After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

It is different to have a horse. From Liujia Village to the county seat, there is no need to set off with a torch in the early morning before dawn.

Qin Yao went out after breakfast and saw the county gate in an hour.

After paying the city entrance fee and livestock care fee, and leaving the horse in the 'parking lot' at the city gate, Qin Yao took a look at the sky and saw that it was midday break and went straight to the academy to find Liu Ji.

From Liu Ji's point of view, it has not been many days since the two separated last time, and Qin Yao came again unexpectedly.

No one else was in the academy. Qin Yao waited at the back door of the academy for a long time before seeing several figures coming together, laughing constantly.

The few people walking in front were one in their early twenties and the other in their thirties, both of whom were accompanied by book boys.

After that, it was Liu Ji who made the two laugh.

He still had the same white shirt he had when he left home, but it had obviously been washed once, and the color was lighter. It was all supported by his face, so that it didn't show through in front of the embroidered cotton shirts of the two people in front. Poor.

Liu Ji's mouth sounds very useful to outsiders, as long as it's not directed at family members.

Somewhere, Liu Ji seemed to have a feeling, and when he rolled his eyes, he met Qin Yao's gaze in the corner.

His breath suddenly hitched.

First sent the two talented masters to the academy, then slipped out through the back door, came to Qin Yao, and asked nervously:
"My lady, why are you here?"

Fortunately, he had just driven away the pipa girl in the restaurant who insisted on following the scholar. Otherwise, Liu Ji would have imagined his own tragic end.

Qin Yao looked him up and down, and there was a vague smell of makeup and powder wafting from the tip of her nose. She raised her hand and slapped him, crossing her arms and sneering.

Before she asked, Liu Ji immediately confessed: "Madam, please don't misunderstand me! I swear, I didn't do anything sorry for you. This is just for entertainment. You don't know how strict those two scholars are. I worked hard for several days, and today they finally relented and were willing to copy the answers to the exam papers for me."

It is not difficult to find out the scientific examination questions over the years. The gentlemen in the academy have collected them. What is difficult is the answers, especially the answers written by the famous scholars.

The examination papers are not disclosed to the outside world, and only the adults in the Academic Affairs Department who correct the examination papers know what is going on.

Seeing his nervousness, Qin Yao laughed and said, "Why are you nervous, I won't hit you."

Liu Ji: "." But you have thought about it!

"Please help me inquire about something." Qin Yao waved to Liu Jifu and told him to go to his classmates to help inquire about the workshop.

Liu Ji was shocked after hearing this, "You want to build a workshop?"

Qin Yao nodded, impatient with his questioning, raised her chin toward the academy, "Go, I'll wait for you here."

She needs to find out first before she can decide whether to go to the government.

By the way, just to be on the safe side, Qin Yao decided to go to the restaurant and ask Shopkeeper Fan.

After watching Liu Ji enter the academy, Qin Yao turned around and went to the restaurant.

"You're here again. It's different now that you have a horse!" Shopkeeper Fan had no time to spare. He only had time to point to the backyard and signal Qin Yao to wait for him there.

It was a busy time in the restaurant, so Qin Yao waited for a long time before shopkeeper Fan came over.

Time is running out, Qin Yao didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked Shopkeeper Fan if he knew whether ordinary people need to register with the government and pay business taxes to build a small workshop by themselves.

"If you ask me, you are asking the right person!"

Shopkeeper Fan laughed and said: "The new law is much more relaxed for merchants. The small workshops you just mentioned don't need to go to the government. You just go to Li Zheng and report it to ensure that you don't do anything that violates discipline." .”

"So simple?" Qin Yao was a little dazed.Shopkeeper Fan nodded, "There have been many years of war, and now Shengguo needs to recuperate."

If the folks want to regain their vitality, the first thing to let go is the various restrictions on merchant groups.

The civil affairs at this time encouraged the activities of merchants. The strict control of the merchant class in the previous dynasty has now been completely relaxed.

In the past two years, Kaiyang County has become more and more prosperous, and most of the credit is due to small businesses and hawkers.

After receiving the accurate answer from Shopkeeper Fan, Qin Yao felt more confident when she came to the academy.

Liu Ji slipped out of the back door and informed her of the similar result.

But there is another clear law, that is, small business activities with no more than 20 people and annual income of less than 500 taels can now be exempted from relevant taxes by the court.

But it is only temporarily exempted, and it has not been specified when it will be reinstated.

"Madam, do you really want to build a water tanker plant?" Liu Ji asked excitedly.

Qin Yao knew what he was excited about and wanted to go home and eat soft food.

Beating in a cold voice, "Because you want to build a factory, you should study hard to get fame as soon as possible, so as to protect our family's property."

"I understand, I understand." Liu Ji raised his eyebrows. She was talking about our family, which means that he owns a share of the family's factory!
When it was time for class in the afternoon, Liu Ji saw Qin Yao asking about the situation and didn't mean to leave yet, only to realize something later.

Tentatively asked: "Miss, are you not leaving?"

"Let's go together after class. You go to class first. I'll take a walk around the city and come to pick you up later."

Qin Yao spoke very naturally, and made arrangements for him clearly, "Remember to ask for leave with your husband, anyway, it will be the Ghost Festival soon, and the busy farming leave and the Ghost Festival will be taken together. The five-day holiday is almost enough for our family to finish the rice harvest. "

As soon as Liu Ji heard about the autumn harvest, he put on a mask of pain on his face in advance. He wanted to return two days later because he could finish copying the answers to the exam questions given by the two scholars in these two days.

Qin Yao shook her head, "I'm very busy now. The autumn harvest must be completed as soon as possible so that I can concentrate on running the factory. The plan has changed. I'll give you a few more days. Don't worry about asking for leave. It's my fault that I couldn't bring the reference answer home this time. I won't kill you."

"Okay!" With her words, he felt relieved.

Liu Ji went back to finish his afternoon class, and then asked his husband for leave.

Qin Yao walked around the county town and bought a pound of salt and five pounds of rapeseed oil, a pot of sauce, and three pounds of meat.

Meat can't be kept in hot weather, so I can't buy much.

However, riding a horse is very fast, and if you want to eat meat, you can go to the town to buy it at any time, which is convenient.

Thinking that the next autumn harvest would definitely be very tiring, Qin Yao bought several pastries in a pastry shop to reward herself.

There are mung bean cakes, glutinous rice and brown sugar dumplings, lotus seed candies, and lotus sesame cakes, all of which are seasonal ingredients, so you can eat them fresh.

There are also sugar water shops on the street, which specialize in selling various drinks, such as sugar cane sugar water, sour plum soup, mung bean water, plum blossom wine, snow bubble shrinking spleen drink and so on.

The variety was beyond Qin Yao’s expectation.

She thought people in ancient times didn't have drinks to drink, but she didn't expect that not only did they have them, but they also had a wide variety of them.

She has never heard of the snow-soaked spleen-shrinking drink, and it looks very advanced.

After returning to the academy and waiting for Liu Ji to come out, he asked about it and found out that it was an iced herbal tea.
