Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2157

The taxes that the herdsmen on the grassland have to pay are different from those of the people in the Central Plains.

The common people in the Central Plains only have the land rent of dividing the land by mouth, except for the Ding tax and tax service. Forty taxes are one, which is not very heavy.

Even in a place like Qili Village, where there are many mountains and little land, most of the land is divided into mountains that cannot be cultivated. However, under the condition of full amount of Yongye land, it is not so difficult to pay the 40 tax of land sharing.

Moreover, Luojiang county has always been very poor, and the three previous county magistrates are all good. They know that most of the mouth and field are mountains and do not generate income. Therefore, the foundation is not high. There is basically not much tax at 40, and the tax at d is higher.

This is not the case on the grassland. Except for the Ding tax, they have no labor service, but directly have to perform military service. When Da Jin fought, they would directly recruit soldiers from here.

There was no donation or tax, but there was a grazing tax. Bai Shan quietly calculated and found that it was much higher than the people in the Central Plains.

However, ordinary herdsmen are not very worried about this, because in the Khanate before the Da Jin Dynasty, they didn't even own people, let alone their own cattle and horses.

At the command of Khan, these small tribes have to confess. If they don't listen, they are likely to be thrown to the front line to block stones.

So they didn't feel unfair at the moment. They just felt very unhappy about being conscripted to perform military service from time to time. "Three years ago, Khan wanted to fight Gaochang, so we were recruited to guard Liangzhou. Finally, we fought with the Tubo people who came, and eight people died in our tribe."

"How many people did you go?"

"Twelve. Now there are two in the army. They are not lame and can't come back." Speaking of this, the herdsman was very proud to put his injured leg forward and let Bai Shan see it. He showed off: "when charging, the horse was shot by a flowing arrow. I was very clever. I rolled down with my head in my arms. When I rolled to the roadside, only this foot was stepped on by a horse from behind, and then I burned before I died."

Bai Shan: "... Why did the other come back?"

"Oh, he had better luck than me. When he fought against others, he was cut off an arm. He cut off each other's head. Finally, when he came back, he took the money to settle down. He used the money to buy 50 lambs. With the original cattle and sheep in his family, he was the eighth richest man in the family."

Bai Shan was filled with complex words: "... I'm very lucky."

The herdsman said happily, "but I'm not very bad. I bought ten lambs with the money I got back."

Bai Shan was so complicated that he couldn't speak for a long time. "Do you think it's better now or 15 years ago?"

Fifteen years ago, Xiangli Khan was still there.

The herdsman thought for a moment and said, "it's not much different, but there aren't as many people in the war now. There aren't so many dead people in our family. And there are businessmen. It's easier for us to buy corn, tea and salt than before. I Aya only supported me, but three of my five children lived. "

Bai Shan, who has no children, can't understand this pride, but he also knows that in the Central Plains, the survival rate of children is not high, let alone the grassland.

He didn't speak again.

Yan or, who had been sitting quietly, didn't speak. He pulled down the grass beside him and made it up casually. He didn't know what it was made up. He looked at it and wanted to throw it away.

Bai Shan looked at it and said, "this is safflower, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

As soon as the herdsman heard this, he immediately looked at the grass in Yan or's hand and asked brightly, "young master Bai, is this medicine?"

Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "yes."

"Can we sell it to the dealer after we pick it?"

"Of course."

The herdsman was worried, "will they take it?"

Bai Shan said with a smile, "of course, and didn't you sell all your herbs to brother Thursday in the past two years? He'll take it. "

The herdsman smiled embarrassed and said, "that's not necessarily. Fourth master Zhou can be strict. He checks the herbs very carefully. It's not allowed to mix some grass in them."

Bai Shan's smile stiffened. He said, "herbs are no better than others. They should be sold to patients. If they are mixed with other things, they may be poisoned, so they should be careful."

The herdsman smiled awkwardly and nodded. They didn't know before. They thought it was all grass. Anyway, they ate it. How much difference can it make?

Now, seeing that Zhou man uses those herbs to treat children and people in the family, they don't dare to underestimate these herbs any more.

At this time, man Bao also squatted in the Tutu department to pick up the herbs they picked, picked up one, first asked Aina about their name and usage, and then she told them what she knew.

She said: "many medicinal materials can be obtained anywhere, but some are not available here. You must buy them. You can't remember what I said, so I just tell you the herbs for smallpox that you can find here."

But after turning around and teaching the four of them, she opened a small stove for Aina alone, "you don't have all the herbs for smallpox, but you have the herbs for the basic diseases of wind and cold."

Aina's eyes brightened in an instant.

Man Bao said, "you don't have to follow all the prescriptions. It suddenly occurred to me just now that you can consider one or two prescriptions according to the herbs you can find here. Do you know what herbs are here?"

Aina's name is different from what man Bao knows, but she describes man Bao and knows what herbs she is talking about. She takes notes, then looks at the three agugu people who are still trying to recite the prescription, and gets up and says, "recite the prescription first. When I come back, I will continue to teach you to touch the pulse. I will simulate the pulse of smallpox patients for you."

Man Bao turns and goes to the carriage to find the herbs he has dug during this time.

There are plants collected after Keke's guidance, but more are herbs she saw when she ran around on the grassland.

As long as it was a herb she knew, she couldn't help digging when she saw it. She thought it was brought by Koko.

So she knew that there were no fewer kinds of herbs on the grassland than Aina.

She took out the herbs that had been dried or were being dried. She took several samples of each, and then took them to Zhou Liru. "Write out the name and efficacy of the medicine and stick it to Aina."

Zhou Liru took a handful of herbs, divided them first, put the ones that still need to be dried on the wood outside the tent to continue drying, and take the others that have been dried into the tent.

Man Bao then touched a bag of needle bags and went back to find Dai Yi's four people. She sat in her position and waved her hand, "go and call in the men, women and children who touch your pulse."

Now, the Tutu Department has a special person responsible for staying in the tribe to touch their pulse. They work in the camp when they don't need it. When they need it, they will roll up their sleeves to let them touch their pulse and act as a model for learning.

However, the pulse feeling this time is different from the previous times, because man Bao will prick a needle before touching the pulse this time.

The herdsmen who saw acupuncture for the first time were stunned, especially how long the first needle man Bao pulled out was

They trembled and looked at man Bao in horror.
