"White rice! Today's salary is actually

white rice!" Excitement swept through the war song factory, not only that, but the overseer also gave them a few big spoonfuls, at least five or six catties of white rice

per person! The workers were all happy, their daily wages were mixed together in a mess, about one pound per person, and sometimes the overseers deducted a little, not a catty, and there were some sawdust in it.

Today's strange thing is that it is actually white rice! In the past, it would be good if the grain could be moldy and without adding sawdust, but today's rice is all white and crystalline, and each person weighs at least five or six pounds!

The obese middle-aged man next to the stall attracted everyone's attention, he was wearing a black top hat, a black suit, single-rimmed glasses, and a small pipe.

This outfit is the most popular outfit for federal merchants.

The untouchable merchants who used to be the most despised by the nobles, but the clothes they wore now became the most fashionable representatives of the nobles of the Purple Cloud Empire

!"You all listen! It was the lord who gave you food to eat, so that you have a chance to live! You have to work well for the lord!" The

overseer who distributed the grain in front of the stall shouted at them while giving them food.

"Thank you, sir!"

the workers immediately bowed in gratitude to the nobleman in a black suit.

"Today, the lord is merciful and will give you rice! And tomorrow, everyone will have a paid holiday, so they don't have to work, and they will come and distribute the food at night! As for you, don't do anything that you don't know what to do!" The

man who distributed the grain continued to shout, and if Su Zheng was here, he would definitely remember a sentence: "Not because of his conscience, but because we have been here!".

Yes, after receiving the mob riot in the eastern suburbs, this aristocrat immediately asked the major factories under his name to distribute food to the workers and slaves to stabilize these workers and slaves.

And arrange a few of his most trusted henchmen to do it at this time, to prevent the people below from deducting it.

"Of course I won't be ignorant of what the master gave me to eat!" a

worker shouted excitedly, and the overseer who distributed the grain smiled when he heard this, and gave him two more spoonfuls of grain.

For a while, the workers shouted all kinds of good words from the old man.

The aristocratic lord on the side nodded with satisfaction.

Then he got into the carriage and walked on for less than two minutes, and it was his factory again.

Seeing him coming, the overseer who distributed the grain immediately led the workers to shout hello, sir.

Looking at such a scene, he was in a very happy mood, and he also thought about the future.

He was originally a down-and-out duke family, and the family business was not big or small, but he was fortunate enough to come into contact with industrial machines early, and soon realized the power of industrial machines, so he brought them in and established a factory in the Purple Cloud Empire.

These machines are easy to operate, and his slaves can easily get started, and now there is no shortage of labor, just catch a beggar on the street, teach it for a few days, and then you can get started.

Because of the cheap workers here, the federal government placed large orders here, and he made a lot of money.

His industry is also getting bigger and bigger, and it won't take many years for him to become a first-class aristocratic family in the Xuanwu Principality!

The accumulation of industrial capital is so fast, if he only relies on the accumulation of capital under the original small-scale peasant economic model, he doesn't know how many years it will take for the family to rise.

...

Different from the way he dealt with it, at this time, there was ..... in one of the Murong family's mines

The chief engineer in the pit soon received news from his family, and he hurriedly organized the overseers to pick up the steel knives.

Workers digging in the pit were abruptly stopped, and the steam engine gradually stopped.

The miners were all puzzled, "Today the overseer has changed his character?" In the past, if you didn't let them work until the moon shines, you won't let them stop.

The miners were quickly assembled, and then the overseers took away all the tools and divided the miners into several groups.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the overseers with steel knives surrounded them, and the miners immediately talked about it.

Immediately afterward, the overseer took them to the mine in batches.

As one group of miners was brought into the cave, the overseer came out to bring the next one, all the while also holding a large pile of hemp rope, and soon the people behind realized that something was wrong.

"What are you going to do?

I'm not going!" "I'm

going to eat!" "Yes! We're going to eat! I'm not going anywhere!"

As one person refused to go to the mine, some people protested one after another!

The steel knives in the hands of the overseers came into play at this time, and as the overseers raised the steel knives, the miners stopped resisting.

However, the overseers no longer took them to the mines, but left them to wait where they were.

After a few moments, the overseers took the hemp rope and tied them up.

They didn't dare to resist, most of them had been dragged into the mine at this time, and now these people were not much more than the overseers, and the overseers had steel knives in their hands, but they were unarmed, even the tools for mining had been put away, and after a day of high-intensity work, they were powerless and had no intention of resisting.

After tying them up, the overseers drove them into the mine and held them in a centralized manner.

And told them to give food tomorrow morning, and if there was a noise, they would not even be given water to drink tomorrow morning! The

overseers were all arranged to keep watch at the entrance of the cave, and there were no lights, no loud noises, and no random movements, and the whole pit was in a very quiet state, and there was not a single figure below from the top of the pit.

...

Except for these two ways of dealing with it, most of the nobles actually didn't think so.

They don't pay attention to the mob riots, and at the moment the countries are in strife and the armaments are relatively perfect.

The training of the army, including the city guards, was not delayed, at least Xuanwu was like this.

Not only that, not long ago, the news of the Murong Du riot had reached the ears of these nobles and high-ranking people, and they already knew the general situation and final result of the riot suppression, and 50 people could easily suppress tens of thousands of people! It was enough to show that the mob was not afraid.
