Chapter 244
"If you are willing to pay three times the tax for your mother, then you can reconcile." Meng Xizhou said.

Gu Miao, "... triple the tax?"

She held out three fingers and shook them.

Meng Xizhou nodded, "There are three things to pay for taxes: food, linen, and household tax."

"The "Dafeng Law" stipulates that only adult men can obtain land. Your mother is a woman and has no land, but if you pay taxes, you have to pay taxes according to the amount of [-] acres of land."

"If a total of [-] catties of grain is harvested from [-] acres of land, most people only need to pay [-]%, which is [-] catties, but your mother has to pay [-]%, which is [-] catties."

"Each linen family needs to pay three horses, and your mother has to pay nine horses."

"Household tax is money. This is collected according to the amount of each family's property. There are poor people in our village. They only need to pay the lowest level. Each family pays five hundred copper coins every year. Your mother has to pay fifteen hundred cash. "

"In addition, after the autumn harvest every year, I have to serve a month of corvee. If I don't want to go, I can pay money to be exempted from the service. Normally, I pay [-] Wen, and your mother has to pay [-] Wen."

Gu Miao "..."

In other words, if Jiang Xiu established himself as a female household, even if he had no land, he would have to pay [-] catties of grain, nine bolts of linen and three thousand copper coins every year.

For poor people, it is indeed a heavy tax!
Gu Tang was also dumbfounded, forgot to cry, and looked at Meng Xizhou with red eyes, her little face was full of helplessness.

So many things!
How to do?
"Hand it up!" Gu Miao didn't hesitate much, and still chose to reconcile, as if she was spending money to buy cleansing.

With the tofu business, she can afford it.

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Miao hadn't changed his mind, Meng Xizhou entered the house, talked to Yun Mo, and then pushed the cart to the thatched cottage.

At the thatched cottage, Jiang Xiu was silent, Gu Fushun was stammering explanations, Gu Tian was crying, seeing Meng Xizhou coming, Jiang Xiu's skinny and old face showed confusion, and Gu Tian ran over to hug Gu Miao, "Sister..."

Gu Miao rubbed his little head, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

Seeing this, Gu Fushun's mouth trembled a few times, "Xiao Miao, you..."

"Don't you want to be filial to grandma? I'll ask my husband to send you there so that you can be filial to her every day."

"I, my leg..."

"You can accept 20 taels of filial piety money if your legs are not good, so you must be filial to grandma." Gu Miao said and looked at Meng Xizhou, "Sir, carry him onto the cart."

Meng Xizhou hummed for a lifetime, and walked towards Gu Fushun with long legs.

"Wait!" Jiang Xiu hurriedly stopped Meng Xizhou when she saw this, and she looked at Gu Miao, "Xiao Miao, let's leave... Where do I live? Where's Xiaotang Xiaotian?"

"You and Xiaotang Xiaotian live here. When the spring of next year comes, let's buy a piece of land from the village chief. When the house is built, you and Xiaotang Xiaotian will live in it."

On the way here just now, Meng Xizhou explained in detail the issues related to female households. If a female household is established, the household registration can be freely chosen, but the homestead has to be bought by oneself.

Jiang Xiu heard the words, and the confusion on her face became more confused, "Then, then... Then what if your grandma disagrees?"

"It's not her turn to control, as long as you agree."

Hearing the words, Jiang Xiu let out another oh, and after a moment of silence, asked again, "What about paying taxes?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll hand it over." Gu Miao answered vaguely, so that Jiang Xiu wouldn't want to reconcile after hearing all that.

Seeing this, Gu Tang pursed her little mouth tightly. Is her mother unwilling to reconcile?
