Luo Zining went to the drug dealer the next day and had a talk with him. He said that he was going to open a pharmaceutical factory and wanted to find someone with rich experience to be the factory manager.People who buy medicinal materials in this way will not make mistakes and cause losses to the factory.

He told the drug dealer that he had reached a cooperation with the winery, and that the winery would only buy medicinal materials from the pharmaceutical factory in the future.

As soon as he said this, the drug dealer understood what he meant. If he didn't agree to work for Luo Zining, then he would have no business.

The business in this city is not easy to do. All these years, he has just had enough food and clothing, and his life is better than others. If he becomes the director of the factory, will the situation be better than before?

He had heard how good Luo Zining was to the employees of the brick factory. Ordinary workers could live in separate houses, let alone the factory manager.

He didn't need to ask, Luo Zining had already mentioned the benefits of being the factory manager. Luo Zining said that he would set the rules and regulations in the factory, and the usual management would be handed over to the factory manager to manage according to the rules and regulations.

The factory manager has a fixed salary every month, and if he sells more, he will get dividends, and he will also give the factory manager shares.

The drug dealer was overjoyed when he heard that he had shares, so he agreed immediately.

After all, he used to work alone, depending on how much he earned, and he had to honor the magistrate after earning money. After he became the factory director of Luozining, he no longer had to be afraid of the magistrate.

They signed the contract right away, and Luo Zining talked about the general plan. His first task as the director of the pharmaceutical factory was to recruit people. He first recruited those retail investors who went to the mountain to collect medicines to the pharmaceutical factory and gave them a basic salary.And commission, the collected medicines will be commissioned according to the quantity and rarity, and houses will be allocated to those people.

He asked people to build a pharmaceutical factory, and also set aside a piece of land dedicated to growing medicinal materials, especially ginseng.

He has already thought about it, and when the time comes, two wines will be released, one is made of wild ginseng, and the other is made of artificially grown ginseng. If the prices of the two wines are raised, consumers of all grades can earn money.

After talking with the drug dealer, he found the owner of the cloth shop again.

The business of the owner of the cloth shop is cloth dyeing. He imports a batch of white cloth from other places, and then he comes back to dye and weave some cloth himself, but the quantity is not much.

As soon as the owner of the cloth shop arrived, he handed over the wool dyed last time to Luo Zining. He had done several experiments and this was the final product.

Luo Zining looked at it, and found that it was dyed very well, the color did not fade, and it was still very bright, which made him very satisfied.

He told the owner of the cloth shop that he wanted to open a factory. This factory specializes in dyeing cloth and wool.

The conditions are similar to those of the pharmaceutical factory just now, but the owner of the cloth shop has a secret recipe for dyeing cloth, so he said that the owner of the cloth shop can keep the secret recipe secret, and the shares will be given to him more.

The cloth shop owner's business has never been good. If Luo Zining hadn't been buying his fabrics for the past year, he would have been unable to survive.Hit him in the face.

He can't wait to agree immediately, and with the blessing of the palace, is he afraid that he won't be able to keep his family members?

Thinking of this made him sad, and he tentatively asked Luo Zining: "Can I make a request?"

Luo Zining nodded: "Let's listen and see if I can do it."

The boss of Buzhuang struggled for a while, and carefully told about his daughter. His daughter was working as a concubine at the magistrate. After so many years, he wondered if the magistrate must have gotten tired of it. Could he return his daughter.

He knew that his daughter's life must be very bad. He heard that she was often abused by the prefect. In addition, he heard that the prefect had killed Lin Heihu's sister and threw it into the lake. Back then, the prefect's favorite was Lin Heihu's daughter.Sister, the little concubine whom love so much will be killed if say so, let alone his daughter.

He thought it would be great if he could bring his daughter back. Even if his daughter never gets married and stays at home for the rest of her life, he is willing to raise her.

Luo Zining saw that the corners of his eyes were red when he mentioned his daughter, and his voice trembled, feeling sorry for him, "It's just a small effort, I will send a message to the magistrate in a while, and ask him to return your daughter."

