Chapter 209

The officials stood at the door of the supermarket and watched the plainly dressed people walk in empty, with large and small bags coming in, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

There are shopping guides at the door, and they are politely brought in.

The officials thought they were well-informed, and they were shocked to see the scene inside.

This is the first time know that there is such a convenient shopping place in this world. Everything is neatly arranged on the open shelves, and the prices are marked.

The customers were smiling, carrying a basket with ease, and choosing their favorite products.

The supermarket has a large space and a wide variety of varieties. It is divided into three areas, including a food area, a coat area, and a daily necessities area. The planning is particularly reasonable.

An official couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of things being stolen?"

Human nature is greedy, and once let loose, it will flood.

It's strange that people can take it so casually, and it won't be stolen.

The shopping guide said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, everyone comes in empty, and no packages are allowed."

The official shook his head slightly, not optimistic.

The shopping guide said softly, "If they are found, they will be fined ten. If they are local, they will cancel the benefits of local household registration, and their children and grandchildren will be affected. If they are not local, they will break a hand."

He pointed to a white wall with the rules clearly written on it.

The Minister of Rites couldn't help but ask, "What are the benefits of local household registration?"

"Newborn children can receive a bag of nutritional milk powder for free every month until the age of three, and 50-year-olds get a cloth every season. Anyone with a local household registration can buy five catties of cotton wool and two pieces of cloth at an affordable price every six months. Half a catty of salt, two hundred catties of grain, these are all purchase prices, not making money."

Cotton is locally produced, and salt is shipped from Fufeng City. The cost is low, which is half the market price.

Under such circumstances, who would be foolish enough to knowingly be a thief?

Cancellation of benefits is spurned by others, and will be blamed by family members, which is really wrong.

The officials looked at each other with complicated expressions.

These cheap goods can ensure that the family will not starve to death and freeze to death, which is quite intentional.

They know that milk powder is a precious thing, but it is actually free in Xiliang. The special welfare for babies from birth to three years old ensures that the child will not be discarded at will, reduces the infant mortality rate, and also improves the child's health. foundation.

The families of these children will be grateful to Dade and have a centripetal force for the government.

When the child is sensible, he will have a sense of belonging to Xiliang.

Someone couldn't bear to mutter, "It will really buy people's hearts."

The shopping guide's expression froze, and the customer was unhappy, "How did you talk? We all keep in mind that the government has done good deeds. If you send free things to our elderly and children, we will also praise you."

"Ignore them, they're just jealous of us."

"Yes, after all, we are the only one in Xiliang, and we can't be proud."

He said that he couldn't be proud, but he held his chest high and looked proud.

officers:……

Forget it, there's no need to mess with these customers.

"Let's go see too."

Everyone wandered around and then separated. Originally, they were holding a critical mentality, but when they saw that this thing was so cheap, that one was so cheap.

While waiting in line to check out, everyone bumped into each other, looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Everyone is carrying large and small bags in their hands, and they can't wait to use a few more hands to carry things.

"No, didn't we just take a look?"

"I have to buy something special for my family."

"Yes, it's a special product, what a big deal."

Well, if you say it's a specialty, it's a specialty. The milk powder, milk slices, and cheese are all made from a dozen pieces.

Still, what's the deal with buying fresh milk and yogurt? These don't last long.

Honglu Siqing didn't know why he bought so many things, and he couldn't hold back when he saw that others seemed to take it without money.

"This shopping environment is very atmospheric and the model is very interesting. Who created it?"

He felt that after returning to Beijing, he could mention it to the emperor. Could it be possible to build a few civilian supermarkets in the capital?

A customer interjected, "Of course, it's our Qingping County Lord. She has the ability and can do anything. This entire street is planned and built by her, and it is her hard work."

Officials have discovered that Mu Wanqing's prestige in Xiliang is extremely high, and everyone will come out to protect her.

"Is this street her own?"

The customer rolled his eyes, "What are you thinking? The property rights belong to the government, and they bear most of the taxes in Liangcheng, all of which are used to benefit our people."

Those resident benefits are earned from this street.

Looking at the happy smiles of the customers, the officials have an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, "The daily management is also done by the government?"

The customer shook his head slightly, "Miss Du and Mrs. Mu manage this street together. They are also very capable."

The crowd fell silent.

The store manager said with a smile, "Dear guests, we provide delivery, and you only need to send a 100 yuan shipping fee."

Can you do this? Okay, the officials reported the address of the Tongfu Inn, paid the money, and the store manager gave them a pick-up list, and when they received the items, they could bring them back to the staff.

The corner of the store manager's mouth twitched slightly, "Seeing that you are all well-dressed, I suggest you go to the department store to take a look. It has everything in it. There are only things you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy. If you don't visit the department store, you will come to Xiliang City for nothing. ."

There is only one possibility for people who go to the department store, they are hollowed out, and no one can escape.

He successfully aroused everyone's curiosity and planned to take a look.

