Cook the paste with kudzu and rice flour, stick rags and old cloths on large pieces of cloth, stick them to a thickness of five or six minutes to dry, and then cut them into a base with a shoe knife. Then drill through with a drill, through the hemp shoe cord, and pull it tight. The drilled holes should be many and dense, arranged neatly, and the tighter the shoe rope, the better, so as to make a hundred thousand layers of shoes.

I have to say that as long as there is money to take, whether it is learning or labor efficiency, it will be there immediately.

In a day, the officials and the families of the servants knew what to do, and then they returned with a large amount of coarse cloth.

With just a little mention, these women know how to make the most of the assembly line principle.

In fact, in feudal society, if it is peaceful, the county order is actually very rare, after all, the social structure is single, then it is easy to manage, here, Fang Xin has to think of a question - those scholars who specialize in Confucianism, resolutely oppose commercialization, is it because the merchants are highly mobile and professional, resulting in their inability to manage?

If it can't be managed, it will simply be abolished, and it can't be abolished, and it must be belittled, thinking about this, Fang Xin suddenly became extremely clear about the historical process.

From the perspective of the history of the earth, the existence of the Ming arithmetic department (numbers and account books) made the Tang and Song dynasties prosperous, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming arithmetic department basically did not exist, or sank into the skills of small officials, so the idea of seclusion and defending the country was serious.

This is because they occupy the elite class of society and do not know arithmetic, or are not good at arithmetic, so they are naturally extremely hostile and attack on business - because people do not know how to manage. Even if you tell him, he won't understand anything.

on Earth. Countless people have studied why China cannot produce capitalism, of course, there are many, many reasons, and some idiots even say that this is the feudal lord's instinctive hatred of the capitalist landlord, this is simply extremely nonsense, everyone knows the master of foreknowledge, knows the class theory, knows that the capitalists will replace them?

Actually, the reason is very simple. These officials who run the state and the literati class as a whole are not proficient in mathematics and are not popular, so they are naturally unable to manage commerce, and they have limited arithmetic skills, and can manage the tenants of the land well, so they especially hate and attack the merchants—recall that those who oppose the merchants. Is math bad?

As soon as I think of this, I understand everything, there are many links to change the internal circulation of the Chinese style, but the key point is that as long as a certain imperial court regards mathematics as the basic subject of officials and takes the same exam as policy theory, then the overall quality of the official class will be improved, and it will naturally manage commerce and businessmen, and will manage businessmen. If it will not be attacked, it will allow the development of commerce, and the benefits will be discovered, and then it will naturally be transformed from the landlord aristocracy into the capitalist aristocracy, and then the capitalist society will naturally be formed.

Thinking of this, the jade ruyi shook violently, almost emitting light, which is an unprecedented thing, which means that the unprecedented great merit lies.

Fang Xin spent a lot of energy before he could control himself. After all, after collecting taxes, the entire yamen will have no official business, but this is not nothing to do, on the contrary. Very busy.

Then. The entire yamen is busy. For the New Year's celebration, it is necessary to make thorough preparations.

The customs of Dachu, once you enter the wax moon, you will be considered to have entered the New Year. It was not until the 25th day of the first month that it returned to normal after the "warehouse filling".

Whether it is the government or the people, must buy New Year's goods, this is one of the most important things, so as soon as you enter the wax moon, the market suddenly prospered, which is a unique market in a year, called "wax moon market".

Not to mention Fucheng, it is the temporary market in the county seat, which is also very lively, and vendors from all over the country have also arrived.

Of course, on the eighth day of the lunar month, the government must specifically worship the "god of the ya" and the god of prison, as a county order, it must also sacrifice to the god of the land, which is a very important work, in order to bless the harvest of crops and the people to eat, so it is worshipped. Lin Lei

On this day, the whole yamen is fragrant, because of the cooking of laba porridge, this pot is very large, one pot can be eaten by fifty people, so according to the rules, a total of 10 cauldrons are boiled, and each person in the yamen will get a share.

