Time is like fine sand slipping through your fingers. You don't feel it when you are stable, but when you need it, you find that it slips away as fast as a flood.
Ye An spent most of this time in the Puhui business, but today he had to go to Puhui Village. He was leaving Beijing, but before that he had to calm people's hearts.
The news about Yunzhong Junhou being demoted has spread throughout the city of Tokyo, and Puhuizhuang is undoubtedly the place that has been most affected. People here, regardless of men, women, old and young, have benefited from Ye An, and instinctively hope that Yunzhong Jun
The Hou Mansion is better.
But when all kinds of rumors spread wildly, people's minds were agitated. Fortunately, everything was normal for the time being at Puhui Store, and the business was not affected. Although there were various rumors, no one left Puhui Store.
This is not only because the benefits here are good and the wages are high, but also because of the education.
People are more willing to believe that what Ye An did was an act of justice, and that admonishing the saint was a righteous act for the officials to take over the government as soon as possible. On the contrary, they were quite critical of Liu E's demotion of Ye An.
Fortunately, this is an era where the atmosphere is still open, otherwise the complaints in Puhui Village alone would be enough for Ye An to "drink a pot".
Since he was leaving the city of Tokyo temporarily, he had to do a good job in settling in. Ye An never regarded these farmers as his own tools to make money, but instead regarded them as his own workers.
The existence of these bankers is their own responsibility. While they bring benefits to themselves, they are also obliged to protect their lives.
So Ye An walked into the crowd with the most equal status and spoke: "I am going to Ganliang under the orders of the imperial court. You should know the news. Some people even want to follow me to Ganliang. Don't think that this is a hard job. I am going to Ganliang."
When has Hou ever done anything that caused a loss?!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Ye An's confidence infected many bankers, especially the old bankers, who knew Ye An's character. Since he arrived at Puhui Village, the banker has never suffered a loss.
"Then what are you doing in that remote place in the northwest?!"
Ye An knew that someone would ask this question, so he smiled and said: "What? Of course, to make a lot of money! The goods of our Puhui Village are all bought from Tokyo City, or from Tokyo City to all states across the country.
But there are so many people in this world! You must have heard of the Western Region Trade Road, right? It is known as the Silk Road and is filled with gold and silver. People in the Western Region lack everything, including gold and silver treasures and spices.
Jewelry, hehe... Think about it if the ironware, sweaters, patent medicines, porcelain, and even pottery on our Zhuangzi can be exchanged for wealth such as gold, silver, ivory, spices, and gemstones from the Western Regions. What would that look like?
!”
"Scare! Are the goods we make so valuable?!"
The old man standing at the front couldn't help but sigh, while Ye An curled his lips and said: "What do you think? That's how short-sighted it is. I went out this time not only to buy goods from our company, but also to take some of you with me."
Let’s go and learn more!”
"Master Hou, who can go to Ganliang with you?!"
Finally, someone couldn't hold back the desire in his heart and raised a question that everyone was concerned about. Ye An naturally would not dampen the enthusiasm of everyone present, and said with a smile: "Of course there are skilled people, and skilled young apprentices can also follow.
Those who go to Ganliang, no matter how much they have worked before or how much their monthly salary is, will be doubled! However, there are other conditions. Those who have parents at home must obtain their parents' consent before they can go. If they have no brothers, they must stay and serve their parents.
Those who need to be eighteen years old and no more than forty will be selected first from those who have been in the village the longest, and gradually downwards. Only 300 people will be recruited this time, and we will only recruit people when the number is full! If necessary, we will recruit more people in the future.
, there is no need to feel bad even if you are not selected this time, there will be opportunities in the future.”
After Ye An finished speaking, he paused, pointed to a tall flag in the village and said: "Did you see it? That is the escort flag of Ping An Trading Company. From now on, all the monthly salary you send home will be escorted by Ping An Trading Company."
