Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 545 Ideal
In winter, the cold weather makes people hardly want to go out.It's just that this year's winter looks quite different to the citizens of Nanjing.

Since Zuo Fu, who formally took over the position of governor at the end of August, came to power, she has demonstrated her vigorous and resolute means.

The whole city of Nanjing was divided into ten areas by her. After installing the solar street lamps, the whole city became a city that never sleeps. All the recruits were divided into three shifts, one shift lasted four hours, and the whole Nanjing became a large construction site. They are busy day and night.

In the past, the streets that seemed deserted in winter became lively because of the workers' trumpets.

Some small vendors also gathered beside the construction site, selling some chestnuts, roasted sweet potatoes, sewing bags and so on.

Although working here includes all the meals during working hours, this person has made money, so he has to spend it, right?

Buy two pieces of caramel for the children in the family, and a red string for the mother-in-law. If you get hungry halfway, it is not bad to get a roasted sweet potato to eat.

Although civilian husbands have no wages, isn't there still salt?What's more, those technicians, I heard that those who are rated as eighth-level professional titles, their monthly salary is frighteningly high, not to mention 150 taels of monthly salary, and they are also paid with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice and cloth.

Although I don't understand how a craftsman has to take exams, grades, and even be so promising, but in short, these people are right if they have money.

I heard that all the skilled workers from Qiongzhou have money, even those at the lowest level have as much as [-] months' salary, which also includes three meals and various welfare distributions.Not to mention the grades, that is, the little apprentices have two or two months of pocket money, so this group of people has money, so it's right to follow their buttocks to do business!
Didn’t you see those little apprentices and those Japanese children buying a large piece of caramel, and then distributing it to the children of other peasants without paying attention?

Speaking of the fact that there are Japanese people in Zhen Guogong's personal guard, they were shocked at first!Japanese people, they are mortal enemies with Daming, how can Duke Zhen take these people for his own use?

But a few days ago, something happened that made them change their minds.

These Japanese people are probably good Japanese people, because they help the poor clean up those bastards.After two months of working on it, now they only need to shout, "Here comes the bow-legged", and those bastards are guaranteed to disappear immediately in fright, which is more useful than calling the government to come.

These Japanese people are very cruel, they wield a black stick, and when they beat someone, they are really deadly and merciless.They also have a few Koreans under their command, who are more fierce than the Japanese!
That's really beating people to death, scolding while beating, and I don't know what kind of bird language they are speaking, even Japanese people can't stand their ferocious appearance, and the little boss will come out to stop him every time.

Moreover, these Japanese people are still stubborn, and they have not given a single word to Mr. Zuo's education, and they will beat anyone who dares to bribe, to the death.

In other words, you just need to be beaten obediently. If you dare to bribe, you will be beaten even worse, and then you will be arrested and sent to work and do coolies.

No, there are a bunch of offenders working hard on the construction site. In the words of Mr. Zuo, this is reform through labor.

To improve moral cultivation through labor.

Although I don't know what the connection between the two is, but after careful consideration, although I can't explain it clearly, it still makes sense.

These bastards are lazy and just want to get something for nothing. Now through hard work, let them experience the difficulty of life. Maybe it will really get better over time?

and……

Don't be too excited to see these bastards suffer!
In short, the whole city of Nanjing is showing a thriving scene.In other words, Mr. Xiao Zuo is really capable, and he is really good at dealing with people's livelihood.

In the eyes of others, building roads like this is a matter of filling money, but she heard that she can still make money.Because everyone has spare money to spend, and this consumption will improve the business of merchants.

And under the rule of this lord, do you want to rely on business taxes?You give it a try?That Japanese man named Mu Er is not a vegetarian, he smashed up the store for you all night, and then put him in prison to do hard work!

There were a few stubborn ones, relying on someone in the court, they wanted to be tough, but they were arrested by Mu Er and Li Xiang and brought back to Yingtian Mansion Prison overnight. The backstage man came out to speak and was directly kicked out by Mr. Xiao Zuo.

Just a word, when to make up the commercial tax owed over the years, and when to release the person.But that one was naturally dissatisfied, and went to the court, but was scolded by Master Xiao Zuo, and also exposed the old man, and directly made a scene about accepting bribes, and was sent to jail.

