Chapter 363 (1/2)

The sun has been hanging high in the air, the traffic back to luocang several main streets, the people are gradually more and more, most of the people are working in luocang this time, shoulder with do not know how many times to wipe sweat, how long to use yellow cotton cloth as handkerchief.

After passing the routine inspection with a simple token in his hand, he entered the inner warehouse of grain storage.

Judging from the top of the granary and the number of people entering, there is still a lot of grain left in huiluocang. Although we don't know what kind of grain is left today, it's inexplicable to feel at ease when looking at the guard's appearance of being so heavily guarded and the scene of heavy traffic.

The shop assistant was holding the unique tea of Tang Dynasty. He was about to add onion, ginger and garlic seasoning into it. Li Sujie stopped him immediately, and the tea foam was ignored. If he added those seasonings, he would really be drinking tea soup.

Since being followed by Li Hongxue to taste tea, Li Sujie has been disgusted with the original tea soup. Especially when Li Hong told him that the tea soup tasted like dishwashing water, Li Sujie had secretly tasted the tea soup, smacked his mouth and thought that the taste was almost the same. Therefore, he has long been used to the real tea tasting instead of drinking the tea soup again.

The man looked at the three people strangely. Seeing that they all insisted on, he had to leave unhappily. His heart was full of disdain for them. He was so stupid that he could not drink tea.

Bai Chun naturally is the best choice for tea. Li Hong and Li Sujie looked at the people who entered the inner warehouse and said faintly, ”it seems that there is still a lot of grain here. After last year's famine, they thought there would not be much grain here.”

”These are two different things. They are dumping the old grain and selling it to the people, and then the new grain will continue to be stored. As for some high-quality grain, see, those carts come here to pull the high-quality grain as seeds.”

”Are these seeds sold to the people or distributed to the people free of charge?” Li Hong asked curiously.

Li Sujie has lived a very grounded life in the fief these years. Naturally, he knows more about these grassroots affairs than Li Hong. Hearing Li Hong's words, he stares and says, ”naturally, it's with money. Good seeds are for the noble families. How can people afford it? Those who are better off will choose at most medium-sized seeds, while those who are poor will choose the lowest ones. After the autumn harvest of next year, they will pay back the seeds according to the rent adjustment, including those owed to the officials. ”

”How about the inferior seed harvest?” Li Hong pulled out a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked at two old people sitting down not far from their table. They were adding green onion and ginger to the tea with great relish.

Li Sujie calculated in his mind and said, ”well Basically, after returning the seeds of the official family and keeping up with the rent paid, the surplus food is enough for the family to eat until the end of the new year. A family of five, however. ”

”Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the population of the people of the Tang Dynasty has been on the rise. Now it has returned to the peak of the former Sui Dynasty. I'm afraid there are more than five people in this ordinary family?” Li Hong was a little powerless. Since the Tang Dynasty was so rich, why didn't some policies of that year change?

At that time, it was because of the small population. Because of years of war and chaos, it was good to have five people in each family. In addition, in the early days of the founding of the country, many people went up to the mountains and set grass, so the number of people who could be counted by the government was naturally less. Therefore, according to the system at that time, giving the policy today was a policy beneficial to both the country and the people.

But now it's different. The population base is rising steadily. Every family is increasing its population, and the soldiers are not included in the calculation. Now, naturally, these grains are rented and adjusted, so that the people can't feed themselves in the disaster years.

”Mm-hmm, that's true. But that's what the emperor decided at the beginning. Who dares to veto the decision of the former Emperor?” Li Sujie looked at Li Hong and asked in a meaningful way.

”Don't look at me...”

”Three young masters invited me. I didn't mean to do it on purpose. But this is too close. I've been listening to the three conversations just now. Obviously, I'm not satisfied with the grain decision-making?” An old man on the next table came over, pointed to the distance between the two tables and said with a smile.

Li Hong looked at a black robe, a Futou head and a beard. He was not very tall, but he was elegant and wise, standing next to Li Hong.

”I don't dare to be dissatisfied. Why, does the old gentleman think that the decision made by the late emperor seems out of date now?” Li Hong looked at the middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, indicating that he might as well sit down and have a chat.

”Thank you, young master. How about talking with my friend?” In the Tang Dynasty, in his thirties, he began to call himself an old man.
