Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 81 Wisdom

“Shitang’s family, where do you grow sweet potatoes?”

Su Mulan listened to the sound and stopped what he was doing. He looked up and saw Bai Kangyuan standing on the edge of the field. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid there won't be enough food in the field, so I'll open a piece of wasteland and plant some sweet potatoes, just in case."

“Uncle Lizheng, are you here to wander around in the fields?”

Bai Kangyuan's family has no shortage of money and a lot of land, but almost all of it has been rented out, leaving only two acres of land for tending.

 “While it’s cool, go and gather some grass in the stick field.”

Bai Kangyuan looked at Su Mulan, his eyes flashing slightly, "Shitang family, have you not gone to the Yamen to pay taxes?"

"this…"

Su Mulan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Logically speaking, for this reclaimed wasteland, one should go to the Yamen and pay three cents of silver per acre. Only when the land is deeded can it truly become one's own land. If no money is paid and there is no land deed, theoretically speaking, This land cannot be planted. Even if it is planted, when it is harvested later, this thing can be regarded as ownerless and others can harvest it.

However, this land can only be regarded as fully cultivated land, and it is uncertain whether there will be a harvest. In addition, the money in hand is really not much, so Su Mulan wants to wait for a while before paying the land fee. Son.

Many people in the village are like this. They clear land and plant it. They wait until they have enough money or have no other choice before going to the yamen to pay the land fee. Moreover, everyone is very secretive about this matter. No one deliberately pursues this matter, nor will they. Some people risk having their spines broken to harvest crops that someone else has worked hard to grow all season just because they don't have a title deed to the land.

It was also for these reasons that Sumulan was so confident and bold enough to plant sweet potatoes first.

At this moment, seeing Bai Kangyuan questioning like this, Su Mulan was not sure of his purpose for a moment, so she could only answer truthfully, "Well, Uncle Li Zheng, that's what I thought..."

"It belongs to the Shitang family." Bai Kangyuan looked around and deliberately lowered his voice, "Your land is not really a good land. If you are willing to plant it, just plant it first. Don't be too impatient about paying. If others ask When I got up, I said that I had almost saved enough money, and I would hand it over when I had saved enough. I guess no one in this village would pursue this matter. "

"How can I talk about this kind of thing? As long as the yamen doesn't send people to investigate and no one in the village complains, it's nothing important. Even if someone from the yamen asks, as long as it's not your land that really delayed the court. It’s all over, no one really cares about it if you say a few nice words, our county magistrate here is quite reasonable.”

“Anyway, just plant this land first and don’t make any noise. If someone asks, just tell me what to do.”

This is obviously to remind her, so that she can feel measured and know how to deal with trouble.

I have to say that Bai Kangyuan is a good person. He is fair in dealing with things on weekdays, but when encountering practical problems, he is also willing to take care of his shortcomings and take care of the interests of the villagers in the village.

Su Mulan understood and grinned, "Yes, Uncle Li Zheng, when I save enough money in the past few days, I will quickly go to the Yamen to pay the money."

The volume of her speech was deliberately raised a bit, causing the people working next to her to stretch their heads and take a look at her.

 Smart!

Seeing Su Mulan like this, Bai Kangyuan nodded approvingly, and said loudly and cooperatively, "Sure, since you know that I won't say much. If you save enough money, go early so as not to pay for it later." Looking for trouble yourself.”
