Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 76

At this time, it was the end of September, and in the last few days of the autumn tiger, more than a dozen officers were driving an ox cart, and a canopy was specially built on the ox cart to prevent the sudden rain and the grain from being soaked by the rain.

Before the officers entered the village, they were discovered by the working people. No one dared to delay. The village chief was called the village chief, and the one who led the way led the way. Almost soon, everyone returned home.

Jiang Hu also took his wife and children home and tidy up the house briefly.

When the officers collect tax food, they will check the house to see if there is any food that is secretly hidden.

Of course, it is generally not too stupid to do this. After all, as long as you are found to have hidden grain, you will have to pay [-]% of the grain tax for the next three years!

It is not the first time for everyone to pay grain tax, except for millet, so they don’t feel nervous, as long as the guards weigh all the grain in the family and divide the tax grain to be collected.

On the other hand, Tie Dan doesn't know anything, only knows that he is going home to play, happy~
There is only Xiaomi, who has never seen such a thing before, looking at the direction of the village eagerly, imagining what it is like to collect tax food.

However, Xiaomi's curious expression was directly misunderstood by Erniang.

"Don't be afraid of millet, the officials will leave after receiving the grain, and they won't harvest it indiscriminately. There is a lot of grain at home, so don't be afraid."

Erniang thought that Millet was afraid that there would be no food at home.

Xiaomi shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

Three tenths, there are still more than 1000 catties of corn left.

The yield of sorghum was low, only two to three hundred catties per mu of land. The heavy rain lost a lot. Their family’s five mu of sorghum land added up to only [-] catties of sorghum.

In this way, even if the family paid the tax grain, there would still be nearly [-] catties of grain left!

With so much food, I feel very relieved just thinking about it!

More than a dozen officers, of course, would not be able to collect them one by one. After taking the list from the village chief's house, they divided them into several directions and acted alone.

So it didn't take long for Xiaomi to see that there were four people in uniform, with a stick-like weapon pinned to their waists.

She thought that just like in TV, each of these officers would be equipped with a big knife, but she soon realized that TV is TV after all, and only a few people act in TV.

There are estimated to be 10,000+ servants of the imperial court in total, each with a knife, how much iron is needed.

Iron is a rare thing, and it is also a strategic material.

The four of them drove the bullock cart, and there was a big and big scale on the bullock cart.

After entering the yard, the man in the lead held a piece of paper in his hand: "Isn't it Jiang Hu's house?"

Jiang Hu nodded again and again: "I am what I am, the official is thirsty, this is a hot day, drink some water first."

As he spoke, he handed over a small cloth bag: "Fu'an Village is not near, I'm bothering everyone to come all the way here, be careful, when you go back to town, the elder brothers have a few sips of wine and rest."

The man in the lead weighed it, ding ding dong dong, at least a dozen copper coins, with a bit of a smile on his face.

"I have the heart, but this is all our work, and it's not hard work."

Erniang had already arrived for a few bowls of tea, still chrysanthemum tea. Jiang Hu brought a bowl to each of them. It was probably because of the face of the copper plate.

Maybe he was really thirsty, or maybe the chrysanthemum tea tasted good. The four officers drank the tea before they patted their clothes and stood up.

"I've had the tea, and I've had a good rest. Brother Jiang, let's get down to business."

"Okay, my family's grain is here. It rained heavily a few days ago, and some sorghum was lost, so it may be less."

Jiang Hu didn't hesitate, and took a few officers directly to the room where the food was placed.

Seeing the big bags of sorghum and corn, several officers were shocked: "Huh, so many?"

After speaking, he looked at the note in his hand: "Your family really only has three and a half acres of corn and three acres of sorghum?"

They have already passed through other villages, and the six acres of land cannot receive so much grain.

Especially in Fu'an Village, where refugees are reclaiming wasteland, the harvest will only be lower!

Jiang Hu smiled and said, "It's also good luck this year. The harvest is good. By the way, there are still more than ten kilograms here. I specially selected a few good corn seeds, do you want to weigh them together?"

It stands to reason that this is needed. More than ten corns must be paid for three kilograms.

However, the headed officer waved his hand directly: "You don't have to be so meticulous, that's all, brother, you can help, we finish the work early, and you can do other things."

Probably because Jiang Hu was too calm, the officers did not go to other houses to check to see if Jiang Hu was still hiding.

I don't know if I don't weigh it, but I was shocked when I said it, the corn and sorghum added up, there are more than 2000 close to [-]!

After counting the grain tax and moving it to the bullock cart outside, there are still more than 700 catties of grain left!

"Brother Jiang, your family has a lot of grain, do you want to sell some? The price is the same as what the grain farm is now charging, so I won't treat you badly."

Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment, Erniang pulled his sleeve: "Brother Hu."

I said before that I wouldn't sell it, so I kept it at home for my own food.

Xiaomi pushed his chair and ran over: "Daddy, sell it, sell it!"

Anyway, so far, no one has come to gossip about how much grain they have received and sold some, but don't sell too much. When people ask again, they will say that they have sold it and only keep their own food!
"Xiaomi, why are you here?" Erniang quickly picked Xiaomi up.

The officer had seen a few children from this family before, but he didn't care, but when he saw Xiaomi's move, he was greatly surprised.

"This kid is really smart, this is for you to sell something, but if you want me to say, Brother Jiang, you have so much food in your family, you will definitely not be able to eat it all. If you stay at home, it will be easy to be missed. It is better to sell it. it is good."

Erniang coaxed Xiaomi to go to the side, looking at Jiang Hu anxiously, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Sell, half of the remaining grain is sold, just a few big brothers. If someone asks later, can you not say how much grain my family has?"

This request was somewhat inexplicable. The officers looked at each other and didn't quite understand what Jiang Hu meant.

Jiang Hu didn't need them to understand, he quickly trotted into the house, came out quickly, took another handful of copper plates, and stuffed five in his hand.

As a result, the officers didn't say anything, and nodded: "Yes, if someone really asks, they will say that your family is sold out, and only two or three hundred catties of rations are left."

Jiang Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I would like to thank the big brothers. We will weigh the grain first, and sell half of the remaining grain!"

Even if it sells half of it, there are still eight or nine hundred catties, enough for the family to eat for a year or two, not to mention that after another month, you can grow wheat, so you don’t have to worry about the food problem at all!
