Chapter 49 Attracting Talents with Heavy Profits

Looking at the daughter-in-law who gathered together, King Xu and his wife who came to live on the island also felt very happy. Now that the two daughters-in-law have the blood of the Zhao family in their stomachs, they feel very happy. But Princess Xu still let the other girls work hard.

Don't miss the tea served by the new daughters-in-law, Xu Wang Zhao Hao also felt that his second son was really powerful, and he married nine ladies at once. Even if he is a father-in-law, he feels that his stomach is a little swollen after drinking nine cups of tea.

Fortunately, you don't have to drink all of these teas. Otherwise, Zhao Hao felt that after drinking morning tea, he hardly had to eat breakfast. Duan Zhengchun and others seemed relatively relaxed.

Either way, this happy event for the whole city is over. Cho Hyo-seok went into the busy work again, and the craftsmen, who had only rested for three days, began to devote themselves to the construction of another place.

As the number of immigrants on the side of the plain new city has begun to exceed 10,000, Zhao Xiaoxi also decided to build a small town on the highlands of the plain. The management yamen will also be moved into it for management.

It's just that this group of craftsmen who built the city at the beginning, and a group of people rushed to Qiongzhou by boat and began to build the palace and wharf in Qiongzhou. When the palace is completed, Zhao Xiaoxi will officially move there to live.

Now the cement produced on the island, in addition to the sale, Zhao Xiaoxi also ordered that some major roads are all built with cement. It is convenient for those immigrants to travel to and from New South City in the future.

At the same time, some shrewd merchants also saw that the construction of such transportation arteries would help them to do business with immigrants. It's just that this kind of business can only be done with old immigrants for the time being. Newcomers, for the time being, do not have much savings.

As Cho Hyo-seok threw himself into the process of perfecting the plan, a construction team was stationed in each migrant village. In the village where they lived, they looked for a better location and began to build houses.

Quite a few curious villagers. Come to the construction team and ask. However, they learned that these construction teams were building houses with the intention of building a school in their village. As soon as this news came out, the immigrants also thought it was very incredible.

In the eyes of many immigrants, it is already a luxury for them to have their own land here. Hear it now. In the future, their children will be able to read and write for free, and the immigrants are naturally very excited.

But when they were excited, the household department responsible for handling the matter found Zhao Xiaoxi again. Said helplessly: "Lord Wang, according to our academy construction plan, at least nearly a thousand talents are needed. But right now, the talents don't want to come over at all! ”

In the face of the helplessness of the head of the household department, Zhao Xiaoxi is also aware of this kind of problem. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lord Yan." The Mr. Xuetang we recruit is not limited to scholars at the first level of Xiucai. Ordinary old children can also be hired as objects.

If it weren't for the lack of time, the king wouldn't have wanted to invite them over at all. So be it! I asked the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with your actions, and let those maritime merchants advertise. As long as you are hired, you are willing to be a scholar of Mr. Xuetang, and the king will be treated preferentially.

In addition to raising the bride price to ten taels of silver per month, you can also let the maritime merchants spread the word. As long as there are talented people. Regardless of his origin, this king will even be able to do so in the future. Anyone they are officials of the new city.

They refused to come, just because they felt that teaching and educating people was a bit overkill. But in the eyes of this king, if they can't even teach well, even if they apply for the imperial examination in the future, they will be useless people. Lord Yan. What do you think of this? ”

Yan Lu is also a scholar, so he naturally knows that reading is the patent of the rich. Most of the ordinary scholars are rushing to the imperial examination. As long as it can be nominated on the gold list, it means that the carp jumps the dragon gate and has the opportunity to glorify his ancestors.

can really be admitted to the Jinshi scholars. How many are there in these years? Many people are old for a year, and they only have the fame of showing talents. If you want to be an official, it is not an easy thing in the Great Song Dynasty.

If Zhao Xiaoxi is really willing, let these scholars who are unwilling to fail enter the official career and become officials without going through the imperial examination. I believe that this temptation should be very attractive to some old talents.

Coupled with the monthly allowance of ten taels of silver, Yan Lu felt that the poor scholar who could really not bend his waist for five buckets of rice was afraid that he would not be able to refuse this temptation. After all, the income of ten taels of silver in one month is enough for him to support his family.

Yan Lu, who was advised by Zhao Xiaoxi, soon found Tian Youfu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who often dealt with businessmen. Knowing that this was Zhao Xiaoxi's suggestion, Tian Youfu also sighed that this prince was really too generous.

In the conversation with Yan Lu, Tian Youfu heard a news and said with some puzzlement: "Brother Yan, you asked people to find Mr., are they all looking for him in the south of the Yangtze River?" The scholars in the land south of the Yangtze River are afraid that they will not be able to look down on this bit of silver.

If you want to find a scholar who is willing to work, I suggest that Brother Yan can go to the north to have a look. Compared with the scholars in the south, most of the scholars in the north are bitter and cold. If there were such conditions, they would definitely not refuse. ”

Hearing this, Yan Lu smiled a little bitterly and said, "Brother Tian, do you think I haven't thought about it?" It's just that you should know that the prince hires a large number of scholars like Xiucai, which will make people feel that he is robbing people with today's saints!

