Chapter 34 The Restraint of Industrialization
(Thanks to the mechanical order, the lonely migrant worker, An Zimo, Love Without a Trace, and the destined recommendation vote!!) )
Fortunately, it is still easy to find workers, Wang Haoran wrote the price standard for soliciting customers on each rickshaw, and asked Hanniu to recruit more than a dozen workers in the market, and one person pulled a rickshaw to pull customers for three days, and the salary was 50 wen a day.

"Little master, aren't you worried about someone making money and quietly keeping some for yourself?" Han Niu asked.
"It's fine." The questions that Han Niu can think of, Wang Haoran can naturally think of it, but Wang Haoran doesn't care about this money, how can he say that he is now a rich businessman. What he wants is to find one of these people to manage the rental shop, and who to choose, it depends on how much money these people pay back.
In the past three days, the money handed back by these people has risen every day, and the maximum day can earn nearly 600 yuan, and the least is nearly 200 yuan, so calculated, Wang Haoran has also earned more than ten taels of silver. To pay these workers, Wang Haoran said: "You have also seen that this soliciting work can make a lot of money, until now the time to hire you has expired, if anyone wants to rent these rickshaws, they can go to the convenient car shop to find me." ”
"Little master, I don't know how much it costs to rent a rickshaw?" The workers must have this idea, and they have only heard that the rickshaws of the convenient car shop may be rented out in the future, but they don't know exactly how it will be.
"The daily rent is fifty dollars, and the monthly rent is consistent."
"So where are we going to rent a rickshaw tomorrow?"
"Go to the rental shop, it's not far from here." Wang Haoran ran out of three shops in Shengxin, so he had to rent another shop nearby.
When sending the excited workers away, Wang Haoran said to one of them: "Lao Huang, you stay and discuss something." ”
"What's the matter with the little master?" Lao Huang is the worker who handed in the most money, in his thirties, although he is illiterate, but he has a sharp mind, otherwise it would be impossible to pull nearly 600 yuan a day.
"Although you can earn nearly 600 dollars a day at most, this is unlikely to be the case for a long time, and there will definitely be more and more solicitors in the future, don't you say?" Wang Haoran takes a fancy to Lao Huang as an honest person, and he can write, such a person is not easy to find, so it is not a big problem for him to take care of the rental shop.
"That's true, but it's not bad to make one or two hundred dollars a day."
"Hmm. But I have a job for you to do, thirty times a month, can you do it? "This old yellow
"Thirty runs?!" Lao Huang asked in disbelief, so surprised that he forgot to close his mouth after speaking.
"Yes, I want to take care of the rental business of this car dealership to you."
"Good, good! Of course I do! ”
"Okay, I'll take you over now to explain your work, and tomorrow you will officially work there."
Early the next morning, Lao Huang, who went to the rental store early to open the door, saw many people gathered in front of the store, some of whom were soliciting customers a few days ago, and others should be relatives and friends introduced by these people.
"Huh? Lao Huang, why did you come here alone? Why don't you call more people for such a good errand? A few days ago, a worker who was soliciting customers together recognized Lao Huang and stepped forward to talk.
Lao Huang smiled bitterly and did not answer the man's question. If you want to talk about relatives and friends, Lao Huang has a lot of friends, but when his family is in difficulty, no one is willing to help, and while feeling the cold state of the world, Lao Huang has no contact with those so-called relatives and friends.
"Lao Chi, you can come early, the rickshaws that can be rented out in the store are limited." Lao Huang changed the subject.
"Oh? And what's going on? How much can you rent out? "Lao Chi didn't expect Lao Huang's news to be so well-informed.
"At present, there are only more than 50 vehicles, and in the future, a maximum of 100 vehicles can be rented." This matter was explained by Wang Haoran to Lao Huang, if too many people left the farmland and came to solicit customers, the court would definitely be anxious with him. In addition to the large number of people, another very important reason is that the peasant class produces grain, and grain is the foundation of the country, especially in the Tang Dynasty, when grain productivity was insufficient.
