"Attracting investment, plundering the labor force of the surrounding areas to drive their own economic development, and then feeding the surrounding areas, using a little wealth to bring up a whole area!”
"Using work to replace agriculture, using work to support agriculture. If the commoners really lost the land they relied on to survive because of land annexation, then they would work in factories to earn money and prevent these people from becoming cheap slaves of the landowners!”
"Good method, really good method! Exquisite, exquisite!"
...
When Zhu Di told them about the government decrees that he and his son had heard from Liu Bai about using industry to support agriculture and using commerce to support agriculture.
Zhu Biao listened with great interest.
If the previous city road planning was only a small success skill, then it would be impossible for the city to be a small success.
Then this unique management model could definitely be called a plan to govern the world!
Although the establishment of the factory had taken away some of the agricultural labor force.
However, it was precisely because of this that the people who had lost their land would not have no choice but to become tools for the landlords to accumulate wealth.
After all, once the people lost their land, they would naturally become the so-called tenants!
Originally, after paying taxes, the annual harvest of his own land was still enough for his family to eat.
However, once they became tenants of the landlord's land,
Other than paying taxes, you also have to pay rent.
The rent was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It was just like Liu Bai's salary. Every month, it would just be enough for you to spend. Once you started to owe money, the debt would accumulate indefinitely.
In the end, you worked hard all year round without stopping, farming without eating or drinking.
After the final harvest, you will find out.
Even if you don't eat or drink, a year's harvest won't be enough to pay off last year's debt.
If it came to this, the tenant would only have two choices.
First, sell yourself to the landlord, and the landlord will directly remove your name from the household register. That means that you are already dead to a certain extent.
"After the household registration is cut, you don't have to pay taxes on the land under your household registration.
And if you still helped the landlord farm, your descendants would also be illegal households without household registration. Even if they died, no one would care.
The second option was to beg on the streets and slowly starve to death.
No matter which choice it was, it would be a disaster for the people.
In fact, the root cause of the destruction of any dynasty in history was the problem of land.
Too many people had fallen into despair after losing their land.
When they were about to starve to death, as long as someone raised their arms and shouted, they would give these people a bite to eat.
They would become the other party's tools.
In the end, it formed a rebellion and led to the destruction of the dynasty.
And now, the word 'factory' had appeared.
It was undoubtedly a way out for the people who had lost their land.
Without the land, you can still enter the field to work!
At least, he wasn't at a dead end, was he?
Moreover, Zhu Biao could see that one of the points in Liu Bai's plan was…
It was a drastic measure for the landowners and despotic gentry who had spent so much effort to seize the land from the people.
They tried their best to seize land, but what they wanted was not just land.
Seizing land was just one of their methods.
The ultimate goal of these people was to force the people into a desperate situation and then squeeze them dry of their last bit of value.
It was useless to have land alone. There had to be labor.
Therefore, what they wanted was not only land, but also labor.
However, the appearance of factories would give hope to the people who had lost their land.
A hope of survival.
Who would be willing to be a person who existed in name only if they could live as a living person?
Who would be willing to let their sons and grandsons become the slaves of others, and their wives and daughters become the playthings of others?
"This Liu Bai is really a talent! However, setting up a factory shouldn't be as simple as we think. After all, even if the factory could accommodate the people who had lost their land, the person who opened the factory could not spend money to support these people forever, right?”
While Zhu Biao was lamenting the subtlety of Liu Bai's decree…
The King of Qin, Zhu Rong, also gave his opinion.
Among the princes, only he and Zhu Biao had a family.
Naturally, he would be in contact with more things in the outside world.
To put it bluntly, a factory was just a bigger workshop.
Since it was a workshop, it naturally had to produce and earn money.
Otherwise, how could they feed those workers?
If the things produced by the factory could not be sold...
"That's why I said that Liu Bai is amazing! I heard that the merchants he lured to Fengyang all made a lot of money. It was also because of this that the merchants who were lured to Fengyang obeyed the rules he set.”
"If there are people who don't abide by the rules, Liu Bai will remove them from Fengyang City and support a merchant who produces and sells similar goods.”
When Zhu Di was in Fengyang City, he was usually bored. What he liked to do the most was to go to various restaurants to listen to the gossip.
Therefore, he knew a little about the legends of Fengyang City.
"I also heard that the reason why the merchants in Fengyang City were able to rise so quickly was because of the technology and ideas provided by Liu Bai! That guy could easily dominate the world with just a little bit of his skills!”
