Yu Xiaolian finished inquiring about the grain prices and then went to find out the market situation for salt and iron.
Currently, Great Liang's control over iron is very strict, even stricter than that over grain. To what extent?
Strict to the point that all iron tools like iron plow heads and iron hoe heads from farmers must be surrendered.
Simply put, except for iron pots and kitchen knives, everything else must be surrendered unconditionally.
"No compensation?" Yu Xiaolian asked.
The old man sighed heavily, "Compensation? We should be so lucky.
The government officer collecting ironware said that there's a war in the south now, there's a shortage of iron for making weapons, and they said we need to consider the bigger picture and contribute to the country."
"Then with the iron plow heads confiscated, what will you use to plow the fields?"
"What else can we use but wooden plows? We can't leave the fields uncultivated."