, I guarantee that it will be delivered to your mother-in-law or old parents. If it is lost, I will personally replenish it! If you want to make a fortune with me now, please go to Manager Wang to sign up. If the time expires in three days, you will not wait. We will set off in three days.
Those who have completed three years can return to Puhui Village to take up new positions! Even when promoting managers in various factories, these people will be given priority!"
Ye An gave the villagers almost irresistible conditions. Han people are the most able to endure hardships. As long as they are given a hope and a space for advancement, they will not be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles.
This excellent quality has lasted for thousands of years and is unmatched by other civilizations.
As Ye An's "speech" ended, the news spread throughout Puhui Village, and villagers flocked to register with Wang Gang, but the number of places was limited.
This made those who were still a little wavering immediately firm up their stance. Yunzhong Commandery has not declined, Puhui Company is still stable, and going to Ganliang is not a chore.
The rest is left to Qin Mumu. As the prince of Yunzhong County, his mere appearance in Zhuangzi is enough to stabilize people's hearts.
Qin Mumu is an alternative existence in Puhui Village. As the mistress, she has the same rights as Ye An here. Under her scientific arrangements, the required materials are loaded into the truck, and the managers of each factory gather at her
He was as respectful as if he were seeing a big shopkeeper.
Without Qin Mumu saying anything, the managers of each factory took turns to report the situation: "To let Madam know, the ironworks factory organized and packed the large and small iron drills, clamp bases, and tools into boxes, and also loaded the fans and pulleys and other sundries into the trucks."
"Has the water conservancy forging hammer assembly also been installed on the truck?"
The manager of the ironworks looked troubled and said: "To answer my wife's question, the forging hammer and the force column are too heavy to be loaded into the truck. However, the woodwork factory has already made a six-wheeled flatbed truck, and our ironworks has also prepared shock-absorbing steel bars. We still need
It’ll be fine in a few days.”
Qin Mumu nodded slightly: "Of course I won't embarrass you. As long as it can be transported to Ganliang, that's fine. But the old forging hammer that was transported away? The Marquis ordered not to transport the new forging hammer to Ganliang. If you are greedy for credit,
The output of the new factory is so high, don’t blame this county for being unkind!”
The manager of the iron factory did not dare to say: "Don't worry, Lord County, we dare not go against the wishes of the Marquis. These boxed items are all old things. The iron factory has already made new equipment according to the instructions of the Marquis before dismantling and loading the old things."
This is true for all the tools in the box. I don’t dare to deceive the owner.”
Qin Mumu nodded with satisfaction. The situation of other families was similar. Ye An said that although Ganliang is a borderland, there is no shortage of materials there. It is just that there is perennial turmoil and there has been no development in Borderland.
That's all.
Even with Qin Mumu's limited geographical knowledge, he knew that Ganzhou was Zhangye in later generations, and Zhangye was known as the "land of mulberry and hemp" and "the land of fish and rice", and also had considerable coal reserves.
Although it has temporarily fallen into the hands of the Uighurs, with Ye An's character... I am afraid he will regain control soon.
As for Liangzhou, it is the city of Wuwei in later generations. The saying "Five Liang Capital, Hexi City" is not for nothing. Nature is so rich. One of my sisters in the university dormitory is from Wuwei. She often boasts that there are no mineral resources in the country.
Wuwei cannot be found.
Seeing that it was getting late and all the factory managers had finished reporting, Qin Mumu left with satisfaction. However, she still wanted to find some unmarried women to go to Ganliang. In her eyes, women were not weaker than men.
What's more, the female workers and male workers in Puhui Village are managed separately. The female workers follow Qin Mumu's arrangements. Even Ye An, as a marquis, cannot directly manage the female workers. The female workers who got the news today are already clamoring to follow.
I went to Ganliang by myself. If I didn’t go, I would inevitably break the hearts of those female workers...
In fact, this was a "pre-war mobilization" coordinated by Ye An and Qin Mumu in order to allow the bankers of Puhui Village to work with peace of mind, and at the same time, it was also a way to boost morale.
