"Old Chen family, where are you going?"
The woman slung a bamboo basket across her shoulders and said with a smile, "I have two days off to pick wild vegetables."
The aunt said, "Wait for me! Let's go together!"
The two chatted and laughed. As soon as they climbed the top of the mountain, they saw someone building a bridge by the river between the two mountains.
"When this bridge is built, it will be much more convenient for us to go outside in the future! I used to think that I would have to ride an ox cart for two days."
In the past, who would have thought that the superiors would take care of these horned Gadas and build roads and bridges
That's something I didn't even dare to dream of. The people in their village may only go out of the village once a year and a half to go outside to exchange food and wild things for some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Now, the road in the village is open. Although it is not as fast as crossing the bridge, the distance from the previous two days has been shortened to one day.
Many young people in the village have found work in the town.
Old people farm at home, young people go to work in the town, the family life is better than ever.
The women also work in the town's laundry room. Because there are many people building roads, their dirty clothes are collected and washed together.
In a basket are the clothes of one class, and they can't be confused with others. They will mark it and send it back to know which is which.
The wages are paid by the imperial court, because the construction period is not clear, so it is paid on a daily basis, calculated according to the number of frames to be washed.
Two baskets are a penny.
At this time, the clothes are thin, and a woman can wash at least ten frames a day, which is five articles.
There are also 150 articles in a month.
What's more important is the laundry room, food and lodging, they are all net income.
How many people want to squeeze in.
The aunt picked wild vegetables: "You are lucky, you will not be recruited the next day."
The woman also felt that she was lucky, but she said seriously: "Maybe I will recruit people in the future."
The aunt shook her head: "The road is almost finished. The bridge repairer is on the opposite side, and the laundry room on the opposite side is also used."
The woman was taken aback.
This lucrative business is about to disappear.
"At that time... I should be able to find other jobs." The woman smiled with difficulty.
Since she went out to work, life at home has been much better. With her wages, the family can eat several meals of meat a month.
Although you can't eat meat all you can eat, it's a world of difference compared to the previous life.
The aunt said: "That's true, there is no shortage of work now. I heard that a big businessman is coming to build a factory to make knitwear!"
Woman: "What is knitwear?"
The aunt thought for a while: "I don't know either."
Knitwear is a new thing, and few people know what it is for.
Lin Yuan did not expect that someone would actually spin wool. The merchants saw a business opportunity. Sometimes the merchants also raised craftsmen, and even made knitwear such as sweaters. Although it is not industrialized, there is no way to carry out assembly line operations, but there is absolutely no way to hire workers. questionable.
And since the government has implemented the basic salary plus commission working model, businessmen have also learned from the past.
This can more mobilize the enthusiasm of the workers.
Of course, they lowered the base salary...
But it was not as low as the baseline set by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuanding's basic line is factory employees who work for a long time, and the basic salary cannot be lower than 50 yuan.
With the exception of probation, the maximum probation period cannot exceed three months. After three months, you can either turn into a regular employee or be dismissed. You don’t have to use the probation period to take advantage of the regular salary.
Of course, some people will lose their jobs.
But now the breeding industry has risen, and there are not a few people who raise pigs, chickens and geese.
Every local government must carry out a five-year plan, report to Lin Yuan, how to develop in these five years, and which direction to focus on. The local government must give him a clear direction and a general action plan.
But the good news is that the breeding industry and the handicraft industry are indeed moving forward step by step. Although it seems that the pace is not big, there are more factories appearing almost every six months.
In addition to infrastructure construction, these factories have provided many jobs.
In the first few years of the end of the troubled times, people were in a panic, and they had to find something for people to do before they could settle down.
Otherwise, people do not know what to do in fear and despair.
Lin Yuan is now focusing on agriculture.
Many old farmers have their own planting experience. What the local government has to do is to gather the old farmers, let them communicate, plant experimental fields, and then confirm whether their planting methods can be promoted according to the results of the experimental fields.
The water conservancy system has been deregulated, and the first phase of promotion is being carried out.
Although it seems that the effect is not large, it is indeed moving forward one step at a time.
There is also the military merit classification and death and injury compensation for soldiers.
This part of Lin Yuan was handed over to Song Shizhao and the others.
Lin Yuan receives countless reports and memorials every day, and officials seem to find that Lin Yuan prefers people who do practical work and pays more attention to people's livelihood.
The Civil Code is still being compiled, with Song Lian majoring in and Hanlin Academy assisting.
The people in the Hanlin Academy were the first batch of descendants of aristocratic families. Song Lian was better at employing people than Zhou Rong. At least no one in his hands was against civil law. Maybe some people were against it, but he was able to suppress it.
Zhou Rong is still too young, young people are more sharp-edged, more aggressive, but also easier to be dominated.
As for the dictionary - although Song Lian is still a major, he has spent much less effort on the dictionary than the Civil Code, and now he basically leaves it to his disciples.
