Villager of Daming

Chapter 676 The technical extension of officialdom struggle
Half an hour later, the head came out of the sacrificial hall, putting his hands on his temples and rubbing them slowly.

He also muttered: "We are really not good. The people at the top can't play well, but the people at the bottom are still far behind. I thought the officials in Xuancheng County all help each other!"

After muttering, he looked around, shook his head and looked at things in the village, thinking as he walked.

Hanhan briefly talked about several real local development situations. The previous ones were all about agriculture, which are most closely related to the people.

When officials go to local areas, in addition to developing the primary industry, they also need to develop secondary industries, that is, industry and handicrafts.

The various factories built by the village on the south bank of the Qinhuai River are labor-intensive handicraft industries and require a large number of manpower.

Whichever county the factory is moved to will become richer. As long as county officials don't cause trouble, political achievements will be directly achieved.

As a local official, he is not the district chief, but the county magistrate is the foundation.

Then a qualified local official, in addition to teaching the people about planting and breeding, must also develop industry.

One of the ways is to introduce external funds and find businessmen to invest in the county. Why should the businessmen go?
The first thing to do is to describe a good future for businessmen, no, it is to describe the bright future, such as the population of the county, what are the natural resources, low difficulty of mining, and convenient transportation.

If the businessman still doesn't agree, you can tell the businessman that the tax will be exempted for three years from the beginning of production, and then it will be reduced by half for the next three years, or it can be exempted for five years.

Taxes on investment merchants are not important. People have more jobs and more income. If people want to consume, they will receive business taxes on consumption.

The businessman was deceived, no, impressed, and decided to invest in building a factory. The county magistrate had said that the ground in the factory area would be leveled and the roads would be repaired if they looked bad.

Moreover, there is a river next to it, and a water-powered spinning wheel can be set up. The county will set aside wasteland specifically for cotton cultivation.

The merchants built waterwheels and other things in the past, and when they were ready to harvest hemp, cotton, spin thread, and weave cloth, the chief bookkeeper sued the county magistrate.

The chief bookkeeper said that the county magistrate colluded with profiteers and harmed the people in the county. He clearly wanted to collect taxes, but the magistrate and the profiteers conspired to get rid of him.

Moreover, due to the emergence of water-powered textiles, the people in the county who relied on weaving for a living were cut off from their livelihood.

If you take it a step further, it can be said that it is like raising cattle at home and being tricked by the county magistrate into letting others herd cattle.

When this copy of the title was passed to Zhu Yuanzhang, I believe it would play a certain role.

The question above is, is it tax-free?Really?Do ordinary people who weave cloth at home have to work in merchants' factories?Really?

Okay, catch him.

There was no magistrate in the county for a while. The chief registrar was promoted, and other local officials advanced together.

Turning his head, the promoted chief clerk told the merchant not to be afraid. The tax had to be paid, one-thirtieth, but the hemp and cotton collected could be one-twentieth cheaper.

Then one-sixtieth of the extra profit can be divided among the officials, and the bookkeeper's struggle is successful.

The other is that the county magistrate cannot trick businessmen into investing, so he plans to use a fund-raising method. Some people in the county will pool money to build a factory.

Moreover, the chief clerk is also sent from above, so if the two of them can cooperate, there will be no problems.

Once the factory was built, the county magistrate was local, and the co-financiers asked to withdraw their capital. The money had already been spent, and the county magistrate and bookkeeper couldn't get it out.

The people jointly filed a petition, saying that the magistrate and the bookkeeper forced the people to borrow money to do business. As a result, no one worked and the people could no longer survive.

The above asked, are the people required to pay?Really?Is there no one to work in the factory?Really?Okay, pack it up.

Two officials were arrested, and the county magistrate came up with people to find work for the local people. After making money, they could become corrupt.The fund-raising operation has been deceived, so another idea is to change the idea and let the yamen provide the money, which belongs to the government.

For example, when making water-powered textiles, don't the common people have to do corvée for one month every year?Just do this, go cut the wood in the mountains, buy the iron, and you owe the blacksmith money first.

After the construction is completed, the Yamen will pay to purchase cotton and flax, and then recruit workers.

This time, the county magistrate, chief registrar, county magistrate, and dianshi all came from the same group and were sent from above.

The clerks and government servants were both locals. They had worked for many years and when they saw an opportunity to make a fortune, they joined forces.

They told the neighbors and villagers not to sell hemp and cotton, as the same prices outside were high, and no notices were posted anywhere except at the yamen entrance.

As long as you persist for a month, you can appeal, saying that the yamen allows people to serve in order to benefit the officials from doing business, and that they do not pay wages to recruit workers.

The above investigation asked, did the people repair textiles while they were doing corvee work?Really?Are they not recruiting workers and not paying them?Really?tidy.

As soon as the four people left, the low-level officials and government servants who controlled the entire county government could start work before the new officials took office. The people were owed cotton, hemp money, and wages first, and they would be paid after they were sold out.

It seems that this government-run operation is no longer viable, so is there any way to build this hydraulic textile factory?have!

Let the people doing business in the county choose someone with a flexible mind, lend him money, and let him or a few people handle it.

This money can be paid by the government, or it can be paid by someone with an official guarantee, and the interest per month must not exceed three cents.

Is there any danger in doing this?It depends on whether the people in the county government are united, otherwise they will report a certain official for contacting businessmen privately for profit...

Therefore, if you want to be a good official who works for the people and develops the local economy, you must first handle the internal affairs of your yamen properly, otherwise all methods will be useless.

The head of the district was frightened. It was too difficult. No wonder Hanhan had asked Ji Jin to give gifts to all officials, including officials and government officials, and also to the other five counties in Ningguo Prefecture.

Everything is done to allow the village to develop and grow normally, and all benefits will be provided. Other officials will fight, and those who win the fight will come back to cause trouble for Xiaqiu Village.

"Xiaqiu Village has survived. Do other places need to go through various struggles?"

The head of the village muttered to himself again and came to the place where glass is made in the village.

The transparent glass process has never been handed over, which is the application of lead oxide.

The manufacturing technology of mirrors is also in the hands of the people of Xiaqiu Village. No one cares about what Xiaqiu Village wants, only the finished mirrors.

Blowing glass all the time is too tiring for the people in Xiaqiu Village and is not good for their health.

The bad copper coins collected before contain a lot of tin, plus the tin mined and purchased tin.

When the quantity was sufficient, the technology began to upgrade, directly skipping the flat glass manufacturing method of pouring glass solution onto the iron plate, and adopting the float manufacturing method of tin solution.

The principle is that the density of liquid tin is greater than the density of glass solution. When the glass solution is poured on the liquid tin, it flows around like water poured on a flat table.

It will gradually become flat as it flows. Add tools to take out the flat glass.

It has not yet been fully perfected. It must be operated manually, take a look, and wait for Hanhan to come up with other technologies.

In this way, unless you are making handicrafts, you don’t need to blow it anymore, and everyone’s health is guaranteed.
