Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog
Chapter 139 Tax Cut in Half
Then she brought hot water and, with the help of the maid, gave Dudu a thorough bath in the side room.
After wiping her clean with a hot towel, he covered her little body with another hot towel.
Only after the moisture on her body had completely evaporated did she get put into the swaddle.
And considering that the child is weak, I was afraid that she would really get sick.
He stayed in the room for a while before going back and putting Dudu on the bed.
When everything was over, Su Yan was sweating profusely.
I had to go to the bathroom again to take a shower.
At night, Su Yan was uneasy.
She asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginger soup, drank it while it was hot, and then fed Dudu.
She knew that children could receive some of the effects this way.
After all, this also happens in modern times. Children who are too young cannot take medicine when they are sick.
The mother will take the medicine, and then some of the medicine will pass into the child through breast milk.
After these several layers of assurance, Dudu indeed passed the first bath safely and soundly.
Once there is a first time, there will be a second and a third time.
Children have strong adaptability, and Dudu soon got used to taking a bath every two or three days.
And during this period, he never got sick once.
After seeing this, He An and He's grandmother didn't say anything else.
And their attention is not on such things, they are more concerned about the summer harvest.
Or rather, the people of the entire county are watching this summer harvest.
Therefore, Dudu’s full-month banquet was not a big one, not even as grand as the third-month bath.
The He family just got together and had a meal, and that was it.
It’s not that Grandma He is unwilling to do it for Dudu, it’s just that the timing is really not right.
Because it only rains once in half a year, and the crops in the fields are short and empty.
Let everyone no longer have the mentality of taking chances.
It was less than half a month from the beginning to the end of the summer harvest, and the atmosphere in the entire county was extremely depressing and dull.
In previous years, the price of old grain in grain shops would have dropped significantly at this time, but now it is still high.
There is no downward trend at all.
The big merchants or individual traders who used to collect grain in previous years are unable to receive any grain this year, and their business is bleak.
This series of events made everyone nervous.
The air seemed to be filled with sparks. Everyone was irritable and seemed ready to explode.
In this situation, He An, who opened a shop, can only be more careful.
Treat customers more attentively.
Even if someone occasionally acts unreasonably, I just respond with a smile and don't argue.
After hearing this, Grandpa and Grandma He felt that He An had become more stable now that he had become a father.
This continued until the summer harvest was over and the county government began to prepare to collect taxes.
The whole county was filled with gloom and sorrow.
The taxes set by the imperial court are actually not high, and the county magistrate of this county is not a corrupt official.
But the weather was bad this year and there was a severe drought, so not much grain was harvested!
The harvest from the fields is already small, and after paying taxes, can they survive until next year?
Dark clouds were floating over the entire county.
Until the county government posted a notice announcing the good news.
The court decided to exempt half of the county's taxes.
When the news came, everyone cheered.
Some people even kowtowed towards the imperial court to express their gratitude on the spot.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
After kneeling down to express their gratitude, these first people who received the news immediately ran around to tell others.
Among these people, there are residents of the county town and villagers who come to the county town to sell things.
For a time, the news of halving taxes spread like the wind to all parts of the county.
Even Uncle Su in the mountains heard about it.
"Really? Taxes will be reduced by half this year?" Uncle Su, who was discussing tax payment with other mountain villagers in the village and then going to the mountains to look for wild animals, was shocked and quickly pulled people aside to ask.
The man was stopped by Uncle Su, but he didn't get angry. He answered excitedly, "Really! I heard it myself in the county!"
Another mountain villager nearby thought about it and realized that he had indeed gone out to sell mountain products today, and couldn't help but believe it a little.
But can taxes be halved so easily?
The older generation of mountain people, who had seen too many human hearts, couldn't do it, so they asked him to explain in detail what happened.
The man did not get angry when faced with other people's doubts.
In fact, everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment, and he felt inexplicably excited.
"My family harvested less food this year. I was thinking of going to the mountains more often to collect some mountain products to sell so I can buy some food, right?"
"As a result, when I went to the county today, I saw people jumping around excitedly all over the streets. Some even knelt down and kowtowed after hearing a few words from others."
"I felt something was wrong, so I moved over there to listen to what was going on."
“Then I heard the news that taxes were cut in half!”
He danced with joy as he recounted his experience today. "I couldn't believe it. I bravely went to the notice board at the gate of the county government office and asked the guard next to it."
"Sure enough!"
Uncle Su and a group of mountain people surrounded the man, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Don't miss any of his words.
After hearing what he said, everyone paused for a moment, and then cheered.
Some of them showed their emotions openly and pulled the person over to hug him/her without caring who was next to them.
The big hand patted the other's back heavily, "It's really halved, it's really halved!"
The other party didn't care at all and patted him on the back after listening.
The two hugged each other and shouted, and then laughed.
There were many such cases. Even Uncle Su couldn't help but randomly grabbed a villager to vent his excitement.
Of course, after this long-lost atmosphere of national excitement in the county, some people who thought more about it began to investigate who had made this happen.
After all, they are just a small county, far away from the emperor.
How could the emperor know them?
There must be someone involved.
For a while, the county was investigating who had such great ability.
Maybe everyone worked together, or maybe the person behind the scenes didn't even intend to hide it.
It was easy for everyone to find it.
The person behind the scenes is both unexpected and reasonable.
County magistrate!
Roar!
This was everyone’s first reaction when they found out the news.
Now that the person behind the scenes has been found, the others will be easier to investigate.
Soon, the detailed process spread throughout the streets and alleys.
It turned out that the county magistrate noticed that something was wrong in the county this year and had already written a letter to the court to report the situation.
At the same time, he asked the court to reduce taxes.
Originally, there was no hope for this matter. Many counties were affected by the disaster this year, and their county was just one of them, and it was a slightly less severe one at that.
In some serious cases, there is even no harvest.
Refugees from one county to another had no choice but to flee to other places as they had no way to make a living in their local area.
But who can blame the county magistrate for having a father-in-law who is a high-ranking official?
He used his connections to get the county magistrate's subordinates included in the tax reduction and exemption.
Although it was only half in the end, it was also a rare good result.
After hearing about the tragic conditions in other counties and even other prefectures, everyone agreed that it was a blessing for their county to have such a result.
Don't dare to ask for more.
