Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 20

Zeng sighed, "It was ten years ago when you left, and it was increased to thirty in two years, and now it has reached fifty. Before, you only sent one hundred won to the family every month, and it was still Shuwen's whole day." Earn enough money by running around outside.”

Father Chu became more and more ashamed, but he was also a little confused. Is this the Daqin he worked for?What is the purpose of detaining the common people to support the barracks in Yizhou?
Speaking of which, Chu Chan has also read some historical records. In ancient times, some taxes were heavy and miscellaneous, but some were fairly fair. The taxes in this era are a bit too heavy.

The King of Qin treated the soldiers who went to join the army very well, but searched for the people's fat and people's cream, and these people's fat and people's cream were used to support the soldiers guarding Yizhou. Obviously, the King of Qin only paid attention to the strength of the army, just because he was afraid of the neighboring countries. In the final analysis, he still values ​​his throne and seeks pleasure. A country like this is probably...

Chu Chan didn't say much, but she was depressed for a few days. In this era, life is so hard, so what if she has a smart head?This era cannot be changed with only her clever head.All she can do now is to use what she knows to make her family's life better and earn more money.Although there are more than 20 pieces of gold leaves in the house, we can’t just sit and eat. Father Chu can hunt some prey every day, and occasionally leave some to improve his life.In the past half month, I have earned three or four hundred yuan.

In this era, commercial taxes are also extremely heavy. The only good thing is that merchants are not despised in this era. Except for the nobles, common people have the same status as merchants and workers.

In the next few days, besides learning how to read from her elder and second brothers, Chu Chan kept thinking about what to do to earn some money.

Chu Yu and Chu Hong left the private school that day, and they handed over what they had learned today to Chu Chan, and Chu Zhen also silently came over to learn.

Although Chu Zhen is not as smart as Chu Chan, she has worked hard with Chu Chan. Even if she doesn't learn it for a while, she will record it on the bamboo slips and continue studying at night. Jane is not very bright and can keep up with the progress of the two.

In the past two days, Chu Chan has almost thought about it. She will definitely not be able to make too much money. If she makes a lot of money, she can use the price difference between the two countries to make profits. For example, Qin is rich in jade, and Qin's jade is the most expensive. cheap.The neighboring state of Wu is rich in silk made from silk.She can transport jade to Wu to sell, and then buy silk in large quantities and return to Qin to sell.

It is not that there are no such caravans in this era. Naturally, they can earn a lot, and the risks they can bear are also great. Without certain financial resources and status, it is almost impossible to set up a caravan.

Chu Chan still knows some other knowledge, but these cannot be easily revealed. Her culinary skills can be said to be innate, so this knowledge can't be hidden from her family, even the closest relatives. He will only be very unfamiliar with her, and will think that she is a monster.

The only thing she can do is to use her own cooking skills, but she doesn't know much about food in this era, and she doesn't know the tastes and spending power of ordinary people, so she can only observe first.

Early the next morning, Chu Chan told Mrs. Sun that she wanted to go out for a walk. Mrs. Sun doted on her daughter and gave her twenty won coins for her to keep.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Chu Yun and Chu Shumei who came to look for her.
