Just as Zhao Hongrun predicted, the public resentment that had just been suppressed due to the attack on King Su has boiled over again. (Network
The tactics Wang uses are very simple, and can be summed up in just four words: kidnapping public opinion.
This group of people thought that they could not defeat Zhao Hongrun in a fight to the death. They also knew that Zhao Hongrun had summoned the merchant navy and was not afraid of nobles like them at all, so they came to retreat in order to advance.
Since His Highness Prince Su doesn't like us, and we can't fight you, shall we move out of the Anling Head Office?
Now that we have moved, your Highness, Prince Su, can support the common people who were employed by nobles like us in the past.
Of course, in Zhao Hongrun's view, the nobles in Anling City did not really want to move. All they had to do was spread the news, and the civilians employed by them would jump out and denounce Zhao Hongrun again for their own interests.
But this time, Zhao Hongrun could no longer use the trick of pretending to be attacked to scare the civilians. Otherwise, wouldn't the last trick be exposed?
I have to say that although this trick is rogue, it is still quite effective. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that most of them would be distressed by this trick of the nobles in the city. Unfortunately, what this group of people are facing this time is solemn.
Wang Zhao Hongrun.
After sneering a few times, Zhao Hongrun wrote a notice, then summoned Yan Yong, the magistrate of Anling County, and said to him: "Yan Yong, according to this notice, copy hundreds of copies, stamp it with the official seal, and paste it all over the place.
The whole city."
Presumably Yan Yong had also heard about the dirty tricks used by the nobles in the city, and was wondering how Zhao Hongrun would respond. After receiving the notice, he watched it carefully.
"Workshop?"
He looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and said with surprise: "Your Highness, Prince Su, there are no less than thousands of civilians employed by the nobles in the city, but your workshop... eats so many people underground?"
"Thousands? A lot?" Zhao Hongrun smiled and shook his head.
People in local counties have no idea how short of labor and labor the Daliang Engineering Department is now.
For example, a large amount of sheepskins transported from Sichuan to Daliang by the Ministry of Revenue are now being made into cold-resistant fur coats by the Yu Manufacturing Bureau under the Ministry of Industry, and then transported to all parts of the country for sale via ships from the warehouse under the Ministry of Revenue.
, or even sold to Wei State, Song Dynasty and even Qi State.
And for this reason, Yu Zaoju can be described as lamenting.
How many people are there in Yu Zao Bureau?
Even if the Ministry of Industry expands its manufacturing bureau due to the fact that its stalls are getting bigger and bigger, there are only a few thousand people today, and these more than a thousand people still have to shoulder the profit of mass production of candles.
After all, today's Smelting and Manufacturing Bureau is no longer responsible for private equipment, but is specifically responsible for the research and development of new Wei weapons and war weapons, as well as the construction of river ports such as Bolangsha and Xiangfu Port. It is gradually transforming into a Research Department. In this way
, the vacancy in the production of civilian tools must be filled by the Yu Manufacturing Bureau.
Although the Ministry of Industry also benefited from it and made a lot of profits, it also put the Yu Manufacturing Bureau into an embarrassing situation of insufficient manpower.
After the development of the Sanchuan trade, this embarrassment became more and more urgent. Seeing more and more sheepskins piling up in the warehouse, the officials and craftsmen of the Yu Manufacturing Bureau were worried about death.
After all, the sheepskins of the tribes in Sanchuan have been surviving for more than ten years. You want a department with only a thousand people in the Yu Zao Bureau to turn them all into leather clothes?
What made the officials and craftsmen of the Yu Manufacturing Bureau gnash their teeth was that the Ministry of Household Affairs kept chasing after them. After all, even a fool knew which one was more valuable, a simple sheepskin or a finely crafted leather jacket.
Originally, Zhao Hongrun had no intention of intervening in Yu Zao Bureau's affairs, but since these nobles in Anling City were seeking their own death, he didn't mind taking the opportunity to sell Yu Zao Bureau a favor. After all, his "reputation" in Yu Zao Bureau now,
It's really not good, especially after his Manufacturing Bureau left civilian manufacturing without saying a word.
Fortunately, the word capitalist did not exist in this era, otherwise, I believe this title would definitely fall on Zhao Hongrun.
After all, today's Smelting Bureau does not directly undertake any profitable projects, but whether it is the Bingzhu Bureau or the Yuzhu Bureau, a large amount of money must be allocated to the Smelting Bureau on schedule. After all, the Bingzhu Bureau and the Yuzhu Bureau
The current profitable projects of the Yu Manufacturing Bureau are all provided with technical support by the Manufacturing Bureau.
To put it bluntly, the Bingzhu Bureau and Yuzao Bureau were working for the Smelting Bureau. Although these two departments also made a lot of money, for various reasons, Zhao Hongrun, who "deeply hated" Zhao Hongrun in the Bingzhu Bureau and Yuzao Bureau,
There are a lot of people there.
Therefore, let alone thousands, even if it is tens of thousands of labor, the Ministry of Industry and the Yu Manufacturing Bureau will not refuse anyone who comes.
You know, due to the lack of labor force, the Ministry of Engineering has gradually shifted its focus to the two projects of Sanchuan and Nanyan Soldier Road construction, and has been forced to shelve the large project of digging deep Yingshui water channels, which can easily cost tens of thousands or dozens of dollars.
A great project for thousands of people.
