Yingtian Yamen, Du Zhongxiao sat in the middle, and Lou Zhixian and Zhang Yuzhi and Su Shunqin sat on both sides.

Du Zhongxiao said: "When I first came to see the camp and field affairs, I allowed local customers to defect. Almost all of the local householders did not have a deed, and they left within a few months. Without the villagers, these people's fields could not be cultivated, so they had to sell them to the camp farms. At that time, they came to me and Lou Zhixian to cry and complain, saying that their livelihood was gone. Regardless of the main household, they are all people under the rule of the imperial court, and they cannot be left alone. At that time, it was decided that, first, the vacated fields would be bought at market prices, second, they would be allowed to come to the town to buy land, build houses, and open shops, and third, the camp field affairs would organize people to help them harvest the rice in the fields. Everyone praised it, but there was only one historian who forcibly stopped the dealer and almost killed him. At that time, there was no heavy punishment, but the punishment was carried out with a beating rod. Unexpectedly, this family didn't learn a lesson and caused trouble in the town! ”

Hearing this, Lou Zhixian chuckled in his heart. After most of the customers invested in the camp field, there were not many people in Zaoyang County, and the vast majority of the population was under the rule of the camp field. Among the few people, there is this family of historians. How iron is the head of this family, it keeps causing trouble.

Du Zhongxiao said again: "A few days ago, Chang Pingsi opened a shopping mall in Fancheng, you all know it. In the future, the state and county will open shopping malls. In the shopping malls of various states and counties, the procurement should be carried out in a unified manner, and the transportation should be carried out by the special department. In various places, there are some people who specialize in producing some goods for the shopping mall. The Shi family invested the capital, raised ducks in the nearby ponds, bought recipes from the camp field, and made salted eggs and Songhua eggs to sell to the shopping mall. In order to reduce the number of people, the mall asked his family to help buy local groceries. This morning, people in the neighborhood came to his house to sell goods, openly refused to accept them, and insulted the small businessmen who did this business. What's even more intolerable is that there is a former banker of his family, and he wants to make that person unable to do business with personal anger! ”

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao slapped the chair back and said loudly: "This person has such a grudge against the previous Zhuang customers in the family, and then Yingtian Wuyun local customers defected, wouldn't he hold a grudge even more!" Lou Zhixian and I, who decided this matter at that time, are not the enemies in his heart! ”

Hearing this, Lou Zhixian straightened his waist and arched his hand: "Crazy villain, how can you tolerate it!" raised, so he asked Chang Pingsi to cut off his duck business first. The county selects capable people to investigate this one carefully! ”

Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "Zhixian, he can't be convicted for his words, he just talks, there is no need to make a big move." However, if we ignore the matter, how will the yamen give orders in the future? The Shi family has made a contract with the shopping mall, and to do business, even if it is a yamen, it must be in accordance with the contract, otherwise who else will dare to do business with Chang Pingsi in the future? This matter waited for Tsui Hark, who was in charge of the mall, to let him do what he had to do according to the contract. Let's do something else here. ”

Lou Zhixian said: "Lift, like such a rebellious person, why bother." This family has done a lot of things in the past two years, and I sent someone to investigate, and there must be a handle. Just take it, and everything else will be easy. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Zhixian, a rich family in a place, doing this, it is not worth it to take Chang Pingsi's businessmen." Let the shopping mall do the business things, everything according to the book deed, this can not be sloppy. In a few months, Suizhou's shopping malls will be opened, and they can't ruin their reputation. The current thing is that Zaoyang has a historian, so are there any such people in other states and counties? There is nothing in the heart of resentment, although some of them make more money, there are also unsatisfactory ones. However, because of resentment in my heart, I bullied my former customers, which is absolutely not allowed. Whoever dares to do such a thing will be dealt with by the camp and field affairs yamen! ”

What is this behavior? This is the behavior of the homecoming group. Let them gain power, the camp will be bad, and Du Zhongxiao's reputation will be bad. Du Zhongxiao can allow some small chaos under his rule, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed, and he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots when he comes out.

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao said to Lou Zhixian and Zhang Yuzhi: "You let your subordinates check, and naturally camp the fields in Zaoyang County, and what more merchants are in the realm." How many of these merchants were outsiders who had previously occupied land in the countryside. Another thing, whether it is the camp field affairs or the Changping Division, how many of the people who use it are like the one outside the historian. Let's report a number first, and then decide how to deal with it. ”

Zhang Yuzhi and Lou Zhixian said yes.

Du Zhongxiao said to Zhang Yu again: "Principal, judging from the words and deeds of this family outside the historian, it is not appropriate to give them the business of the shopping mall. Grocery stores and the like, you can let them do it, because it is a supplement to the mall. However, the matter of supplying goods to the mall, cannot be put to them. Otherwise, when it gets big in the future, I don't know what mess will happen. The business of raising ducks and collecting eggs must not be given to the historian. When Tsui Hark came, he checked the deed and did whatever he wanted. Even if they break the book contract, they will compensate the historian and the shopping mall. The chief will take a look, can you let the camp field organization have the manpower to do this? ”

Zhang Yuzhi said: "Lift, there was originally duck breeding in the field business, salted eggs and Songhua eggs were made, and Fang Zi still bought the field business." It is the shopping mall that says that the goods sold should be uniform and consistent, and the camp is scattered in various villages to raise ducks, and it is not suitable to find the historian. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "That's what it means, can the camp be like the historian and organize some special people to make eggs for the shopping mall?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "This matter is actually not difficult. The mall is just afraid that the eggs will be rotten in them, or they will not taste different from the hands of the same person. You can still let the villages raise ducks, and they can be pickled by special people after they are collected in a centralized manner. ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "No." Ducks must not be kept in a scattered manner, but must be concentrated, and the raw eggs are exclusively for the shopping mall. Chief, that's how small farmers raise some livestock and poultry. Each family does not raise much, and it is impossible to send the eggs to the place where the eggs are made when they are fresh. In this way, how can the salted eggs and Songhua eggs taste the same? Find some special people, the mall pays the money, and gives them money and food. ”

Zhang Yuzhi thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay to do this, just hire someone to do it, and pay the salary." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's better to do so. If you do this one thing well, you can do other things later. After going through the affairs of the historians, I think so now. In the future, all the bulk goods purchased by the shopping mall, where there is a field service, will be provided by the field service. If possible, build several workshops in each town, and let the people under their rule take turns to do things, which is also to give them the opportunity to make money. In principle, middle and upper class households are not allowed to participate in it, and the lower class households form a deed, and if necessary, the capital can be loaned by the shopping mall. ”

Lou Zhixian heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Promotion, why only let the inferior associations?" Higher-class households have capital and family business, and they can use their family property as security, so they don't worry about their failure to do well, and they are not afraid that they will lose their capital. ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Simple, what you said is what the yamen used to do, and it is likely to lose money." And the business in the mall, as long as it is done according to the book deed, they will buy it back at the price and will definitely make money. Money-making business, of course, should be done by the lower class households to relieve the poor? ”

Lou Zhixian nodded, still a little confused: "A business that is bound to make money?" It is bound to make money, so why let it go to the people? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Because the yamen can't control it." How many officials are there? If you take care of everything, you can't manage anything. ”

This is because of Shi Daqing and Du Zhongxiao's method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle. Shopping malls use their own channels to form an independent industrial and commercial system and penetrate into the people. For example, raising chickens and ducks, or even spinning and weaving, a large number of villages, towns, and factories can be set up. Shopping malls have capital, and this system is isolated from the middle and upper class households, and combined with the lower class households, thus forming a situation of roughly equal power with the middle and upper class households.
