Chapter 186 Gao Xiucheng, who is not short of money, and Li Xiangyun, the party girl
“I read that the detailed rules for allocating fields say that people who have already allocated their fields can continue to participate in reclamation in the new camp and earn work points.

When the new camp is divided into fields in the future, more fields will be allocated, but is it really? "

Hearing this question, Gao Xiucheng said without hesitation: "It is stated in the detailed rules of the land allocation, and it is certainly true.

But don't forget what I just reminded you - if you go to the new camp to reclaim wasteland, you must find someone to work on the land allocated in the Huachu camp. "

"I understand!" The man was very happy after hearing this, "It's not easy to find someone to farm the land!"

Gao Xiucheng smiled and didn't say much about this issue.

It is indeed not difficult to find people to farm as tenants nowadays.

This is because some families can cultivate forty or fifty acres, but only get twenty or thirty acres. They have the ability to plant more fields.

This policy was introduced to encourage people to continue to cultivate wasteland and open up more fields.

Then everyone raised their hands again, and this time Gao Xiucheng chose a woman.

Before coming to North America, Gao Xiucheng would not care about what other women thought, nor would he listen to what they had to say, except for his own mother.

But after a few months in North America, his thoughts have changed.

Most importantly, he heard that Liu Sheng advocated "liberating women" so that women could play more roles in productive labor and social construction.

Liu Sheng once gave a very simple example in the military and political class of Huachu Camp.

Suppose two countries have the same population.

In a country where women never leave the house, they only spin, embroider and do simple housework at home.

Women in another country can also go out to farm, do business, do scientific research, and even do other things within their capabilities.

Then it is clear at a glance which country can produce wealth and which country can recruit more soldiers.

Therefore, it is necessary to liberate women's labor force.

This young and strong woman was influenced by the environment in her hometown and was not shy to speak in front of others.

She also deliberately raised her voice and asked: "This time the land is divided according to family. If I divorce my husband after the land is divided, what will happen to the land?

They can’t all be considered men’s, right?The work points I earn are not much less than those of my family! "

After the woman finished speaking, an acquaintance of the man smiled and said: "Wang Xiuzhen, are you asking this because you are going to break up with your family? If it is, remember to find me, and I will marry you!"

"Hahaha···"

The people around him laughed immediately and didn't take it seriously.

There are also many girls and boys in Huachuying, and there are many cases of married women getting divorced and quickly remarrying.

Wang Xiuzhen sighed after hearing this and said, "With you? You're not as good as my family! It's as if your eyes are on someone else's eldest daughter or daughter-in-law all day long. Sooner or later, you will become a gangster and be arrested as a hard labor!"

"You foul-mouthed bitch..."

The man who teased Wang Xiuzhen became angry and wanted to beat her.

Wang Xiuzhen was not afraid at all.

When Gao Xiucheng saw this, he shouted loudly to stop.

He now has some prestige in Hua Chuying. The most important thing is that everyone is afraid of causing trouble and breaking the law and being arrested as hard labor. Therefore, the situation was quickly controlled by Gao Xiucheng.

At this time, he said: "Sister Wang raised this question well - but when the Household Registration Bureau changes the household stickers for everyone, everyone will find that if the husband and wife divide the fields at the same time, the fields will be recorded in the names of both husband and wife at the same time. Down.

If a couple divorces, records can be kept according to the work points of the household registration bureau and the land can be divided. "

"In other words, I can get divorced with the land I earned?"

"Yes."

"This is a good rule - if that guy from my family dares to bully me again, I will divorce him and let him cry as a bachelor!"

"Hahaha···"

The people around him laughed again after hearing this - obviously, Wang Xiuzhen didn't really want a divorce, she just wanted to know about it for peace of mind and protection.

After everyone had laughed, Gao Xiucheng said: "Who else wants to ask a question? Raise your hand."

Dozens of people raised their hands again...
At noon, Gao Xiucheng went to the small canteen to eat - this was his favorite place after arriving in Weibu.

Although he was not a prisoner before, he still ate in the big canteen like ordinary people.

The food there is naturally good to the vast majority of the people - they all find it delicious as long as they are full.

But for Gao Xiucheng, it was not so good.

Fortunately, he had to work in the fields with the production team most of the time. He was very tired every day, but it didn't affect his appetite.

However, since he became a teacher in an adult school and was allowed to eat in the canteen, he has fallen in love with the canteen.

The food here not only has more variety than the big canteen, but also tastes better.

Of course, meals are not free. They used to require work points, but now they require money.

Gao Xiucheng has no shortage of work points.

Because he had never thought about allocating land in North America before - his family already had thousands of acres of farmland in Gaolaozhuang, and there was no need to allocate land in North America.

So he spent all his work points on eating.As for clothing, since he and his father first exchanged letters, every time his father came in after sending letters from outside, he would bring clothes, snacks, and money with him.

So he is not short of money either.

What's more, he became the director of the county propaganda department and received a monthly salary of eighty taels.

In the early days of Huachu and Hebian, camps were turned into towns, county offices were established, and after silver transactions were allowed, prices were similar to those in the early years of Chongzhen.

Beaten rice flour costs one tael per stone. If it is rice or wheat, it does not cost one tael for one stone. Soybeans and other miscellaneous grains are even cheaper.

