    Songhu, Liu Jin came here again, standing on a high-rise building and overlooking Songhu. There were high-rise buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River. The port and terminal were extremely busy. The spacious cement roads divided this flat land into squares.

    There are factories neatly arranged in the industrial zone. The tall chimneys emit white smoke, extending to the road at the end of the field of vision. Four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods come and go in a hurry.

    The bustling commercial district here is full of traffic and dense crowds. The most fashionable elements of Ming Dynasty all converge here. The minimalist style of the north softens the unique petty bourgeoisie sentiment of Jiangnan.

    The traditional long-sleeved gowns are combined with the increasingly popular tight-fitting pants; a large number of young people with short hair can be seen among the long hair shawls and high-erected crowns.

    At the Huangpu River Pier, steamships with billowing white smoke and whistles sounding from time to time docked side by side with traditional large-scale ships with sails hanging.

    ¡°What a big change!¡±

    Liu Jin sighed.

    I vaguely remember that the last time I came to Songhu was when I was preparing to lead my army to go on an expedition to Nanyang. At that time, Songhu was just a very small ordinary county town with continuous rice fields on both sides of the Huangpu River.

    However, things changed a lot, and in a blink of an eye this place turned into a bustling metropolis.

    It is truly a place where half of Kyushu¡¯s fortunes gather together. The Yangtze River is its vitality. Coupled with the unique geographical advantage of being right on the middle line of the north-south shipping, its rise and development are inevitable.

    "Liu Jin, there is news from the capital. His Majesty's Qianqing Palace has almost been flooded with memorials to impeach you and me."

    Wang Shouren said as he held up several letters that were urgently sent from the capital.

    "Isn't this a normal thing?"

    ¡°I¡¯m surprised no one has impeached you.¡±

    Liu Jin didn¡¯t care at all. Anyway, he hadn¡¯t been impeached once or twice. He was already used to it.

    Anyway, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can just ignore them.

    "After these people conducted thorough investigations throughout Jiangnan, we found a total of more than 200,000 slaves in factories across Jiangnan. In fact, there were about 50,000 white slaves and about 150,000 black slaves. We also investigated and dealt with the headquarters  The slave trading house located in Songhu specializes in selling slaves to local factories."

    Wang Shouren did not continue to worry about whether he was impeached. As Liu Jin said, being impeached is completely normal.

    This time in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan officialdom was almost swept away. There were hundreds of officials, large and small, imprisoned in cells, plus the gentry, big businessmen, big landowners, big families and the like who were confiscated.  Yes, they and I don¡¯t know how many people there are in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

    These people not only impeached Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, but also conveyed their intentions to Liu Jin through various methods, asking Liu Jin to show his noble hand, let people go, turn major issues into trivial matters, and stop delving into Nanjing.  Hundreds of thousands of workers rioted.

    Obviously, Liu Jin would not give up so easily. He finally waited for the opportunity to rectify the Jiangnan gentry, attack the most powerful stubborn conservative forces in the Ming Dynasty, and promote the Ming Dynasty to develop in depth towards capitalism and colonialism.  How could Liu Jin just stop like this?

    What's more, this is a political struggle. In the cruel reality of either you die or I live, Liu Jin has been tortured to death by these people countless times, and now he naturally wants to repay him.

    From the perspective of the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty, the conservative forces in Jiangnan must receive a heavy blow. It is best to completely disintegrate them, so as to be more helpful to the future of the Ming Dynasty.

    Otherwise, half of the Ming Dynasty, because these conservatives have been unable to keep up with the development of the times, and always try various ways to hinder the progress of the Ming Dynasty.

    If the confrontation between the traditional conservative forces and the emerging capitalist forces continues for a long time, a vigorous bourgeois revolution will inevitably break out, and the ultimate damage will naturally be the power of the Ming Dynasty.

    So now that there is an opportunity, it is natural to attack the traditional conservatives, weaken their power, increase the power of emerging capitalism, and then gradually and completely defeat the traditional conservatives.

    In Jiangnan, we will continue to cause trouble.

    "200,000 slaves?"

    Liu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this. He did not expect that the number was so large, and there were still 150,000 Kunlun slaves.

    Capital is profit-seeking. Using slaves can greatly reduce costs. Capital will naturally use slaves, especially Kunlun slaves, which are the lowest and cheapest. They are used to reduce costs.In this way, you can hold a large amount of liquidity in your hands, and the money can still earn interest even if it is deposited in the bank.

    ¡° If wages are paid every month now, then there will be less working capital in hand, and there will be less interest income. Many people will definitely be unwilling to do so.

    But what Wang Shouren said is also very reasonable. We must fundamentally protect the rights and interests of workers. If workers can¡¯t get a penny after working hard for a year, it will be easy for something to happen.

    You must know that investment is risky. In many cases, the blind expansion of capital is extremely prone to crises. Under the model of paying wages once a year, crises are easy to occur. Moreover, when there is an economic crisis, it is also easy for a large number of deliberate arrears of wages to occur.  People who don¡¯t send it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
