Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 582 Cutting Grass
Officers who had come to read the district government documents had long wandered around the village due to the rodent work, and had learned how the rats in the village were cursing people.
Hearing Chen's words, she did not even blink her eyes, and said gently, "Don't get excited, auntie ..." "
Pshaw! What look in your eyes? I'm so young to be your aunt? You're almost thirty Let's call you big sister!" Chen shouted furiously, sticking out his neck.
However, this Chen Shuli was only twenty-two years old, and the child was only three years old.
Gu Dagui was so frightened that he hurriedly dragged her over and said to the officer, "Don't blame me, my lord, the village lady is impolite, so move on."
Scribe Chen was recruited again in Tianfu County after county magistrate Xu cleared the yamen He was still reading the sage book at home for a few months, and he had no habit of being a ruthless official, and because he was reprimanded by county magistrate Xu when he first entered the yamen, saying that he could not deceive people or rob them of their wealth, otherwise he would be sentenced heavily. I was scared, and did not dare to do anything to Madam Chen, so I just said: "It's okay."
Two yamen maids came with Chen Shuli, one of them was Xiao Yang, the nephew of Bantou Yang, who had been here before. Several times in Dafeng Village, I recognized the Chen family, and hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, Chen Shuli has just done things as ordered, he said, and the government says to raise the grain tax don't scold Chen Shuli
.
Chen Shi had just dared to curse people out of anger, but he was actually more afraid of the people in yamen than everyone else, so he stopped talking after hearing those words.
Chen Shuli continued to explain: "There is a drought in the Northwest, and our Jianghuai River and Huaihe River are not seriously affected. We still have food to eat. The increase in food taxes was also to transport it to people and soldiers in the Northwest.
" Tax and food is ready, pay quickly.
He also said: "Silver money can be used to offset the grain tax. Ten days' deadline. Those who fail to pay within the deadline will be fined and jailed. " Start preparing, I'll be back in two days and start
collecting grain taxes."
“Hey, let's go, Scribe Chen.” He took the documents, supported by He Jinsheng, and sent Scribe Chen out of the village.
After Chen Shuli left, the villagers started scolding their mother, but no matter how much they scolded, they still had to pay the food tax.
The Gu Jinli family harvested almost 30,000 rice, and had to pay 9,000 catties of grain taxes, 30% of which were lost at once, which made Gu Dashan and Cui's heart ache.
Gu Jinli saw that they were very reluctant to provide food, so he simply said: "Let's pay with silver, I've calculated, it's more cost-effective to pay." Gu Dashan and Cui immediately agreed: "OK, because
it's more cost-effective to pay money, then our family will pay the money."
However, the family did not use Gu Jinli's personal money, the spice workshop, the stewed butcher shop, and the workshop knew everything made money, and the family received dividends. Gu Dashan took the banknotes to pay all the food taxes for the family, and the food taxes for the rice fields and other crops amounted to two hundred and ten taels of silver.
Other families also pay money, they come from hunger and really appreciate food, they fear there will be no food at home, so they prefer to pay money.
After paying the food tax, old doctor Wu called him to Xuanhufang again, and gave him a contract: "The Yuanzi Pharmaceutical Shop has added 60,000 bottles of tooth powder, and will be delivered a year ago. If a pharmacy workshop can make it, you sign it."
Tooth powder was really selling well, as soon as the 20,000 bottles of tooth powder were delivered to the Linhe Mansion and Jinling Mansion, they sold out within half a month. I ordered the tooth powder and was in a hurry to get it.
Gu Jinli counted his inventory, nodded and said: "That could have been done a year ago."
He took both contracts, read them carefully, wrote down his name with a pen, and pressed his fingerprints to keep a copy of the contract. Zhang's contract, and the rest was given to Old Doctor Wu.
Old doctor Wu gave him 1,200 taels of silver as a deposit, and after saying a few words to Nanny Tao who was accompanying him, he let them back.
By the way, Gu Jinli went to Xia's house, but he did not enter, but asked Madam Tao to bring the cotton robe Cui had prepared for Brother Cheng.
Madam Xia was very happy when she found out she was here, but she was afraid Gu Jinli would get angry when she saw her, so she did not dare to invite Gu Jinli into the house, but instead sent her mother earlier to give her hand warmers.
Gu Jinli did not want it: "Take it back, ma'am, this is not the coldest time, so you don't need this."
Mom said, "Why is this not the coldest time? When I woke up in the morning, the water in the kitchen yard was almost dry. Ice, you take."
Otherwise, his wife would cry again.
"Second Brother!" Cheng Ge'er followed Nanny Tao out of Xia's house, carried a small book bag, and ran towards Gu Jinli, not far followed by Mr. Xia.
Gu Jinli was surprised and asked, "The school is finished this early?" "
Well, sir, he said today it's too cold, so let me go home early so as not to get a cold sore." Brother Cheng was very happy to be home early.
Mr. Xia laughed and said: "Brother Cheng is wearing a bit of clothes today, the boy is weak and cannot freeze."
He found a doctor to check Brother Cheng's pulse. Avoiding hunger, his body was weaker than the other children. But Brother Cheng practiced boxing and kicking again, and he also consumed some kind of treatment diet.His health improved greatly, but they were still very nervous, for fear that he would get sick.
Gu Jinli smiled and nodded at Mr. Xia, grabbed Cheng Ge'er's hand, and said, "Then let's go home.
" Cheng Geer will be back tomorrow, you can come back, don't freeze
. , Hu Guanzhu was right, as long as he developed a relationship with Cheng Geer, the Gu family would not be willing to adopt Cheng Geer to the Lu family as an heir.
Gu Jinli came in a mule carriage, and the driver was Kan Liu. After their brother and Nanny Tao got into the car, they went to Shangjia Village. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, it was time for Ange to leave school, they entered. Take Angle and bring the three of them home.
At home, the third grandmother, Cui Shi, and Gu Jinxiu were in a hurry to make winter clothes, while Gu Dashan and the third grandfather took out a farming tool and asked Gu Jinli, "Little fish, everything is ready, when will we go?" cut aphids?"
Aphid grass planted by his family can be harvested, otherwise they will freeze to death.
Gu Jinli said: "I can cut it now, there is still half a day left, and I can cut through a lot.
" dead." Three Grandpa and Gu Dashan came out of the house with a grass knife and mowed the grass lice in front of the desert in their yard.
Gu Jinan also rolled up his sleeves to mow the lawn, and brought Brother Cheng with him: "You go too, our family is poor, and you are not a young master." Brother Cheng is young, and his family
love him, but Gu Jinan I don't want Cheng Ge'er to be spoiled and spoiled.
Brother Cheng closed his mouth and said: "Brother, I am cold ..."
Gu Jin'an's face darkened: "Don't close your mouth, hurry up and cut the grass."
He reasoned with it: "Cold, but if you don't do your job, you'll have to stack it up." You see, the elder brother, father, and third grandfather will all be working, and Brother Cheng will have to do it too." Brother Cheng
listening to Gu Jinan at most, and after hearing these words, he obediently followed to mow the grass.
