Chapter Seventy-Four: A Series of Troubles (Big Chapter, Completed)
The problem of manpower has always plagued Luo Qiu, and this refers to of course the wise manpower, there are only more than 100 wise lichs and undead in the steel bone collar, the slaves rescued from Boulder City, plus some of the villagers reincarnated in Caiyun Village, and now the intelligent undead in the territory can exceed two hundred.
Compared to more than a billion skeleton zombies, what is the use of two hundred intelligent undead creatures?
"Recruitment, recruitment, the Mad Demon Chamber of Commerce is now looking for talents from all walks of life, as long as they are in good health and have normal intelligence, they can join the Mad Demon Chamber of Commerce, the salary is two gold coins to ten gold coins per month, technical talents are negotiable, those who are interested please come here to sign up. ”
Next to the bulletin board, Seber and Lena carried a large tin horn and were a little ashamed to preach loudly there.
Without the baptism of a commodity society, it is difficult for ordinary people to express themselves out loud in public, even in a commodity society, there are many people who are very shy, and they dare not even speak loudly when there are many people.
But Seber and Lena had to do it, and their majesty's orders they could not even afford to refuse, not only to do it, but also to find a way to do the best.
But as long as you take the first step bravely, the next step will get better and better.
Once upon a time, the people of the town had seen such a lively recruitment method, and they were attracted in a blink of an eye, of course, in addition to the excitement, but also the salary of two to ten gold coins per month.
In this world, it is a dream to earn two to ten gold coins just by working hard. One gold coin is enough for an average family of four for a month. However, under the small-scale peasant economy, ordinary peasant families are self-sufficient, and the purchasing power of gold coins is very strong.
Usually, ordinary farmers do not have many opportunities to earn gold coins, only during the autumn harvest can earn three or five gold coins by selling grain, but that is a year's expenses, and they may not have been spent without covering the heat.
Now there is such a good opportunity, you can earn at least two gold coins in a month, and ten gold coins more, and if you have the technology, you can still face it?
The recruitment booth was soon filled with people, and Seber and Lena were too busy to deal with it, and finally they gathered everyone over, and reluctantly arranged everyone.
In this wave, the Mad Demon Chamber of Commerce absorbed all the idle laborers in the entire Rose Town, more than eight hundred.
With manpower, things were easy to do, and the four-wheeled carriage workshops were quickly set up, and a large number of thatched workshops were quickly set up in the open space outside the town, which were simple buildings with only pillars and thatched roofs.
Manufacturing was in full swing, and three days later, the first four-wheeled carriage rolled off the assembly line, bringing the day's production to three.
Holding the report, Mobuck floated to Luo Qiu and shouted: "Your Majesty, the cost is too high, too high, and it is easy to go bankrupt." ”
"Nonsense, we are a high-tech enterprise, how can we go bankrupt if the product premium is so high. Luo Qiu reprimanded.
Mobuck looked around at the sweaty farmers and the thatched huts, and couldn't make any connection to high technology.
"Your Majesty, labor is too expensive, at least two gold coins per person, which is one thousand six gold coins per month, and on top of food, at least four hundred yuan per month, and the net expenditure per month is as high as two thousand gold coins. ”
Like all capitalists' recruitment revelations, it is written that there are 3,000 to 8,000 positions, and there will always be only 3,000 that can be obtained, and the 8,000 file seems to be written for fun.
And those who are technically negotiable, add half a coin or a gold coin after the negotiation, these skilled include blacksmiths, carpenters, plasterers, etc., and the salary expenditure is almost kept at the lowest level.
"It's only 2,000 gold, it's enough to sell a rejuvenating youth suit, oh, no, independent accounting, you can't take the subsidized carriage of cosmetics, but it doesn't matter, it's good to sell the carriage, by the way, what is the price of an ordinary two-wheeled carriage now?" Luo Qiu asked.
This question had to be answered by Reinhardt: "Your Majesty, a wooden-framed, iron-spoked open-top carriage is twenty gold coins each, and an iron-framed iron-spoke carriage is thirty gold coins each." The carriages for the nobility ranged from fifty to five hundred gold coins, and the main cost was decoration. ”
Twenty gold coins are equivalent to 30,000 yuan according to the purchasing power parity of this world, and 30,000 yuan is quite reasonable to buy a Wuling god car without an engine.
"The aristocratic manned carriage doesn't care about it, our four-wheeled carriage weighs more than ten times that of the iron-framed iron-spoke carriage, plus the spring steel shock absorption and flexible steering system, the price of one hundred and fifty gold coins should have a market, our current output is three a day, and after proficiency, it can reach five a day, and the monthly sales of more than 20,000 gold coins can fully support the success of the entire production. Luo Qiu counted with his fingers.
Now Reinhardt disagreed: "Your Majesty, it's not calculated like this, just now only the labor cost was calculated, and the material cost of the carriage itself has not been calculated." ”
"What is the cost of materials?" Luo Qiu asked puzzled, iron ore was dug by skeletons, coal was dug by skeletons, steel was refined by skeletons, and the labor cost was almost none.
