The 1050th section of the road to cure the root cause (1)(1/2)
The next day, Zhang Yue held a banquet in the county government office and hosted celebrities, merchants and workshop owners in Xinfeng.
It was a natural blow and coercion, which made the participants patted their chests and promised that they would abide by the laws and regulations, be good subjects of the court and good lackeys of the country, and would not cause trouble to Shangguan and the court, nor would they cause trouble.
The contracted worker is guaranteed and avoid it as much as possible.
At the same time, it also promises to increase employee benefits and other benefits.
Of course, they could agree so happily, in addition to Zhang Yue's intimidation, the biggest reason is that the current Xinfeng Workshop has a very large profit margin!
After all, Xinfeng’s workshop park is the first national park in the world to organize construction and provide funds, venues and technical support.
Investment in various new agricultural tools and new technologies has enabled almost everyone to obtain a steady stream of orders.
Investing in one million yuan, double the profit in a year, several times and ten times, is very easy.
Because, they have almost no competitors.
Since the Workshop Garden was put into production, the curved plows, trolleys, water trucks, sickles, hoes and other large and small commodities produced have all been produced on assembly lines and have been divided into labor and cooperation.
Its cost is greatly reduced and production efficiency is greatly improved.
There are also various new tools and new technologies that make the product quality far exceed that of ordinary craftsmen.
So, Xinfeng's products instantly rushed into the market, killing all the retail craftsmen and small workshop owners in Guanzhong, monopolizing the market, and then incorporated those craftsmen and small workshop owners into Xinfeng's workshop system, making them become craftsmen or technicians in the workshop.
Now, Xinfeng's products have entered the markets in Heluo, Qichu and other places.
Sucking blood from the world and milking the industry in a county, where can it not take off?
Of course, they just verbally agree, and it is unknown whether they will fall into reality.
Zhang Yue also understood this, so after waiting for a day, he ordered Hu Jian and Chen Wannian to strengthen supervision of all workshops in the Workshop Garden and Xinfeng system.
Anyone who finds a worker who has been abused, disabled, or died, is punished for being injured or murdered!
He also ordered Hu Jian, the Xinfeng County Magistrate, to adopt an office notice system to hear all such criminal acts, and no one needs to accuse them. As long as the government discovers and suspects that they have similar acts, the county government can take the initiative to file a complaint.
Suddenly, the whole of Xinfeng was in chaos, and many workshop owners began to swear.
However, in a helpless manner, he could only pinch his nose and obey the government's notices and orders.
After all, although Wuzhu coins are useful in this country, they are still not as powerful as the government.
Of course, Zhang Yue also understood that severe punishments cannot prevent merchants from taking risks for profits.
The capital that does not eat people does not exist in this world.
So, he had to rack his brains to think of some backup plans for these guys.
One of them is that Zhang Yue declared that the barbarians and slaves were not governed by Han laws, Han laws and Han systems.
In other words, the barbarians have no human rights!
This is correct, no one was surprised.
This has been the case in the past decades. Whether it is the Huns and Hu slaves in the north, the Yue slaves in the south, the Yang or the slaves from the southwest, they have been continuously introduced into inner counties with the expansion of the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, there were a large number of other Western Regions, and the northern vassals moved inward with the Han army.
Now, over the past few decades, the population of all ethnic groups has moved inwardly has at least one million.
However, these Hu people were not very popular in the past.
After all, compared with the Han people who are good at farming, these barbarians who live by water and grass or barbarians who have never seen the world in the mountains are really not good slaves.
I can only do some work of crude benzene, and if I am a little more complicated, I can't keep up.
Therefore, in the past, these Hu people and servants were not very popular and had very low prices.
So much so that the military aristocrats in Hexi have not sold prisoners of war to the inner county now, and they usually digest them on the spot.
So the Han Dynasty created a strange phenomenon. Although the country has won many foreign wars and expanded its territory thousands of miles. However, when the manors and landlords and nobles in the country were slaughtered, they put the low-priced Hu slaves without using them. They sharpened their heads and tried their best to force their compatriots and even the village party to go bankrupt, so as to facilitate the annexation of their land and enslave their wives and sons.
So much so that Hexi has been included in the Han territory for almost 30 years, but the number of Hu people in the local area has always been the same as the number of Han immigrants.
Why?
