Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Page 77

Li Ke is still executing according to the plan made before the crossing.

In fact, there were ordinary people burning coal in Datang, but the number was very small!

Because everyone is actually not very good at using coal, they only know that this dark thing can burn.

But combustion will produce harmful gas, which is harmful to human body.

Many people who use coal are in danger of life due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

But they don't know the reason, they think coal is poisonous, so many people actually keep coal at a respectful distance.

No one uses it, so the price is naturally low.

Now take this opportunity to buy a large number of coal mines at the lowest price, and directly buy the bottom with one hand!

After he applied coal to life and production, the price of coal mines would rise.

At that time, it will not be so simple to buy coal mines at a low price.

In three days, the people of the Wangfu had bought all the coal mines around Chang'an City.

The price was naturally very, very low as he had imagined.

Acquired more than a dozen coal mines, and it only cost less than 6 guan!

Thinking of the profits these more than a dozen coal mines will bring, Li Ke couldn't even close his mouth with a smile!

Li Ke went to the nearest coal mine in person.

This is an open-pit coal mine, and coal can be picked up directly on the ground.

Don't even mine it, just let someone dig it!

"Build a workshop here to dig and wash coal!"

Li Ke directly explained to a small principal of the palace.

Coal is dug out of coal mines. Although it can be burned directly, there are still impurities in it after all.

Whether it is the effect of combustion, or various harmful gases will be great.

Therefore, it is necessary to wash the excavated coal with water first.

Wash away the stone residue in the coal, and remove sulfur.

Only washed coal can be smelted into coke.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the manpower in the palace is not enough."

The little master looked at Li Ke with some embarrassment.

Because Li Ke produced a lot of products, and the core production was all in the palace.

Therefore, the manpower of the palace is very limited now.

"It's okay, just recruit people from nearby. The wages are paid according to the amount of coal dug every day. The more you dig, the more you will be paid. I believe someone will come to do the work."

As for manpower, Li Ke had already planned.

Regardless of any dynasty, the Chinese people are hardworking and able to endure hardships.

As long as there is money and work to do, there will naturally be no shortage of labor.

Directly recruit workers, although they will pay a wage, but they can get a lot of cleaned coal.

Using these coals as fuel, whether it is firing steel or glass cement, can reap an unknown number of times the profit.

In comparison, this little salary is like a drop of water in the ocean, not even a little bit of fur!

What's more, if you recruit workers, you can also provide an income for the people of Datang, which can be regarded as improving their lives.

"Yes!"

The little master nodded immediately.

"Remember, take care of two meals a day, take a half-hour break at noon, never beat anyone, and never deduct wages!"

"Once this king finds out that someone is not doing things according to the rules, this king will definitely not let him go!"

Li Ke made a special statement to the young master in a serious tone.

In Datang, it's not like it is in modern times.

It is by no means uncommon for wages to be deducted, supervisors to beat people, and so on.

But Li Ke absolutely must ensure that this kind of thing cannot happen under his property!

Otherwise, he will never forgive!

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

The little master could feel the determination in Li Ke's tone, and immediately nodded solemnly!

After Li Ke left, the young master began to recruit people in the villages near the coal mine according to Li Ke's request.

"Wu Wang's Mansion is recruiting workers. They will take care of two meals a day and take a half-hour break at noon."

"Two baskets of coal cost one penny. The more you dig, the more you get. Men over the age of 2 and under the age of 1 can work!"

The little master recruited workers together in several nearby villages.

The common people who received the news rushed over immediately upon hearing the news.

"My lord, is what you said true?"

A middle-aged man looked at the young master suspiciously, a little in disbelief.

For this black coal that no one uses, they still have to find someone to dig it, and they also pay two baskets of 1 penny!

1 penny can buy more than 2 catties of rice. If you dig 50 baskets a day, isn’t that 25 pennies?

Just dig coal and earn more than 50 catties of rice a day?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It wasn't just him, there were many men around, including teenagers and elderly people in their forties or fifties.

Everyone didn't quite believe what the little master said just now.

"Naturally, I am the head of Prince Wu's Mansion. I am here to recruit workers to dig coal and wash coal under the order of His Royal Highness King Wu!"

"Everything I said just now is true, but anyone who does not get paid according to the amount of coal dug, come to me directly!"

"If you don't believe me, go directly to Prince Wu's Mansion to find His Royal Highness King Wu!"

The little master patted his chest and said to everyone responsibly.

"His Royal Highness Wu! I know His Highness Wu, the popular Huajian wine sold in Chang'an City was invented by His Highness Wu Wang. It is said that he can earn hundreds of thousands of guan every day!"

"I also know His Highness King Wu, who is said to be the star of Wenqu, who can write four famous poems through the ages at once!"

When the common people heard that it was Wu Wangfu who was recruiting people, they immediately trusted him a little more.

After all, Li Ke's reputation is very big now!

Whether it is literary talent or earning ability, they are all top-notch!

"I trust His Highness King Wu!"

One of them directly picked up the shovel and baskets that Li Ke had asked people to prepare in advance, and started digging coal.

Seeing this, the others also picked up their tools and started working.

Seeing this scene, the young master couldn't help sighing in his heart, the name of His Highness King Wu is still good!

At the end of the day, the common people found that it was really as the little master said, not only taking care of two meals, but also resting for half an hour at noon.

And, when work is over in the evening, the money will be distributed directly on the spot!

Each person receives his wages one by one according to the amount of coal dug today, which is a lot of money!

"Folks, there are still not enough coal diggers. Go back and help out today and tell me more. Tomorrow, anyone who brings people over to work will be rewarded with 1 penny for each person they bring!"

The little master thought of the method Li Ke explained before, and immediately said to the people.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely bring everyone tomorrow!"

Everyone heard that there is a reward for bringing people to work, and each person you bring is 1 penny!

If you bring ten people to work, wouldn't that be 10 Wen?

Immediately, everyone had an idea in their hearts, and planned to call everyone next door and left after they went back!

Sure enough, when the young master came to the mine the next day, he was stunned when he saw Wuyang Wuyang who came to work!

But he reacted immediately, with a happy smile on his face.

More people are better!

Only with a large number of people and strong strength can the task assigned by the King of Wu be completed!

PS: The first update! .

Chapter 97 Scholars, Farmers, Businessmen!Encourage business?

To be honest, he was dumbfounded when he first received the news.

He really never thought that Li Shimin would suddenly go to the mine!

Moreover, there were only two guards with him!

Although he didn't think there would be any danger in the mine, there were hundreds of ordinary people with shovels there.

In case something goes wrong, those two guards will definitely not be able to protect Li Shimin.

Once something happened to Li Shimin in the mine, it would really be a big deal!

Now his plan has not been fully launched, and the power is far from being managed.

Once something happened to Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, could directly ascend the throne legally and become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

And if Li Chengqian ascended the throne, would he still have a good life?

Li Shimin happened in his mine, and Li Chengqian must be the first to liquidate it!

Therefore, Li Shimin must not have any accidents until he has fully grown up!

So after receiving the news, he was only a little dazed for a moment, and then rushed to the mine without stopping.

He also brought a team of palace guards with him to protect Li Shimin's safety!

"I heard that you gathered hundreds of people holding iron tools here, come and have a look."

Seeing Li Ke coming, Li Shimin was not surprised at all, and said something in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Li Ke was startled immediately, and was about to start swearing!

Who is spreading the news so blindly?

Labor and capital hired hundreds of people here to dig coal and wash coal. How did it become a gathering of hundreds of people holding iron tools?

These are completely two concepts!

It's normal to hire people to do the work, no problem.
