After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Not long after, the new county magistrate took office.

What came with him was a new decree issued by Lu Yan.

Since learning that prices across Yizhou have skyrocketed, Lu Yan has sent people to visit many towns and investigate the true costs of various items. Based on the collected data, he has made a list of every necessities in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. A clear price guide is provided.

The law stipulates that the prices of such necessities in all shops in Yizhou can fluctuate up or down, but are not allowed to exceed [-]% of the government's guideline price.

Anyone who violates this will not only have to pay a heavy fine, but will also be imprisoned for ten days.

After hearing the news, the people clapped their hands and cheered!

"Great! Great! I just read it. The guide prices stipulated by the government are very reasonable. Even if I add [-]%, it is still acceptable! Finally, I can no longer be taken advantage of!"

"Really? That's great! I'll go take a look on the street now!"

"If someone continues to sell at high prices, don't forget to report them to the Yamen!"

"Mom, can I eat noodles now?" A child asked excitedly, pulling on his mother's clothes.

He didn't quite understand what the adults were saying, but he just knew in a vague way that he would no longer have to pretend to be full because he was worried about his mother getting hurt.

How could the woman not understand her child's thoughts? She immediately went home and got a cloth bag, counted the money in her hand, and said with a smile: "Mom, go to the grain store to buy flour. We will probably still have some money." You can buy some more eggs, and my mother will make egg noodles for you tonight!"

"Egg noodles?" The child drooled with excitement at the thought of the fragrant noodles and the bright yellow eggs.

Along the way, everyone was beaming with joy and the atmosphere was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

An old lady who finally bought affordable food clasped her hands and chanted piously into the air: "Thank God, thank God! Thank God, I can finally continue to live my life now."

Passers-by smiled and joked: "Auntie, what are you thanking God for? The one who is really doing things for us is Mr. Lu. We have to thank Mr. Lu!"

The old lady laughed and said, "Look at me, I'm such an old fool, we have to thank Mr. Lu! It's Mr. Lu who made us live a good life!"

But such happy days did not last long, and the people soon discovered that the profiteers had come up with new methods.

As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Whenever a law is promulgated, someone will always come up with some crooked ideas in an attempt to exploit loopholes in the law.

The manpower transferred from the capital had arrived one after another. When Shen Ruoyan was discussing with them how to show off their talents in Yizhou, a steward who went to the street to inspect came back with a sad face.

Seeing his appearance, a younger steward joked: "What's wrong, Lao Yang? Are you encountering some difficulty? You are the most experienced among us. If you are not sure, we can I have to back off too."

The man named Lao Yang rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "When it comes to business, I, Yang, have never been afraid of anyone. It's just..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Ruoyan, who was chatting animatedly with someone, and said resentfully: "I just walked around the street and found that no shop is properly implementing the decree issued by the young master!"

The young man thought that something big had happened. When he heard that it was the reason, he put his hands behind his head and said leisurely: "That's not easy to handle. Go to the Yamen and report him, and let the officials put them all in jail." Here, give it a good beating."

"But they don't break the law." Lao Yang said helplessly.

Shen Ruoyan was discussing the tastes of Yizhou locals with a restaurant manager, thinking about how to combine Yizhou's characteristics to create unique delicacies.After hearing their conversation, I turned around and asked curiously: "Tell me, what is going on?"

The manager told everything he saw on the street.

It turns out that since the promulgation of the law, various shops have indeed sold affordable goods according to the prescribed prices for several days. However, in the past few days, many shops have not replenished new goods after their shelves were sold out.

If someone comes up to ask, the shopkeeper will spread his hands and say that everything in his warehouse has been sold out and new goods have not arrived yet.

What's more, a rice shop stipulates that the shop only sells fifty kilograms of rice per day. How many people can be bought with fifty kilograms of rice?But this mere fifty kilograms of rice attracted hundreds of people to queue up. I heard that those at the front of the queue didn't dare to sleep last night, so they stood at the door of the shop and waited all night.

In the past, things were just expensive, but now you can't even buy them, which has caused widespread resentment among the people.

"They must have something on their hands, but they are hiding it and refusing to sell it." Thinking of the helpless eyes on the street, the manager sighed, "But what they did did not violate the law. The government There is nothing they can do to them and they cannot arrest them all. Are you angry?"

Shen Ruoyan nodded, understanding that this matter must be caused by the group of local gentry behind the scenes.

She heard her father say that every law always has imperfections, which requires some talented people with good conduct to implement it.

This is the so-called "even if there are good laws and good intentions, if the person does not implement them, it will lead to bad government;

Although it is not a good method, if only a wise person can practice it, half of the life will be saved.

If both people and laws are good, governance will be achieved. "

As Lu Yan's wife, Shen Ruoyan is willing to be this "good wife" and help him ensure the smooth implementation of this law.

Shen Ruoyan thought for a while, thinking about how to persuade everyone to cheer up.

The steward, who was still frowning just now, already rubbed his palms excitedly and said loudly: "Hey, but then again, their lack of cooperation is a good opportunity for us to gain a foothold in Yizhou!

Come on, come on, let's all come and discuss what we should do to open all the stores as quickly as possible? "

When everyone heard this, they all got excited and gathered together to express their thoughts. You come up with an idea, I share an idea. Everyone spoke freely, and within an hour a countermeasure was determined.

"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Lao Yang said to Shen Ruoyan with his hands on his hips and an energetic look, "Well, thank you, Madam, I'll go to Zhao's house for a run."

Shen Ruoyan was still immersed in the heated discussion just now. When she heard Lao Yang's words, she immediately waved her hand, "Don't be so polite. It's not hard work. It's not hard work."
