Chapter 4 Entrepreneurship vs 29 It's too early to fight
"The company seems to have been invented by the British, and it is one of the greatest things in the history of mankind. It was only after the advent of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info that humans began to cooperate effectively. The word company may have been invented by the Japanese. The Japanese have a really strong understanding of the Chinese language, and they contribute almost seventy or eighty percent of the vocabulary of modern Chinese. Liu Yao was writing and drawing on paper with charcoal strips while talking to Xiaoman. Liu Yao saw that Xiaoman didn't answer, so he stopped nagging her, raised the written paper and looked up, while muttering to himself: "A paper company that lives up to expectations." "The paper used today is already the finished product of mass production in paper mills. Since there were no materials such as acids and alkalis, the process of the 17th century could only be used, so the papermaking workshop quickly finalized the process and produced it on a large scale in the industrial area. Although the paper is still uneven, yellowish, and fragile, at least it is possible to do so without having to make drafts on the dirt. Paper that is now consumed in large quantities in schools and in business is supplied by paper companies.
The Zhao Construction Company, which also lived up to expectations, began construction of the town on the free slope, dividing the land into regular rectangles with a two-lane wide main road and a slightly smaller side road. All the roads are paved with stones, and there are as many curbs as the sidewalks. Except that the pavement is paved with gravel instead of concrete, it is almost indistinguishable from modern roads. However, only half of the main road is currently paved, and the other half is excavated as a wide drainage ditch, which will be covered to make a wide road in the future as the traffic volume increases.
It's just that the progress of the construction project is not as fast as it needs to be, with the end of the farming, soon people come to Meijia Village one after another, there are bachelors, there are also draggers, everyone with a lot of belongings, almost half of the people still carry chickens, some even with piglets. Among them, about 60% of adult men, 40% of the elderly, women and children; Half of them were families, half of them were single men, and they were all the same people who had been sitting at the gates of the city waiting to take their jobs. All of them were emaciated and ragged, and many smelled of sweat.
Liu Hengqi took his family to settle these displaced people. Yao Ying was in charge of hygiene and wellness, and Liu Man and Wang Daixi were in charge of registration. Mei Jiaju's first class also had the responsibility to help. Everyone first set up a cauldron, boiled a pot of porridge for everyone to fill their stomachs, and then led these people to the river to bathe and change into clean clothes. After working for half a morning, these people finally had a look on their faces, and their bodies were free of smell, and they sat on the ground by the river.
"Guys, you've probably heard of me. Everyone is here today because they believe that there is food to eat and a chance to live. You can imagine that no matter how much food I have here, I can't stop so many of you from coming to eat, and more people will come. But fortunately, the whole village of Meijia Village will come up with food to support everyone, so that we can work hard and grow food, and when the autumn harvest comes, there will be food for the family to eat! In the future, if you follow me, I will definitely make you no longer hungry! But there is one thing, we should think in the same place, and we should care for each other like brothers and sisters. Can you do it? ”
"As long as there is food, we will do whatever you say!" A swarthy, thin, but energetic middle-aged man stood up and shouted.
"Good! Everyone work with me, and I will definitely not treat everyone badly. What is your name, brother? ”
"Back to the adult, the little name is Keshan. The little ones are willing to do the long-term work of adults all their lives. Hearing the word long-term worker, Liu Hengqi couldn't help but panic, he exchanged a "I didn't do it" look with Yao Ying and Xiaoman, and hurriedly said: "There are no adults or children here, if you are willing, just call me Mr. Liu." ”
Seeing that everyone looked dazed, Liu Yao felt that he had to explain the relationship clearly to everyone, raised his hand and waved it to let everyone get closer, and then said slowly: "You came here, not because of my long-term work, but because you moved here." For the time being, I will be responsible for your food and lodging, but in the end, it will be up to you to solve it by your own labor. I tell you that as long as you have the physical strength to work, the big workers can receive 5 catties of grain every day, and the small workers can receive 3 catties of grain. The grains are rice, sweet potatoes and corn, half of the rice and the other half. If one person works, the family can survive. With a few people working, the family can eat something good. Moreover, both men and women can come to work and receive food. ”
When everyone heard this, they were not very happy, and they all expressed their willingness to become long-term workers. Liu Yao didn't argue with them, and first asked Mei Jiaju to lead his first class to register everyone, in addition to the name, age, and place of origin, the main thing was to record the height and strength, as well as what skills he would have.
