Chapter 52
The new system, the biggest beneficiary, is all merchants Mao's.
Under the previous rules, Mao could only deal in a few small goods, for example.
And now they can deal with most of the top grades in Xinyi.
Except for salt, wine, and other things.
They have long wanted to be like the Su family, becoming big businessmen, and wandering between various cities.
A few days ago, Xin discussed with the patriarchs of several small clans, and this was one of them.
Mao's Mao Bian followed Xin You to sell wine, knowing that Xin You had mastered a new wine-making technique.
The money they earned with this technology is more than what their Mao family earns in a year!
If you can follow Dr. Yi and sell this wine, then Mao's will definitely be able to go to the next level.
Mao Yi, the head of the Mao clan, weighed the pros and cons and chose to stand on Xin You's side.
He took the risk of telling Fan Boyu about being in the bearskin, just to tear apart the long-standing shortcomings of Xinyi and put it in front of the people.
Then Xin used those deeds as a threat to force the three elders to retreat and agree to his plan.
Xin did this again, with his own deep considerations.
Xinyi is not big, as long as you sell good wine, you can have a lot of income.
Businessmen's taxes are just a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing is that through this incident, the people of the country will inevitably have some disgust with the three elders and their children, nephews and relatives.
The three elders opposed Xin You's grain distribution at first, and later Fan Boyu's scandal broke out.
Some side branches who are of the same clan as the three elders, but are not close, have unconsciously begun to stand on Xin You's side.
Even the close relatives of the three elders began to have some understanding of what these people were doing, and changed from neutrality to disgust.
On top of that, Xin had prepared enough food for them to survive the winter without having to rely on these large households.
The three elders have lost their greatest reliance and lost the hearts of the people.
Xin only needs a little guidance, plus the plan that has been thought out in advance, which naturally has the support of the vast majority of the Chinese people.
Especially the small family headed by the Mao family and the Du family.
They tasted the sweetness and naturally turned to support Xin You.
Some Chinese people also decided to side with Xin You, especially those who were persecuted by the three elders and their families.
The three elders no longer interfered in Xin Yi's business and lost a channel to make money, which is secondary.
The main thing is that the status of the three elders in the hearts of the Chinese people has been shaky.
Xin began to think again, to find a suitable opportunity to completely drive these three old guys out of Xinyi's inner circle!
With money in his hands and the will of the people, if even these three old guys can't be defeated, then Xin, a traverser, shouldn't think about anything to become a man of the hour in this era.
This is the end of the people's deliberations.
Fan Mi, Yin Rong and Xin Wuzuo left dejectedly.
With so many Chinese people here, they don't dare to check those deeds.
However, Xin did not mention this matter again, and the right to do not exist in this matter.
"There has never been a doctor who dares to threaten us with a deed......," Fan Mi said through gritted teeth.
"Situ, this doctor is different from the past, we have to pay attention." Yin Rong said: "If we treat him as a nerd again, we will still suffer." ”
"Lord Sikong, what you said is not wrong." Fan Mi said: "Why don't you come to my house tonight?" ”
"But, it's better to call Xin Shi Duan again."
The two agreed that after Xin Wuzuo heard it, he hurried to inform Xin Duan.
The stewards of the three families were reunited after many years.
……
Xin's main hall.
Xin and the three heads of the Mao family, the Du family, and the Hu family, are also discussing some things.
The Mao family represents the merchant class of Xinyi, although there are not many, but they are very important.
Xin also decided to let the Mao family act as an agent for all the businesses of Xinyi except for salt and wine, such a benefit made the head of the Mao family have to sigh that it is too much!
Du Shi stood on Xin You's side from the beginning because of Du Gan's relationship, and Xin You also decided to hand over the brewing of Xinyi Azure Wine to Du Gan.
The rest of the Hu family is still swaying on both sides.
"There are only a dozen of us in the Hu family, and all of them make a living from farming, and the most important thing is ...... Our cultivated land is all downstream of the Fan family. ”
Hu Yong, the head of the Hu family, had a sad face.
Xin also wanted these three families to send young children to the township school to learn Chinese and mathematics.
The Mao and Du families naturally had no problem, but the Ping family was in a dilemma.
If they offend the Fan family, they may not even have water next year.
"Hu Yong, haven't you been bullied enough by the Fan family?" Mao Yiyi: "The water of Xinqu is obviously available to all families in Xinyi, why is it that every year they use it first by the Fan family, and then by your Mao family?" ”
"The population of the Fan clan is much larger than that of our Hu clan!" Hu Yong said: "Your fields are not together, you don't know how difficult it is for me." ”
"Either your Hu clan will follow our Mao clan to do business, and change all of you into merchants." Mao Yi.
"Think beautifully! The businessman is precarious, or we farmers are real. Hu Yong said: "The gentleman's kindness, how can I, Hu Yong, not know." It's just that our Hu family has a request from the Fan family, otherwise the Hu family will really not be able to cultivate the land next year! ”
Xin nodded again, Hu Yong said these are the truth.
The Xin family, the Fan family, and the Yin family relied on population and geography to control these small families.
The Xin Canal was a ditch dug by the Fan clan to divert green water to the shady side of the Xinling Mountains, allowing the fields there to be irrigated.
Similarly, the families that were irrigated by the Xin Canal were subject to the control of the Fan family.
After all, they are in the upper reaches of the Xin Canal, and whoever dares to disobey will pull the sluice gate and cut off the water.
The Hu family has been a farmer for generations, and they can't live without water.
"What if...... Shall I allow you to reclaim the wasteland on the banks of the Qingshui River? Xin asked again.
"What?" Hu Yong thought he had misheard.
The land on the banks of the Qingshui River is all good land!
But what wasteland is there to cultivate?
The most important thing is that those fertile lands, where will they be able to open up by the Hu clan?
"To the south of Xinyi, below the Rabbit Ridge, there is a wasteland." Xin said again: "There is land close to our Xin clan's family, I can hand over that piece of land to you to reclaim." ”
"Doctor Yi, I heard you right, right? They had already wanted to open that piece of land, but because it was your land, they didn't dare to ......."
"My land, I have the final say." Xin said again: "Anyway, there are not many people in our sect who can farm, and your Hu clan is good at farming, so I will lend you that land." In addition to that land, you in our family can also farm. ”
"This ......" Hu Yong never expected that these words came out of Xin You's mouth.
Doesn't it mean that the gentlemen of the Xin family in the past dynasties are the most disciplined, never opening up wasteland, and never disturbing the well fields?
"I'm conditional, of course." Xin said: "In addition to letting your children study, there is also the food you get every year, you have to take out some of it and give it to us, after all, I also have to eat." ”
"It's nature!" Hu Yong nodded hurriedly.
With so much land, there is naturally a lot of food.
Half of the grain was given to Dr. Eup, who said they could still get more food.
It's just a bit harder.
But for these people who have been dealing with the land all year round, what they are afraid of is not tiredness, but the lack of land.
What's more, the Hu family has been prosperous in recent years, and many young people have no land and not enough food to eat.
As for farming, Xin has no interest.
He prefers to be a "landlord" and lend his land to farmers to plant.
All you need to do is collect the rent.
Xinyi is so big that even if all the wasteland is cleared, there is not much output value.
To increase the GDP of the whole country, we have to rely on other industries.
For example, winemaking.
"In that case, we're going to settle this matter." Xin said again.
The heads of the three small sects nodded again and again.
Although they are attached to the family of the three elders all the year round, although they don't know Xin very well, although they don't know if Xin You can bring down the three elders.
But they agreed.
Because Xin gave too much again!
