Ming Dynasty, Hongwu thirty-one years!
Autumn brings tigers in August, while spring brings cold weather in March.
The sun was high and the heat was so breathless.
Sweat had soaked his clothes, revealing Su Yang's thick chest and nine-pack abs.
"Crack!"
The two acres of land had just begun to be gnawed, and the handle of the hoe broke off. Su Yang was stunned on the spot.
"Nima, the dog officer doesn't even let go of the farm tools!" Su Yang was speechless!
As soon as Emperor Hongwu passed away, these dog officials couldn't help it anymore. Taking advantage of the new policy, they actually focused on farm tools!
Even if you want to be greedy, you must have a certain temper. If your greed goes to the eye of a needle, even farm tools, how can the common people survive?
Su Yang cursed angrily in his heart, rubbed his sore back, and sat down in the shade of the tree.
It has been almost three months since I arrived in the Ming Dynasty.
Su Yang was originally a wilderness adventurer in later generations. He failed when crossing the Great Gobi and was penetrated by the Great Gobi. He brought all the wilderness survival equipment to the Ming Dynasty, and there were still a few potatoes that he had no time to eat.
Just wear it, don't expect it to be in the 31st year of Hongwu!
At this point in time, it’s life-threatening!
In May of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the founder of the Ming Dynasty, died suddenly!
His carefully selected successor to the empire, grandson Zhu Yunwen, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the reign name Jianwen!
Emperor Jianwen, the famous "God of War" to reduce vassals, will soon start his great cause of reducing vassals!
The final result was that, after whittling and whittling, an Emperor Yongle was carved out, and Zhu Yunwen's great empire was wiped out!
Fangshan County is under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture and the territory of Yan King Zhu Di.
And the battle of peace and disaster sweeping the world is about to break out!
It's not like Su Yang has never imagined that, like other time-travelers, he can accomplish great things with great vigor!
Either use the knowledge of future generations to make money in business and become a wealthy businessman who can rival the country!
Or you can enter the palace and follow the King of Yan Zhu Di, win the battle of Jingnan, achieve the feat of serving the dragon, and be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!
Or you can study and practice calligraphy to become a knowledgeable scholar, participate in the scientific examination and win the title, and become an official respected by everyone.
…
But after three months of baptism in the Ming Dynasty!
Su Yang finally came to a conclusion - bah, wishful thinking!
Let’s not talk about the mess of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Just these two taxes per year are almost extinguishing the livelihood of most farmers who dig in the soil!
Not to mention, he, Su Yang, is still a gangster!
Without the yellow book of household registration, you can’t even leave Fangshan County!
Are poor people really poor because they are lazy?
Su Yang smiled and didn't want to talk!
What about getting promoted and getting rich? Well, let’s fill our stomachs first!
Touching a few pieces of hard potatoes in his arms, Su Yang swallowed. Damn, my potatoes are almost sprouting!
As soon as autumn is over, winter is coming, and there is no food left at home. How can we survive the winter?
Damn this dog official, he really doesn’t give the people any way to survive!
Hey, hurry up and go home and fix your hoe!
With no time to rest, Su Yang trotted all the way home!
Fangshan County is very small, a small earthen city with a circumference of only five or six miles.
Su Yang's home is in the city, in a secluded house on the corner of Dongshi Street.
After entering the door, I saw a pretty little girl struggling to twist her clothes.
"Xiao Wan, didn't you tell me not to touch the cold water? You are too weak to bear the cold!"
Su Yang walked forward quickly, threw the broken hoe aside, and then took his wife's hand.
The younger daughter-in-law's name is Zhu Wanqiu. It was she who picked up the unconscious Su Yang, which was equivalent to saving Su Yang's life.
Zhu Wanqiu was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was thin but had a delicate and cute appearance. She looked like a beauty at first glance. Unfortunately, she suffered from tuberculosis and her body was very weak.
This house is neither big nor small. It was left by her parents.
Su Yang is her "only" family member.
Seeing Su Yang sweating profusely from anxiety, Xiaowan stretched out her sleeves to wipe his sweat with some distress.
"You work so hard all day long, I can't just sit there all the time and think about washing your clothes."
"You silly girl."
Su Yang tightened her little hand and said, "The government recruits strong men to open up wasteland. As long as the land is cleared out, it will be ours."
"It's autumn now. I have to seize the time to open up a few more pieces of wasteland and borrow some grain seeds to plant next year. Then we will have a source of harvest in the future."
"When the time comes, I'll sell the extra grain and save some money to buy you medicinal materials to recuperate your health. We can't keep putting it off forever."
Hearing this, Zhu Wanqiu's eyes turned slightly red, but she had always been a arrogant person, so she suppressed the tears and just wiped Su Yang's sweat silently.
"I originally thought that I could open up the field today, but who knew that all the farm tools given by the government were of inferior quality? What a bastard!"
After closing the door, some things could be said, and Su Yang couldn't help but complain a few words.
"What's going on?" Zhu Wanqiu didn't quite understand. Why did a good farm tool break?
Su Yang smiled helplessly, "There are policies from above and countermeasures from below."
"Farm tools are not for the emperor, so who cares about their quality?"
"It is obviously a benevolent and benevolent act that benefits the country and the people, but when implemented, it turns into a means of making money for local officials. It is really ironic to the extreme."
While vomiting, Su Yang started cooking.
Zhu Wanqiu looked at Su Yang slightly in surprise when she heard Su Yang's profound words.
How can this cheap husband whom I picked up have such knowledge?
"There are some wild vegetables at home, let's eat porridge tonight!"
"Okay!" Zhu Wanqiu sat on the table with her little hands on her hands. She paused and said with a sad face: "There is almost no food at home. I went out for a walk today and I don't know why the price of food has risen again."
"When food prices rise, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar will also rise!"
"Ms. sir, we won't be able to eat!"
Hearing his wife's words, Su Yang's expression changed suddenly.
He was not worried about not having enough to eat.
With his ability, he wouldn't have fallen to this point.
What Su Yang is worried about now is why the price of food in Haoduanduan is rising?
Fangshan County is part of Beiping Prefecture. Food prices in Beiping are rising. This is not good news!
There have been no natural disasters in Peiping in recent days, and the harvest is good.
But now food prices suddenly rise without any warning.
Except for the possibility of profiteers driving up food prices and hoarding food, they didn't have the guts to do this during the Hongwu period!
The only reasonable explanation left is that someone is deliberately hoarding food in secret!
Looking at the entire Beiping Mansion, there is only one person with this ability!
King Zhu Di of Yan is afraid of making big moves!
