Taocheng's coal mines are all staffed by their own people. Carts carry loads, and baskets are transported to Qingyuan. More are directly pulled out by Gaochun's troops, and Gaochun's yamen go with a team of servants. Media.
Regular troops have been dispatched, who dares to take advantage of these coals?
Weiyuan Tower, the one who is powerful is far-reaching.
Although Quanzhou Prefecture is extremely tolerant of business in Qingyuan, businessmen are the chickens that lay golden eggs for them, and generally they will not take action easily. The businessmen are also very knowledgeable and know the principle that the people do not fight with the officials, and they are in great awe of Weiyuan Tower.
All this is not a tacit understanding formed by nature, but a good atmosphere formed by the iron-blooded methods of local officials who have been in charge!
It's not that Taocheng is far away from Weiyuan Tower, but people here are not afraid of Weiyuan Tower. On the contrary, when the surrounding counties mentioned Quanzhou Prefecture, they never mentioned government offices and the like, but collectively referred to them as Weiyuan Tower, because this institution was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Quanzhou Prefecture has the best security in the southeast. There is nothing you can do. If you, as an official, make the area under your jurisdiction full of banditry, who would dare to do business in Qingyuan Port? Talking about taxes, you can’t even collect a cent!
Officials with achievements and farsightedness will never focus on what is in front of them. Only those kind of thieves will have trouble with the common people. They squeeze their blood and sweat from the common people every day, wishing they could suck their blood and marrow.
The money in business is easy to make, it is reliable, and it can win the hearts of the people. This is the right way!
It is precisely because of these various factors that Weiyuan Tower's credibility in Quanzhou Prefecture is not generally high. No one will get into trouble when they see the father-in-law in official uniform.
Most of the craftsmen in the prison camp are masters from Luocheng, that is, Zhao Xiaopin's group. But this is a huge project, and hard work such as leveling the ground, breaking the ground, etc. still requires a lot of labor to complete.
It turned out that Liang Chuan wanted to use some old men from society to carry the burden, but after thinking about it later, he did not dare to do so. There was a mixed crowd in society, and the binding force between Liang Chuan and Liang Chuan was not enough. If one or two were disobedient, he would be If things go wrong, all the efforts of so many people will be in vain!
Su Wei proposed to use government servants.
The population of Quanzhou Prefecture is the largest among the surrounding counties, and most of the people are concentrated in Fengzhou Town and Qingyuan County. There are also people from Taocheng, Luocheng and Changkeng, but those places are rural areas and there is far no solution. Compared to towns.
Because Quanzhou Prefecture still has a large migrant population, people doing business here have brought countless wealth and labor. If nothing else, just talk about the war in the northwest. Countless refugees poured into Quanzhou Prefecture.
Hundreds of years ago, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the first choice for refugees. However, as these places gradually became saturated with population, the refugees realized that their journey would be in vain, so cities in the south became their first choice.
For people in the county, they are not afraid of taxes imposed by the court, but what they are most afraid of is enlistment! He is a servant of the imperial court!
This is an iron law that has not changed for hundreds of years. In the spring and autumn, you must pay for food. At other times, you must use your labor force to work for the court and show your loyalty to the imperial power!
After the peasants finished their farm work and paid the royal grain, it would be a slack time for the farmers, so it didn't matter if they went to work, but these businessmen would suffer!
They can buy it if they pay for it, but they can't escape if they are called to serve!
I have to spend a lot of time doing business and I don’t know how much money I can make, but the court does not allow it and I have to do hard labor!
In the past, the Tang Dynasty had many wars, so more hard labor was needed. This was a vicious cycle. No one is doing business
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I wonder how much food the imperial court can receive just from those few acres of thin fields. If taxes cannot be raised, the local area will rebel. The more rebellion there will be, the more servants will be needed, and the country will be finished!
The service system is a big mountain that weighs on the heads of ordinary people in this era!
What is the purpose of serving? You have to carry weapons to the border to guard the border. Forget it, guard the border. You still have food and clothing. You even have to provide the weapons on your shoulders yourself! Damn it, how can there be such an unreasonable system in the world?
There are broken city walls that need to be repaired or rivers built further away, so forget it. Some black officials recruit people as their own private servants to work for them, forcing the common people to lose their lives.
The Tang Dynasty was the first to see the irrationality of this system, and launched the epoch-making renting and mediocre adjustment system. Pay the money and get rid of it!
For rent of two stones, two feet of silk, and three ounces of cotton, you can go home and play with your wife, and enjoy yourself as you please.
As a result, the rich people are happy, and this little money is not even a drop in the bucket for them!
But what a pity for those who have no money!
Just two feet of silk is enough for their family to work for half a year, and other things have to be paid. Where will they give birth? It's better to go to work obediently.
The class divisions are so clear!
The government also knows about it. Anyway, if you come to serve, it means that you are extremely poor. You are the poor person who is being bullied. If you beat him to death and bury the problem, at worst, you will have to pay some money. Power is so unscrupulous!
