My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 223 National Debt

Although it was for inspection, Jiang Tangtang still brought various snacks.

Sitting in the spacious carriage and looking at the picturesque scenery outside the window, she suddenly felt like she had returned to her previous life and was traveling in the countryside.

Thinking about his past life, Jiang Tangtang felt a trace of melancholy in his heart for no reason.

Time flies so fast. Before she knew it, she had traveled to this strange dynasty for more than two years.

The modern life surrounded by smartphones and various electronic products is getting further and further away from her.

Although there are smart products such as mobile phones and computers in the small villa, there is only electricity and no Internet. The happy life of surfing the Internet in the past can only become a memory.

Watching Jiang Tangtang look at the distant scenery, his whole person was surrounded by a feeling of nostalgia and lamentation.

Lu Shiyan felt flustered inexplicably.

Every time she does this, he feels powerless that he will never be able to enter her world.

He was afraid that one day she would be disappointed with him and the world and leave him quietly.

He held Jiang Tangtang's hand silently, "What are you thinking about?"

Meeting his gentle eyes, Jiang Tangtang's heartbeat skipped a few beats for no apparent reason, and he said casually: "It's nothing, I was just wondering if there is a gentleman in the capital who is good at agriculture."

She remembered that in places with warm weather, rice could be grown for several seasons.Unfortunately, she has no experience in this area at all.

Nowadays, the harvests in the fields of Lingnan people can increase. Firstly, the seeds distributed to the people come from space and are more resistant to diseases than ordinary seeds.

On the other hand, sweet potatoes and corn are inherently high-yielding.

If we can find a teacher who is good at agriculture and can grow rice for two or three seasons, then Lingnan will be able to harvest more food.

"Yes, yes, but he works in the household department of the imperial court." Lu Shiyan said: "I may try to persuade him this time to see if he is willing to move his family to Lingnan."

Jiang Tangtang just said casually, but he didn't expect that he was going to instigate another household official, "Isn't this too risky? What if he doesn't want to move to Lingnan and turns around and reports us?"

Lu Shiyan squeezed her palm and comforted her: "Don't worry, Da Sinong has some friendship with my father. Even if he doesn't want to move to Lingnan, he won't report us."

The dry and slightly rough hands made Jiang Tangtang feel as if he had been electrocuted. His brain was turned to mush, and he could no longer concentrate on thinking about government affairs.

The two people's eyes intertwined, and their lips and teeth seemed to have souls of their own... The air was full of ambiguity.

"Madam, we have arrived at Shangping Township." Yuan San's voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

Lu Shiyan let go of Jiang Tangtang, straightened his clothes, and got off the carriage first.Jiang Tangtang's face turned red and she calmed down in the car for a long time. She didn't get off the carriage until she couldn't see anything strange in the small mirror.

"Hurry, Madam is coming down!" I heard that Jiang Tangtang was visiting the countryside today, and all the nearby villagers who got the news rushed over.

The villagers took a lot of mountain products and wanted to give them to Jiang Tangtang.

"I have received my wishes, but I won't accept the things. You have just arrived in Lingnan to settle down, and there are still many places where you need money. You can take it to the market to exchange for money!" Jiang Tangtang refused to accept it, but the villagers did not comply and insisted on giving it away. : "Madam, if you hadn't considered our victims at every turn and made so many policies to benefit the people, how would we have been able to live like this? This is the heart of all of us. Madam, you must accept it."

The villagers all feel that today's life is much better than before.

In the past, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, taxes were heavy, and people had to work hard in the fields for a year with their backs turned to the sky and their faces to the loess. In the end, the family still didn't have enough to eat.

But in Lingnan, the government distributed seeds, iron plows, and leased cattle to them, and the tax revenue was still low.

They all feel that their days are particularly exciting.

The people in Lingnan all know that their ability to live such a good life depends entirely on the God of War's wife.

Jiang Tangtang did not collect the things, but took this opportunity to talk about the national debt, "Everyone, please take the things back. If you thank me, you will respond more to the government's call. Now the government has issued a national debt. If you have spare money, you can Buy some."

"What is the national debt?" The villagers are full of questions.

"In short, the government borrows money from everyone..." Jiang Tangtang gave everyone a rough explanation of what national debt is.

After hearing this, the people at the scene were shocked.The government actually borrowed money from them and paid them interest.And the interest is quite a lot.

This was something they had never seen before.It’s even more incomprehensible, aren’t all the government officials rich?Why do we still need to borrow money from everyone?
Listening to everyone's buzzing questions, Yuan San stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, think about it, do you have to spend money to make the iron plows you borrow from the government? Do you have to spend money to raise the cattle? And so on? of many seeds…

"Not to mention anything else, even building canals and repairing rivers requires a lot of money. Where does all this money come from?"

"This is all the government! But Madam can't bear to increase everyone's taxes. The government has no money, so Madam has to pay for it herself. When Madam's money is used up, can't I just borrow it from everyone?"

When Yuan San said this, the villagers all understood.

The government spent all the money on them, so now there is no money.But even if there is no money, the government is still thinking about repairing rivers and building canals.

These are all real things done for their people!

Usually in the Great Zhou Dynasty, tax revenue increased year by year, but the government rarely organized people to build rivers and canals. They had to rely on the weather for food.

But later, they had water canals and no longer had to worry about drought.After the river channel is reinforced, it can also resist certain floods.

Harvests in the coming decades will be guaranteed.

The common people are all people who know what is good and what is good, and they immediately said that they would sell the remaining grain to buy national debt.

Every time Jiang Tangtang visited a place for inspection, he would mention the national debt in passing. Just like in Shangping Township, he won unanimous support from the people.

Therefore, as soon as the new thing of national debt was released in Lingnan, it received support and recognition from the people, and many people pooled their money to buy national debt.

Even the really poor family joined together with several other families to buy a bet.
