Gui Laohan said: "Although our family is in Qingchun City, our relatives are still in Dachu. For example, your mother's maiden family, there are many people, those uncles, second uncles, and third aunts. There are also those in my aunt's house and my uncle's house. It's from your mother's. On my side, there are also my uncle's family, my aunt's family, and my aunt's family, all of whom have many relatives. Write to them, give them the money to get out, can they not come? ”

Da Niu hurriedly said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? My uncle still has a lot of relatives in his family? There are also relatives of my eldest brother-in-law's family, and relatives of my aunt's family who married into Linxian, which is really a lot if you count it. ”

Gui Yuxia also said happily: "Why didn't I think of this? We should call all our relatives over, not only is there no shortage of people in our family's business, but there are more people in this city, isn't our city also better? The biggest headache for the city lord is that there are not enough people. ”

Da Niu said: "You see that our relatives have a business. My fragrant flower business is very good. The sugar workshop in Jin Xia's house is also very good, and the milk workshop in Gui Er's family is also getting better and better. There is also Weigang's weaving business is also very good, but the Gui family has no business, and it is a little worse, but now that there is a farming workshop, it is also better. In this way, my eldest sister's family is not very good. Originally, they came later, but now they have only a piece of land in the Acropolis. But how much money can be made from these lands? It's better to make a fortune in business. However, the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law are honest people and don't know how to do business. It's really a hurry, and there's no way to do it. Now I've found a way for them to make a fortune. ”

Gui Yuxia asked very strangely: "What way to make a fortune?" ”

Da Niu said: "We are very busy, we don't have time, our workshops are short of workers, but many of our relatives in Dachu can't eat and can't find work to do." If someone goes to Dachu to recruit workers for us, and each of us gives him money, you say, will this be a good business? ”

Gui Yuxia suddenly understood and said, "Good idea, it's the most appropriate thing to let my brother-in-law do this." Our relatives and brother-in-law all know each other. My brother-in-law used to be more prestigious in their village. People in ten villages and eight townships know that it is better for him to recruit people. We only need to use the silver to have someone available, and we don't have to go to Dachu in person, we are also suitable. In the future, if the business grows bigger. Brother-in-law can recruit people for other workshops. These workshops all gave him money. Isn't that good business? ”

Da Niu said happily: "You eat at home first, and I will go to the eldest sister's house." ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "I know you are anxious, but you are not anxious at this time." It's rare for my parents to come to our house for dinner, so we have to accompany them. It's best to invite everyone to come to our house for dinner tomorrow, and talk to the eldest sister and brother-in-law, who are far away from this business, and see how many people are lacking in each family's workshop, how much money can be paid, and let the eldest brother-in-law find someone for us. In this way, the eldest brother-in-law also knows in his heart, is this business worth doing? ”

Da Niu thought about it, so he smiled and said to Gui Laohan: "Father, you see, I am happy and confused, and it is too late to rush over now, and now my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law are living in the Acropolis, where can I catch up?" It's still Yuxia's idea, please come to our house tomorrow. Invite your parents to come over for dinner, and it just so happened that Yuxia was rewarded by the county lord's mansion some time ago and gave ten jars of good Yubing soju. These are all vintage, mellow taste, originally we planned to come to the New Year, when everyone gathers, to have a good drink. However, this time there are more rewards, and if you drink it now, it will be enough for the New Year. ”

Old man Gui smiled and said, "Okay, our old couple will come over when the time comes." ”

As he was talking, the maid outside came over and said that the meal was ready. Gui Yuxia and Da Niu hurriedly invited Gui Laohan and his family to eat together.

The next day, naturally, there was a housekeeper who sent posts to each family, inviting everyone to go to Gui Yuxia's house for dinner in the evening.

These people were very happy to receive the post, and they all came early in the evening.

After everyone greeted each other, the ladies took the children and the nurse and opened two tables in the flower hall of the inner house.

The men opened a table in the flower hall of the main room. During the meal, Da Niu said his thoughts, and Da Niu's brother-in-law was suddenly excited and thought about it.

