Wang Hong almost ran away in panic. He hated Qin Shaoyou very much, but he was even more instinctively fearful, but he still gained the upper hand. When he returned to Henan Prefecture, he weighed the pros and cons, but he still let the person go back.

only……

He seemed in a bad mood, and grinned for a while, but then realized that he could not do anything to the Qin Duwei.

This matter... seems to be a pity.

When the foodies returned safely, the whole Mengxi restored order.

After all, the sword and sword shadows on the top have nothing to do with ordinary food households. What they can do is just grow tea and mulberry trees.

Qin Shaoyou took back his thoughts.

A blacksmith must be strong himself. Now Qin Shaoyou knows what he wants, so he naturally won’t focus on his body. That kind of thing is not worth his worries.

What's more important is his mulberry, his tea, and his silk.

Winter passes quickly, and is a bit unexpectedly fast.

But this winter, Wu Zetian heard a lot of bad things in Ziwei Palace.

Qin Shaoyou secretly hid the rioters.

Qin Shaoyou saved a lot of money.

Qin Shaoyou is not a thing.

Wu Zetian actually didn't care about such things. After all, she believed in Qin Shaoyou. However, after saying too much, she was still a little tired. What other things did Qin Shaoyou do that are so angry that people resentful, so many people arranged them that things in this world would never be slapped.

Just in the beginning of spring, Shangguan Wan'er finally got in touch with Qin Shaoyou.

The so-called contact is a letter.

When Qin Shaoyou received this letter of thousands of words, he felt a little excited. He hadn't seen Shangguan Wan'er for a long time, and somehow he felt a little missed.

The letter talked about His Majesty's body, some rumors spread in the palace, and some major events in the capital.

"Rumors..." When Qin Shaoyou put down the letter, he smiled slightly in his eyes. He had not cared about the affairs in the temple for a long time, but he knew that these rumors were fatal.

Faced with these fatal things, he seemed to have begun to make up his mind.

But soon, he was distracted by many things.

There are too many things to be busy with when spring begins.

The mulberry tree has leaves, and it is time to raise silkworms at this time, and the camellia has leaves. People must also be organized to pick them. In addition, the fruit of camellia is tea seeds. Tea seeds are actually useless, at least now, but it makes people try every means to buy them on a large scale. Now this thing is almost worth a fortune, so it is not only in Henan Road, but also in Hebei and the prefectures along the river, people are also invited to go up the mountain to pick them.

This thing is very useful to Qin Shaoyou because it can produce tea oil.

Anything that involves oil stars is often profitable in this era, because the oil in this era is very precious, and most of the oils are still in animal oil, and as for vegetable oil, there are very few. After all, there are no olives or peanuts here, so there are not many things that can make vegetable oil, except sesame and vegetable oil. It is not a good idea.

As for the current sesame oil and vegetable oil, and even tea oil extracted by some people, most of them are actually used for other purposes. However, due to the limitations of the process, it is almost difficult to get out of the mouth.

Although in this era, some of the superiors consumed meat and fish, but as the lower class people, because meat and fish are rare, it is naturally impossible to get exposed to luxury goods such as butter and lard, which often lead to malnutrition, pale face and thin skin, and even many diseases.

Now... Qin Shaoyou found a replacement, and he decided to squeeze oil. There are two kinds of tea oil process. One is the so-called military oil. This oil is very simple to squeeze out and is mainly used to deal with the maintenance of swords and swords. The other type of edible oil is very difficult. Although the real edible tea oil did not become popular in the Song Dynasty, Qin Shaoyou also saw many rural areas using primitive methods to make this tea oil when he was young.

But the memory is long after all, so after he made someone build an oil mill, he began to use these fragmented memories to refine tea oil. I don’t know how much time and effort it took, and finally... it was successful.

When Qin Shaoyou saw the oil falling into the oil barrel from the funnel like a waterfall, he knew very well that the opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of him.

After raising mulberry trees, you need to raise silkworms. After raising silkworms, you need to form cocoons. After raising cocoons, you will weave them. After woven, you will either directly make silk or embroider the texture.

After the tea leaves are picked, tea is made, and after the tea trees grow seeds, oil is pressed.

These many things are complicated, but they are busy.

