Chapter 244 The Comfortable Life of the Common People in Dawei
Yunjie County, Jincheng County, Liangzhou.
It was originally the place where the Qiang people lived.
The Qiang people are rebellious and warlike by nature. Therefore, in the past decades, even hundreds of years, the area where the Qiang people live in Liangzhou has been repeatedly and unstable.
Even when Cao Yang first founded the country, the people here were still fierce and rebellious, and there were not many people who could read.
The local officials are also mostly rough people, who use ruthlessness to control ruthlessness, and use violence to control violence.
But a lot has changed here in recent months.
With the arrival of the imperial censor and the elite soldiers accompanying the Ministry of War, the corrupt officials here have been punished, and the people's disgust for the government has been reduced a lot. In between, Yunjie County became much more stable.
The majesty of the official government has been rebuilt, so that the official texts posted by the government have been read and read by the local people, and many people are flocking to them.
A few months ago, Jia Xu secretly instructed several distant relatives here to buy a lot of pigs. After a few months, the piglets have grown to three feet long, and it is a good time to eat suckling pigs!
The army of the imperial court fought in the Kushan Empire and lacked meat, so now they have begun to buy piglets in various counties.
Outside the Yunjie County Office, there was already a long queue today.
The county magistrate, Chen Changsheng, was the first batch of jurists selected by the imperial court, and was sent here to serve.
This person is quite talented, awakened a talent for begging for rain, and is quite honest. Now this person is diligently working for the court and collecting pigs for Cao Yang.
"This is the price set by the Imperial Household Department. If you don't believe it, you can ask the inspector! Ten copper coins per pound of pork!"
For ten copper coins, you can actually go to the restaurant to eat two bowls of noodles, and the price of meat is not high.
However, although Cao Yang is rich now, it is only funded by the imperial court and acquired on a large scale. This is also a huge expense. The price is too high and it is easy for the imperial court to fall into financial difficulties.
Moreover, this is pork that everyone despises, not mutton and horse meat. At this price, it is already very good!
A piglet weighs around 50 to 60 jin on average. After all, it costs about 500 yuan to buy a pig.
To the common people, five hundred dollars may not seem like much, but it is also a month's expenditure for ordinary people!
Many people bought ten or twenty piglets at the beginning, and now they sell them for thousands of coins.
"Sir, my family has eight heads.~!
"Sir, my family has fifteen heads, and they are all sold!"
Soon, the people of Yunjie County were scrambling to sell their little pigs.
The county magistrate was so happy that he could not close his mouth. Originally, the imperial court had given each county a task, and the minimum number could not be less than 500 heads.
"No one refuses! Don't be in a hurry, go back and bring the pig, and give money when you see the pig! Cash! 35
The county magistrate pointed at the copper coins that were piled up like a hill behind, and roared with great confidence.
So the people left quickly, and soon, they all rushed out with their little pigs.
After a pig was weighed, the price was calculated immediately, and every household immediately received copper coins.
Jia Xu's distant relatives, because they received Jia Xu's instructions in advance, felt that the news was reliable. Many people bought dozens of pigs, and now they are all carrying a few bags of copper money home, all beaming. How cool, how cool!
A few days later, this batch of piglets has been sent to the army of the Kuishan Empire and the Yunchao of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although the pork looks cheap, Cao Yang has already sent several pork recipes, together with these pork, there. Presumably The whole army will soon be deeply in love with this pork without the smell of fishy mutton.
In the future, eating pork will become a mainstream!
Who made the pigs have more cubs?
Who told pigs to eat everything!
If it is a sheep, it will only give birth to one or two at a time, while a pig can give birth to a dozen at a time!
The people of Yunjie quickly tasted the sweetness of raising pigs!
A few months ago, those commoners who were skeptical of the imperial court were now beating their chests and feet, watching their neighbors go home with bags of copper coins, and their eyes were about to bulge out of envy!
"Oh, I wish I had bought a pig!"
"Even if you buy ten or eight, you can make a lot of money!
"What a sin! Who would have thought that the imperial court would spend money on such a thing!
"My lord, are you out of your mind? This doesn't make sense!
However, just as these people were beating their chests and feet, the government issued another notice: they are starting to buy piglets again! Quantity is limited, first come first served! Old customers can increase the amount!
This time, this opportunity was seized by all the people of Yunjie County!
Even those local ruffians who used to be lazy and bullied others to get a little money have seen the hope of living a stable life and making big money!
In just one day's work, the little pigs in Yunjie County actually sold all of them!
With Xiaozhu, the people usually focus on this, and in Yunjie County, there are fewer quarrels.
In the past, idle time was boring, but now, these people have found something to do, who still has the spare time to quarrel and fight?
Unless, is the brain disease.
He really had nothing to do. In the county government office, the county magistrate, Chen Changsheng, insisted on giving lectures. Although the days were not long every day, it gave many people a chance to read.
Not to mention, there are more and more people who can recognize their own names recently.
Because the money bag is bulging, some aspiring young people who want to get a career and fame think that it is not enough to read books in the county government office every day, so they have the desire to buy books.
So I frequently asked the county magistrate about buying books.
Chen Changsheng was even more happy!
Selling books is also an item for the court to assess officials!
When the emperor was in Xudu, he printed a lot of books, and he wanted to let these books enter thousands of households!
At that time, not only can some of the money in the hands of the common people be recovered and reused, but also the background of the great Wei can be further increased, and more learned people will be obtained in the future!
As the saying goes, reading makes people sensible, and the more people who read, the more people will use normal means to solve some conflicts, instead of directly adding fists and feet, or even drawing swords against each other.
66 `A book, two hundred dollars!
Is it expensive?
too expensive!
The cost is only five copper coins!
However, these books used to be something that only big families had in the past!
Besides, they were all handwritten, scribbled and hard to read!
And now this book, with neat handwriting, can not only be read as a reference book, but also copied as a copybook. This is clearly a family heirloom Yang!
Two hundred dollars?
Actually not expensive!
Things like this are happening all over the place.
Cao Yang spent a lot of money to buy pigs, so that the people have income, and through selling books, he realized the return of funds, got pork, and books entered thousands of households, and he achieved multiple things with one fell swoop!
