Chapter 26: The Harvest
The three types of workers, including the spinning woman, the factory man, and the mechanic, add up to a total of twenty-six people.
The number of workers in the water-powered spinning mill has been determined, and the next question is the monthly salary.
Wang Yanren took the initiative to ask: "Da'er, do you think this month's money is appropriate?" ”
On the mulberry paper that Wang Yanren took out, it was already written about the monthly salary of a worker in the water-powered spinning factory.
The mechanic is paid two cents of silver a month, the weaver is a penny a month, and the factory man is a penny and a half a cent of silver a month.
As for this number, Wang Yanren still considered it for a long time and gave a relatively high number.
After all, the water-powered spinning mill eats every day, and it can eat enough and get silver, which can make the salters in Yanchi Village squeeze their heads.
Wang Youzhen still shook his head, even though he knew that compared to the spinning workshops of the bureaucrats and squires, it was already the days of the young lady of the old man's family.
But it wasn't enough, it was far below the standard in his heart.
He came here to carry out the industrial revolution in Daming, and he will carry out land reform in the future.
The purpose is to let the people live a good life, have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, have money to see a doctor, and give their children a good education.
In this way, it can be meaningful, so that the people of the country can continue to make progress and continuously improve the overall level of education.
Promote industrialization and keep moving forward, and always step on the head of Western countries.
Wang Youzhen said the amount he had set in his heart: "The mechanic will receive two taels of silver every month, and counting the reward given at the end of the year, he is guaranteed to get thirty taels of silver every year." ”
"The spinners have a tael of silver every month, and this tael of silver is only the basic monthly money, and every month she is rewarded according to the weight of the spindle she spins, and the more she spins, the higher the amount of silver she gets."
"Counting the reward at the end of the year, I will get fifteen taels of silver every year."
"The factory man has one tael of silver every month, and counting the reward at the end of the year, he is guaranteed to get fourteen taels of silver every year."
When Wang Yanren heard this series of numbers, he was stunned, he never thought that he could give so much silver.
As far as the mechanics are concerned, the price has risen from two taels of silver directly to two taels of silver, an increase of ten times.
The family didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and Wang Yanren couldn't take care of the habit of talking less and doing more, so he hurriedly stopped: "Son, it's too high." ”
"The soap in the county government is only three and a half cents of silver a month, and it is only four taels of silver a year."
"The bucket who takes care of the county official's warehouse is only more than three dollars a cent a month, and it is only three or six dollars of silver a year."
"Not to mention the mechanics who have surpassed soap and buckets ten times faster, even the spinning women and factory husbands are also several times."
Before Wang Youzhen said the worker's monthly salary, he had already guessed that the second uncle would have such a reaction, and anyone would have such a strong reaction.
But the specific reason for the high monthly money, even if Wang Youzhen explains it in detail from beginning to end, the second uncle will not understand.
There is only one reason why Wang Youzhen did this.
Just as the country in later generations provided for the common people, he was supporting the workers and setting the tone for the workers' basic salaries first.
The amount of these silver seems to be a lot, but it involves a lot of calculations by Wang Youzhen, and the time spent is even no less than compiling mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks.
After a long period of deliberation, the monthly salary of the workers was finally determined.
This amount of money includes not only how many children the workers can support each year, how much money can be used to see a doctor, and how much money can be used to train the children......
All aspects were involved, and this was the final finalization of such a high monthly income.
Wang Yanren saw that Wang Youzhen didn't speak, and his face was full of worry, this matter must be determined and it will not be easy to lower.
Wang Yanren was just about to continue to persuade him, but Wang Youzhen said firmly: "Second uncle, this matter is settled. ”
"Naturally, I have a reason for doing this, doesn't the second uncle believe in my nephew?"
Believe it is believed, but the monthly money is set so high, Wang Yanren is still distressed and panicked.
However, Da'er has already said so, so Wang Yanren can't say anything.
Wang Yanren sighed, since he had made such a decision, he fully supported Da'er's decision.
Get up and walk out, and try to recruit all the workers that Da'er said today.
Especially the spinning woman should be recruited as soon as possible, after all, the wife of the three brothers is not suitable to continue spinning, especially Wang Youzhen's mother-in-law.
Fortunately, Wang Song had also read some books such as nine chapters of arithmetic before, and he was quite proficient in the abacus of accounts, and the future accounts would be handed over to Wang Song to manage.
The accounts in the future will inevitably be extremely numerous, and Wang Song's family can't manage it alone, so Wang Yan and the lady hired by Wang Lai will follow behind to learn the accounts.
Wang Yanren had just stood up, and suddenly remembered something again, and sat back and took out an account book.
The ledger records nothing else, but the annual output of the water-powered spinning mill and how much silver it can earn each year.
Wang Youzhen took the account book and looked at it carefully.
The cotton sold by the bureaucratic squires was six and a half cents of silver, which means that the cost was six and a half cents of silver.
The spindles sold to Fuyanshan Xiangma cost seven and a half cents of silver a catty, and a catty of spindles can earn a penny of silver.
Daming spinning machine spinning two catties of spindles a day, and hydraulic spinning machine can spin two hundred catties of spindles per day.
According to the calculation of a month, a water-powered spinning machine can earn sixty taels of silver.
Seven hundred and thirty taels of silver a year, and two taels of silver for the replacement of parts and components, that is, seven hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver.
If this is replaced by the spinning machine of the bureaucratic squire's spinning workshop, it will be seven taels of silver a year.
That's a hundredfold difference.
Wang Youzhen nodded when he saw this, he was quite satisfied with this amount, and continued to read.
The rest of the calculation is not an estimate, but how much money three hand-cranked spinning machines made last month.
Three hundred spindle spinning machines earned one hundred and eighty taels of silver from Sun Baohu, and later after Xiangma washed the Sun family with blood, he snatched those spindles.
After the deputy master sent ten bird guns, he sent another 180 taels of silver.
A batch of spindles sold for two parts of silver.
Wang Youzhen continued to scroll down and saw how much silver was left.
This time since.
A water conservancy spinning mill was built, and thatched houses were built between Weishui and glue.
He also bought a lot of bits and pieces of foreign goods for Wang Youzhen, and also increased meat for the Wang family and ten villagers.
All in all, one hundred taels of silver were consumed, and two hundred and sixty taels of silver remained.
Although the other party is his second uncle, Wang Youzhen trusts the other party unconditionally, but his own attitude still has to be clear.
Wang Youzhen saw the last page carefully, and handed the account book to the second uncle: "Second uncle, recruit the workers as soon as possible." ”
"In addition, in the past few days, the second uncle has been troubled to go to Fuyan Mountain and ask how many spindles he can eat."
"According to the number of spindles, the corresponding water-powered spinning machine is built."
