The steam engine is not yet in use, which makes Qin Mu a little worried that he will not be able to change the entire production pattern of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, he feels that he has been resisted in ancient times for the first time, but the dream of great navigation in his heart is becoming stronger and stronger.

Although he stayed up all night, Qin Mu was unusually energetic, and when he got home, he saw Xiaoqing holding his mobile phone in the lobby to settle accounts.

"How's it going? God of Wealth, how have the rumors been selling recently? ”

His shop has been open for more than a month, and Xiaoqing has been taking care of it.

"This month, we have sold a total of more than 17,000 yuan of Yelan Rumors every day, and the net profit is nearly 700 taels according to the profit of more than 40 percent, plus the palace has been restocking, we have no problem with 1,000 taels a month."

"Tut-tut, you're learning very fast, you're going to get percentages, it's really good, this Yelan rumor is our current pillar product." Qin Mu suddenly felt in a good mood.

"Alas, Brother Qin, you are still happy, you know that now the Luoyang Guild has released imitations, and they are cheaper than us, I predict that there will be no such thing next month." Xiaoqing's face was melancholy.

"It's okay, the people we are facing are different, don't worry, they have to hang our brand to be able to sell."

"In this Luoyang City, we are hanging our brand, and when we get out of Luoyang, we will change our name, it is said that what is the name of longevity cream, and it is popular in Chang'an."

Qin Mu's face turned pale, "Yishou cream, it's really vulgar enough, only fools can believe that they can prolong their lives with this thing, but ah, this name is quite in line with today's market, our name is too elegant, and our customers are mainly literati and ink writers."

This Liu Changqing has stopped for so long and doesn't know what crooked idea he is thinking! ”

At this time, a girl walked in with a tray and bowed her head politely and said, "Chairman, eldest lady, second lady asked me to make you a pot of flower tea." ”

"You are? Oh, the maid I bought last time, right? ”

"Well, you can call me Xiaohua in the future."

"Brother Qin, how is Xiaohua? This is what I dressed up with Sister Ruoqin. Xiaoqing hugged Xiaohua and showed off.

"Hmmm! Yes, it has a bit of a girl-next-door flavor. He glared at Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, can you tell me who sent you?" ”

Xiaohua pitifully got into Xiaoqing's arms, "No, I wasn't sent by anyone." ”

"Brother Qin! What are you doing! ”

"What's the matter, Xiaoqing, I recruited her in the first place just to know who sent her, since I didn't say it, then sell her to Tianxian Building." Qin Mu picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Ruoqin walked over at this time, "Qin Mu, you must be too anxious, since she is unwilling to say it, there must be something unspeakable, Tianxian Mansion is not a place for people."

I think I started from washing the thatched house, I can only eat the leftovers of the guests every day, I can only sleep on the floor when I sleep, whether it is winter or summer, I have to be beaten every day, and the guests will rub oil from time to time, Qin Mu, you are harming her by sending her to that place! ”

Qin Muqiang couldn't help but smile, if Qin's trick was okay, she would scare her by singing with a red and white face.

"Ruoqin, I bought you back for five hundred taels of silver, you are my person, how can you stand next to an outsider, what do you want to do!"

Xiaoqing watched the two of them tense and instantly froze in place, "Why are you arguing!" ”

"You bought her, that Xiaohua is also your person, when Xue Huaiyi came to the door, you beat him out without saying a word, and blackmailed him for 10,000 taels of silver, these Ruoqin are all remembered, are you even intolerant of Xiaohua?"

Xiaohua listened quietly to the side and couldn't stop the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I said, I said, it was Xue Temple Supervisor who asked me to come!" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth, "Don't be afraid, Xue Huaiyi, why can't he do you." ”

Ruoqin walked up to Xiaohua and helped her wipe her tears, "Don't cry, why can Xue Huaiyi let you give him his life?" ”

"My mother is in their hands." Xiaohua knelt in front of Qin Mu with a puff, "Chairman, if you really have the ability, save my mother, can you redeem her?" You can do whatever I want. ”

"Get up." Qin Mu helped her up, "If you make it clear, I will definitely help you if I can help." ”

Xiaohua intermittently told the reason.

It turned out that Xue Huaiyi's monks in the White Horse Temple were all ruffians and hooligans, and some of his fox friends and dog friends, Xue Huaiyi alone ascended to heaven and took them under his command to help them do things.

However, this Tang monk has too many restrictions, and every time he enters and leaves any place, he will be recorded, which is an order issued by Empress Wu.

But the group of people were accustomed to drinking and drinking and could not endure loneliness, so they imprisoned the women of good families who begged for children for their amusement, and most of the husbands of those women were killed, and Xiaohua's father was one of them.

"This Xue Huaiyi is really damned!" Xiaoqing said angrily.

"I can't imagine that a monk can have so much energy, Qin Mu, have you thought of a way to deal with him?"

Qin Mu was unusually calm, first of all, he wasn't sure if what Xiaohua said was true, it might be a trap waiting for him to get in.