In this way, few people really dare to play tricks, and honestly pay the business tax owed, and they will not dare to default on a tax in the future.

This merchant paid taxes honestly, and now that he has earned more money, the government will naturally collect more tax money.And with these tax money, everyone has the money to work and eat again.

They don't understand these truths, they just listen to what some Juren masters say.Who are these masters?They are all Wenqu stars in the sky, and they all admire Master Xiao Zuo so much, which means Master Xiao Zuo is really amazing!

In fact, there is no need for these Juren lords to say, they also felt that in just two months, their lives were much better than before.

Master Xiao Zuo strictly enforced the law, and he was even more cruel to those second-generation ancestors, so there were fewer exploitations and blackmails, and everyone's life was much easier.Not to mention, now that the whole city is being remodeled, even women who are willing to come out to work can have something to eat, and they can eat well, so everyone is quite satisfied with this life, and it becomes easier to work. Work hard.

Yin Zhihui took a stack of account books into Zuo Fu's office, put them in front of Zuo Fu, and said, "My lord, this is the expenses for the past two months, and the accounting office has already done it."

Zuo Fu nodded, "Put it here, I'll see it later."

Yin Zhihui was a little hesitant, after thinking for a while, she plucked up her courage and said, "My lord, I have already read these ledgers, and our expenditures are a bit large...Among all the expenses, the most are spent on civilian husbands, my lord, you The materials that were brought in were actually very cheap.”

After a pause, he continued: "My subordinates went out for a walk, and the peasants who came to apply for the job were also a little panicked. You have to eat rice, white bread, and a meal of meat every day. They say that there are many people in Nanjing, and I am afraid that if you continue to eat like this, you will be killed." I'm poor... The subordinates feel that what they said is not bad, although there is still a lot of money, but if you want to eat this way, I'm afraid..."

She looked at Zuo Fu, "The government has nothing to produce, we can't afford to eat like this. The villagers don't have such high requirements, just ask for enough to eat..."

"Qingyin (Yin Zhihui's small characters), a general in Europa said that the morale of soldiers lies in the stomach, which shows the importance of logistics support to war. Although our civilians are not on the battlefield, this construction site is like a battlefield. If we eat No, how can morale be improved? You must know that our battle is a protracted one, and it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Working on the construction site is very hard and exhausting. If there is no meat, how can people do sports?Moreover, haven't we already appropriated part of the official land to build breeding farms?A batch of chicks have hatched, and they will gradually be able to produce and sell them on their own, instead of going outside to buy them.

When doing such things, there are only three things that cannot be avoided, and you have to remember them.First, the food of civilian husbands cannot be changed; second, materials cannot be saved; third, effort on hands and feet cannot be saved.These three points are all the most important. If one of them goes wrong, it will turn a good thing into a bad thing. "

"Ugh."

Yin Zhihui said: "These subordinates also know a little bit, but they were really taken aback when they saw the ledger today. Our Ying Tianfu is different from other local officials. We can keep very little of the money collected every year. And this time to rectify Nanjing City, it is not clear whether the above will allocate funds..."

"rest assured."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "When the time comes, it will be dialed down naturally."

After a pause, he continued: "After all, it's about my face, so I won't be stingy with this little money. It can't be that Kyoto is worse than Qiongzhou, right?"

"I hope so."

Yin Zhihui sighed for a long time, and said: "There are many people staring at you in the hall, and they are all waiting for you to make a mistake. I am worried that there will be many obstacles when I really need to spend money."

"I'm not afraid of them obstructing me, what I fear is that they don't obstruct me."

Zuo Fu said: "If you don't obstruct it, I don't know what this group of people are going to do. By the way, today is the day when the Royal Daily is published, right? What is this issue about? Can you buy it for me?"

"Almost forgot."

Yin Zhihui opened the shoulder bag that Zuo Fu gave her, and took out a newspaper from it, "I bought it for you."

After a pause, he continued: "It's still foggy, and it's not as good-looking as your newspaper."

