The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

After making up his mind, Xie Qian changed "eight qian a day" to "three qian a day" and asked everyone to copy while saying: "You guys are much more familiar with Shu County than I am, so you can discuss how to allocate the area by yourself. Or two people can be in charge together. You don’t need to write down the date of application in detail, and you will be notified when other matters are arranged.” He paused, “However, there are two things that I hope you can inform as many people as possible: the first [-]. The labor fee is the same as all previous applications. The minimum daily workload can only be paid in full. If the minimum workload is less than the minimum workload, only half will be paid. If the workload is exceeded for ten consecutive days, a bonus of no less than ten coins will be given .Those who work for [-] consecutive days will be paid continuous service bonuses. Second, no one is required to serve in the military. Applicants can choose to stay at the construction site, or they can come early and leave late to live in their own homes.”

The old patriarch sighed, and said: "My lord is kind, and with the fact that you can go home at any time, there will be many people who are willing to come. What's more, this year's world is different from previous years, and it is difficult for everyone... But, my lord, If you are willing to convert your wages into steamed buns, I am afraid more people will be willing to apply. Three steamed buns a day, no, two are enough."

Xie Qianxin said that if he only gave out steamed buns and didn't pay wages, then he would be an ass.However, the fact of lack of food, if not solved, will cause big problems, it is better to bite the bullet and solve it together.So, he said: "Paying wages for corvee service is the rule of Dai Viet in the past, and I don't plan to change it. However, relatively, I plan to sell steamed buns in vegetable shops, and I will sell them... for a penny."

Everyone: "?"

Jasmine sweet-scented osmanthus said blankly: "Since every penny is a steamed bun, why can't you just distribute the steamed buns?"

Of course not.However, Xie Qian did not intend to explain the theory that "invigorating the circulation of gold and silver is to revitalize the economy of Shu County", so he thought for a while and gave a simple example:

"If there is a person with great strength and a small appetite, he can eat two steamed buns for a day of work. If the corvee distributes three steamed buns a day, then he can only give the extra steamed buns to others or save it. Put three Five days may not matter, but as time goes on, there will always be a day when it goes bad. He can't eat it, and he has no place to change it for other things, so he can only let these steamed buns go to waste. But if the distribution is copper coins, then he needs a few steamed buns. You can buy a few with copper coins, and whether you save the extra ones or buy other necessities, you can arrange it as you like."

The twin sisters nodded with half understanding.Mother Yang understood the truth, and couldn't help laughing: "That's fine. Even if you do this, adults will have to spend a few more steps, but who doesn't have many family members who are in corvée? Save up the remaining money, Improving the quality of life of family members is also a good thing that has always benefited the people of the county. Your Excellency is really a good official who thinks about the country and the people."

The sisters listened to Yang's mother's supplement, and then saw Xie Qian's sudden admiration, and said together: "My lord is wise!!"

Xie Qian: "..." Ashamed, he just wanted to add a few more posts and reduce the number of idle people in the county.

Whether it is a beautiful misunderstanding or a white lie, in short, this ancient road, which will be praised by countless people and sung by countless literati in the future, is on such an inconspicuous afternoon. The vegetable shop, which no one cared about, was officially included in Xie Qian's construction plan.

The decision is hasty, but the work is efficient but not hasty.After all, Mi County is Xie Qian's fiefdom, and no matter whether it is levy or appropriation, it can be distributed directly to Xie Qian.All the preparatory work was carried out quickly with unparalleled speed and efficiency.

The old patriarch, Mother Yang, and San Yang all joined the project.The respected old patriarch is responsible for the township and supervision, and maintains the smooth operation of all aspects of the entire project.Mother Yang followed Gou Yu to learn how to manage accounts, and Yang San was responsible for the overall planning of the early stage and the supervision of the later stage.To use the analogy of the current project, the old patriarch is the nominal project supervisor, and Yang San is the actual project manager.

The person in charge of the Lemo side had finalized the decision to participate in the important technical part of the road construction project. Xie Qian once again turned to foreign aid—Chen Mang and Xiaowei Chen who supervised the construction of the West Camp.

Chen Mang has handled many projects, so he took over this big project without saying a word.Although it was the first time to be in charge of road construction and corvee work, there are always many things in common in the project. It only took two days to recruit three masters from the workshop, and then brought back the brothers from Xiying Construction. This technology The team is ready.

The people are in place, and the funds are also in place quickly. Xie Qian and Gou Yu fought for three days. With He Feiyun's off-court and on-court support, they successfully won enough funds. Therefore, road construction, which benefits future generations, The project officially broke ground and started just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the day of the start of construction, the gods of heaven, land, and shamans all worshiped as usual. The first shovel was also jointly opened by Xie Qian and He Feiyun.After that, everything started to work slowly as Xie Qian expected.