However, it was enough to teach them a sigh of relief when eating households. Whether it was growing tea or mulberry, they were worried. After all, no one had ever used their own land to grow these things. They all said that this year could be exchanged for money, but this was just a short-seller's promise. Who knows whether it was true or false?

But when the tea leaves bloomed and the county magistrate started to collect tea leaves everywhere, the whole Mengjin suddenly became boiling.

Trucks of tea were transported away, but what they received was real money.

However... the only regrettable thing is that Qin Shaoyou collects taxes, and this tax is hard to guard against. Zhao Liu's family has 30 acres of land. Because the land is not good and not fertile, it is planted with camellia. The tea picked now is only more than 200 kilograms, which is a bit worse than the harvest of other households. Only twenty cents per kilogram is spent, which is a real four-cent of coins. Zhao Liu also has a wife and a wife, who are now spinning and embroidering in the private workshop in the village. There is not only a lunch meal, but also a profit of more than 100 yuan. His own sons, one of whom is responsible for driving and transporting for the village, has a lot of income. In addition, the second son trains troops in Tuanjie Camp, and one person eats enough, and the whole family is not hungry. This family is afraid of eleven or two cents of income in a year.

This income may not be worth mentioning to those who do small business in the city, but it is a considerable wealth for farmers who usually eat and drink and sleep.

But Zhuangzi won't give enough money because their algorithm is very simple, that is, twenty coins per pound of tea, only fifteen cents are given to you, and the other five cents are taxes for Tuanjie Camp. As for your wife in a private workshop, she originally had a salary of 180 cents a month, but I'm sorry, she can only give 150 cents, and the other three cents are used to support soldiers.

This method of tax collection is really forever, because the taxes collected by the court are actually the most inaccurate. The taxes in the county are often collected by high-ranking families. The number of high-ranking families is as much as they say. After a hand in the county, they send them to the state. If there is a false report in the state, the crux of this is the crux of the problem. Because of this layer of control, it has led to a certain degree of greatest waste and deduction. Often, a family collects 100 kilograms of grain, but the one who can actually enter the court treasury is probably more than 30 kilograms.

Not to mention, the phenomenon of high-ranking families and wealthy households concealing the reports has made the population who actually pay taxes not exceed 30% of the population.

Here, because all economic activities are closely related to the county public, whether you plant tea and silk to sell, whether your wife works in silk shops or embroidery shops, or your son drives a car for the village, or goes to the village to make iron, you will never avoid the village, and the village directly takes the method of deducting taxes first and then sends you money. In this way, no hidden information will be hidden.

In this way, although the merchants also complained and dissatisfied, they thought that the farm had more money. After all, it was a tax of 20 to 50 yuan, but this complaint did not continue to ferment, because everyone knows that if you refuse to work for the farm, you are afraid that your life will be more difficult. Compared with the merchants in other merchants, or even those free people who own more land, their income is not low. Not only can life go on, but also a better life.

But no one grows grain, which leads to a new problem, that is, although they have money in their hands, it is impossible for men to farm and women to weave like before, and they are self-sufficient. The original survival has been completely broken and broken. People like Zhao Liu, even if they have more than a dozen chunks of money in their family in a year, have to eat and dress after all. Where does this rice come from, where does the clothes come from? Where does the shoes and even the tools of labor come from?

Therefore, Qin Shaoyou, the Duke of Mengjin County, quickly found a solution as a close-fitting cotton jacket for the food households.

He opened a piece of land near his farm to attract vendors to sell all kinds of needs. Soon, traders in Luoyang City flocked to him. Why... there are tens of thousands of households here. What's more terrible is that almost everyone has cash in their hands. Their consumption capacity of food, drink, clothing and consumption will never be less than those of those middle-aged people in Luoyang City. Many prefectures, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people in a state, what's wrong? More than 95% of the people there are planting their own food, eating their own food, and wearing their own clothes and shoes and hats. It may be impossible for them to contribute half a penny to vendors in their lifetime, except for buying some salt and needlework. So to a certain extent, the consumption capacity of the people here may be ten or even a hundred times that of those self-sufficient people.

Can this kind of place not be popular?

Finally, I have written another chapter. I have been confused about the plot recently and it is painful to write it. By the way, is there any comfort? Just encourage it with a ticket, haha! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