Isn’t it because after the war was won, the prisoners of war and herders could not be sold, so they could only be resettled on the spot?
But if they were placed on site and there were not enough people to teach them how to farm, they had to sell these people at a low price to those vassals who lacked population?
Like Huiqu, Hunxie, Xiutu, Yuezhi, Wuheng, all purchased large quantities of the Huns and Qiang prisoners from the Han army.
It is precisely by purchasing population from the Han army at a low price that these once small populations can quickly rise!
But now, things have changed.
With Xinfeng strictly prohibiting Han servants and contract workers, and starting to demand increased wages and benefits for employees, but it opened a hole for the slaves and servants of the barbarians.
In an instant, a smart person discovered the benefits of barbarian slaves.
First of all, although the slaves of the barbarians are a little stupid and stupid, they are not suitable for fine farming.
However, there are some work in the workshop garden that does not require brains.
For example, moving bricks, chopping raw materials, transporting goods, and there are many repetitive work that does not require technical skills.
It's like assembling, painting, scrubbing...
Now, the Shaofuqing government only needs three thousand coins to pacify a Xiongnu prisoner of war!
right!
It only costs three thousand yuan!
At this price, it can’t be sold. As long as there is something to do, it may be reduced!
It is not impossible to buy three get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one get one
And this price is really conscientious.
Because a Han slave is at least 8,000 yuan (a small slave), if a big slave is at least 15,000 yuan!
So, these people rushed to the Shaofuqing as if they had discovered a new continent.
The herders and prisoners of war who were captured by Zhang Yue and the Northern War in the Mobei Province instantly became popular.
……………………
However, Zhang Yue no longer paid attention to the workplace garden.
He has arrived in Lixiang at this moment.
Climbing Mount Li and overlooking the entire Li Township, the road is narrow and rugged, and the village houses appear and looming between the mountain gorges. On the other side of the mountain, smoke from cooking cooking rises.
"Crossing Mount Li will be Hongmen!" Zhang Yue said to Liu Jin: "I wonder if Your Highness has been to Hongmen?"
Liu Jin nodded and said, "I followed the emperor's grandfather's imperial carriage several years ago, climbed to Hongmen, watched Emperor Gao's old residence, looked at Xiang Yu's old camp, and lamented the difficulty of starting a business for our ancestors!"
Zhang Yue listened and smiled and said, "Your Highness, I also traveled to Hongmen with my brother when I was young..."
"Can your highness know what I see and hear in Hongmen?"
"Hmm?" Liu Jin asked curiously: "What did you see?"
Zhang Yue raised his head, looked towards Hongmen, and said, "The wine and meat of the rich are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road!"
Hongmen County, one of the richest counties in Guanzhong!
Its land is fertile, beautiful scenery is spectacular, flat terrain, crisscrossing ditches and dense streams, and is also a strategic location for entering and leaving the Guanzhong Plain.
Therefore, when Emperor Gao first stationed his troops in Bashang, Xiang Yu, who later arrived, chose to station his army in Hongmen.
So, the famous Hongmen Banquet was found.
But now...
Hongmen County is one of the areas with the most intense land annexation in Guanzhong!
Zhang Yue recalled the original owner's memory, although his brother was studying in Hongmen.
In his young eyes, everything he had seen and heard of, revealed to him how feudal landlords and feudal aristocrats could eat people?
Close your eyes slightly, Zhang Yue had to be glad that the original owner who he had traveled through time was Nanling County, which was firmly protected and protected by the warmth of the Han Empire. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not choose to go to Changling to be buried with Emperor Gao, but chose to raise the tomb in Nanling, which was far away from Emperor Gao’s Changling!
This made Nanling County Lingyi County Lingyi County.
Imperial power is like a protection net, blocking most of the sins and ugliness.
Even Xinfeng, the same is true.
The existence of the Taishang Emperor Temple also protected many people.
At least it prevents the landlords in Xinfeng from doing what they want to do as they want.
But this is not the case outside Lingyi County.
Especially plains like Hongmen, fertile land.
In order to annex the land and to accumulate wealth, these guys are really bold and reckless!
Liu Jin listened, was slightly stunned, thought about Zhang Yue's words and asked, "What you said is true?"
Zhang Yue nodded, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Liu Jin, and said, "Your Highness, this is the Hongmen introduction sent by Gong Sui, the magistrate of Hongmen County, yesterday..."
