The next day, Zhang Yue held a banquet in the county government and entertained Xinfeng's celebrities, businessmen, and workshop owners.

Since he beat it, coerced and enticed, the participants patted their chests and promised that they would abide by the law, be a good subject of the imperial court, a good lackey of the society, and would not cause trouble to Shangguan and the imperial court, and would not cause trouble.

Wrapping up workers or something, it is a guarantee, try to avoid it.

At the same time, it also promised to improve the treatment of employees, strengthen welfare and so on.

Of course, they can agree so happily, in addition to Zhang Yue's deterrence, the biggest reason is that the profit margin of the current Xinfeng Workshop is very large!

After all, Xinfeng's workshop park is the first park in the world to be built by a state and provided with funds, venues, and technical support.

The investment in new agricultural tools and new technologies has led to a steady stream of orders for almost everyone.

It is very easy to invest millions and double the profit in a year, several times and tenfold.

Because, they have few competitors.

Since the workshop was put into operation, the curved plows, cocoons, waterwheels, sickles, hoes and other large and small commodities produced by it have all been produced on the assembly line, and the division of labor has been carried out.

Its cost is greatly reduced and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

There are also various new tools and new technologies, so that the quality of products far exceeds the products of ordinary craftsmen.

As a result, Xinfeng's commodities instantly rushed into the market, killing the entire Guanzhong retail craftsmen and small workshop owners, monopolizing the market, and easily incorporating those craftsmen and small workshop owners into Xinfeng's workshop system, making them become craftsmen or technicians in the workshop.

Now, Xinfeng's products have entered the market in Heluo, Qichu and other places.

Sucking the blood of the world, milking the industry of a county, where can it not take off?

Of course, they only pay lip service to it, and it is unknown whether it will fall into practice.

Zhang Yue also understood this, so after waiting for a day, he ordered Hu Jian and Chen Wannian to strengthen the supervision of all workshops in the Workshop Park and Xinfeng System.

If a worker is found to have been abused, maimed, or killed, it will be punished as wounding or murder!

He also ordered Hu Jian, the governor of Xinfeng County, to adopt the public prosecution system for all such criminal acts, and no one needed to make a complaint, as long as the government found and suspected similar behavior, then the county government could take the initiative to file a complaint.

All of a sudden, the whole Xinfeng went up and down, a chicken flew and the dog jumped, and many workshop owners began to jump to scold their mothers.

However, he was forced to hold his nose and obey the government's notices and orders.

After all, in this country, although the five-baht money is useful, it is still not as powerful as the government.

Of course, Zhang Yue also understands that the harsh punishment law cannot stop businessmen from taking risks for profit.

Capital that does not eat people does not exist at all in this world.

So, he had to rack his brains to think of some backup plans for these guys.

One of them was that Zhang Yue declared that Yidi Nuwen was not subject to the jurisdiction of Han law, Han law, and Han system.

In other words, Yidi has no human rights!

This is true, and no one is surprised.

In the past few decades, whether it is the Xiongnu Hu slaves in the north, or the Yue slaves in the south, or the slaves from the Yang or the southwest, they have all been continuously introduced into the inner county with the external expansion of the Han family.

At the same time, there were a large number of other vassal ethnic groups in the Western Regions and the north who followed the Han army to move inward.

Now, in the past few decades, there are at least one million people of all ethnic groups who have migrated inward.

It's just that these Hu people were not very popular in the past.

After all, compared to the Han family's people who are good at farming, these Yidi who live in pursuit of water and grass or barbarians who have never seen the world in the mountains are really not good slaves.

I can only do some rough benzene work, and if it's a little more complicated, I can't keep up.

Therefore, in the past, these Hu slaves and maids were not very popular, and the price was very low.

As a result, the military nobles on the Hexi side do not sell prisoners of war to the inner county much now, and they generally digest them on the spot.

Therefore, it also created a strange phenomenon in the Han Dynasty, obviously the country has won many foreign wars, and expanded the land for thousands of miles, but when the manors and landlords and nobles in the territory were holding slaves, they did not use the low-priced Hu slaves, sharpened their heads, and tried their best to force their compatriots and even the township party to go bankrupt, so as to facilitate the annexation of their land and enslave their wives, sons and grandchildren.

So much so that Hexi has been incorporated into the Han soil for almost 30 years, but the number of Hu people in the local area has always been equal to the number of Han immigrants.

Why?

