Chapter 90 Craftsman's Workshop
Since January, the great land reclamation in Beidi County has also made gratifying achievements. Fuping County has reclaimed about 50,000 mu of land due to Jia Rong's leadership and a large number of soldiers, and the remaining five counties have opened a total of 20,000 mu of land.
Jia Rong gave oral rewards to the county magistrates of each county. The county magistrates of the five counties are also carefully selected by Zhang Li. They don't care much about Jia Rong's lack of actual rewards. They also understand the situation in Beiding County, and it is Jia Rong's sentence "for the welfare of the people" that keeps their hearts firmly. Beichi County, and Jia Rong is also really working for the people.
The next day, Mi Zhu entered the Zhaoxian Hall with a low face. Since the opening of the Zhaoxian Hall, Jia Rong always came to sit here when he was free, waiting for the arrival of talented people.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I really can't help Beidi County. My ability is limited. I hope you can forgive me."
Jia Rong covered up the unhappiness on his face very well. No matter how bad a place is, it can't be useless. I really regret that I didn't study business well in the future world. This ancient businessman is too bad. You won't spend a lot of money on Bedi County. "Brother Zizhong, don't have to pay attention to it. I have a Brother Zizhong must be interested in the business.
Looking at Mi Zhu with his ears stretched out, Jia Rong smiled secretly in his heart. The world was full of profit. This sentence was really reasonable and whisperedly, "This time to eliminate the horse thief, there are still more than a hundred harvested horses. I don't know if Brother Zizhong can like it?"
Mi Zhu's body was shocked and his face was happy. This time he came to trade horses. He didn't want to be plundered by horse thieves, but then these good horses fell into Jia Rong's hands. He came back empty-handed with a full load. Even if he spent more money to exchange these horses, it was worth it. He went back and sold them at a higher price. "Oh, Zhi Yuanxian Are you serious about what I said?" There was a little trembling in Mi Zhu's voice.
Jia Rong nodded affirmatively and said with a positive face, "It's worth paying any price for the people of Bedi County."
As a businessman, Mi Zhu was also stained by Jia Rong's aura. He shouted, "Okay, Zhiyuan Xian, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer losses as a brother."
After that, the two conspired for a long time before agreeing on the result.
Mi Zhu is responsible for the grain problem of Beidi County, while Jia Rong supplies Mi Zhu with 500 war horses. Nowadays, the most indispensable one in Beidi County is the war horse. The war horse also consumes forage in their spare time. It's better to be a favor, but it is still reluctant to give so many war horses to Mi Zhu at one time. These are all I got it from my hard work over the years.
I can't bear to give up the child without the wolf, and I can't give up the horse without food! In line with this concept, Jia Rong and Lehe's Mi Zhu reached an agreement. Some old and weak war horses and Mi Zhu also paid a lot of money to buy them. The old and weak in Jia Rong's eyes are not like that at all in Mi Zhu's eyes. These war horses are slightly more carefully fed and can be sold at a good price.
Finally, there is no need to worry about the problem of food. Jia Rong also breathed a long sigh of relief. If you count on the help of the Hanting, the people of Beidi County, including the army, are waiting to starve to death. Now the country of the Han Dynasty is devastated. The sacrifice is big, and it is also abandoning the border county. It's not that those businessmen are unwilling to come to Bedi County to invest in business, but that the situation in Beichi County does not tolerate them. Although Jia Rong's policy is attractive, if the Qiang people invades it again, those investments will be wasted.
On the surface, it seems that the Han court doesn't care about Bedi County and let it go. In fact, it is also the temporary abandonment of the Han Dynasty to Bedi County. Otherwise, how can Jia Rong be so careless? Although Jia Rong's political awareness is not high, there is still a point.
Now Bedi County has added more than 70,000 mu of land, and the per capita can get an acre of land. After a long war, Bedi County is located in the border county, with a rough population of less than 100,000, which is the county with the smallest population in the Han Dynasty.
The next thing to do is to organize the people's autumn ploughing, which is related to the situation of Beadi County in the coming year. Only relying on yourself is the most stable, and relying on the Xuzhou Mi family is just an expedient measure.
In the recruitment hall, Jia Rong looked at the middle-aged man on the lower seat with a smile. His dark and shiny face, thick muscles, the thick cocoons on his hands were faintly visible, and a few sesame-sized holes could be faintly seen on his decent linen shirt.
"Are you the famous Liu Blacksmith in the city? Very good!" Jia Rong gently put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
Liu Blacksmith stammed and said, "Yes... yes... the villain is."
Looking at the fine sweat on Liu's blacksmith's face, Jia Rong comforted him softly, "Don't be excited. Will I still eat you?" Are you afraid that I will kill you for money? Besides, I'm not ugly when I'm old?" After saying that, Jia Rong also touched his face funny.
Liu Blacksmith couldn't help laughing. He had nothing. There was nothing worthy of the attention of the Taishou Lord in front of him. Looking at the approachable Taishou Lord, he unconsciously got a lot closer to Jia Rong, and his words did not stag.
