Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 205 I'm Too Lost

Cui Yushu frowned, "Isn't this arousing public outrage?"

Zuo Fu smiled, "Before that, of course, he would reason well first. If he commits the crime again after repeated orders, he must be punished."

"But this person has three urgencies, so it's too unreasonable."

"That's why we need to build public toilets."

Zuo Fu said: "There are still many free places in the city. I will build public toilets these days. To build city walls, build roads, sow seeds, and build schools, my lord, our people are simply not enough! We can't use them all. The farmers are all here to do this, right?"

Cui Yushu's eyes have become mosquito-repellent eyes, "How much money will it cost?"

Zuo Fu smiled, "Although I built this Huimin Supermarket, it also borrowed land from the public house, so half of the income here should be from the public house, and the half can be used to improve people's livelihood."

After a pause, he continued: "We need to employ people to build roads and walls. The more money the people have, the more money they spend. Like today's supermarkets, it also benefits some merchants. These merchants earn more money. We We can also collect more taxes, we can continue to build with more money, and if this cycle continues, Wujin will get better and better."

Cui Yushu pondered these words for a long time before he said: "The sage's first teacher said: three people must have my teacher. I have benefited a lot from listening to my little friend today. I have never been able to figure out such a simple truth. In the past, I always feel that money is very important, and I need money to do everything, but I don't know how to make more money. In addition, money is talked about in this world..."

He smiled and shook his head, "It is said that money is a thing, but without money, the family will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed. Although the Song Dynasty is weak, it was established in 310, and it was overthrown twice, but there was no internal strife. It was all due to external troubles."

Zoff fell silent.After a while, he said: "If you correct too much, it will cause disaster. The sages say that a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. It can be seen that the sage does not object to people's pursuit of wealth, but he just wants to get it in a proper way. The income from business can be regarded as unjust." Wealth? Although merchants are not involved in production, they can sell their goods in two places. Isn’t the physical and mental effort that they put in labor? Nothing can be suppressed too much, nor can it be indulged too much. As officials, we must let everyone People who keep themselves can live the life they want, including merchants."

Cui Yushu nodded, "Don't worry, little friend, this old man is not a pedantic person. I have been an official in the local area all my life, and I know the role of merchants and the role of money."

As he spoke, he sighed again, "I really want to see the Wu Jin that my friend described, I have been looking at your plan for several days, thinking that if we can complete these within two years, then I will have no regrets to retire and return home. "

As he said that, he laughed at himself, "I have been a mediocre official all my life, and with this decoration of merit, I can confidently say to my elders when I return to my hometown."

"Will do."

Zuo Fu nodded vigorously, "There is no resistance now, as long as we have the help of the boss, we will definitely be able to turn Changzhou into a new world!"

Two or three days later, the Changzhou Daily and the yamen bulletin board issued notices: no littering, no defecation, no spitting anywhere.When livestock such as cattle and horses enter the city, they must be loaded with dung bags. If there is no dung bag, they can be bought at the city gate.

As soon as the news came out, the people were in a trance.

what's going on?
Has the magistrate been dropped?

How could there be such an unreasonable regulation?
People have three urgencies!

Jiang Yiming was sitting in the book section of Huimin Supermarket, and in front of him was a long table with today's Changzhou Daily on it.Around him, there are several such people who come to read newspapers and books for free.

Chinese people are good at discovering. When these scholars found that the books in Huimin Supermarket were very cheap, they flocked to them.And some children from poor families will come here to read books every day after they find that they will not be driven away by reading books here.Especially after desks and chairs are placed in this area, they are more sure of their ideas.

So every morning, as long as Huimin Supermarket opens, they will come here to read newspapers and books.At the same time, I will stop by the corner of the book area to buy a cup of soy milk, barley tea or milk, and some snacks.

Everything here is very cheap, a cup of soy milk costs a penny, and barley tea can be refilled for a penny.Milk is a bit more expensive, five renminbi, but compared to the three renminbi price for a bowl of rough tea at a small tea stall outside, it is extremely cheap.

The price of dim sum is about the same as that of the small street vendors outside, but the quality is relatively high. They are all made of white flour and taste good.

Although they are poor, they still need to save face. It is very good to be able to read books for free, but it is not justified if they don't spend more.

So for various reasons, the book section of Huimin Supermarket has become a gathering place for some scholars.Not to mention these children from poor families, even children from rich families will come here.Inviting children from poor families to eat has also become a common occurrence.

