The scorching sun is shining on the earth, and the people in the fields are working even more enthusiastically.

If you sweat, wipe it with your hands.

If you are thirsty, just wait for a few sips when you return to the field.

When I was hungry, I took a few bites of the dry food I brought from home in the morning.

Men would bend over in the fields shirtless to ensure that their clothes would last for several more years.

Working when the sun rises and resting when the sun sets is not the time for sleeping and getting up, but the time for sleeping and working.

During the busy farming season, no one dares to relax.

The whole family, old and young, joins the battle and uses as much strength as possible.

It's too early and the grain is too wet, which is not conducive to preservation.

If it is too late, the grain will be too dry and will easily fall off during harvesting.

Autumn harvest actually only takes about ten days.

Although life has been hard, this year, something different has appeared on the land of Han.

Tian Si stood in front of his farmland, looking at the half-harvested grain, with a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing? Why are you standing here and giggling if you don't hurry up to work?" Tian Li pointed at his son and cursed.

A man in his thirties should be beaten for being distracted at this time...

"My dear, I'm just happy. The crops are growing well this year. The yield is higher than before. We don't have to pay taxes. This year our family can be brave enough to eat!" In response to his father's scolding, Tian Si

Don't care.

Farmers' happiness is very simple. Seeing a bumper harvest allows them to eat food for a whole year. This is the source of their happiness.

"Haha, this is the shrewdness of the King of Han. His calculations were accurate. At first, some people thought that growing crops on such a small area would not be enough to eat. Now let me ask them if they still dare to think so!" Tian Li

Hehehe smiled, showing contempt for the person who complained privately at the beginning.

No matter how much land is divided, one person can only take care of so much.

Instead of letting other fields waste efficiency, it's better to centralize them.

In this way, people can cultivate their own farmland with peace of mind and increase production, while other land is turned into official land.

Besides, this official land does not mean that it will be official land forever.

When new people in the village reach an age, if there is idle land in the village, the idle land will be allocated to these people. If not, it will be divided from official land.

Therefore, according to expectations, if the tax is paid, each family can only have less than ten shi of food left for emergency use every year.

If you don't pay taxes now, each family will be able to have at least twenty dan left over this year.

What is the concept of twenty stones? It is enough for a strong man to live for a year.

"My dear, isn't that the second child?" Tian Si chuckled, looking at Tian Er running in the distance.

"Huh, this brat, the family is so busy that he can't even eat. Even his nephew helps carry the food home on the cart, but he, the elder, can't even leave the field." Speaking of the second son, Tianli is

I'm really angry, it's the busy farming season, but it doesn't help at all.

"My dear, this is your fault. My second brother is now working as an errand in the county government. Not only does he pay for food, but he is also given a salary of ten shi every year. It doesn't matter if we work hard to plant the land at home." Tian Si Gang

He said with persuasion.

If he hadn't just had this opportunity now, and if Tian Er hadn't been so clever, would he have been able to work as an errand in the county government?

There is only one county government in each county. There are so many people who want to work as errands, but why don’t you see anyone else going in?

Moreover, working as an errand in the county government is different now than before. In the past, it was all corvee labor, and the number of workers changed every month, and they were all free labor.

Now they are all full-time, and although they need to stay there every day, they still pay their salary in charge of food. In the words of the common people, they eat the royal rations properly, although they are given a small amount.

But he is just an errand boy, so it would be nice if he could give him ten stones.

"I, how are you doing at home?" Tian Er hurriedly walked to his father and younger brother and asked directly.

"Why does being so busy have anything to do with you? What? Are you going to take care of the rest of the work?" Tian Li looked at Tian Er angrily.

"I, I am going to work as an errand at the county government. It was your idea!" Tian Erxian looked a little aggrieved. This was the first time since he was born and sensible that he did not go to the fields during the busy farming season. Although it was very satisfying, he still felt aggrieved.

I also feel very embarrassed.

"Go! Go! Go!" Tian Li waved to Tian Er and said: "If you are coming back to help, just take off your clothes and go to the fields. If you are running errands, just get out of here. If you don't have anything to do, you will be here every day.

You are dangling in front of me so much that I want to kill you with a knife!"

"I, I came back to run an errand..." Tian Er looked at his father sheepishly.

"Then why don't you go quickly? How many heads do you have to chop off if you delay official business?" Tian Li scolded.

Tian Er continued to feel aggrieved and wanted to say something, if it was not popular now he would be beheaded.

But the person facing him is his own father, so he can't be so rude to him. Besides, he still has something to ask for from him...

"I, I need your help for this errand..."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't the royal court transfer the garrison in our county a few months ago? No one will take care of this official land..."

"I know this, let's get to the point!" Tian Li glared at Tian Er.

How could he not know about this? Their family still has vested interests.

The garrison has been transferred away, and Guantian cannot be left alone. What should we do?

The county government summoned a group of people to help take care of the official fields. They didn't have to go every day, but only once every other day to take care of the food.

Don't talk about whether to give money or not to give food. In this day and age, taking care of food is a good thing.

There were so many people who signed up that many people struggled to get a spot.

Tian Er happened to be working as an errand at the county government, so he got twenty places. His family took one, and the rest were divided among the neighbors.

If a person can achieve this, Tian Li will be a popular figure in Tianjia Village.

"Originally, Wang Ting's plan was to transfer another batch of garrison troops to harvest, but there is a new situation in the east. The garrison troops who wanted to come to our county can't come, and there is no one to harvest the official fields. However, the army is still waiting for food.

Let's get rid of the pot. The order from the royal court was sent to the county government today. Ten shi of grain will be exchanged for 11 shi of grain..." Tian Er explained blatantly.

"What do you mean?" Tian Li was confused. Why exchange ten stones for eleven stones?

"That is, we give ten shi of ready-made grain to the government, and then go to the official fields to harvest eleven shi of grain ourselves."

Tian Li frowned slightly.

This is indeed a good thing, but physical strength is the least valuable thing for farmers.

It is also worthwhile to exchange ten stones from one's own family for eleven stones from Guantian. Once again, it is equivalent to harvesting twenty-one stones of grain and getting eleven stones.

"It's too late, right? If it rains, we will be unlucky this year..." Tian Li said.

"My dear, it's not a problem to exchange twenty or thirty dan for a family, but it will just be a bit harder."

"Are you going to fight Chu?" Tian Li looked at his son and asked meaningfully.

Tian Er nodded: "Originally, we planned to fight after the autumn harvest. In order to ensure the autumn harvest, the king asked the army originally in the Zhao State to move to the border to put pressure on the Chu State. However, the Chu State seemed to be aware of it.

Gather the troops..."

"Since when did we big men have an army in Zhao State?" Tian Li was stunned for a moment, it was unheard of.

"Wang Li's 400,000 Qin troops surrendered, and more than 200,000 were reorganized on the spot."

'Snapped!'

Tian Li clapped his hands fiercely and said excitedly: "Change, Fourth Brother, go back and do it quickly. Take all the grain we collected and change it. We don't want the eleven stones anymore. Just change them one by one. King Chu's son unexpectedly
