Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chief Lu had already registered this year’s harvest for each household. They had to pay taxes and those who lied about the harvest would be executed. No one dared to lie, so they had to report the truth.

When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arrived at the table, they calmly mentioned Xue Dafu’s name.

Xue Dafu was the head of the household. There was an officer who was holding the register that Chief Lu was in as well. When he heard the name, he opened the register to take a look even though he was surprised that Jiang Yue and Xue

Yan were there to pay taxes.

“Over here, Xue Dafu.” Chief Lu smiled and pointed at a spot in the book.

“They actually have fourteen acres of land?” The officer was surprised.

This officer was in charge of collecting tax on grain. Every time he came, he only had to collect taxes with Feng at the entrance of the village. This year, there was an additional farmer. He had thought that it would only be one or two acres, but he did not expect that it would be fourteen acres. He was naturally surprised.

“Xue Dafu’s family was in luck this year. He earned some extra money and bought all the land he rented. In the past, he only paid rent to Feng.” Chief Lu smiled.

The officer nodded in understanding and then asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “Is your family planning to hand over grain or money? If you’re going to hand over the grain, let the adults in your family pick it out. If you’re going to hand over the money, then hurry home to get it. ‘

Chief Lu smiled apologetically again. He was concerned that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan would be afraid of the officials in front of them, the two of them were kids after all. They had never seen anyone from the government. “They’re just kids. Their parents have already told them what to do. I’ve already told them how much they have to pay. They should have brought it.”

Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan had already taken out the money bag, then he put it on the table and slowly poured out the money inside.

It was just enough for the taxes.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had counted it at home.

However, the people from the government still counted the money just in case they were being scammed.

The officer who was in charge of collecting money counted and made sure that it was just enough, then he asked the person who registered next to him to register it in the booklet and gave Jiang Yue and Xue Yan a document of tax and grain payment as a receipt.

Seeing that Xue Yan had taken the receipt and put it away, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to see if Xue Darong needed help.

Xue Darong’s family also rented their fields and had to pay 70 percent to Feng. They were all lining up. Xue Darong’s family would also help Xue Dagui’s family pay 70 percent of the harvest to Feng because Xue Dagui was selling popsicles in town and was not at home.

However, although they said that they would pay 70 percent of Xue Dagui’s harvest to Feng, it was less than 10 percent of the harvest. Feng was so angry that he said that he would no longer rent Xue Dagui’s fields to farm.

Qian Caiyu bent over and glanced at Feng to prevent him from hearing her. She then whispered to them, “Our family won’t be renting next year.”

Wang Yao said.

“We worked so hard to only have 30 percent left. What can we do with it? We were too poor in the past. As long as we could make ends meet, it would be fine. Now that we have an oil mill, we were thinking about buying a few acres of good land next year.

“But my son wants to send Dabao and Xiao Bao to the town to study. If that’s the case, we can’t rush to buy land. We have to save it for them to study.

“We talked to Xue Da about it and he supports it. Xue Darong thought about it and also felt that it was more important to send them to study first.

“It should not be long before he would send Dabao and Xiaobao to study in town. I don’t want to think about Shengming Academy now, I want them to be like Gouzi first.

“They should go to a private school to read and write first. If they are good at studying, then I will think about letting them apply for Shengming Academy..”
