Chapter 210 Activate the street stall economy! Spend the least money, do the most things!

When the social environment is improved, Lin Beifan feels that he can start the economy.

Only when the economy is done well and the common people have money can they have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.

This is also the embodiment of his greatest political achievements.

At this time, Lin Beifan was walking on the streets of the capital with a judge.

“Master Wang, how do you think we can increase the income of the common people and make them rich?” Lin Beifan smiled and asked an official next to him.

“There are many ways!” Mr. Wang said with a smile, “For example, lowering taxes, encouraging trade, building water conservancy, etc. These are all effective ways, but it is difficult to implement them!”

“For example, lowering taxes, this tax is not something that can be lowered just by saying it! This tax is related to the revenue of the treasury, and it must be approved by the Ministry of Households, and even His Majesty’s consent, before it can be implemented! Our locality does not have this right!”

Lin Beifan nodded. Taxation is an important source of finance for the country, and local governments only have the right to collect it, and it cannot be lowered.

Moreover, since ancient times, only the emperor has lightly paid taxes and amnesty the world!

As a local official, what qualifications do you have?

“There is also encouragement of trade, which will definitely promote the development of economy and commerce, and make people rich! For example, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is a rich place because of its prosperous business. Many people have money!”

“However, there is also a big problem! There is indeed a strong business atmosphere there, and everyone is doing business instead of production! There used to be a lot of fertile land there, but now a lot of it has been abandoned, and the grain production has been decreasing year by year! Grain prices It is about 50% higher than other regions, and many people cannot afford food!”

“Once this person is hungry, there will be more problems, and the society will become turbulent! Therefore, my dynasty has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. It is really a last resort!”

Lin Beifan nodded again.

Now is the era of small-scale peasant economy, the productive forces are not developed, and whether they can eat is a problem.

So in order to have enough to eat, most people live their lives facing the loess and back to the sky.

With fewer people working, the grain output will decrease.

The decrease in food production and people’s lack of food will affect all aspects of things, and even shake the foundation of the country.

Therefore, the imperial court used various policies and systems to encourage them to work and prevent them from wandering around.

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, that’s how it came about.

“Next, let’s talk about building water conservancy!”

Mr. Wang became more and more talkative: “Building water conservancy projects, canal projects, etc., is a relatively easy and most direct method for us. It is equivalent to spending money to hire ordinary people to work. In this way, Our water conservancy project is done well, benefiting the country and the people! The common people also have money, and life will naturally be easier!”

Lin Beifan nodded: “This is indeed the best way at the moment!”

This method is a bit like government investment in later generations. Using investment to stimulate economic growth has a very significant effect.

“The method is good, but the biggest problem is lack of money!”

Mr. Wang smiled wryly: “The investment in any of these projects is huge! Our government has limited funds, and we have to deal with unexpected needs! Without the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is really impossible to promote such a huge project!”

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: “Actually, it’s not too difficult! As long as Mr. Wang contributes the money in your hand, there shouldn’t be any problem!”

“Ahem, Mr. Fu Cheng is joking, how can a subordinate official have so much money!”

Then, neither of them mentioned it.

The two talked while walking.

Lin Beifan found out that although this Mr. Wang is very greedy, he is indeed a talent. He knows more about business and economics than others, and he speaks the truth in all aspects.

Mr. Wang was also surprised to find that although this new Mr. Fu Cheng is very young, his knowledge is profound and he has unique insights in economics and business. He can often be enlightened with just a few words.

It’s no wonder that people with skills are popular everywhere.

After some conversation, Lin Beifan discovered that in ancient times, the operation to increase the income of ordinary people was very limited.

Mainly determined by backward productivity.

Productivity is backward, and even eating is a problem. Most people can only be trapped in the farmland.

In order to ensure production and food supply, and maintain social stability, the country has no choice but to emphasize agriculture and restrain business, restrain commercial development, and lock most farmers into the land.

With limited business development, the government naturally has no money.

Productivity determines the relationship of production, which is why the current situation is caused, and it is constrained every step of the way.

Therefore, in order to improve the economic level and increase the income of the people, the most important thing is to increase productivity.

But increasing productivity is not something that happens overnight. Even if he brings out several inventions across the ages, it will take several years to bear fruit. Too slow, the day lily is cold.

For example, the hybrid rice he is working on will not be able to be bred until next year, and it will be spread to the whole country in a few years.

What he needs now is immediate results.

At this time, Lin Beifan heard the cries of peddlers along the street.

Lin Beifan pointed along the street and said with a smile: “Master Wang, look at the stalls here, they are scattered and messy! And because they are not neatly arranged, many places are wasted!”

“If these stalls are uniformly planned by our government, everyone can do business within their own boundaries! The streets are planned neatly, and there are more people doing business, which can increase the income of ordinary people!”

