Chapter 508: The Temptation of Food and Clothing
This time, the people of the Huaxia Working Group summed up their experience and decided not to rush to send labor to Huaxia before the reputation of the Huaxia Working Group was completely established.
These people who begged for a living in the Huaxia Working Group were originally to promote the best free labor in Huaxia.
The longer they stay here, the greater the impact they will have, and the more people they will continue to attract to them.
As these people have been in contact with the Huaxia State Working Group for longer and longer, there are more and more topics among them.
Of course, for these ordinary people, the favorite topic to talk about is - eating.
And for the people of Huaxia, eating has long been something they need to think about every day.
In addition to the original porridge, some dishes that are unique to the Chinese country have also been added to the canteen of the working group outside the city.
In this cold winter when the grass is wilting, being able to eat fresh vegetables is simply something that all Wei people dare not imagine.
But it only takes three Chinese dollars, and you can choose four kinds of side dishes at will, and you can fill a bowl with a full bowl.
Although this kind of small bowl can't hold much, the thick layer of oil and water on top of the vegetable soup makes all the people of Wei feel that it is worth the money.
If you still want to eat meat, you only need six Chinese five baht money, and you can choose any plate of those dozen kinds of meat dishes.
The taste of those dishes completely surpasses any restaurant in Xiangyang City.
As a result, the canteen of the Huaxia Working Group was opened larger and larger, and even dozens of cooks and small workers were sent from Huaxia to barely maintain the normal operation of the canteen.
The two water transport platforms have to walk twice a day from Jingmen to Xiangyang City, mainly to transport some vegetables, rice and other daily necessities.
And the handling of these materials is also distributed by issuing tasks.
According to the statistics of independent platforms, only those who carry materials with an average weight of more than 600 catties per day are eligible for this moving job.
In order to reduce the round-trip of labor, the upper and lower material handling of the water transportation platform is divided into two parts.
There are ten strong laborers on the wharf outside Jingmen City, specially responsible for loading goods.
There are ten strong laborers on the dock outside Xiangyang City, specially responsible for unloading goods.
The safety during transportation is the responsibility of the people of the Huaxia Self-Defense Force.
Originally, Wei Minsheng could have installed labor-saving machinery such as conveyor belts on the two docks, but Li Yan said: "The setting of these posts is to allow those people to have more contact with people in Huaxia."
Only when they themselves realize how much difference there is between their daily life and Huaxia will they have the idea of living in Huaxia.
But the gap can't be too big, because if the gap is too big, they will think it's an extravagant hope, and they will give up the idea. ”
Therefore, Wei Minsheng adopted Li Yan's method and let these people gradually come into contact with the more advanced things of Huaxia.
For ordinary people, eating is used to gradually improve their knowledge.
Only after you have eaten enough will you think about other things, such as the question of dressing.
The cold wind by the river is always so bitter, and the sackcloth on these people is obviously impossible to resist.
It's a little better when you're working, and you might even sweat a lot.
But once you unload the materials you are carrying, you will feel even colder under the combined action of the cold wind and sweat.
In light of this situation, Huaxiaguo's store in Xiangyang City began to sell fleece warm pants.
You only need the usual money, that is, 162 Huaxia 5 baht money, to buy a set of dense warm and fleece warm pants.
There is also a simple raincoat that can be bought for only twenty Chinese five baht.
It's just that this raincoat can't withstand much strength, and even a small branch can puncture it.
Although this plastic raincoat is thin, it is able to withstand cold wind and drizzle, and firmly lock in the heat emitted by the body.
Many people carefully put away their raincoats when they were carrying supplies, because they were not afraid of cold when they worked.
Then, when unloading the supplies, put on the raincoat immediately, and instantly feel that a few more pieces of single clothes have been added, so that it will not be easy to catch a cold when it is hot and cold.
The emergence of warm clothes and pants also created another way for the Huaxia State Working Group to exchange coins.
Because, all the things of Huaxia only recognize Huaxia five-baht money, and all other money is not recognized, and can only be used after exchange.
In the case of a large number of supplies, the Huaxia five-baht coin was quickly recognized by the people of Xiangyang, and quickly spread to Fancheng and beyond.
The large number of copper coins obtained in the exchange process have been screened to leave behind those coins that are older and have a deeper historical imprint.
After a simple sorting, these coins are sent to the major coin markets and dumped at nearly 20% lower than their counterparts.
Because of the margin left for those coin collectors to make a profit, some special coins were quickly bought by collectors at high prices.
And they chose the remaining coins that were not easy to sell, and continued to increase the price reduction, some even to half of the market price.
The influx of large quantities of five-baht coins from the Qin and Han dynasties soon caused the price of such coins to plummet.
Even in the later period, when the collection market was flooded with copper coins, each piece could only be sold for one or two yuan.
But no matter how they are sold, these coins that Huaxia Guo exchanged for some steel hammers can be regarded as windfall profits for one or two yuan.
Because, the manufacturing cost of these steel hammers is only two or three cents, and Li Yan and they can exchange this kind of steel hammers for three to five five-baht coins in Xiangyang City.
Therefore, the coins processed in this way can obtain ten times or even thousands of times the income, injecting a lot of funds into Shuguang Group and Minsheng Company.
The other broken and newer coins were not collectible at all, so they were sent to the metal smelting and processing factory in Huaxia through Li Yan's shared space, and all of them were smelted into copper ingots.
The ingots are sent to the real-world District of Tuvalu, where they are further processed and purified using modern techniques before being stored.
Then, according to the trend of international copper prices, Shuguang Group chooses the appropriate time to sell it to obtain a large amount of construction funds.
Since the price difference between steel and copper in the real world has reached more than ten times per ton, these "Chinese five-baht" props produced in Tuvalu Special Zone can directly generate more than ten times the income even if they are sold for copper after they are replaced in another world.
However, these earnings are calculated in the account of Shuguang Group and used for Wei Minsheng's expenses to purchase other materials.
