When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

"That's it. Putting aside the process and only looking at the results, the appearance of the Shen family is really like timely rain to Linshan County." Mozhi County paced back and forth in the study with an inexplicable expression on his face, "You will follow me to the countryside for a while How does it feel to go around in a big circle?"

"The faces of the villagers are a little more angry, and they seem to walk with vigor, which is much better than the previous half-dead state of muddling along." The more he thought about it, the more surprised Ding Zhongqiu's face became.No matter what he is, he is also an aide, and his brain turns faster than ordinary people. After a while, he figured out the joints and couldn't help exclaiming, "My lord, could this be the result of the many new workshops under the name of the chamber of commerce?"

Mo Zhixian nodded. The workshop shipped in large quantities, so naturally it had to recruit a lot of hired workers.With Yuan Chengan and other local gentry under pressure, except for some key positions using the chamber of commerce's own people, there is no need to worry about employees leaking secrets.A large amount of idle labor has been utilized. In the surrounding villages of Xinghuo Village, almost every household has someone to work in the workshop. With a fixed income, the life of the people is much better, and they have hope for the future. Will they be alive again?

What no one could do in the past, the Shen family easily achieved it as soon as they made a move, and Mo Zhixian felt quite uncomfortable.This should be his responsibility, but the local forces are deeply rooted, and he has already exhausted all his efforts to occupy a place, no matter how much he has, he will not have the effort.

Since even he, the county magistrate, can't handle it, it should be more difficult for others to do it, but this is not the case.The Shen family had never fought against the landowners and squires of Linshan County directly, so why did their actions go so smoothly, but he was frustrated everywhere?Recently, Mozhi County has been thinking about this issue, and it was not until recently that he had some clues.

The success of the Shen family is nothing more than two points. One is that the Shen family is very strong, and the teams of guards are not decorations, and the other is benefits.The Shen family brought the local gentry and earned a lot of money in a very short period of time, and brought back a lot of rare local goods.Look, what are the food, clothing and drinks of the masters, ladies and young masters and ladies in Linshan County, which can be compared with those in the past?

It's a pity that it's useless for Mozhi County to know, and he can't do it by force. This requires a lot of money to support him, and he doesn't know how to do business.It's better for him to be his county magistrate honestly. He can't and can't interfere in other things. Don't make it difficult for people inside and outside. Even Linshan County doesn't have a foothold for him, that's really bad.He just needs to keep an eye on the Shen family, don't let them do anything too outrageous, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of the local gentry, so as not to let them disrupt the current situation, then he can sit back and relax.

Behind the Shen family was the shadow of the border guards. Everyone could see this. Not surprisingly, the Linshan County Chamber of Commerce has always followed the lead of the Shen family.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

"Are you going to the city to buy new goods?" The strong man who was leveling the land straightened up, glanced at the carriage behind the questioner, and did not answer the question.

"Yes, I heard that new types of goods are produced here, so I came here to have a look, and buy some if it suits me." The person who approached him smiled warmly, and he seemed to have a good temper, no wonder the caravan sent him out to ask questions.

"A village is going to be built here, and it's dusty, so don't delay this big brother's work. You go straight along the official road. After entering the city, ask the city gate soldiers for directions. They will tell you how to get there."

"Thank you big brother, be careful, and hope to accept it."

When the caravan was out of everyone's sight, several familiar hired workers nearby couldn't help but gathered around and asked in a low voice, "What did you just get?"

"It's nothing, just two packs of pastries, and I'll share them with you later."

"Why are you so lucky? This is the third time, right? I didn't even get the benefit once."

"Ha, how do you compare yourself to me, you skinny monkey? I'm one of the best in the village. When I go out for a walk, I can get peeping eyes from big girls and little girls. You, you have to go back to your aunt's belly to make it again. .”

"Haha!" There was instant laughter around the construction site.

The young man called Skinny Monkey was not annoyed, he happily let others make fun of him.

Enough laughing, many people have some thoughts in their hearts.No matter how little they know, they also know what it means to have a caravan enter Linshan County in ten and a half months after the village was built.

With the continuous arrival of caravans, more and more people benefited, and they are one of them.Building a village is a bit tiring, but food and housing are included, as well as wages. Not to mention, at least they can have a good year this year.If this continues to be the case, the days will only get better and better.At this moment, everyone unanimously hopes that the Chamber of Commerce will continue to prosper.

The newly built village was named "Shoushan Village" after discussions among the people. Thinking that this is too straightforward, it is easy to cause others to think deeply, so after going back and forth, they decided on the name "Shoushan Village".

After confirming it, I said it several times. The name of this village is quite catchy and has auspicious meanings. Everyone is very satisfied with Shoushan Village and Changshoushan Village.

