Ya Yi asked: "Does there be a juren at home?"

Yuqing shook her head.

Ya Yi asked again: "Then which juren is affiliated with in your family?"

Yuqing shook his head again.

Ya Yi sighed and said, "You have no juren in your family, and there is no juren to rely on. 60% of the production of your small farm will be paid taxes, and the rest will be paid to the tenant farmers and the farm will be managed, and there is not much left!"

Yuqing felt a little cold when she heard this.

She knew that the taxes in ancient times were very heavy, but she didn't expect that she would pay 60% of the harvest to the court.

No wonder there is a saying that harsh policies are more powerful than tigers.

"Then... how much can I have left?"

Ya Yi stretched out a finger: "10%."

"How much is 10%?"

Seeing that Yuqing didn't know anything, it was too difficult to talk to her. In addition, there was a business coming, so she didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. She threw a sentence: "You can do it yourself!" and left.

Yuqing complained in her heart that if she could calculate it herself, she wouldn't have to ask him.

She turned her head and asked Hanshan: "Do you know how much harvest is in our small farm?"

Hanshan Dao: "One acre of land produces about 300 kilograms of grain, 20% is 30 kilograms, and one hundred and eighty acres is about 50,000 or 6,000."

Yuqing was surprised. She didn't expect that the grain yield per mu in ancient times was so low.

The food that falls into your hands throughout the year is only five or six thousand!

Their family has five adults and two children, and they can earn one or two hundred kilograms of food in a month.

The cost of maintaining the size of the family is a bit short of money.

She originally planned to buy two servants to go back to serve He and others.

Although they were in a downturn, Yuqing didn't want He and his sisters to live too hard, but now this situation may not require servants.

Seeing Yuqing listless, Hanshan said, "Master, we can find a juren to join us, and we can pay half of the taxes every year, so that our family can live a very prosperous life."

Yuqing said dejectedly: "That's all."

I don’t know if it was the old house people who made the news and were not allowed to help Yuqing’s family.

When Yuqing asked to come to the door, the juren either rejected her or offered a sky-high price.

Five days have passed and no juren has been found to be affiliated with him, so Yuqing simply gave up.

Seeing her frown, He comforted her and said, "After all, we have a small farm, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing. This is already good.

As for servants, I don’t want it. We are already in a state of decline, how can we still be like before?"

Yu Chun also said: ""Silang is only thirteen years old and needs to support the door. It's really hard.

Although the three of us sisters couldn't help much, we could still do housework such as washing, cooking, etc.

So it doesn’t matter if your family doesn’t invite a servant. Siro should not be upset about this.”

Yu Rou and others also said that they were not afraid of hardships? And they were happy to help Yu Qing reduce the burden on her shoulders.

Yuchun shook Yuqing's hand? His eyes firmly said: "The whole family is united, and his ability to cut off gold? There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!"

Yuqing smiled bitterly: "That's the case? But my elder sister is already seventeen, so I have to say that she is getting married immediately? I have to prepare a decent dowry for my elder sister.

Without a good dowry, my elder sister can't marry into a good family.

And the second and third sisters are not young anymore? They will get married in two years? They have to prepare a generous dowry for them."

When Yuqing thought of the dowry of his three sisters, he felt under a lot of pressure.

She is not afraid of living a simple life, but she is afraid that a group of sisters will not marry well.

In ancient times, a woman's marriage was like a second reincarnation? I'm afraid that her life would be over if she hadn't married into a good family.

She cannot but provide solid material guarantees to her sisters.

Yuchun's face was so embarrassed that his face turned red? He bit his lip and said, "From tomorrow, my sister will do sewing and thread at home, earn money to buy dowry, second and third sisters? What do you think?"

Yuru and selves listen to her naturally.

Yuqing was moved, but how many cents could he earn by doing needlework? How much dowry can he buy?

I still have to find a way to earn dowry for a few sisters.

After thinking about it, she plans to raise a rabbit to make a fortune.

Because she raised rabbits in her previous life.

I thought I bought two pet rabbits, but after I bought them home, I kept them for a while, I found that the bad merchants sold her meat for free.

Meat rabbits have extremely strong reproductive ability? A few nests of rabbits a month can grow up quickly? It can be slaughtered in three months.

The key is to raise a rabbit only needs to feed it with food? The cost of raising it is low.

Have you made up your mind? The next day Yuqing and Hanshan built a thatched hut in the backyard to raise rabbits.

Hanshan spent several more days to catch two big gray rabbits.

However, Yuqing went into the computer of the space to check the characteristics of the male rabbit and the female rabbit, and found that the two big gray rabbits caught by Hanshan were all male.

But before the New Year, Hanshan had no time to go up the mountain to catch rabbits.

Because there is another day when the New Year is about to celebrate, we have to go out with He to buy New Year’s goods after the New Year.

We have to have the New Year’s Eve dinner on the day of the New Year.

Yuqing had nothing to do at home, so she accompanied He to the market to buy some meat and vegetables to make the New Year's dinner.

As the saying goes, don’t buy goods for the twelfth lunar month if you have money.

As the end of the year approaches, everything has increased, especially food.

Take mutton for example. In just a few days, a pound of tens of cents have increased.

He was walking around in front of several mutton stalls, but he couldn't make up his mind to buy it.

But is it considered a holiday if you don’t have mutton during the New Year?

When Yuqing saw that there were several meat stalls selling pork, she wanted to buy pork and go back to eat it.

Compared to mutton, she prefers to eat pork, after all, she comes from a modern society where pork is eaten.

Yuqing held the corner of He's clothes: "Mom, let's go buy pork."

"Ah! Is the pork delicious?" He asked suspiciously.

Although pork is the main meat on people's dining table in modern society, it was not in ancient times.

In ancient times, the status of pork was very awkward. The poor could not afford it, and the rich disdained it.

For this reason, Su Dongpo also wrote a poem:

Huangzhou is good at pork, and the price is as low as the soil.

The nobles refuse to eat, and the poor don’t understand how to cook.

Get up in the morning and make two bowls, so don’t care if you are full.

It means that the pork in Huangzhou is super cheap, and the poor and the rich don’t eat it. I’ll have two bowls in the morning and eat it full. Don’t mix it with it.

Yuqing nodded and said, "It's delicious. Pork ribs can be braised. The hind leg meat is chopped into filling and made into dumplings. It's even better than the mutton dumplings."

He said angrily: "It seems like you have eaten pork."

Yuqing smiled and said, "Although I haven't eaten it, I heard from others that, mom, let's buy some and try it."

At her instigation, He went to a pork stall and asked about the price. It was much cheaper than mutton. Then he was moved and bought a few kilograms of ribs and a few kilograms of hind legs and prepared to leave.

But Yuqing stared at the pile of pig pancreas on the pork stall without blinking.

He asked in confusion: "Why are you staring at that thing? It's time for us to leave."
