Chapter 224: The Empress (Part II)

Song Xiaoniang jumped into the distance at once. Song Jiuha smiled, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

Yuping said: "Jiulang, you can give them the key, like the lady of the Song family, she can only stay in the capital for a while, and the theater is open, and she will return to Huazhou early." ”

Song Jiu handed over the key to Pan Li'er, otherwise the quarrel would be unpeaceful, and a group of women rushed to Hezhou. The house was quiet for a while, and Yuping said, "Why don't we go to the eldest sister's house and sit down." ”

"Let's sit on the side of the fifth sister and the seventh sister, the eldest sister is in the Hezhou store."

Yuping packed up the gifts, and Song Jiu suddenly asked, "Ping'er, how much dowry have you prepared?" ”

There are some special people in Hezhou who are paid relatively well, such as those top chefs, some craftsmen, various stewards and supervisors, a very small number of female workers with special and superb skills, and some other important members, generally with a monthly salary of not less than 50 yuan, and the highest one includes a reward of nearly 100 yuan. There is no doubt that Yuping has a top-notch salary, and no one has any doubt about it, not only in Hezhou, but also in other parts of the capital. It can only be said that Song Jiu paid a high salary in terms of craftsmen, including female workers, and craftsmen in other places generally do not reach this kind of salary, even if they are top craftsmen.

When Song Jiu raised the deed shares, Yuping sold some jewelry, and at that time, the money was very tight, and one more principal gave one more hope to start work as soon as possible. So much so that she only had a few pieces of jewelry with her that she couldn't bear to go. The more than 2,000 yuan obtained from selling jewelry with these stools were put together in the deed shares. There are also some big households on both sides of the river, but they don't put much, hundreds of them, dozens of them. When it comes to ordinary people, most of them even have only a few taels of money. But they scraped together more than 38,000 yuan.

Cui'er complained about Song Jiu.

In fact, Song Jiu had long known the Dao. But it has not been said.

Now that she has made a profit, Cui'er will never complain again. Li's mother still has a salary on her side. It's not low, so the mother and son combined. It is impossible to do this like the Pan family, not to mention Yuping, and there are few families in the entire capital who dare to marry like this. I don't dare to ask for three media and six certificates. But you can be lively at home, such as what Song Jiu said about letting the people of Lianghe be their mother's family and holding a concubine ceremony in Shundian. Another example is that Yuping can use the money in her hand to set up some furniture and curtains, and arrange the cave room beautifully.

It's not as good as the Pan family, but if thousands of dollars are smashed in a room, this room will become extremely extravagant and gorgeous. Seeing that they were preparing in secret, Song Jiuyu was a beautiful thing. It was also a kind of compensation, and I spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy all kinds of beautiful jade gemstones and pearl jewelry, from hairpins, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Except for the name, the rest of the jade apples have everything.

There are also Yanai who said Jiulang, you are too extravagant, and the concubine is also done in Shundian.

Song Jiu only replied, take a look at the attitude of those servants in Hebei, and then look at the attitude of the servants in Hezhou?

It's a meal. However, the villagers of Lianghe will be grateful in their hearts, and they will work hard and conscientiously, improve their efficiency, and have high returns. The more salaries and incentives they will be paid, and the more motivated they will be. The more the hearts of the people on the other side of the river are shaken, the more they cannot be treated. One is a virtuous circle, and the other is a vicious circle. But it's actually a compensation for Yuping.

Although it is a concubine. There are also three media and six certificates missing, but the money will not be spent less. At least the capital doesn't know thousands or tens of thousands of relatives every year, and there will not be a hundred families who can exceed the cost of this concubine. Then there will be balance in Apple's heart. It can be regarded as a dowry.

Yuping said angrily: "The slave family won't tell you." ”

The two first came to the fifth sister's house and rented a house, but as soon as the new house was built, they didn't have to rent it again. Then I went to the seventh sister's house and sat down, and came back together. As the sky was getting dark, Pan Li'er came back with a group of girlfriends carrying a big bag and a small bag, and complained when she entered the door: "Those who hook up tickets are so black, a red ticket sells for 500 yuan, Jiulang, you take care of them." ”

"Five hundred wen?"

"Yes, some people still shouted for 600 wen." These little ladies were pounding with excitement.

