No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Chapter 112 The new official takes office with 3 sparks! Employee Benefits!

Time passed by slowly, and it was December in the blink of an eye.

Because of proper planning, there was no delay in the supply to Tai'an Building. Ji Qingyue was able to prepare the goods on time for the guys to take away.

On snowy days, people no longer travel frequently. Baskets of fresh green vegetables are placed on the empty dirt roadside. Against the backdrop of white snow and withered yellow, they look particularly attractive and make people unable to take their eyes away. Even the guys I met several times couldn't help but sigh during the transportation, how could they grow such good vegetables in winter!

Ji Qingyue followed the cart to the city gate and found that today was a little different from usual. The inspection at the city gate seemed to have become stricter. Normally, as long as the guys at Tai'an Tower met each other, the soldiers guarding the city would let them into the city without asking any more questions. But today it seemed a little more "verbose". The soldiers not only had to check their goods, but also their documents.

The soldiers were a little surprised by the "official business" of the soldiers, but they did not ask the reason and actively cooperated with the work of the soldiers guarding the city.

While waiting at the city gate, Ji Qingyue noticed three men holding horses standing by the city's outer gate. They seemed to be staring at him.

He turned to look over and met the eyes of the three people. He saw that the three of them were all dressed up for local winter travel. They wore hoods and pulled up cloth towels to cover half of their faces. They were wearing thick fur cloaks and wore them on their hands. Wearing gloves, only one pair of eyes is exposed from the whole body.

Ji Qingyue was not sure that they were staring at him, but when their eyes met, he clearly saw one of them nodding towards him, as if to say hello.

Out of politeness, Ji Qingyue nodded in response.

Turning his head, Ji Qingyue lowered his head and thought for a while, searching in his mind. He was very sure that he really didn't recognize these three people, and he didn't know why they were staring at him.

Now is Shandan's annual depression period, and there are few people entering and leaving the city. The soldiers guarding the city quickly checked the goods on the carts and ordered them to be let into the city.

Ji Qingyue ignored the three people and followed the cart into the city.

He turned around and asked a few words to his acquaintances, who had quietly asked the soldiers guarding the city and explained to him the reason why the city gates were strictly guarded.

Ji Qingyue suddenly turned around and saw that the three people were still looking at him.

The eyes of several people met again, and he took the initiative to nod and smile at each other.

Among the three people, one was the rumored new county magistrate.

It wasn't until Ji Qingyue's figure disappeared that Hong Yu looked back and turned to ask the soldiers on duty: "What's going on with them?"

The soldiers on duty under the city gate had to stay outside for a long time and at the same time ensure that their physical activities were not affected. In order to prevent the cold and take into account their activities, they wore clothes made of their own wool under their military uniforms and thick hats on their heads. The felt hat was also tightly wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

However, these clothes were still not enough to resist the cold, let alone the soldiers who could not afford the cloth. Therefore, when on duty, the soldiers used to find a place to light the stove at the leeward city gate, half-closing the city gate while avoiding the wind and snow to warm themselves up. On duty.

It was also the sudden arrival of the new county magistrate that caught them off guard and caught them slacking off. Fortunately, the new county magistrate didn't say anything, but asked them to take turns to come out and have a look from time to time. They should check carefully when they encounter people coming in and out of the city. some.

Facing Hong Yu's question, a soldier replied: "Sir, they are all guys from Tai'an Building. They come to Ji Langjun to pick up the goods every other month. As you can see, the baskets are filled with fresh food. Vegetables, who doesn’t want to take a bite of fresh vegetables in winter!”

Qu Ning was the first to not believe it, but seeing is believing. He had indeed seen it with his own eyes just now. The basket was full of green vegetables. “How does he grow so many fresh vegetables in winter?!”

The soldier shrugged: "This is Najiro-kun's family inheritance skill. No one knows how he grows fresh vegetables."

Hong Yu thought: "Where do they usually pick up the goods?"

The soldier pointed in a direction outside the city: "There is a Shili Pavilion on the dirt road that goes out of the official road. That's where they transport goods into the city."

"Mr. Ji Jialang always follows the Tai'an Building guys out of the city to pick up the goods at Shiliting?"

The soldier shook his head: "That's not the case. Usually Ji Langjun leaves the city first when the city gate opens. It is almost noon before the guys from Tai'an Tower pull the cart out of the city to pick up the goods."

In this way, the place to grow fresh vegetables is not in the city or east of the city.

The new county magistrate did not want to dig out Ji Qingyue's vegetable growing skills, but just out of habit. He subconsciously recalled the topographic maps of the nearby mountains and forests, and found that things were not as simple as they seemed.

