Pastoral Song [Farming]

"Really! Brother Ye, should we report to the Yamen if we set up a stall?"

Makino remembered that there were still some rules for doing business in ancient times. If he wanted to operate seriously, he had to behave in a disciplined manner. He didn't plan to do things like tax evasion.

"Well, I'm going to go to the Yamen for filing."

Although the change of the old and new dynasties in Lingnan Kingdom has not been long, the emperors sitting on it are all doing practical things. After the war, Lingnan Kingdom has great room for development, regardless of agriculture and commerce, so the state monitors and manages this aspect The formulation of laws and regulations are relatively detailed and rigorous.The tax that merchants have to pay is also divided into different proportions according to their income.

For example, the small South Street market that Muye had seen before, mainly gathered people who came from various villages to sell some fresh fruits and vegetables, or came from outside to occasionally do small transactions.In this case, you only need to pay the city fee, and there are no other taxes.

But the scope is limited to the small market, and you are not allowed to walk around. There are special officials guarding the outside of the market. Fishing in troubled waters is never allowed, and at the same time, local ruffians and bullies are prevented from taking the opportunity to oppress the people.Although there will be some dereliction of duty, it is already many times better than the chaotic scene of the previous dynasty.

After all, a country riddled with holes cannot be governed in an orderly manner in just a few years, let alone such a place where the emperor is far away.

If there is a fixed stall like Muye, but no storefront, the yamen will divide some suitable streets in the local area into grids of different sizes, and as long as there are vacant ones, you can go to the yamen to file for the record and pay money to rent them out.The annual tax is only 5.00%, which is to take care of some small traders.Don't underestimate these five points, there are many places on a street that can be divided to do business.

Makino admired secretly, the emperor is really a smart man, and often these small places are the ones where little can be gathered to make more.Moreover, a country must have strict legal protection in order to go further and faster.As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules!

But if there is a storefront, it will be different. The tax will also increase in the same proportion according to the size of the storefront and the income situation.

Relatively speaking, this country is still very protective of businessmen, and it is not the same as in the past and ancient times, when scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were the least valued.

In Lingnan country, merchants are also eligible to take the scientific examination, but after high school, they are no longer allowed to do business.That's why the advantages of the family will be revealed at this time: Some people are officials, some people are in business, and separate operations have been the way of survival for some big families since ancient times, so that there are endless examples of government-business collusion.

"Then do we have to go to the town to go through these procedures?"

"You don't need to go anymore, just let Daniel do it."

After all, it’s just a small place to rent, and the yamen won’t care who you rent it to, especially since there are so many places like this in the town, they won’t rent them out at all, and they’re not afraid of scalpers reselling them, even if there are, if If it is discovered, not only will the government confiscate the rented land, but it will also be fined, which is not worth the candle.

The rent of the stalls is not a uniform price: the stalls in the bustling areas will be more expensive, and the prices in remote locations will be relatively lower.Although the place Makino and the others rented is on the main street of North Street, it is near the end of the street. The traffic flow is not as bustling as the shop in front of it. It only costs two taels of silver a year, which is very cost-effective.

Makino thought: I need to buy some books quickly to start studying. The world is not as chaotic as imagined, on the contrary some rules are very strict.

Although it is still an imperial society, everyone may not abide by it, and it may not be useful, but it is always good to know more.I always walk on the edge of the cliff, and I will fall down one day and be smashed to pieces.

"Brother Ye, are you literate?"

Makino's intuition told him that Jiang Ye was [-]% literate, maybe his level of education was not low.

"Does Ono want to read?"

"Well, it will be easier to do business and keep accounts after knowing more characters."

"Then next time I go to the town to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If Ono is willing, I can teach you."

"Really! Brother Ye!"

Jiang Ye is a mature, preoccupied child.

In my memory, my mother was weak and couldn't go out to work to earn money. She could only do some embroidery work at home to support the family. Even so, when he was five years old, my mother had already invited her husband to enlighten him.

Jiang Ye was sad, but he felt sorry for his mother but could do nothing, so he studied books and poems more and more seriously. Whenever the husband praised him for being smart, studious, and clever, his mother would happily touch him.

Even in the next few years, when the family life became poorer and poorer, my mother still did not give up his studies, and even invited a skilled martial arts master back when he was older.

If not, how could he, a helpless and weak child, survive in a place like the battlefield where human lives piled up, and how would he be able to catch the eyes of his master, who was willing to accept him as a disciple and teach him personally?

Makino was really happy, his secrets were infiltrated with Jiang Ye little by little, but he still knew nothing about Jiang Ye.

Whether he cares about his boyfriend or possesses him, it makes him feel an unbalanced sense of crisis.Even if you can't break the casserole rationally and ask the bottom line, you will always feel a little unhappy emotionally.

