    There is a difference between recruiting workers and doing corvee labor.

    The latter is voluntary labor and a type of tax. The government sends you to work. Do you dare not go?

    But since there is a whip law, there is no so-called corvee in Dingxing County.

    Xiao Jing saw that many people were still confused and didn't quite understand, so he swallowed: "Thirty big coins a day is still paid on a daily basis. Dingxing County is located in Beizhili and has always been a poor county. People,  In the past few years, hundreds of people died of freezing or starvation in a single winter. I also heard that people there only had one set of clothes for each family. If a man went out wearing clothes, the family would have to hide in the house.  At home, cover yourself with rags to keep warm"

    Xiao Jing said: "Therefore, not just thirty coins, but ten coins, these people have to flock to it. At least, it can make their families barely full, right? What's more, it is the slack season for the county  All the strong men there have gone, and they are surrounded by people. No matter how hard it is to build the road, they don't think it's a problem. They are just afraid, and their strength cannot be exchanged for money."

    Emperor Hongzhi was shocked when he heard this.

    He has never heard of a family wearing the same pair of pants.

    "If you meet some rotten scholars, you will be scolded. This is a disgrace to human ethics."

    But at this time, whether it was Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Ao, Ma Wensheng, Wen Tao, Zhang Shengren, etc., they all fell into deathly silence.

    They still can¡¯t imagine how terrible poverty is.

    In the past, this kind of news was not reported. Even if something needed to be reported, it would only be in terms of people being starved.

    But this time it¡¯s different. The factory guard¡¯s work has been very unfavorable recently. Xiao Jing is a little panicked. He has to report something, which shows that the factory guard¡¯s investigation is very rigorous.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face was sallow, but he was not surprised at all.

    Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, Xiao Jing continued: "This slave left the city and prepared to return to the capital. The gate of the city was surrounded by countless ragged people. The slave could not get out, even if the factory guard showed up.  They even pretended to whip them, but they were unmoved. There was a shed set up at the gate of the city, waiting for people to sign up"

    Emperor Hongzhi swayed and his face turned even more yellow.

    He tried to breathe evenly.

    But my breathing is still getting faster and faster.

    Xiao Jing did not notice this, and worshiped at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi in fear: "This thirty yuan a day is not much. But now, the people all over the county are looking forward to starting construction earlier"

    Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Dingxing County, after all, is under the emperor's feet, but is it in such a miserable situation?"

    Xiao Jing said cautiously: "This"

    Fang Jifan stood aside and said with added jealousy: "Your Majesty, I object."

    "What?"

    Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

    Fang Jifan said seriously: "The people in Dingxing County are also very wealthy."

    Emperor Hongzhi thought Fang Jifan was making fun of him and looked angry.

    Fang Jifan said: "A few days ago, my grandson came to repair books. Oh, it was Liu Jin's grandson. He complained to me that the people in Dingxing County were too rich. There were many servants at home, and the house occupied an area of ??100 acres.  , the courtyard wall is higher than the city wall. Not only that, they also enthusiastically invited the grandson of their son to have dinner. Your Majesty, that is a table full of food. With a few guests to accompany you, plus the host¡¯s family, the total  There were only six or seven people, and there were thirty or forty plates of food served. All the dishes in them were extremely precious. The ones that flew in the sky, the ones that swam in the water, just the duck tongue. If you fry one plate, you would need to kill dozens of them.  This duck, the grandson of my son, is invited and entertained every day I can hardly stand the food, he is suffering!"

    ""

    Fang Jifan had a smile on his face and a teasing tone in his voice.

    But the people in front of him all looked ashen.

    This is like taking a knife and stabbing someone in the heart.

    Fang Jifan said: "Not only that, my grandson also heard that the people who invited him to the banquet had many wives and concubines. One of them had twenty-three concubines at home. This concubine must be accompanied by two girls.  A nun is taking care of them, and their rouge is specially bought from Jiangnan. The satin they wear is all Songjiang satin, as thin as light silk."

    ""

    Still silent.

    Emperor Hongzhi swayed, looking miserable.

    Liu Jian and others had a look of fear on their faces. They couldn't even imagine this

    Especially Wang AoheAfter drinking porridge, I saw the man with a dark face, so I couldn't help but ask him if all ordinary people were so dark.  "

    Many people still don¡¯t understand it after all.

    Fang Jifan seemed to understand, but he was not in the mood to listen to Zhu Zaimo's words now. He was thinking about whether His Majesty took Xiang'er's matter to heart and how he should explain it.

    Zhu Zaimo showed a childlike smile, but although this boy's face was childish, there was some wisdom and cunning in his eyes: "That household told me, yes, they want to farm, exposed to the sun and rain.  Lin, there are no common people who are not black and white. Not only are they dark, their hands and feet are also full of callusesSun Chen observed carefully, and sure enough, the nearby householdsare all like this, Sun Chen said  I was thinking, oh, so they are the people of Ming Dynasty. But when we went back, it was raining, so Wang Jinyuan led the carriage and horses to pick us up. Wang Jinyuan was beside me, but he looked at the sky and said, "This day  It rained suddenly, God, don't let us people live a good life."

    Zhu Zaimo smiled and showed a row of baby teeth: "At that time, Sun Chen was confused. How could Wang Jinyuan be a citizen? I called him over and asked him, are you a commoner too? Wang Jinyuan called himself a commoner and said that he had no official position.  Of course, he was a citizen without a job. But Sun Chen saw that he was white and fat, with no calluses on his hands and feet. Only then did Sun Chen understand that the so-called people, the so-called common people, were fundamentally different.  Yes. Sage Confucius used the word 'people' to generalize the people of the world. This is a huge fallacy!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
