As soon as Zhang Xunfu left, the situation really changed rapidly.
The inflow of money and the depreciation of money caused by the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau are nothing in the city. On the contrary, labor is more valuable. In addition, General Yang Wen opened up Annan's stronghold, and food from sea trade came over. Wages have increased, but food prices have not. In addition to the rising prices of entertainment expenses, ordinary urban workers have taken advantage of it. When have you ever eaten rice that was so filling?
But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. In the wider rural areas of Hangzhou Prefecture, farmers are in bad luck.
First of all, the expenses for country gentry to have fun in the city have increased. But these old haters lack channels for making money. If you can't get into the list of the Weaving Bureau, starting your own business is basically a narrow escape. It would be better to sit back and have nothing.
But if you can't defeat those in the city, it doesn't mean you really have to accept your fate. Wouldn't this also increase the land rent of the tenants?
The previous 50%, at the beginning of this year, is about to fall. If it is planted, it needs to be increased to 70% or 80%. Isn’t this just letting farmers work for free?
Forget it is working for free. Now the Hangzhou government realizes the importance of road construction. How can we get rich in business without building roads? You must know that going to Hangzhou City to purchase goods and then reselling them into local counties or rural areas is already the most profitable business that local gentry can think of. To build roads, naturally more corvees were assigned.
According to this trend, there are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, 180 days for the gentry to farm in vain, and 180 days for the government to work in vain. Five days were left to bury his exhausted relatives. Even dogs can't survive this day.
Among them, Lin'an County was the most serious.
Lin'an County was originally the area with the most serious land annexation. Now since Hangzhou City started to carry out new studies. In the east, Hangzhou Prefecture became rich thanks to the Weaving Bureau. The two counties of Chun'an and Jiande in the west that were originally miserable have also become rich.
After all, Lin'an has been a famous city for a century, a place where superior cultural backgrounds converge. This self-esteem makes the gentry here the most impatient. Of course, increasing land rent will also be more severe. After all, it has hundreds of years of civilization, but it can't be compared to the two mud-legged counties of Chun'an and Jiande.
If the land rent is not raised, these tenants will not know what hard work means. How can I just think about being lazy? The gentleman's butler's little leather whip made his hands numb, but he didn't dare to say he was tired and stop. The gentlemen are so ambitious and work so hard. If the tenants below don’t work hard, how can they be worthy of such a wise and wise gentleman?
For tenants or ordinary farmers, another trouble is that things become more expensive because money is not valuable. Both salt and iron pots have doubled in price. This is not so friendly to the people below who have no means of production. Some families don’t want to raise their prices, while some families don’t want to increase their prices. It was really blocked at both ends, and there was nothing we could do if we were blocked.
In the past, no one dared to take action, relying on Zhang Xunfu's record of leading a small army last year and destroying dozens of miles with one shot.
Now that the young army has gone north, Zhang Xunfu has been transferred again. Obviously, the necessary actions have been taken.
With the people in Lin'an who are making trouble nowCompared with the siege of the city, the White Lotus sect's turmoil in the city before was just like playing house.
So, why are female weavers who have not left the government forced to leave their homes and destroy human relations? This means that only those who are willing to believe will believe it.
"What, the Lin'an civil uprising has broken the county government"
Gao Hanwen was also shocked when he saw the emergency report.
"Master Gao, you have to ask me to make the decision." The magistrate of Lin'an County knelt on the ground, not even remotely polite. I was crying while reporting.
"You run fast. Do you know that for the crime of abandoning the soil, I will put you in jail now, and you will not be unjust at all." Gao Hanwen came here on the first day of the new official's appointment. Such a show of force.
It seems that the new official’s three fires have to be lit. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
