Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 294 Brown Rice Price Increase

"As expected of the clan leader, you really have a solution."

"If I had known earlier, I should have listened to you and trusted that beast Jiang Guangyi. He brought us so much trouble. It is you, the clan leader, who are really capable."

"Village Chief, from now on, if you say go left, I will never go right."

"..."

Nice words came out as if they were free.

Jiang Shoujia didn't take it to heart.

After giving the advice, he went back to catch up on his sleep. As for Jiang Fubao, he and Grandma and the others set off for the shop.

along the way.

Jiang Fubao saw that many farmlands were soaked by rain.

It's just a matter of depth and shallowness.

The closer you get to town, the less damage you'll suffer.

It was not until she entered the town that she realized that the hail and rain had not caused any harm to the people in the city.

These people should eat and drink.

The drainage in the city is much better than in the village, and the terrain is high.

There was no flooding at all.

"Mom, you're finally here. Is it hailing and raining in the village? Pingmei and I were both scared last night. Are you okay? Did the brown rice get soaked by the rain?"

Jiang Eryong had been waiting in the backyard for a long time.

Hearing the mooing of my own cows.

He hurried out to greet them.

He didn't forget to ask his mother.

"Uncle, the hail is so big. All the fields in the village are flooded. Those people are crying so miserably. Jiang Sanniu's family was beaten. And, our brown rice was not soaked by the rain. It's fine. Uncle, how is the town?"

The chatterbox Jiang Fubao interrupted Grandma's words.

Answering the second uncle.

"Well done! These people deserve to be beaten severely." Jiang Eryong didn't even ask why they were being beaten.

Because he knew that his niece was almost killed by Jiang Sanniu.

He holds a grudge.

He will never forget this incident.

The town was not affected.

They covered the well when it rained last night.

The table and chairs were brought into the house.

When I got up, there was almost no water on the ground.

Except it was a little wet and slippery.

At this time, the benefits of bluestone floors are reflected.

No matter how you step on it, your shoes won’t get dirty.

Business is going on as usual.

There are few guests today.

Many of the guests' families bought a lot of land and rented it to tenant farmers.

I guess they all went out of town to check it out.

When I go back again.

Jiang Fubao discovered that the water in the fields had disappeared.

There were quite a few people inside, barefoot, bending over to pick up ears of corn.

From the old to the young, almost the whole family went out.

Some people stood on the bridge and watched.

If you look closely, you will see that they are all families harvesting the autumn harvest early.

Since Jiang Fubao didn't go home, she jumped over to listen to the gossip.

This is her biggest hobby.

"Tsk tsk, look at how miserable they are. They didn't listen to the clan leader at the beginning, so they regret it now. It's too late. Did you see it this afternoon? When the water was drained, the fields were so ugly that not a single stalk of brown rice was good. The ears of rice were smashed to pieces and covered with mud.

These people were fighting over the robbery. Someone called the tribe leader, but he didn't want to intervene. I think it's better to ignore them. It's better to kill them all. Our village is troubled by these rats all the time. Otherwise, our village is poor. How can we be rich with them around? "

"I came earlier than you. The village chief taught them the drainage method. Otherwise, the crops would have been soaked for at least three days, and everyone's brains would have been eaten by dogs.

I don't have the ability, and I don't listen to the wise guys. I thought that the clan leader's family must have some ability to open a shop in town, so the second time he asked, I stood to the left. Now I think that God really helped me. "

"What you said is nothing. Ma Chunxia and Wang Taohua are even faster. Wang Taohua's family is right next to mine. Her family was so poor before. Ever since she married Zhang, she eats meat almost every day. My grandson is so greedy. Anyway, I want to marry Zhang in the future. I will listen to whatever the clan leader says. I also want to live a life like Wang Taohua."

"..."

These people were chatting animatedly.

They didn't notice that there was a little girl eavesdropping secretly behind them.

Jiang Fubao listened for a full quarter of an hour.

Just went home for dinner.

The people in the fields seemed tireless, picking up fruits from afternoon to night, and from night to dawn.

When Jiang Fubao got up and stretched in the yard.

Only then did she see the villagers returning home one by one, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.

"Grandma, did they do it all night?"

Jiang Fubao was shocked.

"In order to harvest quickly, we worked not only all night but also half a day. They have only just finished their work. They will probably go home to sleep for a while and then go back to the fields again."

Zhang Jinlan got up early and went to the field to look for a while.

So understand it clearly.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Fubao put down his outstretched arms and picked up the bowl to eat breakfast.

Three whole days.

Only then all the food in the field was picked up.

Fortunately, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

It didn't rain for three days.

Unfortunately, except for the first day when the sun came out.

The next two days were cloudy.

The brown rice was collected, cleaned of mud, and spread out in the yards of each household, but it simply could not dry.

Many people are horrified to discover that half of the brown rice they buy is moldy.

Not only that.

There are some signs of budding.

They were so anxious that they were at a loss.

If you can’t even eat this, how can you sell it?

Bad news comes one after another.

The government notified us that we had to pay grain taxes.

The grain tax in this dynasty was collected personally by officials.

The chief official in charge of Lianshan Town was named Zhu. On the morning of the fourth day, he arrived at Jiangjia Village on horseback.

Inform Jiang Shoujia that the grain will be harvested in three days.

Moreover, it verified what Jiang Shoujia said to the villagers, that this year's tax would be increased to 40% and could not be offset with silver.

And every family must send one person to repair the river embankment.

There is a big river at the junction of Yingnan Prefecture and Ruling Prefecture, which is comparable to a river.

The two governments each sent half of their staff to repair it.

Those who don't want to go must pay a fine of two taels of silver.

This news was like a thunderclap.

This year's crops have been completely destroyed.

Now, not only do you have to pay taxes when buying food, but you also have to pay fines.

How are you living?

In the evening, Jiang Fubao returned home in his second brother's arms. Before he got off the ox cart, he found a group of people kneeling on the ground in front of the house.

"Chief, please save us. We have to pay the grain tax. What should we do——"

"In the grain store in town, the price of brown rice has risen to fifty cents a bushel. How can we afford it? Even so, people even fought over it. I got punched twice and didn't get anything. It was all sold out in the morning."

"Village head, please lend us your ox cart, and we will go to the next town to buy brown rice. As for the silver, I will sign an IOU with you. Please lend us two taels of silver, no, three taels of silver, and I promise to pay you back within five years."

"Chief, our family has no money. My son just got married and we can't spend a single penny." Widow Liu cried the most miserably.

She regretted so much why she didn't harvest the crops earlier, which led to the destruction of the crops. Her son blamed her and didn't even talk to her anymore.

He also threatened...
