Several consecutive sunny days passed, and the mountains and fields were covered with a layer of golden color. The sorghum planted in the ground also matured, with heavy ears of grain bent down.

The autumn harvest season begins.

Wang Hua did not leave his hometown immediately, he stayed.

First, although he hid a piece of silver cake that Di Renjie "buyed" him. If he used it to spend the day, it would be a lot of money, and if he used it to start a business, it would be far from enough.

Wang Hua once converted it with the current price. Now every penny is only equivalent to less than 300 yuan in his previous life. If other factors are considered, it will not be enough for 400 yuan. In other words, this silver cake is only a few thousand yuan, and it has entered the center of the world today and is full of countless nobles. What can Luoyang do?

Even if he leaves, he must calculate it clearly before he leaves.

There is another reason. He planted dozens of acres of crops at home, and all the burden was on his mother and elder sister. He couldn't bear it. Since the last year, he has been trying to learn to do some farm work and help them a little during the busy farming period.

Only Wang Hua was suspicious that his father also came to the field. Although the ingredients for causing trouble were even greater than those for help, he finally woke up, put down his airs and started working?

Time flies, and a few more days pass by quickly.

Although the Du family came to withdraw from the marriage, because Wang Yi put down his body and his temper seemed to be changing, he did not use bamboo strips these days. Instead, the Wang family abandoned the atmosphere of joy.

However, the bad luck of the Wang family did not end because of Wang Yi's changes. A few days later, a big thing happened.

Perhaps many people believe that in the early Tang Dynasty, there were only tens of millions of people, and they planted land that would feed more than one billion people in the future. In addition, the equal-field system of the Tang Dynasty, in order to be more fair, the court also divided each family into nine levels, and each level received different taxes, so as to protect the best interests of the poor and prevent social conflicts from intensifying. Farmers should be able to live a good life.

But in fact, this is as funny as the Great Leap Forward.

First of all, the equal-field system. The Tang Dynasty rulers had a good idea. At first, the normal Ding household gave 100 acres of land, but later when the land merger was serious, even the old boys and children gave dozens of acres of land. But this one was just the ruler who was fantasizing about it.

In fact, the land held by the Tang Dynasty court was one of the unowned land, and the other was the land that was lost. At first, the number of people was killed or fled due to war, and two-thirds of the loss was lost, and countless powerful people were also killed. A large amount of land was spared. But later the society was stable and the population increased. At the same time, the rewards of meritorious soldiers, ministers and powerful people were still rewarded, further squeezed the land space. In fact, there were almost no prefectures and counties that really allocated land according to the Tang Dynasty's equal land order. In the end, it led to a result. In order to consolidate the equal land order, the court found ways to squeeze the land. Some farmers actually had a way to squeeze the land. The fields assigned by some farmers were thirty or forty miles away. Think about it, they didn't farm. They just ran back and forth, and there was no more day.

Another important reason is that there is a lack of fertilizer now, and many lands have to take round-root measures because of the leverage. The grain types are single and the yield is very low. Therefore, the same land can feed more than one billion people in Wang Hua's previous life, but it is difficult to support 40 to 50 million people at this time.

That's it. Nowadays, industry and commerce are still very backward, of course much better than in the past. The main source of wealth now comes from land. Although the Tang Dynasty strictly prohibited the sale of Yongyekou and the distribution of land, this ban had little effect. What further intensified social conflicts was that these emerging commoners and landlords, as well as the original gentry families, had a large amount of land and wealth in their hands. When dividing levels, they divided their families into inferiors to avoid various corvee taxes. But the taxes in a county must be paid, so all these taxes and labor are pressed on other civilians.

Some prefectures and counties are too oppressed, and many people fled to foreign lands.

For example, Laoqinggou, the mountain village where the Wang family is located, originally had only one hundred households. Later, because of the construction of a large number of magnetic kilns, a large number of workers were needed. Nearly a hundred households were moved in, and most of these people moved in were composed of fugitive households.

However, in general, the merger may be because Wu Zetian deliberately relaxed in order to win the support of emerging landlords. He had just begun and the population had not reached its peak. All contradictions have not yet become prominent, and the Tang Dynasty is still moving forward one after another.

