Chapter 1061: The fragrance of rice flowers indicates a good year!

In October, the fragrance of rice flutters.

The common people bent over, held sickles, and harvested the yellow rice.

Even though the autumn tigers were raging, they still couldn't stop the smiles on their faces.

They wore straw hats and placed bundles of rice in the fields.

The old mother is old and takes her family's hairy children to pick up the falling rice ears in the field.

The young son pulled the threshing machine from Qinzhuang factory into the field, "Dad, you thread the millet, my brother and I cut rice!"

His name is Maodan, and his family has four brothers. Their family is the first family to grow new grain.

A hundred acres of land were lifted out of poverty and hunger in one year.

Although it is not considered a wealthy person, it also has three meals a day.

The children at home will never be full and hungry again.

When they don’t farm, the four brothers will go to the dock to transport goods. Not only will they manage food, but they will also make money every day, and each person can earn 15 to 20 big money a day.

Including the harvest of food, last year, their family made fifty or sixty taels of silver.

Life has taken several steps at once.

The old man smiled and nodded, looking at his son who worked hard, he was in a very good mood, "It's all you and the third brother have not married a new wife."

This year, the weather is good, and the food is growing so well. After paying the autumn tax, the food for one year was left, and the remaining food was sold.

Let me tell you about a wife and if I have any extra money, I will buy a new house for you two brothers!"

"Thank you dad!" Maodan was so excited.

The old man said, taking the rice, stepping on the threshing machine, and the roller in the middle started to rotate quickly.

With this threshing machine made by Qinzhuang, the efficiency has been improved by more than ten times, not only fast, but also saves effort.

The whole family used it all morning and harvested more than three acres of land.

As noon approached, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law came over with a basket in their hands, "Master-in-law, mother, it's time to eat!"

The fur child rolling in the field ran over quickly, "Mom!"

"Hands are covered with mud, go and wash your hands!" The woman patted the child's hand gently, "You Azu didn't come, there is no rule. Our first bite in our family must be eaten by Azu!"

"I know, mom!"

A few furry children ran quickly to the ditch beside them to wash their hands.

The second daughter-in-law spread the cloth on the ground and arranged the baked potato noodles and side dishes.

A few half-sized sweet potatoes were placed on the ground, all steamed and particularly sweet.

The four sons, each carrying a large sack, walked over and put the full of food aside.

The old man looked at his virtuous daughter-in-law and felt very comfortable.

"Hey, why is it so big?" the mother-in-law came over and said, "How much does it cost to have such a big piece of meat!"

"Mom, father-in-law and others do physical work, how can they bear it if they don't eat meat?" said the eldest daughter-in-law, and took out the rice wine that had been burned in advance.

"You prodigal girl, can you take out this rice wine at will?" The eldest son's face changed when he saw the rice wine. "It's okay to just take a few sips at home, but forget the prohibition order?"

The second wife laughed when she heard this, "Brother, you probably don't know the latest government orders of the court, right? The alcohol ban has been abolished. Today, a village is bringing the village's supervisors to our village to promote it. You can make wine at home to satisfy your cravings, but you can't make wine to sell it in large quantities."

"Dada, your wife is right!" At this time, the neighbor next to him also smiled and said, "It was announced just this morning. Look, I have also burned a pot of wine!"

Seeing the neighbors like this, the eldest son was relieved of his heart, "Dad, sit down!"

The second son poured wine for the old man, and the egg was the largest piece of meat and placed it in the old man's bowl.

The furry child beside him was drooling in greed, and everyone was waiting for Azu to move his chopsticks.

The old man felt so comfortable when he saw this scene.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, "Everyone can use the chopsticks!"

The furry child couldn't wait to get on his chopsticks.

"Slow down, don't rob, why are you like a bandit?"

"Hahaha, let them eat!" The old man's eyes were smiling. He had food at home, and he was not afraid of having many children at home.

Especially these half-aged kids are the most edible.

He was so worried before.

Now, I'm not panicking at all.

At this moment, a few people came not far away. Although the middle-aged man in the lead was dressed very simply, he looked like he was not angry and the few people behind him were obviously subordinates.

"This old man, I am a grain merchant from Guanzhong. Have you settled your family's grain this year?" said the middle-aged man.

The old man quickly stood up, "I'm going to tell you, this noble man, the grain has just started to be harvested this year, and we have to wait for the tax to pay. The remaining grain is freely controlled by us.

At that time, the court did not care about the freedom of trading.

If you want to collect grain, you might as well come in a month!”

"I made it with others when I came. Now the food price is high, aren't you afraid of selling it at a lower price?" asked the middle-aged man.

"Not afraid!" the old man smiled and waved his hand, "I'm afraid the nobles don't know. This year the court has issued new rules. If there is surplus grain, it can be sold to the Ministry of Revenue and will be based on the market price.

We ordinary people will not suffer any losses!”

It can be said that the court's policy gave all farmers who farmed to reassure themselves.

Compared to merchants, they naturally trust the court more.

"Neither, I say, don't care if you don't like to listen. Now I'm going to make a decision, I'm probably lying to you.

If anyone dares to book in advance, once they find out, they will be in the whole village.

Not only do they pay double taxes for three consecutive years, but they also have to be extra labor. The corvee service in the capital has been abolished. Who is willing to suffer that crime?

You should hurry back and take a look and get the money back!”

The court cannot be more good to the common people. If you really do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs, you will definitely be scolded to death by the whole village, and you won’t be able to continue to do it anymore.

The middle-aged man changed his subject, "I just paid the deposit in advance and told him not to sell his family's grain to others, and did not sell his family's grain in advance."

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay!"

"What you plant now is new rice, right?"

"That's right, it's the second generation of Qinzhuang!"

"Have you calculated the yield per mu?"

"Not yet, but the yield per mu is stable!" the old man said with a smile.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, "You are not far from Qinzhuang, right? Is it under Qinzhuang?"

Speaking of this, the old man and his family sighed, "Who doesn't want Qinzhuang to manage? But the village in our village is too useless. It didn't squeeze in and was taken advantage of by the next village, which was so annoying!

Do you know that the village next to us is the poorest place in the village, and when the mouse goes, he will cry and run back.

Last year, I was taken over by Qinzhuang.

This year, every household has lived in a new brick house. Those who went to their village to talk about the matchmaking community almost broke the roads in the village.
