Chapter 392 Change (4)
For ordinary people, reading books and newspapers is an unattainable thing and is unnecessary.
Around their own acre of land, they are busy and tired for the sake of their family's mouths, and their concern for national affairs is obviously a luxury and fantasy.
But every village built schools and every village had night schools, which gradually changed the inherent habits of the people.
Reading newspapers to students, explaining the new policies issued by the state, and the cultivation principles of new crops issued by the Liaodong government has become a fixed task for the school teachers.
Although they are not as professional as the government farming officials, the people have a better understanding after listening to it, and they can gain more fruits in farming. The new court policy also has an impact on life. The people are naturally willing to listen and use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
In addition to the preferential policies introduced by Jilin Prefecture and the emperor's suggestion that sheep and drink milk to be healthy, Zhang Zhuzi went to the city and brought news that the Liaodong conscript system was implemented.
"We will join the army in the future!" Yingzi was not surprised, because it was not related to his own affairs, and said with a smile: "It's good. There are many troops in Liaodong, so we don't worry about war."
Yingzi's father drank the porridge and said slowly: "Aged 16 to 18, the age stipulated by the court is very good. Half a young man, I am poor. I will be sent to the army and I will be more affordable at home and enjoy preferential policies after two years of retirement."
Zhang Zhuzi nodded, put the peeled eggs into his wife's bowl, and said, "The people should agree. Those rich people do not want their children to suffer in the army."
After pausing, Zhang Zhuzi added: "But this matter is really unconcealable. The government has set up a report box, and anyone who has deserted the military will report it, and there will be rewards."
Yingzi's father smiled and said, "This time I've pinched the cheaters and punished them hard to see if they dare."
Yingzi broke the eggs apart, but looked at his father and the man and showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Your health is the most important thing, you have eaten it." Yingzi's father knocked the bowl with chopsticks and said, "The sheep on credit are nothing. You can pay it back in a year. Don't worry about it all the time."
The naturalization of Mongolian tribes such as Neikalkha made the number of cattle and sheep transactions no longer limited to the shares stipulated by the court. This allowed the naturalized tribes to enjoy the benefits and the price reduction, and the people of Liaodong also benefited.
For example, the government launched sheep and cattle to be raised by credit, which are actually distributed to the people's homes, and after the deadline, they will return the same quantity.
In addition to cattle and sheep, there are also horses, which can also be used for credit. Like cattle, the term will be relaxed to three years, and only a symbolic collection of money will be collected every year.
The best way to make the country's finances increasingly abundant and make the people rich is to promote consumption, drive the development of industry and commerce, create more employment projects, etc. The emperor's ideas are broader than others and ahead of the curve.
The traditional society has developed to the point where men farm and women weave. Of course, it is okay not to change. Being backward is the sluggish development of the country and nation, lagging behind the trend of world development.
Zhang Zhuzi also nodded and said, "Even if we buy it, our family's money will be enough."
Yingzi's father glanced at Zhang Zhuzi and said, "It's appropriate to have a credit, I can calculate this account clearly."
"I'm not worried." Yingzi smiled and said, "I know, I'm sure I've listened to my father since I was a child."
Yingzi's father showed a look of pride and joy on his face. He put the bowls and chopsticks, and stood up and said, "I'll go to shed sheep and mow grass, and that mother stayed at home."
"It's noon, you can take a break before going." Zhang Zhuzi advised: "I'll go to the field in the afternoon and take a bus to go together."
Yingzi's father didn't turn his head back, and waved his hand while walking, saying, "That little road is here in a few steps, do you still need to take a bus?"
Zhang Zhuzi watched his father-in-law go out, turned around and smiled at his wife, tidily packed the table, and said, "I'll do this job, you can rest."
Yingzi didn't fight, sat back, leaned against the quilt and said with a smile: "In a few days, you can catch some more chicks."
"Okay." Zhang Zhuzi agreed happily and said, "Just wait until our old hen can hold the nest. You can raise your body first, don't worry."
Turning around and packing the dishes. When Zhang Zhuzi turned back, he handed them to Yingzi with a smile, and a fragrance came over.
"Soap?!" Yingzi's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it. He only knew it was right after a brief look. He couldn't help but look up and glanced at the man, and said angrily: "If we spend that money, our father will tell you again if we know."
Soap, soap, perfume and other products have been around for two or three years, but for ordinary people, they are still luxury goods.
Only soap is still sold at a large scale. However, when it was not popularized, the emperor believed that the arrival of this day was not too far away.
After working in a shop, Yingzi knew the price of this soap. She liked it in her heart and felt a little distressed.
Zhang Zhuzi laughed and said, "The shop was conducting a promotion and happened to see A Tao, and the price was much cheaper."
Yingzi blinked and stopped exploring it. She held it in front of her chest, sniffed the scent of jasmine, her eyes closed slightly, and she seemed very peaceful.
Zhang Zhuzi looked at it in a daze, his eyes slowly moved down, and his slightly raised belly gave birth to a new life, which made him feel excited and full of happiness whenever he thought of it.
That is the hope of the old Zhang family and the hope of the old Chen family.
After experiencing the unbearable war, he was the only one left in the Zhang family. Although he was full of hatred and was not afraid of death after joining the army. But now it is peaceful and he has the dream of a better life.
……………………………………………….
The dream of a better life is not just about the Liao people who have experienced wars. In fact, everyone wants, everyone hopes, and everyone is working hard.
However, since the third year of Tianqi, anyone who has taken the right path, whether it is officials, scholars, merchants, soldiers, or ordinary people, has gradually discovered that there will be greater hope for efforts.
You should know that the sad thing is not that you don’t work hard, but that you don’t change after working hard. You are not afraid of being poor, but that you are still poor after working hard is enough to suck your enthusiasm for struggle.
The rise of a country and nation is inseparable from the people's efforts. They are all confused and numb and rigid. What hope does the country have?
Therefore, the Ming Empire is still a great country, and it is still a great country, but from the inside out, it has changed too much in a few years.
Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, looked up at the magnificent Meridian Gate. Although he entered the palace many times, his feelings this time were very different.
As the first vassal to give up the title of vassal king, Zhu Youjian finally got his father's job.
It was really because Prince Tang was in poor health and did not consider his future very much, but instead focused all his attention on his son Zhu Youjian.
Since his son felt that giving up the title of vassal king would be more gain than loss, it was not easy for the prince of Tang to stick too much. The emperor's temper was so long that he had figured out a lot of things.
