Chapter 903 Dazhai Village(2/2)
"Let's talk about what taxes do you have before?"
"In addition to commission tax, it is this diary tax. At that time, my family paid the six-stone diary tax."
The chopsticks in Liu Wen stopped and asked, "Liu Shi?"
He turned his head to look at the broken house and asked again, "Where are six people in your family?"
"At that time, my grandma and grandma were still there. I had a second son. I was only two years old, but I still had to pay the tax on this tax, right? Later, my grandma and grandma were gone, but the county never crossed out their names. My family of three had to pay the tax on the tax on the six people..."
Even though it was a past event, Liu Wen was furious when he heard it.
The Ding tax is also called the cap tax, which has existed since the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the past, it was collected from adult Dingkou, while in the Chu Dynasty, children over three years old had to pay the Ding tax, and later, they became three-month-old babies.
These days, the rate of child death is extremely high. When they are born, they have to pay taxes, but when they die, they will not be erased...
When Liu Wen thought of this, the chopsticks in his hand trembled and the rabbit meat fell back into the bowl.
He asked again: "Thus, your family only has ten stones of grain left in a year, so how can you live?"
Chao Hei's ass said: "There are really ten stones of grain. The family may survive by eating it with tree bark. Lord Liu forgot that there are also grain taxes, tax adjustments, Liao pay, suppression pay, and training pay..."
Liu Wen hasn't spoken for a long time.
It was not until Chao Hei's butt said again: "This is still a good year. When it comes to a disaster, I can only borrow money... It's because my family can survive because of the great luck."
Liu Wen: "..."
He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "That age can't last."
"How can I survive? My grandfather gave the last piece of cake to the baby and starved to death."
Chao Hei's ass said this, and then pushed the rabbit meat on the table towards Liu Wen, saying, "If Lord Liu had not divided the fields for my family two years ago, I would have thought about it, and I would have to take my wife to rebel."
Liu Wen smiled when he heard these rebellious words.
"Tell me, what's the day now?"
Chao Hei wiped his eyes, slapped his thighs, and said, "Hey, I have thirty acres of land planted. I don't have to pay land tax for three years, and I don't have to pay land rent. Mr. Liu, do you think? Otherwise, I'll say that Mr. Liu is my benefactor!"
He said, smiling and said, "To be honest, I worked harder to grow my own fields and built a canal. Last year, I got more than 60 stone grains. My wife planted some sweet potatoes, raised some chickens, and planted some vegetables in the corners there. Life is so easy, but unfortunately, my grandfather hasn't survived until now..."
Liu Wen smiled slightly, with a little satisfied expression, and asked again: "Excluding the land tax, how many other taxes did you tax last year?"
Chao Hei's ass was a little proud, and when he was happy, he didn't think about it carefully, he said, "I have given you fourteen stones of grain."
Liu Wen frowned and asked, "Why do you want fourteen stones?"
"My family's six stone tax, three stone commission, one stone tax adjustment, and two stones to build canals for the village... By the way, I've also gone to build the canal for three months..."
"Where is the wage for the canal repair?"
"Wage? I'm going to build a canal for my own village, so why do I need it? When the fields are no longer busy this year, we have to build two more canals..."
Liu Wen asked again: "Fourteen stones of grain? Is it still used up to collect your fire? Is it so hot? Also, your family only has three people, and last year it should only pay the three-stone tax, and one stone tax is adjusted. Where did you get ten more stones?"
Chao Hei's ass was a slut. He realized something and started to squeak.
"Mr. Liu, you have worked hard to do it... Just look at our life getting better... Fourteen stones are not too much, I planted more than sixty stone grains last year..."
"A family has more than 40 stone grains left a year, which is just enough to eat. How good is it? I ask you, what about this year?"
"This year... I also need fourteen stones."
"What about next year?"
"Next year, we will add the four-stone field tax and eighteen stones."
"Four stone land tax?" Liu Wen said: "Your family's thirty acres of land should be the second stone land tax. I just told you, "Thirty taxes are one, why don't you understand it yet? Also, this year's tax on taxes are exempted and corvee labor is also exempted. There will be wages for work in the future... Do you know all this?"
"I..."
Liu Wen frowned and said, "The county in Dazhai Village is too far away. The food is collected by the Fan family. Did he collect these extra taxes?"
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Fan has divided so many fields two years ago, and he has to send someone to help transport grain every year. I think... it doesn't matter if I collect some fire consumption... Mr. Fan is still very good... I have enough harvest..."
