Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 978
[Chapter 603]
When Li Longji heard the answers from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he immediately understood that he was thinking wrong. The profits made by Xiaobei and their amusement park projects were definitely high and the proportion was high.
Otherwise, the two of them admitted it just now. In this case, they didn’t say the right thing, and they didn’t want to directly deny their words, so they gave such an answer.
“I don’t believe it anymore, I can’t think of it, everyone continues to think about it, it’s nothing more than a money issue.” Li Longji said angrily, and thought hard again, looking very serious.
The others also thought along, that no one bothered Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan anymore.
Li Longji didn’t know how much loss he caused to the generals after he arrived in Wang Juan’s room.
The generals all thought that the emperor was talking to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so the two of them must not be able to focus on the battle, so there was a little gloating in their hearts.
But it was this kind of thinking that made them slack off, especially the people in charge of the specific battalions and teams below. They had nothing to do. Only the brigade that went ashore was relatively busy, but they still didn’t see anything. enemy.
In this state of being unable to get nervous, they will be slower to react when faced with sudden events.
Just in the Lotus Garden, when all the people were thinking about their own affairs and busy with their own arrangements, Xiaobei and the others had already arrived at the Old Willow Village.
Liu Feifei was picked up by the train from Hongnong. When she saw the nine Xiaobei people, Liu Feifei, who had been living with fear these days, felt much more at ease.
She didn’t believe that in Datang, there were officials who could compete with Xiaobei and the others. Xiaobei got off the train and gave Liu Feifei a hug, but she was short and could only wrap it above Liu Feifei’s waist. less than shoulders.
“Sister Feifei, don’t worry, I have arranged for someone to protect your brother. I guess it is almost done now. We plan to let him out, as long as he stays inside and doesn’t suffer or suffer.
Then when I go there, I want to see how the local officials in Jiangzhou explained to me, they should be very honest, but who made the economy develop too fast, everyone started to make small calculations .
Xiaobei knew what
Liu Feifei cared about most, so she said what Liu Feifei wanted to hear the most as soon as they met.
Sure enough, Liu Feifei had a sweet smile on her face, nodded, and said, “Since the If you say it’s okay, then it’s absolutely okay. I believe your people over there can protect my good brother.
Let’s go, more people from your family come this time.
”
My mother is here, so there are more people protecting the kimono. I’ll introduce you, come, come with me.”
Xiao Bei took Liu Feifei’s hand and dragged him to the train. After waiting for a while, her mother and Xiao Yuan’s mother came down. As soon as they came, Zhang Wang said to Xiao Bei.
“What are you running for?”
The guards are not finished yet, so you run down, what should I do if something goes wrong?
”
Impossible, how could there be an accident, mother, and auntie, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Feifei from Lao Liushu Village. It was her brother who went to other places to help us sell things, and was given by the yamen there.” Catch it, Sister Feifei, this is my mother, this is my aunt, and this is Xiaoyuan’s mother.
” Xiao Bei
didn’t answer what her mother just said, but started to introduce them to both parties.
Liu Feifei naturally got the good treatment she should have. She was pulled by two elders to ask this question and that, and she also got a lot of gifts. I couldn’t stop, so I had to let people continue to help this place first, and then the group walked towards Lao Liushu Village.
When passing through the county seat of Hongnong County, Xiaobei also made some comparisons, and now the current county seat is better than before. Now, especially the amusement park that is to be compensated for them is under construction.
She is looking forward to building it soon, and then playing by herself first.
Then Xiaobei and the other eight people got together and came up with a use Half of the profits in exchange for taxes.
Now they are almost at Old Willow Village, and the road under their feet is many times better than the last time. The main reason is that the water passed here last time, and some places had to wade in the water to pass.
Now it’s all cement roads.
“Sister Feifei, how is life in the village now?” Xiaobei asked Liu Feifei, who was in front of her, while looking at the scene of stepping back a little outside while sitting in the car.
“Life is much better than before. Since the last time I went to Hongnong to help with basket weaving or something, our village has become famous. Many wealthy people want to buy baskets, and they will ask for the baskets from our Lao Liushu Village.” It is strong and durable.
You know willow, even if it is a wicker, it can grow on the ground, so we compiled a lot of various things, not only people from Hongnong buy, we put a lot of They were piled up and sent by train once, and it happened to be delivered to Luoyang.
Our house has changed its appearance, it is no longer the short and flimsy mud house you saw last time, and now we use it I bought bricks and cement, and hired the builders to repair them. When the
builders saw that it was our village, they didn’t charge for the craftsmanship. They just ate the food we cooked, and we cooked a lot for them. It
‘s delicious.”
Liu Feifei said while drawing a picture, looking very excited, with a smile on her face.
Xiao Bei nodded sharply, and was also happy: “That’s great, isn’t it a two-story building? Since it’s a clank building to build, I’ll definitely suggest building a second-story building for your family.”
“Yes, yes. , two floors, I live on the upper floor, and I can see far from the top, and now at my house, we don’t have to go out to buy things by ourselves, and someone will transport the things to the other side of the bridge, there Waiting for us to buy.”
Liu Feifei also nodded, and then talked about all kinds of interesting things.
