Chapter 27: The Great Construction
Within three days, all the money obtained from the auction was received, and it was a big amount of money of 100 million at once, if it was a big room that was piled up, of course, Ye Chen did not want to pile up the money, but planned to start a new round of construction of the Ye family.
"Wu Xian, now that the money is in place, the next step is to engage in construction."
If you have money, you have to spend it, and you can only make more money by spending it, so Ye Chen will not put a lot of money in his hands.
"Yes, young master, I don't know how to do it."
Recently, Wu Xian has also worked hard, and he has been busy with one thing and others, and he has lost some weight in a few days.
Of course, Ye Chen saw it in his eyes, but he didn't want to care about him, if he didn't know how to assign things to his subordinates, then this housekeeper would also fail, and he would not be able to control the overall situation after all, so he could only let him take care of one item.
"First of all, the construction of the workshops was immediately accelerated, and the location was on the other side of the hill of the guard camp, where there was a small stream, which could be used just in time. Now that spring sowing has ended, it is the time when the farming is slack, and all the labor force of all the tenants under the Ye family can be signed. ”
"Young master, there must be twenty or thirty thousand people coming here for all these signs, will this be too much?"
"Many, of course there will be too much, but this is to give them benefits, and the second is to cultivate them; The third is to speed up the progress of the project. ”
"Young master, what's the matter with this benefit." Obviously, Wu Xian didn't understand what Ye Chen meant by giving benefits.
"I came to work for the Ye family, pay wages every day, and pack a meal at noon."
Ye Chen's feeling at this time was that being rich was capricious. These 30,000 people work for him together, and the daily salary alone is tens of thousands.
"This, this young master, the general tenant farmer works for the master's family, and he just takes care of the food." Wu Xian was once again suppressed by Ye Chen's generosity.
"I can't control other people, but I must be paid for my work, so that I can pay three big dollars a day and have enough people to eat at lunch."
"Young master, no one has 3 big money a day, this month can be enough for a family to eat for a month, is it too much, and a meal at noon, this investment is too big, it is estimated that after several projects are completed, there is not much money left for 100 million."
Wu Xian had a bitter face, the Ye family finally had a lot of money, but they let Ye Chen spend it in a few words, and it was so casual and generous.
"Wu Xian, it's nothing to spend this money, it's easy to earn it back. The sooner our winery is built, the sooner we start making money. In addition, there are many projects that will make money in the future, but these industries need people. ”
Ye Chen continued: "And this money is naturally valuable when spent, which will make our Ye family more cohesive, exert better combat effectiveness, and make more money, there are many benefits that you will not understand, but you will understand in the future." ”
At this time, Ye Chen couldn't tell Wu Xian so clearly, he couldn't tell him that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to break out, he couldn't tell him that he would enter the princes' struggle for hegemony in the future, and he couldn't tell him that he had the heart to dominate the world.
When the war broke out, a powerful confluence was formed between the Ye family, whether they were engaged in production or as soldiers, they were willing to work for Ye Chen and send their children to the battlefield.
Of course, the benefits are not limited to these, but they are not visible now.
"Yes, young master, how to build it next, the workshop won't need so many people."
"In addition to the construction of the workshop, then it is necessary to dig a few warehouses for me in that mountain, the warehouses should be waterproof and fireproof, easy to defend, and we must find people who know how to design them."
"Yes, young master." This time, Wu Xian didn't dare to question it again.
"In addition, build a road from the workshop to the warehouse, and then to the official road, the road should be wide and hard, at least four carriages must be able to run in parallel, and then build a road from the guard battalion to the Ye family, the standard is the same as above."
In the future, materials and personnel will inevitably come in and out, and there will be a large amount of materials in and out, and the impact of small roads or bad road conditions will be great.
"By the way, if the road and workshop are built and the tenant farmer's land is occupied, he must be compensated in full."
"Yes, young master."
"Also, Li Qing of Lijiazhuang is a good hand and can assist in construction, he still has the means to coordinate farmers, and it is just right to direct construction on the construction site."
Ye Chen explained many matters again, Wu Xian responded one by one, and finally Wu Xian sweated profusely in his heart, and he didn't know if Ye Chen's 100 million money could withstand it.
In fact, Ye Chen has more than 100 million in his hands, when he concentrated the outside power in Liaodong, he has already obtained tens of millions of money, but Ye Chen also spends a lot of money, and he has already booked a large amount of money to buy land.
Don't blame Wu Xian for reacting like this, Ye Chen is too capable of spending money. Can it cost nothing to build a base in Liaodong? This is only the initial investment, and there will be a lot of investment in the future.
