After each family's wheat was sown, on January 20, the tribunal issued the tax law.
Before the promulgation of the tax law, the arbitral tribunal had held meetings with heads of households to discuss tax matters. It was finalized after discussions at five conferences.
Taxation is officially implemented. Agricultural taxes are collected once a year and begin in December. The levy is 3 cents per mu of land, which can be deducted with wheat and converted according to the market price of wheat.
Commercial tax is collected every month, and if it is collected at the beginning of the next month for the previous month, it will be collected according to the business quota. The starting point is 2 yuan.
As soon as the tax law came out, people who were originally jealous and envious of making more money by doing business suddenly felt very happy.
As for the agricultural tax, every household pays it. It is fair and no one thinks it is inappropriate.
On January 23, the military department began to lead people to repair the road leading to the mine.
Lin Yan, Mao Mu, Lin Yun, and Lan Yue all followed the road construction team. They need to observe road conditions in real time and make adjustments to their original plans.
There were more than 400 people in the road construction team, and it was a grand start. Countless people followed and watched to see the grand occasion of this moment.
When departing from Sun City, it is close to home and everyone can go home for meals.
When we got to the back, there were people specializing in cooking, steaming steamed buns, making pasta and meat dishes. The food was much better than before when we went out.
There is great strength in numbers, and hundreds of people pushing forward can build a road of five to eight miles in one day.
The width of the pavement should be three to four meters. The grass and trees should be removed, and the ground should be rolled with stone wheels to make it smooth and smooth enough for carriages to pass.
After leaving Sun City, Lin Yan almost cried with joy when he saw the contribution value in the science and technology museum had finally increased. The past two years have been really wasted and I haven’t lit up a single room.
She must work hard to accumulate contribution points and open more rooms. There was the basic knowledge she needed, the source of her ability to change her status quo.
Lan Yue's luck was as good as ever. With her around, new species could always be discovered, and Lin Yan took advantage of it.
The road construction team advanced in an orderly manner every day, and reached the shallow water beach in ten days.
A temporary stopping point was set up at the shallow water beach. People stayed here overnight unless they went home.
Lin Yan looked around in confusion. Perhaps it was because there were so many people, but ferocious beasts rarely approached them. Even if they were encountered, they would turn around and run away.
During dinner, Mao Mu gnawed on the soft and hot steamed buns and sighed: "I am so happy to be able to eat steamed buns. Lin Yan, I now understand deeply why you valued wheat so much in the first place. With flour , it is very convenient to make dry food when you go out on the road, and you can also eat full."
Lin Yan also held the steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile: "You are not the only one who feels this way, we all feel it deeply. Every household has planted a lot of wheat this year, and we will never have to worry about having nothing to eat in the future."
"This is exactly what I want to see. It's finally working." Lin Yan took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "You guys have been following me everywhere these days. Have you found any problems?"
Lin Yun thought for a while and said: "It's too slow. At this speed, it will take more than half a year to complete it."
"Oh, that's right." Lin Yan sighed, "I can't help it. Road construction is like this, especially this kind of rudimentary one. It requires cutting down trees, weeding, and rolling. Every step is indispensable. It's not like building a land edge. The road we are on is usually trodden by people.”
This is the first road to the outside world. It is a big project. If you want to build it, a lot of manpower and time will be invested. Lin Yan is ready.
Mao Mu said: "Although it is slow, it will be worth it once the road is repaired and the trucks of ore are brought back."
Lan Yue also nodded, "It's very worthwhile. We have a great demand for ore, and it is necessary to open the road to the mine."
A few people chatted while eating. After eating, they took out the route map they had drawn, and Lan Yue added today's new discoveries on it.
The bonfire was bright at night, and the night watchers walked around from time to time. Lin Yan lay on the straw mat and looked up at the dark night sky, his heart slowly calming down.
Listening to the gradually rising and rising snoring, Lin Yan's mouth curled up. Even the strongest person would be tired.
During the day, I ran around with the team, watching people cutting down trees and digging soil, and checking the road surface. I couldn't rest for a moment. She was also quite tired, but she didn't feel sleepy.
Lin Yan closed his eyes and concentrated. Under the shroud of mental power, everything around him was extremely clear.
There is a small purple flower in the field of vision, with clear lines, and it seems that you can feel its floral fragrance. Lin Yan couldn't help but test it out. It would be nice if he could pick it and smell it.
Thinking like this, she controlled her mental energy to focus on the little flower and stroked it gently.
Wait, touch, she really felt the reality of the little flower just now.
Suppressing his inner excitement, fearing that it was an illusion, Lin Yan carefully tested it again, and sure enough, he felt something. Has her mental power improved?
"Pang Bao, I can feel the real thing. My mental power is like my hand, which can transmit the touch to my brain."
Lin Yan was very excited. She continued to practice, but her mental power grew slowly and even stagnated for a time, which made people somewhat sad.
Sometimes she even doubted the possibility of using mental power to control objects as Fat Bao mentioned.
However, today, she finally felt it. Controlling objects with mental power is not a dream.
Fat Bao's cute little voice seemed to be smiling: "Congratulations."
"Pang Bao, you are right. As long as you persist, your mental power will definitely be sublimated. I just felt the little flower a few meters away, as real as if I had touched it with my hand."
Fat Bao: "You must keep up your efforts and reach S level as soon as possible."
Lin Yan: "...Pang Bao, you think too highly of me. This is just Z level, which is considered a beginner. It is far from the S level you mentioned."
She was wondering what gave Fat Bao the courage to say this. She didn't even dare to think so, and the further she went, the harder it became.
Fat Bao: "..." He just let it slip for a moment.
Lin Yan didn't care whether Fat Bao answered, "That's all in the future. It's too early to talk about it now. Fat Bao, find me a book on making weapons and let me read it."
Anyway, if you don’t feel sleepy, it’s better to read a book to enrich yourself.
After her mental power reaches Z level, the books she wants to read can be displayed on the black crystal ball screen as long as she tells Pang Bao, except those in room number 0101.
Wherever you see it, you need to highlight it. Just say something to Pangbao and he will mark it.
Pang Bao is like a conscientious record-keeper. He will carry out her words exactly as they say, and make various records for reference at any time.
Looking at the sword diagrams and forging techniques in the book, Lin Yan silently remembered them in his mind. The large knives used today may look sharp, but in fact there is still a lot of room for improvement.
As long as we can create better magic weapons and arm the military, we will be confident wherever we want to go.
She had secretly observed that Maomu had been working hard in this area and had achieved results in the past two years, but it was still far from the weapon she wanted.
Now that they have paper and pen, she will also copy more books for them. They are all useful materials, which will definitely benefit them a lot.