The registered long-term workers, according to their own specialties, some were led by the Zhao family father and son to do the work of the construction team, some were handed over to a workshop, and the rest, including women and old people who could work, were handed over to Sun Zhenggang to do the work in the field. After some hectic work, everyone found that everyone had a job, either they had a job to do, or their family had a job, and everyone's rations were guaranteed.
Because the house was not built so quickly, and there was no water on Freedom Mountain, Liu Yao had to hurry up and let the Zhao family and his son set up a shack in the industrial area to settle everyone down. As soon as the burden was put down, a few stones were erected and the cooking began. Smoke rises, chickens and pigs run, and a village is formed in the space of a day.
The industrial area is now very lively, with children and livestock running around, cooking smoke filling, people talking loudly, and a line of women washing clothes by the river. Liu Hengqi walked around this temporary village with a smile on his face, greeting people. In fact, he looked at the chaotic scene and felt a sense of frustration in his heart: he felt that his planning skills were still insufficient, and since it would be a long time before the water in Liberty Mountain could be connected, this temporary village might have to exist for a long time.
Frustrated, Liu Yao found Zhao Shilu, who was directing the finishing work of the shack, and asked him to quickly send someone to do the damming. Zhao Shilu gritted his teeth and knocked the last wooden wedge into the soil, looked up and said, "Sir, I'm wondering if I should go to build an embankment and make a field first." So many people have to eat, and the early planting of the fields is at ease, and if you miss the agricultural time, it will be troublesome. ”
"Your considerations have a point. But I've thought about it. First, I need hydraulic power, and I must have a hydraulic forging press to make weapons. I'm afraid there will be a dispute in the near future, and I need to hurry up and build a weapon. Liu Yao didn't care whether Zhao Shilu could understand it or not, and continued to talk to himself. The second is quality of life. We will only be supported if people see what kind of life we are living here. You can't see this power, but the effect will be huge. In the end, even if we miss the agricultural time, we have two seasons a year here, at most one season is missed, and the impact is not great. ”
Zhao Shilu heard it in a fog, but he felt that Liu Yao had already figured it out, and the concept he finally captured had little impact, so he went to arrange his work with peace of mind.
Liu Yao looked at Zhao Shilu who was walking away in the crowd, and his heart was bottomless for a while, and he suddenly wanted to find a god to worship.
When he was thinking about it, he saw Mei Jiaju running over in a hurry, and the person was still in the distance, and he had already shouted: "Report!" People from the county said that they wanted to count the number of acres and measure the acres of land, and they wanted to apportionment labor and collect taxes! ”
Liu Yao settled down and said to Mei Jiaju: "Don't babble, you won't speak in front of me until later." If you shout like this with classified military intelligence? ”
Mei Jiaju looked around and found that the villagers in the temporary village had stopped what they were doing, looked at him with a look of surprise on his face, and immediately blushed.
Liu Yao asked, "How many people are there?" Where is it? ”
"One clerk and four officials are all in my house."
"Okay, let's go meet the people together." Liu Yao walked towards Mei's house as calmly as he could, and instructed Mei Jiaju: "You take your troops, as well as Xiaoman, don't go over yet, wait for everyone in the village to gather before you go, hide behind and watch." ”
Mei Jiaju raised his head with a surprised face, and when he saw Mr. with an unquestionable expression, he responded and hurried away.