This Ji Qingyue is not simple.

Hong Yu did not hesitate. The three of them just arrived outside the city one step ahead of Ji Qingyue. After identifying themselves and explaining some things to the soldiers guarding the city, they wanted to enter the city immediately, but they never expected that the soldiers would see the soldiers walking behind them. The Tai'an Building guy subconsciously underestimated him before he asked in detail.

No matter who you ask, you don’t know. It turns out that the man walking next to the trolley, wearing a cloak and not looking like a local, is the "Ji Qingyue" he heard in Shangli Village!

So he took the horse to one side and waited to see the rumored young master of his boss, Ji Qingyue Ji Langjun.

The next day, the county government office, which had not been heard for a long time, opened its doors. The new county magistrate, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared in front of everyone. The first thing the new magistrate did after taking office was to promulgate a new tax law - the two tax laws.

With the promulgation and implementation of the new tax policy, people throughout the city knew that the new county magistrate had taken office.

Ji Qingyue listened to the news brought back by Li Sanlang in the painting, and sighed with emotion at the new county magistrate's vigorous and resolute actions, and the first fire began to burn.

"The implementation of the new tax is the will of the officials. Even before the county magistrate arrived in Shandan, there was news of the implementation of the new tax in other places. It is nothing more than the difference in the speed of information transmission between places." Everyone had already implemented the new tax in Jiangnan. They knew the official's intentions when they were young. After more than half a year of preparation and transition, now the people are not much surprised.

Li Sanlang continued: "The decree posted on the bulletin board is clearly written. Shandan County and hundreds of villages under it will officially pay the new tax from next year. Money tax will be paid in June and July, and grain tax will be paid in September and October. The tax and silk tax are already included in the money tax, so there is no need to pay it again.”

The more Ji Qing calculated, he found that under the new tax, the taxes borne by each person were increasing. For those who did not have land, such as traders and lackeys, they did not have to pay the grain tax, but only had to bear the summer tax, which was the head tax. As for those "real estate tycoons", in addition to the increase in grain taxes, there is also an additional money tax. The total amount of these taxes and fees has doubled compared with the grain taxes paid in the past.

"The most important thing is that the government has relaxed restrictions on land sales and allowed people with little land to buy land."

What Ji Qing thought more and more was: "There are already many people without land. What if no one is willing to give up the land in their hands?"

Li Sanlang thought for a while and guessed at the answer: "Maybe the county government is disposing of the land left by the temple. The temple land has been detained in the hands of the county government. The real rich and powerful businessmen don't care about the taxes and fees, and the government only needs to receive With sufficient taxes and fees, we won’t care too much about who has more land and who has less land.”

Market trading is flexible and free, so you have to watch it first.

Sure enough, within a few days, news from the outside confirmed Li Sanlang's suspicion.

Ji Qing rarely goes out to join in the fun. In the past few days since Xinhong County Magistrate took office, the city has been very lively, and there is an endless stream of people looking outside the county government office.

There were layers and layers of people surrounding the bulletin board, and they never dispersed for a long time. Ji Qingyue couldn't squeeze in. He listened to the people who were looking at the bulletin board explaining that it turned out that Magistrate Hong had asked Cun Zheng and Li Zheng from each village to come. The county government paid a visit and asked them to bring back the news of the land sale and find ways to tell the people who had fled to the mountains.

Only lifeless bandits with a guarantee issued by Muramasa and Rimasa, after being investigated by the county government and not reported by others, are eligible to purchase farmland confiscated by the county government.

First come, first served.

Hong Yu spent more than a month visiting all the villages under Shandan. Not only did he grasp all the situations, but he always gained something. The hard work of more than a month was not in vain. Combining the household registers and field registers registered by the county government, and through the oral descriptions and on-site visits of the village leaders, he had a rough idea of ​​the situation below.

Ji Qingyue listened for a while, feeling only relieved in his heart.

Since the relaxation of land sales, the land market has been briefly active. Small-scale land transactions have increased, and more people have gone to the county government to change their land registration. As soon as the news of the land purchase came out, there was another uproar in the city. The crowds of people coming from all over made the deserted Shandan noisy for a while.

Ji Qingyue rented a donkey cart and drove slowly to the east of the city.

The snow in front of Zhuangzi's gate was swept aside and piled up. The stairs were clean, as if someone had cleaned the door.

With the key to the gate in his hand, Ji Qingyue parked the donkey cart, opened the gate and walked into Zhuangzi.

