Chapter 199: Cheap Labor Costs (Chapter 2 in One)

Early in the morning, Tsukiji Rokumachi Megi Oda's house.

Oda Hayina got up early and put on a work uniform on his body, his face was refreshed, last night he felt that he was particularly majestic and majestic, and he begged for mercy when his wife Hanako was killed, and now he still feels that his wife's face is still slightly ruddy, and he is proud of his achievements.

After taking a closer look in the mirror and finding that there was no problem, Oda Hayina carefully put the work card and the discipline and rule manual in his jacket pocket, and he couldn't pull either of them down.

After everything was cleaned up, Oda Hayina said to his wife on the side: "Hanako, remember what I said yesterday, don't go out to pick up those laundry jobs anymore, you have lost a lot of weight in the past six months, and your body is tired, in the future, you can take Chunxiang at home with peace of mind, everything is outside with me." ”

"Hey, husband, please rest assured, Hanako won't take over those laundry jobs anymore, and Hanako won't embarrass her husband. ”

After talking to his wife, Oda Hayina left the house and walked in the direction of the factory in Nihonbashi Ward, where the Sakura canning factory was now his family's hope, and where he wanted to make a difference.

Just as Oda Sawasa was walking towards the cherry blossom factory where he hoped to be, Ikesho Maji, the big boss of the factory, had just come out of the Tokyo train station.

The train station is full of refugees, and there is almost nowhere to put his feet, so Chi Shang Zhenyi sighed in his heart: "There are really more and more refugees in Tokyo, and when I left the train station a few days ago, there didn't seem to be so many people, all of them were a group of people who couldn't survive, hey......"

"I don't know if there can be a rickshaw outside this point, Yagoro goes out to have a look, and if there is a car, find three to come. ”

"Hi"

When he took Yagoro and Miura Castle to the Shizuoka Prefecture train station the day before, he was told that he didn't even have a seat, and if he wanted to go back to Tokyo, he had to squeeze back with others in the carriage.

For such a return, of course Ji Shang Zhenyi was unwilling, as an Onmyoji, if he and others stood in the carriage for a day and a night. Then he is not uncomfortable to die, but he knows what it was like in the Japanese train carriage in this era, not much stronger than the later generations of A Sanguo, except that he did not hang people outside the carriage. The rest is exactly the same.

In the end, Ikesho went directly to the stationmaster's room of the Shizuoka Prefecture Railway Station, took out the edict he had given when he was canonized by the emperor as a doctor of yin and yang, and told the stationmaster named Yasuo Asai that he had to go back to Tokyo again, and immediately found him a seat. Don't stand on the ticket that kind.

Chi Shang Zhenyi's direct means directly made that Yasuo Asai stupid, he didn't expect that an administrative level person like himself would actually be able to come into contact with things related to the emperor.

Yasuo Asai was busy at the moment, he thought that this doctor of yin and yang was in such a hurry to return to Tokyo to do something special for the emperor, so he didn't dare to delay at all, let alone ask the slightest question, and immediately began to check if there was a place that could be vacated.

It's just that in the end, I found that this train to Tokyo can free up two hard seats, and Yasuo Asai is anxious to scratch his head, how can such a seat allow the honorable Imperial Yin and Yang Doctor to sit on it, and in the end there is really no way. When the train arrived at Shizuoka Station, he had someone re-hang a sleeper car for Chi Shang Shinyi behind the front of the train, which solved the problem.

Because of the new carriage, not only Chi Shang Zhenyi enjoyed a soft sleeper box alone, but even Yagoro and Miura Castle also enjoyed the treatment of a soft sleeper car, and the two of them were very excited for a while.

After less than ten minutes, Yagoro ran back.

"The adult car has been found. ”

"Yes"

Ignoring a group of refugees who were looking at them with complicated eyes, Ji Shang Zhenyi walked out of the platform directly, for those refugees, he knew that he could not show a trace of pity now, if he showed a little willingness to give. None of the three of them will be able to get out of the train station today.

Chi Shang Zhenyi sat on the tricycle, looking at the still dark sky, but he was thinking about one thing in his heart, he planned to create an opportunity to buy the place in Motosu Lake. Whatever the name, he had already thought about it on the train back.

