Chapter 281 Terrible Misunderstanding (Part 2)(1/2)
It was really the little princess who brought the servants here. She really dared to accept them. Why didn't she accept them? She wanted to murder Yuping and used the little princess to make trouble and ask questions. Why didn't she accept them when it comes to this?
But Song Jiu was very wise, and the little princess couldn't succeed. Not to mention that more than a dozen sheds were slowly forced, these servants had to pack their luggage, and even their wife was working in another place, and she came to Hezhou by herself, and her wife suffered in Hebei?
With this time buffer, the city has already reacted.
In fact, Song Jiuzhen accepted the situation and released people from Hezhou. Didn’t he want people? I’ll give you some thorns and some injured people, and you can go to Henan. Normal craftsmen and servants all tried to force them to sign a contract.
There are also many yamen in Hebei. At first, there are more than Hezhou, but now there are fewer than Hezhou Yamen. Hezhou has expanded its shares several times and has absorbed many yamen in. However, they have few yamen in their contracts. Although there are fewer yamen opposite, the yamen has a more considerable background.
There is another characteristic: there are more children of military generals here and more children of civil servants there.
There are differences. Song Jiu's starting point here is lower. If it weren't for the new regulations, all the yamen had the right to speak. The class there was clear, and most of the yamen had no right to speak. If you want to speak, look at Zhao Chengzong's father and measure your own father. Most of the yamen were removed, and some yamen were also playing tricks, so you don't want to get involved too much. There are also some yamen's feathers treasured themselves. After seeing some bad things happening in Hebei, they took the initiative to avoid them. But there are many people who can speak and come with Zhao Chengzong, six of them.
The seventy-year-olds were in the 70th yamen. They wanted to curry favor with Zhao Chengzong, and their father also wanted to curry favor with Zhao Pu. But twenty or thirty people were removed, after all, Hebei took action first. He also obtained the glass technology, so why force others to frame their concubines and sons? Therefore, they remained silent one after another. But the Song Dynasty was not like the Tang Dynasty, and every family had a clique. Some cliques were family generals. They dared not publicly mobilize the ban on publicly like Wang Jixun. This would be worse than the servants. No matter how many servants there were, were there many people in the two rivers and thousands of households outside the city?
So the two sides were in a stalemate.
But they were not in a hurry, waiting to watch the big show to see how Zhao Pu threw Song Jiu into the Yellow River. Zhao Pu had this ability, and the rest was a matter of time.
Song Jiu analyzed the dynamics of these people and said to Guo Da: "You go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately. Report the incident and ask the two kings to notify His Majesty. After making it clear, it was the little princess who was instigated and came to accuse me again. I just asked her to compare it, and did not instigate His Highness to burn the contract."
"Here."
Song Jiu continued to write down the inspiration with his pen and calculate it on the paper.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi could not tell whether Song Jiu really did not use his niece or was fake. But he knew the seriousness of the matter. If he wanted to take someone, he would definitely not let him go. If he didn't do it well, something big would happen. He hurried to the palace and said the matter again.
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a long time and said, "Second brother, you will pass on a verbal edict for me. All royal relatives, royal family members and relatives of the outside world will withdraw from the two rivers."
Zhao Kuangyi opened his mouth wide in disguise.
"The face of the royal family is important. Don't be expensive because money is the country that the royal family cares about the most."
"Here."
But he didn't know that his elder brother was about to use his ruthless moves. His heart was painful. Zhao Kuangyin said: "If you withdraw from the two rivers, then you have a fair position. Leave this matter to you."
"Okay," Zhao Kuangyi withdrew from the palace in a daze. It hurts so much. He first came to Song Jiu's house and asked, "Song Jiu, if I withdraw from the two rivers, how much money can I get?"
"Why did the two kings say this?"
"The emperor issued an edict to all the relatives and children of the royal family members and relatives will withdraw from the two rivers."
Song Jiu also raised his head blankly. He couldn't figure it out and finally said, "Two Kings, you have the most shares of contract."
"And more of you?"
"My one can't count. I'm going to prepare for the stability of Hezhou in the future. I will slowly hand it over to the court. People should be content and have too much wealth. I put it on the experiment, and no one is jealous. If I put it at home, I don't know how big it will be."
"Satisfied, okay, I will report to the emperor."
"This is not urgent, it's still early. It's at least six or seven years before Hezhou can completely stop construction. However, if the two kings withdraw, their income will be considerable, because you have the largest shareholdings, expanding to more than 90,000 yuan, but more than 90,000 yuan. If you don't invest in a year, all dividends can be close to 45% of the total income. This is a stable income. What kind of business can achieve this profit? Moreover, the income will be higher in the future."
"I feel heartbroken," Zhao Kuangyi covered his chest.
Yuping covered her mouth and laughed.
"You Mrs. Xiao Ru, you are so generous every day. How can you know the hardships of ordinary people? It hurts so much to put it in that person's hands."
"Don't be sad for the second king. I can send someone to secretly promote the truth or even exaggerate it. It is not to withdraw the shares as a result, but to sell it to some merchants, and its price will rise to more than four to five times."
