Chapter 281: A Terrible Misunderstanding (Part II)
It's really the little princess who brought the servants over, and she really dared to accept it, why didn't she accept it, she wanted to murder Yuping, and used the little princess to make trouble and ask, when it came to this, why didn't she accept it?
But Song Jiu was very wise, and the little princess couldn't succeed. Don't say that more than a dozen sheds are slowly pressing, these servants still have to pack their luggage, and even their wives are still working in other places, and they come to Hezhou by themselves, and their wives are suffering in Hebei?
With this time buffer, the city has already reacted.
In fact, Song Jiuzhen accepted it, and there were also people released on the other side of Hezhou, didn't you want people, I'll give it to you, some thorns, some wounded and sick, and drive them out of the city together, you go to Henan. Normal craftsmen and servants have changed their methods to force them to sign long contracts.
Hebei also has a lot of Yanei, at the beginning more than Hezhou, now less than Hezhou Ya, Hezhou has expanded its shares several times, absorbing many Yanai in, but they have very few shares, although there are few in the opposite Yanai, but the background of the Yanai is more considerable.
There is another feature, there are many children of military generals here, and there are many children of civil ministers there.
There is a difference, the starting point of Song Jiu here is lower, if it is not for the new regulations, all the original yamen have the right to speak, and the class is clear over there, and most of the yamen have no right to speak, if you want to speak, look at Zhao Chengzong's father, and then measure your father. Most of this is removed from the Yanai, and there are some Ya Nei play ticket nature, so I don't want to get too involved. There are also some Yanai feathers who cherish themselves, and when they see that something bad has happened in Hebei, they take the initiative to avoid it. But there are many people who can speak and get together with Zhao Chengzong, and there are sixty or seventy people. They want to tie up with Zhao Chengzong, and their father also wants to tie up with Zhao Pu. However, this has to remove twenty or thirty people, after all, it was Hebei who started first. and got the glaze technique, why force and frame other people's concubines and sons? Therefore, there was silence one after another. The rest of the sharpening knives are hoho. But the Song Dynasty was not like the Tang Dynasty, and every family had a trilogy. Some of the parts are the generals. Don't dare to openly mobilize forbidden troops like Wang Jixun, so compared to servants, this ratio is miserable, no matter how many servants there are, are there more people in the two rivers and thousands of households outside the city?
So the two sides were deadlocked.
But they were not in a hurry, they were sitting and waiting to watch the big show, to see how Zhao Pu threw Song Jiu into the Yellow River. Zhao Pu has this ability, and the rest is a matter of time.
Song Jiu analyzed the dynamics of these people, and then said to Guo Da: "You go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately." Report the matter to His Majesty, and ask the two kings to inform His Majesty. To make it clear, it was the little princess who was instigated by someone to accuse me again, but I just asked her to compare, and did not instigate Her Royal Highness the princess to burn the contract. ”
"Whoa."
Song Jiu continued to write down the inspiration with a pen and calculated it on paper.
After listening to this, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't tell whether Song Jiu really didn't take advantage of his little niece, or if he didn't use it. But I know the seriousness of the matter. If her little niece wants to take someone, she will definitely not release someone from Hebei, and if she doesn't get it right, something big will happen, and she will enter the palace in a hurry. Repeat the story.
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a long time and said, "Second brother, you pass on an edict for me." All royal relatives, as well as the children of the clan and relatives, will withdraw from the Lianghe deed shares. ”
Zhao Kuangyi opened his mouth wide in gaffe.
"The royal face is important. Don't think it's expensive, Sheji is what the royal family cares about the most. ”
"Whoa."
But he didn't know that Brother Lu Dao was about to be ruthless. The flesh hurts in my heart. Zhao Kuangyin said: "You withdrew from the Lianghe Deed Shares, then you have a fair position, and this matter will be left to you to deal with." ”
"Okay," Zhao Kuangyi withdrew from the palace in a daze, it was really painful, he came to Song Jiu's house first, and asked: "Song Jiu, if I withdraw from the Lianghe Deed Shares, how much money can I get?" ”
"Why did the two kings say this?"
"The emperor issued an edict that all the children of the clan outside the clan will withdraw from the Lianghe Deed Shares."
Song Jiu also raised his head blankly, he couldn't figure it out, and said later: "Second king, you have the most deed shares." ”
"And how many of you?"