Well, the most important thing is to live happily.In this small corner, everyone can not only read a large number of books, but also communicate with each other and discuss current affairs. How can such an opportunity be missed?The Changzhou Daily is published every three days, and this day has become a day for everyone to gather. There is no need to make an appointment in advance, and you will come when the time comes.

And there is no burden to speak.The magistrate has a strong background, those red shrimps dare not come here to run wild, even if they sneak in, they don't have the guts to lick the lord's quills.

Here you can talk freely without worrying about getting in trouble.

This is still the case today.Jiang Yiming is already the leader of this group of people, and he comes almost every day.The book area faces the window, and with glass, the light in the whole room is better than at home.If it is cloudy, there will be a lamp called a solar lamp.

That thing is weird, but it works very well. This kind of lamp is also sold in supermarkets. He has bought one, but he still feels that it is good to come here to study.

Carefully lay out today's newspaper, and then quickly browse through today's newspaper content from top to bottom.

After a while, I finished reading today's newspaper.He looked up and looked around, seeing that everyone was still watching, he picked up the soy milk in hand and drank it.He didn't put down the soy milk until everyone had finished reading it, and asked, "Brothers, what do you think of the three prohibitions mentioned in today's daily newspaper?"

"This person has three urgencies. The magistrate is a little unreasonable, isn't he?"

"The newspaper also said that in the future, garbage must be collected in one place. Starting today, garbage cans will be arranged throughout the city. Everyone must empty the garbage into the bucket, or they will be fined."

"I can understand this. It's not good to throw things around and dump garbage. Although someone cleans it up at night, it is unavoidably dirty and smelly after a long time. This is a good thing and needs to be supported. But this clean clothes (poo ) is a bit unreasonable. Although it is degrading to clean clothes everywhere, this person is always in a hurry."

"Isn't it? What should I do if I get anxious? Especially those old men, they can't hold back when they are old."

"And that dung bag, this, isn't this a disguised form of money-making?"

"How is this called accumulating money in disguise?"

Jiang Yiming said: "The dung bag is only a few cents. If you don't want to spend money, you can make one yourself. Besides, if you deliberately write it in the newspaper, aren't you afraid that someone will use this name to drive up the price and blackmail the people?"

"Human shit needs to be taken care of, and animal shit must be taken care of. Will the county magistrate take too much care?"

Someone whispered: "As the saying goes, you control the sky and the earth, but you can't control people's shit and fart. The county magistrate's hand is too long..."

"Can't you stretch it so that you can read such a good book here for free?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately besieged, "You have to shit and fart and go home!"

"That's right, that's right! What you said is really embarrassing. The magistrate of the county has done things that many men can't do. It's understandable to be a little bit inconsiderate."

"I, I think this is inappropriate!"

The scholar blushed, "Could it be possible to get anxious, does it really make people pull their pants down?"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Jiang Yiming said: "I don't think the magistrate of the county is the kind of person who waits for a slap on the head and comes up with an idea. These days, I see those craftsmen taking measurements in many places in the city. I wonder if they want to build a hut?"

"What?"

Everyone laughed, "The government built a hut? This, this is too bad!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Yiming didn't like to hear these words, and his face turned cold immediately, "Why can't the government build huts for the people? Do you dare to think about the days like this before? How many books are there? How good is the quality? You come here to read books and collect them with you." Have you paid? Not only confiscated, but also set up desks and stationery for us these days, and opened a corner to sell us some food, so that we can spend a day here. There is also a hut in this supermarket, and you have also gone to it , Is that hut good? I think the magistrate of the county wants to build huts for the common people, that's why he came up with this regulation."

He took the newspaper and pointed at it, "Did you see this? It didn't say that it would be enforced immediately, but that it would be enforced in June, so that everyone could publicize it widely. What does this mean? It means that the county magistrate is preparing to build a hut."

Everyone thought it was true, but after thinking about it, they found it impossible.

"This city is not small. If Brother Jiang thinks it is true, wouldn't it be necessary to build many huts? There is no time."

"You can't see those houses outside the city?"

Jiang Yiming shook his head, "They can build a lot of houses in one day. It's rare that they just have to dig the ground and lay pipes. I went there and saw that these craftsmen are very organized. It is also said that these cesspools have been specially treated and will become good fertilizers in the future.”

Some people felt bored for a while, but continued to listen to Jiang Yiming patiently.

Jiang Yiming took another sip of soy milk, looked around at the crowd, and said word by word: "So I'm sure that those craftsmen who are measuring are doing preliminary work, and the purpose is to build huts for the common people! Once the huts are built, who will do the work?" Messy and clean clothes, hehe, I guess I really have to go to work..."
