Chapter 144 Planting Mushrooms in Winter

Chapter 144 Planting Mushrooms in Winter

But as the cartloads of grain and meat were brought into the city, the common people gradually became anxious!
"Have you heard? A convoy really came in today! I went to see it, and it was full of food! It was all food!"

"I heard people say that those cars in the back are full of meat! Pork! Lamb! There are all kinds of meat! They are all bought by people from Youzhou Palace!"

"Do you think that the people of the Youzhou Palace alone need so many things? The rumors must be true, right?"

"Is it because of us that King Youzhou went out to buy so many things?"

Someone said so.

Some people believe it, but most people still don't.

Even though they have earned some money this year, they have lived under the rule of the family for too long!

Before, it wasn't like he was sealed in Youzhou without a prince.

Didn't the former Yan Wang also win people's hearts after he came in the first place?

But what brought them to Youzhou?
It's war!It is death!It is poverty!
Use it and throw it away!
On the contrary, it is the aristocratic family, although it is high above, but this is also the headquarters of the aristocratic family!It is the ancestral home of the family!
The aristocratic family is the same as them, they are all native people!

It's not like an outsider!
After coming, maybe I will leave after tinkering with some things!
So they will not easily trust outsiders!
The previous ones really made them profitable.

But they also paid the labor!
Buy large quantities of low-priced grain and meat from other counties and sell them?

This is not a gift, and it also loses money. What benefits can King Youzhou get from doing this?
It's better to open a few porridge sheds to give porridge like the King Yan did!
There are people who think whatever they want, but Qin Yang doesn't care about it.

As batches of supplies entered Youzhou, Qin Yang asked people to open shops in the county town and several other cities.

Specialize in selling these affordable items!

But it's not unlimited selling. Those who come to buy need to bring the identity certificate of Youzhou people.

And every time you buy, you must register!
In this way, reselling can be prevented!

Notices one by one were posted.

The common people surrounded the literate people and listened to these people read out the contents of the notice sentence by sentence.

The people are crazy again!

"Quick! Go back and get the silver!"

One by one, people lined up in front of the shop. When the people in front of the line were walking back with bags of meat and rice, with smiles on their faces, those who came later were extremely excited!
But not everyone is so happy!
There are some people who just quit after reading the notice.

"Why are there only civilians? Aren't we from Youzhou?"

A man walks away from the notice, complaining to his companions.

"Why can't we go buy it?"

The companion hesitated and said: "After all, we are only servants of the Cui family now."

Although they usually still have to farm and work, they are no different from people in other villages.

But because the whole village was brought under the name of the Cui family, all the villagers were no longer good citizens, but servants of the family.

In the past, they didn't have to pay taxes to the government!
Because they are not good citizens, and they don't have to serve corvee.

In the past, I thought this was really great. Haven't people in other villages envied them?

But since King Youzhou came to Youzhou, everything has changed!

Whether it's collecting gloves and other things in the shop, or the big bargains like this, it's only related to the good people of Youzhou.

Servants like them don't get any benefits!
However, they belonged to the Cui family only in name, they were regarded as foreign servants raised by the Cui family, and they only had to pay food and taxes to the Cui family, but they didn't even see the Cui family members at all!
The benefits of the past, now it seems that they are nothing!

After all, they also heard just now that King Youzhou is going to cut taxes!

Those who served before went to build city walls and roads. Not only did they have meat for three meals a day, they were full, and everyone returned from the service and got five taels of silver!

That's five taels of silver!

Only worked for a month!

You can save five taels of silver in a month, and everyone will gain weight twice when they go back!
The people in their village saw those neighboring villages showing off at that time, and they were very depressed when they came back!
Why!I'm afraid everyone will be depressed again when we go back this time!
"If only we weren't servants of the Cui family." The man was thinking, and suddenly said this.

His companion immediately covered his mouth in horror, and warned in a low voice: "You are crazy! If this is heard by others, do you still want to die!"

After all, if a good citizen is killed, the family will be in some trouble.

Ke Nu was beaten to death, that was really a trivial matter!
Their whole village is slaves, if they really offend the Cui family, the whole village might be ruined together!

But such a warning not only did not scare the young man, but he regretted it even more.

Yes, as a slave, although you don't have to pay taxes to the government and don't serve in the service, you are not free either!

If people wanted to beat them to death, they killed them.

The two people on this side walked away while talking, and a girl in white clothes next to her turned around with a smile, and quickly disappeared.

"Master, what are you doing?" As soon as Hou Hou returned to the palace, he found that his master was messing with something.

She asked, and looked closer.

He found that what Qin Yang was tinkering with didn't look like bean sprouts, but something else.

"what is this?"

"Mushroom." Qin Yang replied casually.

"You want to grow mushrooms in winter?" Wan Hou asked curiously, "And then teach the common people?"

"Why, do you think it's a pity?" Qin Yang asked casually without raising his head.

"Well, that's not true. What you do has deep meaning. It's like buying something this time and selling it to the people of Youzhou at the original price. Others suspect that you are either trying to buy people's hearts or being too merciful. I can’t see the people suffering. But I know that you have other intentions! And you’re about to succeed!” Wan Hou said with a strange smile.

"Oh? You talk about it."

Qin Yang finally put down the things in his hands this time, took a handkerchief from her, wiped his fingers slowly, and said at the same time.

Wan Hou smiled and said, "You want to use this method to cause civil turmoil in the family, don't you?"

"Why are there so few registered people in Youzhou? Although it is true that the land is vast and sparsely populated, the deeper reason lies in the aristocratic family! The aristocratic family hid a large part of the people, turning these people who were originally good people into their servants."

"You are planning to force the family to spit out this part of the population, aren't you?"

Qin Yang was really surprised when he heard this.

In the past few days, those who learned that he had done this, except Zhang Yunji who was thoughtful and seemed to have realized something, everyone else acted as if he had a Bodhisattva heart. Some people were even really worried that he was too soft-hearted. In the end, he was cheated by the family.

Among the people around him, only this little demon girl was the first to notice his intentions!

Needless to say, this girl is indeed worthy of being a demon girl, and she does have something.
