Chapter 127: Everyday Progress
War is never the main theme, life is. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the people of the Chinese Republic, life is all they have, maybe the war is not too far away from them, and even some refugees who go south, or even families, can hear the cruelty of the war, but it does not affect their lives.
Due to the impact of the war, business must be difficult. Fortunately, this did not cause an economic crisis, but with the migration of more than 5 million mountain people in Nanjun, the goods began to be exported to domestic sales, and the furs brought by those mountain people were also converted into leather or fur fur or something to be sold in the north.
The key is government procurement, and a large amount of new currency has begun to flow into the market, and people have thoroughly accepted this new currency. Even outside each city, there is information about the style of currency, anti-counterfeiting methods and foreign currency exchange ratios, etc., and special personnel are arranged to publicize and explain, so that the people at least do not have to worry about getting counterfeit money.
In one of the largest rice products shops in Lingyang County, business is still thriving, and the owner, Bao Xiang, was originally just a mountain man, but after learning the craft of making rice cakes and rice noodles, he opened a small workshop. In the past five years, he has not only owned a large-scale grain processing factory, but also has five stores specializing in the sale of grain processed products, scattered in Lingyang, Qianxian, Guyan, Taoyuan and Yuqian counties.
"Lao Bao, weigh me fifty catties of rice noodles!" A familiar voice came, startling Bao Xiang, who was immersed in settling accounts.
"Old Pan? So soon to come to the stock? Do you want to be flat or round? Bao Xiang saw his old acquaintance, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Flat! Recently, the people who have helped are those mountain people who have just moved here, and they are too round to clamp! Lao Pan walked in with a smile, he and Bao Xiang are also old acquaintances, and they went to Taoyuan County to sell rice cakes together in 184 AD.
Today, he is also the manager of more than 30 rice noodle chains, with boiled noodles and dry noodles as the main menu, and the signature boiled noodles are game noodles, followed by Taoyuan rice noodles.
Taoyuan rice noodles are the technology he spent a lot of money to buy out from Huimin Supermarket, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is Guilin rice noodles, which is actually the technology provided by Li Yu......
If it weren't for the fact that game noodles have become the ace dish in the store, I'm afraid that Taoyuan rice noodles will become a signature dish, right?
Huimin Supermarket is essentially a supermarket, a very ordinary supermarket, but it has a large number of patent projects. Earlier many people were dismissive of these items, and as the first person to buy got rich, they were coaxed with broken heads. Fortunately, each person can only buy and use one type of patent, otherwise they are afraid that they will be completely bought out by a few people.
This is also Li Yu's consideration, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, only by letting more people make money together can we avoid monopoly and drive more people to get rich. In addition to Lao Pan Fen Shop, of course, there are other such as Lao Li Branch, Lao Zhang Fen Shop or something, everyone has their own patents and characteristics, at least for ten years, and there is no need to worry about someone copying their own patents.
"Why are those mountain people so rich?" Bao Xiang was not surprised when he heard this, a large number of mountain people poured into various towns to live, which led to a lot of food consumption, and even more people came to eat in their snack bars or hotels.
"It is said that there are some small gold and silver mines over there, and a lot of them have been saved over the years. It's not like a five-baht coin that can be taken out casually, and it doesn't cost much, and it won't be shipped into new dollars with the relocation! Lao Pan quietly approached Bao Xiang and explained.
"How do you know?" The gossip soul of Bao Xiang also began to burn.
"It's not because they moved here, and the government arranged the housing and household registration issues, and they could even get a year's rations and resettlement money. The money they brought with them would have been good if they had bought some furniture to decorate the house.
There is no need to worry about being robbed of money here, except for some of the people who deposit their money in the bank, one or two are like nouveau riche, buying and buying, and even buying a bunch of them regardless of whether they use it or not? When you're tired, you go to the store to eat Haisai's, and by the way, don't you tell everything? Lao Pan said with contempt.
These mountain people were accustomed to poverty, and suddenly found that they were actually so rich, except for a few who could keep their senses and deposit all their money in the bank, more of them took out the gold and silver saved by their ancestors for several generations and squandered it.
Fortunately, the gaming industry is a state-owned enterprise in the Republic of China, which is relatively fair and does not allow borrowing money, and the state's crackdown on usury is also very strict, but no one will export all the resettlement houses.
"I really don't understand, since they are so rich, why do they need the government to settle them?" Bao Xiang said indignantly.
In the past two years, the finances have been a little tight, and they have to take out the money to resettle these 'outsiders' who have migrated over.
"You don't understand that, do you?" Lao Pan came to his side, "The foreign population system is like this, whether you have money or not, it will be treated like this." This is the idea that the government does not discriminate against anyone, nor does it treat certain people specially.
It is their business that they have money, but since they have migrated to the Republic of China from other places and become our residents, then the government must show enough goodwill not to make them feel cold.
Anyway, the resettlement house has to be lived in for five years before it can be traded, and it is not allowed to be sublet and resale, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
"Anyway, you have recently specialized in crepe writing, and you have become those propagandists in the Propaganda Department!" Bao Xiang complained when he heard this.
