Splendid Farm: Niangzi loves farming

Chapter 176 What Are You Going To Do?

Aunt Shuanzi said: "He's called shameful. If we don't accept it, we have to sue, but then he will say that our family has planted other people's land. With a large population, the land rent will naturally be high. At that time, we will have one A hundred mouths can't tell."

Hearing this, Mo Qianqian opened the door and walked in, looked at the two mothers and said, "Mother, second aunt, you don't have to worry, I have my own way."

Three days passed peacefully like this, and early in the morning of the third day, Mo Qianqian got up early and came to Zuo Yishu's home.

Zuo Yishu and Prince Liao were still lying on the bed and sleeping, Mo Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in.The two people lying on the kang in a daze opened their eyes, and when they saw it was Mo Qianqian, Zuo Yishu opened his eyes wide, looked at Mo Qianqian and asked, "How did you get in here?" Yes, I remember that I hung the door when I went to bed last night."

Hearing Zuo Yishu's question, Mo Qianqian glared at him, and said: "The door you hang can still prevent thieves, you are joking, that's all right, since you wake up, get up quickly, today is the time My family owns land rent and headcount. You two, get up and help me."

Hearing this, Prince Liao, who was lying on the kang, said: "We can get up, you are a girl, do you go out and wait for a while, and the two of us still put on our clothes?"

After hearing this, Mo Qianqian looked at them and smiled, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go out right away, you two don't dawdle, hurry up."

The words fell and walked out.

After a short time, Prince Liao and Zuo Yishu walked out, only to see Zuo Yishu's face full of reluctance, and Prince Liao's son looked peaceful.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Mo Qianqian said, "Let's go, go back and have breakfast, we'll be here in a while."

The three returned to Mo Qianqian's house.After breakfast, Mo Qianqian looked at the rice piled up in the yard and said, "Shuanzi, you're almost ready, so we can't just wait for Lizheng to pay the land rent. We have to do what we have to do. How about You and Zuo Yishu carried the rest of the rice to the stone mill, we are still grinding rice today."

After hearing this, Shuanzi nodded and agreed to go directly to the place where the rice bags were stacked.

Hearing this, Zuo Yishu frowned, looked at Mo Qianqian and said, "You really didn't let go of any effort, and then reluctantly went to carry the rice.

Mo Qianqian led the elk and put it on the stone mill.I started to grind the rice, and at this moment I heard the Prince of Liao ask, "How do you plan to solve it when it comes in a while, the imperial grain and national tax must be paid. You can't escape this."

Hearing what the prince of Liao said, Mo Qianqian glanced at him and thought, isn't it? Of course you support me to pay the money. The more we ordinary people pay, the richer you will be.

Thinking of this, Mo Qianqian said: "If you don't pay it, he is robbing it openly at this time. The poll tax is one tael per person. I won't pay it today, or let him take my head off."

Hearing Mo Qianqian's words, Prince Liao frowned, thinking that it would be a headache if this girl came up with such a mess.

While Prince Liao was thinking about it, Lord Li Zheng led the young boy from yesterday to the door of Mo Qianqian's house with a plate, and was about to open the door and walk in, when Mo Qianqian shouted: "My lord, here we are in the front yard."

Lizheng heard Mo Qianqian's shout, turned around and saw that Mo Qianqian, Shuanzi and others were in the front yard, so he opened the door and walked in.

Ri was watching them busy grinding rice.Looking at Mo Qianqian, he said, "Qianyu, look at the land rent and taxes, can you pay them?"

After listening, Mo Qianqian looked at Lizheng and smiled, and asked, "How much is Lizheng?"

Hearing Mo Qianqian's question, Lizheng said, "Ten taels of silver, didn't I tell you before?"

After Mo Qianqian listened, she led the elk and stopped grinding.Looking at Lizheng, he said, "Can it be less? You see, our family doesn't have much land, and there are so many mouths waiting to eat, but your ten taels of silver leaves are a bit high."

Hearing what Mo Qianqian said, Lizheng looked at her with a smile and said, "Qianyu! It's not that I don't have a lot, but the government stipulates that the land tax is two taels of silver per household, and the poll tax is one tael of silver per person. You Doesn't this embarrass me?"

Hearing the truth, Mo Qianqian looked at him for a while and said: "Master Lizheng, you are wrong to say that. You know how our Gousheng and Niuniu came to my house. They are orphans. It is well known at this time that the government should give them some relief, but I took them in and helped you officials reduce a lot of burden. If you don’t thank us, forget it, and return it to my house; come to ask for poll tax .Isn't this too outrageous?"

Lizheng heard what Mo Qianqian said, and for a moment, he didn't know how to get back. He looked at Mo Qianqian for a long time and said, "One yard is one yard, and the tax is paid. You can say whether you will pay today or not!"

After listening, Mo Qianqian looked at Lizheng and said, "It's just two taels of tax money, nothing else. If you want to collect it, I'll leave it to you. If you don't collect it, I have nothing to do."

Li Zheng heard what Mo Qianqian said, thought for a while and said, "Then you hand over the two taels of silver first! I can let you wait for a few more days for the rest."

After hearing this, Mo Qianqian said, "Very well, I will hand over the land tax money to you."

After speaking, he looked at Shuanzi.Shuanzi immediately understood what it meant, and immediately took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lizheng.Li Zheng came to look at the money Shuan Zi handed over, smiled and dragged it into his pocket, and left without saying anything.

Seeing this, Prince Liao said, "You handed it over so easily?"

Mo Qianqian said: "I pay land tax, didn't you hear what he said, do I still owe poll tax?"

After listening, Zuo Yishu put down the rice he was carrying and asked, "Then when are you going to pay the poll tax?"

After hearing this, Mo Qianqian smiled and said, "No, we'll finish grinding the rice in the past few days and sell the rice. Then he can ask for whatever he wants. I'll just say one word, no."

After listening to Mo Qianqian's words, Zuo Yishu burst out laughing, and said, "Mo Qianqian, Mo Qianqian didn't see it! Do you know how to do this?"

Hearing Zuo Yishu's words, Mo Qianqian glared at him, and said: "This means that if officials don't force people, it doesn't matter whether they understand or not."

After the words fell, everyone hacked to death and was busy with their own work. It was past noon without knowing it. Originally, they planned to grind the remaining few bags of rice in a greedy afternoon, so that they could buy some rice in the village in the afternoon.

But Mo Qianqian had a good plan, but was confused by a few people who suddenly came into the yard. He saw Lizheng leading a few people into the yard, each with bags in their hands.

Seeing this, Mo Qianqian asked, "Master Lizheng, what are you going to do?
