Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

After the Double Ninth Festival, more than half of Zhang He's [-] mu of peas had been planted.

Peas are the most storable among the five grains, and they can be eaten no matter in auspicious or auspicious years, especially in auspicious years, they can be used as a substitute for food to satisfy hunger and help in hungry years.In addition to soybeans, most people choose to grow peas in autumn and winter.

Those who planted late rice also began to irrigate the paddy field with shallow water. Aunt Li and Mrs. Gao recently discovered that their rice had a lot of flowering and earing. If they can all bear fruit, the harvest will be good.In November, when the autumn tax is harvested, you have to pay the seedling rice, and Aunt Li even vaguely regrets that she didn't grow more at that time.

Li Qingshi said euphemistically: "If you plant too much, you have to hire someone to help, and pounding rice is also troublesome, isn't it?"

Not every household can buy mortars and stone mills to pound rice like Zhang He did. Most of them rent these rice pounding equipment from others, or sell the grain directly to rice merchants at a price that is [-]% cheaper.Because of this, many people have their eyes on Zhang He's new stone mill, and they come to borrow a place to grind rice.

Zhang He's stone mill was placed in the backyard. If she lent them the place, and someone with malicious intentions sneaked in at that time, she couldn't guarantee that there would be no trouble.So except for Aunt Li's family, she almost refused.

It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that she will be said to be stingy, and the interpersonal relationship Zhang He established with them when they got married has also become precarious.Gao Dalang was hesitant to talk when he met them several times. Zhang He didn't have much grudges against him, so he asked directly, "How is Gao Dalang recently?"

"Okay—" Gao Dalang paused, then changed his words embarrassingly, "It's okay."

"But what's the problem?" Zhang He asked again.

Gao Dalang hesitated and said: "I, I want to ask, after the autumn harvest, can Zhang Erlang's family's mortar and mill be rented to me for a few days?"

"Of course." Zhang He said, but he also understood that if he just asked her to rent a stone mill, he would not be so coy.

Gao Dalang was a little embarrassed: "It's just, it's just that after I sent my family Jiang'er to the village school, I was ashamed, so I--" Their family still owed money to buy grain seeds from Zhang He, and they haven't paid it back yet. , and owed another sum of money, he was very embarrassed to say that.

Zhang He was silent for a while, then nodded: "That's no problem."

With the case of Gao Dalang, many people came to her with the same excuses, and Zhang He was very annoyed.Xia Jiniang knew that she didn't want people to think that she was taking advantage of her status to be rich and unkind, but she also didn't want to be taken advantage of, so she suggested: "It's better to build a shed outside and move the stone mill there. Whoever wants to grind the rice can do it himself." Go to the mill and pay some tax every day; if you want to rent the donkey together, you have to pay more tax.”

Zhang He thinks this plan is feasible, she mainly does not want outsiders to enter and leave the backyard of their house, if Xia Jiniang's plan is used, she does not have to worry about privacy issues when building a shed outside.

So she went to Zhang Baochang, and Zhang Baochang found an open space for her nearby, which was close to the Sun Valley site, but not too far from Zhang He's house.If Zhang He harvests again next time, he can mill the rice nearby, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After the shed was set up, Zhang He also hired someone to move the stone mill over.The stone mill was too heavy to be moved without seven or eight strong men, so she didn't have to worry about someone stealing the stone mill.Some people came to watch curiously, and some children took the opportunity to play in the shed.

"Stone grinder tax costs ten renminbi a day, and if you include a donkey, you need [-] renminbi a day." Zhang He simply hung a wooden sign beside it, and everyone shouted after seeing this, "This is the same as hiring a person to pound rice for a day." Is the salary the same?!"

"You can hire someone to pound the rice yourself. I bought this donkey for more than a dozen pennies," Zhang He said.

Everyone was at a loss for words, this donkey is more expensive than an ox, and there is a donkey to help mill the rice, but it is less labor-intensive than manual pounding, and the grains are rarely damaged.Although Zhang He's family is not the only one in the village who owns a stone mill, it costs [-] cents a day to rent it from them. Relatively speaking, Zhang He's rent and tax are already very cheap.

