Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 196 He Yan's Break with the Family ([-])

As the year approaches, those who engage in wars are still engaged in wars, those who engage in politics are still engaged in politics, and those who engage in money are of course still engaged in money.

He Yan was sitting in He Wu's hall, and below He Kui and Yin Lang were several thick and huge ledgers.

"All the calculations are done, every one of He Wu's waiters must be correct."

What is recorded in the ledger is not He Wu's expenses this year, but the wages of He Wu's waiters.

Because most of Hewu's waiters are of undecided rank, unknown salary, and unclear number of people, the salary distribution is also extremely sloppy. Everyone can only pay [-]% higher than the market workshop.

The amount of work is huge, but it is good for those waiters. Even He Kui said with emotion after the calculation: "The owner's move is enough to be regarded as the best of benevolence and righteousness."

He Yan:? ? ?
He Kui glanced contemptuously: "Everyone sells their labor to me, and I distribute their salaries to everyone. This is obviously a very normal thing. How come it becomes my benevolence in your mouth?"

He Kui's flattery was afraid of hitting the horse's legs, which made He Kui's eyes wander to other places unconsciously.

"You have a share too!"

He Yan threw out another account book: "The He clan members and Yin clan members you brought will be calculated as twice the salary of other people."

Yin Lang swallowed his saliva, and the tears in his eyes were about to drip: "What does the Patriarch mean? Could it be that he treats us as outsiders?"

He Yan narrowed his eyes: "Cao Jie kicked your brains? You don't even want to give you money? Could it be that you want to embezzle and get big?"

These words scared Yin Min and quickly knelt down towards He Yan: "Patriarch! We have absolutely no intention of doing this! Every amount of money and food in the Patriarch's account book is clearly recorded. It is absolutely impossible for us to do anything to deceive Patriarch!"

He Yan sighed.

Logically speaking, both He Kui and Yin Min are real "cultural people", but why are they more stubborn than some illiterate peasants?
Do things - give money.

With such a simple employment relationship, why do you have to add something else?
Could it be that people have voted for their feelings for nothing, and they are not happy if others don't vote for them?
"Take it! If you don't want to take it, get out!"

He Yan was really depressed.

If possible, he would rather hope that people like He Kui would come to him with wooden sticks on their backs and ask for wages, instead of asking them to accept the money like begging his grandpa to sue his grandma.

"Also, in the future, He Wu's waiter's salary will be paid once a month! Don't delay until the Chinese New Year every time, or what will other aristocratic families think if you talk about it?"

Yin Min was a little puzzled: "Other families?"

Don't make trouble, He Yan is the only one who pays the waiter's salary. How can anyone dare to mock He Yan?

"In the future, they will give it sooner or later... Besides, what is the difference between this and the wages of those people in the workshop?"

Speaking of workshops, He Yan thought of the two factories he opened.

Textiles, furniture.

The profits of these two factories may not be so high now, but they almost gave a sample to the Xuchang family, letting them know how to go in the two basic directions of the workshop.

"It's been a year, and I haven't paid attention to the movement of these two workshops."

For the workshop owner, this is undoubtedly unqualified.

"Idle is idle, bring the ledgers of the two factories and let me have a look."

But when He Kui brought the two ledgers in front of He Yan, He Yan almost spit out his own saliva.

"Why... so little money?"

Ever since He Yan became a shareholder of Zhongyuan Grain Shop, he has actually looked down on the small amount of money from the workshop.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it. From the income scale of your own workshop, He Yan can roughly estimate the profits of other workshops.

If the profits of all the mill owners are so low, do you think the gang of uneducated people will go back to the fields to enslave the people?
"Come with me to the workshop."

He Kui and Yin Lang saw that He Yan's expression was not very good, they didn't care about the account books in their hands, and followed He Yan to the workshop near Hewu.

Now the layout of the entire city of Xuchang has basically formed a dual core of the main city of Xuchang and Hewu.

On the other side of the main city of Xuchang, there are garrisoned elite military camps and a large amount of farmland, which is basically no different from other large agricultural cities.

