Chapter 314

Of course there is no granary in the village, so He Yuxin would have to build one if she wanted to store the grain.

But the granary is not something without technical difficulties.

If you want to ensure that the food does not rot, become damp, sprout or even spontaneously ignite, the construction of the granary is also key.

But it's a pity that He Yuxin doesn't know this.

Even though she has a lot of fragmented knowledge in her mind, she has a wide range of knowledge because of the company's business.

But she really didn't understand things like granaries, especially granaries in ancient times.

He Yuxin could actually put all the food into space, but she decided not to do so after thinking about it for a while.

First of all, she can't take the food with her, and there are many things in her space, including food.

If the two are mixed together, what will she do next?

Secondly, she can't keep pretending to be a ghost in this book, she has to have a tenable identity.

Food, especially large amounts of food, was the hardest currency in ancient times during the Little Ice Age.

And He Yuxin also knew that having so much food stored in her hands when she was still young was a time bomb.

She wants to have capital but doesn't want to be a big fat person.

The former determines the fate of others, while the latter can only become a resource package for others.

Therefore, the safer way is to keep enough food for yourself and then find someone to sell the food as soon as possible.

Her identity as a 'monster' can still scare some people. As long as she doesn't recite it so much, she should be able to develop smoothly.

After careful consideration, He Yuxin finalized the plan to sell grain.

Communication was not developed in this era, which meant that even if He Yuxin had food for sale, other merchants would not know about it.

What He Yuxin did was to pay taxes.

Of course it's not her own tax, but the taxes of those villagers.

She is a 'monster'. What kind of land tax does a 'monster' have to pay?

Although doing so would most likely cause other unnecessary risks, He Yuxin still decided to take this path.

Paying taxes and then attracting attention is a conspiracy.

The last resort is to find someone to sell food secretly.

After He Yuxin made this decision, she asked the refugees to prepare.

Those refugees are still harvesting food. A large area of ​​land on He Yuxin's side has been cut and even the wheat has been threshed. Not even half of the fields on their side have been harvested.

He Yuxin uses agricultural machinery here, and the refugees can only bend down and harvest by themselves.

Although very tired, they were all happy until He Yuxin told them that they had to pay taxes.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. When He Yuxin persisted in asking if he had to pay taxes, He Yuxin just shook his head.

"You are the citizens of this country, and you should pay taxes to this country."

The person who spoke anxiously retorted.

"We, we are already slaves, we sold ourselves, we are your slaves."

He Yuxin said nonchalantly.

"You did sign the deed of sale, but I didn't get it notarized." Before the contract was notarized, it was just a piece of paper with writing on it, and the deed of sale was the same thing in He Yuxin's eyes.

This group of refugees was obviously even more panicked, but they didn't know how to persuade He Yuxin. They just kept saying that they had sold themselves and were slaves.

Obviously paying taxes makes them very scared.

He Yuxin let them read it, and after reading it for a long time, she would still reply with a half-smile.

"Now you know that I am the master? What have you been doing? You are disobedient. I haven't done anything to you, so you can just go and enjoy yourself. I have already finished my words. Pay the taxes you should pay. Don't let me say the second time."

After saying that, He Yuxin left, leaving the villagers looking as panic-stricken as if they were mourning for their heirs.

They didn't know why they offended He Yuxin. They felt that they were already very obedient.

Then on second thought, they began to express their anger again, thinking that those people who were greedy for money and released He Yuxin's captives had offended He Yuxin, so that they were angered.

He Yuxin only found out later that those people who were locked up had been deprived of food and beaten by other villagers. Now they were locked up with bruises and swollen faces, which was really pitiful.

He Yuxin really didn't expect that they would react so loudly to just paying taxes. She felt that there was something fishy going on, so she casually asked the 'mother-in-law' who was waiting beside her.

Who knew that as soon as she asked, the 'mother-in-law' who acted very respectfully knelt down to her with a thud!

He Yuxin admitted that she was frightened. She was sitting well on the chair, but when she knelt down, she subconsciously wanted to get out of the way.

But fortunately, he held back his subconscious actions, and then heard the 'mother-in-law' start to cry loudly.

A very, very loud one.

She has personally trained these women who follow her closely and take care of her daily life. Although they are not up to the level of normal maids, they can still do small things such as speaking softly and keeping themselves clean.

In addition, these women are very efficient at work and have everything at home and abroad. He Yuxin's life is quite comfortable.

But this time, the opponent obviously succeeded.

He Yuxin had a headache from her noise, but she did not interrupt her crying, but listened carefully to what she was saying while crying.

She learned the truth from those words.

In He Yuxin's opinion, tax is a truly common thing.

As a businessman, you should pay taxes normally, do charity, and help people in need. These are the necessities to establish a good reputation.

In He Yuxin's eyes, this is a normal investment, and the return is much more than the effort.

But from what this woman said, paying taxes to the court was a very 'terrible' thing.

First of all, today's land tax has increased by 60%, which means that 60% of the output of one acre of land needs to be handed over to the court. However, this is still the most basic land tax.

There will be other miscellaneous taxes that need to be paid later. Once these taxes are paid, the output from their fields will basically be spent.

With no output in the fields, they have no hope. The scenes of fleeing from famine are still vivid in their minds, and they don’t want to go back to the old days!

He Yuxin didn't know that in fact, they and a group of refugees did not come from the same village, but three villages merged together.

Too many people died on the way to escape the famine. In the end, there were only a few people left in their three villages, and the tragedy was nothing short of tragic.

From howling at the beginning to sobbing and convulsing afterwards, the woman was worried and scared. In the end, she begged He Yuxin, hoping that He Yuxin would not do that, and that they could just live in a corner. They occupied the village, which had obviously been abandoned for a long time. , the grain collectors won’t come this way!

The woman was looking forward to it, but He Yuxin just shook her head.

She said when the woman's eyes were full of despair.
