Chunxiao became interested when she heard this, "How do you calculate the number of people?" She had originally planned to hire someone to do the work, and now it was just the right time.
"For those with more than 30 people and 100 acres of land, the tax will be reduced by 50% every year." The chief clerk raised five fingers to her.
Chunxiao did the math and figured that based on the minimum wage of 500 wen per person per month, that would be 180 taels per year, which was quite feasible. She nodded and said, "Master Zhubu, may I take a look at the land?"
"It's winter break now, and we don't have winter taxes here. If you want to look around, I can always arrange for someone to take you there. I just don't know how big a place you want to rent, so I can pick one out for you in advance."
"Master Chief Clerk, I need to see the size of a place myself before I can know how big it is. Please let me see a few large places."
"When is it?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. We need to settle down in the county town today."
"Okay, then come to the county government tomorrow and I'll arrange for someone to take a look. Girl, you should take a closer look. We have good crops and cotton here, but it was unstable before. Now there's no such problem. You should seize the opportunity."
"Thank you, Master Zhubu, for your guidance today. I am grateful."
Chunxiao left the county government office and took Xiaohua, Chunjiu, and the others to find a nearby inn. It was really cold that day, and even walking outside made my skin feel cold. Wearing too much was useless, and I really didn't like winter.
The inn provides a stove, but you have to pay extra. There is also a charcoal stove that can burn all night, but you have to buy the charcoal yourself, and it is not cheap. Chunxiao asked for a charcoal stove and 3 pounds of charcoal for each room, and reminded them to remember to open the windows at night.
The waiter also came to give me some reminders before going to bed.
When I first arrived here, I didn't sleep very well. The quilt was thick, but not soft enough. I slept better in the county post station than in this inn. Although I didn't sleep well, Chunxiao stayed in bed early in the morning because he really didn't want to be exposed to the cold air outside. Xiaohua got up.
"Miss, aren't you supposed to go with the county magistrate to inspect the manor today? Why aren't you getting up?"
Chunxiao stretched her hand outside and then quickly retracted it into the quilt. "It's still warm inside the quilt. I'll lie down for another incense stick of time." Finally, she got up. She admitted that she was a money-grubber and surrendered to money. When she thought about making money, all obstacles were no longer obstacles.