"Mine can't be counted, after the preparation of the river island is stable, slowly hand it over to the imperial court, people should be content, there are too many wealth, I put it on the test, no one is red, if you put it at home, I don't know how big it will be after the road."
"Contentment, okay, I will definitely report to the imperial brother."
"This is not in a hurry, it is still early, at least six or seven years before the construction of Hezhou is completely stopped. However, if the two kings withdraw, the income is also considerable, because you have the most deed shares, expanding to more than 90,000 yuan, but more than 90,000 yuan. If you don't invest in a year, dividends in all aspects can be close to 40% of the total income. This is a stable income, what kind of business can achieve this profit? Moreover, the income will be higher in the future. ”
"My heart hurts," Zhao Kuangyi clutched his chest.
Apple covers her mouth.
"You, a small lady, are lavishly every day, where do you know the suffering of ordinary people, so many shares, it hurts to put it in the hands of that person."
"Don't hurt the two kings, I can send someone to secretly publicize this truth, and even exaggerate it, not to withdraw the shares as paid, but to auction it to some businessmen, and its price will rise to more than four to five times."
"Four to five times." Zhao Kuangyi's mind immediately cleared up.
"It can be done, there are a few relatives and clans in Hebei, and there are also here, yours, the three kings, the two concubines, the queen's, the Fu family, and the Gao family. Oh my God, you're all out, and Hezhou will run naked. ”
"You don't have to worry, this time the imperial brother made a ruthless move and quit, and these families will hate Zhao Xianggong. If this person is not removed, the country will be restless. ”
"Well, the two kings, one is urgent, the other is slow, the urgent processing will lose some, the most sluggish is the slow processing, I set a standard, the deed shares in a bundle of 1,000 yuan, divided into dozens of bundles of auction, if it can not reach more than four or five times, it will be auctioned. In this way, it will take at least a year to shoot all of them. I won't divulge how much it is to outsiders, and a few can send a steward to oversee it. ”
"Okay." Zhao Kuangyi walked a few steps, if he could get so much money, it would be enough for him to squander it for several years. However, there was still some flesh pain, and I quit, although I got a huge sum of money, but when I ran out, it was gone. Song Jiu said in a low voice: "Second King, don't worry, my money is in and out, even if I calculate Yuping's account book by myself, it will take at least a few days to calculate it, and others can't calculate it at all." In addition, there are eight ships at sea, and I am going to build four larger ships. The second king needs money, and I will send someone to send it secretly. ”
No way. Zhao Kuangyi doesn't care if he becomes an emperor in the future, he must still tie Zhao Kuangyi to the carriage. Otherwise, before Zhao Pu fell, Hezhou would be difficult to protect.
"Boy. How much money did you make? ”
Song Jiu ran to the back and took out an account book and said: "Second king, this is the general ledger, you see, Hezhou has a lot of points, but you have to pay taxes, and the rest is actually not much, and it can't be equal to my expenses at all." If it weren't for the profitability of a few ships over the years, I would have been in debt. ”
Zhao Kuangyi looked at the account book and understood. The money that Song Jiu earned in Hezhou was basically subsidized to the state, so it was no wonder that the people in the yamen did not quarrel or quarrel. Song Jiu said again: "The money is still useful in my hands, and I squandered it all for the Yanei, so I gradually released the deed shares to the people." ”
Zhao Kuangyi's forehead was recognized by Song Jiu, and when he saw his income, he was relieved. Riding a horse to Hebei.
There was a confrontation in front of the Hebei workshop, and Zhu Yanei also arrived with servants, and Wei Xianxin was persuading his little niece. Zhao Kuangyi said: "Xianxin, you step aside." ”
To Fan Zhen, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, the three old guys. Zhao Kuangyi thought that they were in cahoots with Zhao Puxin, and they were all disgusted, so they didn't speak with good anger.
All were afraid of him. Zhao Pu smashed Zhao Kuangyi's head with a big stick, it was Zhao Pu. Do others dare. Wei Xianxin obediently stepped aside, and Zhao Chengzong walked over. He said in a low voice: "Second king, although the workshop steward is not doing well, you can't let Her Royal Highness the princess take the servants and craftsmen away together, and the workshop will collapse." ”
"Chengzong, what does the collapse of the workshop have to do with me? What does it have to do with the state? In addition to adding chaos to Kaifeng Mansion, the workshops in Hebei have paid a penny in taxes? ”
"Two Kings ......"
"Don't think that I have deed shares in Hezhou, Your Majesty issued an edict, from today onwards, all royal relatives and relatives will withdraw from all deed shares in Lianghe."