“Ah! What Lord Fu Cheng said is very true, let someone arrange for you to be an official later!” Lord Wang slapped his head.

“Include the planning of the bustling streets of the entire capital, as well as some vacant spaces that are not available for the time being, and then divide them into categories, a street for eating and drinking, a street for entertainment, and a street for buying and selling! After this matter is completed, the official estimates…”< /p>

Lin Beifan thought for a while, and raised three fingers: “At least 3,000 jobs can be added, benefiting 3,000 families!”

Mr. Wang said in surprise: “Is there such a big effect?”

Lin Beifan smiled and shook his head: “There may be more than that! Because once this matter takes shape, it will have an agglomeration effect! People who like to eat and drink will go to the street for eating and drinking! People who like to have fun will go to the street for fun! People who want to buy things will go to buy and sell a street, and the business will get better and better! When the business gets better, the number of employees will naturally increase!”

“It’s like the West Market and the East Market. They were originally established with few people, but when people knew that these two places can buy high-quality and cheap things, they became lively!” Mr. Wang laughed.

“That’s it! The street stall economy is related to people’s livelihood. Lord Wang, let’s do it first. Anyway, it is not a difficult task for our government! If we don’t do it well, there is no loss. If it is done well, it will be a great political achievement!”

“Your Majesty Fu Cheng is right, I will make arrangements for you now!”

After Mr. Wang went back, he immediately started to make arrangements.

The streets in the entire capital were re-planned, and finally they were classified into different categories, and streets were marked out, as well as stalls of equal size, for the common people to do street stall business.

You must operate in the booth according to the rules, keep the booth clean and tidy, and do not operate outside the boundaries.

0 ····························

There is no fee charged, and the lottery will be drawn once a month to redistribute the booths.

After obtaining Lin Beifan’s consent, he informed the whole city of the plan.

The common people in the capital were shocked.

Unexpectedly, since Lin Beifan took office, the first policy he implemented was actually about street stalls.

The foothold is too down-to-earth.

And it looks pretty good.

It took three days to finalize the plan.

Everyone found that after the re-planning, the situation was really different!

The streets that used to be messy are now very neat and tidy, and they don’t occupy the road at all. It looks much more spacious and comfortable!

Once tidy and comfortable, the interest in shopping will be high.

Moreover, the planning and arrangement are very in line with the wishes of the masses.

For example, if you want to find something to eat, go directly to the eating and drinking street. There are all food and drinks there, and you can eat all the way to the end. You don’t have to look for food here and there like before.

Xiaojunzhu is one of the examples. He ate through the snack street several times.

The same goes for other places!

The entire street stall economy has been activated, with more and more consumers and more and more people doing business!

… ….. …

The flow of people was like a shuttle, full of fireworks!

Mr. Wang said in surprise: “My lord, the situation is just as you said. The streets have become tidy, everyone’s business has improved, and the income of many people has increased, and it doesn’t cost much!”

Lin Beifan smiled slightly: “The official’s ruling philosophy has always been: Spend the least money and do the most things!”

“Lord Fucheng, you are really tall!” Lord Wang gave a thumbs up.

At this moment in the palace.

The Empress, who had just finished reviewing the memorial, stretched herself, and said to herself, “Half a month has passed, and I don’t know how Lin Aiqing manages Detian Mansion!”

She had high hopes for Lin Beifan, that’s why she let him go to the capital to be the prime minister.

Whether a person has the ability, let him manage a place.

If the development of that place is getting better and better, and the people’s lives are getting better and better, it proves that his ability to govern is outstanding.

On the contrary, it proves impossible.

Although only half a month has passed, ordinary officials may have just taken up their duties and are still getting familiar with their work.

However, the empress couldn’t wait to know what Lin Beifan would do.

A detailed information was delivered to the Empress.

The Empress looked at it carefully and found that the first thing Lin Beifan did when he took office was to confiscate the house of an official in his yamen, and got four to five million taels.

The female emperor’s eyelids twitched: “It’s really stubborn!”

This is not what she expected at all!

She put Lin Beifan in Detian Mansion because she wanted to use his hand to clean up this group of corrupt officials.

Let them have the opportunity to be greedy, but not have the opportunity to enjoy.

The empress then looked down.

Seeing that Lin Beifan used a unique method to improve the atmosphere in Detianfu.

I couldn’t help but screamed: “This method is wonderful! It not only punishes the powerful, but also protects the interests of the people, and you don’t forget to make a fortune from it! As expected of my dear dear, you made achievements so quickly! This method Once opened, not only the capital city, but also the judicial and social environment of Great Wu will be greatly improved! Haha!”

The empress looked at it seriously, but shook her head regretfully: “Unfortunately, this method is not easy to promote!”

Lin Beifan dared to do this and was able to do so because he was fearless and not afraid of offending others.

However, other officials do not have the courage, so they are destined to fail.
