After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 708 Can I go?

Xiao Zisen and Mo Zi looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.

The taxes on merchants in Daxia are not high, and the taxes on grown grains are also not high. Only 30 kilograms of tax is collected per mu of grain. If it is a rented fertile land, the tax will be 30 kilograms more.

If calculated based on the previous highest yield of 200 catties per mu, this would already be a very high tax. However, the current yield per mu is not 200 to 300 catties, but 600 to 700 catties.

In this way, the taxes will be less, which is friendly to the people.

Xiao Zisen and his people have all worked in the fields, so they don't think the taxes on the people are high, because even with the current output, they don't earn much after working hard for a year.

I just wanted to ensure that they could have enough to eat all year round and no longer have to eat whole grain noodles.

So the taxes her mother was talking about would only be business taxes.

Xiao Zisen: "If there is a tax reform, Uncle Qiu will have to pay a lot of money."

Wu Xiao looked at Xiao Zisen and fell silent again.

Xia Wanniang looked at Wu Xiao and said, "The agricultural tax can remain unchanged, but the commercial tax should indeed be changed."

After she finished speaking, she took the two children away and let Wu Xiao think about it slowly.

Xiao Zisen walked beside her: "Mom, if the trade route is opened, can I go?"

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "I wouldn't stop you when you were sixteen, but not now."

Xiao Zisen sighed: "Brother was able to join the military camp at the age of ten, why do we have to be sixteen here?"

Mo Zi smiled and said, "I am two years older than Master Zisen, so I left home two years earlier than you."

Xiao Zisen turned around and glared at him: "You have to wait for me, just try to run first if you dare." As he said that, he waved his little fist at him.

Mo Zi: "I said I would go out first to get information for Master Zisen. Since you don't want me to go out, there's nothing I can do."

Xia Wanniang: "Although your eldest brother entered the military camp at the age of ten, your father is still watching him in the camp. If you go to the trade route, I won't be able to watch you."

Xiao Zisen could only shrug helplessly: "Sixteen is sixteen, it's only a few years, it will pass in the blink of an eye."

Xia Wanniang: "The Northwest Army will have a competition in a couple of days, do you want to go and watch it?"

"Is brother attending?" Xiao Zisen looked at him expectantly.

"Yes, I wrote a letter to Zilin. He happens to be nearby and will come over." Xia Wanniang prepared to take a few children to see it.

As for the two girls, Xibao and Xile, it is better to let them learn to read well.

On the day when the Northwest Army was confronting each other, Wu Xiao also went to join in the fun and wanted to see what kind of competition it was.

He knew that there were training sessions every day in the military camp, but this was the first time he saw a competition like this.

He walked beside Xia Wanniang and asked, "What's the point of this competition?"

Xia Wanniang: "This is actually a method of training soldiers. When there is no war, although there is training, there is still a lack of ability to fight the enemy. If they suddenly go to the battlefield, it is inevitable that their mentality will be affected."

Wu Xiao now finds that the longer he follows Xiao Chiye and Xia Wanniang, the more he can discover Da Xia's shortcomings.

After hearing her explanation, he also realized the seriousness of the problem. Training is training, but the ability to respond on the spot is definitely not there.

They found the tallest trees and sat down under them.

This battle is in a field mode, with each side sending out 50,000 men. Victory is achieved by killing the enemy general or all 50,000 men.

Wu Xiao looked at the children sitting nearby and said, "Killing local generals is relatively easy."

Xiao Zilin: "Although it is easy, it is not easy to kill the enemy general among 50,000 people."

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "We can just watch. The generals of both sides have their own deployments, and it's a jungle battle in the wild. I believe it will be more interesting."

Everyone stopped talking and watched the battle below attentively.

The two sides are the attacker and the defender. The blue side has blue strips on its arms, and the red side has red strips on its arms.

Xiao Zisen saw Xiao Zimu in the red camp: "Mom, it's my eldest brother."

"Hey! Brother Xuanqing is on the blue side. This is interesting." Xiao Zilin smiled and looked at the blue side in the distance.

Xia Wanniang asked them to be quiet and just watch the confrontation between the two sides.

What they finally compared was the number of casualties. Even if the generals on both sides were killed, the number of casualties became the key to victory or defeat.
