Bab 131: Zhou Yonghe

"There's no lack of food in the spring. The crops in the fields are growing well. Even if we increase our harvest by 15%, we won't starve. In the next season, they'll return to their original state. In the past few years, the scenery has been good, and they could afford to increase the rent by 50 copper coins per mu. I heard that not long ago, the rent of every mu in the capital increased to 70 copper coins. The farmland in the Weining Marquis Residence which is neighboring Zhengzhuang has increased to 100 copper coins, and the harvest every season has also increased by 25%."

This time, everyone stopped complaining about the Yu Residence and began to sympathize with the situation in Zhengzhuang.

A farmer's logic was shallow. With comparison, it was easier to be satisfied.