Luo Hu first said: "My sugar workshop, because the fruit candy is relatively fresh, the merchants of Dachu like it very much, and the orders are scheduled for the New Year." Unfortunately, it can't be produced, not because of the lack of raw materials, after all, I had saved a lot of sugar myself. Later, I bought a lot of sugar from other sugar factories, so that a little bit of it was processed into fruit candy. However, now they are all restricted by workers. There are so many orders, what should I do if I don't have manpower? I'm dying, if I have enough people, I can take double the orders for a period of time ago, and I can earn at least three thousand taels of silver. ”

Everyone nodded, Gui Er said: "I have teamed up with Brother Kuma to set up a cheese workshop, the output is very large, now not only produces delicious cheese, but also butter, cream and other dairy products, now Brother Kuma, as well as those friends of the barbarians, the pasture is getting bigger and bigger, raising more and more cattle and sheep, this milk source has expanded, but there are fewer workers." If there are enough people, those dairy products can be produced twice as much, and they will be sold before the Chinese New Year. ”

Wei Gang said: "My weaving business has always been short of people. I still owe a lot of money to the bank, and I think about how to make more money every day so that I can pay off this debt. It's a pity that just because there are orders, there are not so many workers, so you can't produce so much cloth, and you are really in a hurry. ”

Da Niu asked: "Since everyone needs manpower, if my brother-in-law sets up a workshop to recruit people, how much money can you see, one person, so that my brother-in-law can also see if it is cost-effective?" ”

Luo Hu was an anxious man, and hurriedly said: "I'll give five hundred big money." ”

Gui Er said disdainfully: "Second brother, are you stupid? How much does it cost to buy a Japanese slave? Those slaves didn't just work for us for ten years, we had a lot of money every month, and we had to spend ten taels of silver to buy them. Why did the people of Dachu only get 500 big money? ”

Luo Hu thought about it too, and stopped talking.

Da Niu thought for a while and said, "If I recruit people, I am willing to pay one or two pieces of silver for one person." The two pieces of silver were given when the man arrived. If this person can work for a year, then I will give another tael of silver. If I can sign a contract for ten years when I come, then I can give ten taels of silver like a slave. ”

Luo Hu nodded and said, "Brother Da Niu is right, we don't lose money by recruiting people like this, and we don't lose either." Brother-in-law, have you thought about it? Give us a reply, and I'll go home and get you the money." ”

Da Niu's brother-in-law was still hesitating, but when he heard this, he was a little more undecided. Da Niu said: "If my brother-in-law can recruit 500 people at a time, it will be 500 taels of silver for such a trip." It's enough for these people's travel expenses. And we don't care about these people eating and drinking. The brother-in-law can collect some money from them, so that they can work more actively, after all, it is a cost. When these five hundred people arrived, if they could all sign a one-year contract, they would get an additional five hundred taels of silver. This is pure profit. Running down, a round trip, how can it take two months, and the five hundred taels is the capital. The remaining five hundred taels are profits. Earn five hundred taels of silver every two months, and the gods are envious. Also, if someone is willing to sign a five-year contract, that's great, and the net profit is even higher. Brother-in-law, how can you not do such a good job? ”

Da Niu's brother-in-law said: "This is a big matter, I still have to discuss it with your sister." We have now reclaimed the wasteland, and we already have 500 acres of land in the Acropolis, which is enough for our family to eat and drink. However, if you compare it to those of you who have workshops, it is much worse. Your sister has been thinking that it would be nice if she could have a business to do. Now that this opportunity is so good, of course I am intrigued. However, I also have concerns. You say, if I recruit 500 people, we will definitely be able to allocate 100 people to each of our workshops. So everyone is happy. Of course I'm happy, did I make money? But what about later? You have enough people in your workshop, do you still need people? How else can I make money? ”

Da Niu smiled and said: "If you are worried about this, you don't need to, are we in these workshops short of people now?" Luo Hu often buys brown sugar from ordinary workshops that produce brown sugar, aren't those workshops also short of people? ”

After Luo Hu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I buy their brown sugar, but they can't make it all because of lack of manpower." The people you find, not to say five hundred, even five thousand, can find them the owner of the workshop is willing to ask for it. Money is not an issue. I am familiar with a lot of those bosses, not to mention anything else, there are more than ten sugar workshops in our Qingchun City, and each family can buy fifty people from you, and there can be five or six hundred. In addition, the owner of the fragrant flower workshop that Brother Niu knows, the owner of the spice workshop, the herdsman that Gui Er knows, and the boss that Wei Gang knows, how can there be twenty or thirty bosses, you calculate, what a good business this is. What's more, there is also the eldest sister who is in charge of craftsmen in the official office, and the workshop of the official office has been recruiting people for a long time. ”

When Da Niu's brother-in-law heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "If you can have a business of 5,000 people, this is really worth doing." ”

I thought in my heart, I have many relatives in my family, most of them are poor relatives, they are the kind that can't open the pot, I am still very prestigious in the township on weekdays, if I come forward, plus money as a temptation, find five or six thousand people, it doesn't cost anything, one person earns one or two silver, five thousand people can also earn five thousand taels of silver, with five thousand taels of silver, you can also get a big manor of five or six thousand acres, then what to worry about, you are a rich man. Thinking of this, my heart is also hot. (To be continued......)
