Chapter 7: Hexi became famous overnight
Fang Xuanling dared to go, but it was not a brainless move. He and Li Chengzong have also been getting along for a while. Li Chengzong seems to be a person who does not eat at all, but he is not indiscriminate and will take advantage of any advantage.
Sure enough, there was no storm and no rage, Li Chengzong not only agreed, but also agreed.
Li Chengzong instructed: "All fifty percent of this king's shares, one percent will be given to those who are absent from work, don't let others say that this king is an insatiable miser." In addition, take out an extra 10% as the money for their medical treatment, and we must make this clear and let them be grateful to Dade. ”
It's not purely for show, to brush up the reputation of King Jin.
Li Chengzong has some understanding of the so-called occupational diseases, and if he has been engaged in one job for a long time, he is prone to some specific diseases. For example, this mining, facing the dust every day, this pneumoconiosis can't be avoided. It is true that it depends on fate, and if you have a good life, you may not be able to get this disease, but it is a matter of time that there are only a few people with a good life in this world. Li Chengzong is not a merciful god who saves suffering, but he is in a compassionate heart that has not been corroded.
Fang Xuanling walked out of the palace, and he admired his intelligence a little, so he said that it was okay!
Wang Kui never dreamed that King Jin would cheapen these people so generously.
When six or seven hundred workers heard the news, they didn't need Fang Xuanling to deliberately publicize it, and the tall image of King Jin was naturally established. Here, King Jin is better than the name of any immortal.
Everyone has hope, and the monthly salary is more than that of the previous year's croppers, and the yield is naturally needless to say. But the scale of this mining is getting bigger and bigger, and the problem of the number of people is leaking out again.
It's not impossible to recruit people, but Dunhuang County is really a place with a majority of foreign population, so it's better not to come after two days of leaving. Besides, it is not reassuring to use foreigners, isn't it, isn't there something to say that if it is not my race, its heart will be different! Wang Kui felt that he would rather not abuse and not recruit people who were not indiscriminate.
Fang Xuanling is more open-minded, he thinks that he can use whoever he can, and the two have some differences about this.
No, the two of them were waiting for Li Chengzong in the morning, asking King Jin to comment on it to see who was right.
Li Chengzong didn't say anything directly, but just asked, "How many people are still missing in the mine?"
"You have to have twice as many people as you do now." Wang Kui estimated.
"That's not too much. In this way, you give those workers a few days off, let them go home and publicize it, let them go to someone, and whoever recruits them will have to give them a guarantee, and if there is still a situation where they have escaped with entrainment, the person who recruited them will be punished together. Li Chengzong obviously supports the need not to use people who don't know the details, or to get some reliable knowledge, plus this kind of guarantee system is not easy to make new people mess up.
"Isn't it going to be a shutdown for the next few days?" Wang Kui is not very willing, if he does one less day, he will not be old and young!
Li Chengzong scolded: "Can you not be so short-sighted? You said you're not a big boss too. ”
was scolded in vain, and Fang Xuanling shook his head and snickered.
Logically speaking, this idea should be said to be good, and it is reasonable no matter how you look at it. But the subsequent reaction to this incident is unimaginable.
In a small village, the swarthy Zhao Qian began to show off when he returned home, and when he grabbed the baggage, he grabbed a lot of copper coins.
"See, it's been less than three months since I went to the gold mine, and we've earned back the money we gave to the baby to marry his daughter-in-law." Zhao Qian smiled at his daughter-in-law.
What are these people trying to do, isn't it just to have a few more babies, marry a daughter-in-law to the baby, and then have a few more babies.
Zhao Qian's wife looked straight and said, "Can you really make so much money in the mine?"
"Why don't you believe it? Tell you about it! At first, there were not so many, and there were some people who dared to escape with gold, but later they were arrested and their heads were gone. When Zhao Qian said this, his wife interjected again.
"How can you mine and kill your head? Let's not go!"
"You, didn't you say they were killed when they fled with gold. If you work hard, can you be killed? Honestly, I haven't said it yet!" Zhao Qian then exaggerated the righteousness of the King of Jin a hundred times and told his daughter-in-law, exaggerating so much that he said that Li Chengzong, the king of Jin, didn't want a penny, and gave it all to them.
After hearing this, his daughter-in-law couldn't help but have another thought, in addition to thanking King Jin with her own family.
The day has just dawned, Zhao Qian doesn't think about it, it's not easy to rest for two days when he is so tired every day. But his daughter-in-law ran out before dawn, and when she came home, she brought three young men and an old man.
"Uncle Yue, why are you here?" Zhao Qian dared to sleep, so he hurriedly got up.
The old man smiled and said, "I heard our daughter say that you are out of luck this time, and you have earned a lot of money and come back."
Zhao Qian pulled his head with one hand, and said immodestly: "That's much better than farming at home."
The old man then smiled and said, "Look at it, these are all your nephews." Didn't you say that I came back this time to recruit workers for the mine? Just look at it and take them away. ”
This makes Zhao Qian a little difficult, although he came back to recruit workers, but the manager made it clear that whoever got it would be responsible. If these three boys move some crooked thoughts, they will harm themselves.
Seeing that Zhao Qian was a little hesitant, his daughter-in-law immediately quit and cried on the side.
His father-in-law said in a deep voice: "Zhao Qian? I think when you married my daughter, what did you want? Old man, have I ever been difficult for you? Now that you are developed, don't you miss the old feelings at all? ”
Zhao Qian hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and told the words of the chief manager Wang Kui truthfully.
The old man immediately stood up and lectured the three young men: "You have all heard it, if anyone dares to do that shameless thing, don't say that the head of the mine can't let you go, even if you come back, I will have to kill you."
Uncle Yue said everything about this, and Zhao Qian could only admit it, and he took the three of them back to the mine so reluctantly. This is just one of them, similar scenes are everywhere for a while, as long as they go home, everyone has to show off their earnings, and show their faces in front of relatives and friends.
The trouble is here, I don't know if it's true that bad things can spread thousands of miles, but the news of making money has indeed spread more than thousands of miles.
The Dunhuang gold mine exploded everywhere in the Tang Dynasty for a while, and many people spread the rumors, and in the end, the original news was completely out of shape.
People said that they could make money in the mines, and then they went to Dunhuang to make money by doing anything, and in the end, it was even more outrageous to say that the four counties of Hexi were originally full of gold mines, and it was enough to eat for a lifetime if they went to dig a few times.
Rumors hurt people, and many people who have moved their minds will go to their homes regardless of them. There are even some local bosses and big bosses who rushed over with their people, but they were afraid that they would be late and would not be able to get the benefits.
In fact, it's the same to go early and late, and you can't get any benefit from it.
The four counties of Hexi became famous overnight, but it is an indisputable fact.