"Four to five times." Zhao Kuangyi's mind was immediately cleared.
"If you can do it, there are several relatives and royal families in Hebei, and there are also those here, yours, the three kings, the two princesses, the queens, the Fu family, and the Gao family. Oh my God, you all withdraw, Hezhou will run naked."
"Don't worry, this time the emperor's brother took a ruthless move and withdrew all of them. These families will hate Zhao Gong. If this person is not eliminated, the country will be uneasy."
"Well, the two kings, one is urgent treatment, the other is slow treatment. If the emergency treatment is slow, it will lose some losses. Finally, it is slow treatment. I set a standard to divide the stock into dozens of bundles for auction. If it is less than four or five times, it will fail to sell it. In this way, it will be sold out in at least one year. I will not disclose the number of stocks to outsiders. Several companies can send a supervisor to supervise them."
"Okay." Zhao Kuangyi took a few steps. If he could get so much money, it would be enough for him to spend several years. However, he still felt a little painful and withdrew. Although he received a huge sum of money, he would be gone after using it. Song Jiu whispered: "Second King, don't worry. My money is in and out. Even if I calculate Yuping's account book by myself, it will take at least several days to calculate it. Others cannot calculate it at all. Besides, there are eight ships on the sea, and I plan to build four larger sea ships. The second king needs money, so I will send someone to secretly."
There is no way. Don’t care whether Zhao Kuangyi will be an emperor or not. He must tie Zhao Kuangyi to the carriage. Otherwise, before Zhao Pu falls, there will be no protection for Hezhou.
"Boy, how much money did you make?"
Song Jiu ran to the back and took out a book book and said, "Two Kings, this is the general account. Look at Hezhou, there are many shares, but there are still taxes. There are actually not many left, which is simply impossible to match my expenses. If it weren't for the profits of several ships over the years, I would have been in high debt."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at the account book and understood. The money Song Jiu earned in Hezhou was basically subsidized to the country. No wonder the yamen did not argue or argue. Song Jiu said again: "The money is useful in my hands, and I have squandered it all, so I gradually gave the yamen a gift to the people."
Zhao Kuangyi was recognized by Song Jiu. When he saw his income, he felt relieved and rode a horse to Hebei.
There was a confrontation in front of the workshop in Hebei, and Zhu Yanei also brought his servants there. Wei Xianxin was trying to persuade his little niece. Zhao Kuangyi said, "Xianxin, you retreat aside."
Regarding Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, the three old guys, Zhao Kuangyi, believed that they were in a sympathy with Zhao Pu, and they were all disgusted, so they didn't speak with a good attitude.
They were afraid of him. Zhao Pu used a big stick to smash it on Zhao Kuangyi's head. That was Zhao Pu. Do the others dare? Wei Xianxin retreated to the side obediently, and Zhao Chengzong came over and whispered: "The second king, although the workshop manager is not good, he cannot let His Highness take the servants and craftsmen away with him, and the workshop will collapse."
"Chengzong, what does it have to do with me if the workshop collapsed? What does it have to do with the country? In addition to causing trouble for Kaifeng Prefecture, the workshops in Hebei have paid a penny of taxes?"
"The Two Kings..."
"Don't think I have a covenant in Hezhou. Your Majesty issued an edict that from today on all royal relatives and relatives will withdraw from all covenant in the two rivers."
The yamen were stunned together.
"I used to have a covenant stock in it, but it was inconvenient to deal with it. Today, I will withdraw from the covenant stock and I can deal with it."
"The two kings, they all have a contract, regardless of whether His Royal Highness the Princess burned it or not."
"The country's law is great, or the contract is great? Chengzong, your father is the prime minister of the country. Is it not to consider his reputation at all?"
"I'll change the supervisor right away."
Zhao Kuangyi ignored him and came to the little princess and asked, "Why do you do this?"
"Uncle, come and have a look," Princess Yongqing brought the beaten servant to Zhao Kuangyi and said, "Uncle, ask them about their salary again, see how they eat, drink, live, and have a family. Their previous traits were not as good as theirs."
The servants behind her knelt down and cried together.
"That person is his supervisor."
The supervisor changed his face and color and came over: "The second king, the youngest one is."
"Why do you want to hit him?"
"He burned the cup."
At this time, many people were watched, and Zhao Kuangyi said to the yamen runners behind him: "Go to Hezhou to call the manager of the workshop there together with the supervisor."
The yamen runners went to Henan.
Zhao Kuangyi said: "Chengzong, take me to see where they live."
Zhao Chengzong's face looked very ugly, but he had to follow.
After looking at the shed, looking at the food and clothing of the servants. Smelling the unpleasant smell in the shed, Zhao Kuangyi walked out and said angrily: "Is this a place where people stay? Qimin, what a Qimin! This is a tragic scene under the feet of the emperor."
"The second king, I wanted to build a house last year, but Zhu Yanei disagreed. In addition, the profit is also small, so he is preparing to discuss when to build it."
