Chapter 34: The World Shakes
If Mr. Fusu said such narcissistic words in ordinary times, it would be really hard to help but complain.
But now, everyone was shocked by his second news.
The square was silent, and even the soldiers looked at Fusu in shock.
"You, have you just heard what Mr. Fusu said? He said that the corvee service was abolished? In the future, we will work. Can we get three hundred yuan in wages every month?"
"I, I heard it too, haha, it seems that we are dreaming! This dream is so beautiful!"
"I pinch myself to see if it hurts, haha, sure enough, it doesn't hurt at all. We are really dreaming!"
"Hiss, you bastard, you pinched the wrong person!"
...
There was a dead silence in the square at first, but then, the discussion became louder and louder, and gradually became a rush.
Corvey service? This was a long time ago, but today I was told that there is still a monthly wage of 300 yuan for building the Great Wall here?
It was like a huge pie falling down, smashing everyone out of the blue.
"What? I don't praise me anymore?" Seeing the shocked look of these corvee workers, Fusu reminded me.
"Young master is handsome!"
"Young master is knowledgeable and talented!"
"Young master's appearance is average!"
"You idiot, you are pretty and can't even use words!"
...
"Well, these words sound so nice!" Fusu smiled on his face when he heard these corvee workers' praise for themselves.
I am a vulgar person, greedy for money and lust, and like to praise myself with good words. Is there anything wrong with this?
Besides, what these people say is the truth, right?
Meng Tian, Jia Xianfeng and others next to him were also a little amused and crying when they saw Fusu's intoxicated appearance of being addicted to others' praise.
Before His Majesty the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, so many kings were scolded by others for nothing in order to show their desire to accept advice. They also had to treat each other with courtesy and conquer others with virtue.
So if you only like to listen to good things, such people will be despised!
But now, Mr. Fusu is like this, but it makes people feel very down-to-earth, and he thinks Mr. Fusu is a flesh-and-blood person.
After a little intoxicated, Fusu did not say anything more and announced his dissolution.
Many corvee workers also scattered their own ways and told other companions the good news.
Of course, as Fusu said, 10,000 corvee service was needed to build a market, and the work was quickly arranged.
A market is to be built near the Great Wall Pass and Yumen Pass. Ten thousand corvee work will be started here. Such a big move is naturally impossible to hide it from others.
Soon, the news spread like a hurricane.
Even a notice was posted at the entrance of Lingxiao Palace in Shangjun County City, indicating that the market shops can start attracting investment now.
In addition, goods such as ground cream and glasses for civilians have also begun to be wholesale. Of course, the bottom line of wholesale is worth thousands of yuan.
After receiving this news, many of the more clever Qianshou, who were all smart, started to act and ran to the market.
One thousand dollars? Isn’t this a matter of dozens of glasses? Isn’t this a matter of hundreds of kilograms of ground frost?
Although many families cannot afford so much money, if they find their own savings, many people can still get it if they find relatives and friends to get them together.
Those who arrived in the goods walked around the streets and carried loads to sell.
Some capable vendors even bought tens of thousands of dollars to sell goods in the farther south of Nanyang, Bajun, Longxi and other places, with better sales...
Of course, as more and more people purchase goods, the glass factory of big vendors and hawkers has started recruiting a new batch of workers, providing more positions.
...
"Recently, there are more and more vendors in the streets and alleys!"
On Shangjuncheng, on the second floor of a restaurant, two men sat upstairs, overlooking the scene of Shangjuncheng, one of them sighed.
"Indeed, just like this ground frost ice-making technique, the ground frost is really crazy now, but according to statistics, there are not even 10,000 people who died of heatstroke this year in previous years. This is really a benefit to the people!"
"This is true. There are also many people selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and scones on this street. In just a few months, Shangjun has become much more prosperous and lively than before!"
"Young Master Fusu is so kind and a good method!" At the end of his words, the two said with emotion.
"However, if it were just wholesale of ground cream and glasses, why did Mr. Fusu deliberately spend manpower to build the market? It's really hard to understand!"
"Yes, there are no residents near Yumen Pass. If you go to purchase goods, you may be willing to go there, but you will go there to open a store? Where can you do anything? "
"By the way, why haven't Brother Wang come yet? Isn't he the first ones who came here in the past?"
The two men chatted with each other, and couldn't figure out the intention of the builder near Yumen Pass, so they didn't think about it.
"Hahaha, two brothers, Brother Yu is here late, I wish you guilty!"
At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded and a man walked over with a red face.
"Brother Wang, why are you late for a long time today?" The two stood up to greet them.
"Brother Yu has just dealt with the matter of buying ten stores in Yumenguan Shopping City!" The man did not hide it and replied frankly.
"Oh? The market is still under construction, and we know about this, but there is not much popularity near the market. Even if the store is opened, there is no business, right?" The two looked at each other and asked in confusion.
"Two reasons. First, looking at the recent methods of Mr. Fusu, Brother Yu felt that he didn't believe that he would do it so well, knowing that he could not do it!"
"Secondly, Brother Yu also got the news that the young master Fusufei had a corvee service system. The 100,000 corvee service built by the Great Wall was 300 yuan, and each person had a monthly wage of three hundred yuan."
"You said that those corvee workers have money, will they go around the market in their spare time? Spend some money?"
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for telling us, we will book a few shops here!" After asking, this is a market with a flow of 100,000 passengers. At first, where can the two of them still sit?
...
Bomb, on the side of Shangjun City, Fusu abolished the corvee system built by the Great Wall and changed it to a laborer-hiring method, giving each corvee three hundred coins a month. This news was like a bomb, which made the entire Shangjun shock.
Then, this vibration quickly spread out in all directions.
For a moment, the forces from all sides responded in a wide range of ways.
Those with ulterior motives deliberately fanned the flames and made the news even more powerful, and even secretly instigated corvee labor in other places to start causing trouble.
Of course, many Confucians have stood up and expressed their support for the benevolent and righteous actions of Fusu Prince.
After all, in the eyes of Confucianism, Fusu is almost half a Confucian, so of course he has to call Fusuda.
Confucianism hopes that the Fusu prince can ascend the throne. When the time comes, the court may be dominated by Confucianism, or at least it is a situation where Confucianism and Legalism are coexisting!
However, there were also many remnants of the six kingdoms who seized this opportunity and used Fusu as a positive teaching material to contrast Qin Shihuang's tyranny.
...
In the military camp, Meng Tian sat in front of the table, and a blank bamboo slip was spread out in front of him. However, after sitting upright for a long time, he didn't know how to start writing.
"Um?"
At this moment, Meng Tian suddenly had a slightly thrust his nose and looked around. It smelled so good!
Fusu came in with a tray, which was placed on the tray with a red sauce roast duck, as well as noodles, shredded vegetables, and sauces.
Chapter completed!
