"Let's start with improving the family members. If the family members are willing to come to the dyeing workshop to dye cloth, weave cloth, or do other manual work, I will pay a little more than the normal wages." Haitang said.
"Really? We brothers originally wanted to wait for Brother Tian to come back and tell him to let the ladies go to your place to find a man to do it. Why don't we go out and earn some money if we are either jealous of our mother-in-law or spending money shopping with our best friends at home every day?
The money can also help support the family. Since Madam, you have spoken, on behalf of the brothers, I would like to thank Madam in advance." The acting county magistrate looked happy.
This time I can give my brothers a good talk when I go back. Madam, this is great. It’s better than everyone expected! He is considerate and approachable. Brother Hotan is really a lovely couple made in heaven.
It is truly a blessing for the county to have them in charge!
"Improving the lives of family members can only make their families better, but it does not allow the yamen to use more public funds to do more things. You see, the wall in the south of the city is about to collapse. If the horses pass by, they will be injured.
Passers-by are not good,
If a lawsuit breaks out, the yamen will not stand up for justice. Also, the sabers of the yamen servants are so blunt, and some of them have serrations. If you encounter someone who has done evil, I am afraid it will not be able to do anything, so you can only
It’s just a display.” Haitang said.
"There are many more like this, hey! It's really not expensive to furnish the house with firewood and rice. I want to do everything well, but I don't have any money in the bank and my accounts are clean. I didn't expect you to see all this."
"I'm really ashamed, so ashamed." said the acting magistrate.
"I have a few ideas to make the yamen's accounts look better and the family's financial resources to be more substantial. Without money, nothing can be done." Haitang knew this very well.
"Come on, I'm so worried about money. I wish God would rain down money." said the acting county magistrate.
"As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. If the yamen want to make money, they have to take it from the people. The people have just lived a good life, so they can't increase the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Then the only ones left will be the rich and wealthy families in the city," Haitang said.
.
"These big families occupy 80% of the money in the city, but they only have 20% of the people. This is the 28th rule. We can't rob the people from the people, but we can induce these big families.
What do you think about taking money from their hands and using it as public funds?" Haitang asked.
"Why……"
The acting magistrate sighed.
"You know, the richer people are, the more stingy they are. If you want to get some money from these stingy people, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky. They are really iron cocks, and they will never give up a dime!" The acting county magistrate was deeply touched.
"We used to raise funds for seriously ill children, but the money they donated was less than what the poor people donated. There is really no conscience at all." The acting county magistrate shook his head repeatedly, and he was really not optimistic about these rich people.
!
It's just a coffin when you die. If you don't bring it with you when you are alive, you won't take it with you when you die. Why keep so much money?
This is a common characteristic of rich people that baffles all poor people.
"I have a few ideas that I might as well try." Haitang thought for a while and said.
The deputy magistrate's eyes lit up after hearing this. When he first came to Haitang's house, he didn't take it seriously. After all, she was a woman. He didn't expect that there was a way to deal with the scholar.
