If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

In March of Yangchun, the willow trees begin to twirl, and the dark brown land is covered with a layer of fine fluffy green.

Xia's house became lively early in the morning, Qiao Niang made breakfast early, and was supposed to go out after eating, Xia Dalang went to the field to check the work, Dong Ge'er went to Wen Shu's subordinates for training every day, and everyone else had their own things to do.

But today, Xia Chen has something to call the villagers to announce that all activities will be suspended, so that everyone doesn't have to rush and have a leisurely breakfast.

"Mother, why didn't you call me in the morning?" The young lady got up late in the morning and was in a hurry, her hair tied crookedly, she rushed out of the room, her schoolbag was slanted on her shoulder, and she grabbed a bun in her hand and was about to go out. run.

"Come back." Qiao Niang grabbed her daughter, "What does the girl look like when she's so sloppy?"

The young girl stomped her feet anxiously, "I'm going to be late for school"

Qiaoniang untied her daughter's crooked bun and tied it up again, poking her forehead, "What's the rush, I forgot that today is a weekly holiday"

Xia Chen discussed with Mr. Meng at the beginning that the school has one day off every week, which is of course not as good as weekends, but compared with the current students who take ten days off, they are still happy.

Youniang took out the book from her schoolbag and looked at the date she recorded, and then suddenly realized, "That's right, I don't go to school today."

The blindfolded little niece was naive. Xia Chen bent his eyes and served her a bowl of porridge, "Sit down and eat first."

Young Niang immediately became happy again, "Then I'll call Xuan Niang and Ping Niang to catch fish by the river. Let's fry small dried fish for lunch." one.

Regarding this, Brother Nan had a common topic with his younger sister who was ten years younger than him, and immediately answered the conversation, "Okay, okay, catch more, fried small dried fish is the best."

Xia Dalang's big fan-like palm stuck to the back of Brother Nan's head, "I just know how to eat. I didn't hear your uncle say that I have something important to talk about today. Not only do I want to help, but I also think about eating."

"Then I thought my mother would like to eat it." Brother Nan quibbled, and under the slap of his father, he shut up wisely and lowered his head to drink the porridge in aggrieved manner. He just muttered that he was working very hard is it good

Because of the slap in the morning, Brother Nan ate two more meat buns than usual to replenish his body. After eating, Xia Chen asked Brother Dong to inform the villagers to hold a meeting in the school playground. The place is big, and it happens that there is no class today. , freed up the venue.

The young lady wanted to go out to play after eating, but her mother dragged her back again, "Go and change your clothes, the school uniform is dirty, let's see what you will wear tomorrow."

The young lady touched the cuffs with some reluctance. The clothes on her body were custom-made by her uncle. The style is beautiful and comfortable to wear. There are designed buckles on the cuffs and trousers. It looks very capable and easy to move around.You can also adjust the buckle to the loosest position for comfort in daily study and life. It is very comfortable if it is loose.

Considering that light-colored clothes are easy to get dirty for children, and black and gray alone are too dark and not lively enough, so the school uniform is black and red, and there is a short cape of the same color, which is suitable for going out in the morning and evening or when the weather is cooler You can wear it when you want.

A group of children wore exactly the same crisp new clothes and carried a special and unique schoolbag, not to mention how energetic and beautiful they were. Walking in the village, adults and children couldn't help but look at them.Especially those children, all of them are extremely greedy, and the little eyes that look at them are full of envy, but this group of children is very proud.

So this group of children, including Xue Guangzong, who used to be a rich young master, usually cherish their school uniforms very much. There is no such thing as wearing school uniforms. If the clothes are washed, they have to wear their usual old clothes. Very sad.

Because of this set of free clothes and schoolbags, some villagers even want to send their children to study again. After all, after all, if you pay such a small amount of repairs, and go back with a new set of clothes and a new bag, you might earn money. It's over.

Of course, Xia Chen won't let them take advantage of this. It's no problem to send students here. You can go to class after Shu Xiu pays. As for school uniforms and schoolbags, there is no such thing. These are the benefits he gave to the students. It's been a long time, and the benefits are over, and there are no more.

There are also those who can't stand the begging and crying of the children at home, and want to make them a whole body by themselves, but unfortunately, there are only that kind of homespun cloth in the village, which is too soft and not stiff enough.No one will dye it. The homemade cloth itself is a kind of beige that is not white enough, which is not ugly, but it is definitely not as eye-catching as black and red.

There is also the craftsmanship of the needle girl. At first glance, the school uniform is just an ordinary tailoring. It just looks good, and you can do it yourself.

There are three or two who secretly made clothes according to the style. The children at home waited long enough, and finally felt embarrassed to wear them out.

Not only the children cried, but the adults also regretted it. The young master of the Xia family held his hands very loosely, and there was no disadvantage in following him. Why couldn't they remember.

Don’t regret the school uniform anymore, Mr. Meng said, or wait until the second half of the year, when school starts again, the school uniform will be re-made, and then you will pay for it yourself.

