With the addition of 6 new people, the huge Ren Mansion finally no longer looked so empty.
"Master, it's time to eat."
In the main dining room, in front of the newly purchased dining table, Ren Pingsheng looked at the food served by the maid.
"Has it been delivered to the front yard?"
Ren Pingsheng stood at the door while the maid Siqi poured warm water into the copper basin and waited with a clean towel.
After he washed his hands and put them there, Siqi quickly wiped Ren Pingsheng clean with a towel.
"Sister Qingyin has already sent it over."
The maid Ruhua said.
The names of the four maids were given by Xiaowan.
They are called Qingyin, Siqi, Wangshu and Ruhua respectively.
At this time, Xiao Wan came in with a plate: "Master, please try it quickly. This chicken with saliva is my new one. Let's see if it tastes good."
Besides, only by having property can you have money, people, and power.
Xiaowan can learn knowledge, and he can also reorganize the knowledge in his mind while teaching Xiaowan, playing a role in checking for gaps. It is also convenient when facing the impact of the new world, new situations, and new changes.
Find solutions faster.
Xiaowan glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in this world and enjoy life better.
If you want to survive well in troubled times, you must first have money and food, secondly you must have land, and thirdly and most importantly, you must have people.”
In the bedroom, in addition to the large bed, there is a desk, a computer chair, a five-story bookshelf, and a safe in the corner.
Ren Pingsheng patted Xiaowan on the head: "The development of things is not static. We must look at problems with a historical, dialectical and objective attitude.
Seeing that it was Xiaowan who was watching in the kitchen, Ren Pingsheng felt relieved, as the poison-testing mice he had prepared earlier were no longer needed.
Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Yes, you see that the Jing Dynasty has been more than two hundred years old, and it has been hard to get back. To this point, land annexation is a big reason. More and more farmers have lost their land, and the land is in the hands of big landlords."
There is more and more land, and there are often tens of thousands of land.
This question must wait until we conduct in-depth research and understanding before we can get a correct answer that can stand the test."
After Ren Pingsheng complained, he continued to type on the computer.
Unless the spring thunder sweeps away and rebuilds the world, it is difficult to improve the current situation.
Xiaowan closed the book and yawned.
The landowners and gentry in turn transferred their land to scholars with a good reputation, and a large amount of population and tax revenue disappeared from the imperial household registration and account books.
The printer on the table spit out two pieces of paper. Ren Pingsheng took it into his hand, looked at it again and felt there was nothing wrong with it, so he placed the paper on the table.
In terms of taste, it is no worse than restaurants in the city.
Xiaowan asked: "But I read in the book that land annexation is a stubborn disease that leads to the decline of the dynasty."
Ren Pingsheng felt that even his mother, Xiaowan, could not take care of others.
"The book says that in the past dynasties, few reforms were successful from within. Most of them were broken from the outside, thus changing dynasties.
Although four new maids have arrived, no one is allowed to enter the young master's bedroom except Xiaowan.
"It doesn't count."
"This book involves a lot of economic knowledge, which may seem obscure to you."
"Thanks."
"Unfortunately, there is not enough heat from the sun in winter, so charging is very slow."
Although we don’t know how many more years the Jing Dynasty will have in terms of national destiny, the military chaos in Northern Anhui continues, and Yuntai County is adjacent to Northern Anhui. If a military disaster comes, we must make plans in advance and be prepared."
"Buzz~"
Why is this?"
If you have money, money is a floating wealth that attracts people to covet and manipulate you.
Ren Pingsheng leaned back, and the leg rest on the computer chair automatically rose to lift his calf.
When Xiaowan saw that the young master had completed his work, he asked for advice.
There are people whose people's hearts are unstable, have no system, and are difficult to mobilize.
He was holding a thermos cup in both hands and drinking lily flower tea. During his last physical examination, uric acid was relatively high. The doctor recommended that he eat less meat, stop drinking alcohol, and make lily flower tea.
The only thing in the room was the clock's second hand ticking.
After dinner, both Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang and the others in the front yard were quite satisfied with the food prepared by the new cook.
Ren Pingsheng said.
Xiaowan nodded.
"However, what we have to do for a long time to come is to set up businesses, build workshops, annex land, build farms, and buy people.
After entering the bedroom, I saw the young master working in front of the computer screen.
Years of disaster are the time when big landowners show off their skills, using clever means of plunder to turn land-owning peasants into their tenants.
"It's half past seven."
"It's getting late, go to bed. When I have time, I will compile a book list for you. You will understand after reading more."
"good."
Ren Pingsheng said.
Chatting at night has become a regular repertoire between him and Xiaowan.
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said: "We don't have the means of production in our hands, and now we are considered petty bourgeoisie at best."
“Because those who control the means of production have no motivation for reform, and even their existence is exacerbating class differentiation. They don’t want the people to get rich, because when the people get rich, there will be fewer dominated people.
Only those who have permanent property can have perseverance. Since we have brought the brothers from Liujiacun out, we naturally need property to stabilize people's hearts.
Xiaowan held the book and asked: "Are we considered rulers now?"
There were natural and man-made disasters, raging floods, and excessive expropriation. Below, the landlords and gentry cleverly seized the peasants' land. A large number of landless peasants became rioters, mobs, and refugees. The continuous military disasters in Beiwan had a lot to do with this.
It's getting dark, and Qingcheng Town has become quiet.
Only with industry can we create a system, expand our influence, breed power, and make people listen to what we say and use it for our own purposes.
Ren Pingsheng saw Xiaowan gently placing the cup on the table and said: "The outdoor power supply is almost out of power. Take the battery board and put it in the yard to charge tomorrow."
It will be difficult for them to obtain land, population and support from others at less cost."
This goes back to the original problem. Those who have permanent property can have perseverance. The more landless peasants there are, the more difficult it is to solve the corruption situation. The relationship between the landlords and the gentry and the court is too deep. The inherent class attributes make it possible for the dynasty to revolutionize from within.
It's very small. Even if someone is willing to take the risk, the possibility of success is very small.
Xiaowan couldn't understand it, so she felt that the young master was really knowledgeable and talented, and his eyes were full of wisdom.
"Um."
She picked up the thermos and walked into Ren's bedroom on the west side.
"Master, how should we prepare?"
He glanced at the book Xiaowan was reading - "The Development and Change of Dynasties from an Economic Perspective".
Xiaowan gently took out the lilies from the glass jar, put them into a thermos cup, and then brewed them with hot water from the thermos bottle.
For her, tonight's chat was filled with a lot of new words, which made her a little confused.
When he planned to come to Qingcheng Town, Ren Pingsheng had a plan in mind. After refining the plan, a short-term development outline was quickly formed.
After dinner, they forgot to read, and Ru Hua and the others cleaned up the food. If there was any unfinished food, they would take it to the other side of the room and eat together.
Without investigation, you have no right to speak. If you make plans out of thin air based only on fragments of words and previous historical data, you will fall into empiricism and bookishness.
Xiaowan sat next to her and read quietly. When she saw that Ren Pingsheng had finished drinking the water in his cup, she refilled it for him.
"Master, I was just watching Qijin and Qiaomei cooking in the kitchen. All the meals tonight are made by Qijin, except for this chicken with saliva——"
Read books to clarify your ambitions, but you also need to think more, think more, read more, combine it with reality, and sum up experience in practice.
"Um."
Xiaowan nodded, put on her coat and went to the west wing.
"Qingyin, don't forget to add more firewood at night and don't let the fireplace go out."
When returning to the west wing, Xiaowan gave instructions to Qingyin who was on duty tonight.
