Actually, what Lin Yi said was not an exaggeration at all, to put it more accurately, they could only distribute about 23 coins each day.
After all, it has been explained before that, according to the exchange rate between now and the future prices, one coin today is approximately equivalent to fifty cents in the future.
These 23 coins are roughly equivalent to 11.5 yuan in the future.
Earning only 11 yuan for a day's labor, what can this amount of money do? It might just be enough to buy enough food for one person.
Moreover, this applies to craftsmen who possess a skill compared to ordinary citizens.
It is not hard to imagine how dismal the lives of the current citizens are.
Even for those craftsmen with good skills, they only receive one tael of silver per month, which is equivalent to 500 yuan in the future.
500 yuan a month, if it were in the future, even apprentice woodcrafters would probably not take it.
