Chapter 35
"I'm indeed wrong!"
I don’t know when Ye Hua came out of the study and admitted frankly. Chen Shi was puzzled, “Huazi, Brother Zhao, Brother Han and others all follow your method to release the slaves in the family. How can you say that you are wrong?”
Ye Hua shook his head, "You can't just look at the intention when doing things, but also the means. If the method is wrong, it's also wrong!"
Chen Tuan was shocked. He looked at Ye Hua carefully. After only one night, this kid gave people a different feeling. It was hard to describe it. It seemed that he had grown several years and matured a lot overnight.
Ye Hua smiled at Chen Tuan, "The Taoist Master is deeply rooted in people's hearts and is a savage. In the past, the boy had many offensive things. Please forgive me. If you have anything wrong with him in the future, please give me more thanks."
After thanking Chen Tuan, Ye Hua turned to Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong and others.
"You guys are so kind. I am very grateful to you for helping you in times of crisis. Please accept my tribute." As he said that, he bowed deeply.
Han Tong, Zhao Kuangyin, and others hesitated for a moment, and quickly reached out to pull Ye Hua up. Zhao Kuangyin shouted: "I didn't say anything, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. We are all neighbors. If we don't help each other, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders!"
Someone laughed and said, "Don't care, those civil servants will gossip and ask their brothers to settle the score with the workers, give them a fist and be honest!"
...
Ye Hua always kept a humble smile. When everyone finished speaking, he spoke, "Brothers, I have some things to discuss with you here. If you are interested, let's do it together."
Zhao Kuangyin immediately patted his chest and said, "I admire Ye Changshi's ability very much. No matter what you do, it will be my share!"
Ye Hua took the big guy under the grape trellis and sat around the stone table.
"I just heard a few words from Brother Han." Ye Hua took the lead in speaking, "Everyone is determined to release the slaves, I think we can't be so hasty."
Han Tong said curiously: "Brother Ye, what do you think should be done?"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Slaves can't see hope, work hard, and raise slaves and have to take on food, clothing and accommodation. This is actually not a good deal. If you divide the farmland into pieces, rent it to slaves, and give them freedom, you can burst out with several times of motivation..." Han Tong said all these things, nothing strange. Then Ye Hua talked about the key point, and everyone listened.
"In addition to the land rent, there will be some surplus for the slaves who rent the land. They will use it to buy farm tools and plow oxen. After a few years of accumulation, they will also build a house and marry a wife, and they will need more things. Moreover, there are female family members in the slaves' homes, and they can also raise chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, textiles and cloth. In short, they will do their best to make themselves better!"
Becoming a tenant is definitely not easier than a slave. On the contrary, you have to work harder to maintain the survival of the family. The difference is that slaves are for the master, while tenant farmers and self-cultivated farmers are for themselves. The more they work, the more they get. This is the difference between the boss and the worker. I haven’t seen any boss asking for overtime pay from him yet!
There is no need to say Ye Hua much, these rough men also understand that, in short, once the slave land is given, the output will increase several times.
"I think there are several things that must be settled in advance in the contract. The first is the land rent. I think the land rent should not be too high. It is the upper limit of 33. This can not only ensure benefits but also make the tenants motivated. Second, their output, especially grain, besides food and land rent, we have to purchase the excess."
Han Tong frowned, "Brother Ye, we don't do grain business, why are we buying grain?"
"Brother Han, we just want to do the food business!" Ye Hua said with a smile.
Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "That's right, Ye Changshi's idea is good. The grain business is so profitable, why don't you do it!"
The others also nodded and agreed.
"Also, tenants need farm tools, oxen, and seeds... We should open a few more braised chicken shops to encourage tenants to raise chickens and supply them. It is best to find a way to get a few butcher shops. We have people, land and feed, so that tenants can raise pigs and buy them and sell them."
Ye Hua talked about more than a dozen business in one breath, making these military men stupid.
They all stared at each other and kept rubbing their hands. It seemed that Ye Hua was right and could make money, but most of them didn’t know how to do business, let alone opening so many shops, how could there be so many shops?
Seeing everyone having questions, Ye Hua smiled and said, "The shop is ready. Don't I have a street in my hand? In this way, I will charge you half the price of rent. If someone doesn't know how to operate it, just pay for it, just use it as a dry stock, and enjoy dividends." Ye Hua said, "Brothers, the supervisor has begun to reduce the taxes and taxes. If you do business, you will definitely make a lot of money. Even if you don't know how to do anything else, it's good to buy a few shops and eat the rent."
Ye Hua stepped on the stone pier with one leg, pointed at the country, and bewitched passionately: "I'm afraid there will be no such a good opportunity in my life! If you don't use money at home, it's not money. There is a saying that goes - if you don't manage your finances, you don't care about you! Brothers, who would think that money is biting your hands? Do you think so?"
...
here we go again!
It's really unchanged!
Chen Tuan was stunned and didn't know what to say.
He originally thought that Ye Hua had reflected on his mistakes and reformed himself! But now it seems that this kid has changed a little bit! What is the difference between what he said to Zhao Kuangyin and his group of people and what he said to the stonemasons?
They are all the same paintings and bragging!
This kid is beyond help!
Chen Tuan completely gave up his plan to treat Ye Hua. The only thing he was worried about now was how to save the life of his stupid apprentice!
Chen Tuan was depressed. Do you want to say that Ye Hua has reflected? He did reflect, but the direction of Ye Hua's reflection is a bit different.
Playing with catering, stir-frying the land, abolition of slaves... These things are not something that cannot be achieved in hundreds of years. In fact, decades later, the Song Dynasty had signs.
It is true that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were in troubled times, but this chaotic era also destroyed all rules. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Confucianism has declined, and by the Five Dynasties, it has almost disappeared and has no binding force.
Especially these military men, even the emperor dares to overthrow the emperor. Do whatever he does the most favorable thing, and don’t worry about others saying so much.
After Ye Hua reflected on it, his mistake was to fight alone.
He was also blamed for being stupid in the funeral home. He didn't even bring a few allies to such a big business. As a result, the Ministry of Works impeached him and directly stabbed him to Guo Wei, without even a person to speak for him!
It's so shameful!
Ye Hua swore that he must not make such a low-level mistake again, otherwise he would be laughed to death.
He thought about it all night, and as soon as he took action, he tied Han Tong, Zhao Kuangyin and others into a chariot. This was not the end. Ye Hua was still thinking about attracting more people in, and even Guo Wei and Chai Rong could not run away.
After this time, Ye Hua not only did not feel depressed, but on the contrary, his fighting spirit became stronger and his courage became stronger and he became more courageous as he setbacks!
At this moment, Ye Zhong suddenly ran in.
"Brother Hua, it's not good. Wang Jun took a team of men to the craftsman to kill all the craftsmen who were in trouble, and the capital city will be bleeding again."
When Ye Hua heard this, he stood up and his face changed.
Guo Wei left the craftsman to deal with the trouble. Now that Wang Jun has taken action, he still has to kill him. His claws are stretched too long!
Ye Hua went straight to the craftsman's supervisor without saying a word.
Chapter completed!