There are red dates, japonica rice, walnut kernels, chestnuts, water chestnut rice, and even rare sugar is added, and everyone is happy at once.

"Your Excellency, you're done." No, on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, someone reported it.

When I went to the county office, I saw that the square was full of people in the morning, and at a cursory glance, there were 400 people, who were obviously people from the yamen, almost all of them came, and seeing that the people were all gathered, Fang Xin gave an order, and stood up according to their official positions and ages.

As the magistrate, Fang Xin personally led them, sacrificed heaven and earth, monarchs, and gods, and was busy for an afternoon, and after the sacrifice was completed, they returned to the square, at this time, there were more people, bustling and crowded, and even family members came, and there were nearly a thousand people present.

Fang Xin coughed, and saw that the audience began to be silent, and then Fang Xin stepped forward and said slowly: "Today's Laba, according to the laws and regulations, according to their positions and ages, are lined up one by one!" ”

Except for the official officials, the others all stood up and stood in order.

Fang Xin saw that everyone was in line, so he said with a smile: "Today, let me talk about it first, the arrival of this county is also March, and it is also thanks to you that you can be loyal to your duties, so the errand is done well, so this year's New Year's goods will also be sent together." ”

He turned around again and said to Zheng Yongze, the county magistrate: "Lord Zheng, there are many people, why don't you divide it into three paragraphs, and you will read out the upper paragraph?" ”

This has actually been said, and Zheng Yongze, the county leader, bowed his hand slightly and said, "Yes!" ”

He took the paper and sang: "Song Wenchen, the scribe of the signing room!" ”

"Humble duty!"

"A portion of Laba porridge, two pairs of thousand-layer official boots, two pairs of hundred-bottomed shoes, his wife Zhang, 20 pairs of boots, and a salary of 2,000 Wen!"

This sound came out, and suddenly, everyone was in a commotion, Song Wenchen stepped forward calmly, and then his wife came up with a big bowl. I filled a bowl, and then I took boots, shoes, and copper coins.

"Team leader Liu Jueming!"

"Humble duty!"

"A portion of laba porridge. Two pairs of thousand-layer official boots, two pairs of hundred-bottomed shoes, his wife Qian, made 50 pairs of boots, and the salary was 5,000 Wen! ”

Liu Jueming stepped forward proudly, this salary is equivalent to his salary for a year, of course, corruption can make some money. But this county is very poor, and the income is limited, which is legal money, fortunately he took 50 pairs at once and mobilized his relatives to make it.

And below, it is also reported one by one, and everyone has a share. Even if it is less, there are 500 Wen, you know, at this time, the rice is only 2 Wen and 1 catty, and the meat is only 10 Wen and 1 catty!

At that moment, when he read one-third, the county Cheng Zheng Yongze's throat was really a little hoarse, and he hurriedly handed it over to the lord Bo Qiao Jieying, and the lord Bo Qiaojie Ying read one-third, and then handed it to the county lieutenant Gu Qingbin, which took three hours. It was considered that the New Year's goods were distributed, and after the distribution was completed, everyone was full of red and joy, and the support for the county immediately went up to a new level.

Fang Xin came to the stage at this time and said: "In the future, you can wait, but you can only come for half a day to run errands, after the twentieth day of the lunar month, except for some positions in turn, the others can go home for the New Year." Prison convicts can also go home for the Chinese New Year, and their families are also allowed to visit their families for reunions. ”

"Yes, sir!" Thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving.

The rules of Da Chu start on the eighth day of the lunar month. In fact, it's already a half-holiday. And on the twentieth day of the lunar month, the government will be sealed. It was not until the twentieth day of the first month that the office was reopened, and after the seal, the officials began to officially take a holiday.