"Of course there is a cost, and as long as the material becomes a commodity, it must have a cost. Although His Majesty's people don't need to spend money, if a hundred skeletons can be sold for one hundred and fifty gold coins when they are mined and made into a carriage of iron, then their labor will have the value of one hundred and fifty gold coins, and if they are taken to farm, the grain they harvest can only be sold for ten gold coins, is that equivalent to a loss of one hundred and forty gold coins?"
"Ah? Can it still be counted like this? If you don't make money, you will lose money?" Luo Qiu was a little confused, he really didn't study economics and had no concept in this regard.
"Of course. "The problem now is that the cost of the rest of the carriage production, because it is used by His Majesty's people, is almost zero, but the cost of the carriage workshop is very high, which invisibly causes exploitation of His Majesty's people." ”
"Your Majesty can not care about this, but the cost accounting can not be left uncounted, otherwise the money from the sale of the carriage, Your Majesty will think that it is all the credit of the carriage workshop, thus ignoring the contribution of other links, the high profit generated by the carriage is based on the premise of reducing the cost of other links. ”
Luo Qiu nodded, he kind of understood.
"So how to measure the contribution of other links? It's very simple, list their costs, for example, the elasticity of spring steel is 12 percent higher than that of thunder steel, 20,000 gold coins a kilogram of thunder steel, 30,000 yuan of spring steel, how heavy is the spring steel shock and steering head used in a carriage?"
"Twenty kilograms. Mobuck interjected.
"The cost of spring steel alone is 600,000 gold coins, and selling 150 gold coins is a blood loss, so it is better to sell spring steel directly. Reinhardt said with tears in his eyes.
Poof, can it still be counted like this?
But it's true that Reinhardt sells 31,000 kilograms of spring steel here, and he sells a carriage for 150 gold coins there, and when he turns around, he dismantles the carriage and earns 20 kilograms of spring steel.
But there is no need to let Luo Qiu replace the suspension, the cost of spring steel is no different from the cost of ordinary steel, just adjust the ratio of carbon and manganese.
"Forget it, the carriage is not for sale, we use it for ourselves. Luo Qiu said worriedly.
However, Luo Qiu's thinking was too simple, and Mobuck continued: "Your Majesty, the problem arises, if we don't sell carriages, where will we have the money to support these hundreds of workers?"
After going around in a big circle, it turned out that he was waiting here, there was no income, there was no money to support these workers in the case of independent accounting, and in the case of zero income, two thousand gold coins per month was a pure expenditure.
If so, it is estimated that Mobuck is not willing to take care of this stall. Because whether you can make money or not is a loss, the income of tens of thousands of gold coins per month that others manage, and the stall that you manage are upside down by a few thousand per month, and no one is happy after a long time.
But the carriage can't be built, and while thinking about it, Luo Qiu said, "Then you can't reincarnate all of them to save costs, right?"
"No, Your Majesty. Reinhardt was taken aback: "Your Majesty, if you reincarnate them just to not pay them, then everyone will hate you to death." ”
Don't blame Reinhardt for being scared, because there's a real good chance that the King of Cyborg would do something like this.
Luo Qiu waved his hand, of course he wouldn't do this, there was no need, in order to save a few dollars to kill others, he couldn't do such a thing.
"I'll subsidize it, just like I bought the carriage. Luo Qiu said helplessly, this will break the principle of independent accounting, and the carriage will not be able to become a business.
"This is possible, but there are still a few problems, such as worker stability, inflation, and so on, most of the workers are farmers, and they have to go back to plough the fields during the busy farming season, what should we do then? What should we do if the wages we give are so high that everyone has money in their hands? What should we do if the stock of consumer goods in the town is insufficient, and we can't buy things with money?"
Hearing Luo Qiu's head and two big, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's still easy to use skeleton zombies." ”
A series of troubles caused by the recruitment of human workers made Luo Qiu completely dispel the idea of introducing living people, and all the production and sales in the future should be handed over to the undead to complete, so now the question is back: "Man, man, where are you?"
"Mentor Mentor, the fight has started, and there are two groups of people from outside the town, and they are fighting outside the town, on one side is the Sword Master, and on the other side is the Great Mage and his followers. One of Reinhardt's students ran over and shouted anxiously from afar.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Excluding the steel bone collar, the Sword Master and the Great Wizard are both high-end forces in this world, and they are polite when they are usually faced, and it is rare to see them fighting.
In an uproar, everyone ran out, ready to see the excitement.
In other towns, a great mage and a Juggernaut were fighting outside, and the townspeople were probably scared and ran away, for fear of harming the pond fish, even in Rose Town.
Although there is a great magician like Reinhardt here, it is impossible for him to protect everyone, and if anyone is particularly unlucky and is hit by a stray bullet, it will really cry without tears.
But who would worry about this problem now, the King of Steel Bones is here, the Undead Sage who follows the King of Steel Bones is here, and there are still two million road builders in the south.
The great magician and the sword master, of course, can only be happy for everyone.
Rushing to the outside of the town to take a look, Luo Qiu sighed: "Hey, I've seen this sword saint." ”
