Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 80
The so-called calculation of Fu and mouth money refers to poll tax.

Since Gaozu, the imperial court has stipulated that if the family members are between 55 and [-] years old, everyone is required to pay [-] Wen per person.

The mouth money is a tax for minors, between the ages of three and 14, and each person has to pay [-] Wen.

This is already the result of the court's reduction of taxes.

There are eleven adults in the Ning family, and seven minors.

In previous years, a total of 580 cash had to be paid.

Although it is not a huge amount of money, it is enough to make people feel painful.

This year, because of Ning Dani's marriage, the eldest son's family has been separated, and the money that needs to be paid has suddenly decreased a lot.

This is why most people hope to marry girls earlier.If it is delayed until the girl reaches the age of 15, the amount of money that needs to be paid will increase.

Mrs. Ning Zhou calculated the accounts, and immediately felt that it was too wise to distribute the loss-making goods of the eldest son's family.

"Well, Li Zheng, we don't know how to settle accounts either. Calculate it, how much will we have to pay this year?" Mrs. Ning Zhou also said emphatically, "My eldest son is divided, and they have to pay for it themselves. "

"Let them go!" Ning Bailian yelled angrily when she recovered.

With that voice, the ears of those who shouted were buzzing.

"Ning Bailian, shut up!" Liu Danfeng glanced at her coldly, "My father and I are here to deal with business, if you keep yelling, I'll throw you out!"

"..." Ning Bailian shut up.

She would never dare to provoke this little bully in the village.

Li was here, and the Ning family didn't dare to say anything.

"Let me do the math for you." Li Zheng took out an abacus, played it crackling for a while, and twisted his beard and said, "This year you paid less, a total of 420 Wen."

Mrs. Ning Zhou was a little happy when she heard this, but then began to worry again, "Lizheng, you know the situation in our family, can you wait for a few days?"

"Oh, that's not okay." Li Zheng shook his head seriously, "This is collected by the court. If you don't hand it in, the government will not be able to justify it. The amount is not too much, so save it. Don't make things difficult for me." gone."

Ning Zhou also knew in his heart that who would dare not pay the taxes collected by the court?

The betrothal gift she received from Liu Xiucai was still there, so she had to take out part of it first and hand it over anyway.

Lizheng collected the money, registered it, and looked at Liu Chunhua: "His aunt, your family has to pay by itself this year."

Liu Chunhua covered the wound on her cheek with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Lizheng will do the math, and you can pay as much as you need."

Li was holding his abacus and said with a smile, "That's simple. There are three adults and two children in your family... a total of 160 Wen."

"Li Zheng, let them pay for Dayong and that woman by themselves. All Dayong's money is given to that woman." Liu Chunhua knew that it would be embarrassing to say this, but there was nothing she could do, she just lowered her head and said sullenly , "I can only pay for me and my two children."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng asked, "The one brought back by Dayong is called Wu Xiangxiu, right? Since it is registered, it has to be handed in. Where is she?"

"Who called me?" Wu Xiangxiu stopped her stomach and walked out of the room slowly.

"Wu Xiangxiu, it's time to hand over the Fu. You and Ning Dayong, a total of eighty Wen." Li Zheng said directly.

"What, do you want me to give you money? I don't have any money!" Wu Xiangxiu refused straight away, then turned to look at Liu Chunhua, "Shouldn't my sister give you the money?"

"I gave you all of Ning Dayong's money. It stands to reason that you should even give us our share." Ning Xianxian said.

"Where do I have money? If you don't believe me, go and search!" Wu Xiangxiu relied on her big belly and looked like a shrew, and made up her mind that she would never spend a penny.

Li Zheng hated such shrews the most, and looked directly at his son.

"Don't take the money?" Liu Danfeng laughed, "I don't want to see what the young master does all day long, can't I deal with you?"

He put the purse on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, looked at Ning Xianxian, and asked, "Ning Xiaosi, where is this shrew's house?"

Ning Xianxian stretched out his hand very cooperatively: "That window is the one with the letter "Happy" on it."

"Got it!"

Liu Danfeng rushed over like a locust, turned Wu Xiangxiu's house upside down, and came out with a money bag.

Everyone: "..."

Is this called collecting money?
This is a robbery!
Wu Xiangxiu almost fainted from anger, and shouted, "Why are you like this?"

"You asked me to go into the house to search just now?" Liu Danfeng was so thick-skinned, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the crowd, "Hey, they are all witnesses! How dare you resist **** Xianxian holding his arms , nodded: "That's right. "

Wu Xiangxiu: "..."

Those who sing in unison are fatal!
Liu Danfeng directly counted 160 coins from the purse, "These belong to Ning Dayong's family."

"No need, we pay by ourselves." Ning Xianxian returned to the house, took out a handkerchief, took out [-] Wen coins, and handed them to Liu Danfeng, "These belong to the three of us."

Liu Danfeng glanced at her in surprise, said nothing, took it over, and asked Li Zheng to register.

When Ning Zhou and the others saw that she could take out the money casually, they couldn't help being very surprised: "Xianxian, didn't you buy garlic with your money? Where did these come from?"

Ning Xianxian said calmly: "I don't seem to need to explain this to you, do you? Didn't you say it yourself, the family is separated, each has its own life, no one cares about anyone else!"

"Hmph." Mrs. Ning Zhou pulled a stinky face.

After the money was collected smoothly, Lizheng left with his son satisfied.

Mrs. Gao took Ning Bailian back to the house, while Mrs. Ning Zhou stared at Liu Chunhua, not allowing her to put things in the yard.

Liu Chunhua had no choice but to pile up all the things her little daughter had worked so hard to plant outside.

The room is not spacious at all, so there is no place to turn around.

Going on like this is not an option.

Besides, the family has run out of money and rice has bottomed out.

The mother and daughter discussed it and decided to go to the town the next day to sell the garlic sprouts.

The next day was bright, Ning Xianxian didn't sleep well all night, and woke up early.Hearing a few roosters crowing outside, he got up, dressed and combed his hair, and prepared to go to town.

Without a donkey cart, they could only walk. If they couldn't make it early in the morning, they would lose all the people in the market when they reached the town.

Besides, the garlic sprouts need to be fresher to look good.

In the morning, it is still a bowl of gruel, which cannot fill the stomach, but it will not starve to death.

The three mother and daughter carried baskets on their backs, took advantage of Bo Xi's words in the morning mist, left Liuwan Village, and set off for the town.

For dozens of miles, the three of them walked for a while and rested for a while. Halfway through, they were too tired to walk anymore.

Ning Xianxian had been running and farming all day long, and Ning Caicai was thin and weak, panting from exhaustion, with stars in front of her eyes.Once the basket is put down, it cannot be picked up again.The soreness of the two legs is not like his own.

Ning Xianxian was about to help her share some of the burden, when she heard the clacking of horseshoes behind her.
