Chapter 107: Changing Location
After Liu Juye came, Xu Shaoyan also came within a few days.
He received the news from his subordinates, and was afraid that something would go wrong with Su Qingyu, so he rushed over here.
"Nothing happened to you here, right?"
Su Qingyu shook her head and joked: "It's nothing. It's just that I earn less money. How about a lower price? However, it's easier to collect vegetables and fruits now. That's right, it's a lot more troublesome to get in and out."
Xu Shaoyan smiled and then calmed down.
He tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while, and suggested: "Dried vegetables and fruits, is it possible to make dried vegetables and fruits in your village? Then the village also dug a large cellar underground."
"Ah, let's make it in Zhuangzi?" Su Qingyu hasn't thought about that place yet.
"Yes. Our family can open up the joints, but I can't do anything about you. Now every town in Pingchuan County has set up tax cards, but Pingchuan County does not. He is not so bold as to dare to set up tax cards in the county. There are so many families, He is also afraid of causing a backlash. Your Zhuangzi is close to Pingchuan County, so I made it directly at Zhuangzi, and I asked people to transport it, which saved a lot of tax on both sides. "
Seeing Su Qingyu deep in thought, he added, "I haven't congratulated you yet on the birth of your son. Don't you want to earn more for your son? I heard that you were separated and your son was also levied a Ding tax?" "
Su Qingyu glanced at him and bared her teeth: "You said, my son is not as long as my arms, so he is going to be taxed? I don't know what to say. If the county wants him to be a laborer, please feel free to do so. If you take it, why don't you ask for tax exemption? I am also a slave to the person who came up with these names.
Xu Shaoyan smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Do you think our family paid less? In addition to taxes, we also paid a large sum of filial piety money, and the head of our family had to hold it up with a respectful smile. What did we say?"
Su Qingyu shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Has he collected enough this time? I'm afraid the private treasury will overflow. Will the tax card be withdrawn?"
Xu Shaoyan glanced sideways at her, as if she was childish: "You are overthinking. You have tasted the sweetness, can you not eat the meat in front of you?"
Too.
If a large box of gold ingots falls in front of Su Qingyu and she doesn't look at it, then she is simply not a human being. The meat is even in your mouth. If you don’t eat it, you must not be an ordinary person.
It's just that Fengting Town is visibly deserted. The shops on the street were deserted and desolate. The shopkeepers and their colleagues stared at each other and went out to attract customers.
But for food, clothing, housing and transportation, your clothes can be patched, and you only need a roof to cover your body. You don’t have to travel, but can you not eat?
Su Qing's store was busier than other stores, and she was jealous of all the merchants. But, looking at the little profit left on the books, Su Qingyu also had a headache.
The past two years have actually been pretty good. It's summer now, and the fruits and vegetables in the fields are ripening one after another. If you don't pick them, will they rot in the ground? But even if you pick and sell them, you won't make much profit.
All the farmers hate the tax differences caused by the tax cards set up at different levels.
Su Qingnao persisted for a few more days, and saw that Uncle Zhao and Uncle Lu, who originally supplied him with vegetables, came to him on behalf of their respective villages, begging Su Qingnao to go to the countryside and collect the vegetables from the villagers, otherwise they would rot in the fields. .
This year not only was the local tax overpaid, but a bunch of other inexplicable taxes were also collected, causing households to complain. The half-grown children, both boys and girls, were sent out to find odd jobs. Otherwise, the little output from the fields would not only be insufficient to pay taxes, but it would also be difficult to feed the family.
Su Qingyu made a decision and took Su's father and Su Dahu to Zhuangzi where Xu Shaoyan transferred the ownership to her.
Because Xiaobao had to nurse every hour, Su Qingyu took Xiaobao with her. Worried that no one would look after him, he took Xiao Qingxing with him.
Now the little baby can't roll over yet, and he won't cry as long as he's fed. He's pretty easy to take care of at this time. Just feed him and put him to bed with someone watching.
