The big city has the majesty of the city with high walls and thick walls, while the small town in a quiet corner has the excitement of a small town.

On the Daqian map, you can only see a small spot. And this little dot was officially named Jincheng last month, which means: blooming flowers.

Today is the monthly gathering in this small town, and it is very lively and crowded.

In particular, several cross streets have been planned and rebuilt around the main road. On both sides of the spacious main road, many small vendors are selling their own goods, including fresh vegetables and fruits that look delicious. There are also small fish and shrimps touched in small rivers and ditches, or newly caught pheasants and rabbits, eggs laid by chickens and ducks, which are reluctant to eat and sold for some copper coins. There are also handicrafts that many people tinkered with in their spare time and sold for subsidies. Home use. It’s really a dazzling array of things to see, and there’s an endless stream of people joining in the fun.

Of course, the most lively ones are the four shops along the street, one each in the southeast, northwest, and the easternmost one is a grain and oil store on Qinglong Street. Although there are not many people queuing in front of the door, most of them are holding a big palm-shaped The paper ticket is easy to read if you look closely at it. It probably means that you can exchange this ticket for designated items at four stores in Jincheng before a certain year, a certain month, or a certain day. Valid for two months and will be void upon expiration.

The items that can be exchanged for this paper ticket at the grain and oil store are probably: five pounds of brown rice, one pound of bacon, and of course, a pack of half a pound of coarse salt to choose from.

The lady at the front took out two tickets and told the store clerk that she wanted to exchange them for five kilograms of brown rice and one kilogram of cured meat.

The clever shop assistant quickly scooped the rice from the rice bag next to him and weighed it. He also used the scale to confirm it with his aunt. It was easy to cut the marinated meat. Just ask for the piece. The origin of the meat was also simple. It was all those young people. The army went into the mountains to arrest them in the name of actual combat training. They killed the fat and used it to make soap. The endless lean meat was pickled with salt and sold here to be exchanged for other supplies.

To purchase flowers picked by the people in the town, depending on the type of flowers, the people can choose copper coins or use paper tickets to pay. The value of one paper ticket can be exchanged for about ten copper coins. Of course, how to obtain paper tickets is definitely not only about selling flowers, but also about the monthly salary of county government officials. You can get it by asking people in the county to build bridges, pave roads, open up wasteland, build houses, etc.

A very simple example is the street patrol officer in Jincheng. If his monthly salary is 800 yuan a month, he can only receive 800 copper coins, and paper tickets are only 100. However, the purchasing power of paper tickets in Jincheng is According to the rules, the invisible value increased by up to 20%. Gradually, these people became accustomed to settling their monthly salary with paper checks.

Invisibly solving the problem of lack of circulation of copper coins in Huacheng, the copper plate depreciated slightly by 10% or 20%, making the paper notes more valuable, but it also had the limitation of timeliness that it had to be used in two months. This is a bit like printing money, the amount of issuance is definitely limited, and it is also the epitome of a planned economy. Of course, the printing work of this paper ticket must be contracted by Yilifuren Publishing House, and then you can stamp the date and Jincheng seal yourself.

To the south is Zhuque Street, which is also a commercial street. The innermost store has the most people outside. There is a long queue outside. These people are carrying cloth bags, and there are small cloth bags in the big bags, all with various labels. After selling the fragrant flowers, you may buy some needles, thread, pots, pans and other small items in the nearby shop and leave with satisfaction.

To the west is Baihu Street, which is also the busiest. There is a cloth shop there, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is overcrowded. Paper tickets for selling flowers can also be used here. The price of a piece of coarse cloth is ten paper tickets. It can be exchanged. People must live their lives carefully. There are a few people who put together ten pieces of each other to exchange for a piece of cloth.

The class representative said:

1 horse = 10 feet = 100 feet = 33. meters. As for the width, it is not certain. In the hand-woven period, two feet was about 0.6 meters. Later, with the rapid development of science and technology, most of them were 1.4 to 1.5 meters, and some were two meters. With the development of industry, modern textiles are commonly referred to as cloth. The term "piece" refers to a piece of cloth, with a general specification of 30 meters. During the production process, one piece of cloth may vary due to different fabrics or other production reasons. It must be 30 meters, there are 25 meters, 45 meters and so on.