The Ministry of Industry is not short of money now, it is just short of labor, the labor force.
Thousands of people are not enough to feed the Ministry of Industry.
"Tell the people in the city that I will build a workshop in Anling. Let's call it... well, let's call it Anling Workshop. It will be under the name of Yu Manufacturing Bureau and will be responsible for making leather clothes from the sheepskins purchased by the imperial court from Sanchuan.
Waiting for leather goods will definitely not deprive the people of Anling City of their livelihood jobs."
"..." Yan Yong thought carefully for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and shook his head, saying with emotion: "The nobles in the city have shot themselves in the foot..."
Isn't that right? The purpose of those nobles in Anling City to fire the civilians in the city was to kidnap public opinion and instigate these civilians to denounce and attack Zhao Hongrun for their own interests. But if Zhao Hongrun had a way to include these civilians who had lost their way to make money, those nobles could still
What support is there?
Furthermore, if the civilians who work for them are lost, what will happen to their industries? Who will mine for them and who will farm for them?
Relying on the nobles themselves? Stop joking!
It is no exaggeration to say that those nobles who have lost the labor force of Anling people will not be able to continue running their family businesses. Even if they still have many servants under their hands, I believe their profits will plummet.
Sure enough, when the nobles in Anling City released the news that they were planning to move out of Anling, the civilians in Anling City were shocked. For their own interests, they were ready to denounce Zhao Hongrun again. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun responded very quickly this time, and almost didn't.
After a while, a notice was posted in the name of the county government, telling the common people in the city that the Anling County government would be responsible for accepting the civilians who had been dismissed by the nobles and bring them into the Anling Workshop, which was under the name of the Yu Manufacturing Bureau and was responsible for processing the imperial court's goods from Sanchuan.
Purchased massive amounts of sheepskin.
As a result, the people of Anling were no longer anxious.
Who is working for but not working for?
After all, Anling Workshop is still under the name of Yu Manufacturing Bureau.
However, the people of Anling were not in a hurry, but the nobles were panicked.
Just as Zhao Hongrun guessed, these tactics were intended to use retreat to advance, kidnapping public opinion and forcing Zhao Hongrun to leave Anling. Who would have thought that Zhao Hongrun's move would completely destroy their biggest support.
What to do?
According to the news, move out of Anling?
Where to move?
Leaving aside the fact that such big businesses cannot be moved if they want, let’s just talk about the nobles in other counties. Will those noble families accept them?
Unless they move to some inconspicuous small county, for example, a large county like Zhengcheng where one or two nobles can be hit by just throwing a stone on the street, will the other party accept the Anling nobles?
You need to know that the resources of a county are only so small in the final analysis. The more people share the pie, the less they will get. This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands. Don’t make excuses for the nobles of other counties.
don't know.
Think about it, if the Wang family hadn't taken Zhao Laiyu's sake, why would they have accepted Zhao Laiyu's three sons to Anling? Don't even think about it!
In just a few hours, those nobles who were still clamoring to move away from Anling in the morning were all silent by the afternoon.
But unfortunately, these people have already been recorded in the book by Zongwei Mu Qing.
Do you regret it now?
Too late!
Since you are in the wrong team, you will be punished!
So, in the afternoon, Zongwei Mu Qing led a group of merchant generals and knocked on the door from door to door according to the list of nobles he wrote down in his book.
Don’t you want to move? If you say you want to move out, the water will be thrown out. Since you said you want to move, you must move!
Must move!
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Hongrun wanted to make these rebellious Anling nobles understand a truth, a truth that he wanted all the nobles in the country to clearly understand in the future: without your support, the Wei Dynasty will still be the Wei Dynasty;
With the support of Da Wei, you are nothing! Da Wei has never been dependent on anyone!
It has to be said that Zhao Hongrun's move made those nobles in Anling City who wanted to leave this place have trouble sleeping and eating.
Among these nobles were the Anling Zhao family of Zhao Hongrun and his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.
"Aha!"
After learning about this, Zhao Hongrun jumped up from his chair.
At first, he didn't have much hope for Mu Qing's book, because in his opinion, based on the experience of his third uncle Zhao Laiyu, since he didn't join forces with the Wang family a few days ago, he probably wouldn't join forces this time either.
Be in it.
Unexpectedly, the list of nobles who closed their shops and laid off civilians would include the Anling Zhao family.
This means that Zhao Hongrun finally got the chance.
You must know that the reason why Zhao Hongrun ignored the Zhao family in Anling before was because of Gong Ying. The real cause of the Gongfu incident was the Wang family. Those boys from the Zhao family were just accomplices at best.
It's hard to get into it.
As for the deficit in the county warehouse, if the Anling Zhao family is willing to spend a large sum of money to make up for it, Zhao Hongrun would not be too embarrassed to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
But this time it was different. It was quite bad to form a clique for personal gain, unite with the Wang family and other nobles in Anling City, and force Zhao Hongrun to leave Anling at the risk of causing huge public resentment.
This incident was enough for Zhao Hongrun to take the opportunity to knock out a few of the Anling Zhao family's teeth in revenge for the unfavorable rumor that Zhao Laiyu had spread when he left the capital of Daliang.
"Let's go! Follow me to the Zhao family's mansion!... I will personally go to urge the Zhao family to fulfill their words!"
He, Zhao Hongrun, always takes revenge! (To be continued.) 8
