QUESTION 3: |
In 1742 Elizabeth issued a law that allowed manufacturers to buy villages along with the people living in them to work for their factories. She did it because she was asked by Afanasy Grebenshikov, who claimed that this law was the a threat to porcelain manufacture due to insufficiency of peasants working for the manufacture. He needed more people but his request to buy a village was declined by the Government with the reference to this law of 1736 that forbade doing so. So, Elizabeth called this law off and let him buy peasants. However, this only lasted til 1762 when manufacturers were not allowed to buy people by villages again.
