Everyone couldn't react for a while, there was such a good thing in this world, and the peasants, who were fed up with usury, couldn't believe it.

At this time, the steward said: "The emperor thinks about you in his heart and can't bear to watch you suffer, so the emperor reduces his own use and saves his own money to buy land." I just want you to have your own land, and the emperor calls this a cultivator's land. ”

As soon as the steward said this, everyone believed it, and there would be nothing wrong with what the emperor said, since the emperor was thrifty and used to buy land for everyone, then of course such a good thing must thank the emperor first.

So everyone knelt down together and said, "Long live the emperor!" ", "The Emperor is well-being", "The emperor is merciful and compassionate", "The emperor lives a long life", ...... All kinds of blessings they could come up with were spoken. The steward rolled his eyes when he heard that he was 100 years old, but fortunately, all his subordinates who came this time would not talk nonsense, otherwise this sentence would make people turn it out and make their own accusations.

After everyone finished shouting, the steward said: "The original thing about working here is true, if you are willing to work here, stay here, and if you are willing to go back to farming, we will send you back." Let's think about it first, and tomorrow we will decide whether you want to stay or stay based on your opinions. ”

These migrant workers began to fall into confusion. "Dad, you see, the houses here have been built, obviously for us to live in, which shows that they are not deceiving people, it is better to leave Xiao Er here, and we will take the boss back to farm."

"Mother, I don't want to go back to farming, I work hard here every day, with my body, I can earn 300 wen a day, and I don't have so much money for farming."

"Boss, you say, or the two of us take San'er back and buy more than a dozen acres of land first, so that we have food in our hands and don't panic."

Such discussions and disputes occur in most families, and the next morning when the steward comes to count, all the men and women who have already married are going home, while those who have no parents choose to stay in the mines, and those who have surplus labor in the family leave their surplus labor in the mines.

The next episode of the mother-son separation plays out everywhere, and then the tearful mother and the longing child wave goodbye and get on the bus back to their hometown and walk into the mine that brought them wealth and hope.

The same thing happened at the Jingcheng cement factory in Xianghe, and the results were similar, with the farmers first choosing to go home and buy land, while the surplus labor chose to work in the cement factory.

After Lu Long sold the land, the landlord found that the tenants who had already gone to the Qian'an iron mine had returned, and felt deceived. flocked to the county yamen to find Wu Mengming. Wu Mengming greeted him with a smile, pointed to the two scholars beside him and said, "This is a student from the research institute, and they are responsible for guiding you to build a factory." After the factory is built, the royalties are paid, and you can start production. The highway supporting the railway needs a lot of cement, and you can weigh it yourself, how to produce cement quickly, and don't even compete for the cement from afar in the capital, then don't blame me. ”

Only then did the landlord settle down, but when he heard the cement from the capital, he muttered again, and someone asked: "The relationship in the capital should be tougher, they choose the cement of the capital, how can we fight with them?" ”

Wu Mengming said: "Don't worry about this, the emperor has a regulation, you provide cement to the road, if there are more than two companies that provide the same product, they must open bidding, according to your price and quality to decide whose cement." As long as your cement is good, the price is always one less freight than theirs, so why are you afraid of not winning? If there is a private deal, you file a complaint with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and they are waiting for such a case. ”

Lulong County had to open a total of four cement plants, but because there were too many people, more than 20 could only open one factory in the end. Therefore, along with the students of the graduate school, there was also a eunuch from the patent office, who was responsible for calculating the proportion of everyone's shares for the landlords in Lulong County, and at the same time calculating the patent fee according to the scale.

The landlords surrounded the three of them and went to the restaurant, this is the God of Wealth, and he is not waiting carefully. After they were full of wine and food, the landlords quietly proposed to the two students to go to the Qinglou to have a good time, but the students refused.

Student A said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the site selection of the cement plant is extremely complicated, there are too many factors to consider, it takes more time, and the number of internships in the cement plant is not very large, and there will be cement plants to be built in various places." So let's get down to business first. Besides, we can't go to the Qinglou when we go out on business, otherwise we will be kicked out of the research institute. ”

When the landlord saw that they insisted, he was no longer reluctant, and he just avoided the embarrassment of the eunuchs who came with him. So the eunuch first notarized the proportion of shares for them. Because royalties are charged on a scale-by-scale basis, this step is essential.

After verifying the size and proportion of the mine, there was nothing to do with the eunuchs. Everyone pooled together a thousand yuan to give to the eunuch, but the eunuch refused. He took a piece of money as usual and said, "You can take the notarial deed signed by the Sprinkler family to the county bank and pay the patent fee to the account of the patent office." After a hard trip, the Sprinkle family still has to take a profit, which the emperor has acquiesced. Ladies and gentlemen, the mountains and rivers have met, so don't pass by. ”

After the eunuch left, a landlord smiled and said: "This father-in-law has watched too many dramas, and there is also a meeting in the landscape." ”

Student A said with a smile: "Recently, the Chinese Academy of Literature and Literature has been rehearsing, and many people in the capital have gone to see it. Father-in-law Cao is particularly obsessed, and he must watch every new play, so he often speaks with the tone of the people in the play. ”

Everyone is envious, Lu Long is located in a remote area, there are few opera troupes, these landlords are actually not how luxurious they live, many people still sing and listen to other people's happy events.

With the help of the students of the research institute, the cement plant in Lulong County was slowly built, but it would obviously take a long time to produce cement, and the students of the research institute estimated that according to their construction speed, it should not be put into operation until early next year. And after they taught the craftsmen to look at the drawings for construction, they said goodbye, because they had to go somewhere else to guide the construction of the cement plant. Of course, the technical guidance fee is indispensable to them.

The same is true of the paper mill in Yutian, the scale is counted, the patent fee is paid, and the students of the graduate school guide the construction of the paper mill. Unlike the cement factory, along with the students of the institute, there was also an official sent by a new department of the Ministry of Industry called the Environmental Protection Bureau, who did not come to collect money, but to pay fines.
