Villager of Daming

Chapter 1017: Enlightenment and entering the realm of superstition.

"I finally want to understand! All problems turn into issues of interests in the end. Giving birth to a boy represents benefits. The labor belongs to the family, and someone will provide for it in old age. Girls have to marry off and work for other people's families."

The fifth child, Zhu Rui, looked old-fashioned and was there to position the family in society, but no one paid any attention to him.

"When we go to Peking, we must learn from him. While we have time, help us blow more glass. We also need shelves to hold the glass. Don't wait until there is no place."

Zhu Di wanted to follow suit. The money was not much and he could afford it.

Really having no money, he went to Xiaqiu Village to find a way to increase the population, wait a few years, and eat the population benefits.

I am not very old, and when my new children grow up, I will be in my prime, yes, it is called the prime of life.

Guo Jinglan, who had gone out to arrange things, and other officials came back, but all of them looked worried.

"Does Magistrate Guo have something on his mind?" Zhu Fan asked after seeing everyone's appearance.

"Your Highness, now that His Highness is here, he can only go out but not enter. In addition, he gave birth to a daughter early and the daughter has not left the palace. How can I also give money?"

In winter, other people's wives and daughters will put cream on their faces and clam oil on their hands, but your face will be chapped and their hands will be scratched.

She must be raised well, as the money will be gone when she dies. When she is older, around six or seven years old, the baby girl can still help the family with work.

Others put on new clothes, but my own clothes are old, and I can't hold my head up when seeing others, unless I really don't have money.

The palace maid brought the basin and put it aside. The officials lined up to wash their hands. Some people complained and went to the latrine. They probably planned to eat and drink more tonight.

Four princes and officials: "..."

"Wash your hands. You have to wash your hands when you touch something when you go out. Sit down and drink and chat. Let's talk about it first. When you see people feeling sad, why should you worry again?"

When department stores open, people have to compete with each other. This has not changed since ancient times.

From the previous dynasties to the earlier dynasties, the fiefdom gave money to the prince. How could the prince subsidize the fiefdom? The construction of the Jin Palace has been stopped and the money is used for people's livelihood. Will Your Majesty think that the officials in the fiefdom are not good enough?

Guo Jinglan expressed his worries. He didn't know how much money His Royal Highness King Jin had, and he was afraid it wouldn't be enough.

Zhu Fan had a smile on his face and didn't care at all. The idea came from his mind and the effect was immediate. Mother-in-law only calls her daughter-in-law a good daughter-in-law after giving birth to a baby girl!
Where are the female dolls that still lose money? It is clearly a chicken that can only lay golden eggs. It earns three strings at birth and one string every year.

You can cook a meal, feed the chickens, mow the grass, or take care of your younger siblings. Who didn’t grow up like this?

People think that they will save money as soon as they get it, just like in previous years, but this is actually not possible.

When everyone sat down again, the mayor took the initiative to introduce: "Let's not talk about how much money is at His Highness's disposal. As for the welfare money given out, the people cannot keep it.

Money! Eventually it will become more popular. If it weren't for Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, we would all want Huimin Pharmacy to change it to a fee-based one. If you get sick, you will be forced to ask for money, but you still want to save money?
Then a poll tax was collected, which was the practice in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. If the family's wealth was wiped out, if they dared not pay, the house would be taken over by the official. And add a salt tax..."

As long as you have contact with others and call it social activities, how can you not be affected?

Is it better to be an official? Do you want to be a bigger official? Do you feel any pressure when the county governed by others is richer than yours?

"Chief, don't be ridiculous. Xiaqiu Village is not like that. We know it. Please tell me." Zhu Fang was afraid and swallowed his saliva.

Li Chang smiled: "Currency will depreciate, unless the depreciation part is taken into account when the currency is issued, but it is obviously impossible. Now it is a physical mortgage currency, and later it will become a credit currency.

The money I have saved is getting worse every year, and I can buy fewer and fewer things. Some of you are old, including us, and know that money was worthless during the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and food was the good thing.

Ming Dynasty will control currency depreciation based on productivity, currency circulation and effective utilization.

I'll write it to you guys later and you can learn from it. The bank will come over and it's best to use the prince's fiefdom as a pilot project. "

The princes and the maids, eunuchs, and guards beside them all nodded, yes, that's it.

The officials, including Xie Cheng and others, looked confused and could not understand part of the content.

"Finally, to raise money, who can I spend it with? Of course my children. The treasure banknotes brought out by the team have no collateral and need to be exchanged for part of them.

Of course we can't exchange what we gave, but we have a telegram to contact Nanjing, who will tell us how much extra gold and silver we will get.

If you get it over there, the treasure notes here will be converted into normal currency, so feel free to use it.

Infrastructure is the most important. The root of the economy lies in the exchange of materials. Turning ineffective materials into effective materials is the fundamental function of logistics and trade.

There is simply no way to eat all the wild red bean sprouts in the mountains. If you pick them, you can’t sell them at a high price. Not many people buy them, so you have to rely on people in the county to pay for them.

The mountain red that has rotted into the mountains is an ineffective material. After being processed, transported, and converted into money, it becomes an effective material, or in other words, an effective resource, a valuable resource..."

The village chief said, and the officials listened and understood this time. After mentioning the noun many times, they naturally understood its meaning.

Distribution and effective utilization of local resources, industrial layout and upstream and downstream industrial chains, human resources and labor costs, changing rules of social subject needs...

Zhu Wentian stopped grilling skewers, and the trays on their respective tables were brought over to heat the contents while eating.

The sounds of playing and singing became quieter, and the range of dance movements narrowed. The maids occasionally moved, kicked their legs, waved their sleeves, and danced.

"That's it for today. Just say a few words and change a group of palace maids. This group is tired from wandering around."

After Li Chang spoke for about forty minutes, he wanted to take a break and told the palace maids who were walking around.

Wow~~these maids ran away. The maids who stayed below and listened carefully to the lecture rushed up. The music started, come on!
Everyone continued to eat and drink, and the officials tried hard to put away the messy things in their minds, not to think about the headaches.

Xie Cheng's eyes lit up when he looked at Li Chang, and then dimmed again. This man was not good enough, and he couldn't get his son-in-law to be with him.

"Sister Qiao'er, come on, let's continue eating and reading music. If you want to hear about economic matters, write a letter later. I'm telling you, it's useless to listen to a few words. There are many ways to do it!"

Ling'er pulled the fascinated Xie Qiao'er back to normal. She was busy putting on Chuan'er just now and cut several large pieces of stew made from boiled beef soup.

"Sister Linger, do you know how to do it?" Xie Qiaoer blinked.

"Yes, it's more complicated than what I said. I have to learn it. Otherwise, I would have mastered music notation long ago. I would also have to learn physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, management, education, psychology, history, geography, biology, and materials." , machinery, anatomy, breeding, planting... the more you learn, the more you learn. But it’s very interesting, we all love to learn.”

Ling'er counted on her fingers. When one count was not enough, she closed her fingers again and counted again.

Xie Qiaoer's eyes were full of stars: "That's amazing! You can also cook!"

"Yes! Food is the most important thing for people, eat quickly!" Ling'er handed the two people a bunch of stewed rice.