Some people can afford to rent at this price, while others can't afford it, but Zhang He treats them equally, and those who can't afford it naturally have nothing to say.

Soon it was the time of autumn harvest in October. Not only did the rice of the people who planted late grains mature in October, but even the soybeans planted in July also matured.Everyone rushed to harvest when the weather was fine, and those who planted a lot had to hire someone to help, but they couldn't afford the price of Zhang He or the big landlords, so they could only ask two or three people to help.

Even the pregnant Mrs. Chen had to go to the field to help at this time. Xia Jiniang and Zhang He also went to help Mrs. Li when they had time, but Li Qing really thought that Zhang He would lend them the stone mill and donkey but would not accept them. They were embarrassed to let them work, so they hired a strong man to help.

Every time it's time to pay taxes, poor families will take the initiative to find such a job, in order to barely survive after paying the tax.

Shi Qing brought Qiu San and the others to Qinghe Village, Zhang Baozhang naturally knew why they came, every time when taxes were collected, someone from the government would come to bring the proof of the content of the taxes to be collected this year to the person in charge of supervision Zhang Baochang, who collects taxes.But what puzzled Zhang Baozhang was that Shi Qing actually came in person, usually he was sent by his subordinate officials or servants.

Every year, the tax collection situation in various places is determined by the local officials according to the situation. This year, the weather in Fuzhou is good, so the autumn tax has increased by one liter compared with previous years.One acre of rice for going to the field, eight liters for the middle field, and seven liters for the downfield. However, the free warehouse has to pay two more liters and two liters, plus five liters per stone, and other miscellaneous taxes. One mu of land has to pay at least three Four buckets of rice.

Zhang He didn't need to pay miscellaneous taxes, so the autumn tax paid for a hundred mu of land was only more than nine stones.The autumn tax paid by ordinary people is calculated based on the output of two stones per mu, and they have to pay one-fifth of it.

Shi Qing personally brought the "tax and rent notes" to Zhang He, Zhang He naturally knew that he was not interested in drinking, but he would not slap him in the face, and invited him and Qiu San into the house.

Shi Qing looked at Zhang He's house, and found that the house was a bit old, and there were traces of new repairs in some places, but overall it still had the background of a rich family.

There is a large water tank in each of the four corners of the front courtyard of the house, but there are no patterns on the outside of the water tank, and there is only a wave of clear water inside, which loses a bit of elegance.He said: "Mr. Zhang Xiaolang, why don't you raise two koi in the tank? The so-called 'Tibetan wind gathers energy, and water is the best'. If you add a few koi, you will be rich and rich!"

Zhang He was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect such a wonderful method, so he smiled and said, "Lieutenant Shixian has such a good plan. I will raise two koi someday. But I am not very good at raising koi, so please don't hesitate to ask Lieutenant Shixian." Teach me!"

"That's easy to say." Shi Qing said.

Xia Jiniang served the ordered tea, and Zhang He introduced them to them again, but Xia Jiniang thought it was not suitable for this occasion, so she left quickly.

Shi Qing looked at Xia Jiniang differently, after all, there are not many ordinary people who know how to order tea.He knew Xia Jiniang's family background, and when he checked Zhang He's identity, he also checked Xia Jiniang. Although the two were not in the right family, from the present point of view, it seemed that Xia Jiniang did have something worthy of Zhang He's marriage.

Zhang He talked with Qiu San again, although both of them could feel that there was a little distance between her words, but her gentle and polite appearance made them unable to hate them, instead they had the idea of ​​a deep friendship with her.Zhang He even showed Qiu San the diagram of the transmission mechanism he had drawn, and said, "If someone can make such a wheel shaft with iron, Qiu Zuoguan's wish will be fulfilled soon."

Qiu San felt a sense of sympathy for each other: "What Mr. Zhang Erlang said is very true, but instead of wood, iron is used, and the cost is many times more expensive."

"Then you might as well start with wooden axles and gear teeth. As long as you can create an exquisite mechanism, I may be able to support Qiu Zuoguan for everything that follows." Zhang He smiled slightly.

