inflation

This thing cost him two months of salary. Although the treatment has not been raised yet, the money in his hand has been exchanged for a lot of big money, after all, the price has risen too seriously.

The same situation is happening in all walks of life. How many families’ reserves are about to be exhausted, which will make it worse for the free family that was originally difficult to live.

Prices have risen more than five times, while the salaries of ordinary employees and soldiers have only increased by one or five times.

He had heard some people talk about this, saying that even if the salary increases ten times and twenty times, it is meaningless. In the case of excessive shortage of materials, batches of materials must be collected for the army.

In this situation, the number of people joining the army has also increased exponentially, at least in the army, there is no need to care about food and accommodation.

But if more people join the army, the production will be short of the rear, and the output will not be reached, and the prices will be higher. When the prices are higher, people will eat a lot more, and if they cannot eat, they will join the army. The vicious cycle begins from then on.

The most worrying thing is the problem of food. The Minba people sent them to the front line, and the fields were no one to cultivate. There are still several months left before the next harvest season.

There are more people begging on the street, and most of them are women. Especially when elderly women go out to beg, they are more likely to attract sympathy.

People in grain producing areas have a good life, much better than those who survive on poor soil. According to rumors, some small towns have already experienced terrible famines.

Occasionally, Taihe would give some things to beggars along the street, but often, he had no surplus food, and more often than not, the King's Guard would expel or arrest the beggars, and the sheriff would patrol, specifically drive the beggars to remote places, so as to prevent the nobles from being unhappy.

My eldest cousin had few servants in his house, and he lived by himself. Now there is a lady in the house, so he has recruited several servants.

Taihe looked at this large courtyard and heard that this was not his ancestral home. He just set up a residence in the capital for convenience. In this courtyard, there was only one room with lights on.

When he entered the living room, the servant hung up his clothes for him, and then led him through the spacious corridor on his left. There were several paintings on the corridor, which looked old, but the frames were cleanly framed and wiped from time to time.

When I came outside the restaurant, I could hear the quarrels inside through the door. I couldn’t listen carefully to what I had quarreled.

The servant did not open the door, but just stood by the door and placed his hand on the handle, thinking about whether he should open the door.

Taihe and others were feeling uncomfortable and pushed open the door.

In the restaurant, the saber grabbed a saber and reached out to the window. My cousin begged and panicked.

There was nothing on the dining table, only a bottle of wine and a few wine glasses.

Seeing that someone was coming, the saber was put away and closed the window casually.

The eldest cousin came up excitedly and burst into tears: "Brother, you are finally here."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making you laugh, please sit down, please sit down."

It seemed as if nothing had happened to several people. When the food was served, the eldest cousin poured wine for Taihe, and the zhi was reading the brochure seriously. This behavior was not very polite.

The eldest cousin said enthusiastically: "Brother, your affairs have spread. I think you are doing very well. Soldiers should be trained like this. I think when I first entered the army, the officers would even beat people with whips."

"You've been beaten?"

"That's not, you haven't experienced it, right? It means your military career is not complete. Do you know how your buddy got beaten? They locked me in the command center, and it was so dark."

"Why did they hit you?"

"Why?" The eldest cousin shook his head and smiled, "Why is this? Isn't this something that every soldier has to experience?"

"I haven't experienced it anyway."

"You haven't been bullied by them?"

The thing they talked about was cleaned by that branch, which not only affected their reading of the brochure, but also felt very embarrassing.

So the branch put down the brochure slightly and said kindly: "His Excellency Baymond is implementing a new strategy. Do you know this?"

The eldest cousin was just talking, his face turned red and he hummed with dissatisfaction: "What kind of clever tricks can he have? In the end, it's useless and cannot solve the problem. It's better for my cousin to be the speaker at that time. At least the economy is moving upward. Look at who are the people who are changing now."

This was the first time Taihe observed that branch close up. This woman gave people a bit special feeling, one-third had a noble atmosphere, one-third had a vulgarity, and one-third had a characteristic that made people unable to remember the words when they were talking. But he was a little worried about this woman, because the person who killed Pusen was also surnamed.

He asked, "Who is Mr. Baymont? I know what you mean, he should be a minister, right?"

"It is the newly appointed Finance Minister." Nazhi said as she looked at the brochure, "His Excellency Bemon plans to sign an agreement with the merchants to nationalize all private industries and allocate them uniformly by the state to ensure more jobs to the greatest extent, and a subsidy system will be adopted."

Taihe had a drink. He thought about it and nodded: "Well, this is a good thing for the people and the country, but the merchants will object, right? After all, doing so is equivalent to giving up their own industry."

"But relatively speaking, there is also some guarantee, and I think they will agree."

"What about taxes? Will they reduce accordingly?"

"I don't know." The branch shook his head, "This matter was not mentioned in the brochure."

The eldest cousin pulled Taihe and picked up the wine glass and waved his hand disdainfully: "If you don't talk about this, you don't understand this thing. If you really want to know, I will call my cousin one day and ask him to tell you something. Now, let's talk about something else."

Nazhi looked at her cousin with annoyed eyes: "What are you talking about? Why are you beaten up?"

My eldest cousin didn't refute it, but his face looked a little bad.

The relationship between these two people seemed very subtle. Taihe gave up after a little thought. Anyway, this is someone else's business and he can't control it.

Instead, he became a little interested in the brochure. After drinking a drink with his eldest cousin, he asked, "What is the brochure in your hand?"

"It's a brochure, and someone in the palace specializes in recording the words and deeds of the ministers and then distribute them to the nobles for circulating them."

"That's how it is."

Taihe chuckled and no longer had any interest in the brochure. He specially found a topic: "Today, I'm going to see my sister-in-law."

The eldest cousin was stunned at first, and then asked, "Is your illness better?"

“It’s much better, no big problem.”

"I don't think it's okay. What's this disease worth?"

After hearing this, Nazhi laughed dryly, lowered her head and studied the brochure carefully.

Last year, when she and her eldest cousin got married, they wrote on the brochure that they were made together by nature. A year has passed, and she found that a grandmother's wife said this again on the brochure and was recorded.

Sure enough, in the eyes of these noble ladies, any topic can be talked about for more than a few months.

Taihe followed his words: "My sister-in-law was going to Dale to support us, but she didn't go there. Now she has been demoted and has become a nurse. But I think it's good to be a nurse, at least the army has not blamed her for her brother's affairs."

"It's impossible to be held." The eldest cousin waved his hand repeatedly: "Her dad is now the Minister of Finance. Who dares to move? It won't take long to go, she will still be promoted."

"Wait! Let me look at it. According to your statement, is Bei, the eldest sister-in-law's surname and Beimon, the secretary of finance, the same Bei?"

When Nazhi heard that they were finally going to say something useful, he distracted his attention a little, and listened more to what they were going to say, and wanted to learn about Bella's recent situation.

My eldest cousin served a bowl of soup: "I can't write two beans in one stroke. This is the father and daughter. Your sister-in-law is Baymond's eldest daughter, and she has a sister."

Hearing this, Taihe remembered what Zuo Lan said, and Zuo Lan said that he knew a relative of Pusen and was a little girl. In this way, they all met.

"So that's the case, why didn't he save my captain?"