"Really?" The boss of Buzhuang thought that there was no hope in this life. He didn't expect the princess to agree so quickly. He wiped the tears from his face: "Before I came, I told my family that I wanted to mention this to the princess.This matter, but my family stopped me from talking about it. They said that my daughter is married and belongs to someone else's family. It is unreasonable, unreasonable and even illegal for me to bring my daughter back, but as a father, I don't want to see it.Let the children suffer outside."

"I can understand that it's the prefect's bastard who did something dishonest, and he will get retribution." Luo Zining didn't just talk, he wanted the prefect to experience this retribution sooner or later, but not now, now they still have to rely onThe magistrate is covering up with the emperor.

...

The magistrate heard that Luo Zining wanted to leave his concubine for the sake of the owner of the cloth village. Although the magistrate was upset, he didn't dare to say anything.

He was upset because he felt that the princess took her away when she said that she would take her away. Wouldn't he have no status and face in front of the businessmen in the city in the future?

But what can he do if he doesn't listen to the princess?Is it still alive?

Although now he has to listen to the princess and the prince for everything, but the princess didn't do anything except ask him for money twice and ask him to return the concubine. He is quite free.

Besides, he has snatched the little concubine for several years, and he is tired of watching it, so he can send it back, he comforted himself, thinking of it as a favor for the concubine, maybe the concubine still thinks of him.

...

Soon it was autumn, Erniu and the others brought people back one after another, and there were quite a few people they brought back.

Luo Zining looked at the list they handed over. The total number of people was around 5,000. He thought it would be good to have a few hundred people, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.

He asked Er Niu how they publicized it?Er Niu and the few workers said that those foreign businessmen took them to a special recruiting place. There were many strong laborers who wanted to find a job.

But when those people heard that they were going to other places, and going to such a remote and remote place, they all dispersed. Then they yelled for a few days, and with the guarantee of those foreign businessmen, they finally persuaded these people.

They showed Luo Zining how they yelled, and when Luo Zining heard it, he felt like a pyramid scheme.

They also allocated houses, offered high wages, overtime pay, rest days, and distributed clothes for the three meals, which included meat and vegetables.

Although these conditions are true, but compared with the recruitment of other companies, it is almost like brainwashing through pyramid schemes, which really attracts many people who want to fight.

These people think that they are men anyway, and they will run back when they see that something is wrong after they come here. Many people come together.

It was just that they could only recruit men, not female workers, but they listened to Luo Zining's instructions, if they saw that kind of girl for sale, they would buy them, and he would arrange them in the factory when they came back. After working for three yearsJust let them get out of slavery, and they will have adapted to the good life here, and they are not afraid that they will want to escape if they get out of slavery.

Erniu and the others bought girls when they saw girls for sale along the way, and they also went to some local dental shops to buy a lot of them, and they bought more than 500 girls.

Only about 500 people were bought because Luo Zining only gave them the budget for these purchases, and if the budget was large, they could buy more.

After all, went to ten big cities, and the big cities sold more slaves.

Luo Zining heard that there were five hundred female workers, so there were more female workers in the textile factory.

He also plans to let Chen Da and his apprentices make a batch of textile machines, and then his textile factory will have several departments, including wool spinning department, clothing production department, and weaving department.

There used to be one hundred people, but now there are six hundred people in total. In a short time, the number of people in his textile factory is completely sufficient.

But for this city, there are still too few women.

He told Er Niu that he should put these people in the dormitory of the brick factory first, check the list with Chen Er, and then assign tasks.

The most important thing now is to double the size of the winery.

Then let them take advantage of the winter to build the cloth dyeing factory and the medicinal material factory, and the dormitory over there.

Then when the two factories are built, winter will come, and the brick factory can temporarily stop working, and everyone will go to the winery to make wine.