Qin Mu is not a chivalrous person, and naturally he doesn't have too many mood swings, after all, he has seen too many dirty things, and it is not uncommon for monks to steal fish.

The whole thing is actually difficult to obtain evidence or redress grievances, Xue Huaiyi is the favorite minister of the Empress Wu, and his conversion to Buddhism represents the face of the Empress Wu, and once such a scandal ferments, it is he who is unlucky.

"People still have to be saved, but they can only be saved secretly." Qin Mu thought for a long time and then said, "The Midyear Festival is about to fall, we can make a fuss here." ”

Xiaoqing and Ruoqin didn't understand what Qin Mu meant, Ruoqin saw this and took Xiaohua away, and Qin Mu said the plan.

In the Lichun Palace, Fei Ran stood in the middle of the hall with a nervous expression, and from time to time glanced at the Empress Wu who was reading the fold.

After a while, Empress Wu spread out her music and glanced at Feiran, "This is what you wrote?" ”

"Yes, the minister has been reforming the system of uniform land on the basis of the present day for many years.

Today's Junda system has three drawbacks. ”

"Oh, you elaborate." Empress Wu instantly became interested.

"First, the distribution of land is uneven, and although the original intention of the equalization system is to distribute land equally, in the actual land distribution, the distribution of land is not necessarily completely fair. Local officials may manipulate the measurement and classification of land in favor of a few privileged or powerful people rather than peasants who really need it.

Second, on the issue of land inheritance, according to the equalization system, land should be distributed equally among children, resulting in serious land division. What's more, an acre of land is divided into three points, and every time the brothers plant and harvest grain, there is a lot of quarrel between the brothers, and there are still people who fight.

Third, the infrastructure is insufficient, and there is a lack of investment and construction of rural infrastructure under the land equalization system. The lack of infrastructure such as irrigation systems, roads and markets limits farmers' ability to produce and distribute their products. The last flood around Luoyang was caused by the river bursting its banks, and the corresponding agricultural infrastructure plays a vital role in food production. ”

Empress Wu agreed with Feiran's analysis of the situation, and the current Juntian system is no longer like that of Emperor Taizong at the beginning.

"The re-measurement, the redistribution, and the use of off-site officials to measure is really good.

The leasing and agricultural technology you mentioned in the sparse, among which the leasing I think your last sparse was very good, but how to improve the agricultural technology? ”

"Nowadays, it is too much time and energy for smallholder farmers to work intensively, so the minister proposed to send special officials to the countryside to teach how to farm and increase harvests, and at the same time to examine the advantages and disadvantages of each place and formulate a plan to build local facilities to improve farming and ensure harvests," Fei Ran said. ”

The officials in the Si Nong Temple of the household department are idle, but they want oil and water, and some of them can't even afford to support their families.

Only the officials of the household department who expropriate and distribute land have real power, and they only have this department.

Therefore, Fei Ran was sure that as long as Empress Wu agreed with his point of view, these people would definitely be able to do well for promotion.

"Well, Feiran, what you said is very reasonable, just looking at the annual tax is still too general, it's time for Sinong Temple to pay attention to it.

The idea is good, but it needs to be implemented after the autumn harvest. If everything is as you say, I will reward you. ”

Fei Ran was a little disappointed, and he began to wonder if he had changed Qin Mu's strategy too much, Qin Mu's method of fighting the landlord and dividing the land was too strong, and if it was not implemented well, it would cause chaos in the world.

It was Qin Mu who gave him inspiration, but what disappointed him was that when he was promoted, his daughter would have married that Chen fool a long time ago.

Empress Wu saw that Feiran was a little unhappy and said, "Your position is Tuntian Lang, in this way, you first go to Sinong Temple to serve as the secretary of the temple, hang the third rank, and ensure that you can be converted to the third grade after this autumn harvest." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager Xie!"

Fei Ran was still unhappy in his heart, so he could only force a smile, in fact, he blamed himself for drinking and making mistakes, and he didn't want to make progress all day long in order to seek stability, and finally ended up in this end.

"Daughter, dad is sorry for you!" Fei Ran thought with a lot of guilt in his heart.

The Midyear Festival is quietly approaching, and the streets of the West Market are filled with smoke, and a group of people with strange masks are chanting strange passwords as they walk.

The most lively in the Midyear Festival is the temple, and the people with heads and faces in Luoyang City will place their ancestral tablets in the temple to worship incense.

Qin Mu gave all employees paid leave, and since several of them were helpless people, they didn't need to worship anyone.

Qin Mu was tinkering with the information of all the employees at home.

Now there are more than 200 employees, and the salary for a month is more than 300 taels, but fortunately, the profits brought by Yelan rumors are quite considerable, and they will not make ends meet.

At this time, Xiaoqing took Ruoqin to the main hall.

"Brother Qin, Ruoqin and I went to the temple to pray for incense, will you go?"

Qin Mu turned around, "Hmm... Let me think about it. ”

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment but agreed.