Because of this, there are quite a few families who can't stand the trouble of their children, and have decided that if the harvest is good in the second half of the year, they will save up to send their children to school.

Xia Chen didn't expect that the batch of school uniforms he sent out on a whim would have such a good enrollment effect.

The young mother also likes her school uniform very much, and she is reluctant to take it off, but she is afraid that she will not be able to wear it for school tomorrow, so she pouted and prepared to change.

Xia Chen couldn't bear to see it. There's nothing wrong with a little girl liking good-looking clothes. Isn't it just a school uniform? Immediately he waved his hand, "Uncle, I'll make another set for you."

Before Youniang could cheer, she was suppressed by Qiaoniang together with Xia Chen, "Don't spoil her, she's too skinny."

Xia Chen shrank his head, he kept in mind that when parents discipline their children, as long as the general direction is correct, the elders cannot speak to the children based on their status, which will easily reduce the prestige of the parents.The specific manifestation is that parents discipline their children, grandparents take care of them, and then the parents' words don't work.

Although Xia Chen is not a grandparent, he is very effective at talking at home, so he never intervenes in the education of his brothers and sisters-in-law unless it is wrong.

The young lady was scolded, she kept looking at Xia Chen, expecting Xia Chen to speak for her, but Xia Chen didn't answer at all.After Qiaoniang finished the training, she comforted her, "If you can pass the top three in the next exam, I will do another set for you."

This time, Qiao Niang didn't stop her, and Young Niang walked away in confusion and anticipation.

After Dong Geer went out, he went to find the brothers who usually train together. Now they are used to group activities and have tasted the benefits of cooperation. According to their usual habits, one group manages one, and the villagers are notified to come out for a meeting.

Xia Chen's original words are very important to talk about today, not all family members need to be there, but one must be able to be in charge of the family and keep his word, and those who don't come will be dealt with by default.

Dong Ge'er and his group conveyed Xia Chen's meaning honestly. Some villagers had already gone to work in the fields. When the women and children who stayed at home heard this, they rushed to call the head of the family to come back.

Not long after, villagers came to the school playground to gather one after another. A simple platform was set up there. Xia Chen stood on it and saw that the people had almost arrived. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, no villagers came over again. Quiet villagers who are talking in low voices.

"I know everyone is very curious. Why did I come here with you?" Xia Chen glanced at the villagers below, most of them were confused, obviously they really didn't know what Xia Chen was going to do.In the other part, some looked away and expressed resistance, while others responded calmly and calmly.

Xia Chen: "Everyone has something to do, so I'll make a long story short. I said earlier that I wanted to build a city here for defense. At that time, I didn't ask for your opinions. Now I'm asking here, but if someone is unwilling, if they don't want to , Raise your hand and propose that all future city construction activities will have nothing to do with you, and you will not need to pay any labor and financial resources."

"Master Xia really won't cause trouble for us with his words," a villager asked below.

"Of course it is true." Xia Chen said.

The foolish people will definitely be tempted when they hear this condition. Immediately, those lazy and dawdling people want to raise their hands. Digging ditches a few days ago has exhausted them. Listen to what Xia Chen said, building a city requires labor.

As soon as he raised his hand, he was slapped down by the old man in the family, and reprimanded in a low voice, "You are stupid, you don't do anything in the city built by others, can people let you live? I don't want to drive you out and don't want to live anymore."

That bastard was clever, and immediately retracted his hand. He was lazy, but he didn't want to lose his life. If he was kicked out, there would be no way out alone.

This word was circulated among the villagers. Naturally, no one dared to raise their hands. Xia Chen asked again, but there was still no response.

"These days, there are occasional zombies invading. Some people should have seen them, but they were wiped out by them." He pointed to the patrol team "and wiped them out. They didn't let the zombies invade the village, protecting the villagers' personal property." Safety."

The villagers immediately cast grateful and admiring gazes at those people, and the three Dong Geer's playmates even puffed up their chests. They came to train, and the family would lose strong labor. I have heard a lot.

But at this moment, the grateful eyes of the neighbors and the proud eyes of the family members seemed to ignite a fire in their hearts, and finally understood what it was like to defend the country.

"I propose to set up a guard team. The guard team has the responsibility to patrol the territory, protect the neighbors, and eliminate the invading enemies. All members of the guard team should have a fixed monthly salary and disability subsidies. This expenditure will be collected from the city tax in the future Come out, do you have any opinions?"

The amount of information in his words is too large, and the villagers have not been able to digest it for a long time. Everyone must be willing to set up a guard team. After all, it is good for them to hear about those responsibilities.It is also necessary to get money every month. Killing zombies is a desperate effort.

But the latter sentence is the focus of the villagers' attention. Where does the city tax come from and who pays the tax?

After finally grasping the key point, some villagers asked tremblingly, "Master Xia, what tax?"

Xia Chen raised the corner of his mouth, "Land tax, agricultural tax, commercial tax, what industry do you pay and what tax, have you never paid tax before?"