In the Song Dynasty, this bad system is still followed even now!
In any era, wherever there is darkness, there is light. The seeds of capitalism sprout quietly in this era, and everything is developing towards a place with sunshine.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Quanzhou and Lingnan were the first places to engage in foreign trade. Even the people had money on hand, but they were unwilling to do these menial jobs. So what should we do? Even imperial service has become an industry!
The imperial court outsourced these tasks to people from other places!
Weiyuan Tower collected the money and let people from other places who couldn't find work do the work! This is a good policy that achieves multiple goals with one stone! Outsiders can not only make money, but also drive population inflow, revitalizing the local economy of Qingyuan, and benefiting everyone!
Of course, Weiyuan Tower charges twice as much as ordinary mediocrity!
Paying a little money to buy peace and comfort, Qingyuan people think this is a damn good deal!
The reason why Su Wei wants to use outsiders is because these people are not local, they will not have too many voices, they dare not cause trouble locally, and they are more reliable!
Liang Chuan was shocked by a series of coquettish operations. If officials in every place were as enlightened as these system designers in Qingyuan, the Song Dynasty would have entered a capitalist society long ago!
A secret production and transportation line was born!
Liang Chuan dug into the walls of the Song Dynasty and did such treasonous things! This matter sounds very serious, but also very ordinary. Which feudal official has not tampered with these state-owned assets. Selling a few of them is a business that makes him rich. How many people are officials because of this kind of money, how can they do it so easily? Let it go?
But no one would have thought that coal could be dug out of a small ravine in the south!
Everything is running smoothly.
The prison camp in Taocheng is under construction. Si Fangxing plans to build this into a dark prison. Anyway, what he has to do is shady things. No mouse or fly can be allowed to fly out here!
Liang Chuan immediately denied Si Fang
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
This suggestion works!
Liang Chuan plans to use this place as a test field for judicial reform!
He has been in too many prisons, from county-level prisons to the central prison of the Ministry of Punishment. These prisons are similar. Except for people of certain status who take care of them after entering, they are basically no more important than animals. The difference!
Liang Chuan wants to use them to mine, which means he wants to use them. In this case, he has to take them seriously!
Prisons should also be made sunny!
He imitated the practice of later prisons and built the prison in the shape of a tube building, with six prisoners placed in each cell. Serious prisoners and prisoners who liked to commit crimes were dealt with separately and had separate confinement rooms.
Putting canopy beds in the cells and sleeping on the floor would be ridiculous. If these workers are exhausted or fall asleep, then who will do the mining! There is also a toilet inside for these prisoners to relieve themselves.
There will also be a doctor in the prison, who can cure all diseases, big or small. If they can't be cured, it depends on God's will. They can also be let out in the yard every day, as long as they don't leave the fence! Build another canteen in the prison camp and distribute food uniformly!
Liang Chuan had seen the food in the prison. Those things that even pigs wouldn't eat were eaten by people. It would be strange if they didn't get sick!
Liang Chuan wants these prisoners to feel better than going home! This Taocheng Prison is their second home!
Finally, Liang Chuan also came up with a trump card: as long as those who serve their sentences in Taocheng Prison complete the media digging tasks every day, they will be paid 20 cents a day!
This news shocked these prisoners so much that their jaws almost dropped to their trousers. They thought they were in the wrong place!
When they first came to Taocheng, all of them had only one idea: they were dead!
This place is deep in the mountains and old forests. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Weiyuan Tower cannot control it. They have the final say on how these dog officials want to deal with them! They even plotted to rebel, otherwise they would be dead anyway!
There is still money in jail!
Yes, even Liang Chuan felt a little embarrassed to be squeezing these scum so much even if he was jailed and paid without any benefits. Although he said they were scum, he couldn't go too far. It's not like a rabbit bites someone when it's anxious.
This money will be used to start a new life and restart the fund!
After work every day, the coal is exchanged for a certificate. The money is not given on the spot, but is given as a one-time payment when leaving Taocheng Prison. When they go back, these scum can start a new life and have a little money to start the rest of their lives.
How many people returned to the path of crime because they were desperate after being released from prison? Liang Chuan didn't want this.
A prisoner can dig hundreds of kilograms of coal a day, and twenty cents is the same as giving to a beggar. . After all, they earned the money themselves!
Everyone thought that Liang Chuan was crazy. What was he doing? Was he treating some kind of distinguished guests? He also allowed them to have good food and accommodation, treating them like an uncle!
Si Fangxing ignored him, but Gao Chun understood Liang Chuan. This was a good trick!
In this way, all aspects of coal mining can be solved, and the risks are reduced to a minimum. I really admire it!
Liang Chuan was able to squeeze these prisoners so well. .
Zhao Xiaopin had been in a cell before, but he felt that Liang Chuan's idea was very reasonable. Criminals are human beings too. If they weren't forced to do anything, who would be willing to risk their lives?
Su Wei looked at Liang Chuan's thoughts and couldn't help but raise his finger and praise him, what a good idea!
