at nearby stalls said she was ignorant.

The mayor already paid for it and said it would be given to them for free, so why wouldn't she be happy?

Ye Nitang ignored them lazily and moved to another place with the ointment.

Thanks to his good mouth, he was sold out.

Most of them were poor people in the town. Seeing that the cooling ointment was large in quantity, smelled good, and was for external use, they bought one.

There are also some people in the village who, like the old man, suffer from cold paralysis. They want to buy one and give it a try.

Her place is sold out, and Ye Qinghong and Huang's place is also sold out.

Thinking that Ye Nitang will no longer harm poultry.

Mr. Huang sold ten chickens, six ducks and a pair of white geese.

"I haven't seen Butcher Lin for a while. I still want to buy a piglet from him."

Mrs. Huang looked towards Lin's butcher shop, but it was still empty.

Ye Nitang also looked over. When Lin Changhe lent money to the Ye family, it was Lin Changhe himself who did not agree with it.

The original owner had met Butcher Lin several times before, and when asked about Lin Changhe, he immediately cursed him, saying that the original owner was the scourge of their old Lin family.

"Auntie, one day you go to buy a pig, I will go with you and buy one too."

Ye Nitang decided to go to Butcher Lin's house to see if Lin Changhe had really gone out to work.

Mr. Huang nodded, "Okay, let's go the day after tomorrow. After buying the pigs, I will stop for a few days and come to town to cut the early-maturing wheat at home."

Ye Qinghong followed: "Our family is about to be harvested. I wonder if we will have enough for summer grain?"

"Your family's one acre of land can only harvest three hundred catties. If this year's summer grain doesn't increase, that's almost enough."

"Last year's autumn grain increased by ten kilograms. I'm afraid it will increase again this year. If it's not enough, I have to buy it."

"Alas, this is the fate of us ordinary people. We have been busy for a whole year and it is not enough to hand it over to the officials."

Ye Nitang, who was silent, listened to the conversation between the two and thought of the tax and food here.

Food payment in summer is calculated on a head-to-head basis, and children over five years old are paid according to the adult rate.

Last year, each person paid 60 kilograms of grain, and children under five years old paid 30 kilograms.

Autumn grain is calculated based on one stone of grain per acre of land.

No matter how many fields you have in your name, or whether the weather is good or bad, you can’t miss a single grain.

As for merchants, there are more, except for summer and autumn grain taxes.

They also have to hand over 30% of the shop's profits every month.

Vegetable farmers like Ye Qinghong and Huang who set up long stalls in the town have to pay a stall fee of one tael in silver notes on the first day of every month.

Even the girls in Bai Jiao Niang's brothel have to pay taxes.

Anyway, the imperial court encouraged people to open up wasteland and buy land, and did not restrict women from going out to do small business.

Just pay taxes to the court.

In addition, you have to pay a capitation tax, no matter adults or children, each person has to pay two hundred cash per year.

The servants who are raised will pay double the head tax.

There is also a household tax of two taels of silver notes per year.

Five pieces of silk cotton per household per year, which can be replaced by silver notes.

Horse feed, regardless of whether adults or children, each pays one hundred catties, and only four items are straw, soybeans, wheat bran and black beans.

If not, pay.

Males over the age of fifteen are required to serve twice a year for one month each time.

If you don't want to go, you will be charged 10 taels of silver at a time.

There are also some temporary taxes with weird names, but fortunately they are not many.

Only those who are officials do not have to pay taxes.

For example, if Yao Minzhi is admitted as a scholar, he does not have to pay taxes and can also receive government subsidies.

Ye Nitang thought of reading time-travel novels and time-travel dramas when she was a kid, and thought time-travel was weird and fun.

She also fantasized about the various adventures she would encounter after traveling through time.

After truly experiencing it, I realized that life in ancient times was really difficult.

When she got home, she took out a bag of copper coins and several banknotes.

Yang He'er and Ye Kuanyan counted and found a total of 5,000 copper coins and nine silver notes with a face value of one or two.

Both families were surprised by this number.

Ye Nitang didn't think it was too much, so she put away a couple of silver notes.

"Uncle Yang, I bought these two beeswax, and our two families will share the rest.

Whether you buy firewood or we buy beeswax, we keep an account and settle the accounts at the end of the month. The money earned by then will be divided equally between our two families. "

Yang Dashan immediately refused, "This won't work, let's just do a job and you can pay us."

"Tang'er, let's work together to make good money and pay off your family's debts. Don't let people poke your spines and gossip."

The three siblings were really moved when they heard Mrs. Wu's words.

Since Father Ye and Mother Ye were taken away, apart from Lin Changhe, the five members of the Yang family were the ones who helped them most sincerely.

Mrs. Wu's whole body ached, but she still helped them look after the children.

Huang taught Ye Qinghong how to grow grain and vegetables, and even helped him sell vegetables without hiding any selfish motives.

Ye Qinghong thought about the past and gratefully bowed to the three elders of the Yang family.

"Grandma Wu, Uncle Yang, Auntie, I will never forget your kindness. As for what the eldest sister said, that's what I meant. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to trouble you again in the future."

"Okay, let's not talk about money for now." Yang Dashan felt that it was too early to divide the money. "What if the beeswax is gone?"
