Wei Hui Mansion.

In fact, among the four prefectures, the people of Weihui Prefecture are most frightened because they have completely transformed into a commodity society, full of a large number of industrial and commercial classes, and are also the main class. Some of them are converted from the local agricultural population, and a considerable number of people come from all over the country.

They don't know how to go back either.

If you want to go back to the small peasant society, you have to give them land.

This time he became the prefect of Weihui Prefecture, he was named Lu Langzhai. He was once the magistrate of Weihui Prefecture, in charge of farmland water conservancy and grain transportation in Weihui Prefecture.

Because the ministers in the court also knew that the biggest problem for these governments when they came back was how to go back. They arranged for officials with experience in managing the economy to serve as the top leaders.

The facts were as Aunt Xu had expected. On the first day of Lu Langzhai's return, he swept all the gentry and litigators out, leaving no one left.

You all get out of here.

But after all, the court is located in the past government. If these people are not driven out, how could Lu Langzhai settle in?

He was even reluctant to post a notice for closing the court and the litigation court. What are these things? They are all wrong, their words are not right, and they are not worthy of me to post a notice.

As for the pickets, all the pickets were closed, but the pickets were not swept out. Lu Langzhai also needed yamen servants, and the pickets were all soldier, so he was not qualified to fire them, so he arranged these people to the government office and various county offices as yamen servants.

Unlike Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Wenxun served as the prefect there, and the first person to visit him was some scholars and officials.

There are no scholars and officials in Weihui Mansion. In recent years, the biggest one in Weihui Mansion is a merchant.

Therefore, after Lu Langzhai settled in, the great merchants from Weihui Mansion invited Lu Langzhai as soon as possible.

Lu Langzhai also agreed.

Chen Lou.

When Lu Langzhai entered the conference room, more than 20 wealthy businessmen including Qin Zhuang, Hu Yuan, Song Hui, Qin Dalong immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"The Caomin has met the adults."

Lu Langzhai did not make a sound, and went straight to the seat in front of him and sat down. He looked at the wealthy businessmen from both sides and said, "Come on!"

Immediately walked into the four yamen servants.

Lu Langzhai said: "Move all these chairs and tables out."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhou Feng and the others were trembling with fear as they saw the chair behind them being moved out, as if they had lost their support.

After a while, the entire conference room, except for the chair under Lu Langzhai's butt, the rest of the tables and chairs were all emptied.

This means very obvious.

Why do you sit under the same roof with me?

These wealthy businessmen were so scared that they knelt down and said in unison: "Caomin deserves to die. He offended the Lord. Please spare your life."

Lu Langzhai nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you have not completely forgotten the courtesy of officials and the people."

This is really a smile. These wealthy businessmen kneel on the ground and dare not breathe.

Lu Langzhai looked at them coldly and said, "If the reform was not carried out at this moment, I would never have come here. In my opinion, the invitation letter you made was a humiliation to me. When will I, the Ming officials, come when you, the merchants, call me, come when you will, and leave when you linger."

Zhou Feng and the others felt that they were unjustly dead. We clearly invited you, but why did they become the ones who called you and the other who said they were gone.

We can't bear the blame!

But they also knew what Lu Langzhai meant, that was, they should have visited them themselves, and just an invitation letter was too casual.

This is not to say that they did it on purpose, but they were all used to holding meetings in Chenlou and for banquets. Of course, they paid for the best restaurant to entertain Lu Langzhai, but Lu Langzhai insisted on taking advantage of the issue, and they had no choice.

"Caomin should die."

These wealthy businessmen said in unison.

"Forget it this time, but I don't want to have another round."

Lu Langzhai asked again: "I am now busy with official duties, so I will be spared this banquet. If you have any questions, please tell me quickly."

These wealthy businessmen are looking around and encouraging each other, you can say.

Lu Langzhai frowned and said, "If you have nothing to do, then the official will go back."

In the end, Zhou Feng bit the bullet and said, "Sir, we...we, grass people, grass people just... we just want to ask the adults, will we make any adjustments in business, such as the previous contract law, tax law, etc., will these be changed?

The grass people have no other intentions, and the grass people are just afraid that they will not know the rules and delay the payment of taxes at that time, or pay less, and cause trouble for you... to you."

"It turns out that it's because of this!"

Lu Langzhai smiled coldly and said, "It seems that you all think that you are no longer a commoner in the Ming Dynasty. Even the tax laws and criminal laws of the Ming Dynasty cannot remember it."

"The grass-roots dare not."

"Don't dare?"

Lu Langzhai snorted, "Since you don't dare, why do you have such a question? The Criminal Law is the Criminal Law of My Ming Dynasty, and the Tax Law is the Tax Law of My Ming Dynasty. Do you have to post a notice even if this is the one?"