Of course, it is diagonally opposite the location of the Jincheng County Government Office. A stage has been set up in the open square in front of the county government office, and a troupe is performing hard on it. Judging from the situation, it should be a martial arts performance. The horns on the stage are holding swords and dancing with swords. Hua and several villains were gesticulating back and forth, and the audience was crowded with people who loved to join in the fun. Everyone saw the wonderful performance on the stage and couldn't help but howl "Okay."

To the north is Xuanwu Street, which is also a newly built medical center. There used to be a barefoot doctor in the town. He could only treat headaches and fever. Other problems depended on whether the horoscope was strong or not. Now that he is better, he has become his deputy.

The person sitting in the clinic now is an old man with an immortal spirit. Regardless of his medical skills, he is such a good-looking miracle doctor. He is over sixty years old. His hair has turned gray, but it is still neatly combed behind his head. Tie up with a black cloth belt. His face was square, with wrinkles covering his forehead and corners of his eyes, showing signs of age. Slender figure, those bright eyes under the longevity eyebrows, always with a warm smile, long and thin fingers, lightly resting on your veins, through looking, smelling and asking, you can prescribe the right medicine for patients with various difficult and complicated diseases. Treatment is readily available.

When every patient comes, he always patiently inquires about the condition, carefully observes the patient's pulse, and then writes a prescription based on years of experience, and then writes a prescription for the medicine boy to take to the back hall to find someone to take the medicine.

Although this old man is old, his background is quite impressive. He was the imperial physician who retired and was sent to this small town by the old emperor using his privileges. Considering that if his child feels unwell here, he can be treated as soon as possible. .

With such a good old doctor, he must make the best use of his talents and resources, so he persuaded the old doctor to open a medical clinic here. The main purpose was to put a few military medical apprentices in his place. For this seemingly small matter, it is not It took a lot of effort. After all, medical skills are inherited from ancestors and are not passed down to outsiders. Fortunately, Musk gave him some advice, gave him a lot of good wine, and also proposed a new idea of ​​using highly distilled alcohol to disinfect and perform surgeries in exchange for his consent.

Military doctors don't need to know too much about these things. They can bandage and treat headaches, brain fever, diarrhea and diarrhea.

Diagonally across from the medical center is the school in the town, which has a day off every day, which coincides with the market day. This makes it seem a little more deserted. In normal times, the sound of reading can be heard from any corner of the entire cross street.

Jun Xiangru also spent a lot of money and food for this school. How to say that, it is easy to talk about it on paper. When it is actually implemented, it encounters various problems. Especially the school that was set up in a hurry made Jun Xiangru almost doubt his life.

I didn't think much of the scale at first, and just happened to acquire the yard of a wealthy family to use as a church. There were only a few applicants, and they were all children from the families of county government officials.

There are no children in the nearby village, and no one is willing to send children even if notices are posted everywhere to announce that repair fees will not be levied.

After many inquiries, I found out that although there is no need to pay for repairs, it is a courtesy for the master! Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are also a big expense.

Later, it became a complete package of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There are more people coming, and three meals a day are included, which is enough.

It developed to include accommodation, and finally everyone was given two sets of uniform clothes.

In the end, as long as people of the right age come, it will be enough. Other schools are all inclusive, but they still accept both men and women, so they can barely enroll a hundred people.

With such favorable conditions, some children drop out of school after reading. After asking around, we found out that children aged 6-10 can help the family with some work every day. Their ancestors have been farming for generations. , and there is no reading gene. A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make holes. These dropouts have no talent for reading, they just have stupid brains. They forget while teaching. Even the master has no solution. Reading is like going to the execution ground. They are very tired of studying, even if their family members force them to come. What are the explanations of these people? Yes, even if I still want to farm after studying, why should I study?

There is no solution to this problem. There is no way you can hold a knife to these people's necks and force them to send their children to school!

So when it comes to studying, you can only take your time. You have to eat in one mouthful and walk step by step on the road. Don't be in a hurry. These people's knowledge is limited. You won't understand if you talk to those people about the truth. The only way is to repair the road first. , according to the established plan, the county will launch a literacy campaign to let these people know the importance of reading. Only by increasing investment in education, which can only make a profit, can we effectively improve the current problem.

