On the narrow road that can accommodate a large cart in and out, the shrubs and trees on both sides have withered, and fallen leaves have covered both sides of the road. Many rotten leaves are trapped on the muddy road by wheels. The people on both sides are still mainly dilapidated thatched houses, with only a small number of tiled houses, most of which are rich households doing business.

There were very few big landlords in the Wei Dynasty. Most of the rich people invested in industrial and commercial trade. They made money with money and made money the fastest. People all over the world have such a consensus, so industrial and commercial trade is the most developed.

This also creates a very strange phenomenon. Most of the money of rich people is invested in the business and factories, rather than buying land.

In this way, the price of land has always been inexpensive. As long as the people are willing, they will have land to cultivate. The more they can't resist the merger of land and arbitrary trading, there are no big landlords connected to more than 10,000 acres.

The current manor, the six villages and several hidden households, are like a blooming plum blossom, connected by petals, and the land is all the official villages given to Xu Zixian by the court. Of course, there is no question of changes in transactions. The best thing is smarter official households, who gradually start their own business in small business transactions, and most of the people who can build tiled houses and brick houses on the farm are this type of people.

In Xu Zixian's eyes, this place is too poor after all.

I still remember reading a few days ago that the imperial court official's residence was copied. There was a report from the censor of Jinghu South Road that the army had been prosperous and the taxes were heavy. The people on Jinghu South Road were displaced. Many people abandoned their land and stopped farming, and were willing to be helpless refugees.

Large tracts of land were abandoned and countless people were displaced. What they did was because the various regular taxes and taxes were really unaffordable.

Of course, this is also because Jinghu is special. It was originally developed late, and the land was fertile and the production was not bad. In addition, it was located in the inland area, so it was not necessary to be taken care of by Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinfeng, Fujian, etc., especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, where the seedlings and southwest barbarians will be mixed, and there will be a chaos in a few years. In view of this, the court has reduced the regular taxes and exempted the two routes, and strictly ordered local officials not to add miscellaneous taxes at will, so the people in these places went the other way.

Take a place like Fujian with developed industry and commerce, so people still live like this. You can imagine what life the people in Jinghu South Road and North Road live.

Xu Zixian didn't feel sad for the Great Wei. He was the soul of later generations. He always regarded himself as a poor college student. Only now did he realize that the poor he thought was just a joke, and the people in front of him were suffering in life. From birth to death, he lived a very painful life.

"The prince doesn't have to worry too much." Li Yi heard Xu Zixian's feelings and said, "It's almost the same situation everywhere, and at least there is a bowl of food to eat. My hometown is Hebei East Road, which has been harassed by military disasters and harasses for twenty years. The people lost their houses and land, became refugees, and their wives and children were separated. I don't know how many cases there were. If there were no pirates in Fujian, it would be much better."

Xu Zixian said from the bottom of his heart: "After I become an official, I should put military affairs first and eliminate the siege of pirates, I must do a good job."

Li Yi, Fu Qian and others clasped their fists and said, "We will definitely help the prince."

Xu Zi nodded first, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the Jiazizhuang, and everyone dismounted.

He Fu, the head of the village, had already received the reward and brought a few people to the entrance of the village. When he saw Xu Zi dismounting, he quickly went up and bowed to him with his fists.

"No need to cause this trouble." Xu Zixian said: "Unrelated people can go back to do their own business. He Guanzhuang will take me to someone with a spinning wheel for a walk."

"Yes, the prince." He Fu was quite respectful. Since Li Cheng fell, all the measures of the marquis' mansion have been satisfactory. Now the prince's reputation is extremely high.

At this moment, he pointed to the several families at the entrance of the village, and He Fu said, "These families have carts, so the prince can go and see them."

Xu Zi nodded first and entered a family at the entrance of the village.

There are three thatched-in-the-houses with rammed earth, two side houses, and the thatched houses are behind the house. This is a typical farmhouse.

A few chickens were walking on the ground in front of the door. When they saw a large crowd coming, they flew away in a hurry.

There were two little dirty kids playing in the yard, but they were not afraid of people. They stared at Xu Zixian, who was walking over first.

Maybe I feel that the person in front of me is different from ordinary people, and I feel a little scared in my eyes.

Xu Zixian wore a white martial arts uniform, a folded scarf, a plain gold belt around his waist, and a barrier knife hung.

After more than half a year of hard practice, especially in recent years of learning martial arts, his appearance and spirit are much better than ordinary people, especially his upright demeanor and calm smile on his face, which adds a bit of style.

"Give them the candy."

This was already prepared. Chen Zuo walked over with a big eye and smiled, took out a handful of candy from the bag and handed it to the two dirty children.

"Mom, the guest is here."

"Discover, distinguished guest."

The two children shouted, but did not go home. They took the sugar beans they had just obtained and went to the neighbors to show off and share with their companions.

