Shen Fei didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Village Chief Wang, where is my field? I want to go and have a look. When the autumn tax is paid, I will pay the silver."
Village Chief Wang felt relieved after receiving Shen Fei's assurance.
If the autumn tax revenue is not paid in full, then he, the village chief, will also suffer.
"Okay, I'll take you over to take a look."
Shen Fei was overjoyed, "Village Chief Wang, where is my homestead?"
At that time, Master Wang also felt pity for Shen Fei's orphan and widowed mother, so he directly gave Shen Fei two acres of homestead.
Village Chief Wang already knew about this, so he replied: "All the good places in the middle of the village have been selected. We can only look outside the village. Let's leave now. You can choose as you watch."
Shen Fei nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, thank you Village Chief Wang."
So Shen Fei and Er Ni followed Village Chief Wang towards the end of the village.
Soon, everyone arrived at the end of the village. Village Chief Wang pointed to an open space and said, "Miss Shen, this is your land."
Shen Fei had never farmed before, so she saw such a large area of land covered with weeds.
The location of this place is not too far away. It only takes about ten minutes to walk. Logically speaking, it should not be left behind.
"Village Chief Wang, is this large area covered?"
Village Chief Wang nodded awkwardly. Seeing Shen Fei's happy look, he knew that this girl didn't understand the soil of the land, and the land here was very barren. "Well, that's all. This is your Koufentian. Yongyata is further away."
"Oh, this land is not as bad as what the royal secretary said. Look at this land, how flat it is."
Shen Fei was still very happy.
Erni's family had farmed, and before she was sold, she also helped her family with farm work. She squatted down and dug in the ground, and found that after digging a layer of black soil, the soil below was He said, "Miss, this land is not fertile."
Village Chief Wang: "..."
Speaking of which, this land is not good, otherwise such a good location would have been taken away by others.
Shen Fei said nonchalantly: "Er Ni, this is already very good."
Then he turned to look at Village Chief Wang, "Mr. Wang, where is the remaining land?"
They walked for another quarter of an hour before arriving, "This land is your Yongye Field."
When Shen Fei saw that there was a small hill inside, she was surprised and asked: "Village Chief Wang, is this small hill also included?"
Village Chief Wang coughed lightly, "Yongye fields are usually planted with mulberry trees, jujube trees, etc., so most of them contain short hills. From this side to that area, it is your Yongye field."
Shen Fei actually didn't understand the meaning of Koufentian and Yongyetian, so she asked, "Village Chief Wang, what is the difference between Koufentian and Yongyetian?"
Village Chief Wang saw that Shen Fei was also a little girl, about the same age as his granddaughter, so he explained: "Koufentian is a field for growing grains. It must be taken back when someone dies or moves to another village. Koufentian cannot be bought or sold. . Yongye fields are used to grow mulberry, elm, and jujube trees. If there is surplus in Yongye fields, you can sell it, and if you don’t have enough, you can buy it."
Shen Fei nodded and understood. In a word, Yongye Tian belongs to him, and Koufen Tian belongs to the country.
When Shen Fei saw the deserted Yongye Field, she suddenly felt more cordial.
"I understand, thank you Village Chief Wang. I don't know where my homestead is? Does the homestead belong to me, or is it owned by the village like Koufentian?"
"The homestead belongs to the village. After the houses are built, they can only be bought and sold to the villagers." Village Chief Wang explained
Shen Fei nodded, that means it's not her own place, so she doesn't need to spend money to build it properly.
I originally thought about spending some money to build it properly, but now I don’t need it.
Shen Fei and the others walked back and stopped again when they reached her Koufentian, "Village Chief Wang, can my homestead be painted here?"
Village Chief Wang saw that there was indeed a distance between here and the village. He frowned and said, "Girl, this is too far from the village. It is too unsafe to build a house here alone. I suggest you choose a place at the end of the village. "
Shen Fei seemed to be the same, "Okay, let's choose the one at the end of the village."
Village Chief Wang nodded, and his movements were very fast.
Soon he found his son and began to measure the area.
Shen Fei didn't understand either, but Erni had better physical strength, so she followed Village Chief Wang and others to see the border.
Village Chief Wang was a neat man and directly marked the measured area with wooden stakes.
Shen Fei sat on the edge of the carriage and sighed: "There is so much land here!"
Xie Yu heard Shen Fei's sigh, "The Yu Dynasty stipulated that this land cannot be wasted. If you don't cultivate it, you will not only have to pay taxes, but also be fined."
Shen Fei couldn't sit still after hearing this, "Xiaoyu, is what you said true?"
Xie Yu nodded and said softly "Yeah".
Shen Fei was a little annoyed, "But I don't know how to farm, and I don't want to suffer."
Xie Yu had already noticed that this master was afraid of pain and hardship, but he also liked eating and playing, and was a bit heartless.
Shen Fei jumped off the edge of the car and started thinking of a way.
If she doesn't want to do it herself, it seems she can buy someone else.
Or rent out the land, "Xiaoyu, what do you think about me renting out the land and collecting the rent?"
Xie Yu replied calmly: "Your land is all wasteland, no one will rent it. And you have to pay taxes, which is not cost-effective."
Shen Fei looked at the boy in front of her. She seemed to have heard that people with high-ranking officials in their families could get tax exemptions if they passed the imperial examination.
Shen Fei glanced at Xie Yu and then at Zaizai in his arms. Zaizai is ten years younger than him.
She can't wait!
Little Fubao didn't want to stay in the carriage, so when Xie Yu came out, he was the one holding little Fubao.
Xie Yu was dumbfounded by Shen Fei and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Fei said faintly: "Xiaoyu, I think you are quite smart. How about you take the imperial examination?"
Xie Yu's heart tightened. Did this woman see something?
Even Aunt Li in the carriage was shocked.
She ignored the injury on her face and said, "Miss, Xiaoyu is a servant, how can he take part in the imperial examination."
Shen Fei waved her hand carelessly, "What's the matter? I'll return your deed of betrayal to you, so that you can become good citizens."
Xie Yu clenched his hands tightly and pursed his mouth tightly.
Shen Fei also said to herself: "However, I want to have a scholar or a scholar in my family who can give my family land tax exemption. In that case, Xiaoyu will have the same surname as me. Shen, um, let's call her Shen Yu. Jade I think jade sounds better than Yu."
"Shen Yu, you have a good name. As my younger brother, how about taking part in the imperial examination?"
Just as Aunt Li was about to retort, she was stopped by Xie Yu, "Okay, I promise you, I will be your brother Shen Yu."
