Chapter 171
"What the princess doesn't know is that we were originally born in a place far away. That place is covered with snow all the time, which is different from Beijing."
The speaker's eyes were full of envy, for the people in Beijing.
He chuckled and said, "The clothes the people in our place wear are not as good-looking as those who go to Beijing. In winter, the whole family only sees cotton-padded clothes. If you wear them, I can't wear them because it's cold and the food harvest is not good."
, and two-thirds were robbed by the officials of the imperial court, but when the master arrived, we only had to pay one-half of the food."
The extra ones always allow them to eat more.
Xia Hanyu's face darkened when he heard what they said.
"You want half of it?"
But the taxes in Daxia have been lowered since her father came to power.
Xia Hanyu thought about it for a while, and it was probably half and half.
After all, the founding of Daxia did not take many years. The consumption of wars and disaster relief was not small, but the father still reduced the grain tax. Even though the treasury of Daxia was empty, almost every period of food for the soldiers was not enough.
She had to think of various ways to get it together, which was why her father dealt with Wang Hongde like that when she first came back.
Corruption, especially the military pay and rations, must not be tolerated!
Every time my father was furious in the court, it was not for Daxia, for military pay or for disaster relief.
However, when the other party heard her question, she nodded happily, "Yes, it's all thanks to you, princess."
Xia Hanyu sneered in her heart, but it was hard to expose this for the time being, lest these people doubt her identity.
She reached out and touched the area under her ears. There was almost no mark there, but it was a little bit when she touched it with her hands.
Aji's disguise skills are always inferior to Dark Fourteen's.
"If there are any other differences, please tell me more."
Xia Hanyu's mouth showed an interested smile.
"And... and then there's salt. We found that the salt in Shangjing is particularly cheap. It costs 600 coins a dou in our place, but now it only costs 20 coins in Shangjing."
When they heard it, they were all shocked.
This is something that is so precious among their native-speaking people that even the village chief is reluctant to eat it. In Shangjing, you can buy dozens of it for the price of one dou of salt.
"Then did you buy it?"
"We bought it. When we came out, every household in the village gave us money and asked us to bring back some cheap things. We bought a hundred buckets of them."
I have been seducing people there to eat for a long time.
"We also bought some cotton clothes and crops suitable for winter planting. I heard that there is a crop in Shangjing that can produce several thousand kilograms per mu, but I heard that it is not suitable for us."
He said with eyes full of disappointment, "Princess, it would be great if we could also grow that food called potatoes."
"Don't worry, one day none of you will be worse off than the people in Beijing."
Winter begins early in the Tuyu area, but sowing can begin in March or April after spring, and harvest can be achieved around October.
"We believe in the princess, and we believe that you will be able to lead our Tuyu people to live a good life."
To them, all this is now just to make the people in the village live a better life, and judging from what they said, this group of people is probably their first time out of the village, and they have a firm and simple mind.
