System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 188 The disbelief of outsiders
"Let's go, there is a Cuju competition today. It's the Jianxi West Women's Team versus the Textile Factory Women's Team!" In the lively market, a man who had just finished work hurriedly ran to a house with a brick and wood structure with an open door.

As soon as we entered, there was a bustling crowd.

Some waved a money bag and shouted: "Buijian Western Women wins! 2:1!"

The person pulled over by the man was a pottery artist. After being urged by his friends many times, he led his whole family to come here. He just arrived yesterday.

The man slapped two pennies on the table: "I'll win if I buy the girl from the textile shop!"

Then the man took a piece of wood, with the game time written on it, who won, how many coins, and the odds were 1:1.5.On the back of the wooden chip is an advertisement for the Song Family Pottery Workshop!There is also an anti-counterfeiting mark in the lower left corner.

"Taoshi, would you like to place a bet? A small bet will make you happy, but a big bet will hurt your health. Two pennies is all you need. As long as you win, you can get 3 pennies!" The man carefully put the wooden chips into his arms.

The prize redemption only depends on the wooden chips, but it doesn't matter who the owner of the wooden chips is.

The man called Tao Shi glanced at the sales counter with disgust: "Is this the Heavenly Kingdom you call? Does the official support gambling?"

Tao Shi hated gambling. His family was originally a wealthy family. Although it was not as rich as a wealthy family, his parents were loving, his brothers and sisters were respectful, and he was able to fill his stomach every meal.

But since Aweng was deliberately dragged into a gambling house, the family has completely broken up.In order to repay his gambling capital, all his family property was sold, his mother died of illness, and his brothers were beaten to death by gangsters who came to collect debts.

There was only one person left in the whole family, Tao Shi.

"This is not gambling, this is football lottery! There are regulations in the sales center. Except for businessmen and nobles, each purchase cannot exceed one hundred cents! Competitions are not held every day. If you insist on ignoring the rules, that's fine. It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost.”

"That's right! Half of each sale will be used to build bridges, pave roads and improve business."

“Here we take it from the people and use it for the people!”

Although the people around him didn't express any explicit accusations, they all seemed to be saying that Taoshi didn't know what was good or bad.

The man quickly handed over his hands and apologized to the people around him: "My good friend is new here and knows nothing about the matter, so he said something rude. Please forgive me!"

Then everyone softened their tone and said: "You will know after you have stayed for a long time that Bashu is the best place, not much worse than Handan and Xianyang!"

"The female monarch is even more of a good official! In Bashu County, not picking up things on the road and helping each other are all due to the female monarch!"

The man smiled and pulled Tao Shi away, and whispered: "You must remember that in Bashu County you must not say anything bad about the female monarch, and it is best not to say anything bad about the government!"

Tao Shi regretted it so much, why did he just believe this guy's words and come to Bashu?

"Your government actually controls speech to this extent? Even in Xianyang, people are allowed to discuss things."

The man looked around, but luckily there was no one there.

The man couldn't help complaining: "You speak so freely, I'm really worried about you being put in a sack. It's not that the government doesn't allow it, but the people love and appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts."

You are bluffing me with a serious face: "That's it? This shabby city?"

The man paused and said, "I heard that when the funds are available, the female queen will rebuild the city. Everyone is saving money and waiting to buy one or two houses in the expanded city." Tao Shi raised his eyebrows: "You Now that we are prosperous, we dare to talk about buying a house."

For those who have no ancestral property, buying a house with bare hands is worthy of honoring their ancestors!

The man laughed and said, "You will find out when you look for a job tomorrow. In Bashu, the best job is to work for the government, with high wages and good benefits. The second is to work for members of the chamber of commerce, which has a minimum wage standard."

"minimum wage standard?"

"Exactly! It is reviewed every six months. The current minimum wage standard is 400 yuan per month. Don't suffer a loss! If you want to do some business on your own, go to the Ministry of Commerce to register first and obtain a business license. Only the production fee will be charged. 1 penny."

Tao Shi was confused when he heard this, but he was sure of one thing. This lady was indeed so bold that she could dominate the world in Bashu!
She acted so outrageously, but no one dared to mess with her. Either there was someone above, or the news couldn't get out of Bashu!Maybe both!
Tao Shi sighed and decided to go back to his residence first.

He rented a single room near a public toilet. In order to be close to a public toilet, the landlord specifically asked for an extra penny.

"Open defecation will be severely punished! People have three urgent needs. Putting a toilet bucket in this single room will affect the quality of life! It is better to spend an extra penny and find a room closer to the public toilet."

Tao Shi's wife deeply agrees.

"Husband, are you back? The salt in Bashu is really cheap, and all kinds of mountain delicacies are fresh and cost-effective! There is even rice!" Tao Shi's wife went to the market with her neighbors early in the morning.

The more she shopped, the more she felt that moving her family to Bashu was the right choice!The materials here are rich and the prices are cheap. Even if the wages are not as high as those in the Central Plains, it is still extremely suitable!

"Do you dare to think that the entire Fucheng patrol did not bully men and women or rely on their power to bully others! They are really maintaining public order in Fucheng!" When mentioned this, Tao Shi's wife was full of praise.

Such good security made her feel at ease as she always went out alone.

Tao Shi felt that his wife had long hair and short knowledge. She only focused on the little profit in front of her, so she told her about the football lottery.

Unexpectedly, the wife’s attention was actually focused on the women’s Cuju team: “Are you talking about the women’s team of the Textile Factory? I’ve heard people say that the girls there are all as beautiful as gods! Most of them are prostitutes and queens. Gave them a new job.”

Perhaps because they are both women, Tao Shi's wife has great kindness towards the women in the textile shop.

Who would do that unless absolutely necessary?Fortunately, they are lucky people, and the female queen gives them a chance to be reborn!
Tao Shi said dissatisfied: "Is that the point? The point is the unhealthy trend of gambling!"

But the wife said: "People who like gambling will go to the secret bank even if they don't have football lottery. It's better to put it on the table, at least under the eyes of the government, no one dares to deliberately frame it or deliberately set a trap!"

"What's more, we are just ordinary people. Don't we only care about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? In terms of people's livelihood, Fucheng is much better than other places. Think of Weaver Girl!"

His wife's words made Tao Shi fall into silence.

The niece is their eldest daughter. She is fifteen years old. She is good at weaving and looks very beautiful!
Why did Tao Shi's family move?That was precisely because the local chief wanted to seize the Weaver Girl by force. The key was that he was nearly [-] years old, and a normal woman would enter the house standing upright and come out horizontally!

How could Tao Shi bear to let his daughter die?

But after coming to Bashu, perhaps because of the border area, the folk customs are strong, and women go out normally, no worse than men!The highest officer is also a woman!
Tao Shi got a new job and went to look for a job early the next morning. When passing by the Song family pottery shop, he remembered the advertisement on the wooden chips and walked in...
