From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

After making a decision, Shao Yunchen asked Uncle Qiu to look around for farms.Now that it has been planted in recent years, it is best to finish the farm before next year's spring planting, otherwise the planting will be delayed for a year, so it is better to wait until this time next year to buy.

Most of Xishan Zhuangzi's production is distributed at the time of harvest, and the remaining part is distributed before the year, just for auspiciousness.When the county government is on holiday, the officials can bring back a lot of items, isn't it a pleasure for the body and mind?

The distribution ratio is set early in the morning, and depending on the position, the officials will get more or less.

As the highest-ranking official in Xilin County, Ji Xuanhe must be the first to receive supplies, followed by Xia Xiancheng and Fang Zhubu.Seeing these three people bring a bunch of things home, other low-ranking guards saw it, and if they said they were not envious or jealous, they were lying with their eyes open.But putting aside these private emotions, every official in the county government was smiling when they got their extra items.

The things that the officials get are getting more and more every year, which also means that their life is getting more and more prosperous every year.This is legitimate income, much more pleasant than taking those unconscionable money and things.

Unfortunately, from next year, Xishan Zhuangzi will have to pay taxes.There are many ways to avoid taxes, but they are attached to the county government. If you don’t pay taxes, you can easily be caught by others. It’s a pity, but it is very necessary to pay taxes to avoid disasters.All the officials and messengers agreed and agreed, but some sighs were still unavoidable when some of the things they got were leaked from their hands.

Although Zaoli did not belong to the humble family in the Jin Dynasty, their salaries were not high. The boxing gifts issued by the county government every year were an important part of their income.In the past, when Su Zhixian was in office, although there was not much deduction, things were only those stipulated by the court, and the subsidy for the family was limited.Now there are subsidies from Xishan Zhuangzi from time to time, and they can share an extra gift during the Chinese New Year. Zaoli's life is much better than before.

The New Year ceremony is the most important ceremony, Ji Xuanhe sent people to Linzhou Mansion to buy some practical items.There are not many officials in the county government, and most of them are soap slaves. To them, items that are too expensive are just flashy things, and they are not as useful as grain and cloth.

"Father, mother, look, it's good that my son got more things this year than last year!" Wang Wei was carrying big and small bags, like a moving small mountain bag, and people could barely see the way.

Hearing his son's joyful voice, not only Wang's father and Wang's wife, but everyone at home ran out of the room to see what happened.Today is the day when the county government distributes annual gifts, and everyone is looking forward to it.

"Wei'er, what are you sharing?" Mrs. Wang stepped forward to look through, not forgetting to ask the other juniors to help unload the things.

"Mother, here, a small bottle of sesame oil, a large bottle of soybean oil, a large piece of pork, a chicken and a duck, five catties of beef, a piece of meat sausage, ten catties of polished rice and white flour, a piece of coarse cotton cloth, and a piece of fine cotton cloth." horses, dozens of catties of coarse grains, and several catties of sweets and cakes, and other than that, there are also some odds and ends, which are a big pile.” Wang Wei pointed out the things he mentioned one by one while talking. Show it to your family.

Wang Wei is registered in front of Zhou Butou, his status is a little higher than that of ordinary catchers, and the things he gets are better.Even so, his salary was very limited.It's okay to support two or three families, but if you have more, you have to live frugally.Fortunately, most members of the Wang family are hardworking enough to live a decent life.

Since Xishan Zhuangzi began to reap the benefits, the life of the Wang family has gradually become easier.Because the magistrate of Su County is relatively honest and upright, the officials below have some rules and regulations, at least they dare not do things blatantly and bullying others.

In the past, if the Wang family wanted to eat a meal of meat, they had to think carefully about it.It's good now, the huge pile of meat in the main room dazzled everyone's eyes, and the corners of the children's greedy mouths seemed to hang.

"Mom, we have a lot of mutton here, so I didn't choose it. I ordered cheaper pork, so that the children can eat a few more meals." Wang Wei explained.

"Wei'er, the price of beef is higher, why don't you replace it with beef?" Papa Wang asked suspiciously, smoking a pipe.

"Isn't it true that my family has never eaten beef? I picked it for everyone to try. The beef tastes good." Wang Wei ate it in the county government, but he didn't have the nerve to take it home. There is beef in the annual ceremony, so I chose this without saying a word.The annual gift distributed by the county government this year is to draw up optional items in advance for them to choose by themselves. After the confirmation is completed, they will start buying according to each person's choice.

Chicken, duck, pork, no matter how poor people are, there is always a time to taste it, mutton and beef may not be.Some people may never have the chance to eat it in their entire lives. It’s not that they can’t even afford a single cent, but that no one wants to eat these expensive meats when their family is in a bad situation. Even if they are greedy, they just want some pork eat.

"Wei'er, how do you eat this beef?" Mrs. Wang picked up the piece of beef with a worried look on her face.

"Mother, my son asked how to make it. You can cook it like stewed pork, or stir-fry it like fried pork slices. We have a lot of families, so let's add some potatoes or taro to stew, so that we can eat more meals." Wang Wei suggested so.

