There are two families in Shili Town.
The family's surname is Niu, and the family's surname is Ma. They are both wealthy people. Each family owns at least a hundred acres of fertile land and employs no less than a hundred people of all ages in Shili Town.
Originally, they bought people's land and hired people to work. If a little bit of it leaked out through their fingers, the people would burst into tears of gratitude.
Now Zheng Ruqian has been killed in the diagonal assassination. Not only did he buy the people's land, but he also hired the people to work at a high price. Isn't this taking away other people's jobs?
After the two families got together to discuss it, the news was released.
The Niu Ma family will never hire anyone who sells land to Zheng Ruqian.
What a great move to pull the trigger.
Although the wages given by Zheng Ruqian are impressive, he is a new kid after all. Who can guarantee how long he will work? If he doesn't make money, his feet will slip, and the people will lose the wages. The two families of cattle and horses are truly at their wits end.
As the sound of the wind blew throughout Shili Town, the people who had been ready to move all retracted their heads.
Zheng Ruqian acted like a profiteer and was preparing to select fields and workers. As a result, he sat in the small courtyard for three days without even a single person coming to inquire.
Pang Pangshan finished collecting the vegetables and sent the latest news.
“No one is willing to sell land to you or work with you.”
Zheng Ruqian's face was full of astonishment, "Why?"
"Because the cattle and horse members are not allowed." Pang Pangshan put the accounts of the recent vegetable collection and 70% of the profits shared by the owner of the dry goods store selling pickled vegetables on the table.
Not to mention that work forces people to make progress. When Lao Pang was seventeen or eighteen years old, he could not even write his own name. However, in order to deliver food to Yunshui County and Fucheng, and to be able to record all accounts completely, he learned nearly a hundred skills. word.
It's not comparable to Xu Mo, a literary star who came down to earth, but it's better than 90% of the people in Xieyang County.
Fortunately, Zheng Ruqian did not treat him badly and raised his original salary of two taels to thirty taels. His brothers' salary has also risen to twenty taels. The five brothers earn thirteen taels a year with almost no consumption. Now they can be considered as having a small amount of savings. People.
"Boss." Pang Pangshan kindly advised, "We can't afford to fight against the cattle and horse families. They are not members of the Communist Party of China. Let's do some small business to make money. If you don't want to knock a good egg with a stone, you can't buy it in other towns."
Zheng Ruqian hasn't spoken yet.
Jiang Sheng, who had just jumped out of the house, clenched his fists and said crisply, "Are there no Yuanwai in other places?"
Pang Pang Mountain is silent.
There are local snakes everywhere, and there are people who have developed long ago.
Anyone who wants to develop and make money must fight against the old forces.
If you can fight, you will succeed and have a place.
If you can't fight, just pack up and leave.
In the past, Zheng Ruqian's shopping and selling of vegetables had no competitors at all, and it was considered very smooth.
Now if I want to buy land to grow vegetables, I am facing a run on my land.
But so what.
After experiencing various difficulties and the failure of the workshop, Zheng Ruqian is no longer the timid young man he was at the beginning.
"Don't worry." He leaned back on the wicker chair, picked up a cup of tea with one hand, and took a slow sip. His tone was calm and gentle, "There is always a solution."
Pang Pangshan was startled, looking at Zheng Ruqian up and down, and suddenly realized that the growth of his club in the past two years was astonishing.
From a homeless young child to a stable and calm young boy now, he has grown not only in body but also in mind.
After Zheng Ruqian finished checking the accounts, Pang Pangshan left in awe.
Jiang Sheng trotted over and closed the door. As soon as he turned around, the steady and calm second brother turned into a monkey, scratching his head and shaking his head, "What should I do? I plan to buy thirty acres of land. This is only six acres. There are still twenty-four acres left, what can we do?”
The corner of Jiang Sheng's mouth twitched, "How about we wait until the brothers get home to discuss it."
good idea.
Zheng Ruqian instantly regained his composure, sat back on the wicker chair, picked up the tea, and sipped lightly.
night.
The whole family gathered in the courtyard.
Xu Mo flipped through the recent county files and frowned slightly, as if he had encountered something difficult.
Fang Heng's face was serious, always staring into nothingness, as if he was worried about something.
Wen Zhiyun was selecting medicinal materials and preparing a body-replenishing prescription for Wang Fufeng, mumbling about the shortcomings.
Chang Yan was lying on the table, his expression was dull, and he was hopeless.
Jiang Sheng was muttering about the bacon in the workshop, probably because he found that doing business was not easy.
It seems that everyone is not feeling well lately.
Zheng Ruqian felt much better in his heart. He cleared his throat and was about to tell the story about what had recently been targeted by the Niu Ma family.
Xu Mo suddenly pressed the file on the table, frowned and murmured, "Disadvantages, disadvantages have appeared."
Everyone else was listless and couldn't answer the conversation.
Only Jiang Sheng managed to keep up the energy and asked, "What's wrong, brother?"
"I previously wrote to the county governor to register all the street children in the county with their household registration. They would exempt them from taxes in the first year and then collect them in the second year. However, most of them are used to wandering and can neither farm nor work. How will they be able to pay the taxes for the second year if this continues?" Xu Mo said in a deep voice, "If they can't pay the taxes, they will be arrested and imprisoned, but how can the county government have so many jails for homeless children?"
Initially, it was a good thing for the country and the people to settle down and exempt beggars from paying taxes. However, it turned out to be a bad thing because some street children were not diligent enough.
Now, the local government still has to deal with the aftermath of this incident.
If the aftermath is not dealt with properly, Xieyang County and Yunshui County will become the laughing stock of other parts of the dynasty. In the future, this policy will not be promoted nationwide. It is really unfair to other street children who want to live a good life.
"This matter must be resolved." Xu Mo pressed one hand on the table, "But how to resolve it?"
A group of street children have household registration and land, but they cannot farm and do not want to work.
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up and he looked at Zheng Ruqian with piercing eyes.
"Xiao Jiang Sheng, look at what I'm doing. Do you want me to buy the farmland belonging to the homeless children?" Zheng Ruqian was surprised, "But they are unwilling to work, and after selling the money, they will only get nothing."
Jiang Sheng tilted his head, "I don't want to work and get paid when I'm homeless, but if someone gives me a mouthful of food, I can do any job."
This is the habit of street children. To them, money is just a number. Food and clothing are the key.
Zheng Ruqian had an epiphany.
Xu Mo also raised his eyebrows.
The two brothers looked at each other, feeling so understanding for the first time.