Fang Tianlin did not forget the purpose of building this village. Just a reminder, the first thing to start in Shoushan Village is the southern city wall.Once the city gate is erected, the security of Linshan County will be improved immediately. With this foundation, there is no rush to build the northern city wall and the houses in the village.

In order to build Shoushan Village as soon as possible, all the families are very eye-catching, and no one dares to hold back, so they have dispatched some people to help.Didn't look at the few merchants who didn't want to cooperate with the Shen family at the beginning, and now they vomit blood three liters of regret, are they doing everything possible to join the chamber of commerce?Why would they not do this kind of thing that can gain goodwill in front of the Shen family without costing a lot of money?Besides, those who are dispatched are all hired by their own servants, and even some of them will not affect the operation of their own farms and workshops.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the construction speed of Shoushan Village is faster than that of Xinghuo Village.After all, this mobilized the idle labor of almost the entire Linshan County, and most of them were paid, so everyone worked extremely hard.In fact, even without these, they would not dare to steal and play tricks. Don't forget that there are government supervisors next to them, and they can't do it even if they want to be lazy.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to meddle in the county government affairs, at least for now, but there were certain things he couldn't get used to, so he consulted with Mozhi County in advance.After receiving the order, the yamen's servants had a much better attitude. They no longer whipped hired workers and a small number of people who had their turn to serve corvee this year.

Fang Tianlin was really not worried about doing this, so they refused to work hard.Anyway, the wages are not calculated by the day, but by the amount of work. There is a reward for finishing the work ahead of time, and deducting money for the delay. I am not afraid that they will not do their best.

Seeing that the Shen family's approach worked well, the merchants in Linshan County followed suit.Although income according to work is also flawed, at least one thing is better than before, that is, everyone’s enthusiasm for work has greatly increased. The same work may take five days to complete in the past, but now it takes almost four days. a day's work.

In the past, during the slack season, there were many idle laborers in Linshan County. Now that a large number of new workshops have been built to recruit workers, the number of people who are unemployed at home has decreased a lot.It is not obvious at present. I am afraid that there will be a shortage of labor during the busy season, which can improve labor efficiency and at least relieve part of the pressure of shortage of manpower. Everyone is happy to see the results.

After understanding the current situation, Mozhi County began to plan ahead.

The registered population of Linshan County is tens of thousands, and the actual number must be larger than this. Everyone knows that there are many black households in order to evade taxes.At present, most of the idle villagers near the county town and Xinghuo Village have been hired, but there is no information in the remote areas, so there should be many people who can be recruited.In addition, there are some villages that are quite special. They would rather stay at home and eat bran swallowed vegetables than go out of the village to earn money for their families.It's not that they are lazy, or that they are stubborn in their thinking, but that they don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world.

These villages are often located in remote places, with no news, and the village chiefs and clan elders in charge of the villages still use the old thinking of the past to view all the present.People are far away from home, and although they are poorer at home, at least everyone can have something to eat, and they don’t have to look at people’s faces all day long. Maybe they don’t even come back, and they don’t know why people are gone.

Little did they know that the outside world had changed a long time ago. Under the intervention of the Shen family, there were very few incidents of bullying employees, deducting wages without reason, and asking for benefits.The local merchants thought, the question is, will Fang Tianlin allow it?Obviously not.With Fang Tianlin here, he can't guarantee anything else, at least in these projects funded by the Shen family, no one dares to make a move on it.

Since Shen's family intervened, all the workshops under the name of the chamber of commerce have recruited people on a voluntary basis, and no one has forced them to work by force, but it hasn't happened that good people are being bullied.

Fang Tianlin just doesn't want to push too much. He wants to develop in Linshan County for a long time. Forcing others to do things can only gain temporary benefits, but it doesn't mean that he is a good old man. How can he condone things that push his nose?

If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Some people work for them.Human lives in the Jing Dynasty are worthless, and people without special skills are generally sold at the price of a cow or a horse in the market. Even if the entire Linshan County is recruited out of idle labor, Fang Tianlin can still turn his attention to outside the county.There are too many people looking for jobs outside, as long as the news of the Linshan County Chamber of Commerce's recruitment is released, no one is afraid that no one will come to apply for the job.

Of course, the people of Linshan County must be given priority. With the surplus labor force in the county, it is impossible for Mozhi County to be cheap to foreigners.

Fang Tianlin didn't care much about this. This situation is only temporary. When the villagers in the surrounding villages live a good life, they will naturally waver. At that time, the village chief and clan elders may find it difficult to suppress it, but this process may It was relatively long, and Mozhi County was obviously unwilling to wait for it.

The better the people's lives, the stronger their spending power, and the tax revenue received by the county government will naturally rise.Mo Zhixian is not stupid. He may have thought of transferring to other places when he had the opportunity in the past, but now he is not happy even if someone comes to invite him.How nice to be here!It's easy to eat and drink well, and there are only a few affairs in the county, and there are not many things to worry about.