Xiaobei listened carefully and learned the changes here from Liu Feifei.
First of all, Lao Liushu Village has not suffered any losses during the disaster. In addition, he has made a lot of money by helping work in the past. At the same time, he has also helped the willow business in the village to gain a reputation.
As a result, their willow weaving made more money. Now, unless they directly organize the train to transport a car, they will not sell it elsewhere.
It’s all bought by others, and then sold elsewhere for money. To say this willow weaving, the craftsmanship of Old Willow Village is really good, but it doesn’t make many people willing to buy it.
People can make it up by themselves, even if it doesn’t look so beautiful on the outside, it’s enough to use it. Does the basket for picking manure need to be more gorgeous?
The reason why more people are willing to buy willows from Lao Liushu Village is that they saved people’s lives when they helped Hongnong rebuild.
It was a man who went up to the top of the third floor of a restaurant and was working there, and suddenly fell from the top accidentally. The moment he fell, he grabbed a wicker basket.
As a result, he put the basket under his body, except that he was sweating from fright, but he didn’t have anything, and there was not a single small wound.
Then everyone went to look at the basket, and the basket had only slightly changed its shape, and it returned to its original shape with the pedals, and the wicker did not break.
Everyone took turns to look at the basket. The wicker that is now used to weave the basket is very tough, the weave is very fine, and the outer surface is also very smooth, and there are no thorns at all.
This is really a good basket. Otherwise, how could it save a life? Everyone will ask, who made the basket?
After I asked, I found out that it was someone from Lao Liushu Village who provided it.
From that moment on, the willow weaving in Lao Liushu Village became famous, with good materials, good workmanship, and auspiciousness.
In this way, as long as there are people around who want to buy a basket, baskets, etc., they will choose the products of Lao Liushu Village.
If there is demand, there will naturally be production. The people in Lao Liushu Village are basically busy every day, busy with various things, and when a merchant comes over, they are waiting for the people in Lao Liushu Village to pick up the things they want to sell. Come here, they give money to buy it directly.
There are many merchants coming, but the number of products in the village is limited, so there are many merchants waiting, but there are very few that can really be bought.
As soon as a smart businessman saw this situation, he simply stopped accepting willow weaving. He hired a few people as buddies and began to sell soup cakes, noodles, wontons, etc., and the noodles were bought directly in the old willow village. There are also shredded cucumbers sprinkled on top and other things, which are also bought in the village.
The village has its own seeds, which makes the businessman’s business very good.
When other merchants saw it, they also tried to find a way. Not only did they buy things from Lao Liushu Village, but the things that were not in the village were also brought from outside. When people in the village came out to sell and play willow, they would naturally take a look at other things.
So in winter, a market appeared outside the old willow village, and when the day came, the market became more prosperous.
Xiaobei and the nine people were very happy to hear it. As long as the village is good, they are happy in their hearts, but the two adults, their mother heard a lot of things from it, and even recalled things from a long time ago.
At that time, although the Zhang and Wang Zhuangzi could still live a normal life, it was definitely not that good. Compared with the current situation, it was a world of difference.
Later, it was Xiaobao and Juanjuan, who helped the exhibition a little bit. First, there was a market, and then they kept going out to make things. All kinds of good things were made.
Up to now, Sanshui County is no different from his own family. Zhuangzizhong can find a family at random and put it in an ordinary place. It is a local wealthy family.
“Whether the life in a place is good or not, you just need to see if there is a market and what is being sold in the market. Xiaobei, you should ask the officials of various places to often visit the markets in the places under their control. .
Only from the market can we know what the local people lack, what their living habits are, etc., instead of checking the various accounts reported in the newspapers, as well as the tax catalog, because many markets are organized by themselves and do not collect taxes.
”
Xiao Bei’s mother, Zhang Wangshi, thought about the past and what she wanted to see now, analyzed it, and said
to Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei nodded again and again: “That is, don’t sit idle in the office all day long, How good is it to go out for a walk? A real local official should be a qualified farmer when he sees the land, a qualified businessman when he sees a business, and a qualified businessman when he sees a tool, even if he is not required to make it , he must at least know the truth of tool making and use.
In this way, he can really be a parent and official for the people, instead of staying in the yamen every day. I decided to go back and discuss it with the uncle of the emperor, and let the uncle of the emperor inform the review of the bureau of officials.
Don’t just focus on the local officials governing the place, how much tax you have paid this year, because sometimes, tax exemption is the best thing to do, giving people an opportunity to show their savings.
Exempting them from tax for two years, maybe the amount of local finances in these two years is small, which makes people look bad, but two years later, the people used this tax-free money to buy good tools, or to do business, show Get up, then this area will naturally have money.
”
Zhang Wang listened to V’er’s analysis so thoroughly, and the smile on his face was even more prosperous. Who can understand so much of other children’s children at such a young age? Except for Xiaobao and Juanjuan, it seems that they have never seen them before.
“Xiaoyuan, you also talk about it
.
“Xiaoyuan’s mother saw that Xiaobei said it well, and immediately let her son show off.
