If you want to understand this problem, the easiest way is to persuade the old man to continue drinking, people who are not used to drinking highly will be easy to get drunk if they are a little drunk, as long as they are drunk, they will knock on the side.

Ma Baochang thought that this horse man was really good, he was not very old, he spoke kindly, and he was also warm. Although some words don't understand the meaning at all, he should be a good official if he can sit with the people and drink and chat!

As soon as his heart was relaxed, and the alcohol was stimulated again, the old man quickly entered a state of chatterbox, let him say what he didn't say, say what he didn't say, and who didn't let him say and who was in a hurry!

"Help your grandfather go back to the house to rest, it's not early, we should also go, there is a lot of trouble today, let your grandfather take the family to this palace as a guest another day, and then continue to drink."

While drinking and chatting, the old man spoke happily and Hong Tao listened carefully. But after a week and a day, he worked hard to write a small book, and he couldn't take care of all the wine and food, until Ma Baochang was completely drunk, and when Hong Tao and the Ma family said goodbye, they hurriedly ate a few bites of canned meat.

"Put it down, go back and the official will give you hot noodle soup and a few eggs." Seeing the appearance of munching on meat on Monday, Hong Tao snatched the canned food. This is all leftover from others, and you can't lose too much to your daughter-in-law.

said so, it was Wang San who returned to the house to cook. Don't look at the female man's military background, she has a clear eye for making hot noodle soup, and it is very neat. However, Wang San said that she would only have such a specialty dish, and she would eat it herself when she was hungry in the military camp on weekdays, and she would not do anything else.

"Look at you stupid, you can fight and kill, how will you marry in the future?" Not only did he not do it, Hong Tao was still the main force of eating, and he didn't finish one bowl on Monday and Sunday, and he had two bowls of stomach.

At Ma Baochang's house, he didn't eat enough, or he didn't eat much at all, so he just poured wine and talked. As the saying goes, put down the chopsticks and scold the cook, Hong Tao is so tasteless, and Wang San is said to be worthless.

"If the eldest sister can get married, so can I...... It's not all daddy eccentric, huh! "Wang Da is honest and honest on the surface, and Wang San is really upright.

Not only did he not evade the issue of his marriage, but he also expressed his dissatisfaction bluntly. Putting the blame on the eccentric father, why only find a husband for the eldest sister, but not his own?

"This is also to blame on the official!" Hong Tao put the bowl on the table, stopped drinking the noodle soup, and stared and waited for a fair word on Monday and Sunday.

"They're not too young, so they should worry more about that." He also put down the bowl every day and looked at his husband, who was sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, with a smile, and said something fair.

“…… Leave this matter to Mrs. to handle, this official can be busy. Sleep, sleep, and wake up early tomorrow to walk around the fields with me. ”

What Zhou Zhou said is right, Wang Da is twenty-two years old this year, Wang Er and Wang San are both twenty-one, except for seventeen and eighteen who are not yet fifteen years old, the other children, both men and women, have reached the age where they can talk about marriage, and a few of them have even become old girls, no wonder Wang San blames himself for being partial.

Hong Tao doesn't plan to take care of this matter anymore, usually speaking, it is the mother's duty to find a daughter-in-law and choose a husband for her children, and she is the king of Liang, and she loses her identity by going around all day to protect the media.

In addition, there is another reason that makes Hong Tao uneasy, and naturally he has less interest in being a matchmaker. Through this small talk with Ma Baochang, he felt that he didn't know much about the living conditions of the Song people, especially the people at the bottom.

I have been in Ganliang Road for several years, but it is not a traditional Song living area, and the herdsmen and pioneers do not represent real farmers.

There are many farmers in the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, but they have never managed the local civil affairs, so they know the general situation and lack the understanding of the details.

Today, Ma Baochang made up a lesson for himself, although he was not very comprehensive, but he was very detailed, down to a penny, a bucket of rice, and a foot of cloth.

The taxes of the peasants in the Southern Song Dynasty were relatively heavy, which Hong Tao had seen and studied with his own eyes. There are two reasons for this: on the one hand, the defeat and retreat to the south of Qinhuai have turned the line of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River into a war zone, and a large area of cultivated land in the plains has been lost, and it is necessary to use less land to support the same amount of bureaucracy and army. On the other hand, the imperial family moved south and rebuilt the imperial city and the defense facilities on the front line, which increased the amount of work and required more national investment.

