Chapter 363: Life in Farming
Now it has been ten days since the Hongling messenger set off, and it is estimated that Chang'an has already received the news, and I don't know what Li Yuan and King Qin will be scared of, and whether there is a quarrel in the court......
Hey, who would have thought that the plague in Hanzhong City would not come sooner or later! Do you have to wait until Xiao Han sets off with three crops of rice?
But in this way, Chang'an will definitely respond quickly, and any powerful doctor will be sent! When the time comes, you may be able to come up with a way to solve this problem!
I talked about the speculation in my heart, so that he could rest assured. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Han pretended to be relaxed and said: "Now, as long as you can stabilize your condition, it will be a great achievement!" Go back and tell the others that when the plague is gone, it will be the time to reward your deeds!" ”
"But ......"
"No, do a good job, we won't forget you!"
Dropping this sentence in his previous life, he heard the calloused words in his ears, Xiao Han dragged Xiao Qi to the side and ran to the kitchen!
"But...... I'm not talking about this ......" Ye Lu was stupid, watching Xiao Han's figure disappear behind the wooden house, with a look of tears on his face......
"Sample! Play with me, you can pay off! Running to the back of a wooden house without stopping, Xiao Han carefully stretched out his head to watch Ye Lu stomp a few feet before returning to the convoy, he couldn't help laughing, straightened up and hummed a little song and walked back.
The current Xiao Han is no longer a stunned young man who has just arrived, this Yelu is obviously a guy with a story. When we first met, I saw that this person was arrogant, and now he deliberately came to flatter himself, to say that he didn't ask for anything, and the stupid donkey couldn't believe it!
"Hey, one more thing, it's better to have one less thing......"
Xiao Han hummed a little song and shook his head into the kitchen, there is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves! This kind of troublesome thing, how can a smart person like us make it up by himself?
Xiao Hancong is not smart, and the cook doesn't know. But it is really rare to see a Hou Ye who loves to arch into the kitchen like him. But fortunately, now he went into the kitchen just to see, or guide, and he couldn't do it.
There's no way, only Ren Qing is qualified to eat his cooking here, and this product is still unaccustomed to being idle and not doing business. The only possibility of cooking for him is that Ren Qing is chattering while eating! Xiao Han didn't do this heartless thing.
You can't cook here, you can't go out and play, and the rest seems to have to help with the work. But the heavens can learn from it! I have lived two lifetimes, and this is the first time I have seen rice! Where will these jobs be done?
And not to mention anything else, looking at the muddy water in the field, Xiao Han was stunned, who knows if there are water snakes and leeches under the invisible water surface? Being bitten by those things makes me panic just thinking about it!
The Sui and Tang dynasties were all based on farming, and it seemed that everyone would fiddle with the crops a few times. According to the people in charge of the agricultural superintendent, even the emperor and empress had to take the minister of civil and military affairs to plough the land for a day during the spring ploughing to show how much she attached importance to farming.
Of course, Xiao Han thinks that this kind of national affairs will be left behind. Turning to farming is purely idle egg pain!
If there is a specialization in the art industry, the emperor should think about who to fight today and who to fight tomorrow!
The minister should follow the emperor's ass and help him come up with a good idea or a bad idea!
And an idle marquis like himself can instruct others to complete his task, it is beautiful, and a fool can do it himself......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is setting. After a day's work in the fields, people returned, washed their hands and faces in the clean sink, and went outside the kitchen to wait for the meal to be served.
Washing hands is a mandatory requirement for Xiao Han, if you don't wash your hands, you won't have anything to eat, this is a hard rule! Xiao Han really doesn't want to have a plague or something on his side, so the health problem must definitely be taken seriously!
After the continuous replenishment of personnel in the past few days, there are now forty or fifty people here in the paddy field, and there is always a large area when it comes to eating! A few long long tables barely sat down. Except for half of the guards, the rest are all good farmers sent by Yuan Dake.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, three kinds of taxes were used to adjust rents, as long as they were registered. It is necessary to pay for food, cloth, and twenty days of free labor every year! Of course, soldiers who have soldiers at home can also be exempted from taxes, which is also the fundamental reason for the prevalence of the military in the Sui and Tang dynasties!
If a person in the family is a soldier to fight, not only does the family no longer have to pay taxes, but also have money! The key is that if you are lucky, you can still glorify your ancestors if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky and die on the battlefield, these are not considered, who doesn't think about the benefits?
Rent and adjustment are all paid for and financed, and Yong is like these people now. Just work with all your strength, and you don't even need Xiao Han to pay for it!
Xiao Han saw these people working hard at the beginning, and wanted to pay them some wages, but before he could finish speaking, he was dragged behind by Ren Qing covering his mouth.
"Xiao Hou, what are you doing here?!" Ren Qing yelled at Xiao Han with a black face.
Xiao Han's face was inexplicable: "Give money, what's wrong?" As for such a big reaction? ”
Ren Qing's face darkened even more: "Are you crazy? Rent is the foundation of the country! You set a precedent today to give them money, and then someone will use it, will they give it or not? Listen to me, don't go too far! If someone gives you a hat to invite people to buy people's hearts, what will the emperor think?! ”
"But isn't it natural to work and pay for it?" Xiao Han wanted to quibble a few words, but was directly interrupted by Ren Qing.
"Paying taxes is a matter of course!"
Ren Qing's words are categorical, this taciturn man rarely says so much! It seems that only with Xiao Han will he be so bitter.
arched his hand towards Ren Qing, indicating that he had been taught. For the kindness of others, Xiao Han has always been very grateful.
"Wait, the peasants will definitely be able to achieve no tax!"
Ren Qing didn't hear what Xiao Han was muttering, even if he heard it clearly, he would think that Xiao Han was having hysteria, and there was no tax on farming? Where is the wealth of the state?
The method of paying wages obviously doesn't work, but how can this stump Xiao Han? There are many things that will take advantage of the loopholes in the law in later generations, and such a trivial matter can't be done, how can you be a marquis?
"You, that's you, don't run! Well, see that you are doing a good job, and I will reward you with consistent money! Go back and do a good job! ”
After saying that, Xiao Han threw up his sleeves and floated away, leaving the dazed migrant workers behind. Hehe, in this way, no one can say what is wrong, even Ren Qing can only smile and shake his head wryly when he sees it, and let Xiao Han do it.
People can't live for ideals! Because there is always food and water on the way to the ideal, the appropriate reward can stimulate people's motivation! So since Xiao Han looked for rewards from time to time, Ren Qing was surprised to find that the people who came to work here were doing faster and better!
Sending money, this is just a small phenomenon of Xiao Han's temper in later generations. In addition, in terms of the food of these people, he even ordered the kitchen to make up a little! Three meals a day is even more essential.