Isn't it because after the war was won, the captured prisoners of war and herdsmen could not be sold, so they could only be placed on the spot?

But they were placed on the spot, and there were not enough people to teach them to farm, so they had to sell these people at a low price to vassals who lacked population?

Like Huiqu, Hun Evil, Xiu Tu, Yueshi, and Wuheng, they all bought a large number of Xiongnu and Qiang prisoners from the Han army.

It is precisely by buying the population at a low price from the Han army that these once small populations can rise rapidly!

But now, things have changed.

As Xinfeng strictly forbade the slaves and slaves of the Han family, and began to ask for higher treatment and welfare of employees, but it opened an opening for Yidi slaves.

In an instant, a wise person discovered the benefits of Yidinu's maid.

First of all, the Yidi slave, although a little stupid and stupid, is not suitable for fine farming.

However, there are jobs in the workshop that don't require a brain.

For example, moving bricks, chopping raw materials, transporting goods, and many other repetitive tasks that do not require technical skills.

It's like assembling, painting, scrubbing......

And now, the official government of Shaofuqing, Pingjia, a Hun prisoner of war, only needs 3,000 yuan!

Right!

It only costs 3,000 dollars!

At this price, it can't be sold, as long as it has a little relationship, maybe it can be reduced!

Even buy three get one free, buy ten get five free, it's not impossible.

And this price is really very conscientious.

Because, a Han slave Pingjia is at least 8,000 yuan (small slave), and if it is a big slave, it is at least 15,000 yuan!

As a result, these people flocked to Shaofuqing as if they had discovered a new world.

The herdsmen and prisoners of war who returned from the prisoners of war in the battle of Zhang Yue Mobei instantly became fragrant and sweet.

………………

Zhang Yue didn't pay attention to the matter of the workshop park anymore.

At this moment, he has arrived in Lixiang.

Climb Lishan Mountain, overlooking the whole of Lixiang, the road is narrow and rugged, the cottages loom between the mountain gorges, and on the other side of the mountain, there is smoke curling up.

"Over Lishan, it's Hongmen!" Zhang Yue said to Liu Jin: "I don't know if His Highness has ever been to Hongmen?" ”

Liu Jin nodded and said: "A few years ago, I drove with the emperor's grandfather, climbed to Hongmen, looked at the former residence of Emperor Gao, looked at Xiang Yu's old camp, and felt that it was difficult for my ancestors to start a business!" ”

Zhang Yue listened and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the minister also traveled to Hongmen with his brother when he was a child......"

"Your Highness, do you know that the minister is in Hongmen, what he has seen and heard?"

"Huh?" Liu Jin asked curiously, "What did Qing see?" ”

Zhang Yue raised his head, looked in the direction of Hongmen, and said, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" ”

Hongmen County, one of the richest counties in Guan!

Its land is fertile, the scenery is beautiful and magnificent, the terrain is flat, the ditches are vertical and horizontal, the streams are dense, and it is a strategic place to guard the entry and exit of the Guanzhong Plain.

Therefore, when Emperor Gao stationed his troops on Ba, Xiang Yu, who came later, chose to camp his army in Hongmen.

Thus, there is the story of the famous Hongmen Banquet.

But now......

Hongmen County is one of the areas with the most intense land annexation in Guanzhong!

Zhang Yue recalled the memory of the original owner, although his brother studied in Hongmen.

In his young eyes, everything he had seen and heard revealed to him how the feudal landlords and feudal nobles ate people?

Closing his eyes slightly, Zhang Yue had to rejoice that the original owner of his possession lived in Nanling County, which was firmly protected and sheltered by the warm embrace of the Han Empire, and was glad that the empress dowager did not choose to go to Changling to be buried with Emperor Gao, but chose to rise in Nanling, which was opposite Emperor Gao's Changling!

This makes Nanling County become Lingyi County.

Imperial power is like a protective net, blocking out most of the evil and ugliness.

Even Xinfeng is the same.

The existence of the Taishang Emperor Temple also protects many people.

At least the landlords in Xinfeng do not dare to do what they want at will.

However, outside of Lingyi County, this is not the case.

Especially the plains like Hongmen, the anointed land.

In order to annex land and accumulate wealth, these guys are really daring!

Liu Jin listened, slightly pouted, pondered Zhang Yue's words and asked, "What Qing said, is it true?" ”

Zhang Yue nodded, took out a document from his arms, handed it to Liu Jin, and said, "Your Highness, this is the Hongmen ......introduction sent by Gong Sui from Hongmen County yesterday."

