Go to Baoding...

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He looked at the man in front of him.

This is an ordinary person, not conspicuous.

But now, his eyes were red.

The two women at home had already cried and their eyes were red.

In this small wooden house, there is a spiritual position, and incense is burning in front of the spiritual card, and words like my father can be vaguely seen.

In other words, the man's father has passed away.

There is only one man like him in this family.

This is the pillar of the home, eight out of ten, and there is the only one.

No one likes to leave his hometown, especially to leave his mother and wife at home.

Not to mention, how many inconveniences will be caused by two women here? How can one man bear to leave home?

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He had a great-grandmother and a wife, and he could not imagine how painful he would be when he needed to leave them, and how heartbroken the Zhou and Zhang would be.

I think... if I had not reached the end of my life, I would never have run away from home.

"Baoding?" Emperor Hongzhi's tone was extremely calm: "What are you going to Baoding?"

"Paving the way for people, you have a salary of three taels of silver." The man seemed to dislike being asked more.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at the man: "Is Tongzhou not good? I...I heard... in Tongzhou, poor people will issue silver coupons..."

He looked at Emperor Hongzhi with strange Chinese characters: "Are you a foreigner?"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Xiao Jing couldn't help but say, "Bold, you let it go like this..."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly turned red and blue veins burst out from his forehead, and he was furious.

So he sternly said to Xiao Jing: "Get out!"

Xiao Jing was stunned and immediately did not dare to go out, so he hurriedly stepped back.

Fang Jifan stood aside, looking at Xiao Jing like he was mentally retarded. This Eunuch Xiao was really becoming more and more confused as he got older.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I came from the capital."

"No wonder." The man seemed to see something strange. The person in front of him was very extraordinary.

Fortunately, the man did not doubt anything else. With his knowledge, he would be even less likely to doubt that the king and father of the world stood in front of him.

The man said: "What kind of silver coupon is clearly a harmful coupon."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard the word "harm" and felt guilty on his face.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Originally, in Tongzhou, the young man could still have a bite of food. In the past, he was at the dock to give people foot strength. Although he could barely fill his stomach, the whole family would not starve to death. I heard that Baoding Mansion was a good place, but he was reluctant to let his mother and wife grow it. But since those dog officials issued some vouchers, they could not live this life."

"At first, they collected commercial taxes. The merchants in the canal paid the tax but received no benefits. Some small merchants felt that the transaction could not be maintained, so they stopped and stopped doing it. The remaining ones desperately lowered their wages. In the end, this commercial tax was received by people like villains."

"Thereafter, it was said that the people were not having a good life. Many people were grateful. They all said that the magistrate and the magistrate were really good officials and loved the people as much as their children. But how could they know that the citation was indeed issued, and they also said that with the citation, they could buy firewood, rice, oil and salt. But... all of a sudden, so many people had citations in their hands, the prices in Tongzhou soared in just three or five days. How scary was, do you know? In the past, a citation of rice and thirty copper coins, but in a few days, a citation of rice could not be bought even a citation of silver."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, he couldn't understand: "Why is this?"

The man knows why?

Fang Jifan said, "This is inflation. Your Majesty think about it. There is only so much food, rice, oil and salt on the market for the time being, but suddenly, everyone has silver vouchers in their hands. You can imagine how high the price will be."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to understand but not understand. He seemed to think that he had seen such a theory in the theory of wealth.

Production has not increased, supply has not increased, but there are countless more money on the market.

"But... these vouchers can be exchanged for real money and silver in the future." Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "For ordinary people, they can't wait to exchange for real money and silver. I think it won't take long to see these vouchers snowballed into the hands of a few people."

"Not bad." The man still gritted his teeth: "On the market, prices soared. A pound of rice, and only one tael of silver coupons could be bought. The so-called issuance of silver coupons may not be even half a pound of rice. The wealthy families in the city and the gentry outside the city only use some food, holding a lot of silver coupons in their hands. The people also know that the vouchers can be exchanged for silver in the future, but soon, everyone discovered that not only the vouchers shopping and the prices soared, but also the real money and silver shopping, the prices also rose a lot. Everyone was just hungry and hungry. If they didn't eat food, they would die. Except for those rich families and gentry, who would have the leisure to save the vouchers?"

"As soon as the prices soared, those who had food in their hands were even more stockpiled. They could mix eight taels of sand and incense ash into two taels of grain. Ordinary people's homes, even if they had some family assets in the past, had to take them out in order to survive. Do you think, can you live this life?"

The face of Emperor Hongzhi was already covered with dark clouds.

He clenched his fists and was silent for a long time: "Why no one went to nearby prefectures and counties to buy grain?"

"Not that easy," said the man: "Not to mention, the local gentry is so complicated that it is willing to allow foreign businessmen to mix up. Do ordinary people have to go on a few hundred miles to buy a few more kilograms of rice? Alas... I really can't live anymore... I used to work hard in the dock, but in the past... I could barely support my family without going hungry, but now... I can't support myself."

"People say that only when you arrive in Baoding Prefecture can you have a good life. If you don't go to Baoding Prefecture, you really can't live this life."

Emperor Hongzhi was already trembling with anger.

He suddenly remembered something: "Magistrate Yang Yiqing, I heard that he is a good official who loves the people, how could he allow it..."

The man spat and said disdainfully: "What good official? No matter what official comes, the real one is not the minor officials. What exactly happened under his nose? Who knows? Who can deal with him is not the gentry. These gentry bought a large amount of silver and then exchanged real money from him. What a huge profit is this? How many people have made a fortune? They will naturally praise this for good governance. Those gentry have long been in a relationship with the gentry. These dog officials have not relied on something to govern the place. What the minor officials say, they believe in what they believe. People from all over the country are either rich or deaf or blind..."

The man said: "It's not too early, I'm going to set off. No matter how late, I won't be able to arrive in Baoding Mansion tomorrow..."

Emperor Hongzhi could not imagine that the sky was getting brighter at this time, and he could see the man's face clearly. The man's face was pale and thin.

This Tongzhou is a thoroughfare. Who would have thought that at the foot of this emperor, someone was so hungry and cold that he was so angry.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am just about to go to Tongzhou, so I might as well go with you."

As he said that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to take out some silver, but after thinking about it carefully, here... I am afraid that the use of silver will not be great for the time being. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Jing: "Do you bring dry food? Leave some for their homes."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, but felt his eyes flushed a little red and a cloud of tears were spinning.

Many things are unimaginable.

He thought that Tongzhou might have been better, but it was not as good as the civil and military officials in the court boasted.

But I never thought that... the new policy... became a harsh policy.

When the business tax revenue came, it was a mess in the end.

Xiao Jing hurriedly took some dry food and stayed.

Seeing this, the man was no longer hostile and thanked him very much.

He said goodbye to the women, and then followed Emperor Hongzhi to Baoding.

After leaving Baoding City, I found that on the bumpy road towards Baoding, there were countless ragged people, who were also on the same road.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale.