Before entering the gate of Mei's house, I heard someone shouting. In the center of the courtyard sat a thin man who looked like a clerk, but his face was a little familiar, saying that he had been ordered by the order of Wang County to check the new acres of land and the Dingkou who had escaped from forced labor. Mei Xianzhuo stood aside and bent down to talk, always being loudly interrupted before he finished speaking.
The executive pulled Liu Yao's sleeve, frowned and explained softly, it is normal to count Dingkou and measure the acres of land to collect taxes, but these Dingkou were originally registered, and now that they have moved here, they will inevitably be apportioned repeatedly. Although it is appropriate to take on a place of labor, if the country of origin comes to ask for labor, the matter is often not clear, and the person will be arrested. And the matter of measuring acres of land is even more flexible, either the land number will be set more, or the tax amount will be set high, anyway, it will be done. This county magistrate Wang can't eat in this county, and he doesn't dare to bully the natives, and he probably won't let go of Liu Yao, an outsider, obviously looking for fault. The people who came also understood the meaning of the county order, and their attitude was very tough, and they did not enter the oil and salt.
Liu Yao approached the clerk, bowed down and said, "I've seen the official errand." Under Liu Yao. The official came from afar, and it was hard all the way, but how could he not enter the hall and sit in the open air to explain? I'm not going to be able to wait. As he spoke, he quickly recalled in his heart how this person was so familiar.
In the original world, Liu Yao was a face blind patient. The two worlds are upside down, and I am not sure about my facial recognition.
The clerk squinted at Liu Yao, went up and down again, and said: "I'm here to complete the things that the county magistrate has explained, not to visit, just tell you what you should do in the courtyard, just sit on your chair, you don't have to entertain." ”
"You're Lord Zhou!" Liu Yao suddenly remembered. He was also present when the officials gave away the land. "Lord Zhou works so hard, I admire it, but I don't know ....." Before Liu Yao finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Zhou Wenwen sneered: "Mr. Liu is such a big name, now the whole county knows that you have turned stones into gold, recruited displaced people, and have to do a great career." ”
The adult laughed. I'm just working with you to open up some wasteland and grow some food to feed my family. This imperial grain tax and labor are a matter of course, and we must pay them according to the rules. Your official sent this time to come to the nuclear earth, the nuclear people, is exactly what we want in our hearts, and we can't ask for it. ”
Zhou Wenwen laughed loudly and said loudly: "Okay! Since Mr. Liu understands the general situation, then I will tell you how to handle this official mission. People here, all those whose household registration is not here, are brought to the county government to find out whether there is any evasion. I have already inspected the wasteland you opened, and there are more than 230 acres of land, and this official has been extrajudicial to you, counting you as 200 acres. Pay the food tax on the same day. Then he stood up and left.
Liu Yao saw that the communication was not good, and stretched out his hand to stop the clerk and said, "Clerkship Zhou is slow." In the next offense, please take a step slowly, there is a word to ask for advice. If there is an objection to the disposal method just mentioned by the adult, how should it be handled? I hope to give you some advice. ”
The clerk sneered and said, "Dissent? You go to the county and disagree with the county order! With that, he stretched out his hand and waved his hand, blocking Liu Yao's arm, and was about to walk away. Liu Yao was angry in his heart, grabbed the paperwork, stared at each other's eyes face to face and said, "The surname is Zhou, you don't show affection, don't blame me for being polite!" Let me tell you, the matter of Meijia Village, one is to send labor after settlement. First settled, then sent to labor. First, you can only measure the number of acres, but I have to agree with the number. In the original time and space, Liu Yao has always honestly said that he is 1.69 meters, and he knows that his physique is not strong, but in this time and space, his figure is even tall and strong, and he has grabbed the paperwork, full of majesty.