If you go to the north to recruit people, you will definitely not be able to hide it from the imperial court. When the court investigates it, I'm afraid that the prince will not be able to explain to the court! And there are many scholars in the south, recruiting a group of talents to come, I believe it will not attract attention! ”

Regarding Yan Lu's worries, Tian Youfu whispered: "Brother Yan, do you think our prince will be afraid of the court's reprimand now?" As subordinates, we only need to complete the tasks assigned by the prince, and we don't have to worry too much about the rest.

Right now, we're moving people from the north and south, and you don't think the court really knows. But when have you ever seen that the prince was worried about the references of those officials in the imperial court? Don't worry, this is a place far away from the Emperor of the Mountain! ”

Looking at Tian Youfu's worried and superfluous expression, Yan Lu also felt that what the other party said seemed to have some truth. But he still said: "Brother Tian, what you said is good. But more is better than less, this matter of looking for Mr. will be more annoying to you! ”

In this regard, Tian Youfu said with a smile: "Don't worry, now these businessmen who do business on the island can't wait for me to owe them favors?" I believe that recruiting a group of scholars is not a problem at all.

If the prince is really willing, give these unsuccessful talents a chance to be promoted to the Jiupin County Order. I don't think that show would have been able to resist this temptation. The temptation of fame and fortune is not many of the talents that can be resisted! ”

This is true at all, Tian Youfu, who is also the business director of New South City. Recently, he is undoubtedly the most beautiful person, those Fanbang merchants and Great Song Dynasty merchants, all hoping to get good things from him.

Everyone knows that the amount of glass products produced in New South City is not much. If you want to get the goods one step ahead, you must be the business director. Otherwise, the deadline for getting the goods will be longer than others.

Although it is only a matter of time, businessmen know what it means to be scarce. This glass product, despite the high price. But as long as it is transported inland, the price can increase exponentially.

Shipped to nomadic countries such as Tibet and Liao, the price can be doubled. Doing business is about being quick and fast, and whoever can get the first batch of goods means that whoever can make a lot of money one step ahead of others.

It is exactly what Tian Youfu said that what these businessmen are short of is not money, but this kind of commodity unique to Xinnancheng. If you want to buy goods, you must not only have money, but also have relationships. Whoever makes Tian Youfu comfortable, then he can get the goods one step ahead of others.

Unfortunately, in the past, as long as you stuffed money, you could buy off businessmen like Tian Youfu who were in charge of officials. Suddenly found that this trick didn't seem to work in New South City, on the contrary, it would have the opposite effect.

In Cho Hyo-seok's words, if he uses the rights he has given him to embezzle and take bribes. Then he will let this official know what it means to be greedy for money and spend money without life. Even businessmen who pay bribes will be disqualified from acting as an agent.

In short, here in New South City, everything must be in accordance with the rules promulgated by Cho Hyo-seok. But everyone knows that Tian Youfu, who controls the right to ship. Although he does not accept money, he will accept some favors.

This means that who made Tian Youfu happy. Next time, he will get the quantity of goods quickly, and he will definitely be more and faster than others. With such benefits, it is natural that businessmen can make money just around the corner.

What's more, according to the rules set by Zhao Xiaoxi, these glass products. New South City does not sell, only wholesalers. As for how much the merchants sell these goods for, it is up to the merchants to decide.

got so many benefits, do New South City some favors. Presumably, as long as the merchants are not stupid, they will do their best to help. For this reason, Zhao Xiaoxi's method of making money by seeking the near and far is also very worthwhile in the eyes of everyone.

For the cost of this glass product, Zhao Xiaoxi is very clear that in addition to labor costs, raw materials almost do not cost anything. Being a wholesaler is itself profitable, and it is quickly too greedy!

Nowadays, most of the businessmen who dare to come overseas to do business have a certain net worth background. After taking the benefits of Xinnancheng, these businessmen naturally want to thank Zhao Xiaoxi for his goodness. This kind of business of giving up money to earn people's hearts is not a loss in Zhao Xiaoxi's view.

And Zhao Xiaoxi's prediction was good, as Tian Youfu summoned the maritime merchants in the Great Song Dynasty and announced the news. The businessmen quickly realized that this was a very good opportunity to make the mark.

According to their understanding, there are certain vacancies among the officials of the six ministries in New South City, and many of them even hold multiple positions. This means that those talents who are not on the list, if they can be appreciated by Zhao Xiaoxi, they may not be hopeless to become officials!

In contrast to other cities in the interior, the appointment of officials required the appointment of officials from the imperial court. At the moment, everything on Ryukyu Island is Zhao Hyo-seok's final say. If you have the truth, you don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to be an official.

Some families also have businessmen who have failed to make the list, and they also think that it is better to come here to try it because they go to the imperial examination every year. Although these ten taels of silver are not very attractive. But this is also an opportunity to deepen the relationship with Cho Hyo-seok! (To be continued......)
