Chapter 1223 The Invincible "Gold Finger"

Chapter 1223 The Invincible "Gold Finger"

Qingu was also a "high-ranking person" in the small space, and he knew the class of landlords and scholar-bureaucrats best.

In fact, for the emperor, the most annoying thing is these "noble" classes.

Not to mention the intricate relationship between them, they also monopolize most of the domestic resources. Just like the Huang family, the land under their jurisdiction does not need to pay taxes.

And only tax revenue can really enter the national treasury, which is the wealth that the emperor can really control.

But the emperor was very afraid of these nobles, and had to rely on these nobles to secure his position.

Therefore, when these moths have almost eaten up the country, the treasury is empty, and the emperor wants to spend money, he can only copy the houses of the big officials.

Qingu knew that he would definitely encounter greater resistance this time, but it was definitely not the resistance from the imperial court.

In a sense, she was doing what the "man above" wanted to do but was afraid to do.

If I were the person above, maybe I would support the rise of local workshops like her more.

Gossip less, Qingu's method is very simple, even clumsy to say the least.

But because she has golden fingers, no matter how clumsy she looks, she is very effective against these stubborn landlord classes.

——Control the soul.

Qingu also wants to take a more roundabout way - such as playing games with brothels or gambling houses, attracting these people to spend, prodigal, and finally mortgage the land and so on.

This method takes too long, and involves many people, and there are too many uncertainties.

For example, financing, and they also intentionally want to win over Qingu. Since Qingu can't be suppressed, let Qingu become one of them.

Qingu can take advantage of cooperation opportunities to get land from them, but this is "cooperation" and a win-win situation. The more she develops here, the more entrenched these nobles will be.

Qingu didn't want to do this, her purpose was to push them. Besides, she has a lot of golden fingers, since she can get the land directly from them, why should she "cooperate"? !

The method Qingu chose was to control the soul. Simple and straightforward.

Many times the public opinion and conspiracies against Qingu were initiated by the Huang family, such as the second young lady Huang.

Qingu has been ignoring her, she really thinks why women should fight each other to death for a man.

But Qingu ignored the other party, but the other party intensified.

Even if Qingu was more tolerant towards the heroine in his heart, he still became angry, so this time, let's start with the Huang family.

With the previous experience, this time Qingu accurately controlled the soul after Xiao Z's calculation, and bought more than a thousand acres of land from Huang Zhengen.

Of course, even if Qingu used the gold finger, it was "purchased" at the market price, and the handover was carried out under the witness of a notary, and it was recorded in the government office.

It doesn't matter how much he took advantage of.

What outsiders lament is that the Huang family is actually relatively low-key in Lu County. Under the management of Mrs. Huang, it seems that life is pretty good. How come it's time to sell the land to make a living?

No matter how confused they were, the fact is that they watched the new generation of Huang's male masters sell the land!

After the Huang family reacted, they were filled with remorse and panic. In fact, Huang Zhengen only had more than 700 acres in his hands, and he only "borrowed" a few hundred acres of land deeds from Mrs. Huang to rectify tenant management.

This time, a total of more than 1,200 mu of land was "lost", most of which were fertile land, so it was impossible to buy the land back in exchange, so tenant farmers were mobilized to make trouble.

Qingu took the document with the seal of the yamen and announced that the rent of all tenant farmers would be reduced by five cents, and then focused on the few "backbones" who were making trouble, and the matter subsided.

We are not fools. In the past, those tenant farmers revolved around the baton of the landlord because the land belonged to the landlord, and the landlord had the "power of life and death" over them. The landlord told them not to sell to anyone, and they would not sell to anyone, and they would besiege whoever they said they wanted to besiege. Now their real owner has changed, it is Qingu. So the real troublemakers are only the servants of the real "family-born children". If they are dealt with, the incident will naturally subside.

In addition to lowering the rent, Qingu also came up with a policy that leases for more than five years, with high-quality output, and obeys the arrangement, and the land will be owned by the tenant farmers after five years.

When this blockbuster was dropped, the entire Lu County trembled.

This is blatantly declaring war on the aristocracy!

As the representative of the imperial court, the official side was shocked on the surface, but secretly very happy - because the land is no longer in the hands of the nobles, which means that they can collect taxes. This is simply a great thing.

Qingu has arranged these lands, some of which are planted with grain, and the other part are planted with cotton or medical crops.

Then, they painstakingly used the planting experience borrowed from a certain place as an excuse to pass on better methods and technologies to everyone to improve planting efficiency and crop yield...

Anyway, Qingu feels that she is both a father and a mother. To help everyone, but also to make everyone feel that she is just "passing on the word", it is really tiring and fulfilling.

Now Qingu is truly a big business, and besides ordinary workers, it also needs a lot of management support talents.

Women are given priority, and of course talented and good-natured men also join Ziying Group.

The textile factory expanded its scale. In the third year, Qingu called on everyone to open up the surrounding wasteland and plant mulberry trees. With the help of Xiao Z, they also cultivated fine mulberry trees, and then obeyed the call for everyone to raise silkworms.

After all, her factory can only accommodate so few workers, and most of them, Qingu also wants to help them live a better life.

Qingu established a silk workshop.

The original process had many deficiencies, and she improved them one by one. The efficiency and quality are comparable to those of silk workshops with years of accumulation.

The key is that her management process is simpler and more scientific, with lower costs and lower prices. The result of hitting the market is that ordinary people have the opportunity to wear these satin clothes that they could not afford in their entire lives.

Qingu's influence in Lu County has substantially surpassed that of the aristocratic class including the Huang family, and has a higher reputation among the people at the bottom.

Over the past few years, Qingu has always insisted on recruiting female employees.

She didn't yell at women to be independent on the surface, but just proved to everyone with facts that women also have the ability to make money.

Therefore, the most intuitive feeling is that the women in Lu County have obviously more confidence in their speech.

This is a good sign.

However, it is just like this that touches on the fundamental issues of this society - general principles and ethics.

Originally, a woman could only be completely attached to a man, and she didn't even have her own name. She was XX at home, and XX when she married.

The mission of a woman's life is to revolve around a man. Fate is transferred from one person's hands to another's. Happiness or misery depends entirely on luck.
