Chapter 404: The Joy of the People
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Qiang Qiang ......"
As soon as the news of tax reduction came out, Xianyang City suddenly boiled.
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, Qin flags are displayed, and people are crowded!
Those who should set up stalls are no longer setting up stalls, those who should be opening shops are not opening shops, and even those who farm are not going to work in the fields, just to celebrate this initiative!
Reduced taxes mean they don't have to be so tired anymore!
I didn't have a lot of money left over in a year before, but now it's okay, the more you work, the more you earn, just pay a small part of the tax!
The streets and alleys are filled with the sound of gongs and drums.
If there is no gong or drum, take out your own copper basin and knock it to express your joy!
"It's great, Your Majesty has actually reduced our taxes for us!"
"yes, that's something I never dreamed of!"
"No! My old woman has lived for so long, and she has always heard of increased taxes, forced labor, and never heard of such a good thing as a reduction in taxes! I didn't expect to be bumped into by me! ”
"Haha! Mother, you just live well, the tax you pay now is almost equivalent to nothing, and our family will have money in the future, so we will buy you meat to eat every day! ”
"Good, good, hahaha......!"
The people cheered and the joy was beyond words.
In this era, there were no communication tools such as telephones and telegraphs, and the transmission of information could only rely on manpower.
So other counties learned the news relatively late!
When they saw the news of the tax reduction published in the newspapers, they were still confused and couldn't believe it!
"It says that His Majesty wants to reduce taxes for us, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Who knows, will it be so sudden? And it has decreased so much all at once? ”
"I guess it should be true, a relative of my family went to Xianyang City two days ago to buy goods, and saw the return of the navy with his own eyes, bringing a lot of treasures, and the household department used a car to pull it all day before it was finished!"
"Oh my God, how much does that cost?"
"I don't know how much it is, but I estimate that the imperial court should have become rich all of a sudden, otherwise it wouldn't have made such a big move to reduce taxes for us!"
"Yes, yes......!"
The people held newspapers in their hands, doubting their beliefs and speculating wildly.
It wasn't until the government issued an official announcement that I dared to believe it!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, little boy!"
Many people wept excitedly, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Xianyang.
"Huh? This policy was promulgated by His Majesty, why should I thank the little boy? ”
Some uninformed old people were full of doubts.
"You don't know that, do you? The little prince has just pacified the Three Kingdoms, and returned with a lot of loot, so that the treasury is abundant, if there is no such large amount of money, do you think Your Majesty can reduce taxes for us? ”
"What you said is not comprehensive, according to the grapevine, this tax reduction was proposed by the little prince, and it also persuaded His Majesty and the ministers!"
"Oh? I see, that's really thanks to the little boy! ”
After speaking, a large number of people knelt down and kowtowed, thanking His Majesty and the little boy.
……
After resting for two days, Xiao Zhengtai couldn't stay in the palace anymore and took a carriage to the outside of the palace.
first went to the other garden to call Han Xin and Wang Li, and then went to various industries to check!
After two days of revelry, the people finally returned to their former state!
The stall that should be out of the stall, the store that should be opened, the farmer who should be farming!
At this time, it has entered September, and when it is the cotton picking period, the people who farm are busy working on their own cotton in the field!
The processing method of cotton has been reported in the newspapers, and the government has also trained many professionals to teach the people how to handle it.
The processed cotton is very soft, and the women make cotton clothes and quilts into cotton clothes and quilts, and keep them for the winter!
Last year, due to the limited number, they didn't even see what the padded jackets looked like.
This year, every household can wear warm cotton clothes and cover with thick quilts!
The surplus cotton can be sold to textile mills, and the price is not cheap!
Knitwear is produced in the summer, when the weather gets cooler and is just right to sell.
The machine was just freed up to produce cotton cloth from freshly harvested cotton!
The efficiency of the steam loom is very high, producing thousands of pieces of cloth per day.
Lu Ze is responsible for selling to various places, and Lu Pheasant and Lu Yan are only responsible for buying and selling in Xianyang City!
Don't underestimate these two jobs, in just one year, the three brothers and sisters bought a big house in Xianyang City!
Because all those who work under Xiao Zhengtai use the dividend system.
The more the guys and shopkeepers sell, the more they earn!
Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant have taken over the entire cloth business, so it's no wonder if they don't make money!
"Tear a three-foot cloth for me and go home and make a dress for the child!"
"Auntie! You really have a vision, our cotton cloth is cheap, brightly colored, and very soft and breathable to wear, which is the most suitable for making clothes for children! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, although the price of our previous linen cloth is cheap, it is uncomfortable for children to wear, but the cloth spun from cotton is really soft, it is really a good thing!"
"Bring me three feet!"
"I want two feet!"
"Just give me a ......!"
Ying Feiyu took Han Xin and Wang Li to the cloth village, and before they could enter the door, they heard a noise inside, and the people reported the size of the fabric they wanted.
Lu Pheasant warmly entertained and beckoned his subordinates to cut according to the quantity!
Now the cloth village has been separated from the sweater shop, and there is only a wall in between.
Compared with the cotton cloth that has just been listed, although the sweater store has a good business, it is far less popular than the cloth village.
After all, a large number of them were sold out last winter, and this year, the demand from the people has decreased!
However, the factory has begun to adjust the style, in addition to warmth, pay more attention to the style!
Since the sweater has been put on the right track, it is the younger Lu Huan who is in charge of it.
Buzhuang couldn't squeeze in, so Xiao Zhengtai had to turn around and enter the sweater shop.
The little girl Lu Huan was busy with a few guys, and when she saw him enter the door, Lu Huan immediately put down the work in her hand and hurriedly ran over, her face full of joy, "Little boy, are you back?" ”
Since she came to Xianyang and met Ying Feiyu, somehow, she has paid special attention to the things about the little boy.
Especially after destroying the Three Kingdoms in a row this time, I suddenly realized that the little boy is the best man in the world!
A few days ago, my father also sent a letter, saying that the two sisters should find a husband in Xianyang City, and not go back to a small place like Surabaya!
But she saw that even if the men in Quan Xianyang were added together, they were not as good as a little boy!
"Well, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I miss my son?"
Xiao Zhengtai said jokingly.
"No! But not only I miss the childe, but the people of the whole city are thinking about the little son! ”
Lu Huan generously admitted it, and was very witty to round the words.
It's really smart to admit your thoughts without embarrassing yourself!
Xiao Zhengtai nodded appreciatively.
My sister is a ruthless character in history, but I didn't expect my sister to be inferior!
