Chapter 278: The Unemployed
Besides, the government is responsible for dumping night incense, and no one wants to do it in the first place.
Finding someone to clean up livestock manure on the streets of Chang'an can improve some fame, and hiring people at a high price is really rich and has no place to spend.
Li Fu still decided to tell the eldest lady about this with a bitter face, and he couldn't understand what his eldest son thought.
Mother Zheng was also very surprised when she heard this, there was no problem if she paid some money to do these things, and there were many ways to make a good reputation, why she chose this kind of thankless effort.
In the aristocratic circle, there is no such behavior, and if you don't get it right, you will be laughed at and said cool things.
Zheng's mother thought about it again and again and couldn't understand Li De's purpose, but finally let Li De do it, just for the sake of fertilizer that can improve the harvest of the field, it is worth trying.
A few days later, some homeless people who had nothing to do on the long-pressed joints found work, collecting feces from the streets of Chang'an, and hundreds of people began to sweep the streets with more than a dozen wooden carts.
At first, hundreds of nomads gathered, from the street to the end of the street, and the people in the middle pushed a wooden cart with an oversized wooden barrel placed on it, and ten carts in the middle.
The rest of the people were scattered on both sides of the front of the car, and as they walked, they used their planks and shovels to clean up the livestock manure on the ground.
Like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, it is said that the cleanliness of the ground is as high as eighty percent, and no dead grass and leaves are turned over, and the people in front clean up the dung on the street, and the people in the back ask the shopkeeper who opened the door to pour the night incense.
Usually this kind of thing is done at night, and it is better to vote for such a fanfare.
The vagrants take care of this, they have a task every day, and the amount of feces they collect is still related to their livelihood, and the temptation to feed them twice a day is hard for them to resist.
If there is no one to guarantee their work, no one will hire them, and if they can't find a job, they can only rely on government handouts, and more often than not, they have to rely on begging on the streets.
Now that I finally have a job, how can I not cherish it.
Jin Wuwei got the news that the unemployed vagrants gathered hundreds of people to wander around the streets, and if there was a mess, they would all have to eat the board.
So the captain led the two hundred men and horses to the goal quickly.
Jin Wuwei defended the imperial city, and the dispatch was soon full of fast horses, and they were all chilled after they just arrived.
The other party had a guy in his hand, a wooden plank, a shovel, and a cart to help, all of them covered their faces with strips of cloth, and when they saw this posture, they thought they were traitors.
Before Jin Wuwei's lieutenant could speak, he saw a large group of people rushing over.
"Defense." The lieutenant immediately ordered.
Two hundred soldiers were on standby.
The unemployed vagrant had just rushed over and shouted, "General, it is indecent for your horses to leave filth in the streets, we have come to help clean it up, please let me go." ”
Jin Wuwei's people were all at a loss when they saw this posture.
Then they saw that their horses had really left a lot of excrement, which was a common thing, and they were very curious about the behavior of these people.
"What are you doing here?" The lieutenant asked curiously.
"Everyone is responsible for maintaining the environment, we are favored by the Li family to help clean up the feces on the streets of Chang'an, if Jin Wuwei has a night fragrance to come, please let us know, door-to-door service is duty-bound."
When the lieutenant heard this answer, he was immediately blindsided, and after some inquiry, he learned that it was Li An's mansion who paid the money, and they couldn't care if the other party didn't gather a crowd to make trouble.
Collect the troops and go back and report the matter to the truth.
Jingzhao Mansion soon received Jin Wuwei's case file, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin was at a loss, and he couldn't tell what the officials and rich people thought, and some people gave porridge to the poor for the sake of a good reputation.
There are also people who pay for poor scholars, but it is the first time I have seen someone who spends money to clean, and the cleaning of Chang'an streets can also be regarded as a credit to him Jingzhao Mansion Yin.
Although things are a little strange, the current political achievements are there, not only can hundreds of unemployed homeless people be able to eat, but also ensure the hygiene of the streets.
Jingzhao Mansion doesn't have to spend a penny, and this achievement is won by Yin Bai of Jingzhao Mansion.
So Jingzhao Mansion Yin continued to write and report according to the situation, but unfortunately this kind of thing was suppressed after being reviewed by the officials, so that the emperor could see these trivial things every day, and the officials of the Ministry would not have to do it.
However, all achievements will be recorded, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin will not lose.
Li De is in line with doing good deeds without leaving a name, but where did he think that the style of these unemployed vagrants is simply not too public, in order to be able to get more bonuses, they are really doing things hard.
The number of unemployed vagrants digging pits in the wasteland outside the city soon increased to 100 people, and those outside dug pits, and those inside the city were responsible for transporting fertilizer sinkholes, making several trips back and forth to the city every day.
The soldiers defending the city have opinions when they see them, and they can't let every time the dung cart goes out of the city with a strong smell, but it's a pity that this kind of thing is becoming more and more frequent.
In order to be able to obtain a large amount of fertilizer, more people choose to collect night incense and accumulate faster than sweeping the streets.
At first, it was very easy to collect on the streets, but after a convoy of 100 people, the streets became cleaner and cleaner, and I had no choice but to change the way.
The people benefited the most, and when they walked around the streets, they rarely picked up feces, and the reputation of the Li family also accumulated.
"Eldest son, the people who collect fertilizer have already found three hundred, and the daily food expenses are getting more and more, and if they continue, I am afraid that they will reach fifty yuan per month." Li Fu said worriedly.
Don't look at the current 300 people, only 50 times a month, but if it really continues, the number of people will increase rapidly, and even if 100 times is nothing to the Li family at that time.
But once the employment is stopped, the unemployed vagrants who gathered will lose their jobs, and how to dismiss them is a problem, and it is difficult for the Li family to shirk responsibility if someone uses some means from it.
There is a limit to doing good deeds, and Li De understands this.
"Uncle Fu, stop recruiting, find some honest people from these people to participate in the optimization of pig breeds, and the data must be recorded in detail."
"Eldest son, start work now, you need to invest a lot of money, do you want to slow down." Li Fu asked.
"Now it is a phased project, while cultivating and building, 300 people will be selected to carry out construction, let them do things first, and the specific arrangements will be assigned according to the actual situation."
Li De simply calculated his income, and it is completely feasible to use the income of the beauty salon to support the pig breeding plan, but at the moment, there is a lack of management talents, and this matter is not urgent.
When his father comes back and directly hands over the pig farm to the Li family, he can be a lot easier, will the dignified general go to raise pigs, and will he go crazy when his father comes back.
Li De was not sure, so he could only pin his hopes on his mother.
