Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 991: The Changing Chinese Country

"Salaries, to be honest, are real money. If you have a decent source of money, who wouldn't want to hide it at the bottom of a box?"

"But how can we survive on a daily basis when we only have to eat what the horses chew?"

"Then we have to talk about the welfare of our country, China!"

"Salary is salary, you can take it home and spend it however you like, but benefits vary according to position and job title."

"Among them, rice, flour, grain, oil, alcohol, and snacks are all sold by specialized shops in China."

"Ordinary people can buy it, but officials like us will issue certain tickets to each government office every month."

"With these receipts, you can go directly to the store and buy what you want."

"There are even some magical items here that ordinary people can't buy or that are available in limited quantities."

“This actually gives people wealth and honor!”

"You can use these notes to buy food and drinks for your family, but you can also sell them to merchants who want to hoard special goods for profit."

"To put it bluntly, this welfare benefit is just a different way of giving money!"

Qian Bantou finished his long and proud speech, but what he was greeted with was not surprise and envy from the crowd, but confusion instead.

"how?"

"Don't you think this kind of benefit is not enough?"

"You guys are more knowledgeable than me, an old Jinyiwei who has seen the world?"

The more Qian Bantou spoke, the more unfriendly his tone became.

Don’t think that China is such a small country, which seems like a joke now.

But in fact, with Master Hu and Zhu Yuanzhang above them, they initially regarded it as a "small court".

But as time went by, they discovered that this place was really good for people like them, no matter what else it was.

You don't have to rack your brains or worry about making any money. If you just do your job peacefully every day, it will definitely not be a problem for your family to have food to eat.

That really can ensure that the whole family can have enough food and clothing and still save some money!
This is actually also the method used by Master Hu.

People teach people, but they don’t change after repeated teachings;

Teach people through things, and they will learn it once they are taught!
Food, fruits and vegetables, wine, medicinal materials...

Including these daily necessities for normal families into welfare is a great act of kindness by Mr. Hu to win people's hearts.

Of course, a large amount of ordinary vegetables and grains in the system space were also secretly exchanged for silver.

"Captain Qian, we are not wondering about anything else!"

"We just feel that since we can buy these things with money anyway, why not just give them silver?"

When Team Leader Qian heard someone actually asked such a stupid question, he burst out laughing.

"If the young man from a rich family asked this question, I wouldn't be puzzled or angry, but who are you?"

"It's only been a few days since you started eating dry food? Are you so ignorant of the ways of the world?"

"Is distributing silver the same as distributing supplies?"

"If a monthly subsidy is set, what happens if the prices of food and vegetables go up?"

"Doesn't that mean our subsidies will be reduced?"

"But now the subsidies from our country are real. Rice, flour, grain, oil, and even fruits and vegetables are distributed by kilogram every month."

"If you have a small family, you can eat some and sell some, but if you have a large family, you have to buy some from your colleagues."

"These things are available every month, regardless of season or year!"

"If it was a disaster year and food prices were to soar, this subsidy alone would be life-saving!"

As soon as Qian Bantou said this, many people covered their faces with shame.

I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!
They are just a bunch of mud-legged people struggling in the mud, and now they are asking such stupid questions. They are so ashamed to face people.

At the same time, many people were completely moved after hearing this.

It seems that this country of China is really worth visiting!

Even if he doesn't become a clerk, considering his magnanimity, it would be better to do some business than to suffer in Yingtian City.

Somehow, after people came forward to tell their stories in places like this tavern, the name of the Chinese country really spread more and more widely from Yingtian City.

Then, slowly, more and more people began to grit their teeth and rush to China to find a job to make a living.

You know, these people are not the kind who come here to find some work and then go back after finishing it.

They want to actually settle down there.

From now on, their birth, aging, illness and death will be closely related to the Chinese nation.

This trend was not very obvious at the beginning.

But as more and more people came, a siphon effect was formed.

It reached its peak when the construction of the dock and main road began.

It was also at this time that Master Hu and Zhu Yuanzhang were sitting together and looking at the report in front of them and felt stunned.

"Zhongba, you are doing a great job as Prime Minister!"

"Look at your population growth. It has now surpassed several other counties."

"Originally, the Chinese nation had no more than 500 people, but in just a few months, there are already more than 40,000 people!"

"My goodness, Chongba, I didn't expect you to be such a good emperor and prime minister!"

Mr. Hu was really joking.

The more sincerely he spoke, the more obvious the shame and anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became.

Because these are actually the "refugees" who fled from Yingtian City and its surrounding areas!

Now is the official spring plowing season, but people don't go to farm, but instead come here to work for a living.

There is only one reason, and that is that I can't survive in my hometown.

How could this not make Zhu Yuanzhang, the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ashamed and angry?
You know, his greatest pride at that time was being kind to the people.

But now it seems that it is just like this.

In this most favorable place for the emperor, aren't there people who are forced to leave their homes and move far away?
"We...we...we are too lazy to bother with you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat annoyed and angry.

These words sounded like he was admitting defeat, and he would never say them so easily in the past.

But Master Hu felt relieved.

Yes, yes, that’s right, you have to be tough.

If you didn't try to be tough, I would have thought that you were a fake Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Weiyong, what are you doing recently?"

"You have so many things going on in China, why don't you ask about them?"

"You are not a wise ruler if you do this!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was actually trying to find fault with him about becoming emperor, Master Hu chuckled.

I knew you wouldn't give up easily.

However, Master Hu did not force Zhu Yuanzhang too much.

He felt that this old man was somewhat pitiful!
Bullying him is a bit inhumane! (End of this chapter)
