Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Second Hall of the Kunshan County Government Office.

    Mr. Zhao lamented for a while the difficulty of becoming an official, and then made a new request.

    ¡°Although the implementation of the new policy may not seem difficult, don¡¯t take it lightly. You must do a good job of checking for omissions. If you continue to travel on business, it will really be unjustifiable.¡±

    "Yes." He Xiancheng and others hurriedly responded respectfully, and they were all in a happy mood.  This year, when other counties implement new policies, they will all be in trouble. They don't have to suffer this. They are so lucky.

    "Then we will follow the original plan and shift the focus of Kunshan County's work this year from construction to production." Mr. Zhao started talking again, glanced at the audience and said: "This year, I have one request, and that is for the people of Kunshan  , no one can go out to beg for food!¡±

    "If these words were said in the past, all the officials would burst into laughter.  "Beggar Kunshan" has been called "Kunshan" for how many years. Is it a wasted reputation?  When the flood came, the people would carry their children and bedding on poles, carry strings and bamboo boards, and go out to beg for food.

    Wherever there are wells in Suzhou, Taicang, Songjiang, even Wuxi and Jiaxing, you can see beggars with Kunshan accents.  It has become a scene in Jiangnan.

    Who dared to say in the past that people in Kunshan should stop begging for food.  Everyone will think that he is crazy, doesn't want food, and will starve to death?

    But who could have imagined that, just six months later, the scene of beggars in Kunshan would become a swan song.

    It¡¯s not just the construction of the 300-mile embankment that will prevent Kunshan from flooding forever.  Moreover, the people in the county no longer have to worry about making a living.

    "You can rest assured about this. The labor force in Kunshan County is very tight this year, and no one will go out to beg for food." He Wenwei said with a look of relief: "Take off the label of 'Blogger Kunshan', your merits are immeasurable."

    "oh¡­¡­"

    Seeing the confused look on the elder's face, Bai Shouli hurriedly explained: "At the invitation of Chongming and Shanghai, Kunkaisi participated in the construction of seawalls in the two counties. In view of the fact that there are already a large number of skilled workers in the county, Kunkaisi has recruited more than 20,000 workers in the county.  . In addition, Suzhou and Taicang also wanted to invite Kunkaisi to participate in the construction, but the board of directors did not agree because of the actual situation in the county."

    "Yes, the companies under the Jiangnan Group started recruiting people in this county a few years ago. The dozen companies combined have almost hired more than 20,000 people. Now, 40,000 strong laborers have gone out This county  How much labor is there in total?" He Wenwei also added to the information he had, and then raised his concerns:

    ¡°There are not enough people to farm now.¡±

    "Second Master, don't worry. There are plenty of people in the south of the Yangtze River. It's not difficult to recruit people to farm the land." Bai Shouli said confidently.

    "Yeah." Mr. Zhao patted his forehead and remembered.  During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Hao talked to him about this matter.  But after working hard day and night for the past few days, my mind went blank and I completely forgot about it.

    Zhao Hao said that the biggest change brought about by the whipping method is that people can finally break away from the shackles of the land and freely choose their careers.

    As long as they make money, they can pay taxes, and of course they will move to industrial and commercial industries with higher remuneration.

    But one patch needs to be added to the whipping method, that is, the government must have means to keep food prices stable.  Otherwise, it is very likely that when farmers pay taxes, "the price of rice will hurt farmers."  When there is a shortage of money, the scene of ¡®rice is expensive and hurts the people¡¯.

    Because after the whipping law, farmers need to sell grain to pay taxes, so profiteers and evil gentry can take the opportunity to lower the price of grain and exchange for the common people's grain with very little silver.

    Later, you can use extremely high prices to exploit those citizens who do not farm.  Making money both inside and outside, but in the end it is the people who suffer.

    If no precautions are taken, this phenomenon will definitely happen, and eventually the whipping method that benefits the country and the people will turn into a bad method.

    So how to keep food prices stable?  The answer is to rebuild the Changping position.

    The Changpingcang system has a long history. In order to regulate grain prices, store grain for shortages, and supply food for the people, similar government-run granaries were set up in various counties.

    When the market price of grain is low, Changpingcang appropriately increases the price of grain and purchases large quantities.  When the market price of grain is high, the price should be appropriately lowered to prevent "price of rice from hurting farmers" and "price of rice from hurting people."

    This dynasty has set up a more complex reserve warehouse system based on the Changping warehouse Yes, the Xu family burned the Kunshan reserve warehouse last year.  However, because the operation is too complicated, the effect is not as good as a simple normal position.  Therefore, during the Chenghua period, it basically existed in name only.

    Zhao Hao has already made suggestions in this regard to Hai Rui, and Hai Gong also agreed. He said that he would order all governments to pay attention to the construction of Changpingcang and list it as a key assessment project.

    Of course, Mr. Zhao, who was worried about his old father, had already asked Wu Chengen to finish the job for him.  The ¡®overdone¡¯ reserve warehouse was rebuilt last autumn  He also borrowed money from the "Wuji Bank", the predecessor of Jiangnan Bank, and purchased 50,000 shi of autumn grain as a grain reserve for Changpingcang in Kunshan.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    ??~~

    Therefore, Mr. Zhao doesn¡¯t need to worry about this major event in each county this year

    Mr. Zhao thought to himself, let¡¯s build bridges and pave roads instead, right?  As a result, Kunkaisi has formulated a plan to complete the county's road network planning and road and bridge renovations within one year.

    ¡°Well, let¡¯s focus on education.  Jiang Jiaoyu, who also holds a position in Jiangnan Education Group, told him that this year Kunshan County will open five primary schools, one middle school, and one vocational school.  These schools will be jointly run with the county, so naturally they can all be counted as merits of the county.

    Jiang Jiaoyu also told Mr. Zhao that all children studying in school would not be charged tuition fees, and the school would also provide breakfast and lunch He told Zhao Shouzheng with tears in his eyes that the county's cultural and educational development is just around the corner!  As long as we continue according to the current plan, Kunshan, a beggar, will definitely become a veritable hometown of No. 1 scholar in the future!

    The implication is that we just cooperate and don¡¯t cause trouble to others

    The imperial court's assessment of the teachings was very simple, that is, how many people in the county were selected as scholars and how many people were selected as candidates.

    He begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and then he got Yufeng Academy to agree to accept students from the county school to study, but he never dared to offend others.

    Mr. Zhao smacked his lips and said depressedly: "Then we can only do charity. Have they done this too?"

    "That's not the case." Bai Shouli said hurriedly: "Kunkaisi is in business after all, and we have to rely on the big boss in this regard."

    In fact, in the clan society of Ming Dynasty, the lives of the people in the whole county are better, and there will be no abandoned old, weak, sick and young.

    "But Master Bai is not a fool, how can he further dampen the enthusiasm of the elder?"

    "Yes." Zhao Shouzheng said with a refreshed expression, "That's right. The people of this county have suffered for too long and have already become exhausted. We treat the situation by doing nothing and resting with the people. This can be regarded as the right medicine."

    "High, it's really high!" He Xiancheng and others gave thumbs up, thinking that it's no wonder he won the top prize. This theoretical level is really high.

    Finally, Mr. Zhao announced that doing a good job of escorting the entire county is the focus of this year¡¯s work.

    The Kunshan County Government¡¯s annual work arrangement meeting ended successfully.

    ps. I seem to have caught a cold from blowing the air conditioner last night. My throat was inflamed and my eyes were watering. I felt very uncomfortable all day. There are only two updates.  Hope tomorrow will be better.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
