Chapter 101: Processing Money

If more jobs can make the economy flow, Datang's economy will not be a backwater.

Although Datang supports trade, there are too few people who can do business, and after all, it is only a minority.

With money in hand, the people can stimulate domestic demand.

Back at his home, Li Zheng counted how much money he had earned today.

This kind of days when you count the money and count until you have cramps in your hands......

Li Zheng sighed, this day is too rotten, too rotten.

Sun Simiao wrote a recital, and after these days of observation, the local method of gua sha is really useful.

Remove the heat and you can see the effect in no time.

A lot of the local methods are quite useful.

It's just not recorded in the medical codex.

In such a scorching heat, if the person suffering from heat stroke does not remove the heat in time, it is easy to die.

Especially for those who are old or already weak.

Write about the benefits of gua sha in the recital.

Writing down his signature again, Sun Simiao handed it to a villager and said: "If you are troublesome to send it to the Hongwen Hall in Chang'an, it will be accepted if it is written by the poor road." ”

"Understood." The villagers immediately went to do errands.

At dinnertime, Li Tai ate the dishes very unceremoniously, and there was an indifferent Sun Simiao.

Li Daxiong and Sun Simiao can also chat, and Li Tai can also chat.

After the meal, Li Daxiong said to Li Zheng, who was washing the dishes: "If Doctor Sun wants to accept you as a disciple, you can be his disciple." ”

Li Zheng cleaned the bowls one by one and said, "It's okay for me to use a little cleverness to make money, let me study medicine as a child, your son and I don't have this talent." ”

Hearing this, Li Daxiong was unhappy, "You can also cure diseases, and being a father depends on your talent." ”

Li Daxiong whispered: "That's Doctor Sun, as a disciple of Doctor Sun, it's easy to find a daughter-in-law when you go out." ”

"Not good." Li Zheng said hesitantly.

Li Daxiong was anxious and then instructed: "Are you a melon, even if you can't learn the medical skills of Doctor Sun, the name of becoming a disciple of others is already very loud." ”

Li Zheng whispered to Li Daxiong: "Do you know why, Doctor Sun has lived for most of his life without an aunt-in-law?" ”

"Huh?" Realizing this, Li Daxiong came back to his senses and said, "Why?"

Li Zheng glanced at Sun Simiao, who was meditating in the courtyard, and whispered: "Because Doctor Sun is a Taoist priest, and he is not close to women. ”

Li Daxiong suddenly came back to his senses, "Sigh......"

Li Zheng said again: "Let's think about it, if I become Sun Simiao's disciple in the future, will I not be able to find a daughter-in-law for most of my life, so what should I do?" ”

Li Daxiong solemnly touched the stubble on his chin.

"Do you want me to be like Doctor Sun?"

Li Daxiong immediately shook his head, "That's not good, our family is still pointing to you to pass on the ancestry." ”

"It's not a problem, you see your son, I'm wise."

Li Daxiong sat down in his heart and decided, "Then I still can't let you be his disciple." ”

Li Zheng also nodded with satisfaction, "So, you should go to bed early after eating, and you have to go to work in the fields tomorrow morning." ”

Li Daxiong nodded, "Well, sleep." ”

At the court meeting on the second day, the Taiji Hall was still like a steamer.

Listening to the reports of the courtiers, Li Shimin was big for a while.

Recently, many workers in Chang'an workshops have left to work for Li Zheng.

There was no one working in several workshops.

Prices are going up.

Li Shimin was worried, you said that you are Li Zheng said that it is good to draw a clear line.

It's good to count money and mix up life in Jingyang.

If you have to do something, the people of Chang'an are now miserable.

Once again, I felt so tired of being an emperor.

I don't want to do it anymore, I want to Zen and let Li Zheng be the emperor.

Let him experience the pain of being an emperor.

Li Shimin listened to the report of the official and asked Fang Xuanling: "How many workshops in Chang'an have stopped working now." ”

Fang Xuanling stood up from the court and said: "There are more than thirty in total, including those who make pottery, those who dye cloth, and some who are coolies and carpenters. ”

Du Ruhui also said: "Now that the price of goods in Chang'an has begun to rise, a piece of cloth has risen to 20 Wen. ”

People's livelihood has to be managed.

Li Shimin took the handkerchief handed by the eunuch, wiped his sweat, and said, "Do you have any countermeasures?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Many workshops in Chang'an have stopped work because of the exodus of laborers, which is related to the reduction of wages. ”

Then again, it was because the DPRK had decreed that the coolies should be reduced to avoid the recurrence of heat deaths.

Li Shimin feels that one head and two are big, and it stands to reason that if there is less work, there will be less wages, which is reasonable.

You can't force your head and make those workshop owners pay for it.

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty still needs those laborers to return to Chang'an for today's plan. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Why did you go to Jingyang?" ”

Fang Xuanling replied: "It is said that Jingyang has many benefits, the salary is high, and the work is not too tiring." ”

Li Shimin looked at Cen Wenwen in the court class and asked, "Cen Wen, you have been to Jingyang, can you tell me what the situation in Jingyang is now." ”

Cen Wenwen bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, Li is building a house in Jingyang in order to build a house, and the house is also for the villagers to live in. ”

Cen Wenwen was just halfway through his sentence, and Li Shimin wiped his sweat again and motioned to continue.

"Jingyang works for four hours a day, two hours in the early morning and two hours in the evening, avoiding the hottest hours of the day, not only the salary is high, people can get the same money for a month, and there is no money for cold mung bean soup to drink."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were again discussed.

This treatment is really good, a month of consistent money, as long as you work for four hours a day, and the mung bean soup that doesn't cost money is even more cold.

This condition is also too good, how rich is he Li Zheng.

"Didn't you say that Li Zheng was poor?"

"That's right, didn't you say that Li Zheng has always been grateful to Chang'an for helping the poor?"

"With such good conditions, I don't even want to be an official."

"The wages of those laborers in Jingyang are almost more than our salaries."

……

Li Shimin motioned for the court to be quiet, and asked Xiang Cen Wenwen, "Why do you think so many people left Chang'an and went to Jingyang?" ”

Cen Wenwen organized the language for a while before he spoke: "Wages, many laborers feel that wages are unfair. ”

"What's unfair about how much work you do, how much you get paid?"

I don't know which official interjected.

There was another murmur among the crowds.

Cen Wen bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that those workshop owners should not deduct their wages, and now that the weather is hot, they should give those laborers processing money." ”

The class began to talk again.

In many people's concepts, it has always been very reasonable to get how much money you do for how much work, and why do you have to process money for people when you work less now.
