……

I was so happy in my heart, but my expression looked like weeping with joy and said: "Uncle Fourth, you treat me so well."

"Our family, Li Ci, is still very well-behaved. As long as you study hard, Fourth Uncle will have other rewards." Wang Shouzhe smiled and rubbed her head and said, "For example, those delicious dried fish and so on. ."

Hmph! Even though I, Wang Lizi, am a young girl, girls still have dignity. Don’t think that you can bribe them with some dried fish...

But when the words came to his lips, his eyes shone brightly, and he said with excitement: "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, how much reward can you give me?"

"It's up to you to handle the Haizhen snacks brought back from this trip." Wang Shouzhe said generously.

"Woooo~ Fourth uncle, you are so good to me." Wang Lizi was so excited that tears fell down. She looked at Wang Shouzhe with tears in her eyes, feeling that she should never slander fourth uncle in her heart, and even more He shouldn't be beaten until his face blooms. Where can I find such a good fourth uncle?

"Well, Fourth Uncle believes that you can handle it well and must distribute it fairly to everyone." Wang Shouzhe added, "Every person under the age of twenty in our family will have one share of these snacks. You have learned arithmetic and accounting in the nine chapters. Right? Remember whoever receives it must sign on the account book."

Ping! all! point! match!

She had to hand-deliver precious snacks door to door. How cruel and cruel!

Fourth uncle, you are bullying others too much, I will fight with you...

Unfortunately, after Wang Shouzhe finished his instructions, he disappeared in front of her.

The girl was left alone with a few books, messy in the wind.

……

Wang Shouzhe returned to his courtyard and did not deal with anything, but took a short rest. This trip back and forth to Hyakushima Guardian was a bit tiring both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, the danger has passed. As long as Patriarch Longyan can recover, the Ping An Wang family will have a real foothold.

A night of silence.

The next day, Wang Shouzhe and his aunt Gongsun Hui met once. The accounts that should be reported were reported, and the items that should be put into the treasury were put into the treasury. In short, for such a large family, the accounts cannot be messed up, otherwise all kinds of bad problems will occur.

Gongsun Hui was also frightened by all kinds of surprising things and gains while doing the accounting. Why does Shouzhe bring unexpected surprises every time he comes back from a trip?

"Auntie, I deserve the first place." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "In terms of resources, I am going to give myself a little more luxury. The monthly spiritual food supply is twice as much as before. Xiao Peiyuan Dan has increased his monthly supply from 1 piece, which will be increased to 3 pieces per month. I also need 1 yuan-pei dan every month, and a spiritual stone for the time being."

As a result, Wang Shouzhe's use of resources has reached an extremely extravagant and exaggerated level. The spiritual rice alone is fifteen kilograms per month, and the spiritual fish and spiritual flesh are fifteen kilograms each.

Including the consumption of elixirs, excluding spiritual stones, the cultivation resources will reach eight to nine hundred gold in one year.

Under normal circumstances, after he was promoted to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, his one-year cultivation resource budget was only more than two hundred dry gold at most, but now it is four times the amount! Four or five times the resources would not allow Wang Shouzhe to practice four or five times faster.

There is a principle of diminishing marginal effects here. At most, it can be more than twice as fast as before. With the help of spiritual stones, it can only be faster at most, but certainly not three times faster than before. look.

For an ordinary Xuanwu family, even if they were to raise a first-order legitimate son, even if they were aiming for the Lingtai realm, they would never be so extravagant.

Such a request made even Gongsun Hui widen his eyes and be a little surprised: "Logically speaking, with your merits Shouzhe, there is nothing wrong with applying for so many cultivation resources. It's just that I'm afraid of those clan elders who are used to being frugal. , you will have some opinions. But it doesn’t matter, with Longyan Ancestor supporting you behind your back, no one will gossip."

A family is a family for everyone. It is not owned by Wang Shouzhe, the patriarch. The other family elders can naturally express their opinions.

But Wang Shouzhe doesn't care. With his ability, the family will gradually enter the stage of transformation. Besides, if the contribution system is implemented, when it comes to contribution, Patriarch Longyan will definitely be first and he will be second.

In fact, he believes that his future contribution will be greater than that of Longyan Ancestor.

The reason why he takes up so many resources is not because he is evil, but because he really doesn’t want to have the opportunity to attack the spiritual platform until he is middle-aged. The most important thing is that this fantasy world is too dangerous. With his current level of cultivation running around, problems will occur sooner or later.

Therefore, it is safer to stay within the family and speed up the training to reach the Lingtai realm so that you can have some self-protection ability.

After the matter was agreed upon, Wang Shouzhe asked again: "Madam, how is the insect plague going?"

Ten days after he left Changning Guard, he fell behind in terms of intelligence. The situation at Baidaowei is different. There are very few fields opened up. Perhaps because of the geographical isolation, there has been no disaster there.