Along the way, everyone has discussed it, just looking at it and not buying it.

As a result, before entering the bright and clean glass door from a distance, was stunned by the majestic appearance of the shopping mall.

The five-story building made of cement is beautiful in shape and majestic, which makes people stop to watch.

Everyone looked straight and couldn't believe their eyes. This is the department store that the people of Xiliang are proud of?

There are no such big shopping malls in Beijing.

After entering, was even more shocked. Everything saw was a novelty, something had never seen before.

They seem to have opened up a new world, all kinds of strange but fascinating.

The shops are beautifully decorated, and the glass windows display all kinds of exquisite goods.

The buyer is also very enthusiastic, "Dear guest, please allow me to introduce the products of our store to you..."

With his eloquent introduction and the attentive service of the clerk, everyone bought a lot of things in a daze, and their wallets were emptied when they went out.

After walking for a while out of the door, everyone reacted, "Hey, hey, they said they wouldn't give out money."

This is more profitable than selling gold caves. Who the hell came up with it?

Do you still need to ask? It must be the head of Qingping County.

How does her brain grow?

That night, they also went to the famous Mu's Snack Street, which opened their eyes again.

The shops on both sides are lit up with lanterns, and the streets are full of people, shoulder to shoulder, some walking in pairs, and some with the whole family.

Many people have food in their hands, and smiles on their faces as they walk and stroll.

One after another, the sound of hawking was endless, and the tempting aroma of food lingered on the nose, making people swallow their saliva.

Seeing how cheap food is, how can officials hold back?

I was a little reserved at the beginning, but then I was so excited to eat and let myself go. I tried everything from the street to the end, and it was really delicious.

Whether it is Mala Tang, beef pie, braised chicken, jelly, mung bean cake, double skin milk, old yogurt, etc., they are all memorable.

In the end, everyone's stomach was so round that they could no longer be stuffed, and then they left with no end in sight.

"This whole street should be opened by the Mu family?"

"The livelihood arranged by the head of Qingping County for the clansmen."

"I'm a little envious." Can Rijin Doojin not be envious?

After returning to Tongfu Inn, everyone couldn't sleep and had a small meeting, and the mood was quite complicated.

They found that they were the bottom of the well, and their pride as officials in the capital was shattered.

Honglu Siqing was the first to speak, "How much do you calculate the annual profit of these two streets?"

The subordinate hesitated, "I think there are hundreds of thousands."

"There should be millions, otherwise we won't be able to support those resident benefits."

Honglu Siqing shook his head slightly, more than this number.

"I finally understand why the Qingping County Lord was able to hold such a big hole by himself?"

Before, everyone had some doubts about the authenticity.

The so-called seeing is believing, hearing is false, they finally accepted today.

She is clearly a money making genius.

"If such talent is in the household, I believe the treasury will be filled soon."

The court doesn't have to worry about not being able to pay salaries.

An official said weakly, "Didn't you say that you can't let women come forward?"

The corners of everyone's mouth twitched, not to mention, the achievements of this Qingping county owner can no longer be measured by gender.

It only took her two years to make the barren border so prosperous.

The minister of the household sighed softly, seemingly regretful and helpless, "No one can stop her light anymore, she is ready."

The people of Xiliang live and work in peace and contentment, and they have no worries about food and clothing, and they love Mu Wanqing very much.

The shopkeeper personally brought a pot of hot tea and a pot of hot milk, "My lord, drinking tea at night is prone to insomnia. Milk is a sleep aid, so you can drink more."

"We didn't order milk." An official was stunned.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Send it, the milk we have here has no odor, it's delicious and nutritious, every day from officials to children, we have to drink a bowl of it."

"Milk is the welfare of officials?" They are also officials, why is it so different?

"No." Before the official could breathe a sigh of relief, the shopkeeper smiled, "The official has three meals a day, milk, eggs, and meat buns for breakfast, and a snack with meat and a vegetarian meal for lunch and dinner."

Crowd: ...

The shopkeeper hasn't finished, "There are also various subsidies, housing subsidies, vehicle and horse subsidies, and also issued food tickets, sugar tickets, oil tickets, salt tickets."

The officials clutched their chests, Xiliang was so mad.

"Everyone has a share?"

The shopkeeper glanced calmly, "Yes, it's just that the amount varies according to different official positions."

A small official rolled his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "How many ordinary officials can there be?"

The shopkeeper just waited for his words, "As far as I know, after removing all kinds of tickets, the eighth-rank officials have a total of 12 taels of silver, which is enough to support the family."

The officials cried with envy. For ten taels of silver, the eighth-rank officials in the capital were only three taels, a full three times the difference. There are also various tickets available for free.

The problem is that the level of consumption in the capital is much higher than in the border.

The shopkeeper was still in Balabala's show, "Ah, by the way, there will be a bonus at the end of the year, depending on everyone's performance, the maximum is 1,000 taels."

Officials: ...want to stay!
