Du Zhongxiao read the news sent by Magistrate Lou and said, "As expected, in more than a year, the staff who bought houses and opened shops around him were still big customers in the county. The shopping mall affairs can no longer be handled like before."

While speaking, he handed it over to Zhang Yingzhi beside him.

Zhang Fengzhi looked at it and said, "Things are the things in the world. Those who have capital, means, and favors, are naturally better at doing business than others. How can ordinary people open shops unless they get rich soon?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "That's true, but it's all these people who make money, and the power of the local area will inevitably fall into their hands. They have capital and power, and they control the local area for generations. The so-called officials are not feudal, and officials are feudal, which is nothing more than that."

Su Shunqin read the official newspaper and said, "There is this happening in all places. The prefectures and counties have a small number of people, so they can only rely on these large households to govern the local area. Although they control local authority, the imperial taxes and service are also on them, which is a skill to govern the world."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "In the past, it was because the imperial court's money and grain were collected from the fields. If they didn't need to do things, it was difficult to collect money and grain. Changping's company was different. All industries under it had nothing to do with taxes. If they were still using these people to do things, they would only make more money. On the one hand, they would make money from industry and commerce, which would be difficult to manage. So, you will work with Director Xu of the mall under Changping's company to draw up a regulation. Bulk goods sold in the mall, especially local products, are relatively easy, and will be done by the village community in the future. Those who participate in the establishment of the society can only use middle and lower-class households, and the mall lends capital to buy goods. The goods of these village communities can only be sold to the mall and are not allowed to be sold to other places."

Zhang Yingzhi didn't understand: "What's the point of doing this?"

"First, if you sell these goods in the mall, you will definitely make money and never lose money. This is different from other businesses and is stable. Just think that Changping Office supports local poor households. With this industry, middle and lower-class households do not have to look at the face of superior households in everything. With this grasp of prefectures and counties, officials will not be controlled by officials. Another thing is that middle and lower-class households have this extra income and have a relaxed life and can do things for the government."

Du Zhongxiao's statement was very vague. Fortunately, Zhang Xingzhi and Su Shunqin were both officials for many years, so they still understood Du Zhongxiao's meaning. The imperial court had costs to govern the local area. In addition to tax service, the only one who could bear a certain cost was the middle and upper-class households. Therefore, the tax service was on them, and the public officials in charge of the service also came out of them and took the initiative to give power to them. The middle and lower-class households had industries, although they were collectively owned, and they also had the capital to play with the middle and upper-class households. The government mediated and balanced it, and could collect a part of the rights from the local large households.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to unite the poor and lower-middle peasants and let them organize them. Changping gave them stable industries and seized part of the power from the public servants controlled by local big households. Customers and middle- and lower-class households have some independence, and the official took the opportunity to sink power to the grassroots level.

Can this solve rural conflicts? Of course, it cannot. Local big households are not only rich, but also powerful, so they are called homes of power. Later, it was nothing more than a business system outside the Changpingsi shopping mall, and a new industrial and commercial system naturally appeared, integrating those big households into it.

The system of Changpingsi just stretched a stick into the rural areas of Jingxi Road, stirring up the original situation of a stagnant pool. In this process, some big-name households will be unlucky, or cannot keep up with the situation, or do business randomly and lose all their capital. Who is unlucky is related to the attitude and practices of local officials. In Zaoyang County, Du Zhongxiao must make Shi Yuanwai unlucky, and everyone knows this.

In the words of later generations, this is targeted poverty alleviation. The purpose of poverty alleviation is to change the rural power structure controlled by local large households. Can villagers who enter the community make a fortune? Of course, not. Most of the profits will be taken away by Changping Corporation, so they are not allowed to sell goods to others, just to give middle and lower-class households a guaranteed income. After other commercial systems emerge, some people will build a society that is not controlled by Changping Corporation, and that is the time to make a fortune.

Although he still didn't understand something, Du Zhongxiao's intentions were still clear. He was good at official affairs and did not ask much.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Mr. Xu of the mall is in the town. You discuss with him what kind of land commerce can do. Take the business of producing these goods and establish more villages and communities under your rule. Production must be simple and easy and complicated, and do not accept them. When talking about pricing, the land commerce commerce will withdraw some of them from it, and as the income of land commerce. The land commerce will be guaranteed and distributed to the society established under your rule. These villages and communities will be based on the principle of government supervision and private operations. The land commerce commerce will provide some help, such as making documents, supervising contracts, and each company will share money. It must be fair and just. In addition, the land commerce will send special personnel to receive goods in the future, and no longer entrust the households."

Zhang Fengzhi and Su Shun nodded, saying that it was. Establishing a social cooperation was the universal method in the world at this time. There were various communities in the countryside. In places where oxen were short of plowing oxen, there were cattle clubs, and several families raised a cow. There were canal clubs established by hydrating the land. Many families cooperated to open a canal, and the contract stipulated how to distribute water. In order to rely on the name of religion, there were more communities that performed mutual assistance. For example, the incense club and the Buddhist club were varied and spread all over the world. These clubs not only made contracts to do some rituals on time, but also had mutual assistance terms, such as weddings and funerals, and each family helped.

The development of Maitreya religion is based on the incense club. Anyway, only burning incense, do you know which god do you believe in? The people have the need for mutual assistance and cannot be banned. The court prohibits a religion, and a large number of incense clubs will be replaced with another god. After the limelight has passed, I don’t know where to change it.

The establishment of the society that Du Zhongxiao mentioned was mainly based on handicrafts and cooperated with the shopping mall system under Changping. It is mainly light industry, with little cost and no technical content, giving specific people the opportunity to make money. With the conditions of rural areas, this can only be done. Incorporating them into the industrial system will not only delay industrial development, but also waste their labor and capital.

After giving instructions to the field affairs in the camp, Du Zhongxiao told County Magistrate Lou: "Minister, you will also draw a regulation in accordance with the regulations on the field affairs in the city. Under the jurisdiction of this county, it is not under the jurisdiction of the field affairs, and it will be handled in accordance with the conditions. With these communities, the county does not have to rely on big families everywhere to do some things."

County Magistrate Lou said that it was. After listening for a long time, he neither knew what Du Zhongxiao meant nor what to do. Fortunately, he didn't need to understand, so he just copied it according to the field affairs. He just wrote it himself, and he just did what they did, and he just did it himself.

Du Zhongxiao stood up and said, "It has been past the cultivation of the fields. I will focus on the teachings of the Xiangjun these days. If you have any matters, please discuss with Director Xu and ask me if you are unsure about it. Everything is subject to the field management, and you can do it according to the rules."

Du Zhongxiao is not a person who cares about everything in every detail. As long as he has rules and lets the person who does things according to the rules, he generally no longer asks about it. Therefore, he attaches great importance to documents and requires everything to be written into documents and strictly follow authority. If you need to make your own ideas, you have relevant documents on the desk and do some desk work every day.

Documents are not formalism. Formalism is often the process of not even doing the documentary work well, or not following the process. The process of drafting documents and approval is actually the process of lower-level reporting on the situation and making suggestions. Reporting the situation is the job, and drafting suggestions is training. This is the intention of officials to practice at the grassroots level. They just know the process and know how the grassroots work, but cannot draw valuable suggestions, which means they are not qualified to be promoted.
