Farmhouse is so old

It's autumn, and every household in the village is busy with harvesting.This field is full of people as far as the eye can see.Although the agricultural tax in the Ming Dynasty is not high, there are still plenty of poor people.At least for this week, the farmers in Zhoujia Village with a radius of hundreds of miles are all living off this autumn harvest.Therefore, the villagers attach great importance to the autumn harvest, which will be the ration of the family for the next year.

But in the busy Zhoujia Village, there is a remote field, Tang Qingzheng is full of bewilderment, being framed by someone, he suddenly traveled to this dynasty, the Ming Dynasty.However, this Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in history, but an overhead dynasty that has never been heard of.

The Ming Dynasty here is divided into three types of people, one is a woman, the other is a man, and the other is called a brother.This guy looks no different from a man but can bear children like a woman. I can't help but sigh the miracle of the Creator.But brother is not very popular, because there is no shortage of women in the Ming Dynasty, under such circumstances, brother is a little embarrassed.There are delicate and soft girls, who would look up to rough and tough guys!Except for the issue of sexual orientation, judging from the current situation, there are still more people with heterosexual orientation in the Ming Dynasty.So brother is not popular in this era, and his status is lower than that of women.

The original body is a person who doesn't like brother very much!Speaking of which, the original body was quite unlucky. Originally, his family was relatively well-to-do, and he had studied sage books for several years. Although his knowledge was not very good, he was a scholar after all.It stands to reason that such a person should not worry about anything, but an earthquake shattered everything.It just so happened that the village where the original body was located was near the sea, a big earthquake, the mountains collapsed, and the waves swept in. Only a few people survived in the last village, and Yuan Bo was one of them.

Since the surrounding areas were damaged, naturally there were no relatives to take refuge in. In the end, they had to seek help from the government, and the government threw the original body to this remote mountainous area. Because there were too many refugees, the land of Fuze could not accommodate so many people.In the end, they had to be scattered in this mountainous area to support themselves.It's also good to avoid refugees gathering crowds to make trouble.

The original body was assigned to this week's family village and was only given two acres of poor land and two taels of silver for settlement.That's all, and the original body was matched with a brother from the Zhou family village.It is said that this brother looks extremely tough, no one came to propose marriage when he was eighteen, and no one even asked when he was twenty.Due to the wars in the past few years, the population of the Ming Dynasty was originally small.The above is vigorously promoting the matter of population, and each state and county is also evaluating performance based on population.As soon as the government heard that there was an unmarried brother here, it was okay, but they also heard that this brother was not good-looking, and a rash marriage would attract many complaints. savior!

In short, if you want to settle down, you have to marry this brother, and if you don’t want to marry, you can continue to be your refugee.Yuanshen, who had always been used to a good life, couldn't bear the suffering of being a refugee all day long, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and deal with this matter.After settling down in Zhoujia Village, I hurt my body when I was a refugee, and I have been suppressing myself to not get sick. Now that I relax, I am sick like a mountain.In addition, Yuanshen thought of marrying an ugly brother, and this brother was three years older than him!Sadness comes from the heart, it's such a sickness, it's cheaper than Tang Qing from modern times.

Tang Qing felt that the original body was too narrow-minded. They said that even if the ants lived secretly, wouldn't they just marry a brother and not want to live?

No matter what Yuanshen thought, Tang Qing had to rely on Yuanshen's identity to continue living.Isn't it just marrying a brother Ma, the master was born crooked, it would be great if the two could hit it off, and if they really couldn't make it through, he wouldn't treat each other badly.

Tang Qing was also an orphan in modern times. He went in and out of society, experienced the cruelty of modern society, and finally got a space, and his life gradually returned to normal. Unexpectedly, he was envied by others and lost his life.Fortunately, the space has long been bound to his soul, and no one else can take it away if they want to.

But the person who caused him is probably even more depressed now, the wishful thinking is gone, and now he is still fighting.Moreover, he still spent his whole life in vain. You must know that he is almost forty in modern times.

Thinking of this, Tang Qing was no longer depressed, and started to work harder with a hoe.The two mu of land assigned to him was originally planted with potatoes. This thing is not bad for eating, but for some reason, the yield of potatoes here is not as high as that of later generations.

In fact, Tang Qing didn't know much about farming. The orphanage didn't have a field and everyone couldn't farm it. But when he had space, he learned a little bit.

But the space can be operated with one button, and there is really nothing he can worry about.The space is so magical, but the things are not magical. It is not like in the novel. The cabbage is white and flawless like jade, and what you eat to strengthen your body is all made up.

The crops in the space are no different from the ordinary ones outside, except that there are fewer insect eyes, and the maturity cycle of the crops is shorter.But this also satisfied Tang Qing, at least he wouldn't starve to death.Because of the short maturity cycle of crops, Tang Qing felt that it was a waste, and then planted medicinal materials and started a medicinal business, but he did not expect to lose his life because of it.

