In the guest hall of Fengyang County.
Liu Bai sat on the main seat and looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him with a mocking gaze.
He did not know why, but he felt that these two people seemed to have other motives.
In addition, the other party claimed that he was from the Ying Tian Prefecture.
There seemed to be something extraordinary about this.
"Young Master just mentioned foreigners, right?”
"That's right! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Zhu Di looked at Liu Bai, who was smiling at him after taking a sip of tea.
He could not help but focus.
He had a premonition that something amazing was coming.
"Every foreigner who comes to Fengyang needs to eat and rest. If they stayed permanently, they would even need to rent a house. Their needs needed to be handled in Fengyang City. Did it promote the business of Fengyang City?”
"Of course. When we arrive at Fengyang City, we naturally have to settle everything in Fengyang City."
After Zhu Di heard Liu Bai's question, he frowned slightly.
What did this have to do with what he was asking?
"If they need it, does that mean the shops in Fengyang City need to stock up? Does the manufacturer need to produce the goods? Did they need employees for production? And did these employees also have needs such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation?”
...
After Liu Bai asked this question, Zhu Di felt dizzy.
However, he suddenly realized something.
It seemed that all these problems were closed!
With people, there would be demand, production, manpower, and demand...
This was a question that could go on endlessly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Bai's words,
He suddenly had some feelings.
"Using foreigners to drive the local economy? However, if that was the case, wouldn't they be taking away the labor force of the other counties? If you do this... Wouldn't that mean that you're robbing them of their livelihood and supporting yourself?”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and frowned.
At the same time, he suddenly understood why Phoenix Sun City could develop so quickly after Liu Bai led businesses into Phoenix Sun City.
This was because he was simply plundering the vitality of other counties to enrich himself!
Such methods…
"As expected of someone from a big place! I saw through it at a glance."
Zhu Yuanzhang had seen through the essence of this in an instant.
Liu Bai didn't retort, nor did he try to hide it.
This was how Fengyang City had developed from the very beginning.
He used advanced technology to attract some merchants to enter Fengyang.
He started factories, built industrial zones, and created job demand. Then, he used this opportunity to recruit labor from the surrounding areas.
Then, it began to develop in a positive manner.
This also allowed Phoenix Sun to develop crazily in a short period of time.
"Wouldn't you be harming the surrounding counties like this? You want to develop Fengyang, but you can't sacrifice other counties for your own nourishment! If everyone in the world did this, what kind of words would it be?”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Liu Bai to admit it so decisively.
Looking at his guiltless expression, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank.
If the truth was just as Liu Bai had said.
Liu Bai was a kind person to Fengyang City, but to the county towns around Fengyang City, he was a good person.
He was a vicious butcher!
"Old man, you are wrong. My Phoenix Sun City was the first to develop, but you are right. However, the development of Phoenix Sun was definitely not just economic, right?”
"After the Lu family of Linchuan Prefecture settled in Fengyang, I started to sponsor and teach them knowledge related to agriculture. Now, the Lu family has established a farm equipment and some agricultural drugs and fertilizers.”
"Now, the annual profit generated by the Lu family's agricultural equipment and fertilizers is more than ten times that of their family's restaurant!”
" After these agricultural machinery and fertilizers were sold to various counties, they brought huge benefits to the local grain harvest. The loss of labor did not affect agriculture at all.”
"At the same time, the poor people from the surrounding counties who had their land annexed have also come to Fengyang. Just the Lu family's factory alone has accepted more than 400 employees. If it weren't for the existence of this factory, these people might have only been able to work as cows and horses for the large families who had annexed their land. They would have lived a life of poverty.”
As Liu Bai spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was deep in thought, with a faint smile.
"Old Master, I'm sure you can guess who I've affected the most after I started the industry! After the factories in Fengyang recruited a large number of laborers who had lost their land, they were able to gather a large number of people. The ones who had the greatest impact were the landowners and gentry who tried their best to annex the land!”
"The land that they spent so much effort to acquire, now there are no cheap poor people to help them cultivate.”
When Liu Bai said this, his tone could not help but carry a hint of disdain and mockery.
"I think you should know best. If it wasn't because they couldn't live anymore, who would be willing to leave their hometown?”
Liu Bai's last sentence seemed to have deeply hurt Zhu Yuanzhang.
That's right, if it wasn't because they couldn't live anymore, who would be willing to leave their hometown?
