When we look at history, there are many things that we take for granted. When Tang Tong thought that he was a time traveler and could do anything easily, Zhang Yiheng poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Sir, I'm afraid the factory you mentioned is difficult to run. We military households have rules and are not allowed to do business. Otherwise, why would so many of us have to live on those few military salaries and a few pieces of land?" Zhang Yiheng is not a talkative person, but Tang Tong has been very good to them these days, so he has developed some feelings of closeness with Tang Tong.
"Oh, there is such a rule? I was wondering, those blacksmiths and craftsmen outside are living a good life, but we have quite a few craftsmen in our camp, but their lives are so miserable. So it's so difficult... Is there any other way to make concessions?" Tang Tong glanced at everyone and asked after a moment of hesitation.
Everyone listened to Tang Tong's words, but they couldn't help thinking in their hearts, they are living such a miserable life, isn't it because you used to be a blood-sucking thousand households? Most of them are rough and can't recognize many words. It's really difficult for them to think of such a thing. Seeing Tang Tong's eyes looking at them one by one, they all lowered their heads. Finally, Zhang Niujiao said, "My lord, I'm bold to say that there are only two ways for us military households in Weizhen. One is to study and go out. The other is to be recruited by the army of the northern border town and get a good salary. Otherwise, those who can't survive can only flee. Although your thoughts for everyone are good, it is against the rules. Once we are blamed by the higher-ups, we will lose our official positions and even our lives."
So strict! Tang Tong couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard what Zhang Niujiao said. The military households in the Ming Dynasty had a hard life. Tang Tong knew this before he traveled through time, but he didn't expect that the reason these people had a hard life was because of these rules.
These rules were not many, but they trapped the military households in their respective garrisons. Not only did they lose their freedom, but they also lost the right to pursue happiness in life. They were not much better off than the prisoners in prison.
"Yes, sir, we all understand your good intentions, but opening a factory is something we cannot do." Yue Yang, who was thinking the most, couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, if we weren't military households, would there be no problem with doing business?" Tang Tong asked somewhat unwillingly, with another idea in mind.
"If we weren't military households, it would be possible. Why do you ask this, sir?" Zhang Niujiao had carefully observed Tang Tong these days and found that except for his more generous personality, there was no other change in Lord Tang. When he became ferocious, it was frightening. He still liked to hang out with women as before, but the woman he was hanging out with was ugly this time.
Zhang Niujiao misunderstood Tang Tong about his flirting with women. Tang Tong only stayed with Chen Yuxian in order to cure her illness. It was true that Tang Tong liked to have sex with women in the past, but he was not the kind of man who could not live without a woman.
"Since it's okay, then it's settled. This factory will be registered under the name of my Chen. She is not included in our military household registration, so she is not included in our military households." Tang Tong felt relieved when he heard Zhang Niujiao say it was okay. He was very confident in Chen Yuxian. This woman was a good woman, not the kind of person who was vain and greedy for money. It would be best to register this factory under her name.
"The method you mentioned is feasible, but the Chen family's sister-in-law will never be able to visit you again, Master Tang. What do you think...will this cause problems over time?" Yue Yang asked hesitantly.
"Well, Brother Yue, you are indeed worrying too much. When I bought Chen, it was just to save her life. I didn't register her current identity with the government. I just returned the deed to her and let her open a shop in the city first. The factories we open in the future will be registered under the name of this shop. No matter what, more than a thousand of us have to find a way to make a living." When Tang Tong said this, he thought of the early days of reform and opening up in the motherland in the future. Many private enterprises were registered under the name of state-owned units. Now it's the other way around. State-owned enterprises have to be registered under the name of private enterprises.
"Since my lord has said so, there is naturally no problem with this. But my lord, you are planning to open a, what is that factory? The name of factory is really not auspicious. Why don't you start a workshop?" Zhao Yapeng asked naively.
"What we want to open is not a small workshop, but a large workshop. In order to distinguish it from that workshop, it is naturally a factory. My plan is to open three factories and a duck farm. The three factories are a match factory, a soap factory and a preserved egg factory. These factories do not require much capital and high technology, which is just suitable for us. What do you think?" Tang Tong's last sentence was actually a waste of time. None of Zhang Niujiao and the others knew about these three things, so who knew whether they were suitable.
Preserved eggs already existed at that time, but they had not been widely promoted (according to legend, preserved eggs appeared in 1620). People didn't know what these three things were, but they all nodded. Since the owner of the factory didn't want them to pay, it was naturally Tang Tong who paid for it and had the final say.
After everyone finished talking about opening a factory, they sent some people to clean up a few rooms, bought some bedding, and moved Tian Wan and his group to bed. After that, Tang Tong went to Chen Yuxian's room, told her his plan, and burned the deed that Chen Yuxian had sold her body in front of her.
Tang Tong did this because he thought Chen Yuxian would be very happy. However, a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, which is sometimes difficult to guess. Chen Yuxian was very self-conscious about her appearance, but she had some extravagant hopes during the days she was with Tang Tong. She hoped that Tang Tong would take her in as his roommate. But now Tang Tong burned the deed. It seemed to her that Tang Tong would never take her in as his roommate again, and she felt very disappointed.
After a long sigh, Chen Yuxian forced a smile and agreed to Tang Tong's request. When Tang Tong turned and left, tears finally fell from her eyes.
Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? She remembered every bit of Tang Tong's kindness to her in her heart. The accumulation of these little things eventually opened her heart, but Tang Tong didn't know it, and even Chen Yuxian herself didn't know it. Unknowingly, she had fallen in love with Tang Tong, fell in love with this ferocious-looking man.
Therefore, she would pay attention to Tang Tong's every move. She could not help but guess the meaning of every word and every action of Tang Tong. In a person's life, the sweetest thing is love, and the bitterest thing is also love.
Although Chen Yuxian's daughter was six years old, she had never been in love. The huge black scar on her face made men unwilling to get close to her. At this moment, she was like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, trapped in the love that was full of joy and sorrow.
Lovesickness is always a dream, but it makes people drunk and crazy.
Tang Tong once got drunk because of a lovesick dream, but he never expected that at this time, behind him, there would be a woman who got drunk because of lovesickness for him.
The next day, after Tian Wan and his group sobered up, they were all impressed by Tang Tong's drinking capacity. Tian Wan's followers became much friendlier towards Tang Tong, and Lord Tang changed his name to Tang Tong, but no one dared to drink with Tang Tong anymore. Lu Sen was concerned about Tang Tong's skills and wanted to fight with him, but after getting up in the morning and seeing Tang Tong and his seven subordinates, including Zhang Niu Jiao, training, Lu Sen gave up the idea of fighting with Tang Tong.
Lu Sen is a master and an expert in martial arts. Naturally, he has a certain vision when it comes to judging an opponent. From Tang Tong's casual moves, Lu Sen can clearly see that Tang Tong is a master, the kind of top master rarely seen in the world. Even three or four of him are not his match.
The fact that there was such a master in such a Weizhen Qianhu Division made Lu Senbo, who had been a Jinyiwei for decades, have many doubts in his mind. Later, he even conducted an investigation on Tang Tong.
Tang Tong naturally had no idea of Lu Sen's thoughts. When Tian Wan and his group left, Tian Wan warmly invited Tang Tong to visit him in the capital when he was free. He also patted his chest and said that he would definitely help Tang Tong get a promotion. As for whether this guy would really be so loyal, Tang Tong thought it was a bit unreliable.
On the third day after Tian Wan left, the first factory under Tang Tong's leadership opened.
