Chapter 331: Fighting for Profit
Lin Jiu did not exchange the method of salt, iron and refined salt for money, but took advantage of this to buy the Yantian mine at a low price and began to carry out her slave reform plan.
"Ideal!" In the backyard of the mansion that had been built, looking at the report submitted by Lu Yi, Lin Jiu had a headache.
There is a shortage of people, there is an extreme shortage of people, and if there is no one to apply, then her mine salt pans will become decorations.
Finally, there was a mine at home, but it could only be seen and not used, which made Lin Jiu depressed. It's like the money I saved up when I was a child to buy a bunch of useless things.
Lu Yi looked at Lin Jiu, who kept shaking his head, and sighed: "Boss, you should know what's going on." ”
Lin Jiu put down the report in his hand and said helplessly: "It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to deal with it." ”
After the government was built, Chu Linghui began to govern the county.
There is enough force, Chu Linghui acts hard and soft, and there is quite a new atmosphere from the county, and in addition to resolving some disputes, the people also know that when they go to the yamen, the prestige of the imperial court seems to have been re-established.
Lin Jiu also adhered to the policy of taking the lower-class route, solved problems for the people in his own way, and established a voluntary school porridge shed......
But after all, these are only the symptoms and not the root cause, although the government has prestige, but the essence of leaving the county has not changed.
Most of the people who left the county were slaves of the gentry, and there were almost no truly free people.
And as the boss who left the county, as long as Zheng Kui gave an order, who would dare to send someone to Lin Jiu!
Lin Jiu tapped her fingers on the table, in fact, she had already conceived a plan in her mind, but she didn't want to use this method until the last moment.
Lin Jiu looked at Lu Yi, who had been frowning below, this is a moral gentleman, and everything wants to be solved in a normal way.
"Knock knock" There were three knocks outside the door.
"If it's Lord Xiao Chu, it's good to come in directly!" Lin Jiu said in a teasing tone.
Chu Linghui pushed open the door and saw Lu Yi's appearance and the report in front of Lin Jiu, so he knew the reason.
"You haven't hired anyone yet?"
Lin Jiu glanced at Chu Linghui, she always felt that this was a knowingly question, Chu Linghui made a prophecy after she got those salt field mines, and those things existed as decorations for a long time.
Now this state of affairs is the fulfillment of his word.
Lin Jiu could even imagine at this time that Chu Linghui must be smiling happily at this time.
In fact, if I hadn't been stubborn and had exchanged the secret recipe for the real thing, I might have been lying on a bed covered with silver (if I didn't panic).
Chu Linghui took advantage of the situation to find a place to sit down and leisurely sip tea.
Seeing this situation, Lin Jiu couldn't help but scold, we are in a dilemma, even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be in harmony with this atmosphere.
Obviously, Chu Linghui was not able to hear Lin Jiu's heart, and drank a bowl of tea by himself.
"Today, the Yamen took over a complaint." Chu Linghui put down the teacup and said slowly.
Lin Jiu pouted and said, "It's not the two days when the yamen was newly built, and it's not a big deal if you receive the complaint." ”
"That's a big difference." Chu Linghui pretended to be profound and wanted to hang Lin Jiu's appetite, but when he saw Lin Jiu's eyes on fire, he had to cough dryly twice, temporarily restraining his humor.
"In the past, I received most disputes between the people and the people, between businessmen and businessmen, and between the gentry and the gentry, but this time it was different, it was Orion Zhao He who came to sue Zheng Kui."
Zhao He is the name of sweet potato, because the Zhao family has no elders, as proof of adulthood, Lin Jiu named him "He", which is to hope that sweet potato will live in peace in this life.
But I didn't expect that it didn't take long to get into a lawsuit, and sure enough, the name can only be a beautiful yearning.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "You mean, Zhao He has now come to sue Zheng Kui as a hunter, and he can set up a model?" ”
This method of establishing authority is not bad, if Chu Linghui does this properly, then the image of the court's justice will really be established in the hearts of the people, not like it is just a clan ancestral hall now.
