After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 286 Procedures for Finding 0
Everyone sells potatoes in quantities of several hundred kilograms, and the government has a variety of ways of bearing the weight.
In order to quickly measure this batch of grain, the Jiangzhou government directly took out various tools for autumn harvest, such as scales, beam balances, and weights.
The person who weighs the objects will record them in a list and then hand the villagers a piece of paper similar to a receipt.
The villagers can take this piece of paper and line up in the silver deposit queue to withdraw the silver.
If you say that there are many people lining up in the potato-selling queue, it is because people and potatoes occupy space in the queue, making the queue look long.
But if you really count them, the number is still less than the people queuing up to withdraw money.
On this first day, the government officials did not expect that the grain harvest scene would be so lively. Almost every household in the village sent people over.
This is different from the collection of grain taxes in the past. The government only needs to calculate the amount of grain that needs to be paid as tax based on the number of people in each household and the number of registered acres of land, and then weigh it.
This was the first time that silver and money were distributed on the spot.
The result of this inexperience was that the government sent too few moneylenders. A line had been formed from noon until now, but only about ten households had completed the distribution of silver.
However, this also has something to do with the silver itself.
Bai Qingyun also realized in the morning when he saw the first person holding the silver that not all silver in ancient times was pre-cut.
Instead, you need to use small scissors or large scissors to cut out a few coins on the spot.
Cutting off a corner is called "jiao" or "hao", which is the smallest degree of silver that can be cut into pieces. It can be exchanged for more than ten copper coins at the market.
Many families who came to sell grain had already dug several large bags of potatoes yesterday, and they dug a lot more in the morning. Adding the two together, the number was not a small number.
The silver that can be exchanged comes in both small and large amounts.
It's easier to give whole coins, but for the change, it involves the issue of change, and this is when the scissors come into play.
Looking at the team in front of him, the adult in charge of supervision was sweating profusely with anxiety.
They had to go back to the government office every day to hand in the account books, and there were special people responsible for checking them. The next day they had to go to Lord Yu to get the day's silver.
Seeing the situation, he immediately reduced the number of people in the weighing team, borrowed several tables in the village, and opened a few new silver lending points. Only then did the long line get alleviated.
Fortunately, everyone saw the first family holding silver and looked forward to their own family income.
Although the line was long, everyone in the village knew each other. During the long wait, they chatted with each other about how many kilograms of potatoes they had just weighed.
Then, compare the amount received by the previous few companies to roughly estimate the amount for your own company.
Although the villagers are not well educated and are not very good at accounting, they all know that when it comes to their turn, they will have to pay a lot of silver.
With anticipation, the waiting is naturally nothing.
Several people from the Bai family listened to Village Chief Yang's description of the scene outside and were also infected by the atmosphere.
Although it is still early to the end of the year, we can predict from this spring that Dayang Village will have a good New Year this year.
It was not until Bai's mother spoke that the originally heated atmosphere became calm.
"Uncle Yang, don't worry, since we have already agreed on this master's people, they will not be changed."
Then Bai's mother made up her mind and said, "Tomorrow... I will go to your house and tell you!"
Bai Qingyun looked in the direction of the next yard and said, "Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow."
The Jiang family’s courtyard wall was built early on, and ordinary people couldn’t see what was going on inside.
All I know is that the Jiang family hasn't held the wedding banquet yet and that person hasn't moved in yet.
But Bai Qingyun is not an ordinary person. When he was using his light skills to fly in his own yard just now, he could clearly see the layout of the Jiang family's yard.
Judging from the area they occupy, the Jiang family's courtyard is about the same size as the Bai family's.
But from the layout point of view, the Bai family's yard takes into account both living and practicality in the countryside, but lacks in aesthetics.
The Jiang family's courtyard was designed according to the layout of the city, with all kinds of flowers, plants and trees planted throughout the yard.
There are many people in the Bai family, and the courtyard is not very well built, but there are many rooms inside.
Each of the Jiang family's courtyards is large, and the rooms are also much larger.
The basic layout of the Jiang family has been almost completed, and now they have just hired people to plant various flowers and plants in every corner of the yard.
This kind of flowers and plants are not common in Jiangzhou, and some are very precious. Bai Qingyun estimated that they must be flowers brought from Kyoto.
Flowers and plants need someone to take care of them all the time. Judging from the situation, are the two people in the Jiang family planning to retire in Dayang Village?
However, what surprised Bai Qingyun was that the doors of the rooms in the yard were all open, and there was no furniture or decoration inside.
However, this can also be inferred that the Jiang family no longer lives here.
Therefore, if Bai's mother wanted to find someone from the Jiang family, she had to go to the provincial capital.
Bai's mother knew what Bai Qingyun meant and nodded quickly, "Okay, I also want to go to Jiangzhou for a stroll."
It has been a while since she came to Jiangzhou, but she has not yet taken a close look around the city!
Village Chief Yang knew about Bai's mother's experience, so he naturally knew Jiang's father's abilities.
But people are all made of flesh and blood. No matter how capable a person is, he cannot exchange his daughter's lifelong happiness for his future!
Even a commoner like him knows this truth, so how could this person not know it?
It's just that he didn't stick to his bottom line.
He even made an extreme assumption: if he succeeded in selling his daughter, would he sell his wife in exchange for his future one day?
In the eyes of a farmer like him, this is not something a human being would do!
But even such a person without any bottom line, he actually passed the imperial examination and served as an official in the court!
Such a rare person is hard to find in Dayang Village!
For the sake of the children's future, he shamelessly came to the Bai family, but he also didn't want Bai's mother to suffer any injustice.
"This...if it's really difficult, we can find a way ourselves!"
"Dashan will be working at the government office tomorrow. He has met many people, so we can ask him to find someone else when the time comes."
However, after this private school is built, it will be left there empty.
So many families, so many children, watching and hoping...
Bai's mother naturally knew this, so she smiled and said soothingly, "It's not that serious, it just takes a little more talking."
According to Bai's mother's understanding, the man was best at poetry and books, and he used all his salary as an official to buy books, calligraphy and paintings.
Although the Jiang family was responsible for the household expenses, the finances of the mansion were controlled by the stepmother, so naturally, the things allocated to their room were as little as possible.
It’s still my mother... Only after I have given my own dowry can I live a decent life.