Zuo Fu took the newspaper, glanced up and down, and said with a smile: "It's okay if it's not good-looking. A group of old antiques don't know how to keep up with the times, how can they listen to the voice of the people and write what the people want to read?" ? Well, it’s almost time, and our Jinling Evening News can be published.”

Yin Zhihui's eyes lit up immediately, "My lord, can we finally fight back?"

"Hey, don't be so blunt, why are we fighting back? There is no deep hatred, just teaching them how to do things."

After a pause, he said: "I will leave this matter to you and Ren Wenbo. Ren Wenbo and Lin Li followed me together. He has experienced the establishment of Changzhou Daily and Qiongzhou Daily. Don't think he is a scientific talent, but in He has rich experience in how to run a newspaper. You should follow him and study hard. In the future, you will be the editor-in-chief of Jinling."

Yin Zhihui froze there, and said in disbelief: "Master, sir? You, you want to give up the management of Jinling Evening News, let me..."

Zuo Fu smiled and nodded, "I have a lot of clerks here, but there may not be many who are the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. We women have been dependent on men for thousands of years. I became an official, no matter how much merit I made I am always underestimated. But I am not a person who accepts fate, so I want to let them see that as long as we girls are given a chance, we can also do something great!"

Yin Zhihui understood the meaning of Zuofu's words in seconds, she knelt down with tears in her eyes, and bowed respectfully, "My lord's kindness, Zhihui will never forget it until death!"

"Okay, get up!"

Zuofu smiled and picked her up, "The main reason for letting you be the editor-in-chief is because of your character. I still can't remember the way you held your head up in front of the tartars. People who are not afraid of tartars, how can you be afraid of those villains?
What the editor-in-chief of a newspaper office wants is uprightness and impartiality. I will leave this position to you in the future, so I can rest assured!In the past two years, you have experienced more with Ren Wenbo, experienced more, learned more, and when the time is right, you will take care of it.Now, let's go to Wenbo as an assistant first, and then start as a reporter. "

"Yes, Zhihui remembers the teachings of adults, and never forgets it for a moment! You must do your best and keep in mind the mission of the reporter: to be fair, impartial, defy the powerful, stay close to the voice of the people, sympathize with the weak, and cry out for justice."

Zuofu nodded, "Then I will give you a task now, first go to the shanty town to interview those poor households who have moved into their new homes."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "After all, the Royal Daily focuses on the world, while our Jinling Evening News focuses on the people's livelihood in the capital."

"This subordinate will go."

"Take this on."

Zuo Fu took out a recording pen from his cuff, and said, "This is called a recording pen, use it like this..."

After a demonstration, "This will make it easier for you to organize your records. Do you remember everything?"

Yin Zhihui took the recording pen curiously, and after studying it for a while, she couldn't help but said, "Master, is this really what human beings can do? This, this is really amazing! It can actually record human voices!"

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "Science has infinite power, but it is also infinitely mighty. My master's school has only touched the edge. I heard from my master that they have created things that can go to heaven. It's a pity that the world is in turmoil. Master The door has also collapsed, and a lot of information has been lost. That's why I'm going to set up a reverse engineering team to study the items left behind by the door, hoping to give us some inspiration so that we won't be groping in the dark without a direction.

When we have thoroughly explored these and thoroughly understood the technology, we will be able to innovate and take another step towards the end of science.

Qingyin, you don't know how excited I was after hearing my master's description.Science represents productivity. The improvement of productivity can change the world, strengthen the country, and enrich the people. As long as we follow this path and organize our spiritual world with the words of the sages, one day, the land under our feet will glow infinitely. Everyone can eat well and dress warmly.

Every child can live a carefree childhood, everyone can receive an education, and every old person can be cared for even if he has no children. "

"My lord, is this your ambition? This is Datong!"

Yin Zhihui said excitedly: "I heard that when you were in Qiongzhou Prefecture, you have already achieved Datong in the local area. If I am like this in Ming Dynasty..."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "Qiongzhou? Maybe it's good, but it's far from Datong. It's far from the Datong I understand. I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the Datong I want in my life. But no It doesn’t matter, isn’t it that you are still here? If one generation can’t complete it, it will be two generations, if two generations can’t complete it, it will only be three generations... If we continue to move towards this goal from generation to generation, we will always achieve it!”
