With the proposal of the cabinet, Wang Guorui gave instructions, and after the review of the parliament, all kinds of things about the New Year's celebration began almost a month in advance. This is the first New Year since Wang Guorui ascended the throne, especially everyone has to prepare for New Year's activities. However, this Wang Guorui did not hide the expenditure of this celebration, the central level alone has budgeted about 12 million yuan, and this is still the cost of the central level, if the local festival and various celebrations are spent, it will make many people tremble. Such a large amount of money, perhaps ordinary people could not have predicted anything for a while. After all, the income of ordinary people is only a few dollars per month, although they feel a lot, but this "much" can not really be experienced.

It's like many urban online novels in later generations, which often cost tens of billions, hundreds of billions or even trillions, which sounds like a huge number. But without personal experience to make money, without really experiencing large expenses, even ordinary people can't appreciate what such a large number means. The numbers are so large that ordinary people don't even know what they mean. But those who have experience in governing and some who have really mastered money are also frightened.

"O faint king! I don't think this Yanhuang Empire is any better than the previous dynasty, I don't know how to save in the first year, but here it is a big deal, a lot of construction, it's really a ruined country! Someone shouted in pain here.

And most of these guys are those who have had some culture in the past, but they have all used kung fu to those so-called Confucian classics. It's for people who can be officials. One by one, after the old form of the imperial examination system was abolished, they either went to take the so-called political rights examination, and many of them could not pass it. But none of the Confucian classics they had studied in the past would have been able to earn a living. Their land is becoming less and less valuable. The surplus labor force in the rural areas has also begun to join the major factories in the cities, and their labor force in the rural areas is becoming less and less.

Human resources are actually a kind of resource, and if there is less labor in the countryside, those landlords will have to pay more to retain people. However, as those so-called meritorious people were unable to have the privilege of tax exemption, on the one hand, the cost of employment increased, and on the other hand, the tax revenue of the imperial court was reduced again. In addition, the more land owners have, the more taxes they have to pay, which makes them even more stressful. Those landlords who were originally famous. One by one, incomes plummeted. Even Ah alone can't sustain the luxurious life of the past with these land rents.

He who could have hired servants and maids now had to be dismissed in large numbers, and their income could no longer sustain so many non-working people to serve him. Because they used to exploit tenants on land. But now that the tenants' asking prices are getting higher and higher, they don't dare to mess around. If they dare to be violent, then the police and the army of the imperial court are not blowing. Especially with the change of the current new police system, too many of the bad deeds of those grassroots arrests in the past have been removed from public office. There are even those who have to be held legally responsible. Those who have no bad deeds. They all chose to retain. And they are now cherishing their current positions very much, because at present, New China adopts a system of integrating officials, unless they are elected at the highest level, and other middle and low-level officials are also integrated officials, even clerks may have a future. In the past, those catchers had no prospect of promotion, and they would naturally become landlords' thugs for money. But now for the sake of their own future, they naturally cherish it very much and will not mess around.

And those landlords don't talk about whether they can afford to support those nursing homes. Even if you can afford it, what can you do? Do they dare to beat the people? When the time comes, the army can come and suppress it, and they will lose more than they gain. Therefore, nursing homes have also lost their value. Because they can't afford to raise a nursing home.

The quality of life has dropped significantly, making them very dissatisfied with Wang Guorui. These guys don't have the ability to say that they learn from those idlers all day long in teahouses or restaurants, but in fact they all rely on selling the land left by their ancestors to maintain their current lives. After all, relying on local owners, this economic model has become narrower and narrower, and it is simply impossible to continue to sustain it for a long time. There are two main options for this kind of land, one is nothing more than to quickly transform, and then seize the opportunity to make a final transformation while you are not about to collapse, and then transform your class and survive again.