"Fifty cars!" Lao Chi hurriedly looked at the crowd, and it was estimated that there were less than thirty people, so he calmed down a little and complained, "Why is this store still open?!" ”
"Isn't this coming?" Lao Huang proudly shook the key in his hand towards Lao Chi.
Seeing Lao Huang open the door with the key, Lao Chi, who originally thought that Lao Huang was joking, was shocked and asked curiously, "Why do you have this key?" Could it be ......"
"Well, the little master asked me to take care of this shop." Lao Huang said with a smile, from yesterday to now, he feels like he has been in a sweet dream.
"Congratulations!" The other people who had been soliciting customers before all came over to congratulate them.
"Rejoice and rejoice! Everyone, get in line, and I'll register you all. Lao Huang's face was full of red light, he hadn't been so proud for a long time.
"Presumably, the young master of the Wang family let you manage this store because you made the most money, right? It's a pity that I have more than a hundred dollars less than you. Lao Chi said remorsefully.
"The little master will naturally not forget you, he said, the four who make the most money in three days will not need a deposit to rent a car in the future."
"Really? That's great! I borrowed a lot of money for this deposit. Lao Chi was overjoyed.
"Is this true?" Two workers happily squeezed over to confirm.
"It's the two of you!" Lao Huang recognized these two people as the two drivers in the third and fourth rows, and laughed, "Naturally, it's true, you two don't need to pay a deposit to rent a car, just sign it." ”
After speaking, Lao Huang leaned closer and whispered to the three of them, "Don't look at the young master's young age, he is not so easy to be deceived. ”
Lao Chi naturally knew what Lao Huang was referring to, and secretly congratulated himself that he had controlled himself at that time. Although good deeds are rewarded, this cause and effect also comes too quickly? But fast is good! Lao Chi said he was very satisfied.
Don't mention these small businesses, Wang Haoran can be regarded as a hands-off shopkeeper, just asking Lao Huang to come over every half a month to report his performance. During this time, Wang Haoran's various stores were on the right track, although he didn't make any big moves, but he was not idle, basically staying in the factory and Chen Jun to improve the equipment. With the addition of Wang Haoran, the improvement process of the equipment has been significantly accelerated, and the most prominent thing is that all kinds of equipment have been changed to gear driven, and the speed of the machine can be adjusted at will.
In fact, with these equipment, Wang Haoran can make more practical things, and he originally wanted to do it, but before he heard a news about the imperial court's policy of encouraging the people to open up wasteland, and it was this news that dispelled Wang Haoran's idea of making machinery and equipment on a large scale. After all, the Tang Dynasty is not the 21st century, and the development of industry is more favorable for the 21st century. And what about the Tang Dynasty? Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, due to the continuous **** during the previous dynasties, there were not many people in the country that Li Yuan took over, and it was about 10 million people, and when it came to Li Shimin, the population had increased a lot, but it was still not more than 20 million people. Just such a few people, after deducting the three classes of businessmen and commerce, and then going out to the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are very few people who can do farm work, and the output of agricultural products is not very good, resulting in the total grain output of the whole country has been in a state of poverty, and people will starve to death in normal times, let alone encounter natural disasters. If there is a less than perfect industrialization at this time, although it can save some manpower, it will not be possible to make the same mechanized equipment as in the 21st century, and there will certainly be a lot of workers needed, which will certainly make some peasants abandon their fields and run to work, and in this way, the situation of food shortage will inevitably worsen! The consequences would be unimaginable. It is said that Li Shimin cherishes his own people, and even criminals are reluctant to pull them to behead them, so they may not be without this consideration. Since even the emperor in a high position would pity so many laborers, Wang Haoran would naturally not be so selfish.
In this way, if you want Datang to enter the era of industrialization, you must first solve the food problem. But the trouble is that only one crop of rice can be planted here a year, which is a hard injury for the study of miscellaneous rice, and it is useless to be urgent. Regarding this defect, Wang Haoran did not want to travel thousands of miles to the south to study, so he could only follow the next rice planting himself, and strive to cultivate good rice varieties at one time. As for the three-system method, although it is also very urgent, it can only be pushed back.