Qiu San was surprised that Zhang He's fields were not suitable for the water-turning car he wanted to build. What good would she do for herself?

Zhang He said with a smile: "Qiu Zuoguan is sympathetic to the farmers and cares about all sentient beings. I am deeply impressed. If the construction is successful, it will be a great merit. It is just a small contribution and a little effort."

Qiu San knew that the premise of Zhang He's funding for him was that he could make the most basic axles and gear teeth into ingenious mechanisms, but he was still very moved and decided to study how to make ingenious mechanisms after returning home.

A cup of tea was cold, and Xia Jiniang came over to change it for them.But Shi Qing sent Qiu San away, and Zhang He sat upright, knowing that Shi Qing was about to reveal his real purpose.

Sure enough, Shi Qing euphemistically stated that he knew that Zhang He had obtained more than 180 grains of grain during the harvest in July.

Zhang He was not surprised, after all, Zhang Baochang and Shi Qing were still close, although Zhang Baochang was unwilling to let the government know about Zhang He's bumper harvest, so as not to increase his pressure; but even if the government knew, this person was Zhang He, and they They will not do anything to Zhang He or Zhang Baochang.

This made Zhang Baochang reveal the truth to Shi Qing without any burden. Shi Qing also knew that Zhang He had lent grain seeds to Aunt Li and Gao Dalang's family, and when he came here this time, he found that the output of these two families was also three shi. It is believed to be the effect of Zhang He's grain seeds.

Shi Qing will not be satisfied with being mediocre on the road to officialdom, so he needs great political achievements in order to open up a rapid upward path when he is young and strong.

Zhang He was quite troubled. If she really agreed to Shi Qing, not only might she not be able to help him, but she might even cause him to be demoted; if the next year's harvest fails, he will have to start all over again.

"Presumably Shixian Lieutenant also knows that I didn't keep any grain seeds. I pounded them into rice and sold them to rice merchants, so I really don't have any grain seeds to lend to the yamen." Zhang He said bluntly.

Shi Qing insisted: "In fact, there is no need for Mr. Zhang Xiaolang to lend the grain seeds. It is enough for Mr. Zhang Xiaolang to tell him how he got the grain seeds."

Zhang He can be said to be the family from which she bought the traditional grain last time, but in this way, what Shi Qing thought would definitely come to nothing.But she can't be said to be the grain seed of the Zhang family, if Shi Qing goes to the Zhang family to ask, it will be revealed.

"What should I do?" Zhang He breathed out the system involuntarily, staring at the different varieties of rice.

There are thirteen different varieties of hybrid rice in her farm system, except for those that are not suitable for growing in the Yangtze River Valley, there are only five suitable rice varieties, some of which can be grown for two seasons, and some that can be grown for a single season Yes, and except for the medium rice she planted last time, the rest of the grains are only three stones.

Each mu of land needs two catties of grain seeds, and she can only plant [-] mu at a time, so she doesn't have any extra grain seeds to lend to Shi Qing.

"Why are the grain seeds in this system all hybrid rice!" Zhang He's mind suddenly popped up such an idea.

"Lieutenant Shixian, to tell you the truth, the reason why I have a good harvest is because of the good weather, not because of the grain seeds. I bought my grain seeds from Li Xunguan in the village at the beginning. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Shi Qing didn't doubt Zhang He's words, he pondered for a moment, and decided to go to Li Xun's house to take a look.Although Zhang He failed to give him the most satisfactory answer, he would not blame her for it, not to mention that Zhang Tingxuan was behind her, and he would not blame her just because of her personality.

Shi Qing left in a sensible manner, and Zhang He heaved a sigh of relief.

She doesn't hate Shi Qing, and it won't do her any harm if she makes one more friend who is an official.If in a few years, after she figured out a way to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. in an open and aboveboard manner, she might be able to help him improve his political achievements.

No longer thinking about Shi Qing, Zhang He thought about raising two koi in the water tank he mentioned, and remembered that there were several fry in his system, so he exhaled from the system.Suddenly, she found something strange in the system warehouse...

The author has something to say: farms, pastures and fish fry all belong to the same system
