[Zhong Qiongyao] Laowu does not have barbecued pork

The owner's surname is Liu, and he is known as Uncle Liu.He cried to Fu Heng and others about the tragic situation in the past few years-it turned out that because several factories have been built around the capital in the past few years, a large number of people have been recruited, and the welfare benefits are very good, many tenants without land have given up working for the landlords. The meager commission earned, turned to work in the factory.Originally, these landlords took it too seriously. After all, most of the tenants had signed an agreement with Zhuangzili, and they had to work for as many years as possible, otherwise they would have to pay a large sum of money.

And those factories were really not that big of a threat when they were first built. Firstly, they were not large enough to recruit enough manpower;But later, with the gradual increase of the scale of the factory and the popularity of the production form of the factory, it became more and more difficult to recruit workers, especially in the past two years.

Therefore, some factories even voluntarily lent money to tenants to "redeem their lives". Because of this, a large number of tenants in the village fled. Although they slowly paid liquidated damages, the farmland was uncultivated.Take Liu Sanshu as an example. It is already April, but the fields that have been cultivated are only [-]% of what they were last year, and only [-]% of what they were four years ago!

This problem can be big or small. If it is small, it is nothing more than the private escape of the tenants, but they have already paid the liquidated damages, so there is really nothing to pursue, but if it is big, then there is something to say.

The most important point is, if the common people stop farming, what will they eat?Even if two or three achievements are missing, it can cause social turmoil, not to mention [-] to [-] percent, which cannot be ignored at all.

Hearing this, Fu Heng was a little ashamed. Brother Wu was the first one to start a factory, not to mention that he also invested money in several of them. Now the annual dividends are more than all the tributes in various places, so He wanted to press it quietly first, and then make a plan after discussing it with the fifth elder brother after returning to Beijing.

However, Ji Xiaolan, who came together, was unwilling to let it go-although the factory may make the people earn more money, but letting them abandon the farm and work, isn't it a waste of money!Another one, this kind of food is getting less and less every year, so isn't the price of food rising year by year?In the end, the common people still have to spend more money, and the wool is all on the sheep, so we must not indulge.

So in the end, this matter was presented to Emperor Qianlong.

At that time, he and the prince happened to be on the sidelines, how could Qianlong not be furious when he saw this situation, he directly threw Zhezi on Hongzhou's head, and then asked Yongqi to be summoned.

——Actually, he only found out about Yongqi’s opening of a factory last year, and sent Yongqi to Wutai Mountain to accompany the Queen Mother to worship Buddha. Apart from Lin Bi’s incident, this can be regarded as one of the reasons.But at that time, he really didn't expect such a consequence. He just felt that the fifth child was a bit self-willed and depraved in the merchant industry.But since such a big problem has already occurred, especially the problem that affects the foundation of the country, he must not tolerate it—the factory must be banned!

Even so, they do bring handsome profits.

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Lin Bi became anxious when he heard about Qianlong's attitude towards the factory. If it is really banned, it will become a small family workshop. Not only is the efficiency low, but the quality cannot be guaranteed. I can't keep it anymore, and most importantly, I will definitely earn a lot less money!

Yong Qi deliberately teased her: "If you were me, what would you do?"

"Factories must never be banned!"

"But how are you going to convince Huang Ama?"

Lin Bi propped her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly ran back into the room, took out a pen and paper, lay down on the table and began to draw something.

Yong Qi was curious, so she leaned over to take a look, and found that there were many Western letters on it, as well as the Arabic numerals that Grandet taught him, as well as some other weird symbols.

Lin Bi scribbled and corrected, and took a while to put away the pen, and handed the paper to Yong Qi: "This is a simple calculation of the profits Huang Ama got from you and the price of food based on the dividends you gave before and the price of food." The damage you will suffer after the banning of factories - the high trade tax you pay is fully enough to make up for the farmers' annual taxes, it is better to simply waive the agricultural tax, so that more people can go to the land."

"No farm tax? Are you stupid?" Yong Qi looked at the data while listening to Lin Bi's words. The things she calculated were indeed enough for Huang Ama to limit the development of the factory instead of completely banning it, but When I heard it later, I seemed to have heard some fantasy, "Even in the richest dynasty, there was never a saying that the agricultural tax was exempted!"

Lin Bi pursed her lips and muttered softly, "...there is no agricultural payment in our place..."

After hearing this, Yong Qi was even more surprised, but she also knew that every time she talked about her past with Lin Bi, she would be very resistant, so this time she wisely gave up her own idea of ​​exploring, and nodded instead: " This is also a good idea—although the agricultural tax cannot be exempted completely, it is probably no problem to exempt [-]% to [-]%——it is a good idea to raise farmers through business!"

Lin Bi didn't know anything about politics at all, so she could only use the knowledge she had learned to do experiments and calculate the score. But seeing Yong Qi's expression, she knew that things were probably not that bad, so she relaxed, and chatted with Yong Qi about what happened today. Yong Qi listened to what happened in Lan Xin's yard with a smile, and the room was full of warmth.

