Chapter 43

"It's all a bunch of ungrateful wolves who are not familiar with it!"

The third master kept slamming the table, which made Liu Chun's ears buzz, "Well, dad, don't be so angry!"

"Hmph!" The third master suddenly stood up, stretched out his finger, and knocked on the table angrily, "How can I not get angry? I did a good job. They took the land, turned around and ran away, and threw down such a big stall. What should I do with military rations? What should I do with gunpowder, and the iron smelting workshop... Do you think you can do it anymore?"

"Of course I have to do it, this is our family's way of making money!" Liu Chun said sure.

The third master sat down, grabbed the teapot, took a big mouthful of tea, put it down, and said angrily: "Speak lightly, now everyone has run away, what do you think you will do? Not to mention anything else, Duke Song and King Yan still have military rations. If you can't hand it over on time, if someone asks us to miss the military opportunity, your head will be gone!"

"Of course, I can't get better. If you want to behead your head, I will chop my first!" The third master felt that it was unreasonable to be angry with Liu Chun. He sighed, "Why do you think these people are so unaware of being kind to the point? It's really hateful! Otherwise... I will take my troops and capture them now!"

Liu San finally remembered that he was still a hundred households in Aries and the identity of the Jinyiwei, so he still had power!

Liu Chun hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be stupid, don't be stupid, officials, if they go to the countryside to do evil, the people can arrest them and send them to the capital!"

Lao Zhu does have this rule. Liu San was so angry that he rolled his eyes and complained in his heart, Your Majesty, aren’t you causing trouble for us?

Why are you taking care of those mud legs like that?

As expected, no one can escape the fate of the head.

These days, the Third Master has actually become a capitalist enlightenment.

Liu Chun took a deep breath, "Complaints are useless, the key is to figure out why all the workers ran away?"

"Is this a question? Isn't it wrong to say that they are ungrateful wolves?"

The third master cursed, but he thought about it... Strictly speaking, the workers and civilians in Aries were recruited in the name of war.

According to the rules of the court, they only need to bear one month of corvee service, which can be extended to forty days at most... and it is also a plan to produce a land that produces a land that produces a man of a man.

Obviously, these regulations were all Zhu Yuanzhang's care for the poor people.

But if Comrade Zhu's regulations were followed, how could Liu Chun gather enough workers to process military rations quickly?

There was no way, he could only pay for the civilians to start wages, which was not enough, so he took out the land and gathered enough workers in a short time... At that time, Liu Chun stipulated that he could get the land after working for three months.

When working in practice, some people work hard and some know how to skill, and they get the land they deserve in advance.

It doesn't matter if you get the land, and the workers start to calculate.

On average, each person has more than one acre of land, and some families can get as much as five acres!

I saw autumn, and now when I go back, I can still grow a batch of autumn vegetables and keep them for winter. Maybe I can buy some more. In addition, I earned a wage, although I don’t have much money, I can still have a fat year.

What's more, there will be another month when the autumn harvest will be coming, and there will be your own land waiting for them!

Now, they ran away one after another.

"I told them that they would not do it if they were given extra salaries! These elm-heads deserve to be so little Tianqiong died!" The third master was still angry.

Liu Chun was relatively calm. He was too familiar with this situation. To put it bluntly, these people were migrant workers!

And he was forced to come out to work.

Why is the small peasant economy stable?

Thirty acres of land, one cow, and a wife and children are warm on the kang.

Farmers grow and eat by themselves and are self-sufficient.

It is simply better to let them leave their homes, follow other people's commands, and be honest as workers.

Even in later generations, young people who came from the countryside were willing to open a small restaurant, a small hair salon, a small fruit shop... and become their own boss. Only if they have no choice will they go to the production line to work as workers.

This problem is countless times more serious to the people of the Ming Dynasty!

Lao Zhu has only been dividing the land for twenty years, and the north is relatively large and sparsely populated. He can live by farming. If Liu Chun hadn't used the land to lure them, he wouldn't have persisted until today!

what to do?

