Seeing twenty-six pairs of eyes full of longing, Zhang Rui pondered for a moment before asking: "Do you know how much is an acre of medium fields in Yongzhou?" What is the value of a house in Lulong City? How much does it cost to set up a two-entry house in the countryside? A family of five, 100 acres of land, what is needed for annual taxes? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Some of these girls have never touched their family accounts at all.

Although Zheng Jiao began to help her mother settle accounts and assist the housekeeper several years ago, she only knew the expenses of her family's daily food and clothing, the annual output of the grange, and the expenses of the New Year's holidays.

But she really doesn't understand the price of acres of houses, taxes, etc.

"If you use five baht to calculate, the lowest is two thousand four, and the most expensive is three thousand yuan, you can buy one acre of medium land."

Zhang Rui has bought fields, houses, yards, and is also responsible for the payment of taxes for the slaves and tenants under his name, and he is very clear about these, and said: "In the east of Lulong City, a house is only worth 2,000 yuan. ”

"No matter how much it costs to build a house in the countryside, it is only about a thousand."

"A family of five, not counting the oral endowment, just counting the field rent-" Zhang Rui paused for a moment before saying, "You know the field rent, right?" The land tax is divided into two parts: land tax and field rent, and the land tax is 10% of the grain harvest. And the field rent, if it is exchanged for five baht, will have to pay nearly 1,000 per year. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui sighed: "The people work hard for a year, but just by paying field taxes and oral taxes, the harvest will go to three or four out of ten." In addition, he has to be forced into labor every year, and there is one less strong man in the family, but he has to provide him with food, and his life will be very embarrassing. If there is another funeral and marriage, it will be sold for children and daughters, and land for sale in an instant. ”

"Although war can bring knighthoods, more people die on the battlefield. Even, it is a lucky thing to be able to lose your life on the battlefield. If you are missing an arm or a leg, not only will you not be able to work when you come back, but you will have to rely on your family to support you—"

Zhang Rui couldn't go on.

She didn't want to tell the delicate girls in front of her that many disabled soldiers couldn't stand the fact that they had been dragging down their families, and often hid in the mountains and forests, waiting for death.

But even if they didn't say it, the women could probably guess it, and they couldn't help but be silent.

At first, they still had a little contemptuous attitude, feeling, wow, the acres are so cheap, and the houses are so cheap, not to mention our family, even the slaves and maids can afford to save a few more years of money.

But in the end, they understood that for ordinary people, what they thought was "cheap", they really couldn't afford it.

Zheng Jiao's face was full of shame: "At first, I thought that Lord Guowu had lowered their wages because he had already provided food and lodging for female workers, but now it seems that it ......."

This salary is very generous for the people.

If there are two women in the family who work, most of the family's food will be eaten, and most of the land rent will be covered by a year's salary, and the burden on the family will be greatly reduced.

Zhang Rui nodded: "Don't compare the wages of female workers with the handmaidens around you, these handmaidens have grown up with you since childhood, they will be your henchmen, arms, and people who have no ancestors, what if the monthly money is higher?" This is the money to buy their lives! ”

It is enough to kill slaves and maids, and redeem them with money; If you hurt a good citizen, even if you are a son of a family, you must be sentenced according to the law.

Although the income of slaves and maids is high, they are exchanged for their lives and even their ancestors. Don't say that others look down on them, they may not look down on themselves.

Among the twenty-seven women, Feng Qing, who was the most silent and the youngest, said with a heavy face: "No wonder the maid of our family is reluctant to go out even if she dies headlong. The common people are so pitiful. ”

"Not only that, but our country has always imposed a tenfold tax on merchants who trade in wine and meat. Prevent the people from indulging in wine and meat, not thinking of making progress, and ruining their family business in order to satisfy their appetites. Therefore, ordinary people will only eat meat during the New Year's festival or when their family members are triumphant. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui showed a hint of admiration: "Lord Guowu saw the suffering of the people and wanted to help every family by helping women. ”

As soon as she said this, many women's faces were like fire, and Zheng Jiao's head was about to be buried in the ground.

Feng Qing asked seriously: "You say, does Lord Guowu mean it...... Let's eat the same thing with the female workers? ”

When Zheng Jiao heard this, she also felt that it was possible: "I heard my father say that when Lord Guowu took his dependents to build roads, he 'deducted' the family's share and let these grains be cooked with his own share. In the end, Kokusha served a bowl and gave the rest to everyone. ”

The women had never heard of this, after all, they were all marginal members of the family, how could they know about this kind of gossip that only circulated among the upper ministers?

But hearing Zheng Jiao say this, no one doubted the truth.

Although they had only been with Kokusha for just two hours, they had been conquered by Kokubu, and they were so impressed with admiration that they decided to follow suit.

Zhang Rui thought for a moment before saying: "Lord Guowu should not be mandatory, just considering that we are pampered and can't eat such food. But we have also seen it in Zhongtiantai these days, and those dependents are very accustomed to eating canteen meals. We ate these days, although at first we felt a little less refined, isn't it okay to eat too much? ”

"Think about it, when you get to the factory, the female workers eat in the canteen, and the family members don't mind eating big pot rice. Just let us open a small stove alone, big fish and meat, pastry soup, it's a bit too much, right? ”

Everyone said yes in unison.

Feng Qing resolutely said: "We strive to eat the same meals as the female workers, of course, the portion should be smaller, and we can't waste food." If you can't stand the cravings, you go out to buy some food, what do you think? ”

Zheng Jiao shook her head, thinking that there was still a leak in this idea: "When everyone goes out, it is naturally impossible to go alone, so you must always bring some slaves and guards." Even if we can endure it, they are afraid that they will complain in their hearts, and they may not be able to do it. ”

Although there is a difference between master and servant, the servant cannot put his beak on what the master wants to do.

But when people make you a slave, don't you just come for good food and drink? If you don't give people enough treatment, the vicious ones will be ruined.

Even if you don't call, whether the servant is dedicated and effective or not, and grinding and waiting, eating and waiting for death, is a completely different concept.

"Instead, every week or month, we either go to the best local restaurant and book a few tables, or rent a rich businessman's chef to cook hundreds of dishes. Eat a few dishes yourself, and distribute the rest of the good dishes to the people around you, so that they don't complain. ”

Hearing Zheng Jiao's idea, everyone felt good.

Zhang Rui said again: "By the way, although the female workers have a five-baht coin a day, it seems to be very little. But if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people in the factory, this is not a small amount of money. Not to mention us, even the elders of the clan may not see so much cash at one time, and there will definitely be people who have crooked thoughts. ”

"We must fulfill our responsibilities, we must not let people swallow the hard-earned money of female workers, and we must not do such evil things that lose our conscience."

"It's nature!"
