Inside the house, cigarette smoke curled up. Lu Chengqing put down his tea cup and said slowly: "I'm sure you all know why I came to see you today." "Su Li's law only restricts us. But if workers come to work voluntarily, what does it have to do with us?" Cui Shu said with a sneer. Lu Chengtai then said: "That's true! Everyone, I, Fan Yang, Mrs. Lu, have ordered the supervisors to notify the workers that if they are unwilling to take the initiative to work overtime, they will all be discarded!" The others all nodded in approval with smiles on their faces. "King Yongle is young and energetic. He suddenly came to a high position and has forgotten everything. He doesn't understand the people's hearts and is destined to fail!" Lu Chengfangzi said proudly. Being ignored by Su Li today, Lu Chengqing's anger was hard to suppress. I thought that Su Li would use some thunderbolt methods if his attitude was so stubborn. I didn’t expect…………that’s it? If Su Li only had this method, then their family would definitely have a complete victory this time!
What Lu Chengqing calls popular sentiment is actually not complicated! The people's sentiment he talks about is nothing more than the people's desire to live a good life. There are so many factories in the world, how many can strictly abide by the laws set by Su Li? Princess Mansion can indeed produce 540, but how many people can the Princess Mansion factory arrange? You must know that the factories directly belonging to their five surnames and Qiwang accounted for more than 50% of all factories in Datang. In addition, there are other families with lower status but are inextricably related to the five surnames and Qiwang. All of them added up to another 30%. After Su Li's decree is promulgated, if more than 80% of the factories in the world violate it, what can he do? There are not many ways for people to make money. If they have free time, if they want to make money, they must go to a factory. Wu Xing Qi Wang didn't dare to openly touch the law, but if those workers voluntarily worked overtime, they couldn't control it! People are willing to do more work for the same amount of money, so do they have to pay them back? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Standard people do not hold officials accountable. Even if they tell the truth, they are right! Next, things developed exactly as Lu Chengqing expected. After the decree was promulgated, major factories in Chang'an City faithfully posted the decree in the most conspicuous places in the factory buildings. But then, a strange phenomenon occurred. Every night, the roar of machines is still heard in the (bcbg) factory opened by the family. In the factory, the supervisors who can be seen everywhere during the day disappear at night. But the workers silently stuck to their posts and no one left.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave… In fact, in the first few days, some naive young people did leave at the end of the day. But within a few days, they were all dismissed by the stewards. Since ancient times, the people living on this land have gradually developed a survival instinct of resignation. King Yongle is good for them, and they know it better than anyone else. However, if they want to make money, they must enter the factory. Working in a factory is a bit tiring, but you get paid every month. After all, it is much better than working in the fields all year round. However, most of those who come to work in the factory have families with many people but little land, and do not want to waste labor, so they work in the factory to support their families. If they lose their jobs, they don't know what else they can do. Working here is a bit tiring, but the money I get is real. It's better than being kicked out and left to do nothing. Inside the palace, the queen's bedroom. Li Er walked in slowly and saw Changsun Wugou sitting next to the desk a little irritably. "Shimin, are you here?" Changsun Wugou put down the paper in his hand, pinched his eyebrows, and said with a forced smile. Seeing Changsun Wugou's appearance, Yuer couldn't help but frown. "What's bothering you so much?" Changsun Wugou smiled bitterly and said: "A few days ago, Changle asked me to help persuade my elder brother to let Changsun's factory comply with Su Li's laws to set an example... "But today my eldest brother came to the palace to look for me. He said that the Changsun family does not need to worry, but now there are very few people in Chang'an's factories who abide by the law." Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but laugh. "Are you worried about this?" Li Er asked with a smile. "Su Li works for the benefit of the people, but those powerful clans continue to exploit the people. This matter is of great importance. Aren't you worried at all, people?" Changsun Wugou said in astonishment. Ever since Su Li went to court that time, Changsun Wugou also became interested in what he said. The queen's mother-in-law honors the world, and this matter actually has something to do with her. After all, most of the new textile factories use female workers. Changsun Wujia immediately ordered an investigation of all textile factories. You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check. The situation in textile factories is not much better than that in factories such as forges and steel plants.
Female workers working in textile factories also work more than eight hours a day. Women's bodies are inherently delicate, and during this period, there are also many people who get sick or even die from exhaustion. Changsun Wugou originally thought that the situation would improve after Su Li's decree was promulgated. Unexpectedly, the wealthy family still goes its own way. This situation made her extremely angry. She hasn't gone to investigate the textile factory yet, but the situation should be similar. After the anger, Changsun Wugu was extremely worried. From Changsun Wuji, she learned that those wealthy families did not violate the law. Workers work overtime voluntarily. But it was precisely because of this that she was extremely irritable. This is a dead end! The reason why the decree failed was actually because of the resistance from the people who came to benefit from it. Even with Changsun Wugou's intelligence, he couldn't imagine how to deal with such a thing. "Queen, haven't you seen it clearly? If they didn't have the ability to find opportunities and take advantage of loopholes, the family would have been wiped out long ago. This time, they will naturally repeat their old tricks. Li Er had a smile on his face and spoke unhurriedly. "But they forgot that Su Li is not the enemy they encountered in the past. Su Li... doesn't need to care what they say!" When he said this, Li Er's eyes were complicated, showing a look of envy. Yes, at this moment, he envied Su Li extremely. Su Li's strength lies in the fact that he doesn't have to worry about gains or losses when facing anyone! The aristocratic family members played word games with him and found the wrong opponent. When all great power belongs to oneself, one has the power to overturn the table anytime and anywhere! Li Er doesn't have this kind of power. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, throughout the ages and thousands of years of history, there is only one person with such ability. That’s Su Li!.
