Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life Chapter 78

  Chapter 78 Seeing words is like seeing people

  In the Ming Dynasty, the land rights had to be confirmed. Whoever owned the land had to pay how much tax. It was convenient for the court to check, so as to save others from tax evasion. Other dynasties were similar to other dynasties.

  Officials can have land under their name, but they are not allowed to do business. From childhood, every time they go up, they can have a certain amount of tax exemption.

   It doesn't mean that if you become a high-ranking official, you can enjoy unlimited tax exemptions, so how will the court support the army.

Qiao Mai has inquired that a child can be exempted from five mu of tax, a scholar can be exempted from twenty mu of tax, a scholar can be exempted from fifty mu of tax, a Jinshi can be exempted from one hundred mu of tax, a bachelor can be exempted from five hundred mu of tax, and a university student can exempt from tax on five hundred mu. Taxes for 1,000 mu of land can be exempted.

  The status of Jinshi and below, after the tax exemption, the imperial court will no longer distribute salaries. Those who have no land in their families will be given five taels of silver a month, scholars will be given one hundred catties of flour, and children will be given ten catties.

  It seems that the laws of the Ming Dynasty are relatively sound, and the distribution is relatively reasonable, especially in terms of taxation, which makes Qiao Mai, a modern person, feel so fair.

  Of course, only a little bit, after all, this is a feudal society, and fairness does not exist.

  All systems are for the ruler to better rule the country.

   After signing the paperwork, Qiao Mai paid a deposit of five hundred taels of silver, and then took Linger home.

  As soon as she got home, Miss Wang's carriage stopped at her door.

   "Grandfather, this is sister Joe's home."

   "This house is not big."

   "She said that after the New Year, she will buy a new house."

   "Hmph, you are quite protective of her."

   "Of course, she is the only woman my granddaughter recognizes. Otherwise, who would let this girl call her sister?"

   "Hmph, you can pull it off, I don't understand your narrow-mindedness, you and your brother have already taken a fancy to her family's food."

   "Hey, hey, doesn't grandpa like those foods?"

"snort!"

  Wang Zihan also followed. He stepped forward and slammed on the door, and the Yuan family got up and opened it.

  Seeing so many people, he only recognized Miss Wang, and hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands.

   "Miss Wang is here, please come in."

   "Well, I brought my husband to the house to have a look."

   "Hi sir!"

  She brought her grandfather and younger brother into the room, and in the living room, Feng'er, Yun'er, and Chuan'er were reading and writing. Seeing a guest, she quickly put down the book in her hand, got up and saluted.

   "Hello aunt, hello grandpa, hello little uncle."

   "Hey, I'm getting more and more sensible and polite. It's pleasing to watch."

   "Please sit down, let's make tea."

  Qiao Mai heard movement in the bedroom, carried Linger to the living room, and knew what was going on when he saw this scene.

   She looked at the faces of the three of them, and immediately knew who the old gentleman was.

   "Qiao Mai sees Mr.."

   "Well, you are Mrs. Qiao?"

"Yes."

  The old man sized her up. She was just an ordinary person, but her spirit and demeanor were not something that people in small towns could raise.

  Miss Wang stepped forward and took her hand, "Sister Qiao, the family was busy during the Chinese New Year, so I didn't come here. Don't be angry with me."

   "This is what I said, if it weren't for the long distance and difficult travel, I should have brought my family there to pay New Year's greetings."

"Hee hee, now that you've figured out who Mr. is, I won't hide it from you. This is my grandfather. He's always talking about being idle at home, so I'm thinking of finding something for him to do. It doesn't matter, just let him eat and drink well, he is just as delicious as me and my brother."

   After speaking, he winked at Qiao Mai, who smiled, "No problem."

   "My grandfather was a Jinshi, a hundred times better than Juren."

Feng'er and the others have already brought the tea here. Mr. Wang looked at the three children of this family, all of them were exquisite, and he didn't need to teach them, just by looking at the agility in their eyes, he knew that these three children were lovely. taught.