Therefore, between the eighth day of the lunar month and the twentieth day of the lunar month, in fact, the county governor should invite the heads of the following yaya, and the heads of the yamen should invite the following officials, which is to reward everyone for their hard work for a year, so it has become a practice to drink and gather together, and after 20 days, everyone ran home.

After the busy, the chief officials of the government can finally enter the hall, this is a banquet that can only be participated in by officials of the grade, of course, Song Wenchen, the scribe of the signing room, and Liu Jueming, the head of the team, they are more special and can also participate.

"We're here to congratulate you!" At the banquet, all the officials raised their glasses and congratulated Fang Xin.

Fang Xin smiled gently and said, "Tonghe, all of you have worked hard this year, come, everyone have a toast!" ”

Suddenly, everyone toasted, and then the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and they sat down, at this time, it was white outside, and it was snowing, Fang Xin actually held the cup and stopped talking.

"My lord, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, rejoice my lord!" The county lieutenant thought about it and said.

"My lord, I heard that the adult is a new entrant this year, I don't know if my subordinates have the honor to see the adult's poem?" The main Bo Qiao Jieying is from a good background, so he has some literary talents.

"There's a song, you can listen to it." Fang Xin played with the wine glass and read it out slowly.

"Sixty charcoal sellers outside the city, cutting and burning charcoal in the south mountain. His face was full of dust and smoke, and his temples were pale and his fingers were black. What is the profit from selling charcoal? The clothes on the body eat in the mouth. The poor shirt is single, and the heart is worried and wishes for the cold. ”

Listening to Fang Xin's poem, everyone was stunned, I don't know what to say, people are not beasts, these people naturally have some literary talents, some thoughts, half a sound, the county Cheng Zheng Yongze sighed sincerely: "This official was born as a person, to be this official, has been in the office for 16 years, has always had regrets, today I heard the work of adults, only to wake up in a daze, only adults such as the real intestinal state affairs, worried about the hearts of the people, can be so young for a parent official, this is the luck of adults, the luck of the court, but also the great luck of the people!" ”

The main Bo Qiao Jieying said sincerely: "It is indeed a good poem, Qiao is really ashamed!" ”

Inspector Zhang Yang looked very strange, and after listening to this poem, he had some tears and was speechless.

"Everyone, this county will be honest today, this county is the official side, naturally we must govern one side, so that the people can be healthy, live up to the grace of the court, live up to the people of Li, and be worthy of the sage book!" Fang Xin bowed his hand: "However, whose family has no wife and children, whose family has no children and grandchildren, and whose family doesn't want to live better?" The imperial court, we all know that if you are a common person, you can also raise a family, but for officials, up and down, and colleagues, this money is not enough at all, what do you think? ”

Originally, the officials present thought that Fang Xin was going to be this clean official, so they admired and admired, and they were still a little sad in their hearts, but now when they heard the next paragraph, everyone suddenly felt the same way, looked at him, and looked at him again.

"The reason of heaven is not human affection, and the county does not dare to violate this reason, here, when this year's inspection, you are fully supportive. The county thanked me in advance. Speaking of this, Fang Xin paused. Scan the whole audience.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The officials actually filled this warehouse, and they also thought about it for a lot of time, because as long as they were forty percent, they gritted their teeth and came out after thinking about Fang Xindi's warning, which was actually accidental, and if they really came again, I don't know if they would agree.

Fang Xin said at this time: "This county." Thinking about it for a long time, the people are tired and overwhelmed, and if we take an extra penny, we may force the family to be ruined, so after the county took office, it has been flipped. And if we cannot sleep, how can we make the people well, and all the adults well? ”

County Lieutenant Gu Qingbin's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "What is your good plan?" ”

Fang Xin smiled: "Since you can't save it, then open source, Song Wenchen, you go and get the account book!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Song Wenchen immediately took it.