"It's too dark-hearted," Song Jiu walked around, he had already thought of a way to do it, he couldn't limit the purchase anymore, and then restricted the purchase, could some big families send six or seven servants to buy tickets? He even set up a three-tiered fence and sent several servants to patrol to prevent ticket sellers from forcibly cutting into the queue. There is also a way, which is to increase the price and scare the tourists away by half, so that the tickets will not be so tight. But Song Jiu didn't want this method, unless the price of goods doubled after the Song Dynasty, he planned to increase some fares. But there is no way to fall down like this, after thinking for a while, he called Tsing Yi over, drew a drawing, and asked him to find Boss Hu and invite some villagers to go to Hezhou immediately.

These little ladies don't understand yet.

Song Jiu explained, that is, to extend the time for ticket sellers to buy tickets. If the family gets up early to buy a ticket, it is okay to go in directly after buying the ticket, or it is okay to come out, but slowly come out along a railing, go around to the front of the east fruit shop and then turn back, but it is only a single road, and the passage is still relatively narrow. Not only ticket sellers, but also some large families have to send people to buy tickets first. There are many people, the ticket seller can't run if he wants to run, come and go, nearly two miles away, the more holidays will go slower, if the people who are waiting for the main family to come are not in a hurry, you can even take a look at the artist performance in the square, but the ticket seller is sad, after coming out is the square, and you have to run to the east to queue up. At least half an hour has passed. If a man climbs the railing, the servant comes forward and fines him for breaking the railing. Then one person could have bought three or four tickets, but now there are only two tickets.

It is equivalent to a purchase limit.

It will also be speculated, but the tickets cannot be in the hands of ticket sellers, so the more speculation will be made, the higher the price. The higher the price, the more and more ticket sellers, and at the end half of the tickets can be controlled by ticket sellers, then there may be sky-high tickets with consistent money.

In the future, whether it is a theater or an arena, there will inevitably continue to be ticket sellers, and it is impossible to completely eliminate that.

The little lady of the Han family said: "Fortunately, there is no hooker." ”

"What hookman?" Song Jiu made her a little confused.

"It's the people who line up to buy clothes, Jiulang, why don't you let Li'er take us to the clothing workshop to buy them." The little lady of the Han family had a light in her eyes, how good it is, first, you don't have to queue, and second, it's cheap, you can buy whatever you want.

"You go home and ask your brother. Can you go in. Song Jiu couldn't help but be happy. In the fourth year of junior high school, all the students came back together. But not in class, but to do an important thing. That's measurement. Measure all the residential areas in the river, and even measure once to avoid errors.

It took several days to measure them one by one, and Song Jiu posted the plan map of the river, and at the same time there were some text descriptions below. The first is the subsidy, which is calculated based on the number of days of construction in Hezhou, including the infrastructure construction of several industries and workshops at Baiyuqiao Wharf, and is not counted after work. Seven hundred days is the first grade, and it has only been more than three years since the flat ground. There is not one, but after the construction this year, there may be more than a dozen households, and this family will subsidize 40 yuan and silk. The second level is 500 to 700 days, and there are very few, almost few households, but there will be two or three hundred households this year, and it is nothing more than that, which will subsidize thirty yuan. The third grade is quite a bit. 300 to 500 days, 20 yuan subsidy. There are more people in the last grade, and from 100 to 300 days, they will be subsidized for ten yuan. Fairer. Some people have done it for dozens of days, but there is still a year to go, and they can make up a hundred days no matter how they make it.

Each of them is responsible for the rest of the money.

Song Jiu was also responsible for the construction of three flying bridges. Build a cart at the top of the river island, with earth hills and water storage tanks. Including the cost of the pipeline, Song Jiu is responsible for it. That is, in the future, every household will not have to get up every morning to empty the toilet.

On this dirt mountain, a tower and a temple were also built. If you don't build a temple, the people will continue to burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva everywhere, so it's better to build one yourself and invite the real monks to come over. The monk is not of good character, so let him get out of here at any time. Lay it out a little more and make it a small scenic area. The money is still paid by Song Jiu.

In addition, the river is low-lying, and it cannot be as high as the river bank, but it must be filled up a little. The water was also dredged, and the mud had to be taken from outside the city, and the manpower was done by the people in the river themselves, but they had to ask a boat to transport the mud, and Song Jiu paid for this money. But the cost won't be too high.

There is also an expense, there is still a lot of wasteland in the river, so there is no need to pay for it, but there are two or three hundred acres of vegetable gardens, and one acre is worth twenty yuan for the loss of money. It is not a commercial area, and after reconstruction, it is still not a commercial area, but a residential area, and the commercial value is not large. The compensation for the land price of 20 yuan per mu is not low.