The yamen were stunned together.
"In the past, I had deed shares in it, and it was inconvenient to dispose of them, but today I withdraw from the deed shares, and I can dispose of them."
"The two kings, they all have a contract with them, whether Her Royal Highness the princess burns them or not."
"Is the law of the country bigger, or is the contract bigger? Chengzong, your father is the prime minister of the country, don't you take his reputation into account at all? ”
"I'll replace the supervisor right away."
Zhao Kuangyi ignored him anymore, came to the little princess and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"Uncle, come and see," Princess Yongqing brought the beaten servant to Zhao Kuangyi, and said, "Uncle, you ask them about their salaries again, and look at what they eat, drink, and live. ”
The servants behind her fell to their knees and wept.
"That person is his supervisor."
The director came over with a change of face: "The second king, the small one." ”
"Why did you beat him?"
"He burned the cup."
At this time, many people watched, and Zhao Kuangyi said to the official behind him: "Go to Hezhou and call the steward and supervisor of the workshop over there." ”
The official went to Henan.
Zhao Kuangyi said: "Chengzong, you take me to see where they live." ”
Zhao Chengzong's face was very ugly, but he had to come.
Looking at the shed, and then at what these servants were eating and wearing, and smelling the unpleasant smell in the shed, Zhao Kuangyi came out and said angrily: "Is this a place for people to stay?" Qi Min, what a Qi Min! This is a tragic scene under the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”
"Second king, I wanted to build a house last year, but Zhu Yanei disagreed, plus the profit is also small, and I am preparing to discuss when to build it."
What he said is also the truth, last year there was this proposal, will not build a house like Hezhou, the situation in Hebei is complicated, and it can't be planned, but I am ready to build some houses that can be seen, even if it is still a grass shed, at least people can stay. But in recent years, it doesn't matter if you buy expensive land, house construction, and workers live in almost nothing, but the restaurant and inn can't be bad, plus the successive investments, and the money is not much. Although Liuli brought a lot of profits at the end of last year, Zhu Yanei was reluctant and did not agree with him to build a house. Zhao Chengzong's investment in Hebei is actually to buy people's hearts and increase the strength of his father and son, some of the yamen disagree, his father's power reached its peak last year, Zhao Chengzong didn't care much, and he didn't really take the servants to heart, and the matter went cold. I'm going to discuss it again this year, but it's hard to say whether it will be discussed this year, whether it's discussed or not, who believes it now?
Zhao Kuangyi took the Yanei to other industries in Hebei.
Except for some small industries, which are opened by their own families, none of the others are good, and under the leadership of Zhao Chengzong, the life of the servants in Hebei is miserable. It is also normal, this is the inevitable product of pseudo-capitalism.
If you look at some of the pits below. Or look at the barbarian slaves in the Kuixia area, or the side households on the side of Bashu. Their lives are even worse.
But now there is a paradisiacal contrast of the river continent, Hebei has put aside the glamorous restaurants, inns, brothels and so on. It's hell behind it.
The official brought the head of the Hezhou glazed workshop with him. Zhao Kuangyi asked: "If the glass cup is burned, what will you do?" ”
"Processing?" The steward scratched his head strangely, suddenly came to his senses, and said: "The second king, it's like this, it depends on the raw hands and the skilled hands, the clumsy hands and the skillful hands. Generally, new hands come in, and they are carried by skilled hands, so that they can hone their skills. There will definitely be mistakes. This is reflected in salary, for example, novices only enter the workshop, only three yuan of salary in a month, plus festivals and overtime incentives, less than four dollars. However, after surviving this time, the hands are familiar, willing to work hard, less damage, and the yield is high. The reward is thick, if you don't care, the damage rate is high, and the finished product rate is low. There are fewer rewards. When the price of rice rose, the jade lady was charitable and subsidized 800 yuan of rice in January. ”
"Have you ever hit someone?"
"Hitting? That person doesn't make mistakes. Even skilled craftsmen will miss sometimes. Besides, whoever wants to break it, there is another bonus of excitement. And no one broke it. You can't fight, and the more you beat the servants, the less you care. The more scared you are, the worse you burn. And they're human too. ”
Hearing his words, the servants in the Hebei workshop cried loudly again.
"Let me ask you again, where do you pay as a servant?"
"Master Craftsman ......"
"Don't mention the master, I only ask the ordinary servants."
