Chapter 283: Saving Money (Three Watches)
Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes elegantly and said, "Actually! How much land is appropriate for the peasants, the sperm of the Shi clan has already been carefully calculated. It's not stupid to divide this land as you want. ”
"What then?" Chen Zhongyuan shouted, "Let you count it like this, what's the point of living?" ”
"Central Plains!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with calm eyes and said.
"Alive, alive! How can you give up your life lightly! Chen Zhongyuan immediately changed his words, "This living person can still suffocate urine!" Find a way to live. The crab's blue face collapsed again, "But I can't help it?" ”
"Why do you only think about throttling, how do you cut back on food and clothing, why don't you think about open source! Increase your income too! Hong Lianshuo's glass-colored Tong Ren looked at them and said, "It's right to throttle, don't waste food, but if you want to get rich, you still have to open source." ”
"It's hard to make money." Chen Zhongyuan said dejectedly, "If I had that ability, I wouldn't have starved to death." ”
"Mrs. Hong's idea is good, but you also have to have time!" Ye Yunyu's clear eyes looked at them and said gently.
"Why don't you have time? Winter leisure! Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said.
"Winter leisure to serve in conscription." Jiang Shuisheng stroked his forehead and looked at her and said.
"Isn't it possible to earn money if you serve as a servant? It's good, work for the imperial court, and you won't be in arrears. Hong Lianshuo's eyes like ink jade looked at them and talked eloquently.
As a result, everyone looked at her as if they were fools.
"Hong Niangzi, Hong Niangzi, this servant has no money, and he has to bring his own rations when he goes. When they got to the place, the food was not much better. Lin Nanzheng hurriedly reminded her, don't make jokes.
"Uh......" Hong Lianshuo looked at them blankly, forgetting the time, "You can give you work for relief!" ”
Ye Yunyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's like building roads, building houses and building city walls and fortifications until now......"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hong Lianshuo nodded busily with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Nanzheng and Han Baohu looked at each other, glanced at each other, and understood a little, what does this mean by cash-for-work?
"You have to have plenty of food." Ye Yunyu's index finger lightly crossed the eyebrow peak.
"Is there really no food? There is grain that is not given, and it is better to put it in the grain depot to be moldy and rotten. Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a slightly cold look in his eyes and said.
"It is impossible for all the fields divided by the imperial court to grow grain, and it is necessary to plant mulberry and hemp and weave cloth on the defensive line." Ye Yunyu looked at them quietly and said, "And these are women's work, and the court doesn't want much, you have to weave cloth day and night!" ”
"If there is military service, you must not prevent the enemy from attacking, and this will drain the strong labor of the family." Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes looked at them and said, "If you can farm the land safely, spin and weave cloth, it is all someone who cuts people every day before the battle to ensure the safety of the rear." A compassionate gaze swept over them and said, "Where are there any peaceful years, but someone carries it for us in front of the battle." He said with a gentle expression, "Of course there is no hard work in the rear, what do the soldiers in front eat?" What to drink? These are mutually reinforcing, indispensable, and no one can do without the other. ”
"Of course, these are all conscripts that must be paid in the name of the imperial court and must be served." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said.
"I remember the famous saying of Confucius, harsh government is reluctant to tiger!" Jiang Shuisheng thought about it and looked at them and said.
"That's right! This is a harsh tax, so the peasants actually have to pay a lot more. Ye Yunyu looked at them with deep and bright eyes and said, "This official has come down to observe the people's feelings, and you have to pay for a good reception." The court has to defend against foreign enemies, you don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy when you hide in the rear, but you can't make bows and arrows, and you can't sharpen your arrows. Or go to work as a man, transporting grain and grass. He pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the court will never let the people be idle. ”
"It's really the suffering of the people, the suffering of the people, and the suffering of each other!" Hong Lianshuo's eyebrows looked at them like thick ink-like eyes and said.
"This grain will rot, the cloth will not rot, it is not easy to store, and it is not easy to transport, why don't you collect money for this tax! Coins? Jiang Shuisheng said on a whim, looking at them without blinking and said, "Can't you?" ”
"Can you buy food if you have money?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him amusefully and said, "Neither Jinshan nor Yinshan will work." ”
"We don't have a copper plate right now." Han Baohu patted his belt and said, "If you want to exchange things, you have to exchange things." The most primitive means. ”
"There's no money to collect." Ye Yunyu said bluntly.
"The production of gold, silver and copper is very small, and now it mainly relies on copper coins. And copper ore is also rare. Ye Yunyu chuckled and said, "Rare things are expensive, if there are too many things, they are worthless, this sand is like gold when it is directly hit by the sun, why can't the sand be like gold!" Because there are so many! ”
"Hehe...... Hong Lianshuo chuckled and said, "Another reason is that people like to save money and don't spend it at home." In this way, if you save a little, I save a little, and there will be fewer and fewer copper coins on the market. This has led to a shortage of money and copper. ”
"Ahh Chen Zhongyuan looked at her with a look of surprise and said, "Is this possible?" ”
"What about you? What do you do with money? Hong Lianshuo looked at him amusedly and asked.
"Of course, it's saved up and hidden, and I'm happy to take it out and see if it's okay." Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking.
"In fact, there are very few places for farmers to use money, and the small-scale peasant economy is self-sufficient, growing grain and vegetables by themselves, exchanging oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for grain, planting some mulberry and hemp in cloth, and weaving clothes by themselves. Where is the place where you calculate the use of money? Hong Lianshuo counted one by one.
"If you are sick, you have to spend money, and if you can't make your family ruined, it's better that people are not dead, and your home is broken." Jiang Shuisheng thought for a while and said, "It's a difficult choice, it's not a good choice. ”
"You also need money to buy land, buy a house, and buy a shop." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with big bronze bell-like eyes and said, hehe smiled and said, "It costs money to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"Hehe......" Hong Lianshuo shook his head and smiled, "Can these things be done without saving money?" Any major life event needs money, or a big head. ”
"Yes, yes, what Mrs. Hong said is right, you have to be careful in your life, and you can't spend money lavishly and have empty pockets when something happens." Chen Zhongyuan echoed.
"So it's not that ordinary people save money, they really don't dare to spend money indiscriminately. Causing a shortage of money is also a helpless move. Hong Lianshuo said helplessly.
