"I read the content of this report letter, and the head of the Tang family made a lot of nonsense in Ting Yuxuan, and even said it frankly."
"What's more, Chu Zhongwu killed my sixth brother."
"Tang and he are incompatible with each other, how could he take refuge with him?"
"Master Tang, are these words what you said?"
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said.
He didn't even have any spies in Fengzhou. Someone else secretly sent them into the Governor's Mansion for the substitute in the Governor's Mansion to see.
Someone reported Tang Ning, someone reported Liu Ruxin, and someone reported Wu Yuanhua.
In short, the number of whistleblowing letters is comparable to the number of people attending meetings.
Almost everyone reported it, fearing that they would become the target of Chu Zhongwu to scare the monkeys.
A group of smart people got together, but the alliance failed before it even started.
This is also normal. Although the influence of these businessmen is not small and they control the material supply of Peacock City, there are only a few truly powerful forces. Even the more powerful [Fengdeng Food Bank] is just a divine plan behind him. He is only Dou Hongen, the third son of General Dou, who belongs to ten thousand households in the army.
For ordinary people, this backstage is already very hard, so hard that it’s scary.
It was three points higher than when Chu Qianqiu first came to Beijing.
As for the current Chu Qianqiu, it is not worth mentioning.
As for the current Chu Qianqiu, even if the Empress Dowager's father, General Dou, comes to attack him in person, Chu Qianqiu is sure to send him to heaven, let alone his incompetent third son.
Therefore, the businessmen in Fengzhou were fearful. After weighing the left and right, they were afraid that they would become the chickens that were killed, so they reported secretly.
Chu Qianqiu was sitting at home. Before he could take action, the enemy fell.
[Beast, does this Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce still have royal laws? 】
[These bastards are actually reporting faster than me.]
【Simply worse than an animal!】
Tangning gritted his teeth and hated it. He thought he was a smart man and was planning to stab him in the back. However, his allies in the Chamber of Commerce just agreed last night to collectively seek an explanation from Lord Zhongwu.
As soon as they turned around and left, they presented Mr. Zhongwu with a certificate of surrender.
"Sir, I was wronged."
"These are all expedient measures taken by my subordinates, in order to——"
"I know." Chu Qianqiu directly interrupted Tang Ning's words of loyalty.
"I'm just telling you, don't be cautious."
"My subordinates must not dare." Tang Ning was trembling with fear and sweating profusely.
Chu Qianqiu was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. Different methods and faces should be adopted for different subordinates.
Heroes like Tang Ning who attempt to rebel can only use fear and power to control them.
So Chu Qianqiu said slowly:
"Only you know that I live in Fengyu Tower now."
"If the news leaks, it's your responsibility."
"I understand." Tangning didn't dare to say it, as indescribable fear enveloped his heart.
He was obviously a rare master of martial arts, but in front of Chu Qianqiu, he was no different from a child.
"Very good. From today on, you should not come to Fengyu Tower again, lest people see the problem."
"If you have any information, please use this [ear-picking Arhat] to contact you."
"And from now on, you can let the Tang family recruit full-time workers and expand the production of armaments."
"In name, it's Chu Zhongwu's order to order enough armaments for the Shenwei Army."
"The divine machine crossbow, the army-breaking crossbow and other ordnance, whatever the Tang family can expand their production capacity, please give it to me."
"In terms of money, I won't give you less."
Chu Qianqiu threw out a strange object, and Tang Ning hurriedly took it and said in succession:
"Yes, sir."
"Even if the Tang family is bankrupt, they will still meet the needs of adults." Tang Ning assured, patting her chest, making Chu Qianqiu laugh.
"There's no need to go bankrupt."
"But the wages of long-term workers must follow the current practices in Lingzhou."
"Lingzhou stipulates the minimum wage for long-term workers. The manpower hired by the Tang family cannot be lower than this price."
Chu Qianqiu's charity auction this time is to let the nobles of Fengzhou spit out their money and materials and revitalize the entire Fengzhou's economic veins.