On Hewu's side, apart from the most central Hewu and Hewu Seventh Courtyard, there are a large number of workshops all over the place.

Weaving, papermaking, and countless light industry workshops have built an unprecedented but vibrant scene.

"its not right!"

This scene that should have pleased He Yan made He Yan even more confused.

"According to the income from my workshop, shouldn't the current workshop be dying? Why is the current workshop still so prosperous?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
He Yan looked back suspiciously at He Kui and Yin Lang: "I said, you are not really corrupt, are you?"

The two people who were frightened by these words swayed on a sunny day: "No! Absolutely not!"

He Yan also began to waver in his heart, but in order not to wish the two of them, he still made a special trip to his workshop.

Ok.

People are still those people.

But basically they are not working!

"what happened?"

He Yan did not lose his temper in a hurry, but called several persons in charge of the workshop to inquire about the situation.

These people were all members of the Deng clan that He Yan followed Cao Ren from near Xinye. They were close friends with He Yan. After seeing He Yan, they immediately complained to He Yan——

"Marquis Shen! It's not that I don't work hard! It's really hard to sell things!"

If something cannot be sold, there is no need to reproduce it. This principle cannot be simpler.Even Yang Xiu came to him because of this matter, and eventually led to the birth of a commercial bank and Cao Pi Bank.

"I see."

He Yan lost his hurry immediately.

"When the commercial bank is opened and there is circulation, things will naturally be sold."

Just when He Yan thought the matter was settled, the person in charge of the workshop smiled wryly——

"Marquis Shen, it's not because we produce too many things that we can't sell them, but because we sell them at too high a price!"

He Yan:? ? ?
Don't talk nonsense, hey!
The prices of the workshop goods are set by me personally!
Excluding the cost, He Yan's workshop is entirely for charity!How could there be a problem with the price being too high?
Fortunately, a person beside him explained to He Yan: "It's not that our price is too expensive, but that the price of those gangsters is too low!"

Turtle grandson?

After He Yan inquired, he found out that the so-called "Grandson of the Turtle" was a workshop opened by other aristocratic families.

"its not right!"

He Yan asked again in surprise: "I'm almost selling out at the cost price, how cheap can they be?"

"Why can't it be cheaper?"

The person in charge of the workshop seemed to be resentful when he said this: "Marquis Shen, our workshop pays a person a minimum salary of [-] yuan a month, but they don't need to pay salary at all. If you come and go again and again, the money will be saved. Yet?"

Weed?

Everyone in He Yan was dumbfounded.

"No salary? Are those people trying to starve the people to death?"

When the people were in the fields, no matter how exploited they were, they could still have some food left in their hands to live on.

But now that the common people have come to the workshops, what they produce is no longer food, but individual commodities. If they are still skinned at this time, won't this be forcing the common people to death?

"They don't care about that!"

The person in charge of the workshop has long seen through those gangsters.

"Anyway, the government will take care of it in the end, and they don't need to be responsible for those common people!"

He Yan:? ? ?
At this moment, He Yan himself was a little dizzy.

After He Yan recovered, He Yan gritted his teeth: "Don't those people know to come to us? Don't we pay them lower salaries than others?"

But as soon as he asked, He Yan regretted it.

The people kidnapped by clans and bloodlines have not yet evolved to the point where they "only recognize money".

Sometimes, maybe just because of a word from the elders, they have to give up their salary of two hundred yuan, and choose to find a salary of one hundred yuan or even no money.

Just like He Kui and Yin Lang.

When He Yan wanted to pay them wages, the two behaved as if He Yan wanted to kill them, as if He Yan paid them a salary to hurt the feelings of the bloodlines of both clans...

"Not so good!"

He Yan rubbed his chin and said to himself: "If this goes on like this, there will be big trouble!"

Although He Yan knew that the aristocratic family had no morals, he didn't know that they had no morals to this point!

What about "benevolence"?What about "love the people"?In the end, Duren ended up in the dog's belly?

"In my name, send invitations to several big families in Xuchang, and invite them to come to Hewu."

Because they are all a community of interests, everyone basically did not lose face to He Yan, and they all came to He Wu according to the agreed time.

