I'm the Farmgirl You Can't Mess With

Chapter 988 - 988 Idea

?Chapter 988: Idea Chapter 988: Idea Editor: Atlas Studios “Seeing as we’ve had fine weather these couple of days, you should dry the corn as soon as possible.

From this year onwards, the Ministry of Revenue will allow us to pay some of the taxes with corn.

If we don’t dry it well, I’m afraid the government office will lower the value of corn next year.” Ever since corn was promoted, more areas had been planting corn.

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Revenue had issued a new regulation.

From now on, the tax could be paid with corn, but two catties of corn was considered equivalent to one catty of rice or wheat.

Also, it could be used to offset at most 30% of the tax.

In other words, when everyone paid taxes in the future, they could use corn to pay 30% of the taxes.

It was not that high-yielding crops had never appeared in the past, but none of them could compare to rice and wheat.

Other than the problem of preservation, there was also the problem of paying taxes.

When it came to deciding what to plant, a major consideration of the farmers was taxes.

As the Imperial Court only collected rice and wheat previously, they had to plant these two things.

However, these two types of crops had a limited yield.

Since rice and wheat were picky about land conditions, the farmers could not increase the production.

After paying taxes, everyone could only subsist on porridge and wild vegetables, and continue farming on an empty stomach.

If they encountered natural disasters that year, their survival would be completely up to fate.

Now that the Imperial Court had agreed to let them use corn to pay taxes, it changed the situation.
