Chapter 1503 Inflation
It has only been five days since the price increase policy was introduced, and the people began to spontaneously parade in the streets to protest.

The most direct impact is that the entire market is completely chaotic, and traders take the opportunity to raise prices privately. From the beginning of the price increase of oil, salt and rice cloth introduced by the imperial court, to the private purchase of wood, ironware, seeds, vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat, etc. Classes, etc. have all increased in price.

Although Tang Nineteen was at home, he didn't listen to anything outside.

Aunt Lin complained to her every day that everything was too expensive to afford.

Steward Liu also came to ask for instructions to see if he could raise everyone's wages. Otherwise, with a wage of two taels of silver per month, there used to be a surplus of eating and drinking for a month, but now there is a problem with eating and drinking.

This really twisted a big piece of Tang Nineteen's flesh.

You must know that there are hundreds of slaves in the Prince Qin's Mansion, big and small. With today's messy prices, to be a kind master, why do you have to add a tael of silver to everyone every month.

These more than 100 people are more than 100 taels of silver. At this time last year, this money could buy a second-hand house with a yard in the city.

Now, I heard that housing prices have risen even more outrageously, and they are about to skyrocket.

This all happened in less than ten days.

Bitao's pastry shop has recently closed. It's not that the business is bad. On the contrary, it's that the business is very good. But after the flour, sugar, etc. that were hoarded before are finished, there is no new ones at all, and there is nowhere to buy them if they have money. So it can only be temporarily closed.

Bitao has been staying with Tang Nineteen for the past few days, and the most talked about every day is naturally about this comprehensive price increase.

In the morning of this day, after Lu Bai sent her over as usual, he went outside the palace gate to wait for Qu Tiange to come down.

The master and the servant were eating tea, and Bi Tao suddenly covered her stomach and yelled, "Aiyo, aiyo, aiyo."

This really made Tang Nineteen nervous: "What's wrong, my stomach hurts?"

Bi Tao took a deep breath and shook her head: "Kick me, brat, kick me so hard, it hurts me to death."

Tang Nineteen heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't scare me, you are not yet full-term, if the baby comes out, there is no incubator to hide."

"Miss, what is an incubator?"

Well, this question is a bit esoteric.

Tang Nineteen could only answer her like this: "That's right, the baby should stay in your womb until it's full term, it will be healthier. Are you sure you're all right now?"

"It's okay, maybe it's because of the trouble recently, the baby moves more."

Tang Nineteen felt the same about this point, and she was also troubled recently: "No, you called me miss, and I lost 100 taels of silver in a few days. If this world continues like this, sooner or later something will happen."

Bi Tao agrees: "I heard from Aunt Lin that you have raised everyone's wages. Miss, you are a good person. You didn't resign after the wages were raised. You don't know. I heard from Lu Bai that the wages of many grown-up families have been raised. , but a lot of people have been dismissed. Those who are left will inevitably have to do more work. After all, they still use the same money to enjoy the original life. Pity those who stay, and even more pity those who were fired. "

This Tang Nineteen had also heard about it.

"Heh, in just a few days, such a vicious inflation has formed. The court probably never thought that things would develop to such a point. Now it is not easy to end it."

 Today only 2000 changes, roll over to ask for a monthly pass.
