Chapter 27: Purchasing Power
The sea breeze was cold, and the air was mixed with this unbearable cold, Zhu Changyuan arranged for the two hundred people who crossed the sea to walk along the cement road towards the place where the office road was located. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info",
The winter was cold, and the north wind was howling, blowing on the face like a knife, but the workers on Sun Moon Island were energetic in the face of the cold wind, and none of them slacked off.
Because the holy general on the island has just issued an order: all the workers who work from today onwards earn their own money to support themselves, and if they work, they will have food and even surplus food, and if they do not work, they will only starve to death.
"Tell me, how did the Holy General set our wages, and how much did it cost for a day?" A thin, but quick-looking young man did not forget to inquire about wages while working.
"I can't say for sure, but some people have heard General Manager Yan say that I don't understand how much each worker is paid for a day, and I don't understand how much money is paid for three days, and if you don't rest for a month, you can earn ten yuan."
"Ten dollars, I've heard of this, but how much is it? How do you exchange it with silver? The young man asked again.
"What do you care so much for?" The man next to him interrupted the young man's question and said, "I don't know how much I can buy with ten yuan, but I heard that the highest-paid Yan Da manager on the island is only twenty yuan a month, so I wondered how ten yuan could buy ten stone rice." ”
"That's a lot. Ten stone meters... ”
Zhu Changyuan quietly passed by the two people, deliberately slowing down, wanting to hear the workers' opinions on his own management system.
I only heard the fat man say, "You don't know, listen to people." Except for General Manager Yan and Director Zhu. Skilled workers are also paid well. They can get about fifteen or sixteen yuan a month, and even eighteen yuan if they work overtime. ”
"Eighteen pieces, that's a lot." The young man was fascinated and asked intoxicatedly: "I also want to become a skilled worker, and when I earn enough money, I will go out to buy a daughter-in-law, but, Brother Li, what is this matter of a skilled worker?" ”
"Huh. I have to tell you about this slowly, the so-called skilled workers are those who know how to pull wires, who can carry instruments all over the mountains and see the ground, and Captain Jiang, who knows how to build, anyway, to put it bluntly, they have a skill. ”
After the man next to him finished speaking, the young man said: "Oh, in this way, I am also a skilled worker, and I used to be a soldier in the mountains to cut wood and burn charcoal." Does it count? ”
"Poof, me!" Brother Li said: "What kind of skilled worker is charcoal burning. Less crooked ways in your head, work hard, work hard this month, and when I get paid next month, I'll buy a few thick clothes to wear, don't you see, those clothes in the shops on the island, hey, it's really thick, it's not cold to think about. ”
When the young man was told by Brother Li, the longing in his heart was suddenly shattered, his face hung his head, and he was about to complain, when he suddenly heard someone behind him whisper: "Holy General, Holy General is here." ”
"Meet the Holy General!"
Some people began to bow down to Zhu Changyuan.
Zhu Changyuan nodded with a smile and said: "You all work very hard, this one is right, the weather is gradually getting cooler, work hard to earn wages, and when the wages are paid, it is good to sell some thick clothes in the shops on the island for the winter, and besides, in addition to clothes, there are rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables and meat." Cheekily pitched, looked at the young man who claimed to be a skilled worker and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"I, my name, back to the words of the holy general, the small cheap name is called Tiangao." Tiangao saw that the divine general was actually talking to him, and he was so excited that he couldn't even say a word for a while, and he was a little nervous in his heart.
"Don't be afraid." Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old and said, "You just said that you know how to burn charcoal?" ”
"Yes, General!" Tiangao knelt down, kowtowed a few times and said: "The little one used to burn charcoal in the mountains before he became a soldier, so the little one was just reckless, and he lost his mouth for a while, saying that he was a skilled worker, and the small one was really, really... ”
"It's okay, you stand up and talk." Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said: "Charcoal burning is also technical work, and not everyone can do it well, as long as you understand technology, we will reuse it on Sun Moon Island." After speaking, he said loudly to the workers who gathered around: "On our Sun Moon Island, as long as they have contributed to the island, they are all good citizens, and they will be protected by the army and gods on the island, whether they are noble or low. ”
"General, General!"
"Long live the General."
"Hooray!"
。。。
Someone shouted long live, Zhu Changyuan listened, first startled, and then slowly smiled.
From this point of view, through these successive magic weapons, at least some of the residents of these islands have reversed their beliefs, and in their hearts, Sun Moon Island and his position of Zhu Changyuan are at least equal to those of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a good sign.
Zhu Changyuan was extremely happy, and said to Tiangao: "You go to Yan Hongyan, the general manager, and say that I let you go, ask him for some manpower and tools, and go to the mountains to organize charcoal burning, can you do it?" ”
"Yes!" Tiangao put his feet together and saluted, and said, "The little one will burn charcoal since he was a child to ensure that he can complete the task." ”
Charcoal burning is a simple process, the procedure is not complicated, as long as there are skilled workers in the lead, there is no difficulty.
