Chương 42: Tax

Li Yu came out of Li Mei's house and returned home. Madam Qian looked at Li Yu and frowned. "Xiaoyu, the village chief came just now. The village chief said that we will need to pay the farm tax and head tax tomorrow."

Li Yu looked at Madam Qian. "Auntie Qian, do you still have to pay taxes if you don't have fields?"

"Why not! It's fine now. There's only the head tax and the farm tax. From what the old people said, there were all kinds of taxes in the previous dynasty. You'll even have to pay taxes for drinking water!" Madam Qian smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, I earned my salary from you. Otherwise, my family wouldn't even have the money to pay the head tax of 200 copper coins per person."
