Chapter 170
In the Tianwu Office, Du Zhongxiao sat in the middle, and Lou Magistrate Zhang Fengzhi, and Su Shunqin sat on both sides.
Du Zhongxiao said: "When I first came to see the land affairs in the Yingtianfu, local customers joined us. Almost all the land hired by the local owners had no contracts, and they left one after another in a few months. Without the land affairs, the land of these families could not cultivate, so they had to sell it to the land affairs in the Yingtianfu. At that time, they cried to me and I and Magistrate Lou, saying that their livelihood was gone. Regardless of the head affairs, they were all people under the rule of the court, and they could not ignore them. At that time, they decided that the empty land was bought at the market price, the second was to allow them to come to the town to buy land and build houses and open shops, and the third was to organize people to help them collect rice in the fields. Everyone said that they were good, and there was only one Shishi, who forced the village to stop the land, and almost killed someone. There was no heavy punishment at that time, but they were beaten and beaten up the stick. Unexpectedly, this family did not remember the lesson and caused trouble in the town again!"
After hearing this, Magistrate Lou felt a little sad. After most of the customers were under the Yingtianfu, there were not many people in Zaoyang County, and the vast majority of the population was under the Yingtianfu. Among the few people, there was Shi Yuanwai. How strong is this family in this family? It keeps causing trouble.
Du Zhongxiao said again: "A few days ago, Changping Company opened a shopping mall in Fancheng, and you all know. From now on, the prefectures and counties will open shopping malls. The shopping malls in each prefecture and county must be purchased and transported by specialists. Therefore, there are some families in various places that specialize in producing some goods for the shopping malls. The Shi family invested their capital to raise ducks in nearby ponds, bought recipes from Yingtianwu, and made salted eggs and pineapple eggs to sell them to the shopping malls. In order to reduce the manpower, the mall asked his family to help buy local products. This morning, people from nearby came to his house to sell goods, and they openly refused to accept them, and insulted the small businessmen in this business. What is even more intolerable is that there were former merchants from his family who wanted to make that person unable to do business with personal anger!"
Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao slapped the chair and said loudly: "This person holds such a grudge against the former farmer in his family. If the local customers are allowed to join the camp, wouldn't he be even more jealous! I and Magistrate Lou, who decided on this matter at the time, weren't he the enemy in his heart!"
Hearing this, Magistrate Lou stood up straight and bowed, "How can he tolerate villains? I asked Chang Pingsi to cut off his duck-raising business first. The county will select capable personnel to check this company carefully!"
Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "The magistrate cannot be convicted for his words. He is just talking and there is no need to make a big fuss. But if we ignore the matter, how will the yamen issue orders in the future? The historian has made a contract with the mall. Even if it is a government office, it must follow the contract. Otherwise, who will dare to do business with Changpingsi in the future? Tsui Hark, who is in charge of the mall, comes and asks him to do whatever he should do according to the contract. Let us do some other things first."
County Magistrate Lou said: "If you are so arrogant, why should you stick to this kind of crazy person? This family has done a lot of things in the past two years. If I send someone to investigate, there will be a handle. Just take it, everything else will be easy."
Du Zhongxiao said: "The magistrate is just a rich local household. If you do this, you will get the business of Changpingsi's businessmen. It is not worth it. The business matters are done by shopping malls, and everything is in accordance with the contract. This cannot be careless. In a few months, the shopping mall in Suizhou will be opened and you cannot ruin your name. The current thing is that there is a Shi Yuanwai in Zaoyang. So are there such people in other prefectures and counties? There is nothing resentment in your heart. Although some of them have made more money, some are unsatisfactory. However, because of the resentment in their hearts and oppressing previous customers, it is absolutely not allowed. Whoever dares to do such a thing will have to deal with the field affairs office!"
What kind of behavior is this? This is the behavior of the returning group. If they gain power, the farming and field affairs will be bad, and Du Zhongxiao's reputation will be bad. Du Zhongxiao can allow some minor chaos to be ruled, and such things will definitely not be allowed. If they emerge, they will have to be eradicated.
Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao told the magistrate Lou and Zhang Bingzhi: "You ask your subordinates to check it out. Naturally, when the land business goes to Zaoyang County, what are the more merchants in the countryside? How many of these merchants are the ones who used to occupy a lot of land in the countryside? Another thing is that whether it is the land business or Changping Office, how many of them are like the ones Shi Yuanwai. Report a number first and then decide how to deal with it."
Zhang Xingzhi and Magistrate Lou handed over to say that.
Du Zhongxiao also told Zhang Fengzhi: "From the words and deeds of Shi Yuanwai's family, it is not appropriate to let the mall business be given to them. Grocery shops and other things can be used to make them supplements. However, the things that provide goods to the mall cannot be left to them. Otherwise, when the business of raising ducks and collecting eggs in the future will inevitably not be given to the Shi family. When Tsui Hark comes, he checks the book contract and does whatever he should do. Even if they make the book contract broken, they will have to pay the Shi family and the mall will pay the compensation. The manager will take a look and see if the land management organization can let the people in the field do this?"
Zhang Fengzhi said: "Speaking of the matter, there are originally duck farming, salted eggs and pineapple eggs, and the recipes are still bought. The shopping mall says that the goods sold must be uniform, and the field farming business is a historian who is scattered in various villages to raise ducks, which is not suitable for him."
Du Zhongxiao said: "That's what it means. Can the field camp be organized like a historian to make eggs for the mall?"
Zhang Yingzhi said: "This is not difficult. The mall is just afraid that the eggs made are rotten, or that they are not handed by the same person, and the taste is different. You can still let the village raise ducks, and then collect them and pickle them up."
Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "No. Ducks must not be raised in a variety of ways. They must be concentrated. The eggs are reserved for shopping malls. The main staff is that small farmers raise livestock and poultry. Each family does not raise too much. If the eggs are collected, it is impossible to send them to the egg-making place when they are fresh. In this way, how can the salted eggs and pineapple eggs taste the same? Find some special people. The mall pays the money and sends them money and grain."
Zhang Yingzhi thought about it and nodded, "This is OK, just treat it as hiring someone to do it, and it is better to pay for the salary."
Du Zhongxiao said: "It is best to do this. If this is done well, you can do other things in the future. After the work of the Shi Family, I now think so. In the future, any bulk goods purchased by shopping malls and places where there is a farming business will be provided by shopping malls. If possible, each town will build several workshops to let the people under their jurisdiction take turns to do things, which is also a chance to make money. If there is no farming business, the people will establish a society. In principle, middle and upper-class households are not allowed to participate. The lower-class households will form a cooperative contract, and the mall can lend capital if necessary."
After hearing this, the county magistrate Lou couldn't help asking: "Why are you only letting the lower-class associations? The upper-class households have capital and family business, so they can use their property as insurance. They don't have to worry about not doing well, nor are they afraid that they will lose their capital."
Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Simple, what you are talking about is the previous practice of the yamen, and it is likely to lose money. As long as the business in the mall is done according to the contract, they will buy it back at the price, and they will inevitably make money. Of course, the business that makes money must be done by the lower-class households to help the poor."
Magistrate Lou nodded, still a little confused: "The business that must make money? It must make money, why give it to the people?"
Du Zhongxiao said: "Because the yamen cannot control it. How many officials are there? If you take care of everything, you can't control anything."
