The treatment given to the workers in Qingu is not bad in this hour, and those who are close will go back to their homes to rest, and those who are far away will be included in the accommodation for three meals.

The pharmaceutical and textile workshops together have almost 200 employees, most of whom are village women, tenant farmers, and little girls in the neighborhood.

The accommodation is one room for every four people, with toilets, wardrobes, etc.

If you eat it, you will add porridge to steamed buns in the morning, two dishes at noon, you must bring meat, and one vegetarian dish in the evening...... Such a life is no more than that of wealthier families.

In any case, the reputation of the workshop in Qingu has gone up, the cohesion is there, and the funds are there, and now there is only the level of production improvement.

Qingu itself doesn't know anything about cotton spinning, but it doesn't matter, Xiao Z has a huge database and recommends some very practical improvement methods according to the production level of this hour.

Qingu then passed on the method of "inadvertently" giving some advice to skilled craftsmen, and then invested a lot of money and time to improve the machine and process.

Improvement takes time and practice, so for more than a year, Yaofang Zhang has made money to maintain the operation of the entire Ziying Group, and the textile workshop has been losing money.

In fact, Qingu can also directly pass on the production technology retrieved by Xiao Z that echoes this hour, but this does not match the identity of the client, and the advancement of technology also requires everyone to take one step at a time.

If you practice step by step, you will have a greater sense of accomplishment and belonging.

So if you lose money, you can afford it.

Although a lot of investment was made, the final result was also very touching, and after a few months of investment, the production speed and quality have improved a lot.

Even if the cotton cloth was sold at a lower price, there was a part of the surplus, and it soon occupied the market.

A year later, the cotton mill not only earned back the money it had invested, but also had more surplus.

In two years, Qingu successively founded Ziying Pharmacy and Ziying Textile Workshop, gaining fame and fortune.

If the previous Ziying Medicine Shop touched a small part of the interests and broke the social monopoly of men, but at the same time, they were also the "most beneficial" part of the people, so the resistance to Qingu was not great.

Then the Ziying Textile Workshop established by Qingu really touched the root of patriarchal thought in this society.

She is a woman, and to those who "know the roots", she is not only a woman, but also a slave, a slave abandoned by her master.

In just two years, he not only sat on an equal footing with men, but even had the momentum of stepping on the aristocracy.

This is by no means what they want to see.

At this time, the competition of all parties pushed the Ziying Group in Qingu to the forefront.

These are not too simple for a tasker with a golden finger to deal with conspiracy.

As long as Qin Gu thinks, the system can calculate who is secretly doing ghosts and who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and the skill can allow her to completely eliminate those who are behind the scenes, and those who threaten her life......

Moreover, because of the prosperous business of pharmaceutical workshops and textile workshops, she has become a veritable taxpayer in Lu County.

That's right, it's a big taxpayer. Even if the imperial court saw that it had paid so many taxes, it would not have wiped out such an ATM. Of course, there are those who can't think of it, and it is impossible for Qingu to let them kill themselves.

As Qin Gu became more and more invested in this hourly space, she gradually realized that in fact, the government can only collect taxes from a small part of them.

Meritorious persons, beggars, monks, and those who serve in the military are not subject to taxes.

This is easy to understand, the imperial court wants to reward everyone for studying and military service, so there is no need to pay taxes. Of course, beggars don't have to pay anything, and as for the monks, they originally thought that they were like their own native world, and they relied on the believers to worship, and they didn't have much surplus, so they didn't have to pay taxes. Later, Qin Gu learned from the reality cognition and the popularization of science in Xiao Z that the article in it was too big.

There were also people who occupied most of the land but did not pay taxes: bureaucrats, landlords, nobles.

These people had a vast area of fertile land, which they certainly could not cultivate themselves, so they pawned it to the tenant farmers, who did not have to pay taxes to the imperial court, but gave the taxes to these "landlords".

Take the Huang family as an example, Dafang has a four-grade official of the imperial court, and he not only enjoys all kinds of preferential treatment.

The Huang family has more than 1,000 acres of land in Lu County. Four of the granges are directly managed, and they are generally managed by the sons of the family, and most of the various crops produced in them are for the Huang family's livelihood.

There was much more unmanageable land for the tenant farmers to plant, and they only had to sit and collect rent.

Therefore, a large number of slaves and tenants depended on these "big families" to survive, and sometimes they even paid more rent than the imperial court. Even so, there is nothing to be done for the majority of the poor, they have no land of their own, and these noble lands are limited by the system, and no one dares to touch them unless they buy them themselves. Of course, even if they managed to save some silver, they would not necessarily be able to buy land, or land of good quality.

Therefore, if the master lowers the tax for them a little, of course they are grateful to the master and look forward to the master.

...... All in all, this is the real reason why the huge country, obviously the tax is not low, but the imperial court can't collect a few dollars.

Qin Gu could deal with the conspiracy, but after all, she had touched the cake of the entrenched bureaucratic landlord class, and all the tenants under her jurisdiction had rallied to boycott her workshop—to keep all the tenant farmers under her jurisdiction from selling her cotton. even mobilized the people below to provoke the workers in the Qingu workshop and make them make trouble.

The latter is very easy to do, as long as you have a little brain, you will know what to do.

The crux of the matter is in the raw materials.

The aristocracy monopolized the land and also monopolized the production of raw materials, and without raw materials, they still produced a p, they bought and sold freely, and people didn't sell cotton to her, so she really couldn't do anything with these people.

After all, Lu County is only a small county in the fourth or fifth tier, and most of the land is in the hands of those nobles, and they know that small actions will not bring down the Qiangu, so they mobilize the tenant farmers on their land to refuse to sell things to the Qingu.

Although the conditions given by Qingu are better than those of the market, as mentioned earlier, the tenant farmers are dependent on these nobles, and once they offend each other, the other party does not have to do anything to fix them. A single sentence can put their whole family in a desperate situation.

From the time Qin Gu chose to fight for a piece of sky that truly belonged to the women of this hour, he expected that there would be today's situation.

If Qingu wants to break the monopoly of land and raw materials by the aristocratic class, it is necessary to let them release the land.

How can we get them to get out of the land?

A plan came to Qinya's mind.

This thought has been swirling for a long time, and today it is finally on the agenda - to bring them down!
