In mid-July, the carnival caused by the partition of one part and the other reached its peak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA national assembly to decide the fate of Xia Cheng has officially begun, and all public property will be sold to the "real Xia Cheng people" at a low price, and everyone will have a chance.

A large amount of public land confiscated before and the people of Xinxia City belong to the clan, and in the future, the distribution of land will be divided among the leaders of the clan who are elected, capable, and prestigious, and promise to be fair.

They also promised that in the future, the real Xiacheng people would not have to pay any taxes and would not need to cultivate the public land, and would be completely free.

Since there is no need to pay taxes, and since the system has collapsed, the people of Xia City feel that it is better for the land to be with the clan, and the clans will help each other, after all, the same clan is related by blood.

The vast majority of the land and slaves were concentrated in the hands of the conspirators' families, nominally clanal, but the jurisdiction and distribution were in their hands.

Most of the people of the country looked forward to the fact that the land slaves who were publicly owned became their private property, and excitedly looked forward to the day when they would be distributed.

As for the workshop Yantian and the like, I didn't feel much benefit when I was managing the public property before, and I didn't feel that the public property belonged to me, so it was better to sell it and turn it into money, and everyone shared a share, which was really owned by everyone.

When that day came, Muma, like most people, went to the center of the city with all the coins.

On the first day, land was allocated, and when the land was sufficient, the land was only used as property, which needed to be sold for money and then distributed to every citizen in Xia City.

The people of Xiacheng came into contact with currency very early, and because of the strict control of the city, the currency was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which can be regarded as the political legacy and reputation of the city in the previous years.

From paying taxes to purchasing, currency can be done, and naturally no one wonders what money is all about, but it just thinks it's amazing. This thing is sometimes very strange in itself, in previous lives and even in the Song and Ming dynasties, some high-ranking officials still did not understand why prices would rise every winter when the Beijing camp was paid for the forbidden army.

In the process of selling the land, Mu Ma took out almost all the coins to buy about 600 acres of land very close to the city, and the price was relatively reasonable, basically the land price set by the Planning and Statistics Department in the past. He also left some money to buy a few more public slaves tomorrow.

But the next day, there was a problem in selling slaves, and the price of slaves continued to rise, and Casa had planned to buy ten slaves, but in the end he could only buy four with his money.

In the afternoon, when the price was higher when selling the iron tools for ploughing oxen, most people could not afford to buy iron tools for ploughing cattle at all, Mu Ma looked at the four slaves, a cow, and two ploughshares in the family, and was excited, he would have a better life next year, he owned so much land and slaves, and a part of the collective workshop, and he would have a lot of money in the future.

"Could it be that Ji Xia really did something wrong? In just two months, these people in the council have made everyone's life better than what they had accumulated in previous years. ”

He was a little confused, a little confused, completely confused.

When the land slaves were happy, they began to sell their workshops, stating that the money would be distributed among everyone on an average basis.

Salt, copper mines, smelting and other workshops were sold in the National Assembly, and casa could not come up with so much money, so it could only be hot.

Moreover, it is impossible to buy these workshops by themselves, and when the Lisi system was still in existence before, with his prestige, he might be able to gather the strength of fifty households and buy some small workshops, but now individuals only care about individuals, and it is impossible at all.

But as the conspirators' families kept carrying the baskets of money, a salt pan and its slaves, tools, etc., were sold for a staggering price.

Mu Ma was even more puzzled, because it had not been sold out yet, and he, including every Xia Cheng countryman, could get a large amount of coins, which was even equivalent to the copper coin income of a family in the previous year or two.

This money was placed in the previous Xia City, and he could live well for three or five years without working at all, and he could live very well.

"Sure enough, the system has changed, and everyone's life is better! Not only do you have money, but you don't have to pay taxes! ”

Many people praised the council's wise decision, and the entire summer city reveled once again.