It sounds a bit expensive at first, but one stone of rice and noodles weighs 200 kilograms!
A young and strong man only eats three or four kilograms of grain a day, even if he is busy farming.If there is a slack season, two or three kilograms of grain a day will be enough.

As a high official in the county, Gao Xiucheng's monthly salary was enough to support a young man of thirteen or four during the busy farming period. Raising a family of four to six people would not be a hardship, but it would not be a hardship.

What's more, they will receive benefits during holidays and festivals, and bonuses for good performance every month.

In addition, the whole family cannot be supported by one person. At least one or two people can help earn money. Even if the situation is poor, women can still spin and embroider to supplement the family income.

Therefore, this salary is enough for Gao Xiucheng to live a "well-off" life in the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Xiucheng, who was not short of money, had sex with everyone in the canteen and even ordered a bowl of hot drinks.

Gao Xiucheng was enjoying his meal when he saw a person suddenly sitting opposite him.

When he looked up, Gao Xiucheng was almost so shocked that he quickly stood up and bowed, "I've seen the handsome man before!"

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "No need to be formal, sit down and eat."

After that, he started to eat - Liu Sheng had a big appetite, and the food he chose was even richer than Gao Xiucheng's.

Liu Sheng's meals are now prepared by his bodyguards in several portions, and then he saves the portion he wants to eat. The bodyguards eat the remaining portions first to avoid being poisoned - although this possibility is currently very small. , but precautions are still necessary.

Even so, Li Changwen, Liu Dachuan and others have suggested many times that Liu Sheng get a private chef who only serves his meals.

Liu Sheng has already agreed to this matter, but the private kitchen still needs to be built, and the chefs and other personnel also need to be carefully selected.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Liu Sheng asked, "What questions do the people have about this land distribution?"

Gao Xiucheng was a little unaccustomed to talking about business while eating, but he took out a silk scarf to wipe his mouth and answered cautiously.

Liu Sheng nodded after listening and asked, "What do you think about the configuration and responsibilities of various departments in Huachu County, the management and salary of officials, etc."

Gao Xiucheng said: "My subordinates feel that compared to the Ming Dynasty, the responsibilities of our officials are more detailed and clear.

However, this has also resulted in too many county government departments, more officials, and relatively high salaries, which may put some pressure on finances in the future. "

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about finances."

The salaries Liu Sheng paid to officials were relatively high.

Take the county magistrate as an example. Liu Sheng's monthly salary is 30 taels of silver, which is ten times that of a hired official.

It doesn't sound like much, but according to the custom of annual salary during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the annual salary is 360 taels!
The official annual salary of the Ming Dynasty magistrate is only 45 taels.

Dai Qing doubled or tripled the price on this basis. It seemed luxurious, but in fact it was not much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty magistrate - because the price in the early Ming Dynasty and the price in the Qing Dynasty were very different in terms of silver!
Therefore, Yongzheng later established a "Yanglian Yin" - Yanglianyin was equivalent to the imperial court's tacit approval of local officials' share of the local people's silver.

According to the county magistrate, the amount of Yanglian silver is between 400 taels and 2000 taels.

The specific number depends on the location, background and ability of the county magistrate.

In fact, this trick was also copied from the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty, local officials have been tacitly allowed to enrich their own pockets through apportionment. County magistrates have apportioned hundreds or even thousands of taels a year for reasons such as supporting guests and servants, which is within the normal range.

Therefore, Liu Shengding's official salary was probably two or three times higher than the normal salary of officials in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not as much as the official salary of the Qing Dynasty officials.

This is not a matter of Liu Sheng's reluctance, but that the existence of the Yanglianyin is unreasonable - it was not paid for by the Qing court, but obtained by local officials by plundering the people!

The prefect of Qing Dynasty had tens of thousands of taels of "integrity-supporting silver", but people expected it to be "the prefect of Qing Dynasty and one hundred thousand snowflake silver in three years"!
People who are "not greedy" still want to triple or four times the amount on the basis of raising honest silver!
It can be seen that the greed of corrupt officials will not be satisfied with high salary!
The main reason why Liu Sheng paid certain high salaries to the officials of the Ministry of Education was that he hoped that upright and honest officials would enable their families to live a prosperous life, and he did not expect that it would be able to curb corruption much.

If you want to curb corruption, you still have to rely on improving the supervision system and relying on strict penalties!
After lunch, Liu Sheng returned to the villa to prepare for a lunch break, but saw Li Xiangyun leaning on the table next to the door of time and space, like a small vegetable.

Seeing him come in, Li Xiangyun reluctantly stood up from the table and insisted on saluting, "I have met the handsome man."

After finishing the ceremony, she fell onto the table.

Liu Sheng quickly went over to help her up, and then touched her forehead and hands.

"you caught a cold?"

Li Xiangyun had followed Liu Sheng for so long, and knew what a cold meant, so he responded weakly: "Maybe I accidentally caught the cold while taking a bath last night. Commander, please go away quickly, so as not to get over the illness..."

Liu Sheng immediately picked up Li Xiangyun and took her to her bedroom.

Then he got a walkie-talkie and contacted Zou Runniang.

"The fragrant clouds may be infected by the wind and cold. Please bring the doctor from the village over."

Zou Runniang was panicked at first, but when she heard the second half of Liu Sheng's words, she immediately felt much more at ease, so she answered and went to find the doctor.

Liu Sheng went to the underground floor and took out a board of more general cold medicines from the large freezer specially used to store medicines.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
