The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 271: The Northern Chapter is Authentic

She thought that after Mu Qingqiu had chosen her, she would experiment again. If she still couldn't "get something for nothing", she would just give all the money or things away. This idea was triggered by what Zhang Yue'er had asked her just now.

In fact, whether it is retired soldiers or the elderly, young, orphans, Dayu has very complete institutions and laws and regulations. Not to mention what General Zhao said before, Mu Qingqiu also told her later that Dayu established welfare institutions such as "Futianyuan", "Juyangyuan", "Ciyouju", and "Anjifang" to provide for the birth, aging, illness, and death of the people in order to provide for the elderly, the sick, the orphans, the poor, and the beggars. The state led the local rich to provide for the birth, aging, illness, and death of the people.

For example, the elderly over 50 years old can receive one liter of rice and 10 coins every five days. Those over 80 years old can receive new rice and firewood money; those over 90 years old can receive 20 coins for pickled vegetables every month, cloth clothes in summer and patched clothes and quilts in winter; those over 100 years old can receive 30 coins for meat and pickled vegetables every day, silk shirts and trousers in summer and cotton clothes and quilts in winter.

Orphans are raised by wet nurses employed by the state until they are fifteen years old, and those who want to go to school can be sent to school.

For those who are sick but cannot afford medical treatment, the state arranges doctors to treat them, and provides free medicine and accommodation, of course, also to prevent infectious diseases.

The funeral issue, which has been the most important issue in the hearts of the people since ancient times and has been "exacerbated" countless times in Dayu, is also the issue that almost caused Bai Tieying's original family to be destroyed and killed. In fact, the country also takes care of it.

Mu Qingqiu said that he had seen cases of "poverty caused by funerals" and "death caused by funerals" in the land-scarce areas in the south, but because there were many wealthy families in the south, many people, whether for fame or out of compassion, would not stand idly by and watch such things.

The reason why the villagers of Xianhe County worked so hard to help her family was because of the concept that had been formed for a long time. It was just that the people of Shang'an County were unlucky and had such a county magistrate, which made the original family and many people unable to seek help.

Bai Tieying also knew the part that Mu Qingqiu did not say explicitly. It was the prelude to the decline of a feudal dynasty, which must be corruption, corruption from top to bottom!

How long a feudal dynasty can stand depends on how many times it experiences "rejuvenation", because each normal "rejuvenation" can extend the life of a dynasty for a hundred years.

But the era in which Bai Tieying's original body lived had lasted nearly four hundred years. According to the laws of history that she had learned in her original life, Dayu might have entered a precarious period during her lifetime.

In fact, from a personal point of view, a peaceful era is conducive to survival. If Mu Qingqiu has any ideas, Bai Tieying is willing to help him for his own sake.

But this child is just a tall but not smart emperor. He has no interest in the throne or power. Apart from martial arts, he seems to be more interested in eating... Oh, no, under his influence, this child is also interested in money.

It's embarrassing for him to tell others. How can a royal family drool over some sable fur? ! ! Whose prince is so short-sighted? Oh, the old Mu family. I forgot that this child is still a "mama's boy". Whenever he sees something good, he thinks about giving it to his mother...

Bai Tieying was sighing here, while Mu Qingqiu was happy like a mouse entering a rice jar. It's not like he hasn't seen good things before, but seeing them can only be said to have broadened his horizons, not that he is not tempted by wealth. Even if the 17th generation of his family saw it, it would be difficult for him to say "I don't want it, because I have seen it, right?"

So he happily asked Bai Tieying and selected almost all the furs, including fifty top-quality deerskins, thirty top-quality sable skins, twenty top-quality fox skins of various colors, two black bear skins and the only tiger skin.

Bai Tieying left all the leftover furs. She also thought about going back to Xiang Chengjian to make some winter clothes for her family, but she didn't need more. She still felt that down and cotton were enough. Maybe wild boars couldn't eat fine bran, so she felt that fur was not something that ordinary people could use.

When she and Mu Qingqiu confirmed the ownership of the fur, the space she had been paying attention to really showed a prompt: Detected that the space owner has received unclaimed items: three sika deer skins, four velvety sable skins, and five top-quality five-color fox skins. Discount calculation in progress...

After a while, after a few lines of energy consumption prompts, it continued to write: The space holder received the unowned items, with a discount of seven thousand one hundred taels.

Bai Tieying patiently watched the screen for a while, and sure enough, he saw another line of reminder: The space holder has received unclaimed items, and there is no need to return them. There is no reward or punishment for this behavior. It is recommended that the space holder do more good deeds and not worry about the future.

Wow! This is the first time that this space is so "humane" and gives her "suggestions"? Is it targeting her? Are they afraid that she will open the door to looking for "unowned items"?

No, unclaimed items? Doesn't that mean that County Magistrate Xiao's family is really finished? No way? Did Manager He's wish come true so simply? Bai Tieying felt something was wrong, but Mu Qingqiu asked her about the distribution of other things, and Bai Tieying's thoughts were pulled out of the space.

"Tie Ying? What are you thinking about? I asked you how you plan to divide these herbs?"

"You know, I don't lack ginseng, ganoderma and other plant-based medicinal herbs that are available in the north, so they are all yours. You can give me half of the southern medicinal herbs or I will buy them at a discount;

Tiger bones and leopard bones, if you believe me, wait until my uncle has finished preparing them before you take half. Other medicinal methods are different. My wine can better extract the medicinal properties inside, so I dare to say: even your Imperial Hospital is not as good as my uncle's casual brewing;

As for the remaining rare and precious musk, bear gall, deer antler, bezoar, etc., we can just split it in half."

"Aren't you and I good brothers? What's the half and half? I think those old furs are what my mother is most proud of. If you don't want them, I will take them all. No one is taking care of them anyway, and it will be a pity if they go bad." Mu Qingqiu was in a very good mood and spoke in a sly northern dialect.

"But medicinal herbs are only for emergency use. No one expects to use them. They can only be most effective in the hands of a doctor. So except for what you have in your space, the rest are left to you. Anyway, you won't refuse to give them to me if I need them, right? Well, let's see how to divide these antique paintings!"

With his limited vision, Mu Qingqiu introduced to Bai Tieying what dynasty these antiques might be from and what their original uses were. As for the famous paintings, he only knew the signatures, but had no idea whether they were real or fake.