That Zhuangzi is on the outskirts of Pingchuan County, and Su Qingyu has not been there yet. At that time, the family was not separated and she was living in the Lu family, so it was difficult for her to do anything. Before, Su's father was asked to guide the tenants and farm servants in farming, and Su Dahu was asked to carry vegetables there, but she only said that someone else entrusted her to manage it.
But now it's hard to hide it from the two of them anymore.
On the carriage, when Su's father finished listening, his jaw almost dropped.
What did he hear? The Zhuangzi he had taught before belonged to his daughter? In such a big Zhuangzi, all the prostitutes are prostitutes? When did she buy it? Is the son-in-law hiding so deeply?
Su Dahu was also very surprised, but he was not as exaggerated as Su's father. He has helped Su Qingyu this year and knows some things about her. He has made a lot of money himself, not to mention Qingyu. It's just that everyone thought that she was just doing the vegetable and meat business in the shop, making two or three taels a day.
Xiao Qingxing was excited: "Sister, are we going to your village? Is it my sister's village? There is also an old man's village near our village. It's so big. I heard it has more than 200 acres of fertile land and many yards. There are servants."
Su Qingyu held her son in one hand and rubbed her hair with a smile. After raising the child for more than a year, he had grown a lot. He was no longer skinny and his hair had become thicker and thicker.
"My sister hasn't been there either, so I don't know what it is like. We'll know after we go and see it later."
"Yeah." Xiao Qingxing was very excited. Why isn't my brother Xiu Mu today? Can't he come with me to see my sister's Dazhuangzi?
Father Su closed his chin and swallowed hard. In the past, during the slack season, he and several brothers had gone to the village near their village to do odd jobs, and they had also seen the owner of the village, surrounded by a bunch of people. That was the aura of a landlord.
Didn't he expect his daughter to have a big farm?
When he listened to his daughter and went to the farm to grow vegetables, he wondered what kind of person the farm owner was, with so many fertile fields. Didn't he expect that the farm owner was right next to him?
"Um, Qing'an, your farm was obtained by your son-in-law from his grandfather? Does your father-in-law know?"
This honest father was afraid that his son-in-law had concealed the property and the property would be taken back and redistributed.
"It's not him. I earned it."
"You earned it?" Father Su was surprised.
"We sell dried fruits and vegetables from cellar to cellar, and Dad never asked where we sold them and who we sold them to?"
Father Su didn't even think about it: "Why would Dad ask that? It's enough to know that the things you make can be sold." After speaking, he paused and looked at Su Qing'an: "Um, can you earn a farm?"
"Is it so profitable, sister?" Xiao Qingxing also looked at her with her mouth wide open.
Su Qing'an smiled and said, "It's not the things that make money, it's the technology that makes money. Sister sold this technology, and people used it to make a lot more dried fruits and vegetables than we did and sold them outside, and that's what made money. And didn't sister ask Grandma Zhou to fry noodles last time? They can be kept for a long time, and that person is also rare."
Su's father remembered, "Yes, I went to the neighboring county with Dahu to collect vegetables last winter, and brought some to eat on the road. Soak them in hot water and add some dried vegetables we made. It's really fragrant, convenient and warm, much better than eating dry biscuits in the cold weather."
Su Dahu felt warm in his heart when he thought of the dried noodles, dried vegetables, pickles, etc. that Su Qing'an asked him to bring with him when he went out in the winter. He never felt that running outside in the cold weather was a torture.
"Sister, is that valuable?"
"It's valuable if you sell it to someone who needs it."
"Then why don't we make it ourselves and sell it?"
"We don't have the manpower, and we don't have the connections. And once we make it, someone will copy it. Only big families will make it, and others won't dare to compete with them."
Su's father and Su Dahu both understood. Su Dahu looked at Su Qing'an with a strange look, and then looked at the baby in her arms. Seeing her looking at the little treasure in her arms tenderly, he felt a little bit of indescribable bitterness in his heart.