In this world, there are only a handful of farmers who can afford to read.Not to mention Jiang Ye, who is both civil and military, his family background is definitely not too simple.Isn't it an indirect expression that he is willing to teach himself how to read?They are all trying to get closer to each other!

Both of them were very tired after a busy day. They ate a bowl of enema for dinner and tried various flavors of condiments and marinades. The mouse acted as a conscientious one.

Jiang Ye couldn't bear Makino standing in front of the stove and bending over to keep trying. He was sweating profusely from the heat and panting from exhaustion, so he pestered him to teach him what to do.When he has learned it, let Ono sit beside him and collect the money, and he will do all the work.

On the second day, the sun was so high that the villagers went down to harvest the wheat.

Due to the special geographical location of Futian Village, the wheat is harvested late. Every year between the end of June and the middle of July is the rush harvest season.Next, we need to re-plow the land to plant short-growing crops such as peanuts and sweet potatoes.In October, a new crop of wheat is planted to wait for the winter.

In such a busy season, the Jiang family man and his future husband are still sleeping in bed?

In the room, Muye hugged Jiang Ye's arm and lay on his strong and lean chest, purring loudly, with a string of unknown liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ye helplessly pulled the quilt to cover Makino's exposed shoulders, hugged him tightly, patted his back comfortingly, and closed his eyes.

Since sleeping with the little guy, he has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, but he just couldn't make up his mind to leave this little thing alone in the house.He was probably really stuck in it, unable to extricate himself!

The price for getting up late is: Jiang Ye believes that Mu Ye is overworked these days and needs to lie down to recuperate!

Originally planned to cut bamboo to make a shelf, but Jiang Ye temporarily regretted it.If it wasn't for what Ono said, he wanted to fight with him, what kind of "earthly love is crooked"?He had already gone to the carpenter.

Look at the little guy who doesn't want to lift his tired arms now, why does he have other thoughts?

Decisively shut Muye to rest at home, went to the village carpenter Tang's house by himself, and ordered a small cart with wheels.I chopped a few bamboos along the way to fight back home: Ono will definitely be angry, anyway, the mung bean box is easy to make and requires no effort, so just play with the little guy to relieve boredom.

"Ono, I'm back."

At this time, Makino moved a small stool to sit in the shade of the eaves, and set up a small table nearby, where he placed a plate of various snacks, candied fruit, and melon seeds.There was actually a delicate small pot the size of a palm, and the aroma of the brewing tea filled the garden.

This was arranged by Jiang Ye before he went out, but that guy actually locked him in the house!Hmph, he's mad at him, so ignore him.

Unloading the bamboo on his shoulders, in a blink of an eye, he saw the little guy with bulging cheeks, round eyes, a little bit of condemnation and anger, staring at him aggressively, his little mouth pouted enough to hold an oil bottle.

Jiang Ye was a little amused, patted the dust off his body, walked over and poked Makino's little face: "Xiaoye, your body is just right, Tong Langzhong said, don't be too tired, you need to take care of it."

"Hmph, it's clearly agreed, we'll make shelves together."

Don't think that if you tempt me with delicious food, you will forgive me, and still poke me?Acting like a baby is not okay...

"Hey, look, I've chopped the bamboo back. When you're healthy, we'll make a whole house of shelves, shall we?"

He put his hands under Makino's armpit, lifted it lightly, sat on the stool, hugged him in his arms, squeezed a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into Makino's mouth: Xiaoye is still too thin, when will he be able to grow like a steamed bun? White and fat, really worrying...

"But the charcoal hasn't burned either."

Skillfully stretched out his arms to wrap around Jiang Ye's neck, and rubbed it: I know Jiang Ye cares about him, but he just can't relax, he is afraid that when he is free, he will think about the past and make himself nervous.

"We will burn it in the backyard later, you command, I will do it, okay?"

"Well, that's fine."

Makino is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. He probably didn't even realize that he has such a deep and heavy dependence on Jiang Ye.There is no need to pretend to be strong or happy in front of him.You can even get angry and be inexplicable, and act coquettishly without hesitation...

For lunch, Jiang Ye was afraid that Makino would be tired, so he boiled a pot of millet porridge. Some of the dumpling made last night was frozen in the well water. With the goal of becoming a chef as soon as possible, Jiang Ye made another table fried sausage , cold buckwheat noodles.After eating, I hugged Makino happily and went to take a nap.

Kiss the forehead, not satisfied, then kiss the nose, still not satisfied, just kiss the small mouth, finally satisfied a little, but what should I do if I want more?Jiang Ye was very helpless:

"Ono, shall we get married?"

"Okay, Brother Ye."

Someone was kissed in a daze, his head was hot, and his body was short of oxygen. He didn't even have time to think carefully before answering a sentence, completely unaware that he had already given himself away, and sold him without hesitation...