The girls bought were first arranged to go to the textile factory, let Xiaofeng manage it, and then arranged for them to pick the wool, sort out the impurities in the previously bought wool, comb it out, and then spin the wool.

After he finished speaking, let Er Niu and the others go back first. They were tired all the way, so they should rest for a few more days.

But Er Niu didn't leave, and looked at him expectantly.

Seeing him like this, Luo Zining thought of something: "Do you want to talk about the wedding? Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. It just so happens that the dormitories and houses of the textile factory have been built. We will hold a collective wedding in a few days. It just so happens thatThe new workers are here, let them see you too."

"Hey!" Er Niu yelled happily, and ran out quickly, not coming back for too long, he wanted to hurry to see Xiaofeng.

Luo Zining watched this normally stable young man become so crazy in front of love, and sighed: "It's nice to be young."

"Is it because you like to hold weddings for people so much because you were dissatisfied with our wedding at the beginning?" Huo Lingzhi appeared behind him in a wheelchair, "I remember, the day we got married, you kept a straight face,Not very happy."

"Am I the only one who was unhappy that day?" Luo Zining asked him back.

"Didn't the two of us dislike each other that day? Now the situation is different. Do you want to have a new wedding that you are satisfied with?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.

"How can there be any reason to hold a wedding?" Luo Zining pushed him back: "Okay, let's go back to eat, don't think about those useless things."

"I will give you a grand ceremony." Huo Lingzhi has already made up his mind to fight for the throne. In the future, he will become the emperor, and Luo Zining will naturally be the queen. He must hold a grand ceremony to make the queenLuo Zining married him gracefully.

The two of them were walking back when they heard Uncle Chen come over and say that Boss Cheng is here to talk to you about business.

"Let him come in." After Luo Zining chatted with Huo Lingzhi about business matters, he felt that Huo Lingzhi could be involved when dealing with business matters in the future.

Boss Cheng hurriedly ran in, and when he saw the lord, he quickly saluted the lord first, and then said something to Luo Zining: "Didn't I see autumn, and the food is almost here, so I want to go to the countryside to harvestSorghum, as a result, the price of sorghum rice this year has risen absurdly, a hundred times that of last year."

"How much?" Luo Zining thought he heard it wrong, "One hundred times? Isn't it ten times?"

Boss Cheng shook his head: "That's a hundred times, you heard me right."

Luo Zining was shocked. When he opened the winery last year, he thought that he could make money by selling the wine, and farmers could make money by growing grain and selling it to the winery.

Last year's grain prices were very low, so this year he is thinking of increasing the price by ten or eight times for them. Now that they have money in hand, they can live a better life, repair and repair their houses, and resist the snowstorm next year.

But how could it rise a hundred times in one breath?Although this price is not unacceptable, he always feels that it is very abnormal, "Do they think that the winery has made money, so the price of food will also increase? But if we charge such a high price of food, the cost will also increase.It won’t be worthwhile to sell wine at the previous price.”

Boss Cheng patted his thigh: "That's right, if they pay at this price, we might as well go out and sell some food back."

"But this goes against my original intention of wanting these villagers to improve their lives by selling grain. Tell them clearly that if they don't lower the price, we will go out and buy it. They will definitely lower the price."Yes." Luo Zining remembered that when he decided to make wine last year, he asked Boss Cheng to go to several villages to publicize and let them grow some sorghum rice. This year the winery will collect it. They must have a lot of sorghum rice in their hands. If the wineryIf they don’t accept it, the rice will be thrown into their hands. It’s a year of hard work for nothing, but if they charge it at the price they raised, it feels unreasonable.I feel that the winery is easy to bully, and they will accept the increase of 100 times, and the increase of 200 times or 300 times.

So Luo Zining felt that as long as he talked with them and threatened them that the price would not return to a reasonable price, they would go out of the city to buy grain from other places, and they would lower the price.

