Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 30 New Life

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

There are many barren hills outside Jicheng, the border city of Huaguo, some of which are occupied by savage villages, and some are still deserted.

There is a wild mang mountain ten miles outside Jicheng.

Yeman Mountain is not far from Jicheng City, but no one has ever lived there, because tigers often haunt the mountain.

But eight months ago, a group of refugees from Hu State settled here.

In order to live safely, the refugees went into the mountains several times to eliminate wild animals before building their houses.

The savage village is built on the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, there is a wooden house.

The windows of this house are a bit special, there is a layer of screens behind the open wooden windows.

The sky is slightly bright.

The alarm clock sounded "beep beep" in the house.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned over on the latex mattress, reached out and fumbled to turn off the alarm clock.After being dazed for a while, he rubbed his face against the pillow and got up.

The morning on the top of the mountain in autumn is a bit cool.

Lin Xiaoxiao put on her outer robe and came to the window, took a deep breath of fresh air through the screen window, looked down and had a panoramic view of the whole village.

A thin twilight faded the night.

A few sporadic fires can be seen below, that is, the early people started to make breakfast.

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little proud.

Before she came, the villagers had only one meal a day, but with her help, the villagers also had three meals a day.

Because she had a warehouse, she fled from Hu country to Hua country, brought everyone's old things with her, and her life quickly returned to normal.

The only pity is that there is no hot spring here.

Lin Xiaoxiao got up earlier than usual today.She is going to Jicheng to pick up the goods today.

There are five rooms in Lin Xiaoxiao's row of houses: bedroom, reception room, kitchen and dining room, power supply room and warehouse.

Today's breakfast is egg fried rice, goat's milk and an orange.

Fang Meiya and Wu Yong are still Lin Xiaoxiao's bodyguards, and they will be called whenever she goes out.

Gongshu's whole family now lives in Jicheng.

When she first came to Yemang Mountain, Lin Xiaoxiao, relying on the signs on the system map, led the villagers to make bait and set traps, and killed the beasts in the mountain, including a pair of tigers and two tiger cubs.

The corpses of the beast and the pair of tigers were brought into Jicheng for money.

Two young tiger cubs were presented to the nobles in the city.I heard that the two tiger cubs were given to the city lords of other cities by the city lord of Jicheng.

Relying on the money and the relationship with the nobles in the city, the villagers of Wuzhang Village built a new home in Yeman Mountain and became villagers of Yeman Mountain.

And Gongshugou once again used wooden bicycles as a selling point, opened a woodware shop in Jicheng, made enough money to pay "taxes" and became a citizen of Huaguo.

After coming to the country of Hua, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that the government orders of the country of Hua and the country of Hu are very different.

It is said that the Duke of Hua now loves money very much, and he especially likes to make money.The policies of governing the country introduced by him after he took office are all related to making money.

In Hua Nation, regardless of one's origin, as long as one has money, one can buy Chinese identity.

Savages can enter and leave the city at will as long as they pay the city tax.

The territory of Hua State is larger than that of Hu State, and its natural resources are also richer. The savage villages living outside the city are also richer than Hu State.

This also depends on the country's relatively stable national conditions.

There is no war, no excessive oppression, as long as the harsh natural conditions are overcome, the savages can live a decent life.

Because Yemang Mountain is very close to Jicheng, Lin Xiaoxiao dare not drive for fear of being seen by people on the road.Therefore, she mainly uses wooden bicycles as her means of transportation here.

In less than half an hour, the three of Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at Jicheng.

At this time, the city gate had just opened, and people entering the city were queuing up.

The three of Lin Xiaoxiao pushed their bicycles and lined up in the queue.People around cast envious eyes.

Wooden bicycles are not uncommon in Jeseong.

In order to make money and pay taxes, Gongshu Gou, under Lin Xiaoxiao's suggestion, wanted to recruit apprentices to teach him how to make bicycles, and at the same time set up a franchise store.

The so-called franchise store is another way Lin Xiaoxiao came up with to collect patent fees.

Gongshugou's apprentices can open their own shop to sell bicycles after they finish their studies, but every time they sell a bicycle, they need to give half of the profit to Gongshugou as a franchise fee for the sale.

People in this era attach great importance to succession, and business people also attach great importance to reputation, so the franchise store of Gongshu Gou has been recognized.

The franchise store model also ensures that there will be no malicious competition.

After all, in the era of pure handwork, it takes a long time to make a bicycle, and the market demand is huge, so franchise stores don't need to compete with each other for business.

At the same time, the franchise store model can also spread wooden bicycles in a large area, so that more people can know and use bicycles.

After more than half a year, wooden bicycles are popular inside and outside Jicheng.Anyone with a little money wants to own a wooden bicycle.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the three of them had two bamboo baskets tied to the back seat of their car, which were filled with chutney.

Changchu is kiwi fruit.

There is a Changchu forest in Yemang Mountain, which is pure wild and tastes best in August.The villagers of Yemang Mountain will bring some to sell every time they go to the city.

Chang Chu Juice is Lin Xiaoxiao's favorite drink this summer.She has a huge stockpile in the warehouse.

The city entry tax in Jicheng was collected on a head-by-head basis, and Chinese people also had to pay the city tax when they entered and exited the city.Four cloth coins for savages, two cloth coins for Chinese.

Although Chinese people pay less, their home is in the city, and they cannot return home without paying city tax.

By the way, there is no distribution center outside Jicheng City, and the buying and selling of goods must be carried out in Difang City inside the city.This regulation has actually increased the city's entry tax revenue.

Due to the high taxes of the people of Hu Guoguo, all the people in the city are rich.Those who have no money will be expelled from the city because they cannot pay the annual tax.

Corresponding to the high tax is the favorable environment in the city.

The roads in Jicheng are paved with bluestone slabs.

In addition to residential and commercial buildings in the city, leisure lakes and pavilions are also specially built.

The soldiers in the city patrolled around the clock, and the security was impeccable.

The housekeeper also appointed an inspection team in the city to supervise the operation of the city's squares and cities, and put an end to all evil incidents that affect everyone's business.

When Lin Xiaoxiao learned about these things for the first time, she immediately gave her a thumbs up.

Hu Guogong and his city lords are all talents.

Although their original intention is to make better and more money, the residents in the city can really live and work in peace and contentment.The only downside is that the pressure to make money is a bit high.

The three of Lin Xiaoxiao came to Fangshi and paid twenty cloth coins as a booth fee.

They brought six baskets of pain.Changchu is very popular this season.

In less than one morning, most of Chang Chu was sold, and a total of more than 70 cloth coins were sold.

"Where are you two going to go shopping?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked Fang Meiya and Wu Yong.

Wu Yong said: "I'm going to the blacksmith's shop. I ordered a few kitchen knives last time, and this time I just took them together."

Fang Meiya said: "I want to go to the cloth shop, the weather is getting colder, I want to buy some thick cloth to make new clothes."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I'll go to the cloth shop with you, and I just picked up the wool I ordered last time. Let's meet at the Gongshujia woodware shop at noon."
