After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Chapter 55 Taking Money from the Pocket of the Surname

The landowners in Li County and Shi County finally heard the results they wanted to hear, and they immediately smiled happily:

"Then I'll trouble Elder Zhao to contact the refugee army."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhao."

The three of them smiled at each other and raised their glasses.

Zhao Kuan raised his head and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

The people of Anping County have a different attitude towards Anping than these individual landlords and nobles.

Mu Qing gradually weakened the power of the landlords in Anping. She would not allow any hidden households to exist under her nose.

As for the reform of land tax, Mu Qing also plans to find a time to formally implement it.

The land belongs to the government, and the land tax is not collected as a poll tax, but is paid based on the amount of land owned and grain output.

Even the amount of tax paid will be based on the individual's income to establish a base amount for tax payment.

This is a change made by Mu Qing based on the Personal Income Tax Law, and in order to adapt to the times, Mu Qing did not take too big a step at once.

In order to encourage rice planting next year, Mu Qing has formulated a tax reduction policy. As long as the people grow good varieties of rice, they can enjoy tax reduction or exemption.

In this way, even if it is for the purpose of tax reduction, the people of Anping will choose to grow some rice.

The people of Anping are just like the people of Huangxian; they are easily satisfied.

After Mu Qing came to Anping, they could see with their own eyes that there were more and more jobs available in Anping. As long as there was work in Anping, they would not only get paid but also have two free meals.

In their opinion, even though Mu Qing did not have the documents of the common people, as long as he could feed them, they did not care who was the prefect.

Lord Mu is doing very well now.

The people of Anping had food to eat. After the refugee army was defeated, communications between counties returned to normal, and many people from Huang County went to Anping to do business.

They mostly sell some food.

Because Mu Qing ensured that they had enough food to eat, the people of Huang County had a natural filter towards Mu Qing.

Zhang San no longer works in the government fields. He has become a grain merchant, helping the government sell grain and earning more than doing farm work.

Now that he comes to Anping, as long as someone asks about Mu Qing, Zhang San will say good things about him for three days and three nights as if it were free.

This also made the people of Anping's attitude towards Mu Qing improve.

Zhang San is a gossipy person who loves to listen to all kinds of gossip. In Anping, everyone is happy to buy food from Zhang San.

And because Zhang San is from Huang County, everyone likes to inquire about the news in Huang County.

The people in Anping’s main city all know that Huang County is now better off than their Anping County.

According to the description of the people of Huang County, as long as they can work and farm, they can afford to eat white rice every day.

Moreover, the vegetables in Huangxian are big and juicy. Some even say that their rice yield per mu is 500 kilograms.

If nothing else, the rice harvest is real.

Otherwise, why would so many grain merchants come to Huang County? And looking at their rosy complexions, you can tell at a glance that they are not starving.

These sentences happen to Zhang San and are almost always part of his daily conversations.

"Zhang San, is there really a magical thing in Huang County that can make crops grow well?"

"Of course, this is something that the county magistrate made. The rice you bought yesterday was fertilized with soil.

The crops and vegetables that have been fertilized with soil, just use them, they will be lush and green, why would I lie to you?"

When passersby hear this, they will start asking how to buy soil fertilizer.

Although they may not completely believe what Zhang San says, some people will still buy some. It is not expensive anyway. If it doesn't work, they will just stop using it. If it works, they will make a profit.

In addition to Tufei, other frequently asked questions include Huangxian paper and snowflake salt.

Now in Anping, Huangxian is most famous for these two things.

They say that the paper from Huangxian is white and cheap, and the salt has no astringency at all.

Items from Huangxian were once circulated among the people in various counties of Anping.

Mu Qing will open branches of these factories in Anping one after another. They are not open yet, mainly because there are not enough management staff.

The first batch of graduates from the county school were the orphans adopted by Shen Moyan.

Mu Qing gave them names, taught them to read, and their thoughts were naturally influenced by Mu Qing.

Now some of the older orphans work as clerks in government offices, while others continue to study in Huangxian County School.

Just like in Huang County, Mu Qing began to recruit officials after arriving in Anping, and many female officials also entered the government to take up their posts.

There were many people in the Gongshu family, and most of them could read and do arithmetic. Mu Qing selected some of them to fill the vacancies of officials in the yamen.

Only then were some of the management talents transferred to manage other factories.

The first batch of products from the paper mill, salt factory and fertilizer factory were gradually sold on the shops on Anping's main street. The streets in Anping County were not so bad, as Mu Qing spent a large sum of money to buy almost all the shops.

A salt shop, soil and fertilizer ordering center, farm tool factory, and paper shop went online in Anping on the same day.

Since it was a new store opening, the people of Anping had been repairing canals and digging roads in the past few months and had made a lot of money.

Part of the money was kept to buy food, and part of it was kept at home in case of emergency.

Seeing that everyone was making about the same amount of money, Mu Qing put several shops online overnight.

According to the Keynesian theory of national income determination, changes in consumption will cause changes in national income in the same direction, and changes in savings will cause changes in national income in the opposite direction.

According to the opposite movement of national income, increasing savings will reduce national income and cause economic recession.

Reducing savings will increase national income and make the economy prosperous, which is a good situation. This contradiction is called the "paradox of thrift."

For Mu Qing, the natural thing is to get the economy flowing.

Mu Qing now has to revitalize the entire Anping market. She has limited money in her hands, and stimulating people's consumption can allow the money to flow back into her hands.

To encourage people to spend money boldly.

On the opening day of several shops, Mu Qing organized a big promotional event.

In addition to the original banners promoting women's independence on the main street, Mu Qing replaced the banners in front of each store with different content.

Early that morning, some people in Anping had just gotten out of bed, preparing to have breakfast and go to work.

The behavior of eating breakfast was also brought about by Mu Qing.

Because there is a lot of work in the factory, we only have two meals a day. If I don’t eat something in the morning, I will be very hungry.

These people were not very literate. Anping's literacy campaign had just begun and night school had just opened, so many people could only recognize a few words.

They immediately noticed the banner with words on it. They couldn't see the words clearly, but they were very sensitive to numbers.

After Mu Qing introduced Arabic numerals into the arithmetic of that era, the first lesson for all officials in the yamen must be mathematics.

These numbers are concise and easy to remember. Not only officials but also factory managers often deal with arithmetic at work.
