Two hundred and sixty-eighth chapter live advertisement
After development, the Zhongguo Palace has more than forty workers of various kinds. They all joined the Zhongguo Palace and became domestic slaves. Unless Shen Ao lets go, they will only be used by the Zhongguo Palace for generations to come. Even if he is a loyal servant, Shen Ao naturally believes that he will instill some advanced design ideas and concepts into the big workers when he has nothing to do, just like this horizontal loom, after having detailed After drawing the drawings, the engineers completed the development without much effort and a short amount of time, and received praise from Shen Ao.
"Yes, but everyone who participated in the drawing will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." Looking at the patterned cloth woven by the horizontal loom, Shen Ao nodded with satisfaction, and then said what he wanted. The great workers expressed their excitement.
The reason why everyone gave up the freedom of being a good citizen and joined the loyal government and became a slave is that they hope to change their quality of life, earn more money, and live a better life?
Facts have also proved that if you follow Shen Ao, you will have meat to eat every day. This time, you will be rewarded fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to the wealth that ordinary people can earn after working hard for two years or more. This proves that they The choice is absolutely correct.
"Increase investment and seize the time to make a batch first." Thinking that many people are waiting for the arrival of horizontal looms and waiting to use their hard-working hands to change their living conditions, Shen Ao looked at Hu De Waiting for the work to begin, orders for mass production are issued.
Shen Ao didn't mention the matter of keeping secrets. As soon as he came, he was a domestic slave of the Zhongguo Palace. If he dared to betray his master, the punishment under the Daqian Law was extremely severe, usually his life would be lost. Faced with the situation where he dared to betray his master, he would be punished. As a result, not many people have the courage to do this?
Not to mention, Shen Ao had already taken precautions. Each major engineer was only responsible for a key position. Even if someone had the idea, he would not be able to build an entire horizontal machine without seeing the complete drawings. Of the loom. As for all the great workers betraying him, Shen Ao doesn't think that such a thing will happen. If it does happen, then he will definitely no longer exist. Even so, it doesn't matter whether he betrayed or not. relation?
Once the loom is available, the next step is the person responsible for weaving. Shen Ao has never worried about this. Daqian advocates male supremacy, and women's social status has always been very low. Now that they have it, women can make money Who would not seize the opportunity to make a comeback? On the contrary, Shen Ao was worried about whether the loom would be enough.
Before enough horizontal looms appeared, Shen Ao could only put this matter aside. He is now paying more attention to the problems of building houses and roads. The problems of Xue Fei, Ao Qi and others Accompanied by them, the group came to the Beicheng District of Daliang.
Today's Beicheng District is no longer as desolate as before. Instead, new houses have been erected and the land is flat. From a distance, it looks like a bustling and busy scene.
Everyone who works on the construction site for one day will be paid fifty cents, which can be paid once a day. In one month, it is one or two and a half cents. More importantly, the construction site is still under control, and two meals are late. Good things make many people flock to them. In addition to serving farmland, there are few profitable jobs. Working on construction sites is equivalent to giving countless people the opportunity to work and realize the hope of a better life through their own hands.
For this reason, an unknown number of adult men and common people come to the construction site every day, looking for job opportunities. As more and more people come, there is a surplus, so that many people who come late just want to work hard. You can't even enter the construction site, so you can only watch with envy as other people sweat and earn money there.
When Shen Ao arrived, this was what Shen Xing told him. "Young Master, job opportunities are limited. Nowadays, more and more people have no job opportunities. It's really shocking to see how helpless they are. I feel pity for you."
As the steward of the Zhongguo Palace, Shen Xing is undoubtedly the oldest. This is an old man who has worked with Shen Yuntian, and Shen Ao calls him Uncle Shen. Therefore, he does not need to be too embarrassed when speaking. Note that at least he is not very nervous when seeing Shen Ao like other people.
"Yes, just building houses cannot solve the work problems of so many people." Shen Ao nodded as if he had some idea, "We are waiting for a few days until the textile threads can be mass-produced and distributed to the people. That's good. There is also the matter of road construction, and cement is now being stepped up in mass production. Well, you can consider recruiting people first, and first build the palace in front of the palace, Guochanglong, Daqian Qianzhuang, Xianweiju, and Wuyoufu. , the entrances to the Zhongchenghou Mansion, the Su family’s old residence, and the Zhongwang Mansion should be repaired.”