Liu Jin took it, held it in his hand, looked at it once, and then lowered his head and became silent.

In the text, the things described made him dumbfounded.

If Gong Sui hadn't lied, he would have only one idea to level down that group of heroes!

Screw their heads off and kick them into the desert of Saibei!

Because, the situation described by Gong Sui made him a little unacceptable that the land in Hongmen County has been divided by no more than a dozen landlords and aristocrats.

It belongs to the real land where the poor have no cone, and the rich have no land!

In the county, the census shows that there are now more than 200 homesteaders with more than 30 mu and less than 200 mu left in Hongmen County.

The remaining 3,800 or so households occupy less than 10 acres of land on average.

Correspondingly, the number of land under their names exceeds thousands of acres, which is only registered, and the hidden land that is not registered may not be less than the land under their names.

What shocked Liu Jin even more was that these guys had the least number of slaves and maids, with hundreds of them and more than 2,000.

They fenced off the land, built manors, learned from the relatives of the princes of Chang'an, built walls, erected watchtowers, and hired a large number of rangers.

Putting down the document in his hand, Liu Jin said angrily: "Confucius said: Is it tolerable or unbearable!" That's where it is! ”

"Since the Hongmen is governed by loneliness, loneliness will never sit idly by!"

"Your Highness is ......angry," Zhang Yue persuaded: "Your Highness's daughter's son is also, don't be angry with outsiders because of this matter...... Besides, such a trivial matter is not worth His Highness's action......"

Perhaps in Hongmen County, those landlords and powerful aristocrats are big men who stomp their feet and want earthquakes in the county.

Maybe even in Guanzhong, these people can be ranked.

But......

In the eyes of those at the top of power, these people are like ants, insignificant, and insignificant!

Liu Jin took the body of Taisun and went down in person, he was lifting coffee for those people, and even Zhang Yue made a move, all for them!

To deal with them, to eradicate them, it's very simple.

In a word, send a small official and bring an army, and you can uproot it!

What is murder?

When Wang Wenshu was the commander of Guangping, he killed all the powerful landlords in Guangping, and frightened the Qi and Zhao thieves near Guangping into not daring to approach Guangping, and when he moved to Hanoi Taishou, he killed all the landlords and nobles in the top 100 in the entire Hanoi County in the first year, and in the second year, he simply emptied the landlords of the entire Hanoi County with more than 5,000 acres of land.

Yizong was the Taishou of Nanyang, and when he saw that his predecessor Ning Cheng occupied an area of more than 1,000 hectares, he dragged this senior, who had served as Jiuqing and was the younger brother of Zhidu, out of his house like a dog and hacked to death by the river in Nanyang.

Yang Ke was even more awesome, one by one, and most of the landlords and powerful forces since the Han Dynasty were brought back to zero.

In comparison, a county is strong, not as good as an ant on the side of the road.

Even if they have a relationship and have a backer in the Chang'an court, they are just slightly stronger ants in front of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

But pinching a small ant and a big ant to death, for adults, the force required is the same, and even if you are in a bad mood and hate the little ant, the force will be much greater!

It's just that......

History has already told Zhang Yue that the landlords forcibly annexed land and exploited the people, and it was impossible to stop it by relying on violence and butcher knives.

The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

Zhidu, Ning Cheng, Yizong, Wang Wenshu, Xianxuan, Yang Ke, and the powerful landlords killed together are enough to go around Chang'an.

But have they changed anything?

No!

After the righteous longitudinal went, Nanyang soon became a paradise for the powerful again, and became one of the masters behind the scenes of the Eastern Han Empire in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wang Wenshu died, and Hanoi Haoqiang made a comeback.

Only a dozen years after Yang Ke's death, the number of powerful landlords in the world has returned to before the death.

There are even billionaires like Yuan Guangguo, who are far better than the Zhuo family and the Cheng Zheng family back then, and they even have the financial resources to build a Yuan Garden that can be comparable to the royal forest garden on their own.

The same thing happened in countless eras, dynasties, and societies that followed.

Facts have proven that violence can only cure the symptoms.

The only way to cure the root cause is to increase productivity, and only by improving productivity can the people really live a good life!

Therefore, Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and said, "Your Highness, let's look at the means of the ministers......

With that, Zhang Yue took the horse and walked down from this Lishan Mountain with Liu Jin to Hongmen County in the distance.
