Chapter 1226: The Invincible "Golden Finger"
Qin Gu also served as a "superior" in his childhood, and he knew the landlord and doctor class best.
In fact, for the emperor, it is these "noble" classes that he hates the most.
Because their relationship is intertwined, they also monopolize most of the country's resources, just like the Huang family, the land under their jurisdiction is not subject to taxes.
And only the tax really goes into the treasury, and it is the wealth that the emperor can really control.
But the emperor was very jealous of these nobles, and he had to rely on these nobles to secure his position.
Therefore, when these moths have eaten almost the country, the treasury is empty, and the emperor wants to use the money, he can only copy the house of the big man.
Qin Gu knew that he would definitely encounter greater resistance this time, but it could never be the resistance of the imperial court.
In a sense, she was doing what the "guy above" wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
If she were the one above, maybe she would support the rise of a local workshop like hers.
Without further ado, Qin Gu's methods are very simple, and even clumsy.
But because she has a golden finger, no matter how clumsy it may seem, it is very effective against these stubborn landlord class.
- Soul Control.
Qin Gu also wanted to take more roundabout methods - such as playing games with Qinglou or gambling houses, leading these people to consume, losing money, and finally mortgaging land.
This method takes too long, and there are many people involved, and there are too many uncertainties.
For example, financing, and they also deliberately want to win over Qingu. Since you can't suppress Qingu, let Qingu become one of yourself.
Qiangu can take advantage of the opportunity to get land from them, but in this way it is "cooperation" and a win-win situation. The more she develops here, the more deeply rooted these nobles will be.
Qin Gu didn't want this, her purpose was to push them. Besides, she has a golden finger, since she can get the land directly from them, why "cooperate"?!
The means chosen by Qin Gu is - soul control. Simple and straightforward.
Many times the public opinion and intrigues against Qingu were provoked by the Huang family, such as Huang Ershao's grandmother.
Qin Gu has never paid attention to her, she really thinks that why should women die for a man.
But Qin Gu ignored the other party, but the other party intensified.
Even if Qin Gu is more tolerant of the heroine in his heart, he is also angry, so this time, let's start from the Huang family.
With the last experience, this time Qin Gu accurately controlled the soul after Xiao Z's calculation, and bought more than 1,000 acres of land from Huang Zhengen.
Of course, even if Qingu uses gold fingers, it is "bought" at the market price, and it is handed over under the witness of a notary public and filed with the yamen.
I don't think I took much advantage of him.
Outsiders lamented that the Huang family is actually relatively low-key in Lu County, and under the control of Mrs. Huang, it seems that life is quite good. How did it come to the point where you have to sell your land to make ends meet?
No matter how confused they are, the fact is that they watched the new generation of male owners of the Huang family sell their land!
After the Huang family reacted, they were remorseful and frightened, in fact, Huang Zhengen only had more than 700 mu in his hands, and he also "borrowed" a few hundred mu of land deeds from Mrs. Huang to rectify the management of tenant farmers.
This time, a total of more than 1,200 acres of land were "lost", most of which were fertile land, so it was impossible to exchange it in his hand but wanted to buy it back, so he mobilized tenant farmers to make trouble.
Qin Gu took the document stamped with the seal of the yamen, announced that the rent of all tenant farmers would be reduced by five cents, and then focused on the "backbones" of the trouble, and the matter subsided.
In the past, those tenant farmers revolved around the baton of the landlords because the land belonged to the landlords, and the landlords held their "power of life and death". The landlord said that they should not sell their things to whomever they wanted, and they would besiege whomever they wanted. Now their real owner has changed, it is Qingu. Therefore, the only ones who really make trouble are those real slaves who are "born in the family", and if they are dealt with, the incident will naturally subside.
In addition to reducing rents, Qingu also came up with a policy that if the land is leased for more than five years, and the output is high-quality, and the arrangement is obeyed, the land will be owned by the tenant farmers themselves after five years.
This bombshell was dropped, and the entire Lu County trembled.
This is a blatant declaration of war with the aristocracy!
As the representative of the imperial court, the government was shocked on the surface, but privately it was happy - because the land was no longer in the hands of the nobles, which meant that taxes could be collected. That's a great thing.
Qingu arranged these lands, some of which were planted with grain, and the other part was planted with cotton or medicinal cash crops.
Then, under the pretext of learning from a certain place, they will teach better methods and techniques to everyone to improve planting efficiency and crop yields......
Anyway, Qin Gu feels like she is a father and a mother, she wants to help everyone, and she wants to make everyone feel that she is just a "passing word by the way", which is really tiring and fulfilling.
Now Qingu is a real family, and in addition to ordinary workers, it also needs a lot of managerial auxiliary talents.
Women are preferred, and of course talented and good men also enter the Ziying Group.
In the third year, Qingu called on everyone to open the wasteland around the pit, plant mulberry trees, and cultivate good mulberry trees with the help of Xiao Z, and then complied with the call for everyone to raise silkworms.
After all, her factory can only accommodate so many workers, and most of them, and Qiangu also wants to help them live a better life.
A silk workshop was established in Qingu.
The original process has many deficiencies, and she has improved them one by one, and the efficiency and quality are not comparable to those silk workshops that have accumulated over the years.
The key is that her management process is simpler and more scientific, the cost is lower, the price is lower, and the result of hitting the market is to give ordinary people the opportunity to wear these satin clothes that they could not afford in their previous lives.
Qingu's influence in Lu County has substantially surpassed that of the aristocracy, including the Huang family, and its prestige among the people at the bottom is even higher.
Over the past few years, Qingu has always insisted on beckoning female employees.
She didn't shout at women's independence or anything on the surface, but just used facts to prove to everyone that women also have the ability to make money.
Therefore, the most intuitive feeling is that the women in Lu County are obviously more confident in speaking.
This is a good sign.
However, it is precisely in this way that we touch on the fundamental issues of this society—the norm, ethics.
Originally, a woman could only be completely subordinate to a man, and she didn't even have her own name, she was XX at home, and she was XX when she got married.
A woman's mission in life revolves around men, fate is transferred from one person's hands to another's hands, happiness or misery, it all depends on luck.
