The work of recruiting refugees and leveling the land was carried out almost simultaneously, and the first few days were hectic, Xu Qilin went out early and returned late, which was even harder than being on duty in the court.

However, with the improvement and smoothness of the work process, as the managers became more familiar with the assigned work, Xu Qilin slowly relaxed.

For this kind of house-building work, the officials and craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry are all experts, and there is an official "Construction Law" as a standard. In addition to the layout and style of the house, Xu Qilin naturally does not need to come up with any new tricks.

Moreover, the improvement of work efficiency is not only the progress of technology, the advancement of tools, etc., but also the organization and management, such as reasonable deployment and overall division of labor.

After observing the process for three or two days, as well as the manpower and time required, Xu Qilin reassigned the work so that the various processes and processes could be closely connected and reasonably intersected.

Subsequently, he also adjusted in time according to the schedule, so that manpower and material resources could be maximized.

And His Majesty Li Er seems to have great trust and value for Xu Qilin, and the construction work is completely handed over to him, so that he is fully responsible.

Of course, this made officials, craftsmen and others think that Xu Qilin is already a confidant of His Majesty Li Er, and their attitude towards Xu Qilin is more and more respectful.

Xu Qilin knew in his heart that the support given to him by His Majesty Li Er could not be regarded as a proud capital for the time being.

First of all, his proposal is reasonable, and he does not seek personal gain in the implementation, which can be described as conscientious; The second is another test of His Majesty Li Er, to see how capable he is.

It seems to be beautiful, it seems to be powerful, and it seems that no one opposes it, but it is also a test.

But Xu Qilin is very confident in this, as long as he is serious and diligent, he will definitely be able to do this job well. Even if there is a slight omission, it is nothing, and His Majesty Li Er values character and work attitude the most.

Of course, if you have a good character, a serious work attitude, and excellent ability, it will be unreasonable if you don't get the favor and trust of His Majesty Li Er.

"Xu Lang, the villain's side is done." A call made Xu Qilin wake up from his contemplation, it turned out that the foreman named Chen Datie came to report, and there was his brother Chen Ertie beside him, a very clever young man.

Sectional construction, contracting and division of labor, inspection and sealing are also one of Xu Qilin's ways to improve efficiency and prevent malpractices. As a result of these measures, a number of foremen appeared, all of whom were more powerful and authoritative among the refugees.

Digging earth, digging wells, mud, tamping, laying foundations...... These process types of work have also been carefully divided by Xu Qilin, forming a rule of paying according to the size of the output and the amount of work.

If you go to drink the soup kitchen of the government, you will not starve to death and you will not be half hungry.

But now in terms of workload, an incentive mechanism has been formed. You work a lot, you contribute a lot, you naturally get more, and you eat enough; If you don't do much, then continue to drink porridge and starve to death.

Xu Qilin smiled faintly, took the ticket in Chen Datie's hand, and carefully looked at the paintings of the two old craftsmen above, proving that the project met the requirements. He opened the record book again, found the information of a section of the project contracted by Chen Datie, and calculated it.

"It's fast! Well, your team will do some of their own work for someone tomorrow, and the pay will only be high. Xu Qilin finished the calculation and explained again, took a book of tickets, wrote down the amount of rice grain and money, and stamped his seal.

This kind of ticket was also designed and printed by Xu Qilin, which is the basis for the payment of remuneration. There are two copies in total, and the amount must be filled in in person when disbursed, and the money and grain will be injected into the root slip as a proof of reconciliation.

"Thank you, Xu Lang." Chen Datie took the ticket with both hands and asked, "Since it is Xu Lang's own work, the villain must do a better job." ”

Xu Qilin nodded with a smile and asked, "If there is still room for energy, the progress of the excavation of the drainage ditch in the east is not ideal, are you willing to take over?" ”

Chen Datie hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Thank you Xu Lang for taking care of you, these people are just worried that they have no work to do, and they can't support the whole family, where is there any reason for strength?" ”

"Okay, I'll leave this work to you, and in a few days you will recruit some more men, and you must do it quickly and well. I won't take care of you when it comes to quality inspection. Xu Qilin reciprocated, but he didn't forget to give a word.

Take care of it, Xu Qilin also watched Chen Datie work hard, and this quality inspection will never relax.

"Xu Lang, don't worry, the work handed over to the villain will never go wrong." Chen Datie patted his chest and reassured, and thanked him again and again.

It feels so good to have power, so many people nod their heads and flatter and flatter. Xu Qilin watched Chen Datie go away, retracted his gaze, and explained to Scarlett beside him.

That's right, Xu Qilin is cultivating Scarlett. It also means that if Scarlett is smart enough, all or part of the future industry will be handed over to her, including this kind of engineering organization and management.

After listening to the explanation, Scarlett asked a few more questions, thought for a while, and said with some worry: "Ah Lang, our money is spent quickly. In just a few days, two or three thousand times have been smashed in! ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "The initial investment must be huge, and three thousand is not much." Well, it doesn't matter, when that house is built, we won't have to pay out of our own pockets! ”

Scarlett pointed to the rudimentary house in the distance and asked suspiciously, "How useful is it to build only such a room?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said incomprehensibly: "Because the name of that building is 'Sales Office'." ”

Scarlett blinked wide, not quite understanding. According to her understanding, it is to build one and sell the other, so that there is money to continue construction.

But Xu Qilin didn't have such a simple and untechnical idea. The method he used was also commonplace in later generations, that is, pre-selling off-plan properties, also known as selling off-plan properties.

Since there were no banks in the Tang Dynasty, people bought houses and houses in cash, so there were no loans. Therefore, the pre-sale of off-plan housing, or the possible speculation later, is not a financial risk.

According to Xu Qilin's rough calculation, only one-fifth of the 50 percent deposit can be pre-sold, and the funds for the entire construction are enough.

As for what installment payment, Xu Qilin doesn't need to do it at all. These houses are not sold to the general public, but to merchants with a lot of money in their pockets.

Needless to say, after getting the gossip revealed by Xu Qilin, Boss Xu has already said that he wants to buy or rent a house here, open another restaurant, and set up another shop.

Businessmen have the most sensitive sense of smell, and they are also clear about the expansion space of the East and West Markets, and they can see the business opportunities and prospects in them after a little calculation.

Jinguangmen and Chunli Gate are directly connected to the east and west cities, which are the key points for merchants to come and go; Outside the city, there is no curfew, people can be accepted and moved in whenever they come, and the goods can be counted when they arrive; In addition, the housing prices are cheaper than those in Chang'an City, and the price comparison is extremely high.

Xu Qilin first chose to start construction outside the Chunli Gate in the east, mainly to accumulate some experience first, and the craftsmen who are familiar with Chinese architecture in the Ministry of Engineering are also ready-made.
