Chapter 248: The People Are Suffering

Since last year, the project of Jinjia Zhuangzi has not stopped, and it looks quite like the momentum of "learning from agriculture". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhuangzi basically can move all the people come out, the old people and children can't do heavy work, it's still okay to pull weeds and clear out the ground, not to mention male and female labor, work with dead force. Now the farmers still live in the lord's house, but the lord's mother is kind and allows her to sell the house to them, provided that she has money in her own hands, right? The whole labor force is three cents per person per day, the elderly and children are one penny, and they can manage two full meals, and the big bone broth is enough, where can I find such a good opportunity? If it weren't for the tight deadline of the young master of the ruined family, how could such a good job be touched by the people of the outer village? I remember that last year, they were still standing aside and watching their Zhuangzi's jokes, and now they are also begging the family to send their children to school? If you want to say that the baby is really angry for herself, now not only will she write her name, but the accounts are also clear, and her ancestors have been digging loess and eating rice for generations, how could you ever think that your children can read and write? Didn't I just think about the key point before, save some family funds to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby? Now the son has a head!

The laborers are in full swing plowing the ground, and the cooks put more salt in the soup pot according to the instructions of the head of the house. There were old people and children there, so Jin Yu ordered to change the green salt. There are too many coarse salt impurities, which is not conducive to the excretion of the elderly and children. A bowl of fine green salt was put in, and the painful chef pumped it directly, and said in his heart: Labor is blessed, put so much good green salt, it must be fragrant! Drink an extra bowl in a while!

If you want the cook to ask why you are distressed, you have to mention an old saying: a good cook has a handful of salt. In ancient times, the so-called cooking skills were basically one word - cooking. There are not so many complicated cooking techniques, and it all depends on adding salt to enhance the flavor. In ancient times, the cook was very simple, worshiped a teacher, and was willing to put salt. That's a good cook. In this case, if any of the red and white ceremonies make dishes with a heavy taste, they will be unanimously praised by everyone - this cook is good, you must ask who it is, and the next time you have something at home, you must not ask him to take charge of the spoon, it is too salty!

Speaking of this salt, it is really a valuable product that must be consumed, and the tax revenue of many dynasties comes from the salt monopoly. Don't you see that there are green forest heroes who smuggled salt and made a fortune in the Water Margin?

There are also good and bad salts, with a lot of green salt and coarse salt mixed with sediment. Many wealthy families have the habit of gargling with green salt, and this custom was not ended until the appearance of tooth powder. Even if it is a pound of green salt, Jin Yu is bitter. It's not tasty. Jin Yu opened a restaurant, in addition to the exclusive cooking technology, seasoning is also very important, and salt is the top priority! Jin Yu can't ignore it!

For the sake of the reputation of his restaurant, he bought coarse salt from outside. Process and purify it yourself, that is, dissolve it in distilled water, filter it, put some caustic soda, and stir it vigorously. It would be better if you blew some bubbles into it, and finally filtered out the sediment. Jin Yu never talks about the crystallized salt to the restaurant. It's too eye-catching! So Jin Yu took a trick, every time people carried it over, it was a filtered saturated solution! On the consumption rate of the restaurant. Coupled with Xu Ming's supervision, there will be no one who will not be fatal to investigate what kind of salt it is, not to mention that Jin Yu still has a great favor to them? Of course, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, Jin Yu also asked his subordinates to purchase a small amount of green salt, and said that he enjoyed it himself. Fortunately, it is not difficult to dissolve and filter salt, if you add boiling salt'''''' Jin Yu is likely to be unbearable, and the refined salt from a large pot of water will not be enough. Of course, only Yang Ying knew about this matter, and even the chef Xu Ming was only told by Jin Yu that the salt water was mixed with some valuable things to remove the only bitter taste left, which was an exclusive secret recipe! As for what to do with something'''''' Jin Yu has no obligation to tell him, let him think about it! …,

Compared with profits, the so-called salt purity is not difficult, but it will involve huge conflicts of interest! Salt is not like soap and shaved ice, although the latter is also an exclusive sale, and it is also very expensive, but people are jealous and do not hold grudges, because this kind of new thing has not impacted their peers, and people can not buy it if they can't afford it, and they will endure it. However, salt is different, whether you have money or not, whether you are old or young, you have to eat salt! Even if the purified salt only takes the high-end route, it will also have an impact on the green salt market. Although the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty is the only period in the past dynasties that allowed the private to make salt, but the salt production often has the shadow of the family, so far, Jin Yu has not had any favors to the family, let alone any friendship, people dare not do you on the surface, secretly? How much profit can be made from purified salt? Three catties of coarse salt can purify two catties, and ten cents instantly become four or five dollars! What could be faster than this thing? With a profit of 300 percent, people can stop taking risks on their belts, let alone four or five hundred times the profit! At that time, Jin Yu will definitely be pointed at with a bow and arrow, saying, "You know too much!" Then he was killed, or he was arrested and tried all kinds of torture to ask for secret recipes'''''' money is precious, life is more valuable, for the sake of his own life and his family's life, Jin Yu hasn't figured out how to face it, so he just keeps a low profile.

