Weiyi, no matter how ugly he is, he still cares about him, so he doesn't want him to be resentful again.
"You can make friends with the Zhao family in Yi'an Bo Mansion." Qi Baoer answered the question inappropriately.
Da Liang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put the matter aside and said his real reason for coming: "By the way, I came to see you, didn't I agree to go home tomorrow? The housekeeper prepared a lot of things and said it was you who asked me to prepare them.
It means we don’t need anything at home now, so there’s no need to bring those things anymore.”
"Um?"
Da Liang poked her forehead angrily, "You still think our family isn't enough to make people jealous, right?"
Qi Baoer rolled his eyes inwardly, "Why are you so jealous? We rely on our own abilities."
Oh, his silly sister.
Daliang pulled Qi Bao'er to a chair in the corridor and sat down, preparing to have a long talk.
"Sister, no matter how much you are the princess, your surname is Qi and you are also a member of the Qi clan. Moreover, the more you are the princess, the more people will pay attention to your clan.
Don't tell me that you are not a clansman, that's nonsense, who in the capital doesn't know Princess Anle's surname is Qi?"
"Our family is living a very good life in the village now. You and Dad were kind to the villagers during your escape, and you are the lucky baby in the village. I hope the villagers won't be jealous because of our family's good life."
"How can we explain this thing clearly about people's hearts?"
"Let's just talk about Uncle Kangshui's family. We lived together in the same village for so long. Who knew what kind of people Uncle Kangshui and his wife were?"
"You don't know that during the days when you and your father went to Ping'an Town, Uncle Kangshui married Yu Shan to Feng Yuanwai, who was already in his forties from Jiuchang Town, as his stepmother. The betrothal gift was one hundred taels, and he
We went to Jiuchang Town on the first day, and Feng’s family came to pick him up the next day, and Li Zheng didn’t even react.”
"It's just a matchmaker carrying a sedan to carry someone, saying it's a marriage, and that's just the way it is for a small family to take a concubine. They used to love Yushan so much that they sold her for a hundred taels."
"Uncle Kang Shui's family is the only one in our village now, but who can guarantee that there won't be a second or third family?"
"If a person really gets jealous, he can do anything."
"I think what I mean is that it's good for our home in the village to stay as it is now. We can make money in the future, at least on the surface. We eat meat and the tribesmen can drink some soup."
"Just in case, just in case, at least most of the people in the village are trustworthy in character now. Everyone's life is slowly getting better. After taking advantage of the benefits given by our family, at least they will not be ungrateful."
"Look, our servants' food and clothing are better than those of other people in the village. Now everyone is just envious. But if we are too exaggerated to transport good things to our house, do you think we will get pink eye?"
Recruited forcefully?"
"It turns out that dad was going to invite people from other villages to help our family prepare the land. He didn't have any other intentions. Every household in the village had their own land to prepare, so he probably didn't think twice before calling them.
Because of this, my father was beaten by me.
Now our land is still being cultivated by the villagers, and they only come for half a day, alternating between morning and afternoon, and our family pays ten cents a day for a meal per person."
"This is the same as the price dad pays for treating others. Treating people from other villages also includes a meal at noon, which is 20 cash per day, and even dinner is included at 17 cash per day."
"I didn't know why I did this at first. I didn't understand until our land started to be renovated."
Most of the people in the village owed money to the village, so even though they could still owe more when they bought the land, firstly they didn't have the courage to owe more, and secondly they were afraid that they would not be able to pay back in the future, so they didn't buy more land.
In addition to their family buying a hundred acres, the Li Zheng family bought the most, but it was only twenty acres.
The land that other people buy is only two to three acres, and they prefer to open up land for free and without tax for three years.
Qilin State strongly advocates land reclamation, the most obvious manifestation of which is taxation.
First of all, the three-year tax exemption does not start from the time when you start to open up wasteland, but only after you plant something and get a harvest.
If the harvest of wasteland is designated to be poor, even if it is tax-free for three years, the harvest after three years will usually not even reach the level of lower-grade fields. Even if the tax is based on lower-grade fields from now on, it is almost the same as the tax on what is planted, and some even
Can't even pay taxes.
In the Qilin Kingdom, taxes began to be paid three years after land was opened, and the taxes for the first three years were only half of those for lower-grade fields.
Therefore, in Qilin Country, people who cannot afford to buy land, as long as they are not lazy, choose to open up wasteland.
Two or three acres of land can be cultivated by the mother-in-law without any help from the men. The men in every household are ready to save their energy to open up wasteland.
Lao Qi's family hired people to prepare the land, and it only took them half a day to do it. Not to mention the ten cents for a meal, they still had half a day to open up wasteland.
Ten cents can buy several kilograms of coarse grains, not to mention the food provided by Lao Qi's family is also kind. There is at least one bowl of meat every day, which makes their stomachs full of oil and water, and they are very energetic in their work.
There is more energy in opening up wasteland.
If we vigorously open up wasteland, we can reclaim more land, which is beneficial to future generations.
But not the whole village is extremely grateful to their family.
"There is also the matter of raising pigs. I don't just raise pigs at home. Dad originally planned to grow sweet potatoes by himself, but now he also sells part of them to the villagers."
Da Leng was so loud that he couldn't stop. Qi Bao'er couldn't bear it and raised her hand to him. She stared straight at her brother and asked, "Brother, do you think I'm stupid?"
"
"Uh..., how can I? My sister is the smartest person in the world." She is the smartest child the emperor has ever certified.
Then he leaned closer and whispered, "Then you still let us bring a lot of stuff, which is enough for six carriages. If we want to bring it back to the village, we will go crazy."
The silks and satins alone fill a whole cart, as well as those for food.
It was better for their family to live across the river in the past. Those who didn't have such good things would go all the way to stare at them.
But now in the village, so many carriages are pulling back...
It's so eye-catching.
Qi Baoer expressed doubts about his elder brother's IQ for the first time, "Brother, do you really understand what I meant when I asked you to call me?"
"Huh?" What do you mean?
Is it difficult for him to understand correctly?
With a "pop" sound, Daliang was hit hard on the back, almost knocking him to the ground.
"You bastard, I asked you to call me Guaiguai, and that's what you called me? What the hell are you talking about? Did I mean that?"
Seeing his elder brother staggering for a long time before he regained his balance, Qi Bao'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and was so happy.
She had seen him coming and wanted to remind her brother, but he was so engrossed in talking about it that he didn't even notice the hint in her eyes.
Old man Qi had ignored Da Lang who was grinning in pain. He sat next to Qi Bao'er and said, "My darling, you are a little too generous. Listen to me, the people in the village are not like the nobles in Beijing. They have to pay for it every day."
It's not appropriate to give them those silks and satins of yours for work."
Dali: "..."
Dali: "???"
deliver?
"If you want to give something nice, brocade cloth is enough. In the village, brocade cloth is already the most respectable thing. And those jewelry, you dare not accept them if you dare to give them away. Why don't you give them food instead."
It's just a festive thing, but if you are too proud, they will be afraid."
