Li Er carried two large bundles of wheat straw and walked steadily towards the village. The large bundles of wheat straw almost hid him inside. From a distance, it looked like two bundles of wheat straw were walking by himself.

Li Er was very tired. The wheat straw that had not yet been cut off was not light. Moreover, the wheat ears of the good-quality wheat were very solid and the wheat stems were very thick and tall. This kind of pick weighed 200 kilograms.

However, no matter how tired he is, he cannot hide the joy in Li Er's heart. For many years, it has been either drought or floods, or war or man-made disasters. Since he was sensible, it has been 20 or 30 years since he was suffering every year, he has not had enough food or clothing, and has a worry of life. He has never been as happy as he is now.

When Li Er was assigned to the resettlement village in Funing by the government, he was reluctant to come. After all, Funing is too close to Shanhaiguan. In the early years, he suffered repeated military disasters, countless casualties, and countless people were abducted.

After settling in Funing, the government forced the implementation of high-yield and excellent varieties. At that time, countless people resisted like Li Er.

But now, all doubts have disappeared, and all my heart is full of gratitude.

King Xia is the blue sky for ordinary people!

He held up a shoulder pole and stood on the side of the road to rest, while secretly calculating the harvest.

In recent years, there are only three people left in Li Er's family, one old mother and one son. Three people have 60 acres of land. Earlier, because he was in a hurry, he couldn't plant it and only planted thirty acres.

The government said that the per mu production capacity is more than ten stones, and the thirty acres are at least three hundred stones, which is...at least tens of thousands of kilograms.

He thought for a moment, but he didn't figure out how much he could get. But it must be a lot.

Tens of thousands of kilograms, half of the tax, and tens of thousands of kilograms. I heard that the food on the market is worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?

New money is worth it. Those scholars say that one hundred dollars can be used as more than one tael of silver. This way, this harvest is worth more than one hundred taels of silver!

Now that prices are flat, those who are surrendered by the government are obeyed, according to this calculation, the harvest of this season alone can be easily used for one year.

I still remember when the worldly affairs were pretty good in the early years, their family spent less than ten or twenty taels of silver a year.

Now the food in a season is worth more than 100 taels of harvest, which is unimaginable in the past!

Although the agricultural tax of King Xia was heavy, there were no harsh donations and miscellaneous taxes. He only had one tax a year, and the rest was all his own.

It’s just a pity that my family lacks manpower, so I can’t plant 60 acres.

In addition to farming, there are many places for input. The government has long been recruiting workers to build canals, water conservancy, roads, post stations, and elementary school, and what we need is manpower. As long as we go, we can work for money one day and one day, it will be a good input!

The new money is so cute. Li Er felt happy when he thought about the more than 100 yuan he exchanged in Funing City two days ago.

After a while, Li Er was about to continue carrying the load and move forward. Not far away was the resettlement village where his family was located. It was located by a small river next to the newly built official road.

Speaking of this official path, he has made efforts.

A ox cart caught up from behind, Li Er looked back and couldn't help but shout, "Village Chief."

It turned out to be the village chief they resettled.

The village chief looked not old, but he looked strong in his twenties or thirties, but he had one eye missing. It was clear that a scar cut from the bridge of his nose across his left eye and spread to the corner of his eyes. The scar was not long, but it was extremely serious.

This is a soldier who retreated from the army.

There were only about two or three hundred people like him who had retired from the army. They were all assigned to various resettlement villages to be village heads.

Ying Yi's army experienced various battles, but the number of casualties was not large. Armor equipped with teeth protected them. However, some were unlucky, either being shot in the eye by a rift arrow, or being injured by a knife and a gun.

Most of them are this place, because except for the eyes, other places are strictly protected.

After destroying Abatai, Ying Yi's army was injured by only a thousand people. Most of them were taken away by the Ministry of War and the Imperial Court, and a small part was assigned to resettlement villages by the Massachusetts' Court.

Because they have been discharged from the army, they are all considered rich. For example, the village chief in front of them will give him 10,000 new money at one time after he is discharged from the army.

This is how he came from this ox cart. Otherwise, he would have picked it slowly with his shoulders, just like Li Er.

The village chief listened to the voice: "It's Brother Li's second brother."

Li Erdao: "It's a villain."

He was quite envious of the village chief's ox cart, but he also knew that it was someone who exchanged his life on the battlefield.

"How did your wheat be harvested?" The village chief stopped the ox driveway: "If you are too busy, just say something."

Li Er grinned: "If you want, you want to get it."

The village chief said again: "After the grain is collected, it is ready to be collected earlier. From August 15th, taxes will be collected."

"I'm going to collect it in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Er said: "Isn't you going to pick Funing?"

The village chief said: "No, no, no. At that time, the tax department will go directly to the entrance of the village to collect it."

"That's fine." Li Er laughed: "If you pick it yourself, you can't pick tens of thousands of pounds for ten or twenty days."

"That's true." The village chief smiled: "Now, every household doesn't charge tens of thousands of pounds? There are 100,000 pounds. Those who carry shoulders and backs can't stand it. I just heard this from my comrades in the next village. At most, people from the Taxation Department will come to the village to notify everyone tomorrow. Some of the Taxation Department's carriages and horses are collected along the official road, so there is no need for the villagers to pick them up to the county town themselves."

After chatting for a while, the village chief said, "We can't finish the food now. I heard that the Shangfeng government has planned to promote the maintenance of six animals. Now there is no shortage of food and meat. If we can raise more chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep earlier, it will definitely be very easy to sell."

When Li Er heard this, he felt enlightened: "Really?"

"It's probably true." The village chief said: "If you don't believe it, you will wait for it. At most ten days and a half months, the county will definitely have official documents."

"It's really easy to sell?" Li Er was already moved, but he was worried about asking again.

"It must be easy to sell." The village chief said: "I tell you that the needs of the army alone cannot be met by one or two places. What's more, now everyone has food and money, who doesn't want to eat meat?"

"Then I'll go back and think about getting some chickens and kids to raise them first." Li Er said cautiously.

At this moment, smoke and dust rose from the distance of the official road, and the ground began to vibrate slightly. The village chief was the first to see it, and was stunned, then he showed excitement and said, "Hurry, hurry up, let the roadside, let the roadside!"

Li Er was stunned for a moment and heard the village chief say, "The army is here!"

Only then did Li Er see the smoke rising from the distance and feel the vibration of his feet. He hurriedly carried the carry and went to the side of the road to watch with the village chief who drove the ox cart to the side of the road.