Is the newly established family business going to collapse?

The third master was so anxious that he was still counting on making money to marry Miss Feng! Judging from his current appearance, let alone making money, I am afraid that even the orders could not be completed as scheduled!

Liu Chun thought about it seriously and said, "Actually it's not that bad!"

He analyzed the situation to the third master... It is true that many workers have left, but the craftsmen are still there!

These craftsmen are craftsmen from Peking. They are born to do this, so they can't run away.

Liu Chun was able to quickly build a workshop, but he didn't rely on his golden finger to get everything. In fact, King Yan Zhu Di made great efforts.

To produce wooden barrels, to painters, to fiddle with stone mills, to blacksmiths, to coachmen... all the people who have this set of people were arranged by Zhu Di.

Liu Chun was just responsible for assigning them well, letting them perform their own duties, and leading the workers in Aries to work.

The craftsmen lived a comfortable life in Aries. Liu Chun gave more wages than the court, and even arranged them to live in the Lu family's house. They had good food and were served by someone, which was much better than in Peking.

Now they would rather work for Liu Chun than return to Peking.

"What we lack now is some workers who have worked hard. The purses and military uniforms have been temporarily completed. As long as some women are dropped, they should be able to fill in the vacancy!"

"Woman?"

Liu San couldn't believe his ears. Is his son crazy? Let a bunch of women work like men? Who would be willing?

The third master kept shook his head, "You are a bad idea, it will definitely not work!"

Liu Chun chuckled, "Don't rush to deny it first! Have you ever heard a saying? Do you ask women to be used as men and men to be animals? I think it will work!"

...

Sister Zhang received Liu Chun's instructions and was responsible for taking care of Xu Miaojin. After two days of getting along, she found that Xu Miaojin was really good, not delicate, and had no temper. She did a lot of things herself and tried not to bother others.

But sometimes she would sit there in a daze, and it would take more than an hour to sit, and I didn’t know what she was thinking. Sister Zhang could see that Xu Miaojin had something to do in her heart and was unwilling to say it.

She couldn't ask, and many times, the two of them were just sitting alone... Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand it. She secretly took out a booklet, then took out a charcoal pen, and wrote and painted on it.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Miaojin stood behind the focused Mrs. Zhang at some point.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly put away the booklet and said uneasy: "Girl, the old woman is confused. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again next time."

Xu Miaoyun smiled indifferently, "It's nothing. I see you drew a lot of circles. What does it mean?"

Sister Zhang was embarrassed. She spread the booklet open, her face turned red and said, "Girl, don't tell me, I lied to Xiao Ye and Mr. Liu!"

Xu Miaojin's eyes were shiny and she became even more curious.

Sister Zhang could only tell her that Liu Chun asked at that time, who knew who was responsible for keeping the books and could receive an extra three cents a day.

As a result, Sister Zhang volunteered. God felt sorry for her that she could only write five words in her name! How to keep accounts? But the facts proved that Sister Zhang not only completed the account, but also had no mistakes!

"Girl, look, I draw a smaller circle, which is an egg. A little bigger one is a duck egg, and the biggest one is a goose egg..." Mrs. Zhang initially completed the accounting by drawing pictures! After a few months, she knew more than 200 words.

In the booklet, there are fewer pictures and more and more characters. Although there are fewer legs, no one can deny it, that is the characters!

"Girl, I took care of the accounting work, just to earn more money... My son is nine years old, and in a few years, he will be married." Sister Zhang frowned, and the pressure was really great!

Xu Miaojin said in confusion: "Where is your husband? What does he do?"

"He is a ghost!" Mrs. Zhang laughed at herself, "I am a bad person. I have three husbands killed, and only one son is left. No matter what, I will pull him up!"

Xu Miaojin looked at the booklet again, and the circles filled with magic that made her blurt out.
Chapter completed!