He Yan was not polite to them either. After exchanging a few simple greetings, he directly revealed the workshop's problems.

"Everyone."

He Yan knocked on the table: "Workshops are not farmland! The previous method is no longer applicable!"

In the era of big landlords, there must have been no landlords who distributed money to their tenants.Because in their philosophy, the owner of the farmland itself is themselves, and letting the tenants plant on their own farmland is a great gift in itself, and taking away the output of the tenants is even more justified.

For thousands of years, such a relationship has maintained the lives of the big landowners, which also makes them think that this relationship can be grafted into the workshop.

But He Yan told them - no way!
"First! People will starve to death if they don't eat! This is a truth that everyone understands! Don't expect anyone to wipe your ass!"

"Second! Since everyone's goal is to pull down the one sitting upright, you have to bear the consequences of pulling him down!"

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Everyone wants to eat the cake of imperial power, but while eating the cake, we must also shoulder the responsibility.

This so-called "responsibility" is to carry the most basic survival of the people.

It is impossible to say that the power is taken away, but nothing is assumed, and the people are still thinking of throwing the people as a burden to the government. What is the point of killing the imperial power?

The ultimate source of power is always the people.

Even in the eyes of these aristocratic families, the common people are just rotten fish and shrimps, a "human mine", that is just their superficial and ignorant cognition.

If the common people are really thrown away, then the common people will definitely make this group of aristocratic families die ugly!

"third!"

When He Yan said this, his tone was particularly heavy: "Everyone who can sit here must be willing to support Xinxue."

"The concept of the new learning has never been to turn the people from pigs in the farmland to pigs in the workshop!"

"If anyone continues to be obsessed with obsession, then I can only say sorry."

Stiff, unfamiliar, and without tenderness.

He Yan's words made everyone feel like they had eaten a fly, and they remained silent for a long time.

Xun Lingjun, who is used to being a courtesan, stood up and relieved the embarrassment for everyone——

"What Marquis Shen said is indeed somewhat reasonable. After you go back, you should also supervise the people below you. Don't be too harsh! After all, everyone understands the principle of "fishing from the river", so you don't need me, an old man, to explain it to you again, right? "

With Xun Lingjun's hot scene, everyone felt better, and started pushing glasses again.

After the guests had dispersed, Xun Yu came to He Yan's side and reminded him: "What Marquis Shen said today is a bit too much, just now there are many people who are your elders in terms of seniority, your attitude is indeed a bit colder."

He Yan frowned: "Mr. Xun Ling, this is really not a junior's abruptness."

"Once the people in those workshops realize that they have nothing now, guess what will happen?"

At that time, not only the new society will collapse, but even Cao Cao's power will collapse!

More importantly, once the worst result occurs, Xinxue will be completely stared at as a pillar of shame, making latecomers think that Xinxue is an "evil way", and no one will try Xinxue again!

"Marquis Shen, I understand your worries! But some things, as long as they don't happen, are not things!"

"Ok?"

At this moment, He Yan looked at Xun Yu with strange eyes: "Xun Lingjun, what does this mean?"

Xun Yu had no choice but to remind a little deeper:
"Last time about the blood transfusion that caused the destruction of the clan's bloodline, Xinxue has already provoked a lot of people's dissatisfaction."

"Although you, Marquis Shen, later used the King of the East China Sea as an introduction to let His Majesty come out to suppress the matter, everyone agreed that you, Marquis Shen, were too radical in doing the facts."

"Marquis Shen, I'm also your elder in private, and I'm here to remind you—"

There was an indescribable light in Xun Yu's eyes: "New learning, now it's not just the new learning of Marquis Shen alone."

"If Marquis Shen goes too far in certain things, then some people may really have to think about who should lead the new study!"

He Yan felt unprecedented absurdity at this moment.

"You...are trying to kick me out?"

It is obvious that the new learning was cultivated by He Yan, but now, not to mention the fruit, but just a little bit of foundation, some people are starting to think about kicking He Yan out of the new learning camp?
Xun Yu also sighed.

"Everyone didn't mean that."

"However, Marquis Shen must not be so capricious in the future."