Liu Wen shook his head and said, "If this continues, your family still has no surplus grain. What should you do when you encounter a deserted year? Don't you think about yourself or your children? You should have come to me to tell you about this."
"Mr. Liu, don't be angry... I really think it's already very good..."
After talking for a while, Chao Hei finally persuaded Liu Wen not to get angry anymore.
Liu Wen asked about some details and looked thoughtful...
After saying these things, he started to talk about other gossip.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that what kind of study did you get into the official position?"
Liu Wendao: "I am an official, not an official. Now I can become an official as long as I pass the official exam..."
"Have Lord Liu met King Jing'an?"
"That's not." Liu Wenhua saw this, his eyes glowed, and he said, "But in June this year, I will go to Jinan to study for a while, and maybe I will meet King Jing'an at that time."
"It's so good." Chao Hei's ass pushed the rabbit meat on the table again and asked hesitantly: "I heard that there are two more schools in the county... My child... that... can my child also send him to school?"
Liu Wen smiled, pointed at Chao Hei's butt and said, "I'll say that this Dazhai Village belongs to you the smartest."
"How is it? Can it be done?"
"I'll ask you, who will plant your land in the future?"
Chao Hei said, "I have thought about it. My wife has three younger brothers at home. Each of them has only ten acres of land. The youngest one can plant my land in the future. I will send my child to study... Lord Liu, do you think this is true?"
"Okay, as long as there are people in the land, I will do this for you..."
Chao Hei was overjoyed.
After saying this, Liu Wen stood up and left.
Chao Hei's ass sent him back, but he saw that the rabbit meat on the table was still left, but there was still a string of copper coins next to it.
He scratched his head, thinking that Lord Liu should be staying at Fan Yuanwai's house tonight, and he would have to send him this copper coin tomorrow.
The next day, Chao Hei's butcher went to Fan's house to find Liu Wen early in the morning, but he heard that Liu Wen had left Dazhai Village early in the morning and was going to Dingquan Village.
Chao Hei's ass held the string of money, thought about it, and decided to go to Dingquan Village...
After walking for more than an hour, he passed by a cliff and suddenly saw a medicinal farmer running over with a small hoe...
"Hurry...Look over there...there are corpses under that cliff..."
"Corpsy?"
Chao Hei's ass hurriedly followed the medicinal farmer to the cliff. When he saw the ground, he was stunned.
"Liu...Mr. Liu..."
With a "click", the copper coins in his hand fell to the ground...
The county sent another official sent a delegation to confirm that Liu Wen accidentally fell off the cliff.
The villagers from several villages burst into tears and set up a small ancestral hall on Dazhai Mountain.
After that, life in Dazhai Village was still peaceful.
It is too far from the county town, and the new officials have not been sent here, and everything is as quiet and quiet as before.
The villagers all talked about Liu Wen and often sighed and cried.
But in this high mountain and far away from the emperor, a small official disappeared, which actually didn't have much impact...
Only Chao Hei's butt was busy in the fields, looking at the newly green wheat seedlings, and he fell into deep thought from time to time.
When he came back that day, he threw down his hoe and said to his wife: "I want to go to the county."
Han Quer said in a daze: "What are you going to do?"
"Mr. Liu was killed..."
Han Quer was startled and said in surprise: "You are crazy! You said he died of falling to death. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"Why don't I understand? Lord Liu has such a big hole on his body, how can a man say he fell to death?"
"That was stabbed by the stones on the mountain. Are you crazy..."
Chao Hei's ass didn't agree and walked out with his head down.
After walking for half a day, he walked to a fork in the road. To the north was to Pingyin County, and to the east were not sure where he could go.
Chao Hei scratched his head and felt a little confused.
"Can the county magistrate listen to me as a mud-legged?"
When I turned my head again, I saw an unreasonable young man squatting on the edge of the field and chatting with an old farmer. There were several big men standing next to me.
Chao Hei's ass thought of Liu Wen when he saw this scene. His eyes were sore and he unconsciously stepped over.
"How many scoops of food did the father-in-law hand over last year?"
"I handed over sixteen stones..."
Just as I had time to listen to two conversations between the young man and the old farmer, Chao Hei's ass was stopped by two big men before he even walked up to them.
When the young man heard the movement, he turned his head and looked at Chao Hei's ass, showing a very gentle smile...
