Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Qian Erniu got up from the bed, he opened the window to look at the sun, and his mother's voice came from outside: "Erniu! Wake up, eat something!"

Qian Erniu shouted while putting on his clothes: "Come here."

The breakfast is simple, but the portion is quite large, two steamed buns with mixed noodles, plus two dishes of side dishes, made by my mother, I don’t want to mention whether it tastes good or not, but it fills my stomach.

Qian Erniu is a big boy, eats a lot, his mother also persuaded: "Eat slowly, it's still early, you won't be late."

With something still in his mouth, Qian Erniu said, "Mom, I'm going to school first."

His mother asked: "Go quickly, be more respectful to your husband, and don't quarrel with your classmates!"

Qian Erniu: "Got it!"

He was carrying a cloth bag with books in it. Since Nan Bodhisattva came, these half-children were forced to read and write, and they didn’t stop to practice. Books were also given for free. When the gentlemen first came I didn't like it either, and the elders who were embarrassed one by one, later became happy and became stricter with them.

In their school, the one with the best grades every month can get a piece of meat back, and there are also rice noodles.

The master said, this is the South Bodhisattva on the head who cherishes the scholars.

The master said: "When I was studying, where did you have such a good opportunity? Just to say that you are a teacher, you have to send things to the master's house first. Instead of doing your own work, you go to help the master. , you guys, now that you are in the Fuwo, you must know how to be satisfied."

"Look outside, don't talk about studying now, those who are the same age as you, even have problems eating or not, cheer up everyone, if you don't study well, I will break your legs !"

The students naturally dare not say anything.

These people were originally from ordinary families, and some of them were children of farmers.

I didn't have the opportunity to study before.

I want money!

There is one less earning laborer in the family.

It’s different now. In the past, father earned money alone in the family, but now mother can also earn money. Mother makes clothes at home. After a month, she may get more money than father.

Now there are more shrews in the city.

When they earn money, they have the right to speak and dare to confront their husbands.

There was another wife who had a bad temper before, and she had a verbal argument with her husband, who knocked him out.

When I took it to the medical clinic, I saw that my boy had almost no good skin all over his body.

This incident was quite a big one, and even Lin Yuan was alarmed.

"Is she so strong?" Lin Yuan coughed slightly.

There is a natural difference in physical strength between women and men. To beat a big man like that, how sturdy this woman must be.

While peeling melon seeds, Jiang Gui said, "I went to see it. She has big arms and round waist. She was originally the daughter of a pig butcher."

Lin Yuan: "How was the sentence later?"

Jiang Gui: "How can I be sentenced? I was locked up for a few days and asked someone to tell her every day that between husband and wife, don't do anything if it can be resolved. Her husband also said that although she is usually more serious, she is filial to her parents-in-law. , take care of the child, and he can't do without her."

Lin Yuan sighed.

Things between husband and wife are not clear to outsiders and cannot be understood.

Lin Yuan: "It's rare to have a rest day, shall we go out for a walk?"

Jiang Gui did not refuse: "It's time to go around, you have been busy these days, and I am worried that you will fall ill one day."

Lin Yuan sighed and felt that it was not easy for him.

Since he lived in the yamen, he has never touched the ground all day long, and all policies have to be changed and implemented.

He had to be the one to choose, but most of the people under his command didn't know a single character, but Zhu Yuanzhang held several civil positions.

So Lin Yuan also summoned all the former petty officials in Taizhou.

He said: "I will not pursue all kinds of things you have done in the past. You know how much you have taken from the common people and whether you have done anything unconscionable. In the future, if you let me know what you should not have taken, you have done it." What shouldn’t be done, one or two heads, can be chopped off.”

All the petty officials expressed their loyalty, promising that they would be loyal in the future and would never make things difficult for Lin Yuan.

I don't know when it started, except Brother Dao and the righteous brothers, no one else called him the boss, but called him "Master".

This also has something to do with not having a specific official position.

Now their official positions here are determined by Lin Yuan, and no one has heard of them, so they don't know who is superior and who is inferior. They only know which ones they can manage and which ones they don't.

For example, "Women's Federation Director" Li Da, he only knows that he is in charge of women's affairs, but he doesn't know how much official position he has and how much power he has.

Coupled with a group of illiterates, they all called Lin Yuan the lord after hearing that the book told some stories about the Three Kingdoms.

Lin Yuan listened to it several times, but didn't bother to correct it.

Now the order in Taizhou is determined by him, and it is easier to establish a new order when there is chaos.

That's why he didn't act according to his original official title.

The last thing Taizhou needs now is bureaucracy.

While bureaucracy is hard to resist, it cannot happen now.

Lin Yuan rode a horse and walked on the road with Jiang Gui. Not many people knew him, but everyone in Xinghua knew him, and the people in Taizhou didn't know him. Seeing him riding a horse, many people looked up at him .

