The rest of the “natives of Wang family”, began to respond to the young man, affirming that what he said was all true. On average, every household has seen a reduction in yield by about 50%.
An Insect Master? Only a 50% reduction in yield? It merely affected them lightly.
The tenant farmers outside Wang’s jurisdiction were silent, weren’t the tenant farmers within Wang’s jurisdiction receiving an extra 20% harvest this season compared to them?
If they could have an extra 20% yield, they would have a considerable surplus after paying their grain taxes, and they wouldn’t have to desperately borrow grain everywhere to survive the disaster, nor bear the bullying of the prominent families.
For a moment, the “tenant farmers of other families” all cast envious glances at those locals.
“Not only that, when our Wang family collects taxes on behalf of the Government Office, the part that is owed by the prominent families can be directly offset at par by money. We had an easy time overcoming the famine this year.”, the young man said with pride, “Just quoting our family as an example, we have over twenty Dan’s of surplus grain.”
In a bountiful harvest year, having twenty Dan’s of extra grain isn’t considered particularly wealthy.