Xiaoyuan was very helpless: “What is there to say, it’s not that some officials always want to be promoted, for example, Sanshui County, this year His financial income has doubled, so when he is evaluated by the Ministry of Personnel, he will be given an upper class, and he will be promoted.
So the second official who came to Sanshui County saw that it was so easy to be promoted. Well, he began to sell the original things in the county, for example, there was a piece of land, he sold it at a low price, the original land value Ten thousand, he sold five thousand.
Then he waited, and when the evaluation was about to take place, he made a random name and turned the 2,000 yuan into the local financial revenue, but the land was not written, but a special evaluation was made, and a piece of Well, it turned into a waste field, and the account was sold for a thousand pieces.
As a result, the Ministry of Officials assessed that the fiscal revenue of Sanshui County has increased this year, and the new magistrate has also risen. In this way, a wave of magistrates have tried to sell things in the county, just to create a kind of situation. The illusion of increased fiscal revenue.
In fact, every official promotion will cause great harm to the people of Sanshui County. When one day the people can’t bear it, then Sanshui County will no longer be an upper county, but will fall to the level of a lower county.
”
“Hmm!
Yes, my mother thinks it makes sense, then you should tell your majesty that in the future, instead of evaluating the financial revenue of that place, it will also be included in the consumption of local resources. Which official consumes the least local resources and gets the The higher the income, the higher the ranking.
Xiaoyuan’s mother ,
Xiaoyuan’s head, boasted and analyzed it.
Liu Feifei kept nodding and said, “It’s like this, because of this year’s flood, Hongnong County was exempted Two years of endowment and taxes, my father said, we can save a lot in these two years, and then use it to fill in the depression in front of us.
In this way, we will have more land to plant willow trees. When the willow trees grow up, the forest will be valuable. My father also plans to set up a school in the village, a willow weaving school, to teach those who are willing to learn willow weaving.
At the same time, the people in the village can continue to think about how to weave the wicker into something more beautiful, so that the wicker is not only a tool that can be used, but also….become…..
”
To be art, isn’t it?”
In that case, it is estimated that your willow weaving in Lao Liushu Village can become a pillar industry in Hongnong.
”
Xiao Bei took the conversation and said.
“Yes.” Liu Feifei glanced at the willow tree by the road outside, smiled happily, and said, “That’s it, but if we can’t avoid paying taxes for two years, we have to borrow money, and we need everyone in a village to earn money. Only the money can be concentrated to buy that large depression.
That’s what you said just now, officials should not always focus on a little profit in front of them, give the people a time to accumulate, and then the people will return more taxes to the government. It
‘s like laying eggs, staring at the immediate benefit is to eat the eggs directly, for the long-term plan in the future, keep the eggs to hatch small eggs, and when there are more eggs, there will be more eggs.”
“Yeah, what Sister Feifei said. Great, I want to say to the uncle of the emperor, I will give you credit, let’s bear it for a while, eat less eggs, and raise more jī, the uncle of the emperor has so much money, what are you throwing in the bank, why don’t you take it out and raise jī, in the future Eat a
lot of eggs.”
Xiao Bei’s eyes were bright, and he wished he could fly back to the capital immediately and tell the emperor’s uncle what he saw and heard on the way today.
Liu Feifei was very embarrassed to be praised by Xiaobei, her face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head and whispered: “It’s just chatting with you, what’s the credit?”
“Yes, chatting is different from chatting, we chat, we can directly absolute Tang Dynasty. A lot of important things, because I can find the emperor’s uncle, as long as I have a reason, the emperor’s uncle will accept it. I think about it, let the emperor’s uncle also give you an official.
First, you will be a loose official. Learn more, and then give you an official with real power. Otherwise, you will be given a position of real power at the beginning. If you do it wrong, it will cause losses.
Yes, just do it. Anyway, the uncle of the emperor has a lot of officials in his hands.”
Xiaobei While speaking, Liu Feifei’s official position was decided. As for what it is and how many grades it is, Xiaobei still doesn’t know, and he will have to wait until he sees the emperor’s uncle to ask.
Liu Feifei was startled, and at the same time couldn’t believe it, she was now an official?
I was still a child, and immediately became nervous: “I, I won’t be an official, I don’t know anything, Xiaobei, I’m afraid, don’t let me be, okay?”
“If you don’t know how to learn to be quilted, it’s not too difficult. If others can do it, we can do it. I guess some officials are not as good as you. They only know how to take the imperial examinations, and when they really do practical things, they are confused. , give it all to others, such an official, anyone can be, you listen to me, I really can’t, I will teach you, I will ask my brother and sister if I can’t.”
Xiaobei continued to persuade.
Liu Feifei did not refuse this time, but her eyes were wide open, but her eyes were very erratic. When she watched the same things outside move in the opposite direction as the car moved, she fantasized about what she would do when she became an official in the future. .
It wasn’t until she heard all kinds of loud noises from the market in front of Lao Liushu Village that Liu Feifei woke up from her fantasy, smiled and said,
“If I become an official, I will repair the market first. Repair, at least the drainage ditch must be repaired, and you can’t just pour water on the ground, yes, just do such a small thing first, I won’t do a big thing.” F
