Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes gracefully and said, "Actually! The nobles have already carefully calculated how much land is appropriate to allocate to the farmers. They are not stupid and just divide the land however they want."

"What should we do?" Chen Zhongyuan yelled, "If you think about it like this, what's the point of living?"

"Zhongyuan!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with calm eyes.

"Live, live! How can you give up your life so easily!" Chen Zhongyuan immediately changed his words, "This living person can still choke himself to death! Find a way to live." The crab-green face fell again, "

But there’s nothing I can do?”

"Why do you only think about cutting back on expenditures and cutting down on food and clothing? Why don't you think about increasing income? Increase your income!" Hong Lianshuo's glazed Tongren looked at them and said, "It is right to reduce expenditures and not waste food, but if you want to be rich

It still needs to be open sourced.”

"It's hard to make money." Chen Zhongyuan said frustratedly, "If I had that ability, I wouldn't starve to death."

"Ms. Hong's idea is good, but you have to have time!" Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes and said gently.

"Why don't you have time? I have free time in winter!" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with his dark eyes.

"Dongxian has to do corvee service." Jiang Shuisheng said while stroking his forehead and looking at her.

"Wouldn't it be possible to make money by doing corvee service? It's good. If you work for the court, you won't be in arrears with your salary." Hong Lianshuo looked at them and talked with his dark jade-like eyes.

As a result, everyone looked at her as if she were a fool.

"Madam Hong, Madam Hong, those who work as corvees and have no money have to bring their own food rations when they go there. When they get there, the food will not be much better." Lin Nanzheng quickly reminded her, don't make a joke.

"Uh..." Hong Lianshuo looked at them blankly, forgetting the time, "We can work for relief!"

Ye Yunyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's just like building roads, building houses and building city wall fortifications now..."

"Yes, yes!" Hong Lianshuo nodded hurriedly with a smile on his lips.

Lin Nanzheng and Han Qinhu looked at each other, looking at each other, and somewhat understood, what was the meaning of providing work for relief?

"Then you have to have enough food." Ye Yunyu said as she lightly traced the peak of her eyebrows with her index finger.

"Is there really no food? If we don't give them food, we would rather have it moldy and rotten in the granary." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with cold eyes and said.

"It is impossible for all the fields allocated by the imperial court to be cultivated for food. They also have to grow mulberry and hemp and weave cloth." Ye Yunwen looked at them quietly and said, "And these are women's jobs, and the imperial court does not want much.

You have to weave day and night!"

"With military service, you have to prevent the enemy from invading, and this will take away the strong labor force at home." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "If you can farm, spin and weave in a stable manner, it is because there are people in the field.

Killing people every day to ensure the safety of the rear." He glanced at them with pitiful eyes and said, "There are no peaceful years, but there are people carrying them in front of the battle for us." He added with a gentle look, "Of course there are no us.

While they are working hard at the rear, what do the soldiers in the front eat and drink? These are complementary to each other and indispensable. No one can do without the other."

"Of course, these are the corvees that must be paid and performed in the name of the imperial court." Ye Yunyu looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"I remember Confucius's famous saying, harsh government is more powerful than tigers!" Jiang Shuisheng remembered and looked at them and said.

"Yes! These are exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so the farmers actually have to pay a lot more." Ye Yunyu looked at them with deep and bright eyes and said, "This official is here to observe the people's sentiments, and you have to pay to entertain them well. The imperial court must defend itself against foreign enemies.

You hide in the rear and don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but you are not allowed to make bows and arrows, or to sharpen the arrows, or to work as a civilian, transporting grain and grass." He pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the court will never let the common people do it.

There is a lot of idleness in people, and this person is not using it in vain."

"It's really hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die. Everyone has their own pain!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes as thick as ink that could not be removed under his eyebrows.

"This grain will rot, but the cloth will not rot. It is difficult to store and transport. Why don't we collect money for this tax? Copper coins?" Jiang Shuisheng said unexpectedly, looking at them without blinking.

Said, "No way?"

"Can you buy food if you have money?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him funny and said, "Not even gold or silver."

"We don't have a single copper coin now." Han Qinhu patted his belt and said, "If you want to exchange things, you have to exchange things for things. The most primitive method."

"There is no money to collect." Ye Yunyu said bluntly.

"The output of gold, silver, and copper is extremely small. Now we mainly rely on copper coins. And copper mines are also rare." Ye Yunyu chuckled, "Things are rare and valuable, and if there is too much of anything, it is worthless. This sand has been

The sun looks like gold when it shines directly, so why can’t the sand look like gold? Because there are so many of them!”

"Haha..." Hong Lianshuo chuckled and said, "Another reason is that people like to save money and keep it at home without spending it. In this way, if you save a little and I save a little, there will be less and less copper coins in the market.

This resulted in a shortage of money and copper."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her in astonishment and said, "Is this possible?"

"What about you? What do you do with money?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him funny and asked.

"Of course I saved it and hid it. I was happy to take it out to see if it was right." Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking.

"In fact, there are very few places for farmers to spend money. The small-scale peasant economy is self-sufficient. They grow their own grains and vegetables. They can exchange grains for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, grow some mulberry and hemp for fabrics, weave them by themselves, and make their own clothes. Calculate the money you use.

Where is that place still?" Hong Lianshuo asked one item after another.

"If you are sick, you have to spend money, which may lead to your family being destroyed. What is better is that your family is destroyed while you are still alive." After hearing this, Jiang Shuisheng thought for a while and said, "It is a difficult choice, and it is not always easy to choose."

"Purchasing land, buying a house, and a shop also requires money." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with his big copper bell-like eyes and said with a smile, "Marrying a wife requires money."

"Haha..." Hong Lianshuo shook his head and laughed, "Can we do this without saving money? Any major event in life requires money, or a lot of money."

"Yes, yes, Madam Hong is right, you have to live your life carefully and spend money lavishly until something happens and your pockets are empty." Chen Zhongyuan echoed.

"So instead of ordinary people saving money, they really don't dare to spend money randomly. It is helpless to cause a money shortage." Hong Lianshuo said with great helplessness.
