Chapter 1222 Bottleneck

The treatment given by Qingu to the workers is not bad in this hour and space. Those who are close can go back to their homes to rest and have lunch at noon, and those who are far away can live in the dormitory with three meals.

The pharmaceutical workshop and the textile workshop have a total of nearly 200 employees, most of whom are women, tenant farmers, and little girls from nearby villages.

There is a room for every four people, with bathroom, wardrobe and so on.

If you eat it, steamed buns and porridge in the morning, two dishes at noon, which must be meaty, and a vegetarian dish in the evening... This kind of life is nothing more than that even if it falls into a relatively wealthy family.

In any case, the reputation of Qingu's workshop has improved, the cohesion has been established, and the funds have been obtained. Now the only thing left is to improve the production.

Qingu itself knows nothing about cotton spinning, but it doesn't matter, Xiao Z has a huge database, and recommends some very practical improvement methods based on the production level of this hour and space.

Qingu spread the word through "inadvertently" "providing some suggestions" to skilled technicians, and then invested a lot of money and time to improve the machines and processes.

Improvement takes time and practice, so Yaofangzhang has been making money to maintain the operation of the entire Ziying Group for more than a year, and the textile workshop has been losing money.

In fact, Qingu can also directly pass on the production technology retrieved by Xiao Z and this hour and space, but this does not match the identity of the entrusting party, and the advancement of technology requires everyone to work step by step.

If everyone finds out through practice step by step, they will have a greater sense of accomplishment and belonging.

So just lose money if you lose money, she can afford this cost.

Although a lot of investment was made, the final results are very touching. After a few months of investment, the production speed and quality have improved a lot.

Even if the cotton cloth is sold at a lower than par price, there will be a part of the surplus, and it will soon occupy the market.

A year later, the cotton spinning workshop not only earned back the money invested before, but also had more savings.

In two years, Qingu successively established Ziying Medicine Workshop and Ziying Textile Workshop, gaining both fame and fortune.

If the former Ziying Pharmacy touched a small group of interests and broke the monopoly position of men in society, but at the same time they are also the group that "benefits the most", so there is not much resistance to Qingu.

Then the Ziying Textile Workshop established by Qingu really touches the root of patriarchal thinking in this society.

She is a girl, and to those who "know her well", she is not only a girl, but also a slave, a slave abandoned by her master.

In just two years, not only was he on an equal footing with men, but he even had the momentum to step on top of nobles.

This is by no means what they want to see.

At this time, the competition among all parties pushed the Ziying Group in Qingu to the cusp.

For a tasker with golden fingers, dealing with conspiracies should not be too simple.

As long as Qingu thinks: the system can plan ahead and calculate who is behind the scenes and who is the real mastermind behind the scenes; the skills can allow her to completely eliminate those who are behind the scenes and those who threaten her life...

Moreover, because of the booming business of the pharmaceutical workshop and textile workshop, she has become a veritable major taxpayer in Lu County.

That's right, a big taxpayer. Even for the sake of paying so much tax, the imperial court will not kill all such ATMs. Of course, there are things that can't be imagined, and it is impossible for Qingu to let them kill him.

As Qingu became more and more invested in this hour and space, she gradually realized that the government can only collect taxes from a very small number of people.

Those who are famous, beggars, monks and those who serve in the military do not have to pay taxes.

This is easy to understand. The imperial court wants to reward everyone for studying and military service, so there is no need to pay taxes. Beggars don’t have to pay anything, of course. As for the monks, based on their shallow knowledge, they thought that like their original world, they all depended on the offerings of believers and had little surplus, so they didn’t have to pay taxes. Later, Qingu realized that the articles in it were too big after the reality cognition and small Z science popularization.

Still others occupy most of the land without paying taxes: bureaucrats, landowners, nobles.

These people have a lot of fertile land, and of course they can't grow it themselves, so they lease it to tenant farmers for planting. The tenant farmers don't have to pay taxes to the court, but pay the taxes to these "landlords."

Take the Huang family as an example. The Dafang has a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, who not only enjoys various preferential treatment.

The Huang family has more than 1,000 mu of land in Lu County. The direct management of the four farms is generally managed by the family with children, and most of the various crops produced in it are used for the life of the Huang family.

There is still more land that cannot be managed by tenant farmers to plant, and they only need to sit and collect rent.

Therefore, a large number of slaves and tenants depend on these "big families" to survive, and sometimes they even pay more rent than the imperial court. Even so, there is no way for most poor people. They have no land of their own, and because of system restrictions, no one dares to move these noble lands unless they buy them themselves. Of course, even if they managed to save some money, they might not be able to buy land, or land of good quality.

Therefore, if the master lowered their taxes a little bit, they would of course be grateful to the master and follow the lead of the master.

... All in all, this is the real reason why the imperial court can't collect much money even though the tax is not low in such a big country.

Qingu can deal with those conspiracies, but after all, she has touched the cake of the deep-rooted bureaucratic landlord class, and all the workshops that have assembled to boycott her—let all the tenant farmers under her control not sell cotton to her. They even mobilized the people below to provoke the workers in the Qingu workshop and make them make trouble.

The latter is easy to handle, as long as you have a little head, you will know what to do.

The key to the problem lies in the raw materials.

The nobles monopolized the land and also monopolized the production of raw materials. If there is no raw material, they can still produce p.

After all, Lu County is only a small county on the fourth and fifth tiers, and most of the land is in the hands of those nobles. They knew that they could not destroy Qingu by making small moves, so they mobilized the tenant farmers on their own land to refuse to sell things to Qingu.

Although the conditions offered by Qingu were better than those offered by the market, but as mentioned earlier, the tenant farmers were dependent on these nobles. One sentence can put their whole family in a desperate situation.

When Qingu chose to fight for a piece of sky that truly belonged to her for this small space-time woman, she had expected the current situation.

If Qingu wants to break the monopoly of land and raw materials by the aristocracy, it must let them release the land.

How can we get them to release the land?

A plan appeared in Qingu's mind.

This idea has been circling for a long time, and today it is finally on the agenda—destroy them!
