The people who benefit the most from the new system are all the merchants, Mao's.
Under previous rules, Mao's could only deal in some, for example, very small commodities.
And now they can handle most of Xinyi's top-quality products.
Except for things like salt and wine.
They had long wanted to become big businessmen like the Su family and travel among various towns.
This matter was one of the things Xin discussed with the heads of several small tribes a few days ago.
Mao's son Mao Bian followed Xin You in selling wine and knew that Xin You had mastered a new wine-making technology.
The money earned using this technology is more than what they, the Mao family, earn in a year!
If he can follow the Yi doctor and sell this kind of wine, then Mao's family will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Mao Yi, the head of the Mao clan, weighed the pros and cons and chose to side with Xin You.
He took the risk to tell the story about Fan Boyu in the bearskin, just to tear apart the long-standing shortcomings of Xinyi and put them in front of the people.
Then Xin used those written contracts as a threat to force the three elders to back down and agree to his plan.
Xin did this again because he had his own deep-seated considerations.
Xinyi is not a big city, so as long as you sell good wine, you can make a lot of money.
Businessmen's taxes are just a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing is that through this incident, the Chinese people will definitely feel disgusted with the three elders and their children, nephews and relatives.
The three elders initially opposed Xin You's distribution of grain, but later the scandal about Fan Boyu broke out.
Some side branches who were of the same clan as the three elders but were not close to each other had unknowingly started to side with Xin You.
Even the close relatives of the three elders began to have some understanding of what these people were doing, and their neutrality turned into disgust.
The most important thing is that Xinyou has prepared enough food so that they can survive the winter without relying on these large households.
The three elders have lost their greatest support, and they have also lost the hearts and minds of the people.
Xin You only needed a little guidance and a plan that he had already thought of, so he naturally won the support of the vast majority of the Chinese people.
Especially the small families headed by the Mao family and the Du family.
They tasted the sweetness and naturally turned to support Xin You.
Some Chinese people also decided to side with Xin You, especially those who were persecuted by the three elders and their families.
The three elders no longer interfere with Xin Yi's business, and they have lost a channel to make money. This is second to none.
The main thing is that the status of the three elders in the hearts of the Chinese people is already shaky.
Xin began to plan again to find a suitable opportunity to completely drive these three old guys out of Xinyi's inner circle!
With money in his hands and the hearts of the people, if he can't defeat these three old guys, then Xin You, a time traveler, shouldn't even think about becoming a man of the hour.
This is how the people's discussion ended.
Fan Mi, Yin Rong and Xin Wuzuo left dejectedly.
With so many Chinese people here, they don't dare to check those documents and deeds.
However, Xin did not mention this matter again, and treated it as if it did not exist.
"There has never been a city official who dared to threaten us with a written deed..." Fan Mi said through gritted teeth.
"Situ, this doctor is different from before, we have to pay attention." Yin Rong said: "If we treat him as a nerd again, we will still suffer a loss."
"Lord Sikong, you are right." Fan Mi said, "Why don't you come to my house for a while tonight?"
"But, it's best to call the Xin family again."
The two agreed that after Xin Wuzuo heard about it, he would quickly inform Xin Jin.
The managers of the three major families reunited after many years.
…
Xin's main hall.
Xin You was also discussing some matters with the three family heads, Mao, Du and Hu.
The Mao family represents the merchant class in Xinyi. Although there are not many, they are very important.
Xin You decided to let Mao be the agent for all businesses in Xinyi except salt and wine. Such benefits made Mao's family owner lament that they were too much!
Because of Du Gan's relationship, Du Shi stood on Xin You's side from the beginning, and Xin You also decided to hand over the brewing of Xinyi Tianqing Liquor to Du Gan.
The rest of the Hu family were still swaying on both sides.
"There are only a dozen of us in the Hu family, and we all make a living by farming. The most important thing is...our farmland is all downstream of the Fan family."
The head of the Hu family, Hu Yong, had a sad face.
Xin also wanted these three families to send their young children to the rural school to learn Chinese characters and mathematics.
The Mao and Du families naturally had no problems, but the Ping family became in trouble.
If they offend Fan, they may not even have water next year.
"Hu Yong, haven't you been bullied enough by the Fan family?" Mao Yidao said: "The water from Xinqu can be used by all the families in Xinyi. Why is it that their Fan family uses it first every year, and you, the Mao family, use it last? Woolen cloth?"
"The Fan family has a much larger population than our Hu family!" Hu Yong said: "Your fields are not in the same place. You don't know how difficult it is for me."
"Either you, the Hu family, can do business with us, the Mao family, and we will turn you all into merchants." Mao said.
"It's a beautiful idea! The merchants are in danger, but we farmers are the real ones." Hu Yong said: "How can I, Hu Yong, not know about the gentleman's kindness? It's just that our Hu family has a request from the Fan family, otherwise the Hu family will really not be able to cultivate the land next year. !”
Xin nodded again, what Hu Yong said was true.
The Xin family, the Fan family and the Yin family relied on their population and geographical location to control these small families.
Xinqu is a ditch dug by Fan at that time, which can lead green water to the shady side of Xinling, so that the fields there can be irrigated.
Similarly, families that are irrigated by Xinqu will be controlled by the Fan family.
After all, they are upstream of Xinqu, and anyone who dares to disobey will have their water shut off.
The Hu family has been farmers for generations, and they cannot survive without water.
"What if... I allow you to reclaim wasteland by the Qingshui River?" Xin asked again.
"What?" Hu Yong thought he heard wrongly.
The land by the Qingshui River is all good land!
But what wasteland is there that can be reclaimed?
The most important thing is, where will it be their turn for the Hu family to open up those fertile lands?
"There is still a piece of wasteland in the south of Xinyi, under Tu'er Ridge." Xin said again: "It is close to the land of our Xin family. I can give you that piece of land to cultivate."
"Doctor Yi, did I hear you correctly? Fan and Xin Jin have long wanted to take advantage of that land, but because it belongs to you, Dr. Yi, they didn't dare..."
"I have the final say on my land." Xin added: "Anyway, few of our clan can farm. You Hu family are good at farming, so I will lend you that land. Apart from that land, our family has You can also farm."
"This..." Hu Yong never expected that these words came from Xin You's mouth.
Isn't it said that the gentlemen of the Xin family in the past generations were the most abiding by the rules, never opening up wasteland or disturbing the well fields?
"Of course I have conditions." Xin added: "In addition to letting your children come to study, you also need to give some of the food you receive every year to us in large quantities. After all, I also need to eat."
"This is natural!" Hu Yong nodded quickly.
With so much more land, naturally there is a lot more food.
Distribute half of the grain to the city officials, and they said they would still get more grain.
It's just a little harder.
But for these people who have been dealing with the land all year round, what they fear is not fatigue, but the lack of land.
What's more, the Hu family has been booming in recent years, and many young people have no land and not enough food to eat.
Xin has no interest in farming.
He prefers to be a "landowner" and lend land to farmers for farming.
All you have to do is collect the rent.
Xinyi is only a small country, and even if all the wasteland is developed, there won't be much output value.
To increase the city's GDP, we must rely on other industries.
Such as wine making.
"In this case, we have settled this matter." Xin said again.
The heads of the three small sects nodded repeatedly.
Although they have been attached to the San Lao's family all year round, although they don't know Xin You very well, and although they don't know whether Xin You can defeat the San Lao.
But they still agreed.
Because Xin You gave too much! This chapter has been completed!
