Weihui House.

In fact, among the four prefectures, the people of Weihui Mansion are the most frightened, because it has completely transformed into a commodity society, filled with a large number of industrial and commercial classes, and it is still the main class, some of which are converted from the local agricultural population, and a considerable number of people come from all over the country.

They didn't know how to get back.

If you want to go back to the small-scale peasant society, you have to give them land.

And this time he was appointed as the prefect of Weihui Mansion, named Lu Langzhai, who was the general judge of Weihui Mansion, in charge of the farmland, water conservancy and grain transportation of Weihui Mansion.

Because the ministers of the DPRK and China also know that the biggest problem for these officials when they come back is how to go back, and they all arrange some officials with experience in managing the economy to serve as the top leaders.

And the fact is just as Aunt Xu expected, on the first day of Lu Langzhai's return, he swept all those gentry and litigants out of the house, and he didn't leave any of them.

You all get out of here.

But then again, the location of this court is the former government, and if these people are not driven out, how can Lu Langzhai settle in.

He didn't even want to put up a notice to close the court and the court of litigation, what kind of stuff is this, the name is not right, the word is not good, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and he is not worthy of me to put up a notice.

As for the pickets, they were all closed, but the pickets were not swept away, and Lu Langzhai also needed a messenger, and the pickets were all soldiers, so he was not qualified to expel people, so he arranged these people to serve as officials in the government and various county offices.

Unlike Kaifeng Mansion, Chen Wenxun served as the prefect there, and the first people who visited him were some scholars.

There are no scholars in Weihui Mansion, and the biggest in Weihui Mansion in recent years is a businessman.

Therefore, after Lu Langzhai settled in, the big businessmen of Weihui Mansion were the first to feast on Lu Langzhai.

Lu Langzhai also agreed.

Chen Lou.

When Lu Langzhai entered the conference room, more than 20 wealthy businessmen such as Qin Zhuang, Hu Yuan, Song Hui, and Qin Dalong immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

"The grass people have seen adults."

Lu Langzhai didn't make a sound, went straight to the seat in front of him and sat down, looked at these rich businessmen left and right, and then said, "Someone! ”

Immediately walked into the four yacha.

Lu Langzhai said: "Move all these chairs and tables out." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Feng and the others watched the chair behind them being moved out, as if they had lost their support, and they couldn't help but tremble with fear.

After a while, in the entire conference room, except for the chair under Lu Langzhai's buttocks, the rest of the tables and chairs were all emptied.

The meaning is very obvious.

Why do you sit under the same roof with me?

These wealthy businessmen were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and said in unison: "The grass people should die, they have offended the adults, and please spare their lives." ”

Lu Langzhai nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you have not completely forgotten this official and people's courtesy. ”

This is really a knife hidden in a smile, these rich businessmen knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Lu Langzhai glanced at them coldly, and said: "If it weren't for the transformation of the official office at this moment, this official would never come here, and the invitation post you made was in the eyes of this official, it was a kind of humiliation to this official. ”

Zhou Feng and they only felt that they had died unjustly, we obviously invited you, why did it become that if you call, you will come, and if you linger, you will go.

We can't afford this pot!

But they also knew what Lu Langzhai meant, that is, they should go to visit by themselves, just an invitation letter, which was too casual.

It's not that they did it on purpose, it's just that they are used to holding meetings in Chen Lou, and it's a banquet, of course, they also pay to entertain Lu Langzhai in the best restaurant, but Lu Langzhai wants to use the topic to play, and they have no choice.

"Damn the grass people."

The wealthy businessmen said in unison.

"Forget it this time, but I don't want another time."

Lu Langzhai asked again: "This official is busy with official business now, this banquet will be exempted, if you have anything, please hurry up." ”

These wealthy businessmen are looking left and right, and they are encouraging each other, you say.

Lu Langzhai frowned and said, "If you are fine, then the official will have to go back." ”

In the end, Zhou Feng stubbornly said: "My lord, we... Grass people, grass people just... I just want to ask my lord if there will be any adjustments to the business aspect, such as the previous contract law, tax law, etc., which... These will not change.

The grass people don't have any other meaning, and the grass people are just afraid that they don't know the rules, and they will delay the payment of taxes when the time comes, or pay less, and give... I'm sorry for your inconvenience, adult. ”

"That's because of this!"

Lu Langzhai smiled coldly and said, "It seems that you all think that you are no longer my Ming people, and you can't even remember my Ming tax law and criminal law." ”

"The grass people don't dare."

"Don't dare?"

Lu Langzhai snorted: "Since you don't dare, why do you still have to ask this question, the criminal law is my Ming criminal law, and the tax law is the Ming tax law, do you even have to post notices from this official?" ”

"Damn the grass people."

"That is not unto death."