For that ancient inheritance relic, Chi Shang Zhenyi will definitely not let others know about this relic, he plans that only the people of their Chi Shang family can enter this relic in the future, after all, there are really a lot of secrets in it, and he broke into the primary inheritance this time. Then there must be intermediate inheritance and advanced inheritance, what benefits these two inheritances will have at the moment, but he feels the benefits of the primary inheritance.

Since being raised in the ruins, not only has his physical potential been improved, but Chi Shang Zhenyi can also feel the faint deterrence of the ordinary people around him, and he is not willing to share such benefits with others.

As for the accidental pit that Nanki Masao fell into, Chi Shang Zhenyi has carefully analyzed it, there is an unstable seal crack, this crack should not open from time to time, so not all people who fall into it can live, and the possibility of death is even greater.

Just when Chi Shang was really thinking about the ancient inheritance relics, he suddenly heard a complicated sound coming from the front, and looked at the sound and found that it was a large group of people lined up at the intersection, what are so many people doing here before dawn, with his eyes, there will be hundreds of people at the intersection no matter how small it is.

For so many people to gather at this intersection before dawn, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt a little strange, so he asked the person pedaling in front.

"Your Excellency, you're asking these people, these people are all about to sign up for the government's construction team. ”

Chi Shang, who was sitting on the tricycle, really listened to the pedaling saying that these were all to sign up for the government construction team, and said with some surprise: "Sign up for the government construction team, is it very good that the government gives you good treatment, so many people start queuing before dawn." ”

Hearing Chi Shang's sincere words, the pedaling in front of him replied with a smile: "What's the treatment, these people don't even have salaries, they all work for the government for nothing, but it is said that there will be twelve yen for a year, but I don't know if it's true or not, most of these people who signed up are bankrupt households with no houses and no land, and then those veterans, these people can't even eat now, and they can only wait to starve to death if they don't work for the government, hey...... In this world, it's too hard to live. ”

Chi Shangzhenyi was very surprised by what he said, he didn't expect that these people would actually sign up for the government for nothing.

"Don't these people know that the government won't pay money right away? And doesn't the government have to distribute four taels of coarse grain every day? How can these people not survive?

Chi Shang's sincere voice fell. The pedaler immediately spoke: "Of course, these people know that they will not get money for working for the government, but they have no choice, as you just said about the government's four taels of coarse grain relief, the regulations have been changed on January 1 this year. At present, only people in Tokyo are helped, and people in other prefectures need to go back to their respective prefectures and cities to collect them at local relief centers, which doesn't sound like a big problem, but do you know how many foreigners there are in Tokyo? According to the newspapers, the number of foreigners in Tokyo is estimated. Tokyo's population has exceeded 10 million, which is a staggering number. ”

"You must know that the original households in Tokyo are only a little more than 3 million, if according to the newspaper said that the population of 10 million, that means that two out of three people in Tokyo are from other places now, how can so many people leave Tokyo and return to their original prefecture at once, this is simply impossible, and even if they return to their original prefecture, it is estimated that these people are unlikely to receive relief food, because even the stations that distribute relief food in Tokyo are closed for a day or two from time to time, let alone those counties and cities from other places. And even if there is relief food to receive, these people can't afford to buy it, even though the relief food sold by the government is already very cheap, they still need money. ”

"There are also guests you said to go to the port area to work for people on the dock, you don't know this point, these people in the port area can't get in at all, there has been occupied by those people from the black ~ society ~ association, other outsiders don't want to find work there at all, those people are in the dark with outsiders, and they won't stop if they don't scrap people. ”

Chi Shang listened to the explanation of this pedaling car sincerely. He didn't expect that there were so many things in the middle, so it seemed that this government construction team was really a good place, at least so that the people who went in would not starve to death.

"Then they won't do anything else, I think you're doing a good job. At least one day at the train station, you can earn at least one day's food expenses. ”

Hearing that Chi Shang sincerely changed the topic to the industry of pedaling now, he pedaled and said: "Hehe, you don't know, guest, our business is not easy to do, it is not enough to have a car, but also to have a car dealer to take care of it." These people in front of me have to pay a fixed management fee to the car dealer every month, if the outsiders who have not entered the car dealership want to work, it will not end well, and the things here are the same as those on the dock. ”

Hearing this, Chi Shang really understood, it seems that no matter what industry needs to have unspoken rules, it seems that it is really not easy for ordinary people living in Tokyo.

