Nowadays, construction is being started everywhere in Henan Province, and it has become a large construction site.

More and more people were recruited, and so did the number of those who worked.

After all, after the start of the river repair, all industries prospered, and the merchants had great expectations for the canal, and they were recruiting people everywhere, trying to do a big job, so that most of the women and children in the countryside were old, weak, young and strong, and they were unwilling to stay.

It's just that Qingzhuang certainly has a better place to go, but the land at home must be taken care of, and the Kanto people have always been hard-working, if they let them stare at the family's one-third of an acre of land like this, it will be even more uncomfortable than killing them.

But when the young man's labor was gone, the women and children did not have so much energy to plough the land, so cattle and horses became the best choice.

Cattle and horses cultivated land has existed since ancient times, and it is not rare, but now, for the people of Henan Province, the real large-scale use of cattle and horses is now. In the past, the use of cattle and horses, more of a scholar and a strong grange, and ordinary people, only such a little land, there are young and strong at home, obviously not worth it, but now it is different, on the one hand, the price of cattle and horses is cheap, the man in the family can bring some money back outside, with money in his hand, although the price of cattle and horses is not a small number for small households, but gritting his teeth, he can also afford to buy, the cattle and horses in the countryside are easy to feed, usually can replace the young and strong cultivated land, old and sick, you can also sell meat for money, so that, Not only Hongnong County, but also the people of Henan County have also set off a boom in buying cattle and horses.

Li Lingyue in the counties of Henan County, deliberately opened up a special animal delivery market, every day there are dozens of hundreds of cattle and horses sent over, do not need to noon, can be sold out, so that the cattle and horses in the Shence Mansion also began to be in short supply, Li Lingyue went to the letter outside the Saiwai, instructing to send cattle and horses Yunyun.

For Li Lingyue. This is indeed a good deal, the family made tea and cloth, with this less valuable things in exchange for expensive cattle and horses, and these cattle and horses are then sold to the people of Henan Province, and the strong men of Henan Province are requisitioned by the Shence Mansion to build a bridge over the river, they make money, send it back to the village, and then buy livestock and farm tools at home, so on. It is equivalent to that the money was all circling in circles among the Turks, the Shence Mansion, the farmers, and the workshops, and finally flowed back to the Shence Mansion like a flood that burst the embankment.

Originally, Li Lingyue thought that spending so much money and food to recruit people to work was really a loss-making business, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that this was not the case at all, and the price given by the Shence Mansion to Zhuang Ding was not low. In addition, the craftsmen and apprentices recruited by Mengjin's workshop were not low, at least much more than ordinary farming, and these people were freed from the countryside and became fragrant in the eyes of the Shence Mansion and merchants. In the past, when they were just simple farmers, they were self-sufficient, men farming and women weaving, and eating their own food. No one is in the way, but once you work, you will inevitably have extra money. The way of life also began to change, see the outside world of men, then know the importance of reading, so usually thrifty, always for the children to study, and to study, there is no way to enter the Taiping School, Li Lingyue's tuition is not deceitful, but the profit is still considerable, the children read, it is inevitable to use pen and ink, to buy books, so, the workshop of pen, ink, paper and inkstone also came into being, and the workshop of engraving and printing gradually flourished.

The prosperity of the workshops meant an increase in the commercial taxes of the Shenze Mansion, not to mention that the men were outside, and the women and children needed animal power to cultivate.

This chain reaction is like a butterfly's wings flapping.

Li Lingyue has also read a lot of things recently, because of the development of commerce and trade, in addition to some books to pass the time, many theoretical books on the way of doing business have also begun to become popular.

Those who have read the book, if they really want to think about it, it is really a set, and all kinds of business theories are blooming, among which there is a theory, which Li Lingyue now recognizes the most. To develop commerce and trade, the first thing is to create a group of 'rich people', because only the rich people are willing to consume, but this kind of rich people, different from ordinary wealthy families, they have just broken away from the way of life of peasant households, began to live in the city for a long time, have a craft, or have a livelihood, although they can not make a fortune, but can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing.

And such people are often the main force of consumption, farmers are self-sufficient, even if they barely save some money, they are unwilling to consume, do not consume, who will sell the goods of so many workshops? But the rich family, although the spending power is amazing, but after all, they are the characters on the pyramid, unattainable, and it is impossible for everyone to be like this, and they consume more, but they earn more, and the excess money is saved, or the savings are invested in the workshop, which is not good for consumption.

Therefore...... If you want to make all industries prosperous, only enrich the people, and to enrich the people, you need to prosper all industries, this is the relationship between chickens and eggs and chickens, the so-called rich people, now those theorists have not been specifically elaborated, but there are roughly some prototypes, this first step, of course, is to free the strong man from the township, the use of a large number of animal power, to replace manpower, and manpower is precious, starting from the ordinary apprentices and labor, and gradually have the capital Yunyun to live and live.

Li Lingyue loves money, and like all people who love money, they all read books on this way of doing business, the more they read, the more thought-provoking it is, she drew inferences from one another, and when Qin Shaoyou was idle, the husband and wife were in the bed, and they had to elaborate on their new cognition: "I think this river repair is really a book of great benefits, and the river repair can connect the entire Henan Province with the states and counties of the world, so that the trade is greater." Where do I see...... The second great benefit is to free those people from the field, this person can make money, he will not be willing to farm, and when he returns to his hometown, it is enough to have cattle and horses to replace the land at home, but he is in the way and has become a superfluous person, so he would rather work, this is the first step of enriching the people, the ground can only maintain food and clothing, if you are unlucky, you may not even be able to maintain food and clothing, so which ...... Husband, have you read Mr. Chen Jing's "Theory of Industry and Commerce"? It's really wonderful...... Feed...... Don't pretend to be asleep......"

Qin Shaoyou innocently opened his eyes, looked at his chattering wife, and couldn't help but say: "I haven't heard of the theory of industry and commerce, but I've heard of some Keynesianism......"

Kai...... Ens...... What is this......"
