Chapter 351: Various Situations After the Harvest

Silver Wing City.

Yangjiao Village.

Yangjiao Village is a large agricultural village with about 3,000 adults and more than 2,900 people engaged in agricultural production.

For a long time, the ancestors of Yangjiao Village have followed the ancient tradition of reclaiming fields, planting crops, weeding, and harvesting in autumn.

But this year is different. According to the promotion of the city hall, they learned to use Bass cattle to plow the fields and use manure to fertilize the fields.

Of course, there were doubts before the work started, but the doubts were suppressed under the resounding name of Luther and Pompeii.

Many, many people trust this name.

Luther, Pompeii.

And today, Yangjiao Village ushered in the joy of a good harvest. All the elderly and children in every household, except those who can't walk, went to the fields to cut wheat.

The golden wheat and heavy ears of wheat filled the farmers with joy.

"Asia, I have been farming for 30 years, and I have never seen such heavy ears of wheat." Ani, a 36-year-old farmer, started working in the fields at the age of 6, but he has never seen such full ears of wheat.

Ani picked a grain of wheat and chewed it in his mouth, grinning and said to his wife.

Ani's wife Asia has never seen such full ears of wheat. Her freckled face is also filled with the joy of a good harvest.

Ani and Garcia's children are already teenagers. They also know what this year's harvest means, and they are also smiling happily.

Ani looked at his eldest son, Oxford, 18 years old. This is a great guy, as strong as a calf. He is a good farmer.

But what made Ani dissatisfied was that Oxford gave up the farmland at home and concentrated on going to the primary school run by the governor.

Oxford believed that farming had no future.

"Because of the Bass cattle, we can open up some abandoned fields. Farming is the most promising. I want to convince Oxford that going to school has no future."

Ani said to Garcia.

"Yes, our ancestors were all farmers. Going to school has no future." Asia also nodded heavily.

Farmers are always short-sighted than city people because of their knowledge and vision. So far, many children have benefited from the free school run by Luther, but some children have not been able to go to school because of their parents.

And this couple, looking at such a big harvest, intends to cut off their son's learning path.

But Luther will not let them do as they wish.

"Oh, oh, oh, we don't have to starve this year." At this time, the heartbreaking roar of the Abida brothers rang out in the neighbor's farmland.

Ani and Asia looked up and smiled knowingly. This pair of brothers are also pitiful people. Their family has very little farmland, but a large population.

The two brothers, their wives, and the four or five children they each had, had a total population of more than a dozen.

The brothers had not had much farmland, so they had never had enough to eat. But now it was different.

According to the announcement of the city hall, the grain production of farmland fertilized with manure this year was 30% more than in previous years.

"Don't forget that the tax rate announced by the city hall this year was 20 to 1, 20 to 1. This is a very low tax rate. You should know that the tax rate in Silver Wing Territory in previous years was 10 to 1, and the brutal Marquis Parker collected a heavy tax of 10 to 2. This is a whirlwind from Pompeii. Long live Pompeii. Long live Governor White Eagle."

A fat farmer drove by and saw the joyful Asia, Ani's family, and the Abida brothers, and laughed out loud.

"Yes, the tax rate announced by the city hall this year is 10 to 1."

The two families of Asia woke up and laughed happily.

The White Eagle Territory was previously composed of six territories, but now it is divided into seven cities. Previously, the nobles and knight lords each had the right to set taxes.

This led to a very complicated tax situation in the entire region. The kind lords took good care of the people, while the cruel lords tried every means to reduce the food rations of the farmers.

Now the city hall collects taxes uniformly, 20 to 1, which is a very low tax.

Long live Pompeii!!!

The villagers of Yangjiao Village are cheering, but the knowledgeable people in the village are a little worried.

The village chief of Yangjiao Village, at Heishan's home.

The lowest administrative unit in the White Eagle Territory is the village. The village chief is mainly elected by the villagers, and generally the respected elderly are given priority.

And this type of village will be equipped with more than two village officials according to the size of the village to help the village chief deal with the situation, disputes and other issues in the village.

The current village chief of Yangjiao Village is Heishan.

One is an old man who is over 50 years old, has read books, and has worked outside in his early years and seen the world.

The village chief of Heishan called five village officials to his home today to discuss things.

In the simple meeting room, the face of the village chief of Heishan was very solemn, and the village officials also realized the problem and were very serious.

"When the city hall officials came to promote the use of manure to fertilize the fields, I was still skeptical. But now I am convinced that this year's grain will be 30% more than last year. Last year was also a bumper harvest. We haven't eaten all the grain in our family, and the grain merchants haven't sold all the grain. This year's harvest is 30% more than last year. Of course, the poor villagers can have enough food, but the price of grain is bound to fall. The money we earn may be reduced."

Heishan Village Chief said solemnly.

"It will definitely be reduced. Many villages in our White Eagle Territory are close to the endless forest. These villages have cut down forests and reclaimed fields on their own, using the power of Bass cattle to greatly increase the area of ​​farmland. I think this year's grain production in White Eagle Territory may be 40% more than last year."

A village official said with a grim look.

"Hey, what's going on? Eight years ago, there was a drought, and the food in the village was halved. Everyone could only eat half full every day, and some people didn't even have half full. At that time, we looked forward to a bumper harvest next year. We felt that nothing could compare to a bumper harvest, but now it's good. The Pompeii family is kind and announced and promoted their agricultural technology. The harvest is a big harvest, but we have to worry about the price of food."

The head of the Black Mountain Village sighed, feeling a little complicated.

A big harvest means everyone has enough food. But there is nothing else to eat.

It's true that people are greedy.

After eating, people will ask for more.

"Forget it, we can't discuss anything here. I hope the price of food won't fall too much." The head of the Black Mountain Village sighed, and this village meeting ended.

The village officials left with worries.