Originally, when the Wang family had not declined, it was the only wealthy family among nearly 200 households in Qingshangou, just like a crane stands out. The taxes were paid by the top second-class families. But later Wang Yi did not know how to manage it, and his property gradually declined. Gong County also continued to lower his family and finally became a middle-class second-class family. This was also because Wang Yi had close contacts with some officials in the county before his family property was defeated, and perhaps Wang Yi had lost a lot of money to them. These officials still had some friendship, so they took the initiative to divide his property downward to reduce taxes and reduce the pressure on their families.

In fact, in Wang Hua's mind, except for a few large tiled houses, the Wang family could be called a lower-class family in the village. At least the laborers in other villagers can also work in the caves to get some income, and even go to the mountains to hunt and improve their food. But what about the Wang family? Apart from dozens of acres of thin land, there is almost nothing.

But less than two days after the crops were recovered this year, the county government came to collect taxes and suddenly renamed his family as the top third-class family. This adjustment was undoubtedly as embarrassed as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and pushed him hard behind him.

Wang Yi was not convinced and asked why his family was reclassified?

The county yamen runners and the village were just smiling and asking Wang Yi: "Is your family aristocratic? Look again, Qingshangu has another house that is as beautiful as yours? Now I haven't asked you that you have been escaping taxes for so many years, but just sorting your family into third place is considered taking care of your family."

Wang Yi also needs to distinguish.

Wang Hua pulled his hand and persuaded him, "Yeah, forget it."

Wang Hua understood that he didn't know whether it was the Yu family or the Du family, because of what he said that night, revenge on him. But people are in love, and people are gone. The group of officials who had some friendship with his father back then have almost all been transferred to other places in the past few years. Without friendship and money, where can we seek justice? What are we going to fight with the Yu and Du family?

Let's bear this tone for the time being.

Wang Yi sniffed him hard, trying to get angry, but he didn't say anything. Then he sat on the chair dejectedly. Originally, the Wang family was a little harder, but he could barely survive until next summer harvest.

Now that the level has been raised, taxes have increased. Not to mention the summer is over, maybe even spring cannot be defeated.

Not only Wang Yi, but also Wang Hua's mother and Dafeng felt the pressure brought by this change, and their faces became pale. Sanfeng and Sifeng were still ignorant, but they saw that everyone's faces were not good-looking, so they nervously swept over with their eyes.

Wang Hua laughed and said to everyone: "Yeah, mother, don't be nervous. There is no way out at the end of the road, and there is another village in the dark. They do this, so that everyone can see their false benevolence and righteousness."

However, this forced Wang Hua to finally make up his mind to leave his hometown and go to Luoyang to find vitality.

Another quiet night passed.

In the green sky in the east, a big egg yolk rose slowly, and the earth was covered with a layer of oily red, apricot yellow, pine green, and purple. Under a colorful and magnificent color, the earth began a new day of vitality.

Wang Hua is finally leaving.

His mother was crying. Although the teenager is more precocious now, he is a twelve-year-old child after all. What can he do?

In fact, not to mention Wang Yi, even she is the same. She thinks that Wang Hua can really save the family back just by going out for a while? Not to mention that the two big families of Yu Du bowed their heads. Wang Yi is preparing to sell some of the houses, and even intends to take the initiative to put down his body and find a job in the magnetic kiln to survive this crisis.

Taking advantage of Wang Yi's inattention, Wang Hua's mother took out a few pieces of jewelry from her arms and said to Wang Hua: "If you encounter difficulties, you pawn these jewelry."

This is the dowry she got married.

There weren't too many words, but this action made Wang Hua feel a strong sense of warmth. He shook his head and said, "No. Look, this is the money I earned from selling two paintings."

As he said that, he took out the silver cake and whispered, "You can't let Yeye know."

Until now, Wang Hua is still worried about this father, so he saves fear that he will know. If he forces the money away, his future will be even more difficult.

His mother nodded.

Wang Hua said again: "Mother, please feel relieved this time."

At this time, Sanfeng and Sifeng walked over and said, "Second brother, work hard."

Unlike the worries of Dafeng and Queen Mother, these two little girls are full of confidence in this brother.

"Okay, work hard!" Wang Hua clenched his fists, then laughed and left Qingshan Valley!
Chapter completed!
