"I want some shops."
Zhao Ping said bluntly: "Not only Qingzhou city, but all counties and cities in Qingzhou must have shops."
"Following the model of Donghai County, there are escort agencies, wine shops, cloth shops, and some grocery stores."
"For example, soap, frosting, some daily necessities such as kitchen knives that I will make later, farm tools and the like."
"no problem."
Chen Xinghe agreed on the spot, "There are so many corrupt officials found this time. They all have ready-made shops. They can just transfer them to your name."
"It can be used after cleaning it up."
"I also want the land."
Zhao Ping added: "It is difficult for the Xiping Village Textile Factory alone to support so many shops."
"And as the market expands, more and more cloth, wine and other things will be needed. I need to build more factories."
"That's no problem either."
Chen Xinghe nodded, "This is not because you are asking for benefits from me, but you are helping me solve problems."
"The more factories are built, the more workers are needed, and the more businesses there will be, so more people can make money."
“If things continue like this, Qingzhou will definitely change its appearance.”
"This is my token."
While talking, Chen Xinghe took out a token from his arms.
It exudes golden light and looks very valuable.
On the front is written the character Chen and on the back is the character Huang.
"This is a royal token. With this token, you can not only recruit ordinary people to help you work, but you can also ask for land at will."
"As long as you like it, the other party will support it unconditionally."
"Master Zhou Mu, you can't do this."
Zhao Ping frowned, "You have to pay money for work, and you have to pay money for expropriating land from the people."
"Um?"
Chen Xinghe asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Aren't the common people citizens of the Dawei Dynasty?"
"Shouldn't it be an honor for them to work for the royal family? Why do they need money?"
"The land is originally owned by the dynasty. Giving it to them to cultivate is already considered a royal gift. Now that it is being taken back, why should we give them money?"
"Do you have so much money that you have no use for it?"
Forehead!
Zhao Ping felt ashamed.
Sure enough, there is still a long way to go to implement the policies of the previous life in the Dawei Dynasty.
At the very least, there is no ideological unity.
In their view, imperial power is supreme and inviolable.
And the common people are all ants.
Life and death are not in sight at all.
Even if Chen Xinghe is a good official who loves the people, when the dignity of the royal family is involved, he will still consider the royal family's face first.
Naturally, the lives and lives of ordinary people were ignored.
It seemed necessary to teach him another lesson.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ping said: "The monarch is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
"It seems that the royal family has made the people of the Dawei Dynasty successful, but in fact it is the people of the Dawei Dynasty that have made the royal family successful."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Xinghe said with a dark face: "Zhao Ping, do you mean that the common people have more rights than the royal family?"
"What are rights?"
Zhao Ping said disdainfully: "Without the common people, what does the royal family want those rights for?"
"It is even said that without the hard work of the common people, the royal family's food and clothing would be a problem."
"I'll put it more appropriately."
"How did the Dawei Dynasty come about?"
"Did your ancestors of the Chen family conquer the world?"
"No, it's the common people."
"Whether it's the generals or the soldiers, they are all ordinary people."
"Even if you, the Chen family, go back several generations, aren't you from common people?"
"Without these ordinary people working hard to survive, where would the royal family be?"
"this……"
Chen Xinghe couldn't answer.
Are the Chen family from ordinary people?
No, the ancestors of the Chen family were inferior to the common people. They were not considered good citizens, but bandits.
Unable to stand the oppression of the previous dynasty, he rose up and went to the palace, beheaded the previous emperor, and established the Chen family.
Although it was rewritten by later generations, as the emperor's uncle, he still understood it somewhat.
The Chen family's ability to sit on the throne depends on the common people.
The common people can give the Chen family a kingdom, and they can also give a kingdom to other families.
If His Majesty is unable to stabilize his position, it is very likely that he will change ownership.
Don't you see, Yuzhou is in complete chaos, and the bandits are running amok and rampant.
If someone rises up, I'm afraid there will be many others who will comply.
They can all establish themselves as kings in Yuzhou.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinghe broke into a cold sweat behind his back.
He bowed deeply to Zhao Ping again and asked respectfully, "Sir, in the current situation, what should the Chen family do to keep the country?"
Are you thinking deeply?
The country that has been considered is no longer stable.
Children can be taught.
Zhao Ping said seriously: "The country is the people, and the people are the country."
"You, the Chen family, want power, stability, and inheritance for generations to come."
"We have to satisfy the people."
"In this way, ordinary people will fight to the death to protect the entire world."
"What do the people want?"