Since Tang Qing was not proficient in farming, he didn't do much work all morning, so he only worked one-third of an acre of land by noon.Fortunately, he was off the beaten track, otherwise the elders in the village would have seen him, and would have had to say a few more words.

Pick the dug out potatoes and put them in baskets. Once they are full, pick them home and put them in the cellar.Tang Qing's home is not very far from the ground, just a few steps away, so this job is not tiring at all.

Tang Qing's family was allocated the most remote area in the village, and the back of the house was next to Dazhou Mountain.There are many wolves and beasts in the mountains, and the villagers are generally fine and will not wander here.This happened to be cheaper for Tang Qing, he had the space to not be exposed, and this remote place was a good shelter for him.

After picking out a few baskets of potatoes, the Wu Zang Temple sang the opposite tune.After the original body settled here, he didn't have much money left, and he fell ill again, and there was nothing to eat at home.Can you not be hungry after working all morning?

After returning home and washing his hands, Tang Qing started to make lunch, taking out rice and vegetables from the space.After potting the rice and cooking the pot, he rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.He kept moving his hands, and after a while he prepared a table of good dishes.A cold eggplant, a fried bean sprouts, a green vegetable, and a pot of egg drop soup, all smell delicious.

"It's really delicious." Tang Qing sighed, he is an out-and-out foodie, he never wrongs his stomach, and he must eat well wherever he goes, so he also has a good cooking skill.

After a full meal, we passed the food along the front and back of the house.He went to work in the field with a hoe again.The sun is still very hot these two days, but no one dares to be lazy. It will not do to delay the farming season.

After eating enough, he worked hard and dug out all the remaining potatoes in one afternoon.Although I was a little tired, I felt a strong sense of pride when I saw the piles of potatoes in the cellar.

After working for several days in a row, I finally got my own food back.Tang Qing was also very tired, after all, he had never worked so hard in two lifetimes.

However, Tang Qing did not go to rest but was busy paying taxes in the cellar.According to the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty, he only needs to pay 500% tax per mu of land.In order to prevent people from stealing and cheating, the unified output of Bodi in the Great Zhou Dynasty was [-] catties. If it did not reach it, it must be subsidized by itself. If the output is high, the rest will be counted as its own.

Tang Qing harvested more than 1200 catties of potatoes in two acres of land, and there were more than 1000 catties left after taxes.It will take several months to eat more than 1000 catties.After the potatoes are harvested, they are ready to grow radishes. At least the 1000 catties of potatoes will be eaten until the radishes come down.

But you can't eat potatoes for a few months.Exchange potatoes for money?Yes, the potato recycling in the grain store costs 1 penny a catty, and 1000 catties of potatoes can be exchanged for a tael of silver, while the chestnut rice in the grain store costs 10 pennies a catty!If only Tang Qing ate it alone, he would eat about 30 catties of chestnut rice a month, and in three months it would cost about one tael of silver. This is still the case of only eating.In addition to the usual daily expenses and vegetable oil and salt, it is still a question of whether the two silvers can last for more than three months.

But this is an extravagant calculation. Whoever eats dry food every meal is cooked with chestnut rice mixed with wild vegetables, which saves money and food.Some poorer families don't even dare to fry their vegetables for fear of spending oil, after all, oil is more expensive.

But Tang Qing didn't worry about this either. He had the space to survive starvation, but he did a rough calculation, no wonder Gu Gu was poor. The produce in this field was simply not enough for the whole family.What's more, farmers like to have more children and more blessings. If there are more people and less land, the poorer they will be.Besides, there are really not many people with a lot of land.In this village, the village chief's family has 10 mu of land, and the others only have about 3 to 8 mu of land.So this week's family is poor.

In addition, the village is backed by mountains, and there are few good fields, and they are not contiguous, and there is no landlord for several miles.If a landlord’s family has a large population, they will rent land for farming, or do long-term labor.Coupled with the land of my own family, life will be a little richer, but people will be more tired, but it is better than a family of ten or so living on these few acres of land.

Geographical location determines fate, but Tang Qing doesn't control these things, he can only talk about them in private at best.

Everyone was busy with the work in the field. Tang Qing, who had been here for a while, finally left his one-acre three-point land and came to the village.

"Boy Qing is here, are you done with the field work?" The old man in the village saw Tang Qing walking towards them and greeted them.

"Hello, old man Zhou, I'm done with all the work in the field. I'm coming to the village to inquire. When will the tax be collected?" Tang Qing also replied politely. Seeing that it was old man Zhou (the village head's father), Hastily said what he asked for.

"It's estimated that it will take two days. At that time, the government will come to collect it. I will let the children inform you when it comes."

"Then thank you, Uncle Zhou." After learning the news he wanted, Tang Qing didn't stop and went home slowly.
