Chapter 220 Proposal for Fame and Fortune
Um?
"Listen?"
Kong Duancao and Wang Zhongqiu were stunned!
The representatives of the aristocratic families were also speechless.
After a few seconds of quieting, Cai Xie sneered: "Jiang Chen, you are completely trying to make a fuss.
If you do this, it will take no time for our aristocratic tenants to become fugitive farmers and refugees, rushing to join the wing army. Who will cultivate land for us?
Are you trying to dig the foundation of our aristocratic family?”
"Not only that, the people will praise Lord Jiang for loving the people as much as their sons, and scold us for being rich and unkind. Is this the result that Lord Jiang wants?"
Guo Haochu had a mocking face and was as good as instigation.
After saying this, everyone changed their brilliance and all cast hostile eyes on Jiang Chen.
"You also add some benefits to the people, so that they can eat and wear well, so that they will naturally prevent the situation of escaping farmers." Jiang Chen replied lightly.
"joke!
After the people have no worries about food and clothing, they will be greedy for themselves, increase their selfish desires, breed ambitions, and do not accept education, and even have a situation where there is land but no one to farm, which will harm the country and the country without any benefits!
Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Jiang to cancel all the benefits of the Jimin Army. The government has our own side to help you speak, so you don’t have to worry too much!”
Kong Duancao's face was full of righteousness and had a gentlemanly attitude of worrying about the country and the people.
"Yes, let us leave this matter. As long as Lord Jiang does not object, there will definitely be no reason for the official to refuse."
Representatives of aristocratic families agreed and asked them to use money to supplement the people, which was simply a dream.
"What does it mean to harm the country but not to benefit?"
Jiang Chen's lungs were about to get angry, and he couldn't bear it anymore, staring at Kong Duancao with disgust on his face and said:
"You hypocrite who speaks of kindness and morality, just want to continue to exploit the people, use cheap labor, and make the people who cannot survive rush to send their daughters to you for pleasure and disaster.
Spending the hard-earned money earned by the people for you, hugging the daughter of the people's family to have fun, but looking down on the people and trying every means to prevent the people from eating and wearing. This is what you call the art of controlling people?"
"Bah! It's simply shameless!"
Jiang Chen scolded loudly without hesitation.
"You...you are the slander who is a humble person, you are the real shameless! Alien!"
Kong Duancao's face turned pale and slapped the table and stood up.
"Not bad! People who are born into farming farmers are inferior. Even if they become officials, they are still untouchables. They are actually treacherous people who are cholera and shake the country's fundamental treacherous people!"
"Jiang Chen, if you continue to do something like this, you will definitely be cholera and the country! I advise you to correct the treatment of the Jimin Army and its family members."
Guo Haochu, Wang Zhonglu and others stood up one after another, staring at the treacherous ministers with hostility.
Representatives of other aristocratic families also looked at Jiang Chen with unfriendly eyes like other people.
"Just! Do you not let the people live a good life, nor do you allow others to let the people live a good life?"
Jiang Chen looked around with contempt, looked around for a while, and asked, "Everyone, do you know if you have heard of the rebellion of Fang La in Jiangnan?"
"Um?"
"What do Fang La do if you mention it well?"
Everyone was stunned.
Pan Shishan, the shopkeeper Pan, understood and said, "Even a three-year-old child knows about Fang La's rebellion now.
I heard that Fang La and the corresponding Fang La rebelled people, they would peel off the officials and noble families from aristocratic families and hearts from each place, and they were even more cruel and outrageous to their families and their children.
Not only that, many of the noble families were killed by their own tenants!”
"This matter is absolutely true. I have a few relatives and friends who fled from Jiangnan to Bianjing, and what they say is exactly the same as the rumors."
Gao Qiu's eldest son Gao Bing nodded with a serious expression, and he already understood Jiang Chen's purpose in his heart.
Jiang Chen nodded gratefully to Pan Shishan and Gaobing, and asked coldly to everyone: "Everyone, I believe that there have been many rebellions and rebellions under the jurisdiction of your family in recent years, right?
Don’t you worry about one or two Fang La coming out of your hometown? Have you ever thought about your children in your family?"
this……
Representatives of the aristocratic families became terrified and hesitated when they heard this.
Seeing this, Kong Duancao was immediately angry: "Jiang Chen, don't be sarcastic here! Although there are many rebels in the world, how many can make a difference?"
"Whether this official is exaggerated or not, it must be different from one's own opinion!"
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and said aloud: "I have calculated the calculations for you. Now the average yield per mu of fertile land in my Song Dynasty is about 300 liters. Based on the current price of 15 and 16 liters of rice, the profit per acre of land is nearly 6 jin of coins per liter of money per acre.
All of you have thousands of hectares of fertile land (one hectares and one hundred acres) in your family. The output is only one land, and the annual income is no less than hundreds of thousands of chunks.
It took out tens of thousands of chunks of subsidies to supplement the tenant farmers, stabilize the hearts of the people, and not only accumulated blessings, avoid worries for the family, but also contributed to the stability of the country and the country. Why not do it?
Do you have to force the people of the world to rebel like Fang La, and make your family feel scared day and night before you are happy?”
"snort!
Instead of using tens of thousands of pounds of money to supplement the people, we might as well recruit more hospital guards! Wouldn't it be safer?"
Wang Zhonglu scoffed.
"Not bad! Lord Jiang, you said it very easily. Why should we use our money to supplement the untouchables? Since you are interested in stabilizing the people's hearts, what should you do if you don't pay this money?"
Guo Haochu, Kong Duancao and others nodded and agreed, looking at Jiang Chen with a playful look on his face.
"Can!"
Jiang Chen nodded unexpectedly and smiled: "Although I can't help you pay this money directly, I can help you earn back this money several times or even dozens of times. Let you gain both fame and fortune! Eliminate hidden dangers!"
"Is that true?"
The expressions of representatives of the aristocratic families instantly eased.
Guo Haochu argued: "Jiang Chen, why don't you talk about building a house with cement again? That's what you promised everyone long ago!"
"Cement is nothing at all!
There are some things in the ancient times that are better than cement!”
While Jiang Chen was speaking, he made a gesture to Deng Wenhao.
Then Deng Wenhao brought people to bring in a lot of things, including brushes made of skim wool, clothes made of down, toothbrushes made of bristles... and even tooth powder and toilet paper.
Toothpaste and toothbrushes have become popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. The toothbrush is made of ponytails, which is similar to the use of dental floss. The toothpaste is honey and various Chinese medicine powders that are beneficial to the teeth and mouth.
It is not of the same order as the bristle toothbrush and tooth powder.
So after everyone tried it, they all praised it loudly.
And when they saw the benefits of wool pens, toilet paper and down jackets, their eyes shone brightly and saw huge business opportunities.
