The narrow road that can accommodate a large car to enter and exit, the shrubs and trees on both sides have withered, the fallen leaves are paved on both sides of the road, and many rotten leaves are trapped in the muddy road by the wheels.

There are very few big landlords in the Great Wei, and most of the rich people invest in industrial and commercial trade, making money with money, and getting money the fastest, and everyone in the world has such a consensus, so industrial and commercial trade is the most developed.

This has also caused a very peculiar phenomenon, most of the money of the rich is invested in trading houses and factories, rather than buying land.

In this way, the price of land has not been expensive, as long as the people are willing, they will have land to cultivate, the more they do not prohibit the merger of acres of land, under the system of buying and selling at will, but there are no big landlords with more than 10,000 acres of land.

And the current manor, six villages and a few hidden households composed of Zhuangzi, like an open plum blossom, petals connected, the land is given to Xu Zixian by the imperial court of the official village, of course, there is no change in business, the better is the smarter official households, do some small business and gradually start a house, in the village can build a tile house and brick house, most of them are this kind of people.

In Xu Zixian's eyes, this place is too poor after all.

I still remember the copy of the imperial court official newspaper I read a few days ago, there is a royal history of Jinghu South Road, the army has been prosperous for many years, the taxes are heavy, the people of Jinghu South Road have been displaced, and many people have abandoned their land, no longer farming, and are willing to be helpless and helpless.

Large tracts of land have been abandoned, and hundreds of people have been displaced because the people cannot afford the various taxes that are being levied.

Of course, this is also because of the special place of Jinghu, the original development was late, the land relied on is fertile, the production is not bad, and it is located inland, so it does not have to be taken care of by Yunnan, Guizhou and Qinfeng, Fujian and other roads, especially in Yunnan and Guizhou.

In a place like Fujian, where industry and commerce are developed, the people still live like this, Jinghu South Road and North Road, what kind of life the people in these places live, you can imagine.

Xu Zixian didn't feel sorry for Da Wei, he was the soul of later generations, and he had always regarded himself as a poor college student, and only now did he know that the poverty he thought was just a joke, and these people in front of him were living a torment, and they had a very painful life from birth to death.

"The son of the world doesn't have to worry too much." Li Yi heard Xu Zixian's emotion and said: "It's almost the same everywhere, and there is still a bowl of full rice to eat." My hometown is Hebei East Road, where it has been harassed by military disasters many times for 20 consecutive years, and the people have lost their houses and fields, become homeless, and have been separated from their wives I don't know how many. Here in Fujian, if there are no bandits to trouble, I am afraid it will be much better. ”

Xu Zixian said from the bottom of his heart: "After I am an official, I must do a good job in military affairs and exterminate the bandits." ”

Li Yi, Fu Qian and the others all hugged their fists and said: "We will definitely help the prince." ”

Xu Zi nodded first, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at Jiazizhuang, and everyone dismounted one after another.

Zhuangtou He Fu had already received the report, and took a few people to greet him at the entrance of the village, and when he saw Xu Zi getting off the horse first, he hurriedly went up and hugged his fists to say hello.

"Don't bother." Xu Zixian said: "Unrelated people can go back and do their own things, He Guanzhuang took me to the house with a spinning wheel to take a turn." ”

"Yes, Shizi." He Fu is quite respectful, since Li Cheng fell, all the measures of the Hou Mansion have been satisfactory, and now the prestige of the prince is extremely high.

At the moment, pointing to a few families at the entrance of the village, He Fu said: "These families have square cars, and the prince can go to see them." ”

Xu Zixian nodded and went to a family at the entrance of the village.

There are three rammed earth thatched houses in the main hall, two partial houses, and thatched houses behind the houses, which are typical peasant houses.

There were a few chickens strolling on the ground in front of the door, and when they saw a large crowd coming, they hurriedly flew away.

There were two little dirty children playing in the yard, but they were not afraid of people, and the four pairs of eyes stared at Xu Zixian, who came over first.

It may be that the person in front of him is different from ordinary people, and there is a little trepidation in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Zixian was wearing a white military uniform, a folded scarf, a plain gold belt around his waist, and a barrier knife hanging.

After more than half a year of hard training, especially recently, he has gradually peeked into the hall, his appearance, spirit, and spirit are far better than ordinary people, especially his upright demeanor, and the calm smile on his face adds a bit of style.

"Give them candy."

This has been prepared for a long time, Chen Zuocai walked over with a smile, took out a handful of candy from the blanket and handed it to the two little dirty children.

"Mother, a guest is here."

"Distinguished guest, distinguished guest."

The two children screamed, but instead of going home, they took the jelly beans they had just gotten and ran to the neighbors to show off and share with their companions.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zixian smiled, everything in front of him, except that the house was too simple, was not much different from his childhood.

