Chapter 61 Thank You Energy

The idiot Chu Tianshu came to the frog shop where the three of them often met. It was already 10:30.

The two girls bought a lot of snacks today, and when Chu Tianshu arrived, there were already a lot of bones and shells piled up in front of them.

Obviously, the two have been waiting for a long time.

"Why are you here so late today?" Gu Feixue asked dissatisfied.

"Some temporary things today." Chu Tianshu took a nut, broke open the shell, and handed the pulp to Gu Feixue.

Gu Feixue ate it with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" while chewing, and asked, "What is it?"

"Miss Six asked me to help her restructure the factory." Chu Tianshu said, "In order to increase revenue."

"Increase revenue?" Gu Feixue looked Chu Tianshu up and down: "Can you have that ability?"

"I'm sure I don't have one." Chu Tianshu shook his head, "So we still need the help of the lovely Miss Gu."

Xie Ningzi opened her mouth several times to speak during this period.

Gu Feixue saw it in his eyes and smiled on his face.

"You want to ask me for help?" Gu Feixue smiled: "Then you must have a begging attitude, right?"

"It takes some time to make skateboards and roller skates," Chu Tianshu said.

Of course, the production of skateboards and roller skates has not yet started.

"It's not that." Gu Feixue yelled: "I spent money to buy those two, and they were originally mine. Do you want you to please me with my things?"

"What does Miss Gu mean?" Chu Tianshu stretched out his head.

"I'll test you first, do you think there is any difference today?" Gu Feixue raised his head.

Chu Tianshu looked each other up and down.

Apart from changing clothes every day, he didn't see any difference.

When he looked sideways, he saw Xie Ningzi and felt amazed.

The girl seems to have changed her makeup today, her face is still pretty, but her eyes seem to be brighter than yesterday, and the corners of her eyes seem to have a more pink color like peach blossoms. With the light yellow dress on her body, it looks a little more ordinary There is no charm.

Xie Ningzi noticed Chu Tianshu's gaze, and immediately burst into a sweet smile.

"Miss Gu doesn't seem to have changed much, she's still very cute."

"Hmph." Gu Feixue sneered: "You dare to say that, your eyes are glued to other people, of course you can't see my changes."

"Eh..." Chu Tianshu smiled awkwardly: "So what is Miss Gu different from usual?"

"Nowhere." Gu Feixue said flatly, "I never asked you to look at me."

The little girl said calmly: "Can you notice her makeup? Can you see the difference?"

"Ah."

"Then it's not in vain for her to get up early in the morning to choose clothes, and then sit in front of the mirror for two hours. She doesn't dare to open her mouth wider when eating."

As Gu Feixue said, he began to eat the frog in big mouthfuls.

Xie Ningzi blushed with embarrassment.

Chu Tianshu looked at Xie Ningzi.

The mind may indeed be felt.

There is someone who is so dedicated to himself, and he really feels very comfortable in his heart.

But at the age and status of the other party, Chu Tianshu didn't dare to have the slightest reverie.

He just smiled at her, and turned his eyes away.

Seeing this, Xie Ningzi just laughed.

"Stupid, I don't know what the two of you are thinking." Gu Feixue said contemptuously, "How big is the factory you are in charge of?"

"670 people, it's a small factory, a steel factory, but its main business is gun orders from the imperial court."

"Is that so?" Gu Feixue frowned, "July [-]st is Yuanwang Festival."

"Is there any problem with Yuanwang Festival?" Chu Tianshu asked.

It is now June eighteenth.

Dayun Dynasty has 24 days in a month, and there are only six days left.

However, although the Yuanwang Festival is a big festival, there is no rule that workers are not allowed to work, right?

"At the beginning of July, that is the day of Yuanwang Festival." Gu Feixue explained: "The imperial court will hold a meeting at the beginning of the month."

"I heard that the parliament has decided to go to war."

"On Yuanwang's Day, it's probably the time for the 'Proposal of the Kings' to submit the battle plan and start date for the next six conferences."

"The delivery of the order stopped?"

"That's right." Gu Feixue nodded: "No. 15 seems to have stopped after that day."

Chu Tianshu frowned: "Then..."

"The factory you are in charge of... besides the order from the imperial court, are there any other orders?"

"It seems that there are none." Chu Tianshu shook his head.

Chiyang Iron and Steel Works survived purely on orders from the imperial court.

Without the order from the imperial court, this small factory is not very competitive if it is placed on the market.

"Then there is another way." Xie Ningzi said at this time.

"What?" Gu Feixue was puzzled.

What she doesn't know, can Xie Ningzi, who stays at home all day doing homework, know?

What can she do?
"Do you know about Cenyang County?"

Cenyang County.

If I remember correctly, it should be Xie Ningzi's father, Xie Qingyun's... jurisdiction?
"Isn't Cenyang County your father's jurisdiction before?" Gu Feixue asked, "I remember your father was the chief minister of that place before."

"Yes." Xie Ningzi said, still feeling a little sad: "My dad was indeed there before... Bailiu Province, Bailiu Province in Cenyang County, suffered from drought last year."

"During the drought, a large number of farmers sold their land in order to survive and were on the verge of bankruptcy."

Chu Tianshu remembered.

Qi Yingzhi seemed to have mentioned this matter to herself.

But it was just that...

"These farmers, when my father was alive..." Xie Ningzi said sadly: "...my father often said that there is no way to help them keep their own fields. It is he who is the secretary who is sorry for those farmers. .”

"But since farmers have gone bankrupt, their next step is to enter factories, become workers, and support their families."

"so……"

"So the factories over there have tax incentives?" Chu Tianshu asked.

Generally speaking, when the government encounters such a situation, the first reaction is to reduce or exempt taxes to ensure people's livelihood.

Since there is no way to stop land annexation, it may be better to change the way of thinking and gather the land-lost peasants in agriculture to industry.

"Yes." Xie Ningzi nodded: "I remember what my dad said at the time, he wanted to open more spinning mills over there, and the government and some private landlords would jointly run the spinning mills, and give preferential treatment to acres of land and agricultural taxation. And temporarily open private lending qualifications, and ask local landlords to use the money to set up factories."

Giving preferential treatment and mobilizing social resources to provide jobs is a legitimate way.

"Besides, before my father passed away, he also asked for the quota of the spinning mill, so the cloth from the spinning mill will not worry about selling."

"So, we want to build looms?" Chu Tianshu nodded, "Is that so?"

"That's right!" Xie Ningzi looked at Chu Tianshu with a sweet smile on her face: "You are amazing, you have already thought of it before I even said it."

Chu Tianshu patted her hand: "Which part of the loom needs to be made by the steel factory? Is there any specific specification?"

Xie Ningzi shook her head: "Not yet."

"I actually don't know much about it."

"But I can ask someone."

Chu Tianshu looked at Xie Ningzi.

"It's my father's former friend. If you ask him for money, he may not have it, but he will not help with such a small matter."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get the order and specifications for you."

Chu Tianshu looked at Xie Ningzi.

really!

No wonder Qi Weizhi would say that after marrying her, everything would go smoothly.