This is from Hezhou, and the Hebei side is more difficult to do, with many shops and more large households. If you want to unify the planning, not only can you not have this money, but you can't deal with the contradictions. But Song Jiu still took care of it, for each coolie, they wanted to build a house, and it was still this subsidy treatment. But if there is no cylinder car, there will be no unified planning. It can only be said that with the subsidy, coupled with the unified use of materials in the future, the cost of building a house will be reduced by half, and each coolie can build a new house.

Of course, if a miracle happens, all the big families in Hebei will make an agreement together and agree to let Song Jiu plan and arrange, and Song Jiu will not mind sending someone to plan Hebei. But this possibility is almost non-existent.

Then there are all kinds of restrictions, although there is wasteland, there are also vegetable gardens, but there are many outsiders in the river, they either rent a house, or live on a small grass hut, once planned, together with a house, the area is still very tight. Therefore, the floor area is limited according to the number of households. Although the river is poor, there are still a few families with better conditions, such as the Liu family. There are also nearly 100 households that are also on the list, including Song Jiu, whose house area must have exceeded the regulations. It doesn't matter, based on this area, but it can't be increased. This is the main purpose of the students' measurements the other day.

And then the next thing is mediation, or these 100 or so households.

More than ninety percent of the people are more welcome to this plan, the well-shaped wide street, and then the alleys, one south and one north two rows of houses, the middle of the house is vacant land, a family left a small garden, although the area is not large, but there is well water, you can also carry flowers and vegetables, wash rice, cook and wash clothes. However, not all of the more than 100 families like it. Some people's houses are not bad, and this plan may mean that half of the houses must be demolished and rebuilt, which will definitely cause losses. Some people may be superstitious, thinking that moving the house is not good for the family's luck, or so on.

There are two ways to deal with it, one is coercive, it is okay not to agree, the mud is transported, all around it is being heightened, and his house is not moved, but the surrounding houses are built, and his house is also the bottom of the well. The second way is to negotiate with each other and be humble, and try to solve it calmly. If the negotiation has not been reached after a year, he has to make his house a house at the bottom of a well.

In this way, Song Jiu will spend a lot of money, but it will be within Song Jiu's acceptable range.

And this subsidy is needed. After another year of hard work, most families gradually did not lose the money for the new house. But for various reasons, a few people still can't slow down. But it wasn't Song Jiu who built the house. He costs everything, manpower costs, materials cost even more. For example, the houses that Song Jiu built for vegetable farmers in the workshop, two large rooms and four small rooms, cost nearly 100 yuan. However, if the manpower money is saved, and the material cost is saved, sixty or seventy yuan is enough to build a beautiful house like a vegetable farmer. A year of hard work and tiredness, with dozens of dollars left, I got this support from Song Jiu. Borrow a little more, and build the house in the same way. Even all outsiders. Unless the outsiders who just moved in this year, it is not within the scope of Song Jiu's subsidy. This is also the reason why Song Jiu deliberately delayed for a year, at least a quarter of the family had to be tired for a year.

Song Jiu was subsidizing, and Zhao Chengzong and they got a batch of labor.

After the autumn of last year, there was a drought in Shaanxi and Huaihuai and other prefectures and counties, and it doesn't matter after the autumn, spring is coming, and the spring famine is also coming. Although the imperial court distributed grain for disaster relief, some people began to flee the famine. Huaizhou, Shaanzhou is not very far from the capital. When Zhao Chengzong heard this, he thought of what Song Jiu said last year, and sent a steward to find these victims and promised to build houses for them. He was paid a penny a month, and then signed a long-term contract with the victims, some for 10 years.

Song Jiu said that a family of people raised five foil silkworms. The tired silk into ordinary silk is only three times money. But that's different in nature, rural. Self-cultivation and self-weaving, houses can cut down trees to make beams and rafters. There are very few things that really need to be spent on purchases. But when you enter the city, you have to buy everything, and if the husband and wife don't work, they can't even maintain food and clothing.

The victims don't understand, they feel quite a lot, so they come one by one, and they do build houses, the countryside is thatched houses, here are still thatched houses, the cost is low, but the victims still don't understand, the houses across the river are so gorgeous, they are lived by rich people, we can't compare. Do the work one by one. Before and after, Zhao Chengzong got more than 800 households. In the end, Zhao Kuangyin said very unhappily: "Do you want to let the cultivated land in Zhuzhou be barren?" ”

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid that the cultivated land in Zhuzhou will be barren, and the country's grain is not so tight, especially last year, when Zhancheng rice was further promoted. Guan Jian, father and son, became more and more disagreeable. Not only Zhao Chengzong, but also Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu has made a lot of money in the timber business over the years, so he built mansions. But there are all houses near his house, and he is not in such a good mood to negotiate one by one, give me some money, and you will move out for me at a later date, and if you don't move, you have to move. Some people did not move, so they sent servants to forcibly dismantle it. Who dares to offend him.