The people have a good ability to adapt. Although there are new rules now, they find that these new rules do not restrict them too much. Small vendors feel more secure when they set up their stalls, because there are patrols every day. People don't look for them to be filial, mainly those who catch thieves and clean up faults.

There are also three teachings and nine streams in Taizhou, and many street gangsters rely on the filial piety of small vendors to make a living.

But correspondingly, these little gangsters want to help the small vendors to make peace.

So small vendors and shopkeepers are out of luck. They have to pay taxes to the court and pay tribute to the gangsters.

But to pay taxes to the imperial court, they are all meat buns beating dogs, and you can't even hear the sound. Even if you throw a copper plate on the ground, it can still go around a few times.

Now that Taizhou has changed hands, they have found that the tax revenue has been reduced - only two-thirds of the previous level, and the benefits are much greater.

For example, these patrolling soldiers will pass by their door every day. If someone makes trouble, the soldiers will control the person, escort them back first, and then ask the shopkeeper to confront them. Whoever is wrong and who is right will follow the facts.

And these soldiers will not be filial.

There was also a shopkeeper who asked strangely: "Why don't you let go of your mouth, don't you want this bit of filial piety?"

The soldier said: "I'm afraid that my comrades will report me! Besides, I have a lot of military pay now, which is not lacking. If you have money, why don't you use it to give to the poor? If you give a lot, the higher-ups will pay you alms." I can send you a pennant."

Regarding pennants, this is a new thing.

The first one to get the pennant was the owner of a restaurant. The owner didn’t know whether he was genuinely kind or just pretending. Anyway, he gave porridge to the poor for a month, and sometimes there were dry biscuits. So I rewarded him with five taels of silver and a pennant.

It's not a lot of money, it's just a matter of saving face.

But this pennant is different. The boss hangs the pennant at the door so that everyone who comes and goes can see it.

On the pennant, there are four big characters "Business Model".

When the boss saw the pennant, he was so happy that he didn't close his mouth for several days, laughing in his dreams.

Since the pennant was hung out, his family's business has improved a lot, so the porridge has not stopped.

Wherever he goes now, everyone says he is a model.

With him as an example, there will naturally be others to follow.

Many merchants have begun to give out porridge.

Poor people feel that this time is just like Chinese New Year.

They can all find work now, and even if they haven't found work, they don't have to go hungry.

But they can't do nothing. Their village chiefs have to report every month, which ones have found jobs and which ones have not.

If the quota is not met, their village will not allow rich households to give alms.

The women are also within the target, but out of ten women, if three can find a job, the task will be completed.

But men, as long as they are not short of arms and legs, they must all have work to do.

Lin Yuan didn't want to foster their laziness, and felt that if rich people fed them, he would be able to do nothing.

If someone really has this kind of thinking, it is called trouble.

The days passed and the better, the former imperial court fell, and there seemed to be no turmoil, but within a month, the common people sincerely supported Lin Yuan.

After all, the benefits are visible.

Now they can find work if they want to.

You can have a full stomach without going hungry, and if you lose your wages, you can go to the "Labor Bureau".

In the past, the imperial court always took the side of whoever had money, but now the "Labor Bureau" is different, as long as they don't make big mistakes, they will always take their side.

Lin Yuan walked around the street twice and found that the vendors were setting up their stalls until midnight. Because there was no curfew, there were many people at night. In order to maintain order, the patrols were at their peak at night.

These patrols were all selected from the salt people, and most of them were recommended by Zhang Jiusi.

Zhang Jiusi, as long as he doesn't stand in a high position, is actually a very good person. He has brotherhood and is willing to donate money.

Jiang Gui said from the side: "The life is better now, and many new merchants have come here to sell grain."

Lin Yuan was a little surprised: "This is strange, there is still so much food outside?"

Jiang Gui: "Who knows, they always have a way, and there are some people who come to sell iron."

Lin Yuan was even more surprised now: "Where did you get the iron?"

Jiang Gui whispered, "I'm not sure about this, but I've seen it, and it's all pretty good."

In fact, iron can also be distinguished, some have more impurities, and some have less impurities.

The price is naturally different.

"It should be very expensive." Lin Yuan sighed. Fortunately, he has a lot of money now, otherwise it would be a real headache.

Jiang Gui shook her head with a smile: "It's cheap, I think, the merchant not only didn't make any money, but also lost a lot."

When Lin Yuan thought about it, he understood in his heart, and said with a smile, "Nature will give him some convenience."

This is not selling things, this is submitting certificates.

Each of these businessmen is better than a monkey.

Thanks to their monkey spirits, Lin Yuan is now under less pressure.

Lin Yuan said: "When the time comes, gather them together and prepare a banquet."

Jiang Gui understood: "It's natural."

He took their things, so he naturally wanted to give them some benefits.

This way the business can last for a long time.
