Chapter 224: The Donglin Party Sells Cotton

Killing Jin Zude is not a trivial matter, this is a human life, and it is a squire with a complicated relationship in the guard.

The old woman stood up, glanced at the bloody Jin Zude, and took the initiative to vote for the official.

What the old woman didn't know was that there were many old people like her, who took the initiative to surrender and said that they had killed Jin Zude.

There are only one or two, and they may be put in prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

Local governance is also complicated, and so many old people are all prestigious old people in some local clans.

Although they are all poor clans, but the father and grandfather who killed them, can they not take revenge?

Besides, these poor clansmen have been soldiers for generations, and they are all very fierce.

I couldn't deal with it, so I could only report it to Shuntian Mansion and hand it over to the prefect Song Yingjing to deal with this matter.

The prefect Song Yingjing learned of this big case involving human life, put down the case in his hand as soon as possible, and went to the Baiyangkou Office in person.

After a detailed investigation, it was known that the squire was vicious and wanted to overturn the steam factory with a civil uprising, and at the same time, he felt uncomfortable, but he still enforced the law impartially.

Jin Zude died in the clan fight, and the participating clans were fined 100 stone of grain for each family, a total of more than 1,000 stone of grain, and handed over to the Jin family.

Hundred stones of grain were placed in the past, but it was a lot of money.

Now, one acre of land can produce twenty stone potatoes, not just five acres of potatoes, and all the clans happily handed over the potato flour.

Jin Zude's eldest son almost fainted out of breath as he looked at the mountains of potato flour, but he couldn't find any reason.

After all, the person who made such a punishment was the prefect of Suncheonfu, and the eldest son of Jin Zude usually acted as a prestige in the township, and when he saw the prefect, he was trembling and couldn't even speak.

I could only eat coptis dumbly, pinching my nose and acknowledging the final result of this incident.

The people of the guard were quickly rewarded for their kindness.

The second steam factory built on the bank of the Beisha River not only recruited a lot of strong laborers, so that the people in the health center who had no land had a bowl of rice to eat, but also began to sell cotton slivers.

A load only costs one tael or three pieces of silver.

If a load of cotton is counted, it can roughly spin more than eight pieces of cotton cloth.

According to the current market price of two coins and one horse, eight horses of cotton cloth are one or two or six dollars of silver.

Ordinary people spin a load of cotton, and they can earn three dollars of silver from it.

The common people of Shuntianfu were boiling in an instant, and they took out all their net worth to go to the cotton steam factory to buy cotton slivers, and after the cotton slivers were bought, men, women and children went into battle together, desperately weaving yarn, and then spinning the yarn into cotton cloth.

A few days later, the entire Suncheonfu was filled with small handicraft workshops, and the handicraft economy, which had been hit, developed extremely vigorously.

It is estimated that more people will go to Huangcun to kowtow this year.

It didn't take long for another problem at the steam factory for sliver steam to run out of cotton.

The factory owners went to Zhu Shun to complain, hoping that the president could come up with some way to transfer a batch of cotton from other places in Beizhili.

Zhu Shun was also a little helpless in the face of this thorny problem, after all, a convenient road system has not yet been established, and the cost of transporting cotton from other parts of Shuntianfu here has increased a lot.

However, someone helped him solve this problem, and it was still the Donglin Party.

In a quadrangular pavilion full of ancient charm.

An old man and a middle school, two officials in official uniforms, sat opposite each other.

Sit on either side of a stone table with a flag box on the right-hand side.

Gu Shilang picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard with a 'pop'.

Jia Hanfu, who was holding the sunspot, first replaced the incense burner with new agarwood, twisted a sunspot and landed on the chessboard: "Teacher, Chongzhen began to transport raw cotton from all over the country in the second year, and the major warehouses are almost unable to put it down, and continue to transport it?" ”

Gu Shilang didn't speak, beckoned, and the maids who were waiting next to him all retreated: "Go on." ”

Jia Hanfu was a little unsure of the reason why his teacher did this, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he couldn't help but be distracted when he fell into the son, and he was soon slaughtered by his teacher.

Gu Shilang didn't continue to review, and began to answer the doubts in his heart for his disciple: "Han Fu, as early as last year, as a teacher, I asked you to visit all parts of Shuntian Mansion to investigate one thing, right." ”

Speaking of this matter, Jia Hanfu was also full of confusion: "Teacher, what does the life and death of those lowly people have to do with us nobles." ”

"Isn't it because of the steam factory built by Zhu Shun, what the hell is this name, so tongue-twisting."

"As a result, even if the people weave cotton cloth, all of them lose money, and no one wants to weave cloth, and the already poor family is even more unable to eat."

Jia Hanfu can be valued by the dignified Zhengsanpin squire among many protégés, and has the opportunity to sit here and play chess, and his own talent is very outstanding.

It's just that because he despised the people too much and didn't think about it deeply, now that the teacher mentioned this matter, Jia Hanfu suddenly straightened up and figured out the key.

Teacher, this is trying to destroy Zhu Shun with a popular uprising.

But there is one thing that he doesn't understand, it's not difficult to destroy Zhu Shun with a popular uprising, just consume all the grace that Zhu Shun exerted to the people first, and that's it.

This is also the reason why the Donglin Party has not used radical measures in the past four years.

When the steam factories on the banks of the Yongding River expand to a certain scale, there is no need for the Donglin Party to take action personally, and the angry people will personally smash those steam factories, so that Zhu Shun's hard work in the past four years will be ruined.

But why did the Donglin Party bring in large quantities of cotton from all over the country?

Soon, the quick-witted Jia Han remembered another thing, Zhu Shun seemed to see through the temple calculations of the Donglin Party, and began to sell cotton slivers at a very low price to calm the resentment in the hearts of the people.

Jia Hanfu's family also had several small cotton workshops in the past, but unfortunately they were all washed away under the impact of the steam factory.

I also know that the cost of combing a load of raw cotton into clean cotton is about one or two or six yuan, but the cotton sliver sold by Zhu Shun is only one or three yuan of silver.

At least three cents of silver were lost.

Could it be that the teacher wants to use the method of consumption to consume all the factory owners, which is another tongue-twisting name.

Gu Shilang saw that his protégé suddenly raised his face, and his face showed surprise, as if he didn't expect him, a teacher, to think so long-term.

As early as four years ago, I saw today.

After all, there are too many variables involved, and Zhu Shun suddenly fell, or instead of running a weaving factory, he went to other money-making businesses, or was severely suppressed by the Donglin Party and Jin merchants.

There are too many variable factors in this, how can we be sure that Zhu Shun will expand the steam factory on a large scale in four years, and it will also have a great impact on the people.

Gu Shilang personally reviewed the game this time, looked at the clean chessboard in front of him, and said a sentence that was enough to destroy Zhu Shun.

"Han Fu, cotton can be shot."
