章 213: Paying Taxes in Grains

Mu Yangling supported her chin and sat in line on the paddock, waiting to pay taxes in grains. There were soldiers guarding the paddock, and there were also soldiers helping to carry the grains.

Even though they were paying taxes, everyone's faces were filled with smiles because after paying taxes, the remaining grains would be theirs.

The people in front had already said that the Little General's people strictly collected grain according to the Imperial Court's rules and did not collect excess from them. Since they were not taxed in excess and did not have to pay a porter or other miscellaneous taxes, everyone was naturally happy.

When it was the Mu family's turn, Mu Yangling held Mu Bowen's hand and went forward. TMu Yangling was actually the Mu family's family head in practice, but according to the law, it was supposed to be Mu Shi. If Mu Shi wasn't around, Mu Bowen would replace him. Hence, Mu Bowen needed to sign the document for such an important matter.