In this way, the area around the Ye family became a huge construction site. Twenty or thirty thousand people worked together, digging the earth, carrying stones, and repairing canals.
Although the labor was hard, everyone's faces were full of happy smiles, because Ye Chen had already asked people to pay for the next month's wages in advance.
Can the peasants not be happy with real money in their hands? Besides, I was still full at noon, and I had to eat even if I didn't work at home, and I couldn't eat enough.
The progress of the project is very fast, everyone works together, and they are very cooperative, and the work is rushed to do, and there is no need for supervision or anything like that.
Of course, the Ye family's money is also a large carload of money to be transported out, the money for buying materials, as well as the wages of workers and the money for eating.
Ye Chen didn't feel distressed about this money, because as soon as the money was spent, the first batch of money to buy Du Kang wine arrived.
I can't wait to get the goods as soon as possible, so that I can quickly ship them back to sell.
Each caravan was a few hundred carts, and a cartload of money was brought in and a cart of Du Kang wine was taken away. The sooner you ship it back, the sooner you make money, because there are so many people who come to pull the goods, they have to queue up. From morning to night, the goods are transported non-stop.
In two days, the Ye family's inventory was almost exhausted, and the brewing workshop had to work overtime. However, they are happy to work overtime, because Ye Chen will give a good overtime pay.
This wind of construction also affected the guard battalion. Escort camps are allowed to have family members visit during breaks.
In the past few days, there have been a lot of visits, firstly, because they came here to work and just came, and secondly, they told them that Ye Chen gave them a very high salary, so that their family had a stable life, and told them to work hard and train hard to repay Ye Chen.
This was something Ye Chen hadn't expected, so that the five hundred guard battalions supported the Ye family and Ye Chen very much, and the originally hard training was a little harder.
The Ye family is under construction, but Ye Chen is more idle. Originally, he was only in the guard camp for a short time in the morning and a little in the evening, but now he stayed in the guard camp for at least half the morning.
Now the escort battalion has formed combat effectiveness and is not lost to the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. And Ye Chen has also grown much taller through training, and his basic skills are solid.
"Second brother, my brother admires you for your five-body throw, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it can reflect my brother's true thoughts."
"The eldest brother won the award, and the younger brother just did what he had to do." Ye Chen said to Tai Shici while training with an iron gun.
Tai Shici did not pick up Ye Chen's topic but continued: "Speaking from the above, it can be seen that you love these farmers very much, and you really care about their lives and help them, which is something that many Han officials can't do, at least I haven't seen one from the Han Dynasty onwards." ”
"On the private side, you are rich enough to dominate one side, but you work harder than others, and even train to a harsh level, you don't want to enjoy it, but try to make the peasants live a good life."
Ye Chen smiled and didn't say anything, if it wasn't for the sake of hegemony, Ye Chen would have treated these people well. Ordinary people have great creativity, and to help them is to help themselves.
"Second brother, it is the greatest honor for the eldest brother to have a brother like you, if there is any need in the future, just say it, the eldest brother will definitely do his best."
Tai Shi Ci's words are undoubtedly equivalent to dedication, and worshipping is not the same as surrendering, but at this time, Tai Shi Ci is sincerely serving Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen has not yet become a force, he already has a foundation and an opportunity that others do not have. There were troops, generals, people, money and food, which made Ye Chen feel very excited.
I didn't expect that I could spend 100 million yuan to build the Ye family in exchange for Tai Shici's investment, this money is worth it, and this money is not a loss.
Ye Chen couldn't help but add a little strength to his hand, and he played a big gun with a tiger.
"Big brother, brother can't guarantee anything else, as long as I am one day, I will protect the people below from being harmed and ensure that they are well fed and clothed."
People are too Shi Ci to express their positions, and this boss has to find out his own position.
The brothers understood each other's thoughts, and for a moment they were silent, only the wind was blowing, and there was a solemn aura on the training ground.
No one can understand Ye Chen's thoughts, from just wanting to save his life in troubled times, to now having a good foundation, he already thinks that he can compete with the princes of the world in troubled times in the future.
Looking at the five hundred seed soldiers, Ye Chen's heart was surging, these five hundred people could conjure up tens of thousands of elite soldiers in one or two years, and in another two years, as long as someone had money and food, they could have an army of 100,000.
Of course, these are all things for the future, and now, it is time for Ye Chen to expand further.
But what Ye Chen didn't know was that when he was about to make a big fight and take his strength to the next level, a life-and-death crisis was approaching Ye Chen.
