Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°There are a lot fewer people?¡±

    Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Liu Jin had few doubts. Then he looked at the crowds of people returning to the city on the road. The flow of people was quite large. There were always people there just looking at them. Why did they say there were so few people?

    "There are a lot of people."

    Liu Jin was very confused.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s a lot less!¡±

    Wang Shouren said firmly: "Nanjing is currently the largest city in the entire Jiangnan, and it is also the city with the most factories and workshops. Although it cannot be compared with Beijing and Tianjin, it is definitely the third largest city in the Ming Dynasty, with a population of more than five million."

    "So every year before and after the annual holiday, the number of migrant workers returning to their hometowns and cities is very large, between two and three million."

    "Today is the last day to return to the city. In the past, the flow of people on this road was very heavy, and sometimes it was difficult for four-wheeled carriages to pass."

    "But look at the flow of people on this road now. Although there are a lot of people, it is much worse than before."

    Wang Shouren frowned.

    As the chief envoy of Southern Zhili, he is very concerned about this matter.

    The safety of migrant workers returning to their hometowns or cities before and after this year is a big deal. During the winter, the post stations and government offices along the way need to make preparations in all aspects.

    So he would personally inquire and make arrangements, and every time he would personally walk a distance to see how the various post stations and government offices were doing.

    "It shouldn't be the case. Maybe many people came back early. Also, the city is developing very fast now. Many people buy houses in the city and then settle down in the city."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and guessed.

    "It's possible, but I still feel it's abnormal. The flow of people is much less than before."

    Wang Shouren nodded, but his frown remained.

    If the population of a city decreases significantly, it is not a good thing. It means that the city will soon enter decline. Without people, there is nothing. Only those who have everything have everything. This is the simplest truth.

    "That's right~"

    Liu Jin looked at the pedestrians on the road and pondered slightly. He had read the problem correctly.

    But who is Lao Wang?

    He is the most awesome person in this era. Since he said this, it must not be wrong.

    ¡°Is it because we have hit local capital in Jiangnan too hard that many people are worried that they will not be able to find a job when they come to Nanjing?¡±

    Liu Jin thought so in his heart.

    But he quickly denied his own conclusion, because although Jiangnan local big businessmen, big gentry, big landowners, and big families were severely attacked, a large number of factories and workshops were seized.

    But not everyone in Nanjing is like Zeng Qing, Jiang Cheng, Zhang Yuanting and others. In order to bring down Wang Shouren, they deliberately banded together to not pay wages and cause workers to cause trouble.

    Most of the factories and workshops here, especially those small and medium-sized factories, still followed the agreement with everyone and paid the workers the full salary for their hard work for a year before the year.

    ¡°After all, for most of the owners of small and medium-sized factories and workshops, what they consider is how to make profits and how to make money, and they simply do not dare to go up to the level of going against frontier officials like the Chief Envoy.

    As for paying taxes, just follow the rules and regulations. The Yankees can all pay taxes according to the rules and regulations. They can also become bigger and stronger, and they can also make a lot of money. Why can¡¯t we Southerners do the same?

    They are different from Zhang Yuanting, Zeng Qing, Jiang Cheng and other top families, wealthy families, businessmen, and gentry. They dare not do such a thing, and they do not have the ability to make such a layout.

    Therefore, we must act honestly and in accordance with the law, and pay out the wages that should be paid. If wages are not paid, when the workers cause trouble and the government intervenes, and their network of connections is not enough, I am afraid that they will be finished by then.

    This is the thinking and practice of most small and medium-sized factories, workshops, and business owners.

    What they can do is act in accordance with the law and earn their own reasonable profits.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away and the largest number of workers and the largest number of employees, which is why there were only a few hundred thousand workers riots before the end of last year.

    ¡°These hundreds of thousands of workers are all workers in large factories and workshops. If all the factories and workshops in Nanjing were to work together, it would not be hundreds of thousands, but millions.

    With this doubt, the carriages of Liu Jin and Wang Shouren quickly returned to Nanjing, but they had not yet entered the city.He immediately frowned at the scene.

    There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is that the factories and workshops here are in great need of workers. They have not recruited enough workers, so they can only find ways to recruit people on the way into the city, hoping to be the first to recruit more workers.  some workers.

    If there are enough workers, it is absolutely impossible for these factories, workshops and the like to come here to recruit people. Just like in later generations, when it first became popular to work in the city, there were few factories and many people came to the city to work.  Each of those factories has harsh conditions, but there are still countless people who want to work in the factory, and many times they have to rely on connections to work in the factory.

    Because there are many people and few jobs, the factory can impose harsh conditions, and some people will still do it.

    Now the situation is reversed. There are more factories and fewer workers. These factories and workshops have to offer better conditions to attract workers to come and work, and they even have to come to the road to rob people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