"It's nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. It's enough to have enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a new house to live in."
"If we can achieve the end of the old age, the strong and useful, the young and the prosperous, the widowed, the lonely and the disabled, all can be supported, then the world will be settled."
"How can this be?"
Chen Xinghe said tremblingly: "There are so many people in the Dawei Dynasty who need to be fed and clothed. Even if we empty out the entire royal family, we still can't do it."
"What's more, it just doesn't work if you want to live a long life."
"Why doesn't it work?"
Zhao Ping asked back: "Look at Xiping Village, hasn't it already been done?"
“Here, there is little to learn, strength to be useful, old age to rely on, and everyone’s face is filled with a happy smile.”
"I dare not say anything else. If anyone dares to come to Xiping Village to cause trouble for me at this time."
"I don't need to take action at all, the people will spontaneously form a team to resist."
"That's true."
Liu Mengru took over and said: "Some time ago, my husband suppressed bandits in Yibei County and trapped the bandits in Yishui Village."
"The bandits are not stupid either. They thought of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, so they sent people quietly down the mountain to attack Xiping Village."
"I want to take advantage of us and blackmail Zhao Ping into retreating."
"At that time, there were only 20 bodyguards left in Xiping Village, but there were 200 bandits besieging us. I thought I couldn't hold on."
"I have even made arrangements for my funeral. I have asked my daughter to take refuge in Black Wind Village, and asked others to prepare torches. Once we fall, we will light the knitting machines, wine warehouses, etc."
"As a result, almost all the villagers in Xiping Village and Xia Village who could take action were dispatched."
"They were armed with hoes, kitchen knives and even wooden sticks."
"It was so dark that there were thousands of people there. It scared the bandits into fear and they were easily captured by us."
"I feel that Xiping Village is like a small royal family. The husband is your majesty and the villagers are his subjects."
"My husband loves his people like his sons, and he makes them well fed and clothed, so that the young and strong can be put to good use, and all the young people can go to school. Therefore, these people respect and protect my husband very much."
"Even if they fight to the death, they will never allow others to destroy the peace here."
"If we magnify it to the entire Dawei Dynasty and make all the people like those here in Xiping Village, let alone internal stability, even recovering the lost territory will be a matter of time."
"You can even come from all directions."
Chen Xinghe was very excited when he heard this.
Even when the Dawei dynasty was at its most powerful, people from all over the world could not do it.
You can get a glimpse of the big picture. It is really possible to achieve something like Xiping Village.
"Okay, everything is as per what Mr. said."
Chen Xinghe pondered for a while and then made a decision, "Let's use Qingzhou as a test point first. If we can really become rich and powerful, we can then promote it to the entire Dawei Dynasty."
"Very good."
Zhao Ping smiled with satisfaction.
Finally achieving his goal, it was time for him to show off his talents.
"Lord Zhou Mu, I have another request here."
"Sir, please speak."
Chen Xinghe did not dare to make any further excuses and said respectfully, "I will grant whatever you ask for, sir."
"I want to find some manpower."
Zhao Ping said: “If you want to expand your business scope, talent is essential.”
"Isn't this simple?"
Chen Xinghe didn't take it seriously at all and said: "Who do you like? As long as you open your mouth, I will send him here for you to drive."
"What the official wants is not the talents of Qingzhou, but the talents of the entire Dawei Dynasty."
Zhao Ping corrected.
"this……"
Chen Xinghe was in trouble, "I'm just the governor of Qingzhou. If I leave Qingzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to make the decision."
"You don't need Master Zhou Mu to make the decision. I just want to use Master Zhou Mu's name to send out a recruitment information."
"recruitment?"
Chen Xinghe was puzzled.
"I find talents and give them high monthly payments."
Zhao Ping said: "This is recruitment."
"Negotiate until both parties are satisfied and then sign the contract."
"But I am just a common man from Xiping Village. I may have a little reputation in Yun'an County, but in Qingzhou, who knows who I, Zhao Ping, am outside of Qingzhou?"
“Even if I offer a higher monthly payment, I’m afraid no one will believe it.”
"So Lord Zhou Mu, can you take the lead and send out this recruitment information in your name?"
"It just so happens that less than half of the officials in Qingzhou have been eliminated. When hiring people, those talented people will not have too many doubts."
"When they arrive in Qingzhou, it will be our territory."
"Even if they are bundled, they must be bundled to Xiping Village."
Of course, the last two sentences are Zhao Ping's own supplements in his heart.
Who makes him so short of manpower?
