Chapter 215: If you don't get rich as an official, you won't come if you invite me!
It is a good business for Yaren to cross the sea to Japan to recruit workers, but the distance is a little too far...... It's better to try your luck in Shandong, and beg businessmen to have a saying, there is no unused labor in the world, how much you want!
It's also true that no matter how many people flock to the island, it always seems that they can find work quickly...... The laborers were sucked away like a plate of clear water poured into the sand on the riverbank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the tooth people, ordinary labor may not be able to earn much money, but if you can dig out a few master craftsmen to Liuqiu Island or to the Shandong region, you can receive a big harvest...... Otherwise, they will go to the northern mountains to recruit cheaper laborers, and because of the cost, the income will be very high.
Therefore, at that time, Lao Gui and his family wanted to find tooth people to go to the north to recruit laborers, and soon two or three tooth people jumped out to take over.
After accepting the deposit from Lao Gui, they took some necessary living supplies and pushed a dozen wheelbarrows towards the north.
They used a flow-style wheelbarrow, which had smaller wheels than the Da Song type, and used bearings, which were more dexterous and convenient, and better loaded in comparison.
They discussed it in advance and went their separate ways, so as not to form a vicious competition and not attract the attention of the local government.
At that time, the Tatar army had not yet arrived, and they really brought out a lot of labor after being exploited in some places.
The wages they promised frightened them, and for them one month's wages were enough for them to spend half a year.
Moreover, they are also male and female, young and old, as long as they can follow themselves, they all take ...... When the time comes, the wages will be talked about, and it will not be difficult for people to carry them.
These tooth people are bold and careful.
They brought with them a lot of whale oil, salted mashed potatoes, cornmeal flatbread and dried cassava, which were relatively easy to store and transport, and were extremely cheap...... As long as some boiling water is boiled, it can be used as rations for the laborers, and they should have no problem walking to the Shandong area.
In the past few years, the total amount of food in this time and space is far better than in real history.
Wheat cultivation is the smallest input-output ratio of food crops, basically one to five, which requires more dry land; Rice has a large yield ratio, but it requires intensive cultivation, especially strict environmental requirements, and more manpower is required for intermediate field management.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and corn have a larger yield ratio, and compared with the cultivation requirements of intensive cultivation and special environments, it is not an exaggeration to say that these four crops are life-saving divine food!
This is not even the excellent rice seeds that have been passed down from Liuqiu!!
Therefore, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, where there was no shortage of grain, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the current output of grain is rich.
The low price of food has led to the development of handicrafts...... The commercial development of the entire Great Song Dynasty has become more rapid.
However, this was only a change within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the northern regions, or more northern, were not affected enough.
The food problem in the north remains...... Of course, this is also the reason why the tooth people dare to go deeper into the north, believing that they can attract more labor.
Later, the people who came back said, "The people there are poor...... A family can only have one set of clothes, who goes out to work and who wears it, have you seen a little lady for more than ten years who has no clothes to wear, so she can only hide at home? So I got a few clothes and they were able to go with me......"
Another tooth man said: "They are all hungry, soak corn tortillas and dried cassava in hot water, mix whale oil, and eat salted mashed potatoes. ”
The last tooth man's statement made the others blush.
"I took those families with me, and as long as I was given some food along the way, they followed me on their own, and they didn't mention any wages or no wages...... If I eat more, I can bring back more labor!! ”
His statement was true, and because they were acting separately, the number of people was not too large, so it did not attract the attention of the local government...... They took with them all destitute families, and they could not collect any taxes from them, and they were still unstable, so their departure was tacitly approved by the local officials.
However, their party may also be intercepted by some bandits...... Fortunately, they are simply a group of people who have fled the famine, they have no money, and they have not been destroyed too much.
In short, those tooth people took advantage of the relative calm in the early stage of the war and adopted the small unit of action of the ants to move, and recruited a lot of labor, which solved the needs of small workshop owners such as Lao Gui, and also made some small fortunes for themselves.
The laborers from the north were finally able to eat enough and wear normal clothes.
Of course, this incident also attracted the attention of Captain Bowie.
Shandong has always been under military management, and although he does not need to manage specific work, of course, he must also pay attention to some people's livelihood issues...... The report that Zhang Guoan asked them to write was not just a military issue.
Previously, they set up Zaozhuang County as a separate administrative unit.
The reason is very simple, this was originally the north-south junction of the two counties, and as more and more people applied for the excavation of small coal kilns, charcoal kilns, brick kilns, and cement and white ash kilns, it developed rapidly, and the people gathered more and more...... As long as there is money to earn, the feet of the common people will run wherever they go.
Therefore, they had no choice but to separate the north-south junction of the two counties and set up a set of county-level leading bodies.
It is currently an important supplier of energy raw materials, which must be managed in place and not caused chaos.
Captain Bao Wei also listened to the special report of the county magistrate of Zaozhuang and agreed very much with his management work.
The magistrate of Zaozhuang County was originally a county magistrate in a certain county in Zhending Road under the rule of the Tatar bandit group, and when Pingzhang Ahma began to make a big deal of manager law to ******, his mind was very flexible and his consciousness was very advanced, and he ran away with his family overnight.
In fact, he had been secretly preparing.
In his hand not only did he have the money issued by the Tatar bandit group, but he also prepared some money from the Great Song Dynasty and Liuqiu. This is clearly a red heart with three preparations.
However, this will not be particularly eye-catching, the money of the Great Song Dynasty and Liuqiu also openly participated in the market flow in the north, and even sometimes the government also used it, and everyone was about the same and insensitive in terms of the theoretical level of money.
When he made the final choice, he still chose the Shandong region, the reason is very simple, one is the local proximity, and the other is that it is said that as long as he passes any of their exams, there are still officials to do.
This point can go to the Great Song Dynasty to be a little rich man, but it is much more important...... The reason, if you don't get rich as an official, you won't invite me to come!
He really studied hard for a period of time in Jinan City, and soon figured out the Liuqiu-style management method, so he passed the exam and got his first official position with excellent results.
He was so happy at the time, he really didn't invite or give it, and he could be an official without any payment on the money?! (To be continued.) )