"You can agree within ten or fifteen times. Last year's price was ridiculously low because the demand was low, so the price couldn't be sold. This year, the market demand has increased, so the price will naturally rise accordingly." Luo ZiningI heard that many people in the village starved to death. Farming is hard work. People who farm the land can’t eat a full meal. This is too ironic. Who will farm in the future?Food is more important than any factory and business he is doing now.

But Boss Cheng said: "Princess, you don't know the situation here. There are no ordinary villagers here anymore. The land is all in the hands of the landlord. In the past, the villagers rented the land from the landlord and gave the landlord part of the grain.The rest are all their own, so that would be better. A few years ago, a natural disaster caused many people to starve to death. Those landlords decided not to rent land for the villagers to plant, but let these villagers sell themselves as slaves to the landlord.Farming, so that the landlord will give them a very small morsel of grain to eat, and they can use them like livestock, and they can kill them at will. But in order to survive natural disasters, the villagers can only agree that the villagers’ houses, fieldsEven the whole person belongs to the landlord's family, and the price of food cannot be decided by the villagers themselves, it is the landlords who unite and talk loudly."

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Zining was shocked, "The people in this fief are all the prince's subjects, why have they all become his slaves?"

Luo Zining turned his head to Huo Lingzhi's side. He remembered that the ancient hierarchy was very strict. For example, each class wore different colors of clothes, used carriages, lived in houses, and even had regulations on how many dishes to eat.If you violate your own regulations, you will be beheaded: "Can the landlord own so many slaves? Is the number too much? Is there any law that can control him?"

"There is such a rule, but we are far away from the emperor, and no one cares about it." Boss Cheng has a lot of servants in his family, and he doesn't want the prince and concubine to care about it, otherwise he is afraid that he will also be implicated.

Not only the number of servants, but also the size of the house. The law also stipulated how large a house a businessman could live in, and he could not take a carriage when going out, only a donkey cart or a mule cart.

The regulation of riding in a carriage was ignored by most businessmen, and no one took it seriously and it was quite loose. Everyone assumed that there was no such law. If the prince and concubine got serious, he was afraid of being dragged to jail.

"In such a remote place, with so many slaves raised, I think he wants to rebel and call the magistrate to arrest and interrogate all the landlords in those villages," Huo Lingzhi said coldly.

Boss Cheng was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, "My lord, why is there a rebellion involved? They use slaves to save costs, and the magistrates know about it, and they took their money to hide it for them. And today we are not talking aboutWhat about the price of grain, catch them, where can I buy the grain?"

"Do you still need to buy the unowned grain?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.

Boss Cheng was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, the prince is so scary, he seems to be even darker than the magistrate, so he will be labeled as a rebel, and he will not be able to provoke the prince in the future.

"Go back first, you don't need to participate in the next thing." Huo Lingzhi asked Boss Cheng to leave, and asked Uncle Chen to call the magistrate by the way.

When everyone left, Luo Zining asked him: "You, you really want to say that he rebelled? Will it implicate those villagers?"

"Isn't it okay if you don't report it to the court?" Huo Lingzhi asked him, "What did you want to do just now?"

"If I do what I want, I want every villager to be free and own their own land. It's a bit difficult to arrest the landlord." Luo Zining thought that this is the way of the times after all, and the landlord'sExistence is reasonable for this era, and he has no reason to kill the landlord and divide his fields.

"That's why I want to say that he rebelled. Every piece of this fief belongs to me and you. Anyone who wants to grab my land will have a dead end." Huo Lingzhi said.

Luo Zining: "After all, you are the biggest slave owner here. How can others go past you? However, I don't think the food can be taken for nothing. Those fields must be distributed to every villager so that they can regain their freedom.In addition to these, I also want to distribute the food equally to each of them."

Huo Lingzhi: "Do as you want."

"How about in a few days, let's go to the village? Give them the land or something, and go on an outing by the way. We haven't gone out to play this year. We didn't go out for a green outing before. This time it will be an autumn outing." Luo Zining said.His outing is fake, but it is true that he wants to understand the situation in the countryside. Only when he knows the specific situation can he know how to reform the situation in the village.
