Xiao Changyi said: "Well, it should be soon."

Generally, the government collects tax and grain within two months after harvesting the rice. It has been more than a month now, and it is almost two months.

Grain tax is levied on an acre basis. Generally, farmers pay grain, but they can also pay in silver instead of grain.

But paying money is more expensive than paying food.

The grain here refers to rice, not milled rice that has been pounded. Taxes are paid in money. Although it is more expensive than grain, it is much cheaper than buying milled rice.

The tax levied on one mu of land is half a load of grain. No matter what your harvest is, you pay half a load of grain, which is 50 catties of rice. The market price of rice is eight cents a pound, and fifty catties of rice is four hundred cents.

If you pay the money, it is five hundred cents per acre of tax.

The price of milled rice is 20 cents per kilogram. Generally, 100 kilograms of rice can be pounded into 60 to 70 kilograms of milled rice, and 50 kilograms of rice can be pounded into more than 30 kilograms of milled rice. More than 30 catties of polished rice is worth more than 600 pennies.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi still have some money on hand, and now there are grain hulls, and the rice is pounded a lot faster, so it is impossible for An Jing and Xiao Changyi to pay the rice, but choose to pay the money.

As for the rice at home, An Jing and Xiao Changyi have long thought about it, and they will stay at home and pound the rice by themselves.

An Jing even planned to buy some rice from someone, and then pound it into rice by himself, which is much more cost-effective than buying polished rice directly.

Thinking like this, An Jing said to Xiao Changyi: "Master, let's take a look at the Lan family and see if their rice is sold. If they do, we'll buy them all."

Because pounding rice in a stone mortar is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, only a little polished rice can be pounded in a day. In addition, there are other farm work to do every day, and it is impossible to stay at home to pound rice every day. Therefore, generally few farmers can pound all the rice at home into rice. of.

Farmers generally divide their rice into three parts, one part pays the tax, the other part is pounded into milled rice with a stone mortar and sold for money, and the other part is sold directly to the rice shop at the market price of eight cents per pound.

The rice shop employs people who specialize in pounding rice, and they do it every day.

"Yeah." Xiao Changyi had no problem with buying rice.

If they don't buy rice and come back to pound it themselves, they will also have to buy milled rice, because there is not much rice at home, so they can't eat for a long time.

Then, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to Anjia Village to find Shi Xiaolan. Shi Xiaolan said that he originally planned to sell 100 catties to the rice shop, but now it is just right to sell it to them.

Then, An Jing and Xiao Changyi bought 100 catties of rice with Shi Xiaolan.

An Jing originally wanted to tell Shi Xiaolan that if she was pounding rice, she could come to her house to pound the rice husks and tread hulls, which would be faster, but then she thought about it and felt that this was not good. Her house was not a rice mill, and there was always someone at her Even if she wasn't bothered about pounding rice in the yard, she was still afraid that her husband would be bothered.

Her husband is very cold and doesn't like dealing with people at all.

And she also prefers the two worlds with her husband, and doesn't really like that someone is always messing around in her and her husband's yard.

Therefore, An Jing didn't tell Shi Xiaolan about Gulong and Taui.

However, Jing Jing made a plan in her heart. When she has time, she will draw Gulong's picture more carefully, and let Shi Xiaolan take the picture and find someone to do it. Even if Shi Xiaolan's family can't make this Gulong, she will settle down. It is faster than using a stone mortar to pound rice when the villagers work together to make one.