Lu Langzhai suddenly lost his momentum, and said, "You all get up." ”

Zhou Feng and the others were stunned for a moment, first glanced at Lu Langzhai secretly, and saw that he was not talking back, so they said in unison: "Thank you, Lord for sparing your life." ”

Trembling to his feet.

Lu Langzhai smiled and said: "In the past, the official is not to blame, but if you commit it again in the future, the official will be severely punished, the official hopes that you can abide by the law in Weihui Mansion, keep to yourself, and do your business well, and don't ask too much about the rest of the things, don't worry about it, you all do it yourself." ”

With that, he got up and left.

But all officials, this big stick and red dates trick will be used.

In fact, Lu Langzhai also knew the importance of the current merchants to Weihui Mansion, he would not be stupid enough to drive all these merchants away immediately, but he must establish his own authority, and he must also suppress these wealthy merchants.

He first gave these merchants a disadvantage to deter them, but in the end he also hinted to these merchants that as long as you keep to yourself, then I will not trouble you.

So when he went back, he still ordered someone to post a notice.

The notice did not deny everything Guo Dan had done, he just said that Guo Dan's coming here was just a temporary adjustment, it was impossible to last long, and he would eventually get back on track, and it was a matter of course for me to come back, but it was a matter of time before I came back.

This also makes a lot of sense, no matter how Guo Dan dies, it is impossible to contract forever.

As for criminal law, as for tax law, it is still back to the past.

But it also hinted at the notice that everyone would not be forced to return to the countryside to farm.

He used to be engaged in the economy, and he also knew that he would not be able to go back for a while, and at present, a large amount of land in Weihui Mansion was in the hands of landlords, and even if he wanted to return to the small peasant society, he would have to change slowly.

He predicted that these merchants were just trying to make money, and as long as they were allowed to make money, they wouldn't make trouble.

But he clearly didn't get it right.

A very key reason why Weihui Mansion can be mass-produced is the sense of security.

These businessmen dare to invest so much money in Weihui Mansion and build such a large workshop, because of the guarantee of the contract system, no matter how much money I put here, it is very safe.

Once you lose the system of mutual checks and balances between the three houses, then it is up to you Lu Langzhai to decide, so who would dare to invest so much money here.

With your words, we may go bankrupt.

Lu Langzhai is really smart, but he was mistaken by cleverness.

The first fire he took office was very strong, but it directly made those wealthy businessmen feel very afraid of him.

You can remove our chairs from someone's restaurant today, and you can come to my house tomorrow and take all my money.

On the second day after the notice was posted, Qin Zhuang directly announced that he would not renew the contract with the royal family and return the workshop to the royal family.

Zhou Feng, Cao Da, Hu Yuan, and other wealthy businessmen who used to use Luwangfu as their production base all made the same choice.

The production center of Weihui Mansion was in the former Luwang Mansion, which was originally leased to them by Guo Dan, but it was not their territory.

When Guo Dan signed the contract to terminate the contract, a mine was buried in the contract, that is, the former Luwang Mansion was returned to the royal family, but it did not return to the local government.

Then the lease will have to be renegotiated.

The royal family can choose not to rent to them, and they can also choose not to rent.

Now they all choose not to rent.

In fact, Zhou Feng and the others are waiting for Lu Langzhai to abolish the contract law, as long as Lu Langzhai abolishes this, then all employment contracts cannot be counted, because there is a very important regulation in the employment contract.

That is, the businessman is responsible for helping employees pay taxes, but this tax has also changed, this is a piece of waste paper, every word on it is wrong, how can this be counted.

But the people don't fight with the officials, and they don't dare to openly go against the government, they just say that the royal family has taken back the workshop, and we can't start work.

This "center" is gone, and the surrounding area must be dead.

Qinzhuang is only engaged in textile workshops, and dyes are produced by other merchants, and the largest textile workshop suddenly closed, and the orders were instantly reduced by seventy percent, and the dye workshop was instantly closed.

None of us produce, we don't develop.

Construction workshops, transportation, fleets, warehouses, all of them can't run.

Suddenly a domino effect occurred.

The business of the entire Weihui Mansion suddenly appeared in a state of shock, that is, it completely stopped.

However, these merchants are still very "human", although they do not pay another penny of silver to the employees, they keep some goods in the warehouse, and all the goods are distributed to the employees as a kind of compensation.

In fact, all the valuable goods have been transported away before, leaving only some ordinary daily necessities.

They thought to themselves, if we do this, these goods may not be kept, because Lu Langzhai can seize them all with a word, so it is better to give them to everyone.

Anyway, I've already lost so much money, do you care about this little bit?

Before Lu Langzhai could react, there were nearly 100,000 unemployed employees in the city in an instant.

At the same time, all the counties are unemployed.

This was a very, very terrifying thing in ancient times!
