Chapter 421: is his
The officials of the county government are busy again, posting notices, going down to the villages, making sure that the new decree of the county magistrate is conveyed to every family, every household and every commoner.
The people under the rule of Yun County in Fanshan, if the woman is pregnant, from the month of conception, she can receive fifteen eggs every month to replenish her body. During confinement, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, in addition to fifteen eggs, the woman can also receive an extra bag of brown sugar and a piece of meat.
The baby is a girl. Before the child is half a year old, the woman will have one piece of fish, one piece of meat, and one packet of brown sugar every two months. From half a year old to one year old, there is a pack of brown sugar for three months. From one to two years old, it is half a year's share of a bag of brown sugar. It's gone after two years.
Those who give birth to boys do not enjoy these benefits.
This move is to hope that the common people will look at these things and raise the baby girl properly instead of drowning at will and abandoning it.
Of course, whether a woman is pregnant or not can be diagnosed by a hospital designated by the county government. If you are sure you are pregnant, the clinic will send you a small book that records the information of the pregnant woman, and you will use this small skill in the future. No one should try to pretend to be a lie.
In order to ensure that pregnant women will not be harshly treated by their in-laws and that the things distributed are actually used on pregnant women, the county government also has relevant punishment measures.
The simplest and easiest way is to supervise each other in the same village. If everyone lives together, which family does not know the details of which family? Whoever eats a good meal at noon can spread throughout the village before evening, there is no secret at all.
Once it is discovered that the items received by a family are not used by pregnant women, the pregnant women of this family will no longer enjoy this subsidy in the future, and all of them will be cancelled. Even the qualifications for cheap salt are cancelled.
Not a small family, but a big family.
That is to say, the sisters-in-law will also be implicated, and they will not be able to receive subsidies if they become pregnant in the future.
This is to tell them that no one should be jealous, because jealousy will even lose their own subsidies.
Oh, by the way, if this happens to any village, the village head will also be implicated.
The punishment is so severe, I believe that even the most eccentric and mean mother-in-law would not dare to touch the things of pregnant women.
Now Shanyun County is boiling again, especially women, which one is not suffering from the pain of childbirth? The child is the flesh that falls from the mother, even if it is a daughter, they still feel distressed! Where is willing to drown or throw away? But it is the man and the mother-in-law who are in charge of the house...
It’s all right now, with the county magistrate’s decree, even if it’s for the sake of those eggs and brown sugar, even if they give birth to a daughter, they can still keep them.
Your Excellency is such a good official! Since he took office, the lives of ordinary people have become much better. There is also the wife of the county magistrate, that is also a compassionate heart, a living Bodhisattva!
Yes, it is not only Wen Jiuxiao, but also Yu Zhi who make the people grateful. Because Wen Jiuxiao said in the notice that it was his wife who was pregnant, and he felt that it was not easy for a woman to conceive, so he deliberately used money from his dowry to benefit the pregnant women in Shanyun County.
Yu Zhi is doing abacus again. In fact, mental calculations are enough. Abacus... In fact, it is a kind of brilliance, a brilliance of skills!
She is calculating how many years her dowry money can last. The total population of Shanyun County is less than 10,000, and the ratio of male to female is already out of balance. Eggs are not rare, brown sugar is not too expensive, and the burden is still affordable.
But Yu Zhi thinks long-term, she can't stay in Shanyun County for the rest of her life, she is fine when she is here, and can guarantee that every pregnant woman in Shanyun County can enjoy these benefits, what if she leaves?
She has to find a way to make this decree implemented for a long time.
Wen Jiuxiao thought she felt sorry for Yinzi, so he walked over and put his arms around her shoulders, "Don't think about it, didn't you say that you don't need to pay for the silver? It's the county government's account."
Yu Zhi turned his head and glanced at her, "It sounds like the county government has money in its account." Even though the county government now receives a lot of money, it spends even more. And which of these incomes has nothing to do with her? After careful study, the huge Shanyun County was spent entirely by the couple's money.
Wen Jiuxiao wanted to say that he could use the salt money, but when he thought that the income from the salt was brought by her, he didn't have the confidence to raise the money, so he simply shut up.
Yu Zhi glanced at him again, and didn't continue the topic, "I was thinking, although there are not many pregnant women in Shanyun County, there are monthly and yearly ones, which together constitute a large expenditure. It is not cost-effective to purchase eggs and brown sugar. It would be great if we can be self-sufficient, can we open a sugar workshop? Build a chicken workshop?"
Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi, thought for a while and said nothing, "Why do you have such an idea?"
"It's normal to have this kind of thinking. If you are poor, you want to change. If you encounter difficulties, you should find a way to solve them!" In the previous life, who grew up in that world didn't have this kind of behavior? Even if she is spoiled at home, she can carry everything by herself when she goes out of the house.
Wen Jiuxiao suddenly felt relieved, she was different from other women. She looks delicate, but she is brave, strong, and indomitable. It seems that nothing can stop her!
He seriously thought about her proposal, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to make sugar."
"There are always more solutions than difficulties." Yu Zhi didn't take it seriously, "Open this workshop in the name of the government and mobilize the people to plant sugarcane. Oh, you can sign a purchase contract with the people first, otherwise no one will be willing to plant it. The raw materials are available. Yes, I know a little about the method of making sugar. I have seen an ancient recipe. Find two or three skilled masters and experiment with various methods. Let alone brown sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, green sugar, brown sugar... can be given to you Get it out."
Yu Zhi didn’t feel any pressure when he said it, because he was used to seeing colorful candies in his previous life.
"As for chicken-raising workshops, the common people are encouraged to do it. Or take the village as a unit, each village builds a chicken-raising workshop, and the government provides technical support. The chickens are raised and laid eggs, and the government buys them. In addition to supplying pregnant women, there are more It can be sold to other places through caravans. The county government has solved the purchase problem, and the common people have benefited from it. The best of both worlds, how wonderful!"
Of course, if the chicken-raising workshops in Shanyun County really become popular, they will not only be able to sell eggs, but a small egg can also play a lot of tricks. Tea eggs, egg pancakes, chicken cakes... as long as they are the same, they can feed a family.
Listening to the prospect Yu Zhi described, Wen Jiuxiao felt that it was feasible, "Don't plant sugar cane in the fields of the common people, but plant it in the open fields like grapes first, and let them grow it as a tenant." The grain harvest in Shanyun County is Not high, just to be cautious, Wen Jiuxiao did not dare to harm the fertile land at will.
"You are the magistrate of the county, of course you have the final say." Yu Zhi doesn't care, she can only give advice if she can help, and Wen Jiuxiao is the one who actually implements it.
Wen Jiuxiao hugged her from behind into her arms, her brows were beaming, her eloquent appearance was really attractive, she was colorful and sparkling.
And such a distinctive Yu Zhi belongs to him.