In addition to vigorously developing industry and commerce, the shortest and fastest way to recover was to add some miscellaneous taxes in addition to the two taxes, such as "money from the general system", "money from the silk fold", "money from the board account", "money from monthly piles" and so on.

However, in the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no such problems, and the burden on the peasants was lighter than that of the previous dynasties, and there were not so many miscellaneous items, mainly in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The land tax is collected according to the land area, twice a year, in the summer to collect money and silk, and in the autumn to collect grain. The summer tax ranges from a few cents to tens of cents per mu, and the autumn tax is divided into upper, middle and lower three classes according to the barrenness of the land, and the north and the south are not the same, the approximate proportion is one out of ten, and the mu yields two stones of grain to pay two buckets of tax.

For example, if the border areas and disaster-stricken areas need grain, the imperial court will ask the surrounding grain-producing areas to send the grain from the autumn tax to the border customs or disaster-stricken areas to pay.

Most of the people certainly don't have the ability or time to send the grain that far, so they have to pay the freight and have the government organize the transportation together, which is called branch transfer and transformation.

Ding Fu is a poll tax, which is paid by men between the ages of 20 and 60, regardless of the main client. There are also regional differences in this tax, and they vary widely. In some places, the summer tax is much lower than the summer tax, and in some places, it can be several times higher than the summer tax.

To put it bluntly, the government compels the government to purchase and sell private materials. Hebai specifically refers to the purchase of grain, and syndicate refers to the purchase of cloth, which is tantamount to exploiting the peasants in addition to taxation for another time.

Husband's service, also known as conscription, mainly refers to participating in government projects without compensation, such as repairing rivers, civil construction, and transporting official goods.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty court often stopped levying and issuing conscription for free, it was not satisfactory to both sides. Some peasant households missed the farming season because of their husbands' servitude, and they starved at least and went bankrupt at worst.

If the taxes are not too high, why are the peasants still not rich? Let's take this small village in the evening as an example, there are more than 60 households in the village, and Ma Baochang's family is the richest man.

By the way, the ancient rural grassroots management institutions did not change much from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and usually adopted a two-level system, with some changes in the middle, that is, name changes, and their structure, functions and operation methods were basically the same.

In the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imitation Tang system adopted the township system, with 100 households as the li, and the lizheng was set up; Wuli is a township, and there are elders or township heads. After Wang Anshi changed the law, the township system was changed, and ten households were one guarantee, and a chief was set up; The five guarantees are one big guarantee, and the chief of the big guarantee is set up; The ten major guarantees are all guarantees, and the guarantee is correct.

Ma Baochang is one of the four big security chiefs in Yangzi Town, mainly served by local people with strong ability or relatively wealthy, responsible for assisting the local government in collecting taxes, organizing conscription and military service, and also having to deal with a series of work such as education, litigation, public security, etc., which is much more powerful than the village chief in later generations.

The reason why his family became the richest man in the village was because he had more than 100 acres of paddy fields, but even so, he was still not very rich.

Last night's fish and meat were really just an example, no one needed to tell him, just look at the flames bursting out of the child's eyes when he stared at the fish, Hong Tao could feel the enthusiasm, not just a person who can eat meat casually.

There are still seven households in the village that are in a similar situation to Ma Baochang's family, and their families have more or less some fields, and their living standards are mixed with food and clothing, and there is no surplus food to speak of.

The other dozens of families are even poorer, because they have no land, and all of them rent the land of the owner of this large courtyard, which should be said to be renting the land of Liangwang Wang Xu.

Once there is a little change, these people are likely to not even be able to pay the rent, and whether they will become homeless people depends on the heart of the landlord.

In fact, even if there are no natural disasters, they can't resist man-made disasters alone. For example, if the nearby river is flooded, the imperial court will definitely pay for repairs, but the labor force has to be paid by the nearby people.

The tenants went and received their wages, but when they returned, they missed the farm and the harvest was definitely affected. The court will not make up for this loss, so you can only blame yourself for your bad luck if you can't pay the rent.