Zhao Chengzong's side is more complicated, and even some of the things that happened are worse than Zhao Pu's forced demolition. These don't seem to be bad, but they are actually bad, one is cheating, and the other is that the salary is too low. Although the victims suffered, they can still have a harvest after they survive. Although the countryside is hard, the bitter is the three seasons, there are still idle times, and there are winter idle times, once the work, it seems that Zhao Chengzong in Hebei where the work is still heavier, a tired is a year. What can you do in the capital with a wisp of money?

Pan Mei has not left yet, she has come to the capital, and she will not leave the capital until the Spring Festival (Zhao Kuangyin's birthday) on February 26 and go to Tanzhou again. Song Jiu often took Pan Li'er to Pan's house, and Pan Mei also occasionally came to Song's house to have a look.

Song Jiu said about this: "Zhangren, I'm talking about the side household, and the disaster victims can't do this." Why the side household line, the first side household life suffering, is unimaginable. And when I came back from Bashu, I repeatedly talked about this side household problem, the unkindness of some big households, if Zhao Yanei has the courage to bring the side households to the capital, not only will they be temporarily rescued from the dire situation, but also the ministers of the court and the central government will not be disgusted. The second is the treatment, the life of the side households is dark, even if they are given a small straw hut to live in, and let them get a salary of a penny, they are satisfied. But the victims are not, the disaster is temporary, and they still have homes in their hometowns after they have passed. Can such a low salary work? Look, I'm kind, they only listened to the small half and gave up the most of the half. ”

Pan Mei was speechless.

Zhao Kuangyin had warned, and Zhao Chengzong stopped, but the labor in his hands was enough. There are many practical problems, and if these people are convinced and sober up, they will have complaints, and maybe they will run away one after another. And with the river island as the center, it has become a place to play, such a large grass shed, it looks really beautiful? Once the Henan River is opened, many people will not pass through Hebei at all. But now the business sense is not so developed, no one can see that Song Jiu is a Song person, and he "can't see it".

Zhao Chengzong stopped, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say much, the palace is also under construction, camp in the interior, and did not build any luxury palace, that is, the interior has not been repaired for several years, repair a repair, make up a supplement, and Zhao Kuangyin's aesthetic views are very strange, he does not like winding paths and secluded, but likes to go straight, all the roads in the palace are straight, and then sit on the dormitory, order the hole to open the doors, unobstructed, Zhao Kuangyin looked very comfortable, and said to the left and right: "This is like my heart, there are few evil songs, everyone sees it." ”

In fact, he was originally a good man, but Chai Rongshi cultivated very delicately, so that he could get through and become a rough man......

He said that if it looks good, it looks good, who dares to say that it is not good-looking, try it!

During the Spring Festival, the ministers congratulated Long Live the Holy Birthday, including the female dependents also entered the inner palace, and they were entertained by the female palace. The generals talked heart-to-heart, Wenchen wrote poems as endowments, and it was Song Jiu's turn, Song Jiu waved his hand and said, "I don't know where to throw the poetry away." ”

Everyone laughed, Song Jiu is still a Wenchen, but the text is not a poem of scripture and righteousness, but a study of physical character. I didn't embarrass him, and continued to write. At the beginning of the banquet, Zhao Kuangyin was congratulated by the ministers, and he was also ordered to be congratulated by the women, and entered the other side with a wine glass. But soon after he came out, he called Song Hao aside and muttered a few words. Everyone didn't think about it, but only two days later, an edict suddenly came from the palace, and the daughter of Song Wei was the queen. Song Jiugang was eating at home, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and asked Pan Li'er: "How many daughters does the Song family have?" ”

"Official, he has two daughters, what's wrong?"

"Two daughters ......" It may not be the little lady of the Song family who he rubbed oil, but Pan Li'er said again: "She is the queen, and we can't date again in the future." ”

Song Jiu's head was sweating, and the Song family didn't care how many daughters they had, but only that one daughter was close to Pan Li'er! In case this little lady leaks her mouth when she is in bed with Zhao Kuangyin, and that little Song Jiu still touches my chest in the cave, the consequences will be unimaginable! (To be continued......)