There was no one in the hall to answer, maybe he didn't believe the child's words, Xu Zixian didn't care, the side room was the kitchen, glanced at it, and saw that there were bags of polished rice and brown rice in the cabinet of the grain, all of which were bulging with half of the grain, and a few strings of fish hung under the eaves, which were already quite rich in the homes of the people in Fujian.

When I walked to the door of the hall, the man who didn't seem to be in charge was at home, so he stopped in front of the door and looked inside.

But I saw a woman, in her thirties, looking fine, sitting calmly in front of the treadmill car, with both hands non-stop, and her right foot constantly stepping on the cart, spinning the cotton into a cotton yarn and hanging it out.

Xu Zi looked at it for a while, and saw that the woman's workshop was extremely fast, and the square car was full of good cotton yarn.

There are also a lot of piles in the corners of the house, and the whole house is already full.

Xu Zi didn't say anything first, turned his head and walked back, and said to Fu Qian: "The square car has been used like this, how long will it take to repair it?" ”

Fu Qian said: "Small problems may occur every day, but these women can just fiddle with them themselves." Big problem, half a month to once a month, I sent a few carpenters here, and if there is a breakdown, it will be repaired directly. ”

"How long do I have to scrap one?"

"It always lasts for about a year."

"Fangche will return to its capital in two months, and the remaining ten months will be considered earned, which is not bad."

"What the prince said is that this is exactly the truth."

When Xu Zixian and Fu Qian answered, Chen Zuocai walked into the house, and there was a voice from outside, Xu Zixian smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to disturb this woman to make money, but Chen Zuocai didn't think so, since he came, of course there were some things to ask clearly.

Li Yi has always followed her to her left, she doesn't enter, and she doesn't enter this Fengchang either, she is only cautious, and her character can be seen from the subtleties.

After a while, Chen Zuo walked back and said, "Asked that woman to roll her eyes for a long time, thinking that I was delaying her to make money." ”

Everyone laughed, and Xu Zixian smiled and said, "It's light to roll your eyes, it's good that I didn't hit you with a spindle." ”

Fu Qian smiled: "I'm afraid you can turn against her, your big eyes are two against her." ”

"Get down to business." Xu Zixian didn't want He Fu to hear some not very solemn words, so he stopped talking and said, "What did you ask and come back to tell me?" ”

"One hundred and fifty pounds a month." Chen Zuocai put up two fingers and said, "This is still a base number, sometimes it can be as much as two hundred catties." ”

Xu Zixian was surprised: "That's really an all-nighter?" ”

"Not really!" Chen Zuocai said: "I asked, her mother-in-law fell asleep in the east room, slept until the afternoon and got up to eat, the mother-in-law went to the workshop, the woman took the children, washed and cooked, went to bed early, got up in the middle of the night to pick up her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law went to sleep again, so it was in turn." ”

"It's also too tiring."

"If you have money to make, are you still afraid of being tired?" Chen Zuocai seemed to have a smile in his eyes, it should be the noble tone of Xiao Shizi, and at the same time, he was also a little moved in his eyes, no matter what, with such a benevolent lord, the feeling in his heart was still quite good.

Fu Qian smiled: "The prince doesn't know the miners over there? Before going down the well, I told what I wanted to say, and it would collapse once in a few months, and I would die if I was buried, who could know if I could come up this time? So every time I go down the mine, my family has to be the last face, that's it, there are still miners, go down once, let alone earn 200 yuan, where to find such a job with more wages? ”

Li Yi moved to talk, and also said: "My hometown is not far from the Zunhua Iron Yard, those men who pull iron ore, which one of the men who pull iron ore is not scarred on their shoulders, the old injuries have not healed, and new injuries have been added, these are all scars pulled out by the iron stone, and they are stained with blood, and they are used to it." ”

"The slender man too, his shoulders are stretched and deformed."

"The people's livelihood is difficult."

"It's to blame the Donghu people."

"Not really. The invasion of the Donghu people was the last year of Wuzong, and the Chengzong period began to knock frequently, and the three times that really came in were all in the Chongde period, but the taxes of the dynasty were heavy, and the financial income did not increase but decreased, but it began after Wenzong. ”

"Calculate carefully, Taizu created, Taizong Shoucheng, Renzong, Xuanzong Guangda, and later Shizong, Zhezong, Shenzong, Guangzong, Xiaozong, Wenzong, Yizong, Dezong, Wuzong, Chengzong, passed to the present day, there is indeed a state of first looking up and then rising, and then suppressing, from an annual income of 60 million, to 100 million, to 160 million, and then to today's 100 million, more and more taxes, more and more developed, but the people are becoming more and more difficult, isn't it strange?"

The last words are not answered, it involves the overall situation of the government and politics, and there are smart people in front of them, but these things must be at the height of the temple, understand the situation of more than 20 roads in the whole territory, comprehensively consider, weigh the ancient and modern, and finally come up with correct opinions and answers.

Since I can't tell it all, of course, these people in front of me don't want to say any more.