"Listening to you say this, how does this car dealership feel the same as the black ~ society ~ will be. ”

"You're really right, there is a gang behind all car dealerships to take care of, the thermal cooperative car dealership I joined, the gang behind it is the new big gang Volcano Gang over there in Nihonbashi, this gang is much better than other gangs, not as domineering as other gangs, and it is very reasonable to do things, so the management fee charged by this thermal car dealer under them is also lower than that of other families, and many people plan to be attached to their car dealership, but now the car dealership does not accept people much. ”

The words of the car boss made Chi Shang Zhenyi a little stunned, he didn't expect that this pedaler could still have such a little relationship with his car, the volcano gang in the other party's mouth must be the one formed by the Gaoshan brothers, he didn't expect that the two brothers would develop the gang well recently, it seems that this time I will take the time to go back and take a look.

After the car boss said this, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't ask again, he was thinking about another thing in his heart now, that is, whether to take advantage of the fact that the labor is so cheap now to hire a little more people, go back to the small lake where he lives, and build a big wall, so that the small lake will be isolated from outsiders from now on, this idea he has had for a long time.

He estimated that with the current post-war economic depression, the price of bluestone should not be expensive, and it would not cost him a few dollars at all, and he believed that if he spent money to hire someone to build this wall, it would be easy to find people.

The more Chi Shang Zhenyi thought about it, the more he felt that the wall needed to be built quickly, because the current labor cost was too cheap, and it was appropriate to calculate it no matter what.

If he waited for a year or two to build a wall, then Chi Shang Zhenyi would need to pay a lot more than now, now he only needs to give a dozen or twenty yuan a day, and the cost of food is only six to seven yen a month for one person, and if this wall is built in the future, the labor cost will probably need to be tens or hundreds of yen.

Moreover, Chi Shang really knew that the yen would depreciate immediately, and although the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar was still fifteen to one, he knew that this situation would not last long, and that the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar would fluctuate at the end of this year at the latest, and then the yen would continue to depreciate until February 1949, all of which he knew in his previous life when he was reading books before studying abroad.

(After the war, the yen's first adjustment of the exchange rate against the US dollar directly changed from 15 to 1 to 18 to 1, and then in October 1947, the exchange rate changed to 270 yen to one dollar, and then during the period from 1947 to 1949, the yen fluctuated very much against the dollar, and sometimes there was even a situation of more than 400 yen to one dollar; because the Japanese economy was too chaotic, and finally under the intervention of the United States, Japan determined the final exchange rate between the yen and the US dollar in 1949, 360 yen to one dollar, and this exchange rate was maintained until February 1973.) 。 )

The tricycle pedaled very fast, and when Chi Shangzhen had just figured out the matter of building the wall, he found that the car was almost to the castle.

Taking advantage of the already cloudy sky, Chi Shang Zhenyi glanced at his own canning factory in the distance, and saw that there were already neatly dressed workers walking towards the gate in twos and threes, all of them were very energetic, and he nodded secretly and felt quite satisfied.

Although the workers made Chi Shang Zhenyi very satisfied, but the appearance of the factory made him not very satisfied, just a circle of low walls, no momentum of a large factory, and he thought in his heart at the moment: "Take the opportunity of building a wall this time, approve the proposal of the wellhead some time ago, build two staff dormitories for the cannery, and build the factory by the way." ”

After a while, the tricycle arrived at the stone bridge, and arriving here also meant that Chi Shang Zhenyi had finally returned home.

Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at the castle hidden in the early morning mist, and felt a sense of stability in his heart, although he was not away from home for a long time, he felt that this was the most dangerous time, the last giant beast statue encountered in the ancient ruins almost squeezed his potential clean, if it weren't for the treasure and flame crystal milk in his hand, he didn't know if he could get out alive.

"I used to be too arrogant, and I have to be careful in doing things in the future. (To be continued.) )