Although they were the first batch of children from aristocratic families, they were not too young. Most of them had sons, and some even had grandchildren. The years gave them leniency and made them more cautious.
Meng He is one of them.
The Meng family is considered an aristocratic family, but it is the poor family of the aristocratic family. They rely on their ancestral land, and they don't even have a shop. There were not many servants in the family, so when the employment system was reformed before, almost nothing changed in his family.
Even the old servants did not leave.
After all, his sisters had to weave and cook since they were young, and he himself once went to the mountains to cut firewood in order to save firewood money.
The only thing that is stronger than ordinary people is that they can study.
The sisters are also literate.
At that time, he was able to enter the palace and face the saint because he had the cheek to follow him. Even if many people laughed at him, he did not flinch.
Because he knew this was the greatest opportunity he could ever have in his life.
The first batch of elected officials of the new emperor.
If there is no accident, the future will be better than the latter.
"Brother Meng, look at this one." The colleague pointed to a first draft on the paper and asked him to read, "How?"
Meng He looked over and saw that this article was written for merchants, but not merchants' merchants, but common people's.
It is the people who buy and sell goods with one surname as a merchant.
Meng He asked strangely, "One surname is a businessman?"
The colleague smiled and said: "Exactly, I see that many vendors work as a family and have never hired outsiders. Naturally, they are not businessmen, but they do business and should not be equal to merchants."
Meng He thought carefully: "That's true."
The colleague also said: "It is neither the same as the merchant, nor should the tax be the same."
Businessmen pay the highest taxes.
But if these small families also pay the same taxes as businessmen, their earnings will be too small to cover household expenses.
Then their path will be cut off.
In the end, it will lead to big businessmen with wealth to do business.
People can't even set up a stall and open a shop.
Meng He suddenly said, "Personal tax!"
The colleague looked at Meng He strangely: "What is the relationship between the two?"
Meng He's eyes lit up: "His Majesty has revised a tax, if a person earns ten points, the tax gets one point."
"The same can be said for commercial taxes!"
The colleague lowered his head in thought, and suddenly raised his head: "It makes sense!"
"When I revise this, let's go to Lord Song together!"
Song Lian is very busy. He has nearly a hundred people in his hands, and among these nearly a hundred people, there are also some wine bags and rice bags. They have seen nothing but a few inches of the sky above their heads in their lives, and they have learned only the principles of books in their lives. what to pursue.
They talk rhetorically, thinking that they can help the emperor govern the country, but he can't beat all these people out.
There are also many people who do things, but those who do things are either real noble families or impoverished families.
The two origins do not go all out to work together.
The codification of the Civil Code has been slow.
If only someone could help him.
Song Lian sighed.
He is also old now and lacks mental strength, but he has no successor. Even if he wants to bring people up, he can't find anyone who can convince the public.
Robben is now in the Penal Department. He is as busy as Song Lian. He wants to lead the compilation of "Criminal Law".
How is petty theft determined
What is the law for insulting a woman
How is murder determined? There are several types of homicide, intentional homicide, negligent homicide, excessive defense, etc. How are each determined
There are also wounding laws, minor injuries, moderate injuries and serious injuries.
Fraud and robbery, etc.
Robben wakes up every day with a mess in his head.
He didn't know that there was still so much content to be revised. Take murder as an example. In the past, it was killing for life. Some officials would investigate the reason, some would not, and no one would be wrong if they didn't.
After all, someone died, and the murderer should pay for it.
At this time, Robben would think of his teacher. If the teacher was there, he wouldn't have to be so tired.
But His Majesty sent more than ten letters of summons, and the teacher did not come to the call.
This year, the teacher... should be seventy, right
The teacher is now in Xinghua, Xinghua is now prosperous in business, and the people are prosperous. The teacher should be able to enjoy his old age there in peace, so why should he make him travel all the way to the capital
Robben rubbed his wrist. Since they used the "pencil" on their side, the wrist didn't hurt as easily as before.
Although the tip of the pen will always break due to excessive force, it can continue to be used as long as it is sharpened.
If you need to change it, you can wipe off the original traces just by wiping the cork lightly, which saves a lot of paper.
I heard that the students of the government schools are also using "pencils".
The child's arm strength is small, and he can't write serious words with a brush.
I heard that His Majesty wants to make a "pen".
Robben exhaled.
Many things appeared suddenly, but people did not panic, but quickly accepted them.
People are smart enough to know what's good and what's not.
When the pencil came out, there were also many people who opposed it, but since it was known that it was only for enlightenment to children, the objection became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
This is about boiled frogs in warm water, right
Rather than looking good, His Majesty wants to be "easy to use".
Good-looking calligraphy is a plus, but bad writing will not deduct points.
What Your Majesty wants is a person with real talent and practical knowledge who can benefit the people in the world.