Seeing this, Xu Zi smiled first. Except for the houses that were too simple, everything in front of him was not much different from his childhood.

However, no one answered the question in the hall. Maybe he didn't believe the child's words, so Xu Zixian didn't care. The side wing was the kitchen. He glanced at it and saw that the cabinet where the grain was stored was filled with fine rice and brown rice pockets, which were filled with most of the grain, and a few skewers of fish were hung under the eaves. This was already quite rich in the homes of the people in Fujian.

Now that he walked to the door of the hall, the man who seemed to be in charge of the family was at home, so he stopped in front of the door and looked inside.

But I saw a woman who was in her thirties and looked fine. She was sitting calmly before the machine-tracking car, her hands kept moving the car and her right foot kept spinning the cotton into cotton yarn.

Xu Zi looked at it for a while and saw that the woman was in a very fast position. The cart was covered with cotton yarn.

There are also a lot of house corners, and the whole house is already full.

Xu Zi didn't say anything at first, turned his head and walked back, and said to Fu Qian: "How long does it take to repair the car when you keep using it like this?"

Fu Qian said: "Minor problems may occur every day, but these women can just fiddle with them. The major problems are, once every half a month to a month, I sent a few wooden craftsmen here, and they will repair them directly when they encounter damage."

"How long does it take to scrap one?"

“It can always be used for about a year.”

"The Fangche will make a profit in two months, and the remaining ten months will be considered a profit, which is not bad."

"What the prince said is exactly this."

When Xu Zixian and Fu Qian were answering each other, Chen Zuocai walked into the room and heard a voice from outside. Xu Zixian smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to disturb the woman making money, but Chen Zuocai and the others didn't think so. Since he was here, of course he had to ask some things clearly.

Li Yi has always followed him, and he didn't go in. This Fengchang didn't go in. The servant was so cautious that he could see his character from the details.

After a while, Chen Zuo walked back and said, "I asked the woman to roll her eyes for a long time, thinking that I delayed her making money."

Everyone laughed, and Xu Zixian smiled and said, "It's pretty light to roll your eyes, it's fine if you don't hit you with a spindle."

Fu Qian smiled and said, "You are afraid you can turn your eyes against her, your big eyes are too strong."

"Talk the matter." Xu Zixian didn't want to tell He Fu to hear some unscrupulous words, so he stopped talking and said, "What did you ask me if you ask me?"

"One hundred and fifty kilograms a month." Chen Zuo said with two fingers on his fingers, "This is still a base number, sometimes it can reach as much as 200 kilograms."

Xu Zixian was surprised and said, "That's it really all night long?"

"No!" Chen Zuocai said: "I asked, her mother-in-law fell asleep in the east room and slept until the afternoon to get up to eat. The mother-in-law followed the house, the woman took the children, washed clothes and cooked, went to bed early, got up in the middle of the night to pick up her mother-in-law, and then went to bed, and she took turns to come."

“This is too tiring.”

"If you have money, are you afraid of being tired?" Chen Zuocai seemed to have a smile in his eyes. It should be the noble accent of Xiaozi, and at the same time he was also a little moved. No matter what, with such a kind-hearted master, his feelings were still quite good.

Fu Qian smiled and said, "The prince doesn't know the miners at the valley entrance. Before going down the well, he always entrusted what he wanted to say. It would collapse once a few months. If he buried it, he would die without a lifetime. Who knows if he could come up this time? So every time he went down the well, his family had to be the last one. That's it. There are still miners who can earn at least 200 cents. Where can I find such a job that can make more money?"

Li Yi was moved and said, "My hometown is not far from Zunhua Iron Field. Those men who pull iron ore are not covered with scars on their shoulders and backs. The old injuries have not healed, and new injuries have been added. These are all scars pulled out of the iron stone, with blood stains. They are used to it."

"The same is true for the boatman, his shoulders are deformed."

"It's difficult for people to live in the world."

"This is a big deal to the Donghu people."

"Not right. The Donghu people invaded each other in the late Wuzong period. During the Chengzong period, they began to frequently hit the edges. The three times they actually came in were during the Chongde period. However, the taxes of the state dynasty were heavy, but the income of the financial income did not increase but decreased. It started after Emperor Wenzong."

"After a careful calculation, Taizu founded, Taizong was founded, Renzong and Xuanzong were promoted, and later Shizong, Zhezong, Shenzong, Guangzong, Xiaozong, Wenzong, Yizong, Dezong, Wuzong, and Chengzong, and there was a state of being able to be admired and then promoted, and then suppressed. From 60 million guan a year to 100 million guan to 160 million guan, and then reduced to 100 million guan today. The taxes are increasing, and the industry and commerce are becoming more and more developed, but the people are becoming more and more difficult. Isn't that a surprise?"

In the end, no one can answer the matter. There are smart people in front of you, but you must understand the situation of more than 20 roads in the entire area, consider comprehensively and weigh the past and present, and finally get the correct insights and answers.