In this way, the copper coins stored in the previous money house, the copper coins in the public warehouse, and the copper coins that were frantically minted in a month and were not up to standard or even had no burrs were polished, all together, concentrated a large number of slaves, workshops, minerals, and ox farming iron tools in Xia City into the hands of several large families.

It's a family, not a clan.

However, it is true that everyone has more money in their hands, so they cannot envy others for living better, but can only agree that they are not working hard enough or are not too lucky.

In Mu Ma's memory, those days were simply a carnival, many people had never seen so much money in their hands, and they didn't even think about it, this carnival even temporarily diluted the sad rumors that Ji Xia was killed by an arrow.

It's just that since that carnival, there is only bitterness left in Muma's memory.

By the end of July, a large amount of the accumulated product had been consumed, and the price of grain had risen to a price that was unimaginable before, and the copper coins that used to be able to eat for a month could only be exchanged for five or six days of food.

This kind of price increase can really be regarded as the price increase that the people of Xiacheng are happy to welcome, because most of the people of Xiacheng do not have many slaves, and they were all cultivators before, and they have a lot of grain. The price of grain has risen, which is a good thing for most of the people in Xiacheng who used to live by farming, Mu Ma never thought that he could live so well, every day the grain in his hands will be sold for more money, and those who have a large number of slaves and workshops can only buy grain from the hands of the countrymen, and the money is very sufficient.

By the time the news of the inexorable destruction of the two cities finally reached Xia Cheng in early August, the conspirators of Xia Cheng finally let go of their last shred of reserve.

The price of salt had risen eightyfold in just ten days, and the price was still rising, and some people were displeased to find the families who had bought the salt pans, and the answer was that now that grain was so expensive, that the slaves who opened the mines always had to eat.

Besides, this salt pan is mine, I can sell it at whatever price I want, and you can not eat it if you want it too expensive.

The city government is gone, and these people who think that salt is expensive naturally find the clan leader or the relatives of the council, but the nobles think that the increase is very reasonable, because the person in charge of the salt fields is the new council member and is also a clan noble.

This can really be regarded as someone kneeling in the hall to sue the official, and several people were angry and wanted to resist, but they were arrested. There is no law in the city, everything depends on the decision of the clan, and the clan leaders show up again to sell them so that they can be put back.

Some people dislike the high price of salt, and naturally some people get salt that is almost free of money, as long as they stand aside with the clan leaders, the people of Lao Xiacheng are divided again.

But the clan nobles don't need so many people to take refuge, only one-fifth of them are enough to shock the rest.

Anyway, the system has been shattered, and there is no government that transcends all strata, whoever has the biggest fist is justified, and the system of the Lisi has collapsed, and no one can organize so many people to resist, and it is meaningless to resist alone.

After the price of salt increased, the price of accumulated iron tools was even higher than that of cultivated cattle, and the price of copper tools was also rising rapidly.

Except for the money, everything is lacking, everything is expensive, everything is changing, and even the two cities of Ewei have terminated all trade with Xia Cheng on the grounds that Xia Cheng is temporarily in turmoil.

At this time, it was already the end of July, and the autumn ploughing was about to begin, and the salt was still affordable for the time being, but the autumn ploughing began to give the casa a headache.

He now has six or seven hundred acres of land, but he has only one ox, two sets of ploughshares, and four slaves...... If you can't plant it at all, what's the use of this land?

It's not just him, many people are facing the same problem. On the first day of the sale of the land, many people had exhausted their money, and on the second day, they did not have much money when they bought iron tools for slaves and cattle.

When the money is gone, it will be impossible to buy those things at the previous price.

So someone began to sell the land, Mu Ma pondered it, and also decided to sell his own 300 acres of land, after all, now the price of grain, salt and farm tools are rising, and it costs money to raise slaves, and those empty land is wasteland.

Someone sells, naturally someone takes over, and sometimes even no money is needed, only a bag of salt can be exchanged for a hundred acres of land. Those who bought land were naturally slaves, plentiful, ploughing cattle, and salt was not lacking.

