Small peasant girl

Chapter 381
Hearing what Langzhong Nie said, Liu Guihua had no choice but to give up.

Indeed, when she went to find Langzhong Nie, she had inquired about him before.

In addition, the family really can't get rid of the pot, and they have to get medicine for their own man, so let's go to the town to get the medicine.

Borrowing money to eat again this time, if it can be cured, it will be worth it, if it can't be cured, then he can only resign himself to fate in the future.

Liu and her two daughters sent Su Jinxia and Nie Langzhong to the side of the village and crossed the river before returning.

On the way back, Su Jinxia's expression was not good.

Seeing this, Nie Langzhong smiled, and suddenly said: "Nowadays there is no place without poverty, all the common people are poor."

Suddenly hearing her master say such a sentence, Su Jinxia turned her head to look at him in astonishment.

Seeing this, Nie Langzhong smiled slightly, "In our Jin country, most of the money and land are concentrated in the hands of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is simply impossible for mediocre people like us to buy a piece of land."

"How do you say that?"

Hearing what her master said, Su Jinxia suddenly remembered what Zhao Ziqi had said to her earlier, so she got excited, slowed down the speed of driving, Su Jinxia looked at her master and asked.

"After Emperor Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, he promulgated a decree that no tax will be levied on anyone who becomes an official. So as long as you are admitted as a scholar, you don't have to pay taxes to the court."

"Since then, as long as people with fame and fame hoard land, the land in the hands of the common people has gradually decreased, and the land in the hands of officials has increased. It is not bad in the North, and a scholar's family has a lot of land. In the south, some dignitaries can hold the land of a prefecture in their hands."

Listening to his apprentice's question, Mr. Nie did not hide it, and began to explain this history.

It can become history, which means that this incident has passed for too long, so long that the common people can't remember this incident anymore.

"If this is the case, why doesn't the court care about it?"

Officials don't have to pay taxes, so they will naturally spend more money to buy land, because the people have power in their hands, and the people can't fight, so gradually, the land in their hands is taken away.

But this law has already caused losses to the people, but why the court still does nothing.

"At that time, the court also saw the inadequacy of the law, but it was too late. Almost all the dignitaries in the court held a large amount of land. Once the emperor wanted to abolish this law, he would be met with resistance from all the ministers. This situation has been stalemate for nearly 100 years."

"In order to prevent more and more land in the hands of the powerful, the emperor promulgated a law as soon as he ascended the throne and broke through many obstacles. For every hundred acres of land, the price will increase by ten taels. In addition to the land left by the royal family, the powerful The phenomenon of land enclosure was curbed, and food prices did not rise any further.”

In the previous dynasty, the price of grain was only more than ten yuan a catty, but now it is more than twenty yuan a catty, almost doubled.

If it weren't for the royal family owning the land and the powerful would not dare to go too far, the price of food would have skyrocketed, and the common people would not have had a better life.

"No wonder!"

No wonder Zhao Ziqi didn't let him buy the land back then.

After listening to her master's explanation, Su Jinxia finally came to her senses.

After all, the common people live in such poverty not because they are too backward, but because of being an official.

"So, if you have money in the future, let's put it away. Doing business is better than buying land."

It is no problem for ordinary people to buy a few acres of land and grow it, but don't buy too much, otherwise life will be difficult.