When several officials saw that Liu Yao, who was amiable, he suddenly burst out, and then saw that the other party was much more than his own, and he didn't dare to make a move. Zhou Wenwen saw that the officials did not move, and Liu Yao suddenly became more horizontal than himself, and he was speechless and speechless.
Liu Yao dropped the paperwork and said, "You can go, go and bring the words to Wang County." ”
The official and his party walked a long way, and the courtyard of the Mei family was still quiet. Liu Yao looked at the thin back of the distant figure and frowned and asked slowly, "How many soldiers are there in the county?" ”
"That's too early, isn't it?" Mei Xianzhuo's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Prevent it from getting into trouble. See what the worst can become. ”
Mei Xianzhuo's face had a smile: "You must know that I have a way here." I just invited the congratulatory officials to my house for a banquet today, and I should be there right away. Let's see how he instructs. ”
Sun Zhuang interjected on the side: "It's not the bargaining set?" According to me, just call back! ”
Sun Zhenggang slapped it and scolded: "Fight back!" You're a knife. How many of us can we fight? While he was making a noise, he saw that the sedan chair of the congratulatory officer had entered the entrance of the village. The crowd hurried to greet them.
In the chaos, Liu Man found an opportunity to say to his father at this time: "You dare to scold people in uniform?" It's a big deal. ”
Liu Yao comforted her daughter and said, "It's okay, we are a powerful village, and it's normal to have a little dispute." Mr. May has a way. He turned back to Mei Jiaju and said, "Jiaju, you remember two points: first, if you are not sure, you must try to avoid fighting, and you can't fight again." Second, it's too early to fight. We don't fight until I put armor on you. You tell everybody that. With that, he walked over to the sedan chair of the congratulatory officer.
"This old immortal is eyeing here. Supposedly, I'll have to bring someone to deal with you guys. After listening to the introduction, the congratulatory official pondered for a long time, stomped his foot and said, "You have to beat me back." ”
"It's too early to fight, right?" Mei and Liu said in unison.
He looked at the two people who were in the same step strangely, and said: "You think, you don't pull the flag to rebel, and you don't resist taxes and don't pay, but you just refuse to accept the number of labor and taxes, even if you don't agree with each other, this fight is not a big deal." As for this rule, you must first hand over a discussion paperwork, which is not allowed by the county order, and then send me to forcibly collect taxes and pull people. I have more than 30 servants in my hand, and the knives are not matched, and I will definitely not be able to please them when I fight, so I have to do it. ”
"What if you want to be a little injured and die?" Liu Yao asked nervously.
"Where will it be!" This time, Chang Mei and He were in the same step, glaring at Liu Yao together.
Jiaju tugged at Liu Yao's sleeve and said softly: "Sir, it was like this in previous years, just for example, it is safer than our training." ”
Liu Yao nodded, and said softly to Xiaomei: "If that's the case, you go and tell everyone again, I'm going to have a competition to see which class performs the best when fighting with the officials, and the winner can get a hundred catties of rice." ”
Before dinner, the tacit Mei and Liu took the congratulatory officials to see the unfinished Liu house, and by the way, they showed off the intimate relationship between the leaders of Meijia Village and the county leaders in front of the villagers of the temporary village. As expected, the novel bathroom caused He Dian's surprise for a while, and he happily accepted Liu Yao's suggestion to decorate He's family.
At dinner, Liu Yao cooked a few modern dishes and opened a jar of good wine produced in the sauce garden, and the officials were very happy to eat. This is the second time that He Dianguan has drunk with Liu Yao. Last time, I didn't drink much because I had something on my mind. This time everything went well, and in a blink of an eye, a jar of wine went down.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Liu Yao whispered to He Dian: "Actually, you can also tell Wang Xianling that I can also help him build a bathroom for this kind of bathroom." He didn't come back to his senses for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Originally, you could have asked that Zhou clerk to come and see this bathroom." Mei Xianzhuo whispered on the side: "This person is not on the road, there is no way." The crowd laughed and opened another jar of wine.