As the first owner of the factory in the suburbs of Beijing, Yong Qi and Prince He could only pay for the compensation to Uncle Liu together.These two are local tyrants, and the amount of compensation really satisfied Uncle Liu, so they left the village and continued to travel south.

For Qianlong, this time the little Yanzi really did a good deed, so he became more and more amiable towards the little Yanzi.

Little Swallow is actually very good at looking at people's faces, unless he is spoiled to the point of being lawless, he would dare to act recklessly, which was the case in his previous life.So after realizing Qianlong's attitude towards her, he happily took Zi Ling to Qianlong's carriage, chatting and laughing with Qianlong, which was quite pleasant.

This time, Lin Bi got up very early in the morning. After using the breakfast, she hurriedly went directly to the carriage of Lan Xin and the fourth princess. Bring a horse to guard the carriage with Feng Shenger and Hai Lancha, um, and then add Mingrui.

Little Swallow and Ziling were having fun in Qianlong's carriage ahead, and they didn't give way behind. Along the way, these young people kept sending things into the carriage.

In the beginning, Mingrui was the only one who sent a bouquet of wild flowers, but Yongqi couldn't see it, so she also sent a bouquet. In the end, the two almost got into a rivalry.Inspired by them, other young people also sent flowers to their favorite girls.

So when it was time for the next stop for a temporary break, the carriages of the two girls were filled with flowers—even Yongbi came to join in the fun and picked a lot for Ziwei.

In Lan Xin's carriage, apart from flowers, there are also a pile of colorful and beautiful stones and a lively wild rabbit - the stones were given to the fourth princess by Fu Longan, and the rabbit was given to Lan Xin by Hai Lancha.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Qianlong was overjoyed—it turned out that Ziwei took Lin Bi and the others to decorate the two carriages with wild flowers, which looked like a veritable "bridal sedan chair"!Lan Xin was still holding a gray wild rabbit in her arms, and the fourth princess even carried a pile of stones - Lin Bi's fifth sister-in-law said that she would give her a wishing bottle when she returned to the palace, and put these I put a stone, and the designation is beautiful.

Everyone's attention was on the two "bridal sedan chairs", and no one noticed the subtle expression on Yongqi's face—it turned out to be here.

This is a town, the town is not big, it must be inconvenient to go there in a carriage, so everyone got off their horses and walked, and the coachman found some paths to send the carriage to the outside of the town, and they took the carriage after leaving the town.

Just as soon as I entered the town, I heard a burst of noise of beating gongs and drums.

Before Qianlong ordered Fu Heng to inquire about what was going on, Little Yanzi had already grabbed a passer-by casually: "Uncle, what happened up front to make it so lively?"

"You guys just came here, right?" The passer-by was a little impatient at first, but seeing the group of people not talking about temperament and appearance, the clothes were bright and gorgeous, and it looked like silk that ordinary people couldn't afford to wear. The people must all come from big families, so they politely replied: "Today is the day when the daughter of Du Yuanwai's family in the city throws hydrangea balls to invite relatives, and everyone went to watch the excitement."

"Martial arts competition to recruit relatives?" Little Yanzi shouted happily, her voice was so loud that she completely suppressed Lin Bi's voice, and then pestered Qianlong, "I've never seen a hydrangea thrown to recruit relatives, master, let's go and see too?"

Seeing the bright smile of Little Swallow, Qianlong was in a good mood. Just as he closed his fan and was about to agree, Prince He suddenly appeared and pointed to the female relatives in the distance: "Master, we big men are going as soon as we go, but the girl Why don't you show your face like this? If you accidentally get bumped, it won't be beautiful. Besides, even if you take a ten thousand step back and say it's okay, the girls are all delicate and expensive, just squeeze You can't even touch them. There are still a few young masters. There are so many people in a mess, don't accidentally squeeze them out. Why don't you let people take the girls to the teahouse and tavern near the hydrangea throwing? It's convenient. Girls watch and throw hydrangeas, and they can guarantee safety."

When Qianlong heard that it was really reasonable, he happily agreed.

Little Yanzi wanted to refute something at first, but was held back by Zi Ling, and then looked at Qianlong's face, and then restrained herself.

Soon, a guard came to report that there really was a tea house in front of the embroidery building where the hydrangea was thrown.Qianlong dispatched a team of guards to escort Princess Yigan Gege and the little elder brother headed by Lin Bi, the "fifth sister-in-law"—by the way, they also covered the entire second floor of the teahouse.

Originally, Fu Long'an and the others volunteered to protect the princesses, but the other guards who had never said anything about them quit - if the hydrangea had no long eyes and fell on them, they would have no reason to refuse.

Fulong'an and the others had no choice, they couldn't push their colleagues into the fire pit, so they had no choice but to follow to protect the emperor.

The author has something to say: Thanks to the pseudo-lady who is also a lady's mine, okay?

This incident is actually to reflect the contradiction between the landlord class and the emerging bourgeoisie, but I don’t know much about social contradictions_(:з」∠)_As long as you know that society is already changing, you can take a look at it.