Of course, in order to revitalize the economy of this small town, Jun Xiangru also spent a lot of real money. I remember the first time the market was held, there were only a few farmers nearby, and they took some that they couldn't finish eating. Perishable vegetables and fruits are sold, and of course there are also stalls set up by people with pretense. No matter how many stalls you count, there are more stalls than you can count in two hands.

This time he asked Jun Yimo to uphold it. If you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are successful, you can help the world. No matter what items are being sold at the stalls, she buys some. Eating is easier and she just wraps it up. After all, there are a thousand mouths behind her that can share the pressure for her. At most, she can give everyone extra food.

After waiting like this for the next ten days, the number of people setting up stalls doubled. Jun Yimo's arrogant buying and selling allowed those who went to the market to set up stalls and sell things to make some small money. Word of mouth spread the word, and she was definitely looking forward to the next market. As expected, the number of people setting up stalls doubled again in the third market. Although Jun Yimo was buying and selling this time, he was not the kind that would soak up rain and dew equally. Instead, I started to pick out the items I like. I would not buy from those vendors who sell shoddy goods and charge exorbitant prices.

I have some superficial experience in running three fairs. I convened the county government officials to discuss the problems discovered and then solve them. Everyone checked and filled in each other's gaps to find problems that had not yet arisen.

This small and medium-sized market opens bustlingly every ten days. Although it is not as big as Hongfeng Town, the Jun family brothers and sisters firmly believe that it will reach that scale one day.

This originally remote town has now been expanded and developed into a town with a main street and a dozen fixed stores. The flow of people coming and going has also increased, especially the material trade with several neighboring counties. The exchanges became more frequent.

Everything goes well, especially when there is enough money and food, many seemingly difficult things can be solved easily, and with the assistance of Lin Xiangru, a capable minister, whose ability is incomparable to that of Zhima Guan County Magistrate, everything really goes well, everything goes smoothly. Development things are waiting to start after the autumn harvest.

The town's planning map has been released. With the county as the center, smooth roads will be built in all directions to facilitate smooth communication between villages and towns. A school will be built between two or three villages to facilitate the next step of literacy work. Lay the foundation.

We will build water conservancy projects, vigorously encourage farming, open up wasteland for cultivation in suitable areas to increase the total amount of food, and replant unsuitable areas with cash crops that can produce fragrant flowers.

As for the soap workshop, it is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Several skilled people have been trained and a good location has been found. A factory building covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres is being built there to meet the daily space of the soap workshop. It is expected to be completed after the autumn harvest, and a hundred people will be recruited first. Not only do they have a certain age requirement, but they also need to be able to read a little. This is actually a measure to force these people to pass literacy classes.

There is also a requirement that they cannot go home to visit relatives and friends within three years. Family members can come to the reception room of the workshop once a month and can meet with their family members for about a quarter of an hour under the supervision of a dedicated person. Of course, this measure is to ensure that the soap formula is not leaked as much as possible. After three years, the money earned may not be enough to support Jun Xiangru's battle for the throne, but being invincible should be no problem!

Of course, with so many requirements, the salary will certainly not be low. As long as you pass the requirements, you will pay a settlement fee of five taels of silver first. Depending on the position, the monthly salary will be as low as one tael or as high as ten taels per month.

As the soap market expands and the supply of raw materials improves, it may continue to recruit people.

Through all-round development, the people under the rule not only have enough to eat, but also make money, and they also need to study and be polite.

This time was a big fair at the beginning of the month. Not only did it attract people from Jincheng City to set up stalls to sell goods, but also some smart people from the neighboring county came to take a share of the market with their own goods.

Jincheng dispatched all government officials to patrol the streets to maintain order, not only to resolve possible disputes, but also to divert traffic and maintain the surrounding environment.

A team of ten men armed with sharp armor was even transferred from the military camp to scare Xiao Xiao.

Jun Yimo was happily shopping again. She no longer needed to drive the market. After several months of development, the residents of the town had more or less savings. After all, many projects are starting one after another, and people are being recruited everywhere. As long as you are not afraid of hard work, it is relatively easy to make some money. You can be careful when settling the wages. It is not only copper coins, but also rice grains and paper tickets.

Once you have money, you can drive the circulation of goods in the town, and the emergence of transactions will allow you to exchange what you need. The development of Jincheng in the past few months can be described as rapid. Everyone is looking forward to the promising days ahead, and everyone has a bright future!
