"Spring tax?"
The Great Xia Dynasty had an astonishing amount of various taxes. The capita tax and the land tax were just the most basic ones.
In addition, there are hunting taxes, firewood taxes, salt taxes, well taxes, and mineral taxes.
Last year, autumn taxes and winter taxes emerged.
Now that the New Year has not even passed, there is a spring tax.
But...
Now the family can't even afford a meal, so there is no extra money to pay taxes.
"Lu Erlang, I'm talking to you, why are you pretending to be stupid here!"
Seeing that Lu Lin didn't speak for a long time, Sun Youcheng suddenly lost his temper.
Lu Lin raised his eyes and looked at the other party expressionlessly.
"No money."
"No money? Haha, it's okay if you don't have money. Then go north and build the Great Wall. If you build it for three years, your family will be tax-free for three years."
Sun Youcheng smiled unscrupulously.
The two followers beside him also joined in the fun at this time.
"Brother Sun, Lu Erlang's family has no money, but they still have land."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember that Lu Dahu was very eager for justice and righteousness. Tsk, tsk, he saved many families during the disaster years."
This is indeed the case.
When Lu Dahu was alive, his hunting skills were second to none.
Naturally, there is a lot of money in hand.
In times of famine and disaster, he was willing to lend money to people in the village.
Some people use their land as a mortgage even if they don't pay the money.
Lu Dahu will not let others suffer, and will often make up some extra money.
Over time, Lu Dahu's family accumulated nearly 30 acres of land.
In this Nanshan Village, he can also be regarded as the top three small landowners.
"Earth?"
Sun Youcheng sneered, "Just the few acres of the Lu family's land, I don't like it."
"Lu Erlang, hand over the money within three days, otherwise I won't be talking to you, and the town's government officials will personally come to your house to collect taxes."
Sun Youcheng flicked his sleeves and left with his two followers.
Royal power does not go to the countryside.
All economic and government affairs in the village are handed over to Muramasa.
It can not only ensure efficiency, but also provide an extra layer of buffering.
This has been the case since the founding of Daxia.
But this also created the village's absolute authority within the village.
For example, the Sun family in front of us.
Behind him, footsteps sounded.
"Uncle, what should I do? Or let your eldest brother come back. He is in town..."
"No need."
Before Liang Xinlan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Lin.
"Sister-in-law, I will find a solution for this matter, you don't have to worry."
Liang Xinlan didn't listen.
Lu Lin patted Liang Xinlan on the shoulder, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely get the money within three days."
With a slight exertion on his hands, Lu Lin gave Liang Xinlan a firm look, picked up his bow and arrow, and turned around to leave.
"Sister-in-law, close the door."
Lu Lin walked away.
