Chapter 341: The Eight Great Masters of the South of the Yangtze River(2/2)
"I'll just take a look and see what they compare with."
The people in the capital did not have gas or coal, so they mainly burned firewood for cooking and heating.
The firewood in this city is carried by the people living on the outskirts of the city and sold in the city.
Seeing this, some businessmen bought firewood on a large scale and drove up prices.
Businesses like buying and selling firewood are too cheap, and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce would not normally touch them, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Ye Yueqing was not surprised at all when he heard this.
His Majesty Taisun cares about the people, so there is no harm in losing some money.
Then he said: "A message came from Datong, Shanxi Province, saying that a huge coal mine has been discovered, and manpower is being organized to dig it. However, the labor force is somewhat lacking, and I would like to request an order from His Majesty to recruit corvee labor."
Zhu Ying shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it about the corvée work, just carry the wages and people will come to you."
"At the same time, an order was sent to the Shanxi Chief Envoy to inform the government, prefecture, and county. Anyone who violates the law will be punished with hard labor and paid for coal."
At this point, Zhu Ying paused and continued: "I am enclosing a secret letter and ask the Shanxi Chief Envoy to capture all the beggars in Shanxi Province to work in the coal mines, so as to avoid causing chaos in the local area."
"It's the Spring Festival, and these people from the Beggar Clan love to do some sneaky things."
Now Zhu Ying has decided to crack down on the beggar gangs all over the world.
The main practitioners of illegal human trafficking are in the Beggar Clan, where there is a mixed bag of good and bad.
