Jiang slightly keenly recognized the hatred in her words.

Under normal circumstances, if others are willing to lend you money, you should be grateful. How can you hate it? Unless

"They borrowed Lizi money?"

A Tao nodded and said yes. She then told her own experience.

"My family is poor. One year, the harvest was not very good and I failed to pay taxes. The county officials forced us to take out the food quickly. If we couldn't afford it, they would tie all the people in my family away. The Cao family just appeared at that time, saying that they could lend money to our family and pay interest. In the first year, the interest is five cents. If the arrears are not paid off in the first year, the interest will double in the second year, which is very interest. If the arrears are not paid off in the third year, they will have to double again, and so on, until we all pay off the arrears. "

Jiang Wei listened and smacked his tongue secretly. Such a high interest rate is simply robbing money!

She asked, "did your family finally borrow money?"

A Tao sighed, "it's no good not to borrow it. The county officials are pressing hard, and the shackles are taken out. We don't want to be caught, so we can only borrow money from the Cao family. Fortunately, the next year's harvest was good. My father worked outside and made some money. Our family borrowed some money from relatives and returned the money from patchwork. But just because of this, the last part of our family was hollowed out. Even my brother's marriage money could not be taken out. My parents decided to sell me. Fortunately, sister Wei saved me, otherwise I would... "

At this point, her voice choked.

Xiuer hugged her shoulder and whispered to comfort her.

In fact, the situation of a Tao's family is lucky. After borrowing Lizi money, many people worked hard to make money and failed to pay off their debts. As a result, the interest is rolling like a snowball. Finally, they are forced to have no way to go. Either they can only sell their fields and land and become field slaves of the landlord's family, or they can only sell their children and daughter-in-law, and their family is broken.

Jiang Wei looked at the direction of the donkey cart and thought that he didn't know how many people would be forced to borrow money this year.

……

The village of Yangtse River suddenly finds Shangjiang Pico in the bumper year.

"Micro girl, I want to discuss something with you. Are you free now?"

Jiang Wei immediately put down his work and stood up: "there are many people here. It's not a place to talk. Let's talk inside."

She led Jiang Fengnian to the atrium. They sat down on the beauty under the eaves.

"What can I do for you, uncle?"

"I don't dare to take orders," said Jiang Fengnian, with a polite attitude. He didn't rely on his old age because he was an elder. "I came to you this time to discuss the land with you."

Jiang slightly puzzled: "what happened to the field?"

"Your husband... That is, Gu Ju Ren. He is the only Ju Ren in our village. According to the law, he has the right to reduce taxes and corvee. Many people in our village want to hang their fields under Gu Ju Ren's name and reduce some taxes through his identity. Of course, we will not borrow Gu Ju's identity for nothing. We will give Gu Ju ten Dou of rice per mu of land every year, which can be regarded as a reward for Gu Ju. "

Jiang Weiwei immediately understood what he meant.

The villagers want to use Gu Fei's identity to avoid taxes. This method is very common in southern Chu. Let's take Zhu Lian in the town as an example.

Zhu Lian has at least more than 1000 mu of land under his name, but those fields are not owned by him, but others hang under his name. He wants to use his identity to avoid tax, and he can also get some profits from it. It is a win-win situation.

In fact, this practice has the element of drilling loopholes in the law. Although it is not against the law, it is not good to spread it.

But the village head personally begged to come to the door. In his face, Jiang Weiwei agreed to the request.

She asked how many people wanted to hang the field under Gu Fei's name?

Jiang Fengnian said, "at present, there are 20 families, including my family."

Jiang Wei nodded slightly and knew it.

Putting the land under the name of Ju Ren can avoid tax, but there will also be some risks, because if you want to avoid tax, you must first transfer the land to Gu Fei's name, and once the land is transferred, it will become someone else's thing. Legally, it has nothing to do with the original owner. If Gu Fei is a dangerous and greedy villain who directly sells all his land, no one can do anything about him. At that time, the real owner of the land will have nowhere to cry.

In other words, those who are willing to put their land under Gu Fei's name have 100% trust in Gu Fei, otherwise they wouldn't dare to take the risk at all.

Jiang Weiwei said, "ah Fei has been away from home recently. We have to wait for the transfer. You can make a list of the family to be transferred first, and I'll show it to him when he comes back."

Jiang Fengnian hurriedly said yes.

If we can really put the land property under Gu Fei's name, his family can save at least two-thirds of the land tax every year, which is definitely a big number for farmers!

He was filled with joy and then said another thing.

"Recently, many people have come to ask whether the valley fan is sold or not? Carpenter Chen's side listens to you. Do you think you can sell it now? "

Jiang Wei said, "don't sell it until the will of the imperial court comes down."

Jiang Fengnian said yes.

After seeing off the village head, Jiang Weiwei continued to devote himself to his busy work, but before long, Xiaofeng ran in.

He trotted all the way to Jiang Weiwei and said solemnly, "doctor Jiang, I found Jiang boning out."

Jiang Wei immediately suspended his work and asked, "where has he gone?"

"I followed him quietly and saw him and his daughter-in-law go to the entrance of the village and get on uncle Liu's ox cart. It seems that they should go to town."

Jiang Wei asked again, "did Jiang boning go with his daughter-in-law“

"Yes."

"Don't they have children?"

"No."

Jiang Wei thought that Jiang boning only took his daughter-in-law and no children, which means that they just go out to do something temporarily and will come back after doing it. What can they do together?

She knew that both Mr. and Mrs. Jiang boning were people who couldn't get up early without profit. They had to be more careful. They would rather waste their efforts than give them an opportunity.

Jiang Weiwei attracts song Hao.

"Jiang boning and his wife went by ox cart. They shouldn't have gone far. You ride big black and follow them. See what their husband and wife do in town. Remember, don't let them find you."

Song Hao promised.

He immediately pulled Da Hei out of the backyard and turned over to ride up.

He just needed a greeting, and Dahei immediately ran up, no slower than the horse.

Song Hao rode on the donkey's back and thought that the donkey was really strong to ride!