On the fifth day of work, that is, the first day when wages were paid, the vegetable shop in Dongshi gradually had customers.With their newly paid wages and the leaflets they received in the past few days, the convicts came to the shop door anxiously, observed the situation carefully, and even more carefully asked about the price of the big basket of steaming buns at the door. .When they got the expected price, they all became happy from the bottom of their hearts, tried to buy a few steamed buns, and took them home to try.

At the beginning, the guests only bought a few steamed buns, and some were bold, and then brought a tasting bag to try something new.But soon, within three days, steamed buns became in short supply.Every morning, Xiying steamed two or three hundred steamed buns and transported them to the vegetable shop by horse-drawn car. It only took an hour for them to be sold out.

On the fourth day, Xie Qian made a decisive decision, allocated a few vacant rooms, and brought Zhang Ergou and his two new apprentices of Lemo over here to steam steamed buns for the vegetable shop.In this way, the trouble of transportation is avoided, and the daily supply has also tripled, with [-] steamed buns each in the morning, noon and evening.But after a few more days, the supply was still in short supply. In desperation, Xie Qian had no choice but to ask for a purchase limit, and each person could buy up to two per day. Finally, the trend of snapping up steamed buns was barely curbed.

The vegetable shop couldn't sell vegetables, but it only sold steamed buns, which made Song Xiaomei very busy.Little short legs ran from front to back, not only responsible for collecting money, packing, but also maintaining order.After suffering for more than ten days, not only could I not take a breather, but there were more and more customers. The workers got bonuses for continuous shifts. Sale of vegetables.

This was a pain for Song Xiaomei, the small scale she was carrying weighed one bag and then the next one, and the line outside the shop was still endless.Thanks to Zhang Ergou, after steaming the steamed buns, he brought his apprentice over to take a look. Seeing that she couldn’t do it all by herself, he left two apprentices, one to help sell the steamed buns, and the other to pack them, sharing part of the work. Finally, the tide of customers was stabilized, and Song Xiaomei finally had time to catch her breath.

After counting that night, only two of the [-] steamed buns were sold that were flattened and not in good shape. Two or three, five or six spinach seedlings were sold one after another, and more than half of them were sold one after another. Two clean.But compared with the good ones, the slightly more expensive cabbages and eggplants were not sold at all.

Song Xiaomei was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. She was so tired that she didn't sleep all night, and before dawn the next day, she ran into the tent of the boss in Xiying.

At that time, Xie Qian was comfortably nestled in He Feiyun's arms and sleeping soundly, when a yellow-haired girl disturbed his slumber, and when he got up, his complexion was not very good-looking.

His complexion was ugly, He Feiyun's complexion was even worse than his, and he was not busy with the morning business, so he simply stayed and accompanied Xie Qian to meet this little girl.

Song Xiaomei didn't care what the couple was thinking, her head was full of quick decisions to go back to take care of her vegetable shop, she didn't say a word of nonsense, and said straight to the face: "I want to hire two... no, three guys, it's better I have experience in selling things, and I will work as soon as I come!"

Xie Qian yawned, and said casually, "It's up to you to hire a guy, so you don't have to discuss it with me, do you?"

Song Xiaomei immediately patted the table, and said: "That's not acceptable. I promised you to take care of the shop alone, and now I have broken my promise to hire a man, how can I not discuss it with you?!"

"..." Xie Qian sighed helplessly, and said, "Although this vegetable shop is government-run, your second sister has entrusted you with full authority, and you can decide how to sell it. If it runs well, the monthly revenue will be [-]% One of them is counted as your commission, but this revenue does not just refer to how much you sell, but the net income after subtracting consumption and other expenses from the sales volume."

Song Xiaomei snorted, and said, "Am I trying to get a commission from your idea?! It won't be too late to talk about these things until the shop is open properly. Since you agree to my hiring, then I will hire them at the same wage as a corvee... ..."

"Yes." Xie Qian nodded, and his evaluation of Song Xiaomei improved a bit, and then he said, "You can ask about the specific salary standard..."

"No need." Song Xiaomei curled her lips, "I have already found out that the wages of the corvee are three pennies a day, and there are continuous attendance bonuses and excellent bonuses, right? The wages can be settled daily on my side, but the bonuses can't be paid. Why don't we distribute them all according to this? There are unavoidably bad vegetables and steamed buns in the shop every day, but any leftovers can be divided among them and taken home every night."

"You can make small calculations." Xie Qian laughed, and said, "But the work in your shop is always easier than corvee labor. It's up to you to decide, just don't treat the buddy too badly."

"Also, the store can't sell more than ten cents a catty. I plan to sell these dishes in small portions. Do you agree?"

Xie Qian: "If you think the small portion is easy to sell, then divide the small portion and try selling it for a few days."

"Okay, then I'm going to open the shop!" Song Xiaomei finished speaking in a hurry, without looking at the others, she turned around and went out, jumped on her little donkey, and went to the county town in a hurry.