It was obvious that no one was cleaning the village. Layers of snow piled up on the courtyard and roof. Only the verandah dream allowed people to pass through.

Ji Qingyue went to the warehouse in the backyard. It was originally designed to store grain. It was similar to the grain house he drew, but it was larger and could store more grain.

He untied the bamboo tube from his cloak, opened the scroll, and went back and forth several times to remove most of the rice and wheat seeds from the grain house in the painting.

Just moving out made him exhausted. Looking at the sacks all over the ground before he could sort them out, Ji Qingyue re-examined how much food he had grown this year.

In one year, it is not a problem to rotate rice planting five times in each field. One field can harvest more than 100 kilograms of rice, and two rice fields can harvest more than 1,000 and nearly 2,000 kilograms of rice in a year. There are also some that have a much higher yield. wheat.

If he were to feed himself alone and eat more than a pound of rice and noodles a day, the rice and wheat would be enough for him to last ten years.

These optimized seeds will rot if left uneaten, so it is better to make them more valuable.

But before that, he had to rest for a while. Ji Qingyue looked at the bags of food that he had thrown out randomly, and decided to find someone to help stack them.

He wiped the sweat from his face, put on the cloak he took off just now, and planned to go out to find someone for help.

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he happened to see someone helping him feed the donkey. "Sun Fei?"

"My boss is well!"

"How did you come?"

"I just left the dustpan when I was clearing the snow. When I came back to get it, I happened to see the donkey cart and the lock on the door was also taken off. I thought it was my boss who came, so I wanted to wait and see if he had any orders." Fei We brought hay and water from home, but after waiting for a long time, Ji Qingyue didn't come out: "The young one patted the door, but didn't hear the owner's response. He planned to go back after the donkey had eaten and drank enough."

Just in time.

"Just in time, do me a favor." Ji Qingyue quickly asked Sun Fei to come in.

Sun Fei followed Ji Qingyue to the backyard warehouse and saw the bulging sacks on the floor. He didn't realize what was inside. It wasn't until he started carrying them that he realized to his surprise that they were full of seeds.

"My boss, you brought so much grain in by yourself? Why didn't you ask us to help!!" No wonder the boss looked sweaty when he opened the door, with white mist rising from his head in the winter.

Of course Ji Qingyue would not answer. Under Sun Feicheng's fearful eyes, the two of them worked together to stack the twenty sacks on the elevated board.

The boss is so kind that he does the heavy work himself. If it wasn't too heavy, he probably wouldn't think of asking for help.

He subconsciously wondered if Ji Qingyue didn't want people to know about the existence of this batch of grain: "Dong, boss...are these grains...?"

Ji Qingyue wiped his sweat and did not want to hide it: "These are the seeds for next year. I plan to let the three of you plant some and do some experiments on the way."

Fei nodded along. When he was carrying the seeds, he accidentally saw the seeds leaking out of the sacks. There were wheat and rice seeds from the south. He could tell just by touching them that they were full-sized, high-quality seeds.

"We will wait until next year for details. If you really can't bear it, you can discuss it with the other two companies in advance. I have 800 kilograms of rice seeds and more than a thousand kilograms of wheat seeds. I can just plant the wheat seeds normally. I want to plant the rice seeds. In relatively dry land, it is rice after all, so we need to ensure easy access to water near the rice fields, lest it becomes too dry and cannot be remedied."

Sun Fei looked excited when he heard it, and kept nodding in response to Ji Qingyue's words.

"Master, if the seeds are left unattended in the village, is it unsafe? Do you want us to guard them?"

Ji Qingyue waved his hand: "No, as long as you don't reveal it carelessly, no one will know that these seeds are placed in Zhuangzi." However, seeing Fei's worried face, he said, "If you are really worried, just pay more attention to strangers."

He had the keys to the door and the warehouse, and he had already saved enough seeds. Even if all the seeds he took out were in vain, it would still be within his tolerance.

In the future, his work focus will be on cotton, and he may not have time to take care of Zhuangzi, so he should do these things in advance to prepare Fei and others.

Because Ji Qingyue's words revealed the meaning of "peace of mind" and "give it a go", Fei had to ask one more question: "Master, are you really giving up all these seeds to us?"

"Of course, although there are still a few requirements that have not been mentioned, I can guarantee you one thing, that is, all the harvest is yours."

Now Fei was really excited.

According to past experience, if such good seeds are cultivated carefully, if God is willing to reward them, they will never fail to harvest.

There is no rent for four acres of land. If the yield per mu is normal, their family will have eight more grains! !

Great! !

Fei didn't know that this was called employee welfare, and there would be many places where people would be used in the future.
