All sects work

Chapter 112 Vitality
Ordinary people may not be able to see two taels of silver throughout the year, not to mention that Wanfu Tower only opens two taels of silver a month!

A year is twenty-four taels. As long as you work for two years, not only will you not have to worry about a dowry, you can also build a new house for your family!
"Brother, do you think I can succeed?" a woman asked boldly.

When everyone saw that the woman was about thirty years old, taller than some men, they felt that she would definitely be rejected.

The waiter made it very clear that he wanted someone to clean tables and wash dishes, but for some reason, everyone subconsciously felt that he only wanted a girl who was twenty-eight years old and with a neat face.

To everyone's surprise, the waiter took a look at the woman and saw that although she had been patched layer by layer, she was clean after washing. He simply said: "Okay! You can come to the store later and try it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, many women who responded quickly rushed forward: "Hey, little brother, count me in! Count me in!"

The boy selected twelve women who looked fresh and clean, and asked them to go directly to Wanfu Restaurant after receiving the fields.

County government office.

Mr. Liu was very busy, and he did not forget to flatter him: "I just heard that Wanfu Restaurant is recruiting workers at the door, and they can pay you twenty taels of silver a month! You really have a way!"

Shi Xuanying frowned upon hearing this.

Upon seeing this, Master Liu asked in confusion: "Sir, what's the problem?"

Wanfu Restaurant just opens its mouth and hands out two taels of silver. It will definitely cause a sensation and help expand its influence. However, it is afraid that the people will feel that the money is not worth it and let the women of the family come out in public. This will violate her original intention of promulgating this decree. .

However, this thought only passed by for a moment.

She said: "Small problem."

When they see other people eating it well, they won't stop eating it even if they think the meat is too small.

"However, let's go beyond the imperial court and reduce the tax burden privately..." Chief Liu was worried. If he didn't do this well, he would be accused of rebellion.

When Shi Xuanying wanted to do something, she would definitely make preparations in advance. When she heard this, she smiled and asked, "Do you know Qu Guo?"

Master Liu suddenly thought that in order to encourage women to farm, Qu State had indeed implemented a decree to reduce or reduce some of the tax burden on women.

"Qu State will not only reduce taxes on women, but also reduce taxes on cities in warring areas." Shi Xuanying said.

Qu State relies on war to support war, and 70% to 80% of the money and materials for the war are obtained from the defeated countries, and some are from commercial taxes. The agricultural tax burden of Qu State is the lowest among several countries. Because most of the land in Qu State was barren and produced very little, it could not afford heavy taxes.

Chief Liu was dubious, but he was just a low-level official in Xiao Chen State, and the information was not well-informed. It would be difficult to determine the authenticity for a while.

Shi Xuanying was indeed fooling him.

Although Qu State can reduce or reduce the tax burden, it must be approved by the court.

However, under the stimulation of the new order, Linxi County is glowing with new vitality.

Businessmen are the most savvy. Wanfu Restaurant has opened five or six restaurants in Huazhou. It is not a small business. As long as it recruits ten female workers, it can be exempted from 30% of the tax. It saves more than a few hundred taels every year. What's more, they are the first to jump out and respond. The government decree can also sell well in front of the new county magistrate, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

The merchants who were slow to start were beating their chests and feet, because if they didn't say that they were doing big business, by the time they reacted, they had already gone to the Yamen to report, and all the female workers they recruited had already started working!
With the implementation of the decree, the entire Linxi County exploded with unprecedented vitality, and the number of women walking on the street gradually began to increase.

Most people adapt well, but this move will inevitably poke the lungs of a certain group of people.

Many "real men" couldn't wait to jump out and curse, and the most active among them were some scholars who became arrogant after reading a few books. Their "talent" that usually had no place to display was now used for verbal and written criticism.

Not only did Shi Xuanying not ban it, she also set up a huge notice board in the open space at the entrance of the Yamen. She took the articles to comment on them. She did not refute their views, but criticized their writing and writing as useless, and then ordered The Yamen servants read and explained.

It didn’t take long for everyone to know who was a piece of shit and whose article was a piece of shit…

This move directly kicked those normally aloof scholars into the smelly ditch.

Rather than writing articles that are always wordy, Shi Xuanying used extremely simple language to let the people understand a truth - these people can't carry it on their shoulders and can't lift it with their hands. They are also jealous of their quick work and earning money, and want to kick their jobs over. .

In the past, this was the unique right of scholars. Nowadays, it is rare for ordinary people to have a sense of participation, and their desire for expression is unprecedentedly high. If you just go around the streets and alleys, you can hear people discussing the quality of the recent government decrees.

Soon, those merchants were the first to realize the benefits of recruiting women.

They were used to washing and scrubbing at home. From the age of five or six to their thirties or forties, they washed more dishes than they ate. Not only did they do it quickly and well, but they also had work in mind. Whenever I saw something dirty, I wiped it clean without anyone being lazy.

The shopkeeper of Wanfu Restaurant was so pleasantly surprised that he sent a few more people to pick and cut vegetables. They found that it was really useful, so he wrote to the owner to report the matter and suggested that Taoxian County could also try to recruit female workers.

Tao County is also under the jurisdiction of the new county magistrate. If they responded to the decree there early, they might be able to leave a good impression on her.
