Black Widow became the richest man by farming

Chapter 585 Money! (one more)
"That's right, dynasties have changed, but the aristocratic families are growing quietly. Small boats can turn around and hide." Ye Sanniang looked at them with bottomless eyes and said, "During this process, countless farmers, self-employed farmers Unable to bear the risk and collapsed, the wealth quickly gathered towards the big family. It is inevitable to elect the co-lord of the world here." Then he said, "In the long years, the family that can survive natural disasters and troubled times , no one is weak. And they are not strong enough to eat each other, so they marry each other, you have me, and I have you. In this way, the Li-Tang Dynasty was born."

"The Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are all like this." Mrs. Lu said deeply.

"To put it bluntly, the Yang, Sui, Li and Tang royal families are actually a family, a royal game between cousins." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with clear eyes.

"During the Tang Dynasty, there was a very close relationship with the former Sui Dynasty, from the royal family to the honorable princes. The Li Tang royal family and the Sui Dynasty royal family were even more real relatives." Ye Yanxing heard the words fiercely. nodded.

"The old saying is good: cousins, uncles, and aunts have no broken relatives. Li Yuan and Emperor Sui Yang are just cousins. Once they turn against each other, they will be merciless." Mrs. Lu snorted and said, "relatives belong to relatives. You don't kiss anything in front of the throne of Jiangshan."

"The Li and Tang dynasty was established by a family, so it is the most open and inclusive." Ye Sanniang looked at them with raised eyebrows and said, "So the Li family went straight to Chang'an, and changed the dynasty. He didn't rely entirely on his own ability. Let's beat it down." After thinking for a while, "Since being jointly promoted by the aristocratic family and becoming the co-lord of the world, who should the Li family turn to? The position is determined by the buttocks. The Li family relies heavily on these aristocratic families."

"It's no wonder that the imperial examinations started in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but they developed very slowly." Master Lu said with black eyes flashing lightly, "There is too much resistance."

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, let those military generals kill the family without leaving a single piece of armor." Ye Yanxing frowned tightly, "But the generals have no martial ethics and killed innocent people indiscriminately. According to historical records, there were massacres in this period, and cannibalism abounded. Yes, without moral restraint, this world is like a purgatory."

"It's not unreasonable for the Song Dynasty to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts." Ye Luoxing echoed the words.

"But there are no generals to guard the frontier, protect the country, the Song Dynasty did not rule the world." Mrs. Lu curled her lips, she looked down on Song Chaodao, "The rich Song Dynasty can't stop other people's iron cavalry, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. "

Ye Sanniang nodded repeatedly and said, "The economy of the Song Dynasty was the most active and the wealthiest. The Song Dynasty saw how the Li and Tang Dynasties rose and fell, so after adding the yellow robes, they had a cup of wine to release their military power. If you lose your military power, let’s disarm and return to the fields! In fact, the clan still exists, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms killed so hard, but a new clan has arisen again.”

Mr. Lu has experienced this personally. Nine out of ten wealthy gentry in this city were killed because of the cotton incident, but after these few years, new wealthy households have emerged.

"The entire Song Dynasty was struggling with money. I remember when the Baby Tower was in the Song Dynasty, why it was common for the Song Dynasty to abandon children. It was because the head tax was so comfortable." Ye Sanniang looked at them coldly and said, "Why did Wang Anshi reform? Check the various policies he introduced, the core is for money. To put it bluntly, the court has no money, and it will not work if it remains unchanged. And the reform will definitely touch the interests of other aristocratic families, so the opponents Sima Guang and others quit. "

"Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents." Master Lu immediately said, "Of course I won't do it."

"Where does the money come from? Either from the aristocratic family, or from the skin of the common people. But the aristocratic family are all officials, can the knife be cut on themselves?" Ye Sanniang snorted coldly.

"Then Wang Anshi himself was born into a powerful family!" Ye Luoxing said suddenly.

"That's right! The entire Song Dynasty was a battle between those who wanted reform and those who didn't." Ye Sanniang looked at them with deep eyes and said, "And the Song Dynasty was often beaten by the north. Every time you come here, you have to pay for it." A lot of money, who will pay for it?"

"The imperial court has no money, and the family has money, but getting them to pay is harder than killing his father." Ye Luo said bluntly, "Then it will fall on the common people in the end, and they will forcefully increase taxes."

"Yeah!" Ye Sanniang nodded lightly, with a smile on her lips, "Wang Anshi advocates political reform, and Su Dongpo is his political enemy, but both of them want to change the Song Dynasty. So although they are facing each other, they are still fighting each other." Respect. So when Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo met again in their later years, both of them were demoted. At this time, the ups and downs of the officialdom, but sympathy for each other, Wang Anshi advised Su Dongpo to buy land and repair houses near his home, so that they can retire together. Su Dongpo wrote a poem, ' Riding a donkey vaguely into the wasteland, I want to see my husband when he is not sick. I am persuaded to try to find a three-acre house. It is already too late since I have been a public for ten years. Both of them are now in their twilight years, and they have nothing to do with the problems that the emperor can't solve. "

"Then how to avoid it!" Lord Lu said, looking at her with burning eyes.

"Who knows this, Qin Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, how many acres of land per capita?" Ye Sanniang said, looking at them.

"Mother wants to talk about the yield per mu, we know, about two to three hundred catties." Ye Luoxing said with a chuckle, "Have you ever calculated how many mu of land per capita?"

"We haven't noticed?" Mrs. Lu shook her head slightly when she heard the words.

"The land in the north is about [-] acres, and the population has dropped sharply due to wars and plagues." Master Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said, "Widows remarry, and marriageable boys and girls have to get married quickly, because there are few people. "

"In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was about ten acres, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was about twelve acres." Ye Sanniang looked at them with black eyes and said, "An adult needs about [-] to [-] catties of staple food a year." She pursed her lips and looked. They looked at them and said, "That is to say, if you want to have enough food, you must have about four acres of land per capita. Then you have to pay taxes, so the four acres of land per capita is already beyond your means. This is the warning line. Once it falls below, there will be natural disasters. There will be big problems."

"It's even worse for tenant farmers. They will starve to death. Landlords with a conscience are fine, but under normal circumstances, the land rent is half." Ye Sanniang looked at them coldly and cruelly. Said, "This is the case of letting nature take its course. You can calculate that after many years, the per capita field mu will drop to less than four mu." Then he said, "How many years will it take for the population to break through [-] million? Ten years."

"Hiss..." Mr. Lu and his wife gasped, staring at Ye Sanniang almost out of the window.

"Yes... yes... it's a bit exaggerated!" Mr. Lu swallowed his saliva and said while looking at her.
