As long as God doesn't make trouble, this year will definitely be a bumper year.
Why did the pangolin eagle pay such a big price to seize the land of Liulin County, that is, because the land of Liulin is fertile!
Not surprisingly, it is more than enough to pay grain and taxes to the imperial court.
You Jingyan stared at Wu Wen with that sharp eye and said: "Master Wu, I admit that you are a good official, but you are the son of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the county of the Ming Dynasty, don't think about Liulin County because you are from Liulin County, and take a long-term view." ā
This is the first time You Jingyan has said such heavy words to Wu Wen.
Wu Wen is good at everything, but he just takes Liulin County too seriously. Liulin County is already like a big mountain, and it is about to crush him.
"Master Wu, don't worry, I won't let Liu Lin suffer." You Jingyan finally added, took the saber from Li Bing's hand and walked quickly towards the front.
The meaning of saying this is to tell Wu Wen that since he is the county commander of Liulin County, You Jingyan will also fight for the policies and benefits that the imperial court should have.
You Jingyan and the three of them were taken by the family to a big mansion where they could still see the original appearance.
Although this mansion has been cleaned up quite neatly, it is difficult to hide his former defeat, and the paint on the heavy wooden door has fallen off, mottled to show his old age.
A wall in the northeast corner has collapsed, although the collapsed bricks have been sorted out and servants are rebuilding the wall.
Walking into this house, there are busy servants inside and outside the courtyard, weeding, tidying up furniture, etc., in short, you don't even have a place to put your feet.
"You-sama, you're here." A rich man ran to You Jingyan and said apologetically: "Xiaomin has been waiting for adults outside the mansion, and he didn't think that people have three urgencies, so he ......."
The rich merchant blushed and had a thick neck, and he couldn't talk any more.
"It's okay, it's okay, you understand. What's your last name? You Jingyan didn't care, and finally wanted to call the rich businessman in front of him, as if he didn't know what his surname was?
"Xiaomin, surnamed Zhang, bow Changzhang." The rich merchant replied.
"Oh, shopkeeper Zhang, you're welcome, You didn't wear an official uniform today, just came to your house for a light meal, you're like this, I'm not comfortable, you're not feeling well, are you?"
You Jingyan was indeed very uncomfortable by the respectful attitude of the rich businessman in front of him, but what he said made this rich businessman's good impression of You Jingyan not know how many notches he had raised.
"Yes, Yu-sama." The rich businessman really changed a lot in his behavior: "My lord, and Xiaomin, a few shopkeepers should have greeted the adults with Xiaomin, but because they have just come back like Xiaomin, they can't do many things without showing up, so they ......."
This is an excuse, after being a shopkeeper for so many years, haven't you cultivated one or two cronies? If they have to intervene in everything, they won't be tired to death!
You Jingyan didn't expose him, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not a big person, and I still need so many people from you to greet me?" ā
Although You Jingyan said in an indifferent tone, it was not difficult to hear the sarcasm in his words.
This shopkeeper can only touch his nose uncomfortably and be silent.
In his heart, he scolded those teammates all over again: "You want to examine others to see if they are mediocre officials who are greedy for fame and fortune, but let me come, isn't this adding me to the fire to roast?"
The meals on the wine table have been prepared, and there are big fish and meat, which is basically hearty.
You Jingyan had just sat down, and the rest of the wealthy businessmen had just belatedly appeared.
"A few of you came early enough!" You Jingyan sarcastically said.
Several wealthy businessmen originally had the idea of testing You Jingyan's temperament, but now that You Jingyan said this, they were able to argue well, and they really didn't know how to answer.
"Here, let's do it!" After You Jingyan said a word, the wealthy businessmen, including the shopkeeper surnamed Zhang, sat down in a daze.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, did you open a silk village? Have you ever thought about hiring a few people to do all the processes from raising silkworms to making cloth to finished clothes? ā
After all, there is no example of the idea of "this ......", and Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated, as if he was considering it.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, this can save a lot of costs, you can buy finished silk is definitely a lot more expensive than raising silkworms to make silkworms, right?"
"Yes, it's just the government." Zhang's consideration is not unreasonable.
At that time, merchants ranked last in all trades, and the government tried every means to suppress the survival of merchants and strive for their interests. Now You Jingyan suddenly gave them such a big discount, which made it really hard for them to believe.
"Over there in the government, I will handle it, shopkeeper Zhang, you just need to say whether you agree or not." You Jingyan gulped down the delicacies on the table, and didn't even listen to chopsticks when talking to these people.
In addition to You Jingyan, Li Bing and Wu Wen also kept chopsticks and ate like a wolf.
The three of them are eating each other, which is enough to prove what kind of life they are living these days.
These rich businessmen were so surprised by the appearance of the three that they didn't dare to move their chopsticks.
"Since there is no problem with the government, of course I am willing, everyone wants to make more money." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile, telling the truth.
"Okay, you can do it. However, you have to hire people from Liulin County, and the monthly payment to them is calculated on a monthly basis, and the relationship between you cannot be a master-servant relationship, just an employment relationship. ā
Although You Jingyan devoured a lot, he hadn't forgotten his business.
"Employment?"
This is the first time these people have heard it in this time and space, and it is inevitable that they will be surprised.
"Yes, the employment relationship. The workshop you set up can be called a factory, and the people you employ are called workers, and you, the shopkeeper, are the factory owners. ā
Seeing that You Jingyan was still at a loss, he waved his hand and said, "You will understand this question later." Just remember that the people you hire are not your servants, they are just the ones who work and get paid. Like those craftsmen. They earn money by their craft, and those people earn money by their labor. ā
You Jingyan's explanation is detailed enough, but Shopkeeper Zhang still doesn't know a little.
"Xiaomin's ability to understand is really limited, and he still doesn't understand it very well. What are you doing this for? ā
"To put it simply. How much would it cost you to turn those workers into your personal householders? If you just pay monthly. How much money do you spend? And if you earn money on a monthly basis, the enthusiasm of these people will be greatly improved, and how much income can they create for you? ā
You Jingyan explained impatiently, believing that he had spent so much effort to explain, and how much effort he would save after this concept was completely rooted in the hearts of the people.
