Chapter 351 - Cash-for-Work
Zhao Wan'er heard Zhu Zhirong's comforting words, turned her head and smiled at her reluctantly: "Thank you Sister Rong for your concern, my little sister is fine, but I don't know what is going on at home, and I feel uneasy for a while." ”
"That being the case, it's better for us to hurry back as soon as possible, so that Sister Wan'er can rest easy." Zhu Zhirong said empathetically.
If you want to say that Zhu Zhirong is a female streamer, she can develop Zhu's firm, and she is good at observing words and feelings, and caring for others is inseparable. It is precisely because she is good at thinking about the other party that she will support herself under the blows of her opponent until now, not only has she not collapsed, but she has also gone head-on.
But compared with a few years ago, it is much worse, whether she can be reborn in Nirvana depends on how many surprises this trip to Donghai Mansion can bring her.
Along the way, the closer she got to the direction of the city, the more surprising Zhu Zhirong became, the terrifying typhoon two days ago did not seem to cause great damage to the houses and buildings in Donghai Mansion.
What surprised her even more was that the houses here were all made of brick and stone, so it was no wonder that she didn't see many houses damaged.
In fact, Zhu Zhirong didn't know that it was not that there were not many houses that had been damaged, but that the houses in those shantytowns had already been swept away by the typhoon and could not be seen at all.
"Sister Wan'er, I can't see that your Donghai County is so rich, and all of them are brick and stone houses, which is rare for us to put in Nanping Mansion. You must know that the construction of a brick and stone house is very troublesome and labor-intensive, and many families are reluctant to build it like this. ”
Zhao Wan'er showed a smug smile on her face, the brick and stone house could only be built because of cement, and the cement was invented by her husband Su Ziheng, Zhu Zhirong praised the brick and stone house here, isn't it just saying that her husband is capable in disguise, how can this not make her happy?
"Sister Rong, when you live in Donghai County for a long time, you will find that there are many incredible things here."
Zhu Zhirong smiled and said, "Then sister will wait and see." By the way, Sister Wan'er, my sister has really found a lot of strange things along the way. ”
Seeing the curious look on Zhu Zhirong's face, Zhao Wan'er asked puzzledly: "Sister Rong, if there is anything strange, just ask, as long as the little sister knows, she will definitely know everything." ”
"That's right, my sister found that although the residents of your Donghai County suffered a natural disaster, everyone's face was not sad, but they were all optimistic, why is this? If we were in Nanping Mansion, after being hit by a typhoon, the faces of those people would be like mourning. ”
This is what puzzles Zhu Zhirong the most, everyone is very optimistic, as if they have not been affected by natural disasters at all, and they are busy with their own work. Even the government's disaster relief officers are in good order, and there is no panic or prevarication.
Zhao Wan'er smiled when she heard this: "Naturally, it is because Her Royal Highness the princess is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son." On weekdays, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the old have support, and the young have learning. The people in Donghai County each have their own jobs, and even if this disaster is affected, Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely not sit idly by. As long as the people can be rescued and do not worry about hunger, they naturally do not need to worry. ”
"I see." Zhu Zhirong has some understanding, but she didn't expect that there is really a place in this world that was governed by sages in ancient times described in the book.
The longer she has lived in Nanzhou, although there is no shortage of food and clothing on weekdays, Zhu Zhirong feels that the relationship between people is relatively indifferent, no matter what she does, everyone will first consider the gains and losses in their hearts, and will only do things that are beneficial to them.
In previous years, after Nanping Mansion was damaged by typhoons, she herself also came forward to provide disaster relief, but it was not really to help the people, but to exchange a good reputation for her firm, and what she gave to the people was just a bowl of porridge to ensure that they would not starve to death, not like in Donghai County, which would provide them with a job so that they would not lose hope for the future.
"That's natural, Sister Rong, we have never said disaster relief in Donghai County, if you want to eat enough, you have to work hard, and it is impossible to wait for the government to give porridge in vain. By the way, Ziheng said that this is called cash-for-work. Zhao Wan'er carefully recalled what Su Ziheng said to them at the beginning.
"Cash-for-work? That's a good idea, but where did they get so many jobs? What's more, they work hard, won't they eat a lot when they eat, isn't it a good deal? Zhu Zhirong thought about it for a while and found that it seemed to lose more food.
Zhao Wan'er shook her head and said, "You can't say that, some things can't be too much about the gains and losses." The key is to make it a habit for everyone to get into the habit of relying on their own hands to fight for whatever happens, rather than relying on others for charity. ”
"Ziheng said that relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, and relying on oneself is the most reliable. How can we do not rely on ourselves to strive for our own happiness, but only on others? It may be possible in other places, but it is absolutely not possible in Donghai County. ”
Zhu Zhirong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but praise: "This is reasonable, only I am the most reliable in this world." By the way, who is this Ziheng, I have seen Sister Wan'er talk about you several times? ”
Zhao Wan'er's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Ziheng is my sister's husband, and at the same time, he is also the eldest of the princess's mansion. Later, the younger sister will take her sister to the mansion, and then the elder sister will be able to see him. ”
"Hey, it turned out to be Wan'er's sister's husband, no wonder you have been obsessed with it." Zhu Zhirong covered her mouth and chuckled, "But why do you want to go to the mansion?" Wouldn't it be okay to go directly to my sister's house? ”
"This ......" Zhao Wan'er hesitated for a moment and explained: "Because the princess's mansion has issued an order, all people who come to do business must go to the palace to register, and the princess's mansion will issue a pass order before they can walk freely in Donghai County." Otherwise, if it is found that there is no pass order, it will be regarded as a fine work and will be captured by the Crow Army. ”
What Zhao Waner said is actually just one of the reasons, the most important thing is to prevent tax evasion. In the future, the main source of tax revenue in Tokai Province will be the commercial tax, and other taxes such as poll tax and agricultural tax will be abolished.
Even every year, everyone's working time will be abolished and replaced with personal income tax. Let the people get the maximum amount of rest and recuperation, and will not be affected by the chaos and complexity.
In short, in Donghai Mansion, Su Ziheng wants to make sure that no matter who it is, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can live and work in peace and contentment, and he can support his family even if he is not poor.
