"Dong dong dong..."

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

As soon as the news of the tax reduction came out, the city of Xianyang suddenly became agitated.

The gongs and drums are noisy, the firecrackers are blasting, the Qin flag is fluttering, and there are huge crowds of people!

Those who should set up stalls stopped setting up stalls, those who should open shops stopped opening shops, and even those who farmed stopped working in the fields, just to celebrate this move!

Reducing taxes means that they will no longer have to be so tired in the future!

In the past, I had little money left after working for a year, but now I am better. The more I work, the more I earn, and I only need to pay a small part of the tax!

The streets and alleys are filled with the sound of gongs and drums.

Those who don’t have gongs and drums will take out their own copper basins and beat them to express their joy!

"That's great, His Majesty has reduced taxes for us!"

"Yeah, this is something I never dreamed of!"

"No! My old woman has lived for so long, and she has always heard about increasing taxes and corvee labor. She has never heard of such a good thing as reducing taxes! I didn't expect that this time, I would actually encounter it!"

"Haha! Mom, just live a good life. The little tax you pay now is almost nothing. When our family has money in the future, we will buy meat for you every day!"

"Okay, okay, hahaha...!"

The people cheered and cheered, their joy beyond words.

In this era, there were no communication tools such as telephones and telegraphs, so conveying messages could only rely on human power.

So other counties learned the news later!

When they saw the news about tax reduction published in the newspaper, they were still confused and couldn't believe it!

"It says that His Majesty will reduce taxes for us. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Who knew, would it happen so suddenly? And it would decrease so much all at once?"

"I guess it's true. A relative of mine went to Xianyang City to buy goods two days ago. He saw the navy returning with his own eyes. He brought a lot of treasures with him. It took the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs a whole day to pull the goods with him!"

"Oh my god, how much does that cost?"

"I don't know how much it will cost, but I estimate that the imperial court should have become rich all of a sudden, otherwise it wouldn't have taken such a big step to reduce our taxes!"

"Yep……!"

The common people were holding newspapers in their hands, doubtful and making random guesses.

It wasn’t until the government issued an official announcement that I dared to believe it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, young master!"

Many people were so excited that they cried bitterly and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Xianyang.

"Huh? This policy was promulgated by His Majesty. Why should you thank the young master?"

Some uninformed old people looked puzzled.

"You don't know this, right? The young master has just conquered the Three Kingdoms and brought back a lot of loot, which has enriched the national treasury. Without this large sum of money, do you think your Majesty can reduce our taxes?"

"What you said is not comprehensive. According to rumors, it was the young master who proposed the tax reduction and convinced His Majesty and the ministers!"

"Oh? So that's the case, then you should really thank the young master!"

After saying this, a large number of people knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Your Majesty and the young master.

…

After resting for two days, the young lady could no longer stay in the palace and took a carriage to go outside the palace.

First, they went to Bieyuan to call Han Xin and Wang Li, and then went to various industries to check!

After two days of carnival, the people finally returned to their previous state!

Set up a stall when it's time to set up a stall, open a shop when it's time to open a shop, and farm when it's time to farm!

It has already entered September, the cotton picking period, and the farming people are busy working on their cotton in the fields!

Newspapers have reported on how to handle cotton, and the government has specially trained many professionals to teach people how to handle it step by step.

The processed cotton is very soft, so women make it into cotton-padded clothes and quilts for winter use!

Last year, due to the limited number, ordinary people like them didn't even see what cotton-padded jackets looked like.

This year, every household can wear warm cotton clothes and cover themselves with thick quilts!

The remaining cotton can be sold to textile factories, and the price is not cheap!

Textile factories start producing sweaters in the summer, when the weather gets cooler and they are sold.

The machine has just been freed up to produce cotton cloth from the newly harvested cotton!

Steam looms were very efficient and could produce thousands of pieces of cloth every day.

Lu Ze is responsible for selling to various places, while Lu Pheasant and Lu Yan are only responsible for the sales in Xianyang City!

Don't underestimate these two jobs. In just one year, the three brothers and sister bought a big house in Xianyang City!

Because everyone who works under Xiao Zhengtai adopts the dividend system.

The more the clerks and shopkeepers sell, the more they make!

Lu Ze and Lu Zhi took over the entire cloth business, so it would be strange if they didn't make money!

"Pull me three feet of cloth and go home to make clothes for the child!"

"Auntie! You are really discerning. Our cotton is cheap, colorful, very soft and breathable. It is perfect for making clothes for children!"

"Yes, yes, yes, although the linen we used before was cheap, it was uncomfortable for children to wear, but the cloth spun from cotton is really soft and is really a good thing!"

"Give me three feet!"

"I want two feet!"

"Just give me one...!"

Ying Feiyu brought Han Xin and Wang Li to the cloth shop. Before they could enter, they heard a lot of noise inside, and people were reporting the sizes of fabrics they wanted.

Lu Pheasant entertained him warmly and asked his servants to cut them according to the quantity!

Now the cloth shop has been separated from the sweater shop, with only a wall in between.

Compared with the cotton fabrics that have just been launched, although the sweater shop's business is good, it is far less popular than the cloth shop.

After all, a large number of them were sold last winter, so the demand from the people will be less this year!

However, the factory has begun to adjust the style. In addition to keeping warm, it also pays more attention to style!

Since the sweater was on the right track, the younger Lu Yan took charge.

The cloth shop couldn't squeeze in, so the young lady had to turn around and go into the sweater shop.

The little girl Lu Yan was busy with a few guys. Seeing him come in, Lu Yan immediately put down what she was doing and ran over with a happy face, "Little Master, are you back?"

Ever since she came to Xianyang and met Ying Feiyu, for some reason, she had paid special attention to things about the young master.

Especially after destroying three kingdoms this time, I suddenly realized that the young master is the most outstanding man in the world!

A few days ago, my father sent me a letter, telling the sisters to find husbands in Xianyang City and not to go back to a small place like Surabaya!

But she saw that even if all the men in Xianyang were put together, they would not be as good as a young master!

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few months, but do you miss me?"

Xiao Zhengtai said jokingly.

"No! But not only I miss the young master, but the people in the whole city are also thinking about the young master!"

Lu Yan admitted it generously and rounded off his words very tactfully.

It is really smart to admit your own thoughts without embarrassing yourself!

Xiao Zhengtai nodded appreciatively.
Chapter completed!
