"Your Majesty, you don't know that the people in this city today, as long as they have one or two strong laborers at home, can save at least a dozen dollars in a month."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Du Ziteng also hurriedly said from the side.
"A dozen strings?"
Liu Ruyan, who was following Liu Deng, had her eyes widened. She had truly lived a hard life.
When he was with Liu Yishui, he could only get 20 yuan of money every month.
You must know that at that time, she was not only Liu Yishui's confidant, but she even played a bit of an assassin's role!
"Aren't the people in the city already living such a wonderful life now?"
Listening to the sound of reading loudly from the school on the roadside, Liu Ruyan's eyes became a little blurry.
"You guys wait here now while I wander around!"
As Liu Deng spoke, he waved to Du Ziteng, gesturing for him to lead the way.
"I said Lao Du, you have to help your brother!"
Seeing Liu Deng frowning and walking directly towards the city, Tian Suning quickly grabbed Du Ziteng.
"Don't worry, the king is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. He just has a hard time believing what you have accomplished. Just take it in your heart. After the king has finished reading, you can wait for your promotion. .”
Du Ziteng smiled, then patted his shoulder and followed him directly.
Du Ziteng was leading the way, and many elderly people in the city had met Liu Deng.
Before he had gone far, the people in the city had already started to gather around him.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Liu Deng, and after a while, it felt like everyone was empty.
"I came here today just to see everyone. I have no other intention. You are all gathered here. How can I see the changes in this city?"
Looking at the grateful faces of the common people, Liu Deng smiled bitterly.
"What are you doing here? You haven't done any work at home, right? Those who have work at home can do whatever they have to do. Just leave a few elders here to chat with the king!"
After all, Du Ziteng had to show off his power. As soon as these words were spoken, the common people dispersed reluctantly one by one.
In the end, only a dozen elders were left behind, following Liu Deng.
"Old people, how are you in good health? Are the children in this family still filial?"
Looking at the rosy faces of these old people, Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay! This is all thanks to the king. If you hadn't taught us mud-legged people how to make cans, we would still be begging for food from the golden rice bowl!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know, now not only the soldiers in the army are eating our cans, but even the merchants from Chang'an have come to us to place orders!"
Seeing Liu Deng ask, these white-haired old people started chatting one by one.
Only then did Liu Deng realize that with such a simple industrial chain, the entire Buqicheng had benefited a lot.
Moreover, the industrial division of labor in the entire city is becoming increasingly clear.
The prime-age laborers gathered together to go fishing together, while the old, weak, women and children at home became the main force in canning processing.
As for those skilled craftsmen, they were gathered together by the government, and they were able to build several kilns specializing in firing pots.
Those who have large animals at home are responsible for transportation. Every link and how much money each person can get are all determined by the government.
There is also a certain amount of tax that needs to be paid for each transaction.
After the merchants paid their taxes, the remaining money was distributed uniformly by the government.
All buying and selling processes are under the supervision of the government. Any profiteers who want to play tricks here will be hung on the tower and whipped.
This measure directly helps those people who are not good at management at the source to pass the first hurdle.
They only need to be responsible for production, and all sales channels are escorted by official uniforms.
In this way, for those common people, the effect is naturally the most obvious.
They don't have any worries. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. As long as they work hard, they can go directly to the government with a receipt to settle the settlement when the day comes.
Every account and every copper coin will be counted clearly by the government.
They even saved a lot of money on hiring the accountant.
For the government, the benefits of doing so are also extremely obvious. Directly from the source, any tax evasion and tax evasion behavior is eliminated.
Especially after Tian Suning included the amount of tax paid as one of the assessments for allocating housing and land, if some officials in the government miscalculated the accounts, when the common people found out, they would consciously send back all the shortfalls.
This kind of thing was almost unimaginable in the past dynasties, but here, it has become a common rule among people.
In the simple values of those people, everything they had was given by the king Liu Deng.
The taxes paid were also treated as part of the money given to the king.
Drinking water and remembering its source, in today's era, this is what universal morality advocates.
If anyone takes advantage of this, they will be stabbed in the back after they leave the house.
"Such a small person can actually feed so many people..."
After listening to what the old men said, Liu Ruyan sighed sincerely.
"I don't know what I know, but the merchants who come to place orders from us have been waiting for several months. No matter how much we make, they can all eat it in one bite!"
Being able to surprise the high-ranking princess really satisfies the little vanity of these old men.
"Although the quantity demanded by foreign merchants is small, the price they offer is high. Do you have any complaints?"
When Liu Deng first started, he never thought that the price of this thing would rise with the tide.
So when the supply contract was signed, it was a fixed price. Now, he is really worried. Will these people have any objections?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the canned food supplied to the army is naturally of the best quality. There is nothing to say about this. This is for our own soldiers to eat. Even if we earn less copper coins, we are willing to do so!"
Several old men waved towards Liu Deng without falling.
"Although I say this, I can't let you lose money. Let them re-determine the price after you go back!"
If you have not experienced the indifference of human kindness in later generations, it is difficult to understand how precious this kind of golden heart is.
Since it is a good deed, it should be promoted. Now that he does not lack this little copper coin, there is no need to hurt the hearts of those who are as golden as this.