What he said was the truth. Last year, there was such a discussion. He would not build a house like Hezhou. The situation in Hebei was complicated and he could not plan it. However, he was planning to build some houses that could be seen, even if it was a straw shed, it would be at least safe. But in recent years, it didn’t matter if it was a worker’s living in expensive land and house construction, but the restaurants and inns cannot be different. Coupled with the continuous investment, the money was not much. Although the glass brought a lot of profits at the end of last year, Zhu Yanei was reluctant to let it go and did not agree to him to build a house. Zhao Chengzong invested in Hebei in order to win people’s hearts and increase the power of father and son. Some Yanei disagreed. His father’s power reached its peak last year, and Zhao Chengzong didn’t care much about it, and he didn’t really care about the servants, so the matter became cold. He was going to discuss it again this year, but it was hard to say whether the meeting would be held this year. Whether it was discussed or not, who would believe it now?
Zhao Kuangyi took Yanei to other industries in Hebei.
Except for some small industries, which are owned by their own families, none of the others is good. Under the leadership of Zhao Chengzong, the entire Hebei servant life was terrible. It was normal, and this was an inevitable product of pseudo-capitalism.
If you go to some pit mines below to see the barbarian slaves in Kuixia area or the neighboring households in Bashu, their lives are even worse.
But now there is a paradise comparison of Hebei, where Hebei puts aside the glamorous restaurants, inns, brothels, etc. Behind it is like hell.
The yamen runner brought the manager of the Hezhou Liuli Workshop with him. Zhao Kuangyi asked, "If the Liuli Cup is burned, what do you do?"
"Treat?" The manager scratched his head strangely, suddenly woke up, and said, "The second king, this is the case. It depends on the newbie and experienced, clumsy and skillful hands. Usually, the newbie comes in and is carried by the experienced, so that they can be skilled and trained. There will definitely be mistakes. This is reflected by salary. For example, if a newbie enters a workshop, he only has three yuan salary per month, plus holidays and overtime rewards, which is less than four yuan. However, after this period, he becomes familiar with his hands and is willing to work hard, with less damage and a high yield rate. The reward is thick. If he is not careful, the damage rate is high and the yield rate is low. The reward is small. When the rice price rises, the Jade Madam is kind-hearted and subsidizes another 800-cent rice in January."
"Have you ever hit someone?"
"Watch someone? That person will not make mistakes. Even a skilled master will make mistakes. Besides, who is willing to ruin it will have another reward stimulation. No one will ruin it. You can't beat the servants. The more you beat the servants, the less you won't be careful. The more you are afraid, the less you will burn it. And they are also humans."
Hearing his statement, the servants in the Hebei workshop started crying loudly again.
"I'll ask you again, where are your servants earning?"
"Master..."
"Don't mention the master craftsman, I'll just ask ordinary servants."
"The young man just said that if he had just started, he would have less than four coins. If he had a skilled hand, he would have less than five coins. If he had a skilled hand, he would have more than six coins and seven coins. In addition, he would have a little money. This account was a bit chaotic, and if he had a house, he would have a little more money. In addition, sometimes he would have overtime work from time to time, some would have more money. Some would have more money, and those with a smaller hand could have only a few hundred cents. That's about that."
The servants behind him cried even more sadly.
Zhao Kuangyi pointed to a servant and asked, "Don't cry, answer this official, how long have you been in the workshop, how much monthly salary is? How many holidays are there, and how many hours a day are there?"
"The second king, the young man has been in the workshop for more than half a year, working for five hours a day, and there is no holiday. If there is anything, he will deduct double salary. The monthly salary is three stones of rice, half a piece of cloth, and two hundred coins. Last year, the rice price is high, and the rice is gone. It is changed to money, one thousand coins, half a piece of cloth. But the rice price is so expensive, my family can only eat corn half hungry and half full."
"Chengzong, how can you bear it?"
"I don't know much about the second king. In this way, I will raise their salary immediately."
"Don't use it. I will withdraw from the two rivers contract. The affairs here are at the feet of the emperor. I must take care of it. Jia Yan, I will pass on the orders for me. From today on, the prices in the capital are expensive and it is difficult to live in. For the stability of the capital, all the workers' monthly salary of all workshops and shops cannot be less than three coins. Any contract is invalid if the contract is less than three coins. In the future, any elderly households who sign a monthly salary of less than three coins for merchants and workshop owners will be punished with the lightest ones.
Those who have food and clothing have a place to live. Anyone who employs one person, whether temporarily or gifted, the housing price shall not be lower than the cost of ten yuan. If there is any fault, they will be sent to the second county of Junyi, Kaifeng for interrogation. No customer in charge or the main household shall be allowed to beat the servants privately, and violators shall be severely beaten and beat the cane. From then on, all workshops and shops will be taxed. Those who do not pay the tax will be investigated and punished for the workshops and shops. Ten days will be given to remedy, and this order will take effect ten days later."
"Here."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at a group of servants again and said, "You all got up. Although the contract was burned, there were people who had made the contract. You are not allowed to leave the workshop privately. However, I will send yamen runners to patrol Hebei in the future. Those who have grievances can complain to the yamen runners or come to Kaifeng Prefecture. I will make the decision for you."