However, food shortages have become inevitable in the future, and even the Hundred Island Guards will be affected by food shortages.

"The situation is very bad." Gongsun Hui said with a serious expression. "Except for a limited number of families, the rest of the families have experienced a decrease in grain production. But the most severely affected are the homesteaders within the sphere of influence of each family in each city and town. . Their ability to withstand disasters is too poor, and their production has generally been reduced by about 70%."

Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly: "Although if the production is reduced by 70%, the losses will be heavy, but with the addition of new grains, it will not be difficult for the farmers to persist until the next season's rice matures? It is not worse than the tenant farmers."

"Shouzhe, you don't know something." Gongsun Hui explained, "First of all, let me tell you about tenant farmers. A tenant farmer family usually has one to six or seven people. Let's calculate it as an ordinary tenant farmer with three people in a household and two husband and wife as labor force. , they should be able to farm twenty acres of land. The total value of rice and wheat in a normal year is about 600 coppers. Among them, insecticide powder costs about 40 coppers, and the amortization of cattle, farm tools, and grain seeds is about 20 coppers. The family has its own fertile land. Adopting a tax system of 4 per mu of land, that is, 1 tax for each of the towns and counties, and 20 acres of fertile land requires 80 tons of copper tax. This leaves about 460 tons of copper, which needs to be divided with the main family. That is, this tenant farmer can get 138 tons of copper. Benefits."

"A sharecropper family of three members only has a little more than one dry gold per year. After excluding daily expenses, there is nothing left." Wang Shouzhe touched his nose, feeling a little surprised. I have calculated farm income before, but I have not carefully calculated the income of tenant farmers.

"The reason why tenant farmers are more resistant to risks is because after all, they are supported by the Xuanwu family." Gongsun Hui said, "In order to stabilize the tenant farmers' operations, the owner will have a minimum guarantee for the tenant farmers. Even if there is no harvest, there will still be 60 The huge copper income allows them to farm with peace of mind."

Of course, these returns are not purely dry gold. It is the combined book value of the distributed materials and dry money.

"In addition, tenant farmers usually raise a small amount of chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and grow some fruits, vegetables, etc. in front of and behind the house. These will be supplied to our family, and the net income in a year can also be twenty or thirty coppers. ." Gongsun Hui explained patiently, "During slack times, we will also organize tenant farmers to carry out reclamation, river dredging, building houses, strengthening river embankments, etc., which will cost about 20 coppers. So one household An ordinary sharecropper family of three can earn 1,890 coppers a year, and even in a disaster year it can exceed 100 coppers."

Wang Shouzhe nodded secretly after hearing this. In this way, the life of the tenant farmers was relatively stable. After all, they had the protection of their masters, so they could survive even if they tightened their belts in disaster years. If you encounter a good year and live a more frugal life, you can still save a large amount of copper.

"But the owner-farmers are different." Gongsun Hui said, "Like the tenant farmer family just now, the owner-farmers with 20 acres of land, if their production is reduced by 70% this season, they will only earn 90 tons of copper this season. The rental of cattle and seeds will cost 10 coppers, and the insect killer powder will cost 20 coppers. The tax is 5 tax system, and the family town, county, and county each have 1 tax. Now is the time to collect the summer tax. Twenty acres of land need to pay 50 coppers. Copper taxes. How much do they have left?"

As I said before, the local Xuanwu family has the responsibility of keeping the people in peace and guarding the land. If there are bandits and ferocious beasts, the family must clean up and deal with any vicious incidents. At the same time, they must assist the local garrison in collecting taxes. Therefore, aristocratic families also have to pay 1 tax on fertile land within their sphere of influence.

However, the Wang family's current sphere of influence is very small. In addition to its own farm, which has a total of about 600 tenant farmers, the sphere of influence is only about a thousand households, and the total number of fertile farmland under its jurisdiction is far less than 20,000 acres for common people. , the tax collected every year amounts to a hundred and dozens of gold, and there is still a lot of consumption, which can only be said to be better than nothing.

"So, those farmers have basically lost their harvest this season?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, "In this case, do we still need to collect taxes?"

"Taxation is the foundation of the country. Towns, guards, counties, and countries all rely on taxation for support. Land tax is the largest tax. Without this tax, it is difficult for institutions at all levels to maintain." Gongsun Hui explained, " During this summer harvest, Longzuo County's national taxes may be exempted. But after all, there will still be some homesteader families who are not well-run and will encounter great difficulties. At this time, some Xuanwu families will often start to annex land. strategy."

"For example, the Zhao family and the Liu family suffered severe losses this time, and their eyes seemed to be red. There are various signs that they want to take advantage of the chaos to annex some land." Gongsun Hui sneered, "A jackal is a jackal, even if Even if you wear the skin of a noble family, you still cannot escape your greedy nature."