It's a pity that these landlords originally studied the Four Books and Five Classics in order to take the imperial examination, and they had no other skills at all. Let them go into business, this is really a joke, they originally looked down on businessmen very much, how could they go to study? So now they're completely finished, they used to spend their lives studying these useless Four Books and Five Classics, and then their personal livelihood skills are completely almost zero. They are completely counting on the fact that after they can pass the imperial examination, a large number of people will make so-called "contributions" and give their land to some meritorious people, and then they can openly exploit the common people to survive.

But now that this path is not working, they suddenly find that they don't seem to have any livelihood skills at all! Although they have not had their land confiscated, the tenants are asking for higher and higher prices, and industry has begun to absorb a large number of agricultural surpluses, so that they cannot obtain human resources at the lowest price, but have to face the double pressure of labor costs and state taxes, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult.

Because many landlords have lived in the countryside for a long time, their vision is not high, and they cannot see the overall situation clearly. And none of them have learned to do business or make a living, which is the reason why they are completely unlucky. If the only opportunity for transformation cannot be grasped this time, then their class can only completely sink into the dust of history.

But these guys don't have much power to transform themselves, and their lives are getting harder and harder. In the end, I can only sit and eat nothing, and then watch the land handed down by my ancestors in my family and be sold, and then the funds in exchange for this are getting less and less. Nowadays, many people have started to sell their land, especially those who are landlords. Forced to sell their land to maintain their luxurious life due to high taxes and higher labor costs, it is difficult for them to give up this luxurious life.

So now they are calling the heavens and the earth to be spiritual, so now they are scolding Wang Guorui. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Guorui didn't engage in any literary prison now, just because of their charges in the past, no matter which feudal dynasty it was, it would be enough to be beaten at the least, and the nine clans would be punished with their heads at the worst!

They scolded directly, and Wang Guorui wouldn't arrest them anyway. It doesn't matter if they scold on the street, anyway, Wang Guorui can't hear it, and no one will tell Wang Guorui about these things. After all, many people told Wang Guorui about scolding him before, and Wang Guorui also had the consciousness of doing it himself. If you don't have the consciousness to be scolded, what kind of politician are you? If everyone who scolds you has to chase the responsibility, then you really don't have to do anything else. So as long as he didn't point at Wang Guorui and scold him in front of everyone, then Wang Guorui didn't bother to pursue it.

But here they are scolding, but some people are not happy.

"What are you scolding? This celebration of the emperor is a good thing! I'm making all kinds of wood furniture now, and we couldn't make too much of it, but since we heard that there was going to be a celebration, we have purchased a lot of money from the government here, and the daily orders are several times more than in the past! The money I made this time is enough to make me more money than I did during the past Chinese New Year! ”

"Yes! My girls don't do it in the textile factory, and now the textile factory is ordered by the imperial court in large quantities, and then the feet don't touch the ground every day. But now it's very good, and in the past, I didn't die every day, that's it. There is nothing to be gained, and now a large number of orders have come down, and the money earned in a day is five or six times more than in the past! What's more, this time the owner also hopes to work overtime and work overtime as soon as possible. And if we can complete the list before the Chinese New Year, the owner is willing to give us twice the overtime pay again, which is really earned. So we've made a lot of money, and we're going to have a fat year this year. Also, wouldn't it be nice if I could earn five or six months a month? If you wanted to get so much savings in the past, I'm afraid it would have taken at least a year! But now it's been done a year ahead of schedule, which is also a good thing! ”

Many workers also praised the government for placing orders, because this celebration purchased a lot of things, and then stimulated a lot of industrial production. Let industrial production achieve an initial blowout, and then the people will have to face overtime in a short time, but they have no opinion. Because they are just in the beginning of their careers, they have almost no savings in their families, and they will choose to work hard to earn money in order to fight for some savings. They are now eager to work overtime, and there is no such thing as the so-called white-collar workers in later generations opposing overtime.

After all, they work more and get more, and their income is based on piecework wages, and the basic salary is actually not high. Whoever wants them to stop working overtime now, then they are desperate with him. Now everyone is starting to prepare for the process of accumulating savings, so they have also started to work hard to make money, so of course they will not let go of the opportunity to make money, but will do it desperately.