"Baidi shop, buy 800 pieces of coarse cloth from the county warehouse. The expenditure of 800 yuan has been entered into the county treasury, and the inventory is correct. Song Wenchen read.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is this a fair deal? The county treasury has ever been short of money? ”

"My lord, the cloth is only two through one horse, and the inferior cloth in the middle of the county is sold for only 800 Wen, and few people sell it, and it is already profitable to sell consistently." Lord Bo Qiao Jieying immediately said: "Anyone." I can't say it, it's short of the government's money! ”

"Read it again!" Fang Xin was very satisfied and said. "Eight hundred pieces of coarse cloth, five thousand pairs of them, and five hundred pairs of mille-feuille boots. 4,500 pairs of 100-soled shoes. Later, fine shoelace, twine, glutinous rice, and wages cost 800 yuan. In total, the total cost is 1,800 yuan. ”

"Send 100 pairs of 1000-layer boots, 800 pairs of 100-soled shoes, and give them to the prefect and political envoys, as well as higher-level officials at all levels, a total of 100 pairs of 100-layer boots, 200 pairs of 100-soled shoes, 300 pairs of remaining 1000-layer boots, 3,500 pairs of 100-soled shoes, 2 fixed mille-feuille boots, and 18 100-soled shoes!"

"It is the annual meeting, so it is sold, and the city is actually digested, which is also the reason to send the officials first to make it fit, so the officials and scholars want to buy it, three days ago, it was all sold out, and the total profit was 110 and 600 Wen!" Song Wenchen finally concluded.

When the officials heard this, they were all shocked, they didn't expect that the profit would be so high.

Fang Xin therefore said: "This is the principle of open source in this county, everyone, this county takes two percent, the county Cheng Zheng takes one and a half, the county lieutenant and the main book each take one percent, the other nine products, each take half of the percent, and one percent is the income of the Baidi store, we don't exhaust the fish, but also leave some capital, after all, we can't sit in person, how?" ”

This is a thousand taels, take an achievement is a hundred taels, you know, this poor county, last time embezzled, the total amount was only three thousand taels of silver, and each person only took more than three hundred taels, and now there is one-third of it, almost made up for this year's stock, and suddenly, everyone knows what Fang Xin means by open source.

"Lord Zhixian, you take twenty percent, is it too little, I think you can take fifty percent!" There is Sihu Cao Shaping said.

"There are many and there are many people, everyone has a share, and everyone has something to take." Fang Xin interrupted this and said, "There is no need to fight about this matter, now, please take it, adults!" ”

There was no one present, all of them were officials, although they thought about it, but no one stepped forward for a while.

But I saw that Lord Zheng of the county stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Wonderful! ”

He stepped forward and took one letter, but it was one hundred and fifty taels of silver, a total of three letters, and the snow-white silver ingots flashed people's hearts, while some other broken silver, but they did not take it, and said: "Give some Yamen brothers a drink!" ”

With this beginning, all of a sudden, everyone stepped forward and received snow and silver, and the silver was in hand, and the hearts of the people were overjoyed.

When Fang Xin saw it, he laughed, pointed to the charcoal fire, and said, "Oh, you adults have to cut it again, come, the delicious food is ready, why don't you hurry up and put down the chopsticks?" And that's not all there for the coming year! ”

"Okay, I'll wait to congratulate you, and you will have another drink!" Not only that, but it made everyone's hearts hot, and they toasted together, and after sharing the spoils, everyone became much more intimate and drank happily.

For a while, the snowflakes fell, the wine came up, and the New Year's joy was already a little bit, and in the distance, those family members such as Yading also received a generous New Year's red envelope because of their participation in the work, and they were all busy going to the market to cut meat and eat a few good meals.

Only the people, all of them are still suffering, and for a while, they have not seen great benefits. When he arrived at the outer courtyard, there was feather-like snow floating under the sky, the sun was dark, and there was a feeling of tranquility that could not be dissolved.

"Next year, it should be a good year!" Fang Xin thought so, the yamen was already in control, and he was acting.