"The little one just said that if you are a raw hand and only enter it for less than four yuan, if you are familiar with it but your hands are still clumsy, it is less than five yuan, and if you are skilled and skillful, you can exceed six yuan and seven yuan. The other is the house. This account is a bit confusing, and if you add the house, it will be a little more. In addition, sometimes irregular overtime, some more and some less, more can have more money, less than a few hundred dollars. That's about it. ”
The servants behind him wept even more sadly.
Zhao Kuangyi pointed to a servant and asked: "Don't cry, answer this official, how long have you been in the workshop, and what is your monthly salary?" How many holidays are there and how many hours a day are worked? ”
"Two kings, the small came to the workshop for more than half a year, working five hours a day, no holidays, if there is something will deduct double the salary, the monthly salary has three stone rice, half a piece of cloth, two hundred yuan, last year's rice price was high, rice is gone, changed to money, a thousand dollars, half a piece of cloth. But the price of rice is so expensive, my family has to eat corn and live half hungry. ”
"Chengzong, how can you bear it in your heart."
"Second king, I don't know much, in this way, I will immediately give them a salary increase."
"Don't use it, I will withdraw from the two rivers deed shares, the affairs here are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and I must take care of it. Jia Yan, pass on the government order for me, from today onwards, the price of goods in the capital is expensive, it is not easy to live, for the stability of the capital, the monthly salary of all workshops and shops cannot be less than three yuan. Anything below this number is void. In the future, all the senior households who signed a monthly salary of less than three yuan for the businessmen and the workshop owner were lightly matched, and the heavy ones abandoned the market. There is food, clothing and housing, and all those who employ one person, whether it is temporary residence or gift, the house price shall not be less than ten yuan. If there is a fault, it will be sent to Kaifeng Junyi County for interrogation, and no supervisor or guest or household shall beat the servant without permission, and the offender will be punished with a cane. Since then, all workshops and shops have been taxed, and those who do not pay the tax have been punished by the inspection and punishment of some workshops. Ten days are given to remedy the situation, after which the order takes effect. ”
"Whoa."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at a group of servants again, and said: "You all get up, although the contract is burned, but those who have made a contract have someone to testify, and you must not leave the workshop without permission." However, this official will send officials to patrol Hebei in the future. If you have grievances, you can appeal to the official or come to Kaifeng Mansion, and the official will make the decision for you. ”
The actual contract was burned, these people were free, and Zhao Kuangyi was still "afraid" of Zhao Pu, and gave the most reluctant some bottom lines. Then he looked at Zhao Chengzong and said, "Chengzong, do it yourself." ”
Leaving a few officials on patrol, he took Princess Yongqing's hand and said, "Let's go back." ”
"It's not solved yet."
"How many people do you want them to be like Hezhou?"
"Why can't you do it?"
"Let's go to the palace together and ask your father and the emperor will know that there are so many officials in Guangnan, how many of them can do the same level as Song Jiu, don't these officials need it. There are so many poor people in the world, can they be fed together in Hezhou? But you did a good job today, and you saved face for the royal family. ”
They are gone, Zhao Chengzong doesn't know what to do, and really implement Zhao Kuangyi's new government order? After thinking about it, he said to the steward: "Just sign according to what the second king said, two horses of silk per month, six hundred yuan." ”
"How much does that cost?"
Zhao Chengzong whispered angrily: "Don't you understand the advantages and disadvantages of silk!" Can't I extend my working hours? ”
But in any case, this time it was decided to be bloodletting. Zhao Chengzong returned home depressed, told the story, and said: "Father, there are two kings missing from Hezhou, three kings, the Gao family, the Fu family, and the Shi family......
"Bastard thing," Zhao Pu shouted.
Zhao Kuangyi didn't expect his eldest brother to be attentive, he even misunderstood, thinking that all this was a ghost made by Zhao Kuangyi, hurting others and himself, and smearing himself with a desperate method. But it should not be underestimated, although the two kings, the three horses, as well as the He family, the Du family, the Fu family, and Wang Jixun, he may not be in his eyes, but if these people hate themselves because of this, and gather together under Zhao Kuangyi's account, it will not be easy to do. As for Hezhou and Song Jiu, Zhao Pu didn't care too much, if he was ruthless, when it came time to kill Song Jiu, it was not too easy to kill Song Jiu. But not now, others will pay attention, and at the same time, it also takes time, and it is not the main thing, the main thing is Zhao Kuangyi.
Got hands on it over there...... (To be continued......)