The textile machine thing is easy to handle. I believe that once it is taken out, it will definitely be robbed by the people. But the problem of road construction is different. It is mainly about making money from businessmen, and it requires careful planning. Shen Ao is not a big man. A good person would not build a road for free, and that would be impossible without enough money.
"Okay, the manpower is ready. Why don't we start working today, and we can count on half a day's wages." Shen Xing was kind-hearted, and when he heard that there was a job available, he was not willing to wait any longer.
"That's fine, Uncle Shen will do whatever he wants." Shen Ao smiled with a clear light in his eyes. He was very willing to do something for the people while making money.
Just after Shen Ao finished speaking, Shen Xing left in a hurry. The roads in the Zhongguo Palace had long been replaced by cement roads. He had some experience in how to build roads. So he didn't want to wait for a moment and walked straight towards those people. Walking in front of the people waiting to go to work.
After a while, there were waves of cheers. Needless to say, these were the sounds of joy from the people after they knew that there was money to be made.
The arrival of Shen Ao has changed Daliang City. If anyone could look down from a high altitude at this time, they would probably be able to see that many places in the city were in full swing. Although it is not like in later generations, there are machines of this kind to complement each other. But The great man said that there is strength in numbers. With the concerted efforts of the people, truckloads of cement were sent everywhere, and iron tools used to build roads were hauled away by truckloads, making him known as the King of Iron Tools. Fan Shixi was extremely happy.
Shen Ao had reminded Fan Shixi before and asked him to create enough Yi (the name of the ancient shovel), saying that it would be of great use.
Out of trust in Shen Ao, Fan Shixi prepared some, but the quantity was not as much as Shen Ao said. In his opinion, things like Yi could only be used to dig holes and had limited use. He really wanted to It's of no great use.
Now it's fine, the newly made Yi has been ordered by Daqian Bank. You can get as much as you want. The price is the market price without any discount. As a result, the Fan family has made a fortune. Fan Shixi, who was convinced by Shen Ao, started working overnight. He only regretted that he didn't believe everything he said before, otherwise he would have made more money.
Now that things have happened, not only the Fan family, but also other blacksmith shops have also seen the opportunity and started to rush to make it. This is tantamount to taking meat from his mouth. How can Fan Shixi not feel distressed? Now he only I hope Shen Ao can customize more from his own house because of the good relationship between us recently.
It’s not just the Fan family. Because whether it is building houses or building roads, it is one of the heavy physical labors. If you want the people to maintain sufficient physical strength, they need to maintain sufficient heat energy in terms of nutritional intake. Therefore, The consumption of food and meat in the city also accelerated. I was delighted that while these merchants continued to ship goods, they also sent people to purchase goods from other state capitals, and they all took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Consumption was stimulated invisibly, which was one of the benefits of money circulation. As a result, the yamen could collect more business taxes, and Emperor Qianwen also had a lot more smiles on his face.
The revenue from the treasury gradually increased and became more abundant, which gave Emperor Qianwen more thoughts. He began to consider the possibility of doing things that he had just thought about before but could not implement.
Shen Ao naturally didn't know the emperor's thoughts. As a descendant of later generations, Shen Ao hated war. It would not only kill many people, but also trample on human civilization and cause great damage to the economy. He Now all I want to do is make more money while increasing my influence and laying enough foundations to break up the marriage.
With Shen Ao's permission, in just six days, the front door of Xianweiju was completely new. A brand new, clean, and spacious cement road was placed in front of everyone.
It took three days to build a one-kilometer-long simple cement road, and another three days to cool it down. As a result, Xianweiju was temporarily closed for six days. When it reopened, there were many people holding membership cards. The rich people were shocked by the concrete road that appeared in their eyes.
Compared with other bumpy roads, even when the bearer walks on them, they are bumpy and bumpy, making it very uncomfortable to sit in them. In contrast, once we get to the vicinity of Xianweiju, everything becomes smoother. When he got up, he looked so stable that even if he slept in the sedan, there would be no problem.
Among the members who originally came to dine, many people were not in a hurry to enter Weiju, but walked up and down the cement road curiously, with sighs in their eyes and mouths. Some people had already decided to inquire. I wonder if such a road can be built in front of my home. If so, it will be much more convenient to travel on rainy days, and I won’t have to worry about dirty water splashing on me from the dirty roads everywhere.
The newly built cement road in front of Xianweiju is like a living advertisement, hitting the hearts of these rich people and making them agitated. Wait until they really send people to find out if they can build a cement road in front of their homes. At that time, the answer turned out to be yes, but it would cost a sum of money to repair the road.
