In a bid to make Russian tax collectors more interested in their jobs, a local government has come up with a rather bizarre scheme – providing them with money-scented soap! The idea is that the special odor will stimulate and inspire tax collectors to love and enjoy collecting money.

为了让俄罗斯的税吏们对自己的工作有兴趣，一当地政府想出一个相当奇特的主意——给税吏们发纸币香味的香皂！这种特殊气味会刺激和激励税吏更热爱并享受收税这份工作。

The idea is the brainchild of Aman Tuleyev, governor of the Kemerovo Oblast region in Central Russia. He seems to strongly believe that by using cash-scented toiletries, the smell of money will linger around tax collectors all day, thus making them love it and increasing their tax collection rate.

科麦洛沃州州长阿曼·图列耶夫想出的这个主意。他似乎坚信用有纸币香味的洗护用品就可以让钱的味道一整天萦绕在税吏们的身上，这能让税吏热爱自己的工作，增加税收。

The concept isn’t new though, as money-based perfume and soap have been around since at least 1998, when an Austrian artist managed to bottle the smell of cash. In 2011, a Japanese study found that having employees smell money all day long is a great way to improve their productivity.

这个想法并不新奇，因为至少在1998年，一位奥地利艺术家就设法把现金的气味装进瓶子里，纸币香味的香水和香皂也已经出现了。2011年，日本研究发现让员工一整天闻这种纸币的气味是能提升他们生产效率的好方法。