"Do you know that the reason why you can't recruit workers is because Zheng Kui is behind it?" Chu Linghui asked.
"I don't need you to remind you of this." Lin Jiu said angrily.
Chu Linghui was already used to Lin Jiu's attitude, and subconsciously went to get the teacup, and found that the teacup was empty, and Lu Yi poured tea for Chu Linghui in a timely manner.
"It's hard work!" Chu Linghui bowed to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi smiled and sat back in his place. Lin Jiu and Chu Linghui have a habit of not being disturbed by outsiders, and they came here this time, so it is naturally impossible to bring the servants of the family.
Of course, even in the time of Yunzhou, they didn't seem to use servants.
"If you have something to say, it's annoying!" Lin Jiu said.
At this time, Lin Jiu couldn't see Chu Linghui's complacent appearance, she had been bored in the past few days, because of the interests of salt and iron, those businessmen seemed to have been satisfied, and they seemed to have lost interest in her future ideas.
What short-sighted people! Lin Jiu scolded in his heart.
Chu Linghui said: "Zheng Kui has always thought that he is his land, so he is very unscrupulous, and he should have done a lot of things that violated the law. ”
Lin Jiu knew what Chu Linghui was thinking as soon as he pondered it, although the imperial court did not like to be involved in Jingnan over the years, but in the final analysis, Jingnan still belonged to the imperial court, and since it belonged to the imperial court, it should obey the laws of Zhaoguo.
And Zheng Kui has done a lot of things to bully men and women over the years, if they are all listed, Zheng Kui is estimated to die dozens of times, Lin Jiu used the evidence of Zheng Kui's collusion with thieves to make him sell food.
Although this method is effective, at this time and at that time, the local gentry have gradually deviated to their side because of their interests, and the reason why they did not choose to fall to them is because of Zheng Kui's strength.
Moreover, they are afraid that after Chu Linghui gains a firm foothold, the law will give them a post-autumn settlement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that if Chu Linghui really does that, most of the local gentry in the county will be eliminated.
For those people, as long as Chu Linghui showed the intention of wanting to investigate the past, it would cause a great reaction.
At this time, Lin Jiu couldn't care about being angry with Chu Lingjue, and said all his thoughts and worries.
Chu Linghui looked at Lin Jiu for a long time, and saw that Lin Jiu was uncomfortable.
"Actually, for a long time I thought you were thinking about how to make money and nothing else." Chu Linghui smiled.
Soon Chu Linghui retracted his smile, "I've thought about these things a lot, and recently I have decided to issue an order that everything we did before our arrival will not be held accountable, and as long as we abide by the law in the future, we will all treat everyone equally." ”
Lin Jiu was silent for a long time, if she hadn't been in contact with the people at the bottom, she naturally had no opinion on Chu Linghui's thoughts, but these days, she has paid great attention to the development of the people's hearts, which has made her know a lot of things.
This made her extremely hateful for the actions of the local gentry, and Chu Linghui brought the crimes of those people in a few words, which always made Jude feel a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Chu Lingjue's decision is undoubtedly the most correct choice, now the food and clothing of the people leaving the county are all tied to these gentry, and nothing can go wrong, but ......
"Not only me, but you can't take revenge on them for what they've done in the past." Chu Linghui's words cut off Lin Jiu's retreat, "You and I are one, at least until we are divided, you can't retaliate." ”
"Split?" How did Lin Jiu feel that it was wrong when she heard this word, this was threatening her?
No, it shouldn't be a threat.
Lin Jiu came back to her senses after a brief surge of anger, she pondered Fang Cai's words carefully, and had a realization in her heart.
Chu Linghui is right, although they can be inseparable from each other now, but in the future process, they must find a suitable opportunity to cut.
The official and merchant family is too talkative, not to mention Lin Jiu, who has received so much attention and rejected the emperor to become an imperial businessman.
Lin Jiu sighed in her heart, she thought that it was complicated enough to complete those tasks in the past, but she didn't expect to be involved in politics. After governing the field, it was even more difficult for her to sort out the things she encountered.
