Flatterer.
Jin Zhubu and Shi Dianli deeply despised Lin Xiancheng and did not want to be associated with him.
Jin Zhubu is more concerned about the students' affairs, and he is really powerless when it comes to making money.
"Sir, the school is complete. It's time to enroll students."
"No rush." Xu Jing felt that this matter could be dealt with after the top ten shops were completed.
But Jin Zhubu was anxious.
Jianzhou is a barren land, and for three consecutive years, there has not been a single successful candidate. This is related to the fate of Jianzhou students.
Jin Zhubu thought, no matter how important making money is, it's not as important as achieving political achievements. Don't put the cart before the horse.
Xu Jing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who will help you build Jianzhou if you don't have money? Don't think that just because the academy is built is the end of the matter. Do you want to invite the great scholar for free?"
Jin Zhubu's eyes lit up and he said, "Your Excellency, do you want to find some better teachers for the students?"
"Of course. If you want outstanding political achievements, you have to spend a lot of money. How can I look down on an ordinary gentleman?"
Xu Jing said: "It must be a famous teacher to bring out outstanding students."
"Your Excellency is absolutely right. But when will we invite the famous teacher?"
Xu Jing said, "Once the top ten shops are completed and Jianzhou becomes famous, I will personally invite them."
A smile appeared on Jin Zhubu's wrinkled face. "Thank you for your help, sir."
"Okay, but Shi Dianli must ensure that public security is maintained during the competition. Otherwise, it will affect Jianzhou's reputation, understand?"
Shi Dianli nodded and patted his chest to indicate that he would take care of the matter.
Within two days, the notice compiled by the clerk was posted on the bulletin board at the city gate.
"Hey bro, could you please help me see what's written on it?"
There was a group of common people gathered together, but few of them could read.
People all like to join in the fun, especially things posted by government offices that attract the most attention.
At first, the government posted a notice to recruit female workers in garment factories.
The refugees outside the door really benefited from it. I heard that they not only filled their stomachs, but also had a place to live.
The impoverished people of Jianzhou were so envious that they couldn't sleep that night. The next morning, they rushed to the garment workshop to see if they still needed workers. They didn't get any of the benefits, and they regretted it to death.
Less than a month later, the government posted another notice. The garment workshop was expanding its staff. This time, not only were two meals provided, but a small amount of money was also given as a stipend, provided that the worker knew how to sew.
Now the people of Jianzhou could no longer sit still. Those who knew needlework were eager to go to the government to register, waiting to be selected so that they could eat meat to satisfy their appetite at the end of the year.
After receiving two substantial subsidies, the common people had a very good impression of Jiang Zhizhou. Whether at home or out and about, they regarded Jiang Zhizhou as the God of Wealth, expressing their genuine gratitude.
The women had money and became more assertive. They were not soft-hearted when beating men, which made the men restless.
As luck would have it, the government had issued another notice. Bathhouse workers were wanted, this time both men and women were welcome, but mostly men were wanted.
The men were responsible for chopping wood, firing the boiler, fetching water, and scrubbing backs. The women were responsible for boiling water and scrubbing backs. The wages weren't high, but they provided food and lodging.
After experiencing two "reforms", men could no longer hold back and went to the government to register, intending to "avenge their previous shame" and restore the status of men at home.
The government gave money in real money and never delayed or defaulted on a debt.
The common people were very grateful to Jiang Zhizhou and treated him with respect and filial piety as if he were their adopted parent. Some people even beat him up if they said something bad about him.
Unexpectedly, in the past six months or so, Xu Jing has defeated the previous county magistrates with money.
Whoever gives money is the boss. The result of teaching a man to fish satisfies everyone.
Seeing that Jianzhou's garment factory had opened three branches and was performing better and better, the woman became extremely grateful to Jiang Zhizhou. She changed from praying for the Bodhisattva to bless the whole family every day to praying for Jiang Zhizhou to live a safe life and that he stay in Jianzhou forever so that they could live a good life.
The bathhouse business is also becoming more and more prosperous.
After discussing with several merchants, Xu Jing distributed the surplus labor to various bathhouses and even made a unified division of the monthly wages for the migrant workers.
Different classes get different salaries, and there are differences in monthly wages depending on how much work you do.
It is no longer limited to situations where outsiders contract out the business and deduct the hard-earned money of migrant workers.
The migrant workers were also grateful to Jiang Zhizhou. In the past, they were unhappy because some people were lazy and did not work but still received the same salary.
Now that the government has intervened, the amount is what it should be. The more you work, the more you get. Distribution is based on need.
Originally, the family of four could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year. Thanks to Governor Jiang, they could now enjoy meat during every festival.
The Gentiles saw it and were anxious in their hearts.
The Jiannu people, in particular, could not stand seeing others doing well, and instigated some lawless elements to cause trouble.
I didn’t expect that Jianzhou is no longer the Muhe County of yesterday. The public security alone is convincing enough.
Shi Dianli ordered his men to arrest several troublemakers on the spot and send them to labor reform.
The prison was also reformed by Xu Jing.
The prison was originally lifeless, and the inmates were lifeless all day long, and had no energy to work.
Since the reform, the prisoners recite slogans to boost their morale before breakfast every day, then run to strengthen their exercise, and then go to eat breakfast and work after running to wake themselves up.
The weekly brainwashing sessions made the most vicious criminals realize the magnitude of their wrongdoings, and they turned over a new leaf.
After two months of governance, with the exception of a few rebellious individuals who refused to obey Jiang Zhizhou's orders, the rest of the people still recognized Jiang Zhizhou. Some even wanted Jiang Zhizhou to stay in Jianzhou for life and provide them with food.
The government’s re-posting of notices gives hope to those who are still unemployed.
They all hope that the officials will give them a good talk.
The yamen runner said, "Lord Jiang said that we ordinary people should participate in the selection of the top ten reputable merchants. You will choose the reputable store in Jianzhou."
"Tsk." It turns out they're not recruiting.
Everyone was extremely disappointed, and some of them couldn't help but say, "What's the point?"
"Of course it's useful." The yamen runner took out the prepared cheat sheet, glanced at it and said, "It's of great benefit to the people of Jianzhou."
"What's good about it?"
The yamen runner smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. The good thing is that the shop you choose is trustworthy. They won't cheat on weights or sell inferior goods as good ones. More importantly, the prices are affordable, and the products are good quality at a low price."
A woman in the crowd, her eyes sparkling, raised her hand. "You mean we won't have to suffer losses when we buy things?"
"Of course." The young man patted his chest and said confidently: "My Lord has guaranteed that the Top Ten Shops are definitely conscientious shops in Jianzhou. If any quality issues arise, you can report them to the government at any time, and the government will take care of it for you."
What the people want.
One is affordability, the other is credibility.
Although the classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are clearly divided, no matter which dynasty it is, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes.
Only if you have money in your pocket can you have status.
Now that they have the final say, it means that their status is being improved.
The poor can now speak for themselves.
That’s great!
