The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1181

[Chapter 1181 New System]

“Oh?”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor asked in doubt, but he did not ask any more questions, but motioned Lin Tian to continue.

“Generally speaking, if you want to change their living conditions, you need a certain economic foundation.”

Lin Tian continued, but after hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor rolled his eyes, because both the emperor and Lin Tian knew the current situation of Yan State.

Their economic strength was simply not enough to guarantee the economic foundation of these common people, so in the eyes of the emperor, what Lin Tian said was in vain.

“Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation first. I don’t mean what you think.” Lin Tian saw the emperor’s rolling eyes, so he said to the emperor, “Only a certain economic foundation can change their living conditions.

Then we might as well create an economic foundation for them. Only by letting them obtain it through labor, they will willingly become active.

And if we want to create economic conditions for them, then the leadership of the Yan court is indispensable. Only when we play a certain leadership role, they will follow us, or work for us, so that we have a reason to pay them wages.

In other words, we only need to provide them with certain conditions, let them work by themselves, and then obtain the economy to change their lives through their own labor, so that their living conditions will naturally be solved.” After

Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked at the emperor, but the emperor did not understand what Lin Tian meant, and now he was obviously lost in thought.

“My dear Lin, why don’t I understand what you mean? Can you explain it to me more clearly? Or you can just tell me your thoughts directly.”

The emperor thought for a long time, whether he had figured out what Lin Tian said, so he asked Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, I mean to give them working conditions, let them work to generate income, and then distribute these income to them first, so that they will become active.”

After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian could only speak more clearly.

“Oh? Lord Lin, although I understand what you mean, how can we provide them with the conditions to create income? You are not unaware of the current situation of Yan State.”

After listening to what Lin Tian said, the emperor spoke to Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, you still don’t understand the current situation of Yan State enough. What we need now is not too much silver, and what we need to do now is to make those people who are suffering from poverty and hunger no longer suffer.

So we only need to give them the conditions to be well fed and clothed, so that they can help us work for free, and also help us generate certain income. If we offer good conditions, they may even be willing to help us work.

Therefore, I want to open a certain number of factories in Yan State. Only when those poor people have a certain place to live, they will help us work.

It’s just that what we implement The system is not the same as the one implemented by the royal nobles now. If it is the same as those royal nobles, they just changed a place, but the actual living conditions have not changed.

I plan to implement a system of equality for all in this factory. Only by giving these former slaves enough respect and enough money, will they become active.

I believe that during the autumn harvest ceremony, the emperor also saw the scene in my fiefdom. Did he feel that it was different from the scenes in the fiefdoms of other royal nobles? “

Lin Tian spoke to the emperor again, and after hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor also showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

“That’s because I have already returned the slave contracts of the farmers in my fiefdom. Now they are all civilians, and I have distributed land to them, so their living conditions have changed so much.

When I wanted to build a greenhouse in my fiefdom before, they were very active because they were grateful to me. Not only did I provide them with meals every day, I also had people distribute a certain amount of wages to them every day, so they were so active. The same is true for

raising pigs. When the swine fever appeared before, they wanted to give up halfway, but after my intimidation and promise to give them a certain amount of subsidies, they continued to raise pigs and became very active.”

Lin Tian saw a thoughtful expression on the emperor’s face, thinking that the emperor was thinking about the method he proposed, so he continued to speak to Lin Tian.

But what Lin Tian didn’t know was that the emperor was not considering the pros and cons of this method at the moment, but was thinking that Lin Tian’s method had already changed the system passed down by his ancestors, and the emperor was considering whether changing this method would be recognized by the royal nobles.

“My dear Minister Lin, this is not the problem I am thinking about now. I am wondering if your method will be resisted by the royal nobles if it is implemented. Moreover, your system seems to have changed the rules passed down by our ancestors. I don’t know whether this is a good idea.”

The emperor thought for a while, then told Lin Tian what he was thinking and what he was worried about.

“Your Majesty, although this is a change to the rules passed down by our ancestors, the times are progressing, and it is inevitable to change this system. If we stick to the rules passed down by our ancestors, we will definitely lag behind those countries with advanced ideas.

Moreover, if this system is really implemented, it will definitely affect the interests of those royal nobles, and it is inevitable that they will resist, but Your Majesty does not need to worry in the short term.

Because in the beginning, we will not implement this system on a large scale. I will conduct an experiment first, and wait until Your Majesty really sees the results. It will not be too late for Your Majesty to decide whether to use this system.

However, I want to remind Your Majesty that as the king of a country, those royal nobles are also your subjects. If Your Majesty still has to act according to their faces, then where is Your Majesty’s majesty?”