At the same time, food is put into the market to bring down food prices and stabilize the situation in Fengzhou.
Whether they are Buddhas, demons, or Taoists, both demons need the five declining Qi transformed from the resentment of the people to restore their strength.
Chu Qianqiu wanted to resolve the resentment among the people as much as possible, and naturally wanted to improve the living standards of the people at the bottom.
His contest with King Kong Temple was not on the same dimension.
The enemy fights the enemy, and you fight your own.
As long as Fengzhou's blood vessels are controlled, Jingang Temple can play whatever they want, and Chu Qianqiu will accompany him to the end and have the right to add to the fun.
"Lord Zhongwu, is this necessary?"
Tang Ning asked in surprise. Of course he understood what Chu Qianqiu meant. He wanted to give long-term workers a higher salary, even though the salary of two taels of silver a year was extremely low, and even coarse grains might not be enough to satisfy him.
But driven by famine, the Tang family could have used a lower salary, or even no salary at all.
There are many people who are willing to sell themselves for a bite of food.
"necessary."
"After this auction, the people's livelihood in Fengzhou will have to be taken care of. Even the eminent monks of Jingang Temple will not be lenient to anyone who bullies men, dominates women, or behaves recklessly."
"The Tang family had better clean up their own house first. Otherwise, there is no need to accuse the Tang family of rebellion. The Tang family will also be implicated."
"A lot of people are going to die."
"Don't die."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly smiled at Tang Ning, making him shudder.
"Yes, sir."
"The Tang family will definitely live up to your trust."
"By the way, there is one more thing."
"You just said that the Liu family in Yuzhou and the Hehuan Sect have reached a cooperation agreement, but you didn't explain it clearly just now. What is the specific content?"
"My lord, that's it."
"The Liu family has opened many textile workshops and recruited many young female workers. It is said that there are as many as one hundred thousand in the Yuzhou area."
"Beijing, one of the eight imperial merchants who specializes in porcelain, only has this number of workers."
"The Liu family's wealth far exceeds the force they can possess, so they have to form alliances everywhere in order to protect themselves."
There are as many as 100,000 female textile workers?
The scale is a bit astonishing.
"It is said that the Hehuan Sect has its eyes on the female workers of the Liu family, so it cooperates with the Liu family to select capable women to supplement the Hehuan Sect's disciples."
"We are also women. Is it necessary for the Hehuan Sect to select female workers?" Chu Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
"Your Excellency, you don't know something."
"The wages paid to female workers by the Liu family are not low. Many of the female workers can go to private schools and can recognize a few words."
I see.
Chu Qianqiu nodded and understood.
To put it bluntly, the female workers belonged to the civil class of the Shenwu Dynasty. Compared with training disciples from childhood, it seemed that it was cheaper to select disciples from the smarter female workers.
"Then I would like to invite Manager Liu to the Governor's Mansion to have a talk first."
"Speaking of which, I still have some affection for the Liu family."
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Chu Qianqiu remembered a chess piece arranged in Shangjing, Gai Ying.
He used to be the son-in-law of the Liu family. Maybe he could start from this aspect and win over the Liu family.
He now really needs the power of a workshop like the Liu family to reduce the serious involution of the Shenwu Dynasty.
"Yes, sir." Tangning said quickly and was about to stand up and leave. Halfway through, she suddenly turned around and said with a flattering smile on her face:
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell the adults."
"This Fengyu Tower is a bit bitter and cold. It's really inappropriate for you to have no one to serve you here."
"The Tang family happens to have a daughter, called Tang Wan'er. She is quite smart and is willing to accompany you and serve you."
"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
What?
Who do you think I, Chu Qianqiu, am?
Am I that kind of person?
Chu Qianqiu coughed twice:
"It's ridiculous, how could Mr. Chu be such a person?"
"This subordinate's crime deserves death."
"But because of your diligence, let's forget it this time."
