Chapter 190 I Feel Not Alone in Zhuangzi

"Brother Yi, after listening to ten noises and losing a penny, how can it benefit the people?" Li Chengqi was responsible for praising him.

"Song De." Li Yi called the steward.

"Proprietor." The steward, who was thinking about the ten new cows, was feeling happy.

"We are recruiting workers tomorrow. Zhuangzi will provide paper cannons and paper, and ask the people in the city to make cannons with mud. Fifty workers will be paid one penny."

Li Yi gave instructions to Song De.

"I know the proprietor." Song De replied.

Turning his head, Li Yi said to the old man: "This is to benefit the people."

"Hire someone to pay?" The old man couldn't turn around for a while.

In his view, benefiting the people refers to one-stop services such as fertilization, breeding, seedling raising, transplanting, harvesting, threshing, and shelling.

How did it become a job recruitment? Recruitment is considered beneficial to the people?

"Brother Yi has a good idea. People who can't do other strenuous work, especially women, can do it at home and get paid."

Li Chengqi's thinking mode has changed now. Hiring people to work is called providing jobs. Only when more people work and make more money can they have a good life.

"Why don't you ask someone from your village to do it?" The woman expressed confusion.

“Mixing clay, making clay blocks, making paste, and making, after a few operations, I can make more than five hundred in an hour.

If you pay fifty cents a penny, you will get ten pence, and after deducting the money for the paste, it will be a little more than eight pence.

There are twelve hours in a day, five hours at most to do it, four hours at least, and there are still housework to take care of.

It costs more than 30 yuan a day, which is not the price offered by the dealers on my bank. "

Li Yi gave the reason: Zhuangzi's farmers earn more than thirty pence for one day's work? Let’s do this kind of work that is not technically difficult.

"My brother Yi's banker is now quite literate, can do simple arithmetic, understands division of labor and cooperation, and attaches great importance to safe operation of fortifications."

Li Chengqi helped, and the dealers in Zhuangzi did the same work much faster than others.

The more work requires more manpower, the more efficient the people on Zhuangzi will be, and they will cooperate with each other tacitly.

When a new job is given, the dealers themselves read the operation instructions, discuss it with each other, immediately divide the work and cooperate, and can improve during the work.

Li Dan understood, but was a little unconvinced: "The people in your village are better than others?"

"Of course, if the dealers are asked to make them, they may make five hundred per hour like everyone else at first.

After a few days, they will figure out a faster method on their own. It is not difficult to make a thousand in an hour, or even faster. "

Li Yi has a bit of pride. Bankers are good at thinking, which he has cultivated himself.

Li Chengqi spoke again: "This is an excellent team. For example, in the army, there are two people with two eyes and one mouth. The Yulin Feiqi is better than the Qianniu Guards."

"How much does one cost?" The woman was curious about the price.

"How much?" Li Yi looked at his elder brother.

"One for one coin." Li Chengqi gave the answer.

"Why is it so expensive?" Li Dan thought about the cost price and found that the profit was too high. At first glance, fifty cannons were sold for six cents, and they were sold for fifty cents.

"There are many rich people in Chang'an. It is not easy for children to get a piece of maltose. Some children eat candied haws and eat the large pieces of candy on it, and then throw away the hawthorn and the rest."

Li Chengqi talks about the gap between rich and poor.

"Exactly." Li Yi said: "Those who are dining in heaven and on earth look at the people eating soup cakes elsewhere below. One is in heaven and the other is in earth."

"Alas!" Li Dan sighed suddenly.

I found that this is indeed the case. Children from poor families are reluctant to spend a penny.

Children from rich families don't care about a penny.

If you can buy one thousand cannons for one penny, it will be enough for a long time.

"Executive Officer Mu, Mrs. Mu, take advantage of the moment to do some inspections first, and then do the rest tomorrow."

Li Yi didn't want to waste time on meaningless feelings.

"That's fine." Li Dan agreed.

He accompanied his wife, Concubine Doulu, and Li Yi into the magical courtyard that did not look like a device that should exist in the mortal world.

Before dinner, some inspections were completed, and no problems were found for the time being. We will continue tomorrow.

Everyone went to the dining hall, where the maids and eunuchs stood in a separate room.

They felt that General Gao was too far-sighted and knew that the top people in the palace would come, so they had to keep people at first.

Concubine Doulu saw the little children playing before coming over, and they all looked completely different from how they were running around just now.

Now I have become quiet and calm, my clothes are arranged, my hair is tidied, and my face and hands are clean.

Take the plate and choose the food you want to eat, and then go to a special area to eat without fighting or making noise.

She went over to take a look and saw a large group of children sitting there with their heads down eating.

The clothes of the same style decorated the entire restaurant area solemnly and sacredly.

"This is the prosperous age." Concubine Doulu said softly, turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes and returned to the small room.

She finally understood why Li Longji always ran to Zhuangzi. In addition to asking for advice, the more important thing was that he could see what she wanted to see here.

Bankers in Zhuangzi were once like people elsewhere, but now they have changed.

In other words, as long as it is done well, the same can be done in other places in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the food again, Concubine Doulu felt a little sorry for Li Longji. It was not easy to have a child, and it seemed that only by going to Zhuangzi could she get a little peace of mind.

Otherwise, go to the West Market in Chang'an City? See a group of people hawking, and the children are pitiful with the adults?

Coming to Zhuangzi is a kind of escape.

But this dish smells really good, and it’s really better than what’s in heaven and on earth.

If the dealers make dozens of pence a day, it is not enough for a vegetable.

No, not even one bite is enough. Vegetables are not something ordinary people can eat in winter.

A few people sat down, but Li Dan didn't bring any staple food, just vegetables, not much meat, and a glass of wine.

"Brother Yi, is it time to bring out the drunken crabs?" Li Chengqi saw that there were oysters and eggs fried together in Li Yisheng's dish, UU Reading www.uｕukanshu.net thought of crabs.

All the crabs I bought were sent to Li Yi to be made into drunken crabs. It’s almost Chinese New Year.

"You can do it at any time. Brother will take a few jars with him when he leaves tomorrow. Remember not to eat too much even of drunken crabs."

Li Yi had almost forgotten about the crabs, but when he was reminded, he swallowed his saliva, slander!

"Can I eat it?" Li Dan asked Li Yi.

"Yes." Li Yi nodded.

Li Dan turned to Li Chengqi and said, "Can I buy it from you?"

"We will discuss the price later." Li Chengqi agreed and sent it to Baifu Palace.

Concubine Doulu looked on with a smile and found that it was good to have such a Zhuangzi who could always provide good things.

When she took a bite of the mutton, she praised: "This meat is good, well stewed and easy to chew."

"Put hawthorn in the stew." Li Yi didn't keep it secret either, and he was given it.

"I didn't know that he said something like this before." Concubine Doulu noted it down, and when she returned to Baifu Hall, she asked others to do it and give them some guidance.

Several people whispered and did not abide by the rule of not eating and talking.

Mainly Li Dan and Concubine Doulu asked about things in daily life, what was being made in Zhuangzi's workshop, the children were studying, the students were studying...

Halfway through the meal, there was a figure outside the lower room and the door was knocked twice.

"Is Mr. Li here? I'm here again. I won't be leaving tonight." After saying this, the door was pushed open and an old man came in.

The old man smiled broadly and seemed very happy.

Then he saw another old man and the woman next to the old man.

smile...

It becomes unnatural, but I continue to laugh.

Li Chengqi quickly said: "This old man comes here all the time. He is a very nice person."
