Chapter 108 High salaries to retain technical talents
"Yes, no matter how much salary, we are willing to serve the horse......"
In the past few days, he has been doing things in the house, and the daily eating and drinking is quite rich, and several people also know that Liu Huayun is a bold person, and he must have a bright future with him;
Therefore, after the man finished speaking, the rest of the people also opened their mouths to echo.
"In this way, the tentative salary of thirty taels of silver per person per month will be increased appropriately depending on the situation in the future, I don't know how many old brothers are still satisfied?
If you are satisfied, go to the study with me to sign a note, and from now on you will be the people of my Horse Mansion......."
Liu Huayun is not short of money, and after the machine tool can be used to cut and polish the original, all kinds of generators, motors, diesel engines, gasoline engines, etc., can be slowly made;
With time, these nine people can be trained to become the first generation of veteran workers who specialize in building machinery.
Moreover, as long as the technology is mature, a large power plant can be built in the suburbs of Beijing for the use of the royal family and themselves, and at the same time, some household fees can also be charged, and it will slowly be popularized to the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles.
When the time comes, you can make a lot of money by undertaking the electricity transformation project of a large household, and these people will be technicians who are fighting on the front line.
Therefore, Liu Huayun smiled faintly and directly said a number that made them unable to hide their joy.
"Yes, I, Liu Quanyu, am willing."
"Master Ma, I, Ma Liang, am also willing to ......"
"And I, Zhao Yang......"
"And I, Zhang Falin......"
What is the concept of thirty taels in today's Dafeng, a seven-grade county order is only more than twenty taels of Yulu, Liu Huayun's official servant and university scholar Ji Xiaolan, excluding Lu rice, it is more than 100 taels of silver.
The thirty taels he spoke of were in addition to the daily food and drink, and the net moon was thirty taels, and although these people were all well-known skilled craftsmen, they often did not earn two hundred taels a year;
Otherwise, he would have made a fortune a long time ago, and he still had to work so hard, so as soon as Liu Huayun finished speaking, the nine people expressed their attitudes one after another.
"A few brothers, this is the content of the contract, see if there are any problems? If you don't have any doubts, please sign it......
Oh, Brother Zhang can't read, so I'll read it to you......"
Half an hour later, in the hall of the outer courtyard, Liu Huayun took nine drafted documents and handed them to Zhao Yang, Ma Liang, Zhang Falin and others with a smile.
In those days, there were not many rules and regulations of the law, and the content of the document was actually very simple, only a few articles that were easy to understand.
For example, after signing a contract with the Horse House, they can live here; You can also come here during the day and go home at night to accompany your wife and children, but when you need them, you must follow your own arrangements.
In addition, you must not disclose what you have done and you must not terminate the contract without permission...... In fact, to put it bluntly, this seemingly loose clause is also equivalent to a disguised deed of sale.
After all, Liu Huayun would not be stupid and spend thousands of taels of silver a year to raise a few white-eyed wolves who dismantle their own platforms.
"Master Ma, I have no doubts about Liu Quanyu, I signed it first."
The middle-aged Liu Quanyu is a skilled craftsman who is proficient in carving and grinding tools, and he is also quite a shrewd person among several people, and he knows how important it is to gain the favor of the young man in front of him to his future status;
Therefore, after listening to Liu Huayun's words, he didn't read the content on it at all, so Lang smiled and picked up the pen, and then pressed the bright red palm print.
Liu Quanyu, Ma Liang, Zhao Yang, Zhang Falin and others all have families in the capital, and few people are willing to live in the Horse Mansion; After signing the contract, all nine of them became a 9-to-5 office worker.
Liu Huayun doesn't mind this, anyway, this year, a piece of paper can make the other party bankrupt, and several people should not dare to disobey him.
"Brother Liu, Brother Ma, you two can start making abrasives, Brother Zhao and Brother Zhang will temper the fine iron for another two hours, and then add these metals to it for smelting.......
Graphite is indispensable for machines that electrolyze crude oil.
The distribution of Dafeng graphite mine, according to Liu Huayun's knowledge, is the largest in Laixi, Shandong, but the difficulty of mining is relatively large.
Some coal mines also contain a small amount of graphite, and he didn't need a lot of it at first.
However, in the current capital, Liu Huayun has not yet found this substance, and it may be that the Shanxi merchants who mine coal have treated it as useless waste, and no one has sold it at all.
Therefore, Liu Huayun, who didn't want a few people to eat dry rice for nothing, simply let them try to start smelting stainless steel.
Time flies by in the busyness, and before you know it, it is evening.
In the mansion of the Horse Mansion, three bright rays of light reflected the power room, the courtyard, and the hall where several women were located as if it were day.
"Xianggong, this electric light is really magical, it is much brighter than our candles, when can we install a ...... in our sisters' rooms?"
"Yes, when I have a baby in the future, if I go into labor at night, I can see it more clearly......"
Liu Ruoxi, Meng Yushi, Alice, and Liu Ruoping, who came back at noon, were surprised by the glass cover that would light up during the day, but it was not obvious at noon after all;
But at this moment, they were really shocked when they were sitting under the electric light to eat.
It can be seen from the little girls such as Yu'er, Shuang'er, and Xin'er who are waiting on the side, looking up at the buzzing and smoky power generation room in the distance from time to time.
"Hehe, not for the time being, but don't worry, ladies, at most a year, at least three or five months, Xianggong can meet your wishes......"
The universal watch has not yet been built, and it is not known how many watts these three tungsten lamps have, but in terms of brightness, Liu Huayun guessed that it should be about 800 watts;
This is a waste for a generator with a power generation capacity of about six kilowatts, and the power is more than enough to install one in each of the seven wives' rooms.
If energy-saving lamps are invented, they should be enough for the lighting of a mansion, but the key is that there are no insulated wires, and Liu Huayun does not dare to do this.
Buying aluminum and copper and smelting them into silk to make wires is negligible for the wealthy Fumafu, but if a fire is caused by electricity leakage, the consequences will be unimaginable......
"Oh, it's going to take three or five months, it's okay, you don't have to worry...... Xianggong"
"Yes, as long as there is a minister, we don't ...... anything"
How could they not afford to wait for a few months to rely on candles to illuminate a few women, so they spoke out and comforted.
"Ruoxi, Yushi, Alice, are you sisters planning to open on the same day?"
The shop left for Dong Xiaowan and Lei Tingting to be used as a bakery was not in a hurry to decorate due to the problem of milk source.
The decoration and renovation of restaurants, ready-to-wear shops, and beauty salons have been completed for the most part, and after finishing the topic of electric lights, Liu Huayun asked with a faint smile.
"Hmm~~~Hmm~~~, our sisters have already posted the recruitment notice, will you accompany us tomorrow?"
The three women responded at the same time, their faces full of expectation, and after Liu Huayun nodded, they all laughed excitedly......
"Xianggong, you lie down and try the egg white mask I made myself......"
After a while, Alice, who was making dozens of vegetable and fruit masks and traditional Chinese medicine masks in the booklet, and was preparing and researching every day, held a small porcelain bowl and said to Liu Huayun, who entered her room.