Liu Blacksmith has been following his master to fight iron since he was a child. He has been invading this road for more than 20 years. He has a lot of experience in iron. He is talking about the creation of weapons, which makes Jia Rong have to treat the middle-aged man in front of him with new eyes.
"You are a famous blacksmith in the city. We met last time. I called you here for something." Being in the position of Taishou for a long time, he is used to giving orders, and Jia Rong's tone is also a little unquestionable.
The blacksmith Liu, who lost his previous formality, banged his chest and said, "If you have any instructions, please feel free to mention it. The villain will do his best." For the young Taishou in front of him, he can't help but be unconvinced. Now no one in Beidi County mentions Jia Rong and praises him repeatedly.
For business, Jia Rong has always maintained a careless attitude, "Very good! Liu Blacksmith listened to the order. From now on, I will appoint you as the leader of the blacksmith of Bedi County, responsible for the construction of Bedi County, and be under the command of this Taishou.
When Blacksmith Liu first heard such good news, he stayed in place for a long time before he came to his senses and fell to the ground and said, "The villain must strike the iron well to repay the great kindness of the Taishou." For a long time, Hu Zhun has been the envy of Liu Blacksmith. He is looking forward to being appreciated and surpassing one day. I didn't expect that this day would come so fast, which made Liu Blacksmith a little confused for a while, and the loudness of kowtowing was better than that of Hu Zhun at the beginning.
Jia Rong walked to Liu's blacksmith, patted him gently on the shoulder and helped him up.
A person like Liu Blacksmith may not be a good leader, but he is a good technician. Even if he is given a nominal job, he will not care. All he wants is his skills to be appreciated.
"When you go back, recruit a wide range of blacksmiths you know, and then I will set up a special craftsman workshop for your use, and the establishment of the craftsman workshop still needs your help to build a bigger workshop." Jia Rong said to the excited Liu blacksmith.
Liu Blacksmith nodded like a chicken eating rice, and he accepted it all.
Looking at Liu Blacksmith who left happily, Jia Rong seemed to remember something and also turned around and left Zhaoxian Hall.
When he came to the Beadi County warehouse, Jia Rong further agreed with his point of view and finally had a new discovery. This joy is no less than the discovery of a new continent. Maybe he can make a lot of money from it, but it is still not suitable to take it out for the time being.
The Taishou Mansion has posted a new notice. Unlike in the past, the people of Bedi County scrambled to watch, and the people crowded around the periphery constantly inquired about what the notice was said.
A scholar shook his head and said, "From now on, Taishou Mansion will recruit craftsmen who are good at building houses, including food and accommodation, ten yuan a day, and pay the bill every day. If you want to sign up, please go to the Taishou Mansion as soon as possible!"
Xiucai had just finished reading the notice. Looking back, he found that most of the crowd had dispersed, and the rest were all old and weak people. He couldn't help shaking his head again and said, "Nonsense, nonsense." Looking at the cannibalising eyes of the people next to him, Xiucai hurriedly turned around and left.
Establishing a craftsman's workshop can make an errand for ordinary people who are idle at home, and can also bring back a little subsidy for poor families. This is also to boost the economy. Even if they are not paid, those people will compete for food and accommodation. Ten yuan is about two yuan for later generations, in the barren north. The county still has a certain purchasing power.
It has always been 1,000 yuan, and you can buy a stone of grain, and a stone of grain is about 120 catties. That is to say, the consistent money is enough for an ordinary family to eat and eat for a month. These craftsmen come out to work, which not only saves the food at home, but also brings back some subsidized household.
The next morning, there was a long queue outside the recruitment hall of the Taishou Mansion. There were soldiers maintaining discipline. These people were very responsible for waiting in line. The officials in charge of registration were very busy. They had just experienced the opening of wasteland and came to such a craftsman's workshop again. As the saying goes, it was the blacksmith's shop, but the popularity of the Taishou Mansion was really too popular. Well, these officials who are responsible for registration are also for the benefit of the people. Although it is harder, it is also worth it.
Looking at the bustling scene in front of the Taishou Mansion, Jia Rong stepped in all directions to a commoner and asked, "What's your name?" What will it be?"
When the people saw that a man who looked like an official asked, they did not dare to neglect it. They bowed respectfully and replied, "Little man Wang San, the villain can't do anything, but he has some physical strength. Let's see if he can help."
Jia Rong shook his head after hearing this. The economy of Bei Di County is too bad. It is estimated that the people usually stay at home and take care of an acre of land. Whether they can eat and clothing depends on whether God is good or not. Such a hard work is scrambling to do, "When did you come here?" Jia Rong saw that his position was relatively high and asked.
"The villain got up before dawn and came all the way. I didn't expect that there were so many people in the Taishou Mansion." After saying that, Wang San's face was regretful.
Jia Rong asked a few more people and found that there were not many craftsmen who could really build houses, and there were many people who came to try their luck. How could this work? It seems that there will be more such work in the future.
