Chapter 2351 Freeing slaves and building Jiangbei as guests
Liu Yu said with a smile: "You are a woman who is responsible for half of the work. In the past, only men went out to work and served collectively, but if you can get women to do the same, that would be great."
He was talking, but he was sighing in his heart. Fatty Liu was really a genius. In the Jin Dynasty, he could actually come up with such a system of large factories and working girls like New China nearly two thousand years later. It seems that
This belly is not only filled with fat and oil, but also contains great wisdom.
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said, "Although we women in Jingkou can work in the fields and don't need to wear a pair of gloves when going out like girls in the city, after all, women who are women have to walk more than ten miles a day.
The journey to the county is not only tiring, but will also cause gossip. It would be much better if we could weave together and have the government provide these raw silk raw materials. In addition to the cloth and silk in stock before, unless it is needed for war preparations
Anyone who comes to make military uniforms for the soldiers can sell them at a low price. No matter how rich the aristocratic family is, they can't afford this endless supply of silk cloth. In the end, they can only admit defeat. In this way, the price of cloth in the capital can be
It’s up to us.”
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "But the money from the sale should be returned to the treasury, so how much should the hired craftsmen and weaver women get?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "The money from selling silk can be distributed first to the clerks in the cloth shop and the women in the village according to the working wages. Now the labor cost in the capital is almost twenty yuan a day. On this basis, we can
Add a little more to the amount to twenty-five cents, and the wages of the women in the village will be halved. Fifteen cents is enough. They are meritorious soldiers and their families. The imperial court has issued corresponding laws and regulations to give them preferential treatment. This salary is the most
Good perks.”
"In addition, the money earned from selling cloth can be divided into another 10%, which is about five yuan per person. As a reward and share, not everyone gets five yuan, but those who do well and do it quickly
, they can get up to 25 yuan a day, which is equivalent to their wages. If they can't even complete basic production tasks and sales, then the minimum will not be any extra money, only wages. This will stimulate them to do more.
If you work less, you will get less, and if you don’t work, you won’t be able to do it, so as to prevent some people from just showing off and not working hard.”
Liu Yu smiled and clapped his hands: "Fat man, you still have a way. You can think of all this. You are really a fucking genius."
Liu Muzhi smiled "hehe": "Actually, these are just relatively basic stimulation and reward methods in the military, but this kind of military method is rarely used among civilians. Because after all, the military must be highly organized and let everyone
People do their best and things make the best use of them. After we return to our hometowns, each household often works alone. At most, a few neighbors help each other when there is nothing to do. This kind of large-scale collective production has not yet been formed. I hope that through this
Try to extend this kind of collective labor and unified management to farming in the future, from Jiankang and Jingkou to the entire Jin Dynasty. Only in this way can every common person be truly organized and utilized. Only in this way can we
Truly dig out the roots of the aristocratic families and make every citizen obey the orders of the country, not the aristocratic families."
Liu Yu said seriously: "That's right. In the past, these aristocratic families relied on the power and land in their hands to arbitrarily enclose land and keep slaves, and took a large number of northern refugees and bankrupt Jin farmers as their tenants. These tenants were not
Reported to the country, they have simply become serfs who have farmed for generations, and the family's parasitic method of getting something for nothing is based on the enslavement of these tenants. The court and the country could not control the situation of these people before, and even the people in the manor
Many people don’t know that this situation can be broken only by letting the tenant farmers come out to work for the court and the country.”
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, last time Sima Yuanxian wanted to recruit troops in Sanwu, he also had this idea, but the biggest mistake he made was that he just wanted to snatch people from aristocratic families, but
I don’t want to think about whether these tenant farmers are willing to accept the new life, nor do I want to think of ways to give these tenant farmers something to do and food to eat. Being a military slave in his army is not as good as being a tenant farmer in the original owner’s home.
It gives the Celestial Master an opportunity to take advantage of."
Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, so this is a clever move of yours. First, through concentrated farming, farming, and weaving, let the world see that working for the country has more hope and more hope than working for the manor owners."
They can live a good life. In this way, if the imperial court recruits workers openly, the tenant farmers will not take the initiative to hide, but will run out to contribute to the country and earn more money. But, fat man, have you ever thought about doing this?
How can a high-ranking family sit still and wait for death? If all their tenant farmers run away, why don't they drink the northwest wind?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is the most important step. Tenant farmers are often either refugees from the north or bankrupt farmers who owe money to aristocratic families and signed a contract of sale before entering the estates of aristocratic families to farm. Their descendants follow one after another.
, although there are some families like the Xie family who are relatively kind and do not force tenants to stay, but most of them would like to treat these tenants as their own slaves and livestock from generation to generation. If the country touches their villagers,
They will come up with various deeds of betrayal to fight against them. These deeds of betrayal and debt documents were officially recognized during the Jin Dynasty, and they were often stamped with official seals. Since we are restoring the Jin Dynasty, we have to recognize it."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "So, you fat guy doesn't think of a solution now?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, I didn't think about this step well. Not only the aristocratic families in the capital owned a large number of slaves in Sanwu Manor, but even many small and medium-sized wealthy people in Wu relied on their servants to make a living. Like the Shen family
The brothers are a typical example, the Jingba brothers from the Beifu Army. Over the years, the men have been away at war for a long time, and the family often has to buy a few slaves and tenant farmers to do the work. Even your family now has more than a dozen servants."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This is not an unsolvable problem. The tenant farmers just owe money to their masters. It does not mean that they will become their slaves and have no freedom. As long as they can pay back the money, it will be over."
?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."
Liu Yu put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "We can provide tenant farmers with higher wages than working in the city, such as forty yuan a day, to attract tenant farmers in these manors to no longer rent the owner's fields, but to
They came to work for the imperial court, and after making money, the imperial court could lend them another half to redeem their lives. As long as their personal freedom was restored, they would farm in the six counties of Jiangbei, with Guangling and Pengcheng as the two core cities, attracting the people of Wu.
The people moved away. If I want to make the Northern Expedition in the future, I must not make the six counties in Jiangbei as sparsely populated as they are now. What I want is for the six counties in Jiangbei to become Jingkou! And the first step is to exempt slaves from being guests!"
