It's really people who are more popular than people.

It was when Wan Ce looked indignant that Li Er spoke again.

"Those wealthy families didn't come to trouble you?"

As soon as they heard this, the three of them instantly froze.

After all, they are from a wealthy family in Li Er's mouth.

Although it is only a partial house, it is not taken seriously on weekdays.

But anyway, it came from there.

Li Shimin had a full view of the reactions of the three people.

"Why didn't you come looking for trouble!" Qianqian spat out bitter water.

"Most of the people of Nahuo Jiaao were originally tenants."

"Since the promulgation of the new system, the Hou family has withdrawn, and the people are panicked and have no support."

"That day, Gongzi went to Huojiaao, and the old patriarch begged Gongzi to write a letter to change the system back!"

Hearing this, Li Er was slightly stunned.

The people got the land, and that was obviously a good thing.

But why go back to the old system?

Could it be that they think they have too much land in their name?

Soon, Qianqian answered his doubts.

"The land in Nahuo Jiaao is suitable for growing cotton. In previous years, the Hou family took it and sold it to the major cloth shops."

"Now that the land has been returned to the people, they are worried about the sale of cotton."

Seeing this, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's what happened! As long as this cotton is grown, will it still be unmarketable?"

"It's a big deal to lower the price by one point, and the merchants are profit-seeking, so naturally a large number of merchants will come to buy."

"And even if the price is lowered, the people will no longer need to pay the tenant rent, and they should earn more than before!"

But Qin Fan shook his head and denied, "Brother Li, you take it for granted."

Hearing this, Li Shimin also asked for advice: "Is there something wrong in the middle?"

Qin Fan nodded, took Qianqian's words and continued:

"As Brother Li said, the people should have been richer. But the reality is that the people are almost unable to eat!"

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't sit still.

Isn't his restructuring just so that the people can have a full bite to eat?

But now, how can the people not afford to eat?

"Why is that?"

"Quite simply, the family doesn't allow them to live a good life!"

Li Shimin knew at the moment, he had neglected the family before.

That's right, how could the Maison allow the restructuring to go smoothly?

Sure enough, Qin Fan continued: "The cotton grown in Huojiaao will never be harvested by traders, even if the price is lowered, it is useless."

"Because the family has already spoken. If there are still merchants who do not measure themselves at this time, it is undoubtedly against the family."

"If you offend Your Majesty, there is still a way to live, and it is not a big deal to offend the ministers of the DPRK and China!"

"But if you offend the five surnames and seven hopes, and offend the entire wealthy family of the Tang Dynasty, then the people will lose their livelihood!"

At this time, Wan Ce on the side spoke: "Since the cotton is not harvested, why not spin it into cloth. In this way, you can avoid the blockade of the Maison, right?"

Li Er shook his head: "If it's that simple, Brother Qin won't have to worry about it."

"I'm not bothered to the point of having a headache, but it's true that the Maison's lockdown isn't just for cotton."

Qin Fan paused and continued to speak:

"Whether it is cotton or even the cloth woven from cotton, or cottonseed or the oil squeezed from cottonseed, it should be among the blockades of the wealthy people."

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately slapped the table: "How can this be reasonable, they are simply too deceitful."

Zheng Yuan on the side spoke: "If you are angry, you will be angry, what is it to slap the table?"

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he turned his head to look, only to see Zheng Yuan's eyes tightly closed, looking crazy!

"The old man can't be angry, what are you doing this kid?"

Cui Yao on the side brought it

A bowl of water, handed it to Zheng Yuan, explained:

"Boss Sun, when you slapped the table before, Zheng Yuan was sprinkling chili powder on the skewers, and you slapped the table, which startled him, and the chili noodles were all in his eyes."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji's old face turned red, but he still argued to himself: "You kid is too careless!"

As he spoke, he also picked up a bowl of water and wanted to wash Zheng Yuan's eyes.

However, as soon as he got up, Qin Fan hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you doing here?" The eldest grandson Wuji said dissatisfied.

"Leave this kid alone! He's still a kid!" Qin Fan was speechless.

"What are these words? The old man wants to wash his eyes!" The eldest grandson Wuji explained.

Qin Fan pointed to the "water" in the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Not only do you not have a good nose, but you also don't have good luck in your eyes."

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji looked down.

It turned out that what he was holding was a bowl of wine.

Immediately put down the wine and said, "Isn't this a heart-saving experience?"

Immediately, he realized that something was wrong.

"Wouldn't that be the owner of the antique shop dog?"

"It's not."

The eldest grandson Wuji had a heart:

"Rifle is another family's dog?"

"Not really."

The eldest grandson Wuji breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the wine and took a sip.

"Laifu is Boss Sun's cat."

Qin Fan said lightly.

"You!"

"Ahem"

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't catch his breath, and the wine choked on his throat.

"Alright, let's get down to business! So where should Huo Jiaao go?" Li Shimin began to set things right and bring the topic back.

Qin Fan nodded and said, "I plan to let them grow cotton and weave cloth, and they all agreed."

Li Er was slightly stunned: "Didn't you just say that these were all blocked by the family?"

Qin Fan nodded: "It's indeed blocked."

"Do you have another way?" Li Er was a little surprised, could Qin Fan be able to bypass those families?

"There is indeed another way, but this way does not mean that it bypasses the family, but that the family cannot be cut off!"

Li Shimin immediately said excitedly: "What is the way?"

"Tribute."

"Tribute?"

Li Er couldn't hold back.

When Qin Fan came up with an idea, he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, why was he so confused this time.

"Did you know that there are very high requirements for the quality of tribute! Not to mention the product of a small village, it is a century-old shop in the Tang Dynasty, and the cloth woven cannot meet the standard of tribute."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Qin Fan smiled silently, while Qianqian took out two drawings.

"Childe invented these two kinds of machinery, one for threshing cottonseeds, and the other for a modified loom, called the Jenny Spinning Machine, which was able to weave cloth of imperial tribute quality!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin picked up the two drawings and looked at them carefully.

However, after watching it for a while, he began to have a headache.

He couldn't understand the twisting mechanical structure.

looked at the eldest grandson Wuji on the side, and the other party also rolled his eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to bring that guy with me next time." Li Er secretly planned.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Mengwei must be able to understand the significance of these two drawings!
