Women are officials, and people who only have some ink in their stomachs feel incredible, as if they are subverting traditional culture.

But for the simple-minded people, they don't care whether they are men or women, as long as they can make a good life, they are good officials.

It was the autumn harvest season, and Wang Baoyu implemented the policy of exempting taxes in Yiling, which meant that the common people no longer had to hand in grain, which was great news. For a while, the people were grateful and praised this young Taishou.

The people were happy, but the officials led by Wang Baoyu were worried, although they had some money in their hands at present, but there was always a time when they ran out, and they had to actively generate income.

No, as soon as Wang Baoyu's policy of exempting taxes was implemented, Fan Yufeng, director of the Economic Bureau, found him, frowned and said: "Baoyu, it is natural for the people to farm and pay for grain, and there is no need to exempt them." ”

"I understand what you mean, but the people are so little that they can't eat enough, and they can't hand over any extra food unless they are forced to die." Wang Baoyu sighed.

Fan Yufeng couldn't insist anymore, hesitated for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Baoyu, can you make some easy-to-sell things to fill the vacancy?" ”

"Yufeng, you are always spitting, if you have something to say, just say it."

Fan Yufeng snorted again, and said with a red face: "It's also a helpless move, but you can make a profit in the short term, like the official ban on the sale of the Lost Soul and the Soul Pill......

That's enough! Without waiting for Fan Yufeng to finish speaking, Wang Baoyu shouted and said sternly: "Yufeng, I know you have a lot of brains. But you have read no less sage books than I do, and you should know that these are harmful things. A gentleman loves money and takes it from the way, and he can't think about it from these side doors in the future! ”

"Baoyu, I know it's wrong." Fan Yufeng immediately lowered her head, and kept apologizing pitifully.

"Forget it, you're also here to develop the local economy. Well, call everyone here, and let's have a meeting and discuss it. ”

Fan Yufeng got the order and immediately went to do it, Wang Baoyu looked at her back, and some feelings in her heart were touched again. In modern times, he and two stunning female drug dealers are not innocent, and of course the two female drug dealers end up on the road of no return.

Therefore, Wang Baoyu will never allow the girls he knows to do this kind of thing of licking blood from the knife edge, and he will cut off their thoughts from the beginning.

Immediately, Wang Baoyu organized a meeting and determined two things: one is to vigorously develop agriculture and improve the scale and efficiency of planting; The second is to develop commerce, and to collect taxes on businessmen, but to relax the conditions for market access, no matter where businessmen come from, all of them are welcome.

"Baoyu, we must strictly prevent Jiangdong soldiers and horses and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses from pretending to be merchants, mixing into the city, waiting for opportunities to make trouble." Fan Yufeng, director of the Economic Bureau, raised his concerns.

"Let Jin Feng be responsible for this, no matter where he comes to the businessman, he is not allowed to bring weapons into the city, and he must also file with the Economic Bureau." Wang Baoyu said.

"I will definitely complete the task." Fan Jinfeng, director of the Public Security Bureau, confidently assured.

"Baoyu's orders are all serious, don't be child's play." Sister Fan Yufeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Look down on me, just take care of your business!"

"You! Talking is getting more and more frivolous! ”

"Hee-hee, my good sister, where did you touch the ashes and get angry at me again!"

"You two listen to Baoyu!" Huang Yueying couldn't stand it, and interjected unhappily, the two sisters closed their mouths and didn't dare to talk nonsense, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Wang Baoyu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "As for how to make the businessmen willing to come to us, Yufeng will think of more ways." ”

Fan Yufeng nodded, and also put forward some of his own opinions, such as carving out a few places in the city to form a grain trading area, a cloth trading area, and a daily necessities trading area.

Wang Baoyu agreed with Fan Yufeng's idea, saying that it was possible to make a scale in this way, and Fan Yufeng raised another question, that is, the gold and silver brought by the merchant are not easy to keep, and if the phenomenon of loss occurs, it will still affect the enthusiasm of the merchant.

Wang Baoyu thought about it and asked Fan Yufeng to plan a money bank, where businessmen could make deposits, the interest rate must be low, and silver bills stamped with the official seal could be issued. Due to the lack of paper, it is soaked in special bamboo slices and fire-roasted oil, which is easy to preserve and does not have moths. Fan Jinfeng must organize manpower and ensure the safety of money.

The move of opening a money bank was definitely ahead of its time and also solved the troubles of the inconvenience of the businessmen to carry the money.

The sisters of the Fan family all took the task with solemn faces, knowing that this was by no means a joke, but a thousand catties of burden on their shoulders.

There is still one problem left, which also needs to be solved urgently, that is, the army used to garrison Yiling, but there are 5,000 people, and the consumption is not low.

It is impossible to do without an army, especially in troubled times. Wang Baoyu also thought about this question for a long time and came up with a solution.

"Brother Fan, our army can't eat for nothing, my idea is to let them divide into two teams and take turns guarding the city. In their spare time, in addition to military training, they should also engage in agricultural activities and strive for self-sufficiency. Wang Baoyu said.

"Brother, don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely strive to keep the army from becoming a drag." Fan Jinqiang nodded solemnly.

As soon as the arrangement was made, Wang Baoyu thought of another problem, that is, advertising, and good policies must be known.

Therefore, Wang Baoyu asked Fan Yufeng to arrange some more people to go to various nearby places to publicize the commercial policies of Yiling and attract merchants to come.

For Wang Baoyu's arrangements, the deputy Taishou Ma Liang admired it, and rubbed his clothes excitedly, he could already assert that Yiling City would become extremely prosperous.

Of course, Ma Liang can't do nothing, he first sorted out these policies and archived them. Then, according to Wang Baoyu's arrangement, he took on the position of president of the court, after all, where there are people, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of disputes. Dealing with these little things is a piece of cake for Ma Liang.

As for her sister Huang Yueying, she also has something to do, in addition to supervising these officials and sorting out accounts, Wang Baoyu also discussed with her to give full play to her sister's mechanical design talents and study some food equipment.

For example, equipment to increase the amount of cooking oil produced, and wheat that everyone does not like to eat can be turned into a delicacy, and when necessary, a processing plant can be opened.

Huang Yueying is very interested in this, with these equipment, the people's lives will be greatly improved, and at the same time, they can also give full play to their talents.

Of course, Diao Chan was not idle, she first reformed the private schools in the city, and the salaries of the teaching gentlemen were included in the government salary system, and the places for teaching were also provided by the government, and the children in Yiling City, both male and female, could go to school for free.
