Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 283 Saving money (three more)
Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes gracefully and said, "Actually! How much land is appropriate for the farmers, those from the gentry have already carefully calculated their sperm. It's not stupid to divide the land how you want."

"Then what should we do?" Chen Zhongyuan exclaimed, "Let you do the math, what's the point of living?"

"Central Plains!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with quiet eyes.

"Alive, alive! How can you give up your life lightly!" Chen Zhongyuan immediately changed his words, "This living person can still be suffocated to death by urine! Find a way to live." The crab-blue face collapsed again, " But I can't help it?"

"Why do you only think about saving money, how do you cut down on food and clothing, why don't you think about increasing income! Increase income!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with glazed eyes and said, "It's right to save money, don't waste food, but if you want to get rich It still has to be open source.”

"It's hard to make money." Chen Zhongyuan said in frustration, "If I had that ability, I wouldn't starve to death."

"Ms. Hong has a good idea, but you have to have time!" Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said gently.

"Why don't you have time? Dong Xian!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark and bright eyes and said.

"Dongxian is going to serve corvée." Jiang Shuisheng looked at her while stroking his forehead.

"Isn't it possible to earn money if you serve in corvée? It's good. You work for the court and you won't be in arrears."

As a result, everyone looked at her like a fool.

"Miss Hong, Mrs. Hong, you are in corvée and don't have money. You have to bring your own food when you go there. When you get there, the food isn't much better." Lin Nanzheng quickly reminded her not to make jokes.

"Uh..." Hong Lianshuo stared at them blankly, forgetting the time, "You can pay for work!"

Ye Yunyu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "It's like building a road, building a house, building a city wall..."

"That's right!" Hong Lianshuo nodded hurriedly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Nanzheng and Han Qinhu met each other's eyes, looked at each other, and understood a little bit, what does this work for relief mean?

"Then there must be enough food." Ye Yunyu's index finger lightly crossed the eyebrow peak.

"Is there really no food? If there is food, it is better to leave it moldy and rotten in the grain depot." Hong Lianshuo looked at them coldly and said.

"It's impossible to cultivate grain in all the fields allocated by the imperial court. You have to plant mulberry and hemp, and weave cloth in the defense line." Ye Yunyu looked at them quietly and said, "And these are women's work, and the imperial court doesn't want much. You have to weave day and night!"

"With military service, you have to prevent the enemy from invading, and this will take away the strong labor of the family." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "To be able to farm the land safely, spin yarn and weave cloth, there are people on the battlefield. Killing people every day before, to ensure the safety of the rear." His sympathetic eyes swept over them and said, "There is no such thing as a peaceful time, but someone is carrying it for us in front of the battle." He said with a gentle expression, "Of course there is no such thing as us. Working hard in the rear, what do the soldiers in the front eat and drink? These are complementary and indispensable, and no one can do without the other.”

"Of course, these are all required to be handed over in the name of the imperial court, and must be served as corvée." Ye Yunyu said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

"I remember the famous saying of Confucius, tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!" Jiang Shuisheng said, looking at them when he remembered.

"Yes! This is a heavy tax, so the farmers actually have to pay a lot more." Ye Yunyu looked at them with deep and bright eyes and said, "This official came down to understand the people's feelings, you don't have to spend money to treat them well. The court wants to resist foreign enemies. You don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy while hiding in the back, but you are not allowed to make bows and arrows, sharpen arrows. Or be a peasant, transporting grain and grass." He pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of miscellaneous taxes, and the court will never let the common people Those who are idle, there are many people who are idle, and this person is not in vain."

"It's really hard for the people to thrive, and it's hard for the people to die. Each has its own hardships!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes like thick ink that couldn't be opened under his dark eyebrows.

"This grain will be moldy, and the cloth will not be rotten. It's not easy to store, and it's not easy to transport. Why don't you charge money for this tax! Copper coins?" Jiang Shuisheng said in a whim, looking at them without blinking. said, "Can't you?"

"Can you buy food if you have money?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him funny and said, "Neither Jinshan nor Yinshan will do."

"We don't have a single copper plate now." Han Yanhu patted his belt and said, "If you want to change things, you have to exchange things for things. The most primitive method."

"There is no money to collect." Ye Yunyu said bluntly.

"The output of gold, silver and copper is very small, and now it mainly relies on copper coins. And copper mines are also rare." Ye Yunyu said with a chuckle, "Things are rare and valuable, and if there are too many things, they are not worth much. The sun shines directly like gold, why can't the sand be like gold! Because there is so much!"

"Haha..." Hong Lianshuo said with a chuckle, "There's another reason that people like to save money and keep it at home instead of spending it. If you save a little, I save a little, and there will be less and less copper coins on the market. This has created a shortage of money and copper."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her in astonishment and said, "Is this possible?"

"What about you? What do you have money for?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a funny look and asked.

"Of course, I saved it and hid it. I'm happy to take it out and take a look." Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking.

"Actually, there are very few places for farmers to use money. Small farmers are self-sufficient in their economy. They grow their own grain and vegetables. You can exchange oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for grain. You can grow some mulberry and linen for fabrics and make your own clothes. You need money. Where is the place?" Hong Lianshuo said item by item.

"When you get sick, you have to spend money. If you can't make your family collapsed, the better thing is that your family is still alive."

"Buying land, buying a house, and shops also need money." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with big eyes like a bell and said, hehe smiled and said, "It takes money to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Haha..." Hong Lianshuo shook his head and laughed, "Can this be done without saving money? Any major event in life requires money, or the big one."

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Hong is right. You have to plan your life carefully, and spend a lot of money waiting for something to happen, but you can't have empty pockets." Chen Zhongyuan echoed.

"So it's not the common people who save money, they really don't dare to spend money indiscriminately. It's a helpless move to cause a money shortage." Hong Lianshuo said extremely helplessly.