You can't make a lot of money with a lot of money, but you go around the bush to make money with low-profit methods, which makes Jin Yu very depressed, but the safety factor is higher.

The soup is salty, the laborers eat very happily, and the chef is praised for his exquisite craftsmanship, but the chef does not dare to take credit, so the homeowner's concern about everyone's diet makes the laborers extremely moved. Many of the farmers used to be tenants of other large families, how could those high-ranking old men ever look at them? Not to mention telling the cook to put more salt, and it's green salt!

If you don't say "the ancients are sincere", the ancients were indeed very simple and easy to satisfy, and they knew who was good to them. If you want to repay the head of the family, there is nothing you can do except a handful of strength. Although the laborers did not know what to do with digging so many pits, the head of the house was clearly concerned about them. In addition to a handful of strength, the laborers had nothing to use to thank Jin Yu for taking care of him, so after eating and drinking, he didn't talk about the shortcomings of his parents, and waved his head vigorously, striving to finish it one day earlier.

The laborers are very hard-working, and Jin Yu knows it very well in his heart, but Jin Yu is not satisfied with the progress of the "Winter Vegetable Basket Project". I won't talk about the excavator or anything, but this guy who plows the soil is too weak! In the future, it will take five days for a laborer to complete the workload of three days, provided that the laborer is not lazy and the tools do not strike!

The inefficiency of later generations is more due to people's laziness and procrastination of everything, and this is vividly manifested in public servants. The efficiency in front of me is low, and it is more because the tools are backward! In this era, livestock belonged to the large items of labor, all of which were purchased by Jin Yu, and each household registered and received them when they used it, and paid more rent during the autumn harvest. But small pieces, such as the pouting that the laborers now wield in their hands, were made by the blacksmiths at their own expense. Anyone who has played online games knows that if you want to fight monsters and fight with a lot of blood, you must have a sharp weapon, and a pouting made of pig iron is the best equipment in this era! More is the national standard equipment dropped by the system - wooden pegs'''''' the so-called wooden pegs are not all made of wood, but the front end of the wood is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, just like the antiques dug up in the tomb of a certain generation in later generations.

Seeing that his village still had farming tools with wooden hearts and iron blades, Jin Yu felt very uncomfortable. The history books say that there were agricultural tools with wooden hearts and iron blades during the Warring States Period, and the iron-smelting technology of the Han Dynasty developed by leaps and bounds. However, the reality is far more cruel than empty thoughts! Bronze farming tools appeared early enough, right? However, how many years has it taken to go from stone to bronze? The bronze smelting technology of the Shang Dynasty was already very developed, but it was not possible to popularize bronze farming tools in the Warring States Period! At that time, bronze ware belonged to the aristocracy, and you don't see everyone showing off a broken incense burner that claims to be the largest in the world? Jin Yu couldn't figure it out, for the sake of no one showing off the good life of the people in his territory? Can you eat ? No one in power will understand the suffering of the people, as long as they pay taxes on time and let them bully them casually, no one cares about the life and death of the people! …,

The wood-hearted iron-bladed farm tools appeared very early, and it is said that there were them in the Warring States Period, but the history books only dare to say a representative meaning, not the substance! Does the appearance of the show mean that it can be popularized? Does it mean that the people can use it? Ridiculous! Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries with copper blades! If you want more bullish equipment, will Yingzheng let it go?

The hardness of iron is much higher than that of copper, and the authorities of the two Han Dynasty also discovered this, so all kinds of iron weapons appeared, followed by years of conquest, expanding the territory and splitting the territory to the outside world, and proclaiming my Han Tianwei. It's a pity that I only know that I have beaten others, the foundation of the family has not been solidified, and the productivity has not developed, and sooner or later one day I will have to fall into trouble. Followed by the Sui and Tang Dynasties, fortunately, there was a Sui Wen Emperor, balancing all forces, and finally agriculture developed, but a good chicken nest was beaten by Yang Guang's chicken and eggs, and nothing was saved, so that the productivity was still backward.

Iron was still an expensive metal in the Tang Dynasty, and it was more difficult to mine and smelt than copper, so the price has been high.

It is no exaggeration to say that any farmer can have an iron farm tool, which can be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom! This involves the problem of burial, because it is precious, so only the rich and noble families can afford to bury ironware, ordinary people can only use pottery instead, from this point of view, the unearthed iron farm tools do not represent the popularization, because it is a luxury, ordinary people can not afford it.

Looking at the sweaty villagers, Jin Yu sighed, he had to do something. (To be continued.) )
