The next day, early in the morning, the rooster crowed three times. September was an excellent month, known as the golden September and silver October. From September, the harvest season began. The grain at the foot of the mountain needed to be urgently harvested by the farmers, who then had to pay taxes. Luoyang Prefecture in Huishai was exempt from paying local government taxes, and the land of Luoyang Prefecture was all leased to local farmers for sowing. Hence, when this season arrived, the farmers began bringing the harvested grain to Luoyang Prefecture one after another.
Ye Chen woke up early and strolled outside, watching some farmers with beaming smiles bringing grain into the manor; he understood it was the harvest season. Only during the harvest would smiles appear on the farmers' faces.