Salt is the most influential in everyone's life, and when it was public property, it really seemed that it could not be seen or touched, and now that it is returned to the private person and the money is in his hands, he can't afford to eat this salt himself.

Before the autumn planting, someone finally stood up and suddenly the people of Xiacheng took back the salt fields as public property, but after discussing with the council, they asked: "Since the salt fields are taken back as public property, that is, the previous system has been restored, so will your land and slaves also be taken back as public property?" ”

"Then we can redeem it and use it for everyone to use, okay?"

"Yes, as long as you come up with enough money, of course. It's private, and people spent the money in the first place, so why should you take it back? ”

People did the math and thought that everyone could scrape together the money they had sold in the salt pans and buy it back, so they went to the person to discuss it, and the answer was: "What was the price of salt at that time?" What is the price of grain? What is the price of a slave? Isn't it ridiculous that you want to buy it back with the original money? ”

Thinking about it, it also made sense, and the people begged again, and the clan leaders also came forward on behalf of the various clans, and finally came up with a compromise.

"I want 60,000 acres of good land close to the city, give me 60,000 acres of land, as long as it is our countrymen, I will take care of the salt in this life."

Even so, everyone had to get together, and one person made up a hundred acres of land, and returned the salt field to the public, at least a copper coin can eat enough salt without spending it.

After tossing back and forth, by mid-August, Mu Ma suddenly found that his nightmare had come.

He looked at the small box full of copper coins in his house, and suddenly realized that money was sometimes not spent.

There was little money before, but money can buy a lot of things. Nowadays, there is a lot of money, and people are bartering it, and no one knows what the price will be tomorrow.

I sold some of the 600 acres of land I bought, and contributed 100 acres to redeem the salt pans, so now only 200 acres remain, and I don't need four slaves at all, so I sold two more slaves.

I'm pretty good, after all, I still have a carpentry workshop before and can share some money, and I'm a little better than most people in Xiacheng. Those who were not as good as themselves before, after running around the city and experiencing a carnival, found themselves back to the previous situation, or even worse.

The land is still the same, the prices are skyrocketing, and the slaves can't afford to raise it, except for the money in their hands, everything is not even as good as before. But the money can't be spent, according to today's prices, I'm afraid that I won't be able to last next year's summer harvest, and this money will have to be thrown in, what should I do then?

Summer City's fragile, just steady, tightly controlled monetary economy collapsed almost completely within a month.

The currency issued exceeded the production level of the entire Xia City by several times, a large number of people who once had purchasing power were reduced to slavery again, foreign trade was not controlled by the Supply and Marketing Department and the closed policy of the two cities was completely cut off, and the scarcity of daily necessities and the hoarding of people with good intentions were ......

All these things, as an ordinary Chinese person, do not know.

But he knew something that was closely related to him, the woodworking workshop he had built with everyone...... It's over.

Even if you hire a bowl of rice, the price of rice and salt is rising every day, and every day's expenses are consuming the money that everyone has made up.

The chariot has been saturated in Summer City, and now the land has shrunk a lot, and it is not needed so much. Without the Supply and Marketing Division, the Transportation Division transports outwards and has nowhere to sell. The two cities of Wei'e cut off trade with Xia Cheng again, and they are still waiting for winter, because there is new news, Qiongxi was forced to retreat by Ji Xia, and Ji Xia seems to be not dead.

The carpentry workshop paid for every day it worked, and in desperation, the hired men who had nothing surrounded the casua, first begging the casa to let them do it or they would starve to death, but the muma said that he had not eaten much......

Then the carpentry workshop was smashed, and more than 100 hired hands rebelled, they were not slaves, so the collapse of the currency had the greatest impact on them, and the slaves at least had their masters to eat.

The clan nobles of the council did not need to recruit the countrymen, and they did not bother to recruit the countrymen. Relying on his own private soldiers and some clansmen who depended on them for survival, he easily captured more than 100 people and buried them alive as an example.
