Regarding the Nanshan Engineering Team matter, Qi Xiangru came to Pei Yun for discussion.
Pei Yun's answer was, "Yes, as long as the wages can be paid. First of all, their wages are a little more expensive."
If you can have work and get paid, no one will miss it.
Qi Xiangru smiled politely: "As far as your relationship is concerned, do you need to put money where your mouth is?"
Pei Yun said seriously: "Of course it is needed. Brothers must settle the accounts. If things like money are not explained clearly, it will be troublesome. Besides, I don't want the money. I want it for them. I don't have it myself.
Share their money."
In Nanshan Village, there are actually things to do.
Such as digging stones, etc...such as making porcelain, etc...
But as I said before, professional things need to be done by professionals.
These people are suitable for this profession, and asking them to change their careers to do something else would be a disservice to their talents.
Professional people will not be happy if they do something that is not professional.
The Nanshan Engineering Team is also Pei Yun's idea of modern civil engineering. Pei Yun naturally wants to see the Nanshan Engineering Team Captain grow up.
Of course, fundamentally speaking, it is to give them skills so that they can make money and live a good life.
Feeding all the people in Nanshan Village is what Pei Yun wanted to do, and this can be considered accomplished.
For Pei Yun, this is also a sense of accomplishment.
Just like Qi Xiangru asking for wages, it is a sense of accomplishment.
In fact, Pei Yun himself did not receive a penny. The purpose was to allow the Nanshan Engineering Team to obtain more benefits.
Seeing Pei Yun's serious look, Qi Xiangru was amused: "Okay, you can say whatever you want, but have you ever thought about it. If you want me to give them more money, all the money spent will come from you."
Yes, no, to be precise, it cost my future grandson’s money.”
"This..." Pei Yun was speechless for a moment, because this statement was correct.
Everything Qi Xiangru left to Hu Sisi, and Qi Xiangru had promised before that if he and Hu Sisi had children, one of them would be named Qi.
In this way, the money spent on Qi Xiangru now is equivalent to the money spent on one’s own children in the future.
Pei Yun scratched his hair and smiled: "Just give them as much as they deserve. I'm not saying you should give them randomly. This is what they deserve."
…
There was a door plaque placed in front of him. Qi Xiangru was writing on the plaque, and finally wrote the word "Huzhuang".
Hu, naturally is the Hu of Hu Sisi.
Village means that this place will become a mountain villa.
In order to make salt, Qi Xiangru planned to spend money to build a villa.
This is also the reason why Nanshan Engineering Team is confident.
In a place that requires thousands of people to work, it is suitable to build a mountain villa.
In fact, when Pei Yun thought about it, thousands of people were nothing.
Just build some factories or something and that will solve the problem.
As for building any ornamental buildings, there is no need to do so.
This is a place to work.
With greenery, sunshine, and air circulation, that's pretty much it.
In Pei Yun's opinion, it is more appropriate to replace the word "zhuang" with the word "factory".
But calling it Hu Factory would be too petty.
When others hear the name Huzhuang, they feel superior.
Pei Yun has no objection to the word Huzhuang.
Qi Xiangru's original intention was to increase Hu Sisi's reputation, and even the salt he made was called Hu salt.
From then on, there was an additional kind of salt in Daqin, which was labeled with the symbol of Hu Yan.
And salt is not something that ordinary people can eat.
Produced by Hu Yan, it is only refined salt and is specially supplied to Kyoto.
The emergence of salt production also triggered a phenomenon: the price of salt in Kyoto dropped.
A very simple truth.
Kyoto's market share is only that large. As long as the market share remains unchanged, if the quantity of salt increases, the price of salt will be brought down.
Another one.
The selling price of salt is lower than other salts, but the quality is the same.
If the amount of salt is not large, this problem is not big.
A small number of cheap goods cannot really shake the market pricing.
But there was more salt than expected.
In this way, the salt from other stores can only be priced at the same price as Hu Salt.
In other words, today’s salt production has the effect of influencing the price of salt in Kyoto.
When he heard the news, Pei Yun was not happy, but couldn't help but sigh.
Pei Yun was in Huzhuang at this time, Qin Qier, Hu Sisi, and Nangong Qianrong were also in Huzhuang.
Qi Xiangru is in Min County.
Min County needed him to take charge, and Hu Sisi was mainly responsible for Huzhuang's affairs.
This was Hu Sisi's duty as a salt-making envoy.
Hu Sisi: "Master, do you think this is a bad thing?"
Pei Yun: "How can being treated as a spearman be a good thing? Don't you understand the pros and cons of this?"
Such a sentence should be said in private. If outsiders heard it, they would think it was treason.
The person being regarded as a spearman in these words refers to the imperial court behind the scenes.
Hu Sisi understands, but such a topic is sensitive. As a woman, it would be really bold for her to talk about such a topic.
But she is not just a woman, she is a salt-maker, Min County belongs to her family, and more importantly, she belongs to the son.
There was nothing that Hu Sisi did not dare to say, and he said: "Competitive price reduction will arouse public anger. They are angry with the court and dare not speak out. In the end, it will only be us, the salt producers, who will suffer."
Pei Yun: "I support suppressing salt prices, but I don't like the thought of us having to bear the risks."
"Although there's nothing to complain about. We could have predicted that something like this would happen from the beginning. Making salt makes my hands cramp from counting money, but I don't think my request should be like this."
"Yu Changsheng promised a lot of benefits before. As long as you can make a difference in making salt, you will be promoted and rewarded. This is a good thing, but what I want to consider is what else I can get from it."
Hu Sisi: "If you have an idea, Master, I will fully support it."
Pei Yun: "This is not urgent. The first thing now is to prevent what will happen next. Were you almost injured during your inspection today?"
As a salt-making officer, it is necessary to inspect the salt affairs. But today, a pot of boiling brine was knocked over in front of Hu Sisi. The reason was that the pot was burned out. Fortunately, it was a false alarm and no real injuries were caused.
people.
"To say that the pot burned out is a bit hard to believe. A pot made by Niu Lili can be burned out. Could it be that my teaching is not good enough? If it is said to be man-made, I can accept it."
Hu Sisi: "I understand what the young master means. There is probably someone behind this incident who wants to deal with me. Someone sees me as a thorn in their side."
"I just didn't expect that the problem would be internal. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
