System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 257 Establishing a female household

After that night, many fish watched helplessly as the gunpowder formulas in the mall were refreshed.

Black dolphins know a lot of fish, and their population is an important resource in any era.

Firearms are too cruel to harvest human lives and should not be seen in this era with a population of only 20 million.

After thinking about it, many fish returned to their busy work.

In order to celebrate the many fish being sealed to Anjun, the entire Bashu County canceled the curfew for seven days. Various merchants offered discounts and promotions during these seven days, triggering a new round of purchases by merchants from various countries.

Bashu County is now famous and has become a wholesale distribution center for goods from various countries.

Businesses in the city took advantage of this stock wind to take off, recruit workers, and expand production.

Now the price of hired labor in Bashu City has soared, from the original 200 yuan to 300 yuan, and then to 500 yuan. Even so, it is still hard to find a job.

"500 yuan, including food and accommodation! Song's Taofang is in urgent need of three workers! No wage arrears, credit guaranteed."

"For 530 yuan, we can recruit ten weavers!" A small workshop offers high wages to recruit people.

The people from Song's Taofang said displeasedly: "Do you understand the rules? Why are you still sabotaging the market? Why are you raising those weavers in your small workshop?"

The owner of the small workshop was so anxious that several blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth: "You are so lenient! I didn't steal your people."

Someone stopped the steward of Song Taofang who was about to come forward to argue: "Don't be impulsive. You probably don't know that there is news from the county governor's office that there will be big moves next year."

When the steward saw that the city patrol was about to come, he immediately borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "For your sake, I'll let it go this time. What big move will he make next year that will make him feel like his butt is on fire?"

"It is said that there are loose immortals who admire Lord Ding'an and specially send divine seeds, which can grow fabrics comparable to wool."

The passers-by also joined in and said, "You are wrong! That divine seed was originally planted in the sky and would grow white clouds. But Lord Ding'an told Sanxian that rather than flying in the clouds, she would rather have no more suffering in the world. The cold hits.”

"Then what?" The steward was fascinated and asked quickly.

"Sanxian was moved by Lord Ding'an's sincerity and taught her a method to weave clouds into cloth. The clothes made are warm and close to the body, much more comfortable than linen!"

The steward sighed: "She is indeed Lord Ding'an. Even Sanxian is impressed by her character."

"To stabilize the country, this title is appropriate!"

Everyone was singing praises, until someone weakly asked: "What does this have to do with the workshop owner?"

Well-informed people clapped their hands and praised: "How about Ding Anjun has a plan! After she obtained the immortal magic, she did not destroy her treasures, but taught it to Mao Xue and the Mo family in the Textile Bureau."

"Oh, Mao Xue is really lucky. After learning the immortal method, future generations will have a way to make a living! This is a secret method that can be passed down for thousands of generations."

"I wonder what the other girls who entered the textile bureau with Mao Xue would think?" A woman lamented. Who would have thought that Mao Xue would have such a great fortune!

"What do you think? I'm so sorry that my intestines are blue. My family leader is one of them. He sighs at home every day."

Well-informed people were full of praise for Mao Xue: "Mao Xue is indeed someone whom Lord Ding'an values. She contacted the large and small textile workshops in Bashu County and established a textile guild to make progress and retreat together!"

"Oh, it smells like a chamber of commerce! This girl, Mao Xue, is so smart! No wonder the workshop owner is in a hurry to recruit people. If he had been slower, all the weavers in the county would have been poached."

He does not mean that.

Not to mention if there are girls in the family, how to support their girls to learn textile technology.

There was another group that had been neglected for a long time. They were brought together and came to the county governor's house to petition Lord Ding'an.

Duo Yu suddenly stood up and accidentally overturned the case, shocking everyone: "Application for establishing a female household?!"

"Yes! We are all male members of the family who died in the war. We are widowed and have no children. We are applying to establish a female household!" The leader is an old woman who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but her bun is not messy, her old clothes are clean and tidy, and her words are full of meaning. He is the lone brave man who can break the cauldron and sink the boat. Han Fei reminded in a low voice: "Sir, this is the scope of Tingwei's responsibilities."

In the Qin State, Tingwei was not only in charge of trials, but more importantly, formulated and improved laws and regulations, and kept and recorded documents and files.

Many fish couldn't help but said to them, "I will send a letter to the king."

The old woman's face showed despair: "What if the king refuses?"

Many fish rubbed their teeth together and said with determination: "Then I will apply to try this strategy in Bashu County!"

The old woman knelt on her knees and bowed her head: "Thank you, Lord Ding'an!"

After they left, many fish explained to Han Fei: "The Qin Dynasty granted land to each household. If the male members of the family died in battle and the widowed mother had no children, the land would be taken back. How can these widowed mothers survive?"

Han Fei said bluntly: "This reason cannot convince the court officials."

Duo Yu thought for a moment: "The Qin Dynasty's journey will never stop at Wei, but there will be casualties in wars. If women do not cultivate the fields and pay taxes, the national treasury will definitely not be able to support it."

Han Fei looked at the many fish steadily and said uncertainly: "You don't want to allocate fields to women, do you?"

Duoyu said frankly: "I have this idea. We are going to destroy Wei. Because there are so many people who have lost their families, the land of Wei is already under-cultivated."

Han Fei poured himself a cup of tea and calmed his frightened heart: "Are you worried that the common people will not be able to pay taxes and sell their fields at a low price, which will eventually lead to the nobles hiding their fields?"

"Well, I put a lot of effort into uprooting the hidden fields in Bashu County. If we look at the world, we will encounter even greater resistance."

Han Fei poured cold water on him and said, "Sir, if you take too big a step, you could easily pull your balls."

Many fish…

"I don't have any eggs."

Han Fei walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

Many fish know their thoughts. They support the establishment of female households. The labor shortage in Fucheng has restricted the development of Bashu.

Establishing female households and encouraging women to work can release labor force to a certain extent and alleviate labor shortages.

But allocating land to women involves land laws.

The fields are the most important thing, the lifeblood from top to bottom. Whoever dares to touch them will face overwhelming pressure!

What Bashu needs now is time for stable development, rather than being exposed to the storm for these things.

Many Fish dug out the tax book of Bashu County from the bookshelf, which was divided into three categories: land tax, oral tax, and miscellaneous tax.

Land tax is based on the initial tax per acre system, which means that taxation is based on the actual occupied land area without distinguishing between public land and private land.

Although many fish have reduced their land tax to three out of ten, the land tax in Bashu County has still increased exponentially in recent years. This is attributed to the increase in cultivated land area and the increase in yield per mu.

According to current trends, land tax will continue to grow.

The second oral tax is the poll tax. This growth is relatively slow because the oral taxes of Badi and Chunan will not be collected until next year.

The third item is Bashu's tax revenue, miscellaneous taxes, including commercial taxes, industrial taxes, mountain tax, salt and iron taxes, and its growth momentum is no worse than land taxes.

At present, Bashu County's financial situation is very healthy. Many fish silently put the document with the land equalization system into the secret compartment...