  Wang Zihan saw the two shelves in the corner, pointed with his hand, "eat"

  Brother Fengyun and Chuan'er looked at Qiao Mai, she nodded, and the three little men went to the kitchen to get plates, and they also filled a plate full and brought it to the table.

   Now that there is something to eat, Wang Zihan stopped making noise, and obediently sat at the table to eat.

  Chuan'er stepped forward and took Mr. Wang's hand, "Grandpa, come and eat. This is made by my mother. It's clean and delicious. Would you like to try it?"

  Mr. Wang was offended by Chuaner's actions, sat at the table and drank tea, and started to ask questions, Yuan Jiaqi accompanied him.

  The child he asked first, and him the last.

   "I heard you copied books at home?"

"Yes,"

   "Bring me a look?"

  Yuan Jiaqi went back to the house and took the half-copied book to Mr. Wang.

  He nodded after seeing Yuan Jiaqi's handwriting, "Your handwriting is good, but it's too regular. You have to have your own style. Seeing words is like meeting people."

   "Sir said so."

   "I heard you never went to school?"

   "The family is poor, and I listened to it in school when I was young."

   "Have you ever read any books?"

  Yuan Jiaqi smiled wryly, "I don't have money to buy books. In order to read the books, I worked hard to practice handwriting, so I was able to see many books by copying books."

"After the school examination, none of you have any foundation. You must know that the foundation is the most important. Just like a child born with a poor foundation, he will be in poor health and always be sick. But if you only want to be literate, these are already It's totally enough."

   "Please, sir, teach us a few more. There is no end to reading, and students want to learn more knowledge."

  Mr. Wang glanced at him, then at the three children, but did not answer. Chuan'er picked a chestnut and stuffed it into Mr. Wang's mouth.

   "Grandpa, my father is very smart, he has great ambitions."

   "Oh? Tell me about your ambition?"

   "Travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, apply what you have learned, and be a useful person for the court and the people."

  Mr. Wang's eyes flashed, "Yes, to be a useful person is useful for the family, the people, and the country. In fact, people are alive, no matter how big or small they are. They are useful not only when they study and become officials."

   "Students understand that the big is of great use, and the small is of little use."'

  "Wrong, dripping water wears away rocks, the army is strong, but it is composed of every soldier, what you learn, without them, you are just talking on paper."

   "Also ask the teacher to teach the students."

  Yuan Jiaqi realized that the old man was a truly learned man at this time.

   "Well, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

  Miss Wang next to her laughed and tugged on Qiao Mai's clothes.

   "Cook, my grandfather is hungry!"

  Qiao Mai was not polite, and gave Linger to Miss Wang.

   "Look at the children for me, please have a good meal at noon."

   "Hey, get something fresh?"

   "Does your grandfather like to eat fish and shrimp?"

   "I like it, I love it very much."

   "Then there is no easy way."

  Qiao Mai rolled up her sleeves, came to the kitchen, and took out the finished dishes she bought in Hyundai from the freezer in the space.

Sauerkraut fish, braised prawns, three delicacies with **** blood, minced garlic, fried squid rolls, steamed crabs, vermicelli scallops, steamed sea bass, stir-fried sea cucumbers, stir-fried sixties, cheese shrimp balls, and finally an Australian salt and pepper lobster .

  All are ready, and there are still a lot of seafood products that have not been brought up.

  She intends to warm up these things, to whet the appetite of the old man, and make one or two from time to time when she has nothing to do, otherwise, if she eats enough at once, what else can she use to attract him.

   Fortunately, the space has a copy function, otherwise, she would really be reluctant to take these things out.

   These are her favorites. After the food was delivered home, she didn't even have time to enjoy it, so she came here. If it weren't for the bad old man who loves this bite, she wanted to use this to keep him, how could she take it out.

  Some of these dishes were heated in a large pot, some were baked in the oven in her space, and some were microwaved.

  Anyway, the kitchen door was stuck, and she fiddled with it for a long time, and the dishes were finally ready.

  Mr. Wang looked at a table of fish, shrimp and seafood dishes, his eyes were straightened, and he pointed excitedly.