"Caomin should die."

"That will not be sinful to death."

Lu Langzhai suddenly with a weak momentum, and said, "You all get up."

Zhou Feng and the others were stunned and secretly glanced at Lu Langzhai first. Seeing that he was not talking nonsense, they said in unison: "Thank you, sir."

He stood up tremblingly.

Lu Langzhai smiled and said, "I have never blamed the past for everything, but if I commit it again later, I will definitely punish you severely. I hope you can be law-abiding in Weihui Mansion, be at peace with your own affairs, and do your business well. Don't ask too much about the rest, don't worry too much, you should all take care of yourself."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

For any official, he will use this trick of adding red dates.

In fact, Lu Langzhai also knew the importance of merchants to Weihui Mansion at present. He would not be so stupid that he drove all these merchants away immediately, but he had to establish his own authority and suppress these wealthy merchants.

He first gave these merchants a warning to shock them, but in the end he also implied that as long as you stick to your own affairs, I will not cause trouble for you.

So after he went back, he ordered someone to post a notice.

The notice did not deny everything Guo Dan did. He just said that Guo Dan's coming here was just a temporary adjustment and it would not last long. In the end, he would still have to return to the right track. It was natural for me to come back, but it was just a matter of time sooner or later.

This makes sense. No matter how hard Guo Dan will die, it will not be possible to contract forever.

Regarding the criminal law and the tax law, we are all back to the past.

But it also hinted on the notice that everyone would not force everyone to return to the countryside to farm.

He used to be an economic maker, and he knew that he would not be able to go back at this time. At present, a large amount of land in Weihui Mansion is in the hands of landlords. Even if he wants to return to the small peasant society, he has to slowly change.

He predicted that these businessmen were just to make money, and as long as they were allowed to make money, they would not cause trouble.

But he obviously did not predict correctly.

One of the most critical reasons why Wei Hui Mansion can carry out large-scale production is its sense of security.

These merchants dare to invest so much money to Weihui Mansion and build such a large workshop because of the guarantee of the contract system. No matter how much money I have to put here, it is very safe.

Once you lose the system of checks and balances between the three hospitals, then you, Lu Langzhai, have the final say. Who dares to invest so much money here?

If you say this, we may lose everything.

Lu Langzhai is really smart but is mistaken for being smart.

The first fire he made when he took office was very strong, but it directly made the wealthy businessmen feel very scared of him.

You can move our chairs away in someone’s restaurant today, and you can come to my house tomorrow and take away all my money.

On the second day after the notice was posted, Qinzhuang directly announced that he would no longer renew his contract with the royal family and would return the workshop to the royal family.

Zhou Feng, Cao Da, Hu Yuan, and other wealthy businessmen who used Lu Wang Mansion as their production base all made the same choice.

The production center of Weihui Mansion is in the former Luwang Mansion. It was originally rented to them by Guo Dan, but it was not their territory.

When Guo Dan signed the contract to terminate the contract, he buried a thunder in the contract, which was the former Lu Wang Mansion to the royal family, but it did not belong to the local government.

Then the lease has to be negotiated again.

The royal family can choose not to rent it to them, and they can choose not to rent it.

Now they all choose not to rent.

In fact, Zhou Feng and the others were waiting for Lu Langzhai to abolish the contract law. As long as Lu Langzhai abolished this, all employment contracts cannot be counted because there is a very important regulation in the employment contract.

The businessman is responsible for helping employees pay taxes, but the tax has changed. This is a piece of waste paper, and every word on it is wrong. How can this be counted?

But the people did not fight with the officials, and they did not dare to openly sing a counter-topic with the government. They just said that the royal family took back the workshop and we could not start work.

This "center" is gone, and the surrounding area must be dead.

Qinzhuang only set up a textile workshop, and dyes were produced by other merchants. The largest textile workshop suddenly closed, and the orders were instantly reduced by 70%, and the dye workshop immediately stopped dishes.

No one produces or develops.

Construction workshops, transportation, fleets, warehouses, can’t continue to operate.

The domino effect suddenly occurred.

The entire Weihui Mansion business suddenly became in shock and stopped completely.

However, these merchants are still very "human". Although they did not give any more money to their employees, they sent all the goods stored in the warehouse to employees as compensation.

In fact, all the valuable goods were transported away before, leaving only some ordinary daily necessities.

They thought to themselves, if we do this, these goods may not be able to be kept, because Lu Langzhai can be sealed all of them with just one word, so it would be better to give them all to everyone.

Anyway, I have lost so much money, so do I still care about this little?

Before Lu Langzhai could react, nearly 100,000 unemployed employees were added in the city.

At the same time, all counties and towns are also full of unemployed employees.
