Chapter Thirteen: The People's Heart Is Not Attached

First update! Thanks to Wei Xiaobao & Ximen Qing for your reward! Bow!

——

The special paper mill invested by Xia Jun was producing special cotton paper day and night, and this cotton paper also incorporated some special fibers, with a folding resistance of more than 8,000 times.

These cotton papers were quickly sent to the printing factory, which printed exquisite Fuxing coins. The exquisitely made Fuxing coins were originally put into the market by East China Bank. East China Bank began to expand rapidly to Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangxi. Later, other money banks also joined the ranks of exchange for Fuxing coins.

Although the East China government's policy of nationalizing gold and silver is determined, it has not been announced yet and has not been implemented, because Fuxing Coin has not yet exchanged most of the gold and silver on the market. After Fuxing Coin is promoted, this policy can be announced.

These exquisite Revival coins are very popular in the market. Because they are very convenient to use these banknotes, they can be exchanged for silver dollars of the same denomination in the bank, and there is no obstacle in promotion.

For this reason, Xia Jun still specifically minted silver dollars from the East China Provisional Government. His avatar still appeared on the silver dollars. Xia Jun did not mint too many of these silver coins. If it is not enough to be exchanged, it would be just a top of other silver dollars. Increased the amount of minting will increase expenses. Smelting these silvers is more troublesome. Anyway, the state-owned gold and silver policy will be announced in a few months, and these silver coins will be useless at that time.

In early November, Xia Jun's points in October arrived. At this time, Xia Jun had already swallowed up parts of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and the population was growing explosively.

The population within Xia Jun's administration has increased to more than 42 million, of which Zhejiang has the largest population, reaching nearly 20 million, and Jiangxi has a large population. Although Jiangxi is poor in the local area, it is rich in agricultural resources and is located in the area of ​​fish and rice. The reason why it is poor is that it is slightly inland and has a lot of people.

The population on Xia Jun's territory increased by about three times, but the people's hearts index also decreased to 2.3, and each person contributed 2.3 points to Xia Jun on average.

Opening up the people's heart system, Zhejiang and Jiangxi's people's heart index is pitifully small, all of which are less than 1. However, Xia Jun's point income this month was nearly 100 million, at 96.6 million points.

Xia Jun's points were also squandering the remaining 140 million yuan and increased to 236.6 million yuan.

With this point, Xia Jun first needs to do is to raise the instructions of the people. Once the instructions of the people are increased to 5 to 6, Xia Jun will have about 250 million points income per month.

The previous public opinion index of Fujian was close to saturation, and Xia Jun began to accumulate points. However, now the people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi have not yet obtained the people's hearts, but Xia Jun can no longer accumulate points. As long as the points you spend in your hands, you can boost the people's hearts in the short term, then you will make a profit.

Regarding how to win people's hearts, Xia Jun first promulgated the Agricultural Tax Exemption Act, which exempted taxes for those with less than 50 acres of land. At the same time, Xia Jun believed that the time and ripe, he immediately promulgated the "New Agricultural Management Regulations" to replace the previously issued "Regulations on Temporary Agricultural Management".

The "New Agricultural Management Regulations" stipulate that whenever land owners rent agricultural land, the tenant rent shall not exceed 10 kilograms of rice, and hire long-term workers to operate independently, and the monthly salary shall not be less than 2 yuan.

The introduction of this regulation means that the era of landlords collecting landlords is about to end, and also means that Xia Jun will soon stand opposite to the landlords.

Because this bill touched the interests of landlords, those landlords who lacked the ability to operate independently will lose their income on the land. If the only income is to sell the land.

In order not to misunderstand the policy, Xia Jun asked the Propaganda Department to continue to expand the number of propaganda teams and recruit special propaganda personnel in the district. The reason for this is that Mandarin was not popular in this era, and dialects in most areas must be supplemented with propaganda.

At the same time, Xia Jun mobilized one million tons of grain and two hundred thousand cotton coats and sent them to local governments to provide assistance to poor households.

It is very difficult to manage if the territory is large. Just like the batch of materials collected by Xia Jun, it is very worrying how many of them will be sold by local administrative personnel after they are distributed.

The territory has expanded so much and the supervision system has not been perfected, so Xia Jun can only temporarily let those embezzlement personnel be rampant for a while.

When he returned home in the evening, Xia Jun said to Li Shijing again: "Xiaojing, tomorrow you can ask the grain shop to build porridge sheds in various places! Don't starve to death at this time."

It's winter now, and it's easy to starve to death.

Li Shijing asked in confusion: "Didn't we issue relief supplies? Why do we still have to open a porridge shed?"

"What do you know if someone will embezzle the relief supplies? What if they are not sent to the poor people? We are not short of that little food anyway." Xia Jun said. Speaking of this, Xia Jun thought that he had a lot of food, so he added: "These relief points must be handled for a long time. Anyway, we don't lack food. Even if the poor households eat every day, we can hold on."

"Will anyone deliberately eat and drink for free? And in this way, our agricultural income will shrink~!" Li Shijing said doubtfully.

"Even those who have the ability to support themselves and come to the relief station to eat every day, they are not rich and can be counted as poor households. People who are truly rich cannot come to the relief station to eat. After all, the food at the relief station is just basic food such as porridge and steamed buns. Even if they are not poor households, there are very few. If they want to come, we will still raise them, and we are afraid that they will not be able to eat us poor."

"Besides, we cannot be qualified politicians." Xia Jun said meaningfully. Politicians are shameless, and only shameless can be considered qualified. Xia Jun and Li Shijing have become two politicians. Xia Jun's character and the people-oriented system he has made it impossible for him to become a qualified politician.

Li Shijing burst out laughing, stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked Xia Jun's face, and said, "Okay, whatever your husband says is what you say."

Xia Jun smiled and tightened Li Shijing in his arms. Then he turned over and pressed her under him, kissing her seductive cherry lips.