"Success, just follow Wei'er's instructions. Daughters-in-law, collect your things, put grain, oil and meat in the kitchen, make fabrics for the younger ones, one coat for the older ones, and make a coat for the old man and the sons. Coats, if there are more, our mothers will be new again." Mrs. Wang distributed the things one by one, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, not to mention the children and daughter-in-law, even the dark faces of the sons could see joy.In the Wang family, only Wang Wei works as a policeman in the county government office, and the others also do odd jobs. In a year, at most, they can buy new clothes for a few people. There has never been a time when almost the whole family has new clothes to wear.

Officials have great power, high salaries, and enough oil and water. Even if they get more things, it is just icing on the cake for them.This is not the case for servants. Their salaries are low, and they have few opportunities to earn extra money. The extra annual gifts account for a large proportion of their lives.If these are missing, for them, it is no less than a reduction in the quality of life.

Even for the sake of sharing more of Xishan Zhuangzi's production, they will strongly support Ji Xuanhe.Without Jizhi County, how could they have a good life now?I didn't see that the guards like to run to Xishanzhuangzi when they are free?Don't look at them, they don't worry.

"Xuanhe, the Xishan Villa is well organized. Not only has a large number of poor people been arranged, but even the servants are very grateful to you." Shao Yunchen looked at the news sent by Qi Shan, his eyes lit up a little.

"What's written on it? Let me see." Ji Xuanhe took a look at the booklet and couldn't help laughing.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, some people in Ji's Workshop encountered some servants who had returned home with New Year's gifts, and reported their performance to Qi Shan, and finally the news reached Ji Xuan and his husband and wife.

"Xuanhe, the prefect of Fujian sent a gift, so should we give it to King An?" Shao Yunchen couldn't make up his mind.

"Don't give it away yet. Although we guess that King An should have some impressions of me, it is not very beneficial to come here for no reason." Ji Xuanhe thought again and again, and still felt that it would be better to let nature take its course.Since Wang An ignored him, there was no need for him to catch up with him.

"Success, it's up to you." Shao Yunchen had no objection, "That's fine, if you save money, it will cause problems instead. Maybe it's still a problem whether our things can be delivered to King An."

"Yunchen, do you think we'll be like this in the future? Like rootless duckweed, floating around without landing, it's nothing after all." Ji Xuan and himself don't care, he thinks more about the future.

"Oh, this, I don't have any thoughts at the moment. We don't have any choice now, we will think about it later when we settle down, what do you think?" Shao Yunchen did the same thing.Seeing the world at peace now, it is actually like a frying pan, it will explode at one point, it depends on when it will be detonated, and it will be good to be able to protect itself by then, there is nothing else they can do.

"You're right, I was thinking too much. We have limited abilities, and now we can only take one step at a time. No matter how much we ask for, we will force it." Ji Xuanhe thought he was smart, but he couldn't resist the general trend.

"Xuanhe, I originally wanted to send people to Kangping County to have a look, but after thinking about it, I forgot it. Now it seems that there is no war, but the law and order are not as good as before, and the danger of sending people out has greatly increased. There are fewer people to send. It's safe, sending too many wastes of money, and there is no guarantee that they can return smoothly, and if they are detained, it will be a storm." Shao Yunchen said that he didn't feel sad at all about the farm shop in Kangping County. If there is no definite news, he will always try.

"Yunchen, don't bother about this. I believe that my second uncle will take care of it. Even if all the farms and shops are lost, the family has a lot of money. Our family can afford this loss." It's okay not to say, but to say Speaking of this, the smile on Ji Xuanhe's face also disappeared a lot.In the Jin Dynasty, these are too uncertain. As long as the superior is not happy, he can confiscate the family property of the subordinates at will, and he cannot appeal, let alone complain. Thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable. No wonder everyone wants to climb up. .

"Xuanhe, I have drawn some new drawings, take a look." Shao Yunchen didn't talk about this topic again, if he doesn't want to be controlled by others, the only way is to become the king.Whether it is to be a low-level official, or strive to climb the ranks, become an extremely powerful minister, or even start a dynasty, there must be a suitable opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult for them to make a difference on their own.

"What kind of machine is this?" Ji Xuanhe looked at the pattern in his hand, very curious.

"Spinning machines and looms." Shao Yunchen began to talk eloquently, "After coming here, there are dedicated servants to do the rough work. Mother Duan and the others have a lot of leisure time. The yarn has been woven, so I applied for the purchase of a spinning machine and a loom. I saw that it was fresh, so I went up and tried it out. I felt that the speed of spinning and weaving was not fast, so I wondered whether it could be improved. I pondered for a long time , I just drew these two blueprints, do you think it is feasible?"

"Whether it will work or not, I don't know. It's not urgent. Let Uncle Qiu buy a few craftsmen and come back. Let them make a look at the time and you'll know?" Ji Xuanhe didn't expect Shao Yunchen's hobbies to be so extensive. He doesn't know much about these machines, but he won't hurt Shao Yunchen's self-confidence.
