Chapter 16: Someone from the Palace
Su Qiyuan actually didn't know why his master was angry.
In fact, this is not to blame Su Qiyuan, before Su Qiyuan became the master of the Su family, although his status in the Su family was not high, but after all, he was a big family with the limitations of thinking.
For those tenants who work for the Su family, Su Qiyuan is concerned about how much grain and silk they can hand over every year, and has never cared about whether these tenants are doing well at home, whether there are natural disasters and poor harvests this year, and whether they can have enough to eat.
Xiao Jing is different, Xiao Jing shuttled from modern society, shuttled to this world and came to Xiaojia Village, he has seen many people in Xiaojia Village because they can't pay taxes and rent land, life is difficult, and even starve to death, he is not willing to have such a situation within his ability.
Xiao Jing said, "You get up." ”
Su Qiyuan was already sweating profusely, he stood up and didn't dare to make a sound.
Xiao Jing said: "Now the Su family needs to reform, starting with these tenants, we don't need you to do much, just reduce the rent of these tenants and buy their silk at a proper market price." ”
Xiao Jing knew that according to his current ability, there was absolutely no way to change some of the basic rules of this world, but if he relied on his own efforts to make the farmers live a little better, it would not be bad.
Su Qiyuan obviously thought more than Xiao Jing, he said: "Nominally, we are the imperial merchants, and the royal family orders us are to allocate our own, but ......"
Su Qiyuan gritted his teeth and said: "But today's royal family, the Qin family, is arrogant and lascivious, insatiable, and only gives us the price of one section of ten pieces of silk, if we reduce the rent of tenants and buy their silk at the market price, then the life of the Su family will not be easy." ”
In the secular world, the status of businessmen is the lowest, and the Su family used to have the protection of cultivators of great monks, and the situation was relatively better, if it was an ordinary businessman, although he was rich, he had no social status at all.
Xiao Jing knew that the Su family's industry had to be reformed, and there were three directions for reform.
One is to form a centralized production plant, changing the old family-style silk production method, so as to maximize productivity.
The second is to figure out the relationship between the royal family and the Su family, take the goods and give money, whether you are the royal family or the white family, you can't owe a penny.
Third, after the demise of the Zhu family, the Su family naturally occupied the Zhu family's Cao Yun industry, and in the future, whether it is grain transportation or Cao Yun, it is in the hands of the Su family.
Xiao Jing thought that if he hadn't inherited the Ten Thousand Worlds Immortal Sect, he would have been a great reformer and businessman in this era, but if he hadn't inherited the Ten Thousand Worlds Immortal Sect, Xiao Jing would have no chance to enter a higher society at all, and would always be just a tenant.
Regarding Su Qiyuan's worries, Xiao Jing said: "I'll come down and formulate a plan, and you will reform according to this plan, and first reduce the tenant rent of farmers by half this year." ”
Xiao Jing asked the Su family to reduce the rent, it was not an impulsive move, if the Su family was compared to a group company, then those tenants were the employees of the group company. If only the workload of workers is increased but not wages, the motivation of workers will be reduced.
The Su family's rent reduction was quickly implemented, and the tenants of the Su family in Fengtang City cheered, everyone couldn't eat enough before, and the tenant rent was reduced to at least be able to eat.
In a short period of time, Xiao Jing's reputation spread all over Fengtang City.
"I heard that the owner of the Su family, who is now the husband of Miss Su's family, Xiao Da Benefactor, is the one who led us to reduce the rent!"
"Xiao Da Benefactor is really our great benefactor!
"Grandpa, this year, we have to pay more silk to the Su family, Xiao Da Benefactor has reduced the tenant rent for us, we don't pay a little more silk, we are ashamed of Xiao Da Benefactor's kindness to us!"
Farmers are so easily satisfied, and the farmers who had become walking dead just to survive suddenly became angry.
Moreover, in Fengtang City, more and more farmers are willing to become tenants of the Su family to help the Su family reclaim wasteland, grow grain, and breed silk.
It's just that for the other families in Fengtang City and the Zhizhou of Fengtang City, this is a serious disruption to the market, which will cause other big families to have no tenants to farm.
The Qin dynasty of the Xuanwu State was a typical feudal system, and the bureaucratic class was also a large landlord class, and those officials had no one to farm for them, so where did the money come from?
Fengtang City, Wang Zhizhou's home.
Wang Zhizhou is receiving several big families in Fengtang City, and these big families are all thinking about Wang Zhizhou's grievances.
"Zhizhou! You have to be the master for us! Now that the Su family has merged with the Zhu family's industry, we won't be able to live at all!"
"Zhizhou, isn't that uncle of the Su family the village the village master of Xiaojia Village? I don't know why he is a master of the cultivation world. ”
"I thought that the Zhu family had Fengmingzong as a backer, but I didn't expect that Fengmingzong would not work, I heard that Fengmingzong was disbanded by their sect master, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Zhizhou, the Su family doesn't take you, the parent official, in their eyes. ”
Wang Zhizhou stood up, his heart was also very annoyed, he said: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me. The Su family is now in full swing, but it's not that no one can take care of it.
They have rules in the cultivation world, and the royal family also has royal rules. I have already received a flying pigeon message, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the chief eunuch of the Shipping Division Li Gonggong is about to go to Fengtang City to supervise the autumn harvest, and the people of the Su family have reduced the rent and collected the silk at the market price, this year is definitely not able to complete the royal order, and it will be up to the Su family to explain when the time comes!"
Wang Zhizhou thought about the east and arched his hand, and said: "Gonggong Li is the second prince's person, and the second prince is about to be made the crown prince, so I don't believe that the people of the Su family dare to go against the royal family." ”
Wang Zhizhou said: "Everyone come here, let's do this......"
Just when Xiao Jing carried out drastic reforms to the Su family, Su Qiyuan brought another bad news: "The royal family is here, this is to receive the goods according to the order." ”
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "It's just right to come, I still have to ask the royal people to make up for the arrears of the previous few times." ”
Xiao Jing wants to restore the prosperity of the Ten Thousand Realms Immortal Sect, and the unification of the Nine Realms and Kyushu is an unavoidable path, not to mention that he is from the royal family, even if the Great Qin Emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom comes in person, Xiao Jing's plan will not change.
Xiao Jing instructed: "Qi Yuan, you go and deal with it first." ”
Then Xiao Jing gave Su Qiyuan ten high-grade spirit stones and said, "Just in case." ”
With Xiao Jing here, Su Qiyuan was also full of confidence and said, "Obey the master's orders." ”
