24 Zhou Dao has been in a good mood recently, and if he doesn't die, there will be blessings, which is the reason he summed up. The mill was already on the right track, and he felt full and happy when he looked at the money and food that flowed in every day.

At this time, Zhou Daozheng was holding a fine brush and writing and calculating on cooked rice paper: grinding a load of rice to harvest three to four liters of grain, compromising according to three and a half liters, each liter of grain is converted into thirteen wen, and each load of three and a half grains is converted into forty-five wen.

Each mill can grind up to 36 quintals of rice a day, and now it is the peak season, according to the average daily calculation of 30 quintals, you can get 1,350 yuan.

The five mills get a total of 6,750 wen a day, and at this time each 900 wen, which is seven and a half yuan, this is the gross income of Zhou Dao a day, and the monthly total is 225 yuan.

The difference in income between the mill and the mill is not too big, but the south eats less noodles than the north, and the demand for rice milling is greater, so there are more mills.

The current five mills are being repaired in turns, and it is difficult to determine how long it will last, and there will be some discrepancies in the actual income.

After calculating the income and then the expenses, one mill has one person in each of the three shifts a day, a total of three people per day, and five mills have a total of 15 people.

There are two hand-cranked windmills, two people in each seat, four people in each shift, a total of 12 people in the three shifts, and a total of 27 workers.

Each person is paid 60 wen per day, and two liters of grain are counted as 26 wen, and the total daily cost per person is 86 wen, which is counted as 90 wen.

Twenty-seven labor money two thousand four hundred and thirty wen. Xu Wa'er now earns 200 yuan, two stewards and accounts 150 yuan, and four cooks and miscellaneous women in two shifts have a daily salary of 50 yuan per person, and the four people have a total of 200 yuan.

Several labors totaled 3,130 per day, which was broken into three and a half times, and one hundred and five times a month. Each water mill pays four runs, and five houses pay twenty runs.

The total expenditure is about 125 yuan. The monthly income is 225 guan minus the monthly expenditure, and the remaining 100 guan is left.

Considering the maintenance and repair and other miscellaneous expenses, the monthly net profit in the peak season is about 95 times. The three months of September, October and November of each year are the peak season for rice milling, and the twelfth, January and February enter the water selling period as the off-season, and the remaining six months are the season of normal peace.

Due to the very competitive price of Zhoudao mill, in addition to the water selling period, the difference between the off-peak season is not obvious, and there is an average of more than 25 quintals per mill per day in the usual season, 70 per month and 420 per month.

Two hundred and eighty-five times in three months in the peak season. The real water selling period is around the Spring Festival, about a month, and it also happens to be a holiday.

Even if you don't make any money at all during the water selling period, Zhoudao's mill can have a net profit of about 700 yuan throughout the year. His capital is 300 yuan, and he owes dozens of yuan on credit, which is equivalent to recovering the capital in only half a year.

This is not a chicken coop, and there are no large quantities of chickens yet, so we will talk about it when there is a market in the future. Zhou Dao had an idea, and he was inspired by the management of the chicken coop, and wanted to introduce the concept of performance and bonuses into the management of the mill.

Xu Wa'er mentioned twice that some people in the mill work fast, some people work slowly, and the effect is not the same.

Although the flow speed of the stream is the same, there is still a difference between fast and slow when it is the same rice milling, especially in some intermediate links.

"Inertia is in nature, and we must think of ways to motivate everyone." He recognized the problem.

He plans to adjust the basic wage of the miller from the original 60 wen per day to 50 wen per day, and reduce it by 10 wen!

Under the premise of ensuring quality, every time more than one quintal of rice is paid, the income of the vast majority of millers will increase compared with the original under normal circumstances, which improves their enthusiasm and strengthens the understanding of more work and more rewards.

Zhou Dao often wonders, why is it that the protagonists in the books he reads are so relaxed? From time to time, there are nobles to help beautiful women, in short, the money is easy to earn and easy to do.

And every penny of iron money he earns is carefully calculated, and it hasn't fallen yet? Hey, each has his own life, we are a poor life!

He envied them.
