Chapter 121: The New Deal

The "King of Chu" fled, the new emperor ascended the throne in the south, and Kaifeng, the "lost" capital, fell into an embarrassing situation.

Just when the hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng Mansion were at a loss, their long-awaited Dashuai Mansion issued a notice.

And as soon as this order came out, it immediately detonated the entire Kaifeng City.

This long notice, which has been polished countless times by Yang Zizai and others, still makes many people look at it in a fog and don't know why. However, they still understood most of the content, and Kaifeng Mansion has changed!

All land was confiscated, re-leased to every household on a capitation basis, all taxes were abolished, and only rent was paid in proportion to the current year's harvest! This alone made the poor people dance with joy and run to tell each other, and the whole city was plunged into a frenzy.

The abolition of the hierarchy of respect and inferiority, the peasants, soldiers and merchants, and the five elements and eight works are all treated equally, which makes those who are in the "lower ninth rate" go crazy in an instant! The establishment of the public workshop and unified management have given new hope to those who have no skills but nowhere to show them.

As for the two articles of "the promotion and appointment and dismissal of officials shall be decided by the people in the jurisdiction" and "men and women will be paid equally for equal work, and all gender discrimination will be abolished", the people's reaction is relatively flat, and most of them do not believe that such a thing will happen. Officials take the court, and the appointment, dismissal, and promotion have nothing to do with them, this is a rule that has been formed for a long time, and as for the inferiority of men and women, it is an immutable tradition. However, the newly established Gongfang was presided over by a beautiful girl named Shen Mingzhu, which made them have to believe that everything was possible.

In contrast to the suspicions of those two articles, with regard to the stipulation that "public schools should be established and all people should be admitted free of charge", a small number of people have entered the temporarily established public colleges with the mentality of giving it a try. When they soon found out that this was true, the college immediately became the most crowded and lively place in the city.

There is also the most important reason, that is, there, they can have the opportunity to get close to and communicate with the core figures of the Great Marshal's Mansion, and even the people of Wan Linggen.

Of course, the busiest person during this time is none other than Wan Linggen. The introduction of the new policy, just to solve doubts and doubts, made him a spinning top that did not touch the ground, not to mention that he had to take time out to teach the people in the public college, and his marshal's mansion became a temporary place to stay.

However, this super busy situation only lasted for more than a month, and Yang Zizai and the temporarily recruited officials began to work familiarly, and he only needed to go to the public college once a day.

After a little leisure, he suddenly found that the person who made the most progress was the little Zhang Cong, who knew many details of those decrees better than himself, which made him happy, so he simply let him practice his hands, and many things were first decided by him to draw up a plan, and then he decided. This came and went, Zhang Cong, who was less than six years old, seemed to have become a veritable hairmaker of the Marshal's Mansion, and Wan Linggen retreated behind the scenes.

For this matter, Yang Zizai is even more happy to see it, his students are promising, and of course he, who is a master, also has a long face, isn't it?

Another person who is a little happy is of course Lin Sanjin, the new policy of "Shi Farmers, Soldiers and Merchants, Treat Everyone Equally" in the Marshal's Mansion is simply tailor-made for him, Lin Sanjin, who has bent over his whole life, can finally straighten his waist, although because of his daughter's relationship, no one dares to let him bow anymore, but it is different after all. However, all this is nothing compared to the title of "Lin Guozhang".

However, Wan Linggen didn't care much about the Miss Lin who became more and more shy, but the Miss Shen, who was getting more and more tempered, really made him a little overwhelmed.

On this day, Wan Linggen had just gotten rid of the entanglement of a group of young people from the public academy, and before he could take a few steps, he collided with Shen Mingzhu, who was walking towards him.

"You don't have long eyes when you walk, don't you?" Shen Mingzhu didn't look at him, and shouted angrily.

As soon as Wan Linggen saw that it was her, his momentum suddenly became three points shorter, and he said with a smile: "My Aunt Shen, who has offended you?" ”

He knew that Shen Mingzhu would eat him, and sure enough, when Shen Mingzhu heard this, his anger suddenly subsided, and he looked left and right and said, "What are you shouting nonsense outside, what do people hear it!" ”

Wan Linggen said cheekily: "As long as you are happy, it will be the same everywhere." ”

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and said angrily: "Where is my silver?" ”

Wan Linggen waved his hand and said, "I explained it yesterday, didn't they pull it out for you?" ”

Shen Mingzhu's Danfeng eyes glared, "It was pulled out for me, but the people from the Finance and Taxation Department said to let me move it myself, 50,000 taels of silver, how can I move it alone?" ”

Wan Linggen was stunned, "Do you have no one under you?" ”

Shen Mingzhu said angrily: "My people are not doing that kind of rough work, they have a lot of things to do." I don't care anyway, you go and talk to them and send me the money to the workshop!" ”

Wan Linggen knew that the current director of the Finance and Taxation Department was Yang Zizai's subordinate, the Lu Fang, who was proficient in civil affairs, and they were busy doing another extremely important thing, that is, the census and economic statistics, there were not enough people, and he was still asking him for someone a few days ago, how could someone help her move the silver? He thought for a while and said, "Mingzhu, can you use your silver a few days later?" ”

Shen Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" Don't want to give it to me? ”

Wan Linggen hurriedly said: "It must be given, but I want to change the way." How troublesome it was to move real money around, and I was thinking about issuing banknotes, which would have been much more convenient at that time. ”

Shen Mingzhu looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" The previous dynasty also issued a token called Jiaozi, haven't you seen it? ”

Wan Linggen frowned and said: "Mingzhu, it is still the Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing to be in front of the future!" ”

Shen Mingzhu pursed his lips, "If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the big deal." Even if you don't say it, who doesn't know that our Kaifeng Mansion is surnamed Wan not Zhao! ”

Wan Linggen didn't want to argue with her on this issue, so he changed the topic and asked, "What is that 'Jiaozi' you are talking about?" ”

Shen Mingzhu said: "It is instead of gold, silver and copper money, but now no one uses the official hand, only the merchants still use it." ”

Wan Linggen hurriedly asked, "Do you have it in your hand, let me take a look." ”

Shen Mingzhu flattened his mouth and said, "I didn't!" But there is one person who does, and you go and ask for him. ”

Wan Linggen asked, "Who is it?" ”

Shen Mingzhu turned his face unhappily and said, "Your father-in-law, Boss Lin, I'm afraid he still has a lot of it in his hands." ”
