In the 22nd year of the Tang Dynasty, January 30th in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Spring Festival of the new year is coming soon, and Chang'an City is extremely lively. This year's Chang'an City seems to be more prosperous than in previous years to the naked eye. The most typical example is that more than 20 cities and towns near the south gate of Chang'an City are gradually inhabited by ordinary people.
However, now that the concept of workers has been introduced, there are many landless people in Chang'an City, and the various cities and towns in Chang'an City no longer allow people to farm.
In each common people's courtyard, you are allowed to grow vegetables in your own courtyard, but it is impossible to farm directly in Chang'an City like before.
The two counties that originally had some land in Chang'an City, Chang'an and Wannian counties, bought out all the land in their hands at market prices in the name of the government.
These people don't have any complaints. No matter what era, people living in the capital are always more exposed to the forefront of society than people in other places, so it is still difficult for other places to understand even if they receive national propaganda. Worker.
It is no longer a big deal in Chang'an City. It can only be said that the people in the capital have the same habit, just like the men in the capital in later generations like to talk about political affairs regardless of anything.
The people of Chang'an City also have this habit, so this worker has long been known to everyone among the people's bragging and spanking, and the welfare benefits of workers in state-owned commercial banks have been envied by everyone.
Because in order to attract more people to become professional workers, the first batch of state-owned commercial banks this year have made big moves.
For example, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, New Year’s benefits are directly distributed to everyone. What are they receiving? Meat! That's right. Many farms directly purchase hundreds of pigs, and then bring these pigs to the factory for slaughter directly on site. Then all workers draw numbers on site and select the meat on site.
Everyone gets the same amount of meat. A worker can get two pounds of meat or he can choose one pound of meat plus two pounds of meat.
As a result, all kinds of extremely lively shouts and curses rang out in the meat-sharing scene. Some familiar workers were shouting at the acquaintances in the front to ask them to take less fat. Save some meat for the people behind you.
Then came the sarcasm from the person in front, saying, "Who made your hands smell so bad that you couldn't draw the number in front?"
All in all, despite the constant shouting and cursing, everyone was actually extremely happy and enjoying themselves. When have they ever seen the state distribute meat? !
Although pork has always been considered inferior meat in the Tang Dynasty, and mutton and beef are superior meat, please note that this is only for the aristocratic class of aristocratic families. For ordinary people, they can't even eat meat, so what kind of meat do they care about?
What's more, I heard that in order to allow everyone to eat meat, His Highness even tried to taste the smelly pork himself, and then gradually found a way to make the pork less fishy. Now he finally has a way, that is The boar is castrated when it is still a piglet.
I don’t know how many first-year workers are in high spirits right now! Because the monthly income earned in this year is more profitable than ordinary people farming land for two or three years! Although there is no land, the expenses are higher. For example, food needs to be purchased, and everything in daily life costs money.
But after all, they have better food and better clothes than the people who farm, because the factory will also give them clothes! So this year is a high-spirited year for the workers who dare to become the first batch! Many people are thinking of buying a piece of land in Chang'an City and building their own yard.
Because I heard that there will definitely be more and more tension behind the land in Chang'an City. I heard that this time the Tang Dynasty completely conquered the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and many kings and nobles from the thirty-six countries alone came.
Similarly, in a hotel in a shopping mall in Chang'an City, King Jiang Quhu was also in high spirits at the moment!
How embarrassed he was back then, how arrogant he is now, tsk tsk, didn't everyone mock me back then? What's the difference between you and me now? ! No, you are not as good as me, because now you all have to call me Lord Marquis, and the highest among them is just the county magistrate.
How to compare with him!
Although Jiang Quhu didn't know about it at first, he later found out and knew about his reputation in the Western Regions.
Now look at each of you. If you have the ability to be tough on me, don't come to Chang'an!
Of course, Jiang Quhu was just thinking about this in his heart, but on the surface he was very polite.
"Everyone, you're welcome. I only came a year or two earlier than you. In the future, if you have anything you don't know about in Chang'an City, you can come to me. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. Don't dare to tell me anything extra. Some I can still help with a small favor." Jiang Quhu said generously.
In the past, Ruoqiang was the weakest country among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, but now Jiang Quhu is the most powerful king among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions!
Among the dozen or so people at the table today, he is the well-deserved NO.1!
So Jiang Quhu is very happy right now! He was also willing to help.
As for why you are helping? Nonsense, of course he is enjoying the attitude of being praised by all the stars. How can he be happy without a bunch of people around to praise him?
Is it possible that he is with those princes and clans? Are you kidding? Although being with those people can show his status, in that circle, he is a cautious existence. How can it be fun?
It’s still fun to hang out with these old buddies in front of me!
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Everyone raised their hands and said.
Although they are all rich, they have just arrived in Chang'an and are not familiar with the place. And in Chang'an, it is estimated that the person they bring out is probably a minister, clan member, etc., and they are not familiar with each other. It would be too miserable for the person who deserves to be offended.
Although Jiang Quhu was arranged by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty to receive them, after Jiang Quhu completed his own affairs, he was still willing to give them guidance. For this reason, they had to accept this favor.
After all, today is different from the past.
"Everyone, although I know that when I sold the Ruoqiang Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty, you must think that I am not motivated, but I want to tell you, you will know when you come to Chang'an. In the past, our Western Region was the royal city of your country. Compared with Chang'an, it is also a rural place."
"Only when you come here do you realize that this is life in Chang'an. Even if you are a king in the Western Regions, that is what you call living!"
"Also, everyone has caught up with the good time. The New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, next year's Lantern Festival, Datang Evernight City will open for business! Only then will you understand what prosperity is!"
"Finally, listen to my advice, Lord Jiang. Although you have a lot of money in your hands, you also understand that when you come here, you can't just sit back and rest. So when Datang Evernight City opens, remember to buy more in Datang Evernight City. Although ordinary stores and some more expensive stores can no longer buy it, stores in ordinary locations listen to me and buy more."
"Even if you don't do business if I buy it, just rent it out. The rent alone can ensure that you have enough food and clothing!" Jiang Quhu suggested seriously.
End of April without leave
It’s the 7th month without asking for leave. I don’t ask for rewards, but I ask you to read it. grateful.
