I want to warn her when I go back, now I can do it lightly, now people can't die!

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Xuan said his meaning directly, and in the face of his eldest brother's request, Wei Pengyun didn't say a word, and waved his big hand: "You can pick the rest of the people in the guard, and I don't care if you pull them all over!" ”

In fact, Wei Pengyun really has the confidence to say this, the last 1,000 people, after Wang Xuan provided food and shelter, no one gave two taels of silver every year, and he Wei Pengyun had to take 20% of the money in the middle!

If you look at the per capita output, this is more than double the previous farming or odd jobs, even if he delays farming in order to send someone to Wang Xuan, he is not afraid, and the income will only be higher!

Besides, some time ago, half of his warships have been refitted, and now they are out to sea, according to his estimates, I dare not say that I dare not say that I can earn his income in the previous half a year by going back and forth, if it is a year, the fleet alone can earn more income in a year than in the previous four years!

Now he is a beauty in the house, with silver in his hands, and his life has come to this point, what more can he ask for!

Wang Xuan didn't care what he thought, as long as someone got it!

This time, he took away more than 5,000 people over there, basically more than half of the people who had labor force let him pull away, and the rest were either farming or had already gone to sea, or they were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Among the more than 5,000 people, there are also some women in the prime of life.

In fact, although the Ming Dynasty etiquette was very harsh, it was mostly for the wealthy, the boss's surname was good to be able to eat enough, who cares so much, women have to work and farm, otherwise they will starve to death!

If you want to go out of the door, you have to be a rich lady, a poor person, and it has nothing to do with them.

Wang Xuan is going to put all these middle-aged women to work in the textile factory, and the others are divided into two parts, the cement factory and the construction engineering team.

Wang Xuan was going to build a large wharf, a shipyard, a large number of houses and warehouses, and a cement road connecting the official road on the land by the sea, all of which required a large number of people.

In addition, the steel plant also needs to start construction, and now Fujian's iron production is not enough for Wang Xuan's expenses, but fortunately, in the Caribbean world, he has presided over the establishment of the primary industrial system, and these things are well understood!

For this reason, he also needs to visit the Qi Governor's Mansion, after all, salt and iron have always been the monopoly of the imperial court.

There was the 1,000 taels of silver last time, and this time Wang Xuan sent another 1,000 taels of 'white rice' The two negotiated, and the government-run iron-making workshop was contracted to Wang Xuan, and the silver handed over every year remained unchanged, as for how much Wang Xuan earned, it had nothing to do with the imperial court.

Of course, every year, Wang Xuan will give the prefect of Qi a thousand taels of 'white rice'.

After everything was done, Wang Xuan asked Wei Changlin to take people back to the overseas Giant Whale Gang station, this time to bring all the people back, and now is the time to use people.

After tossing and turning again for a month, more than 5,000 people on the island came to Fuzhou Mansion one after another.

Among the more than 5,000 people, there are only about 3,000 strong laborers, and the rest are old and weak.

Even so, Wang Xuan has more than 8,000 workers in his hands.

This seems like a lot, in fact, with the industrial technology of this era, whether it is a cement plant or iron and steel making, a large number of people are needed, not to mention the construction of docks and so on, Wang Xuan still feels that there are not enough manpower!

With more than 100,000 pieces of silver in his hand, Wang Xuan is full of confidence!

From Fuzhou Prefecture including the following counties, plus Funing Prefecture, Wang Xuan began to arrange large-scale recruitment of workers!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people had become tenants of the landlord's family, and they had already lost their own land, so Wang Xuan's goal was on these people.

The money given by Wang Xuan is enough, and the salary of a strong laborer can support the old and the young, if a woman can also come out to do something, life is much stronger than being a tenant, after all, this is more secure.

In case of a disaster, the rent paid to the landlord will not be enough to eat.

Coupled with the guarantee of people from fellow villagers, for a while, Wang Xuan recruited no less than 3,000 households.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Whether it is limestone ore or clay ore or iron ore, most of these minerals in Fujian are surface mines, Wang Xuan changed the mining method of manpower in the past, mainly using gunpowder blasting and manpower transportation, which greatly improved efficiency.

During this time, the eyes of the entire Fuzhou Mansion were on Wang Xuan.

Everyone can see how many people Wang Xuan recruited, and the silver is spent like flowing water every day, and the problem of eating these more than 20,000 people alone makes several families in the grain business in Fuzhou Mansion smile.

The daily consumption of food is 10,000 catties, and this is still when the islanders before the Giant Whale Gang went out to sea to fish and provided a lot of meat, otherwise, heavy physical labor consumes more food!

The increase in consumption after the arrival of more than 20,000 people made Fuzhou Mansion lively, and of course, even Wang Xuan's prestige in Fuzhou Mansion has begun to radiate to the whole of Fujian with the spread of merchants.

Wang Xuan, who discovered this problem, immediately began to give orders to Baihuamen, adding fuel to the fire, and improving his reputation in the whole Fuzhou, many times, fame and money and power can be equated!

During this time, Wang Xuan felt that he was going crazy, after all, it was the initial stage of his industry, and he had to make decisions about big and small things.

With the return of Wei Pengyun's first fleet, the textile factory began to run, for the 'brother-in-law', Wang Xuan directly cashed out the bill, and at the same time said that he would continue to increase the volume, and after the budget, the carrying capacity of Wei Pengyun's fleet alone could not meet the consumption of the textile factory.

For this reason, Wang Xuan directly communicated with several wealthy families in the city.

These wealthy families are basically involved in some shipping, and Wang Xuan has no problem finding them if he has needs.

Moreover, with the operation of mechanization, a large number of cloth began to hit the local market on a large scale at relatively low prices, which made another Yu family in Fuzhou's cloth business face a bankruptcy crisis.

……

Yu's house, lobby.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and several principals in the room looked at each other, what should I do?

Not to mention the large amount of goods backlogged in the warehouse, the price of the Wang family's cloth alone is cheaper than their purchase, and this business can't be done at all!

"I said a long time ago, don't provoke the Wang family, now it's okay!"

"Fart, you also agreed to it at the beginning, don't talk about this, even if there is no such thing, the cost of people's output is low!"

"Bang!" The head of the Yu family on the throne slapped the table hard, "Let you come, not let you quarrel." ”