"Hmm."
"The general." Tiangao said with some embarrassment: "Then am I considered a skilled worker?" ”
"Count, count!" Zhu Changyuan knew what he was going to say, and said: "The salary of skilled workers is high, five cents a day, and fifteen yuan a month." ”
After speaking, he groped out an electronic horn from the system and said to the workers: "I know what you are worried about? Don't worry, I can tell you in advance, for example, a skilled worker pays fifteen yuan a month for full attendance, which is enough for the basic living expenses of a family of five, and you may not understand the concept of fifteen yuan, I can also tell you that the best white rice in our store can buy fifty catties of rice for one dollar. Ten yuan can buy 500 catties of rice. ”
Zhu Changyuan just finished speaking, the people below were completely boiling, five hundred catties of rice, a family of five can't eat it in a month anyway, if you save some, it's enough for half a year's food, and this is only a month's salary, if it's a year.
After Zhu Changyuan left the scene, the workers communicated with each other and began to calculate their own little abacus.
Entering the office and sitting down, after a while, Gu Changzuo ran over in a hurry, saw Zhu Changyuan first saluted, and then bowed down and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the general is becoming more and more powerful." ”
Mighty fart.
No wonder this old boy can do business abroad, it turns out that he is also a master of observing words and flattery.
Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, sit down." Then he instructed his subordinates to pour a cup of tea for Gu Changzuo, looked at him and said, "Mr. Gu has been coming to my Sun Moon Island for a while, right?" ”
"Yes General." Gu Changzuo looked at Zhu Changyuan, shook his head and smiled, and said: "After living on the island for a few days, Gu someone is already happy, I didn't know that the general still has such a talent for governing the country, throughout the ages, how many Confucian sages and sages have longed for the world of Datong is in the general's fiefdom, if this matter spreads, I don't know how many people will come to visit." ”
"Hehehe." Zhu Changyuan laughed happily and said: "What Mr. Gu saw today is only the tip of the iceberg, and when my Sun Moon Island is completed, everyone will be a rich family, and there will be no poor people on the island." ”
"Moreover, I keep it, starting from today, if Mr. Gu comes to buy goods often in the future, he will definitely be able to witness the changes and development of my Sun Moon Island every time."
"Then the old man will wait and see." Gu Changzuo finished smiling and said, "It's just that there is one thing that is quite inconvenient. As he spoke, he took out a folded white paper from his trouser pocket, unfolded it to Zhu Changyuan, smiled bitterly, and said: "The old man can't live on the island for more than three days, so he must be driven to the sea by the law enforcement team on the island every three days, and then come back and reapply for a permit, which is quite troublesome!" ”
Zhu Changyuan looked at the three big characters "Temporary Residence Permit" written on the white paper, laughed, and said: "The rules on the island are like this, and there is no exception. As he spoke, he took out a white paper from his coat pocket and handed it to Gu Changzuo and said, "Sir, look at me." ”
Gu Changzuo took it and unfolded it, it was a household registration certificate, and he was taken aback and said, "With the general's status in the Divine Island, do you still need this?" ”。
"Yes, since it is a regulation, there is no exception, and the household registration certificate will also be required." After speaking, he smiled again and said: "The legal affairs on the island are not yet complete, and when Mr. comes next time, our immigration policy is introduced, and we can accept Mr. to enter the island for a long-term stay according to the conditions, and then I will personally give Mr. you as a guarantor." ”
"Good!" Gu Changzuo smiled.
It's just an indifferent greeting at the beginning, and the main thing is later.
Gu Changzuo took a sip of tea, then frowned and said, "Sun Moon Island is lonely overseas, who would have thought that it would be a paradise on earth, a paradise?" This trip to the island is really worthy of this life. ”
"In the general's warehouse and shop, the old man saw and heard something unprecedented." Gu Changzuo sighed a lot, and he was naturally very curious about where these things came from, but he was an old fox who had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, so he naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Moreover, hearing and witnessing all kinds of miracles about Zhu Changyuan told by the people on the island also made him have a trace of suspicion, and said secretly: Is this Zhu Changyuan really a god descending from heaven?
Although he didn't believe it, once this thought appeared, it grew like spring grass.
"For example, that hot water bottle in the General's store, it's just, it's incredible." Gu Changzuo picked up the teacup in his hand, pointed to the tea inside, and said: "The old man once tried it himself, and poured boiling water into it for a day and a night, and its heat loss was only one-twelfth of a tenth, which was simply amazing." ”
"And that bike, although it is not very useful, but if it can enter the market, it will definitely cause rich people from all over the world to rush to buy it."
When Gu Changzuo said this, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, and said secretly: This appetizer is finally here. (To be continued.) )