"How do you speak? I'm studious! Lao Tzu is a cultural person who has attended night school! Lao Pan was not happy, pointed to himself proudly, and looked unabashed.
"Who hasn't been to a night school for literacy?" Bao Xiang glanced at him, this level is to be in front of those mountain people.
"Boom...... Literacy night school is also embarrassed to take it out? Lao Pan shook his head, "Lao Tzu, I have enrolled in a real night school, the knowledge of primary school has been learned, and Lao Tzu will go to junior high school classes starting tomorrow!" ”
"I said, why are you so hard to come out for two drinks these months!" Bao Xiang said angrily.
Of course, night schools are different from real schools, and they are no better than literacy classes, that is, they teach some commonly used Chinese and mathematics, and even if they graduate from night schools, they are equivalent to graduating from junior high school, and they barely meet the qualifications for the civil service examination in the republic.
There are always some people who are not satisfied with getting rid of illiteracy and want to become more elegant, such as this kind of accelerated evening school, and even etiquette night school and other training courses have come into being. The founders are not limited to the country, and private individuals can also open this kind of night school, as for whether it is a trick or not, it can only be experienced by the students themselves.
"Anyway, the store is still waiting for me to bring back the rice noodles!" Lao Pan laughed, the guy had already handed him the flat powder, he also said goodbye to Bao Xiang, and then got up and left.
"Wife, do you think I should also study?" After Lao Pan left, Bao Xiang asked his daughter-in-law.
"My husband is only in his thirties, so it's good ......to learn more," Bao Xiang's wife said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, help weigh five catties of flour!" A pleasant voice came, drawing the attention of the people in the store.
There were two women who came in, one of whom was obviously pregnant with a belly, but Bao Xiang didn't dare to slack off when he saw her. As long as she is a person who lives in Taoyuan County, there is no one who does not know her, because of her Führer's wife, Bian Linglong.
Counting up, this should be the Führer's fourth child, which is expected to be born in October this year. The Führer is a good man, because he has the Chinese Republic and the good life of these former mountain people. So for the matter of the Führer, basically everyone likes to inquire and probe.
But then again, those things about the head of a country are also very newsy. And there are really a lot of people who are interested, not only domestic people pay attention, but also foreign people go back to pay attention.
"Welcome, mother, please wait, this is for you!" Of course, the distinguished guest can't be lazy, Bao Xiang is already a small boss, but he still personally became a partner and served the queen, but it was an honor.
In fact, according to the official statement, Bian Linglong should be called the first lady or the wife of the head of state. But everyone is still accustomed to thinking of the Führer as the emperor, and the Führer's wife is, of course, the empress's mother, and I am afraid that I will not be able to change my mouth in the short term.
Originally, as Bian Linglong, of course she didn't need to come out to buy things in person, but since she married Li Yu, she hasn't done anything special over the years, and there is an old woman at home to do housework, or help take care of her when she is confined, cook and cook.
When the people first saw the queen mother come out to buy vegetables in person, they were naturally flattered, and they didn't even dare to collect money. After a long time, I got used to it, and at the same time, I deeply felt that the Huaxia Republic was really different from the previous Han Dynasty. Of course, Bian Linglong must also have a special personal guard around him, and even someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly protects him. In the end, the first lady, how can she be sloppy?
"Sister, I'll just get this flour!" It was the voice from earlier, but it turned out to be from the woman next to Bian Linglong, who also knew the woman, who was said to be the first lady's best friend, called Ren Hongchang.
Ren Hongchang appeared in front of people for the first time, but it was very amazing, many people didn't expect that there was such a beautiful and lovely person in this world. If you want to talk about suitors, there have been a lot of them in the past year, but others don't look down on them, and after a long time, they have been best friends with Bian Linglong, everyone understands, others have taken a fancy to Li Yu, and many people suddenly retreated.
Ren Hongchang and Bian Linglong have a very good relationship, so many people have regarded her as Li Yu's concubine, and the Huaxia Republic did not require a ban on concubines, let alone the head of state related to a country's inheritance. Over the years, Li Yu has only one Bian Linglong, although he already has two sons, but everyone feels that it is still not enough, and only hopes that Ren Hongchang can really marry Li Yu.
"Five pounds of flour, four copper coins!" Bao Xiang handed over the flour.
"Has the price of this flour gone up? Yesterday it was still three copper coins...... "Ren Hongchang is like a housewife, and he actually bargained with Bao Xiang.
"Isn't this because too many mountain people are coming? A lot of food has been consumed, and the price of food has also increased a little. On the contrary, those who engage in farms have made a lot of money, and Lao Guo came over yesterday to show me off! Bao Xiang said with a smile, the 'emperor' of the Chinese Republic is the emperor who has no shelf, and he doesn't even have a shelf with the queen and the concubine.
I wasn't used to it earlier, but after so many years, I've gotten used to it.
"Alas, it's not easy to live like this......" Ren Hongchang actually complained.
"Haha, the Führer's salary is quite a lot every month, and he is still afraid of such a little flour?" There was actually a commotion next to him. attracted many people to echo it, and it was really as if Ren Hongchang had married into the head of state's family. (To be continued.) )
