Chapter 885: Xijing Mansion (Second Watch)

800, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the little dumb girl in Houfu!

Yan Yunge decided to change his name.

Of course, she is not changing her name, but she wants to change the name of the imperial city.

She didn't think the imperial city was good.

Moreover, since the capital is to be rebuilt, the imperial city is not qualified to continue to be the capital.

After thinking about it, it was necessary to choose a name worthy of the past identity of the imperial city, and it should be conducive to future development, and finally named it "Xijing Mansion".

One is that the imperial city is located to the west of the capital.

The second reason is that this city is also the "ancient capital of the Three Dynasties", which has gone through Sima Dou's Northern Qi, Xiao Chengye's Northern Wei, and the Northern Liang of the Liu family.

It is definitely a veritable ancient capital of the Three Dynasties, and it is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, only "Xijing Mansion" is worthy of the identity and status of this city.

Xiao Yat has no opinion at all.

The yamen also had no opinions, and even if they had opinions, they were suppressed.

So, half a month after Yan Yunge came to the imperial city, the gilded characters hanging on the city gate were officially renamed Xijing Mansion.

From now on, the people here will be the people of Xijingfu.

The capital city of Xijingfu, inside and outside the city, is a large construction site.

Roads are being built inside the city, and roads are being built outside the city.

Don't look at this city, which was once the ancient capital of the Three Dynasties, the roads in the city, except for a few main roads for nobles to pass, other roads are sparse.

The roads that were once paved with bluestone slabs were rolled over year after year, and sewage was raging.

The road surface, stepping on it, the sewage is, and it rushes directly to the knee socket, which can stink people to death.

That's it, it's not bad.

In some streets, the bluestone slabs that paved the road were pried away by someone in which year and month, leaving one soil pit after another on the road.

Year after year, the roads are muddy, sewage can't be discharged, and even country roads are not as good as the ones.

There are also a large number of streets, which have been paved with yellow mud since the day the city was built.

The sky was sunny and dusty and flying.

On a rainy day, one foot goes down to the other in the mud.

is even more devastating than the official road that has fallen into disrepair.

Yan Yunge inspected the city, waved his hand, repaired!

The yamen immediately moved, and the wealthy merchants followed suit.

Advance money to build roads, it seems that there is no money to be made.

But the wealthy businessmen didn't care at all.

Of course, they are not unsung heroes who do good deeds without leaving a name, they just know that building roads for Mrs. Yan will not make money, but Mrs. Yan will compensate them elsewhere.

For example, if you contract a road repair project for ten streets, you can get a share of the salt farm, or the qualification for a monopoly in the salt industry.

In the past, Yan Yunge only had a few counties, and the salt and sugar industries could make a lot of money.

It doesn't make sense, now you have half of the country but you can't make money.

The wealthy businessmen were full of confidence in Yan Yunge.

If the full confidence value is one hundred, the confidence value of the wealthy merchants in Yan Yunge Land is two hundred.

The project managed by her will definitely earn, and it will definitely earn.

There are already big businessmen with a keen sense of smell who have begun to buy a large number of houses in the city, which directly raised the housing prices in Xijing Mansion to a higher level.

Many small people are calculating the value of their houses, should they sell them and buy a new one?

It's lively inside the city, and even better outside the city.

Outside the city of Xijing Mansion, there is a large construction site.

Tens of thousands of coolies worked together to dredge ditches, dig roadbeds, lay and repair house foundations, repair water conservancy, and reclaim wasteland......

On the large construction site of tens of thousands of people, the number of workers is still increasing.

You see, at the gate of the warehouse, there are recruiting workers every day, and there are long queues every day.

The first batch of people who went to work, who had been paid for ten days, gave everyone an excellent example.

That is: fair wages, timely settlement, food and accommodation.

If you want to talk about the disadvantages, there are also them.

The work intensity is high, the working hours are long, and the management is strict.

What is not allowed to defecate anywhere, wash your hands before and after eating, drink water only boiled cold white water, do not drink cold water directly......

There are so many rules in the details of life.

There are even people who are deducted from their wages for a day because they don't line up for dinner, and they cut the queue at will, and they cry for a long time.

The lesson from the previous car, the salary is ten cents a day, and it is deducted because I don't line up......

The lesson is still in front of us, and no one really has the money to challenge the rules.

No matter how bad it is, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for work.

The recruitment office is lively day by day.

After the small people of the Northland walked to the construction site, finally some brave homeless people also mixed in with the team to enlist as coolies.

For this reason, there was almost a large-scale fight between the locals and the homeless.

Thanks to the timely arrival of the guard battalion to maintain order.

In the minds of the local people, the job opened by Mrs. Yan belongs to the locals alone, and the homeless people are not qualified.

Everyone is worried that if the displaced people apply, their wages will be depressed, leaving the locals without work.

After learning the inside story, the solution was simple.

Paste the requirements and benefits directly at the recruitment office.

Regardless of whether they are local people or displaced people, they are treated equally, and the wages remain the same.

And let the bookstores hold loudspeakers to publicize on the construction site, not to oppose the homeless.

If the displaced people have no work, cannot earn money, and cannot afford to eat, they will become chaotic people.

Right now, seeing that life is improving, no one wants to have chaos and destroy the good situation.

Wu Shouye went to the construction site to do the book office, and also took on the book office work by the way.

He chatted with his co-workers, "The government will definitely accept some displaced people to work on the construction site, and at most they will be separated and everyone will build different sections."

On weekdays, there is basically no chance to meet. Moreover, the government has issued a notice that the wages will remain unchanged and equal pay for equal work. Recruiting displaced people will not lower everyone's wages. ”

"It's unreliable! Now that he said that he didn't lower the wage, he recruited that group of homeless people and lowered the wages by half in one go, how can everyone live? ”

The workers were worried.

The affairs of the government, according to experience, always feel unreliable.

This is not the first time that the order has changed.

That's it today, it's like that tomorrow......

Wu Shouye understood the thoughts of the workers very well, "Even if you don't believe in the government, you should believe in Mrs. Yan."

Last time on vacation, who went to town? The city is now also engaged in construction everywhere, building roads and houses, as if there is an endless amount of money to spend.

Those merchants are all making money together, and it is so lively. I've lived in the city for more than ten years, and I've never seen such a lively scene.

I heard the businessmen chatting, saying that the businessmen who ran Pingyang County with Mrs. Yanyan had already made a lot of money, and they pulled out any of them, all of them were veritable wealthy businessmen.

Even the small traders who followed Mrs. Yan back then have now become big businessmen.

Not only that, but the children of the Shangjia family all went to the academy to study and take the entrance examination to become officials.

All in all, the merchants who followed Madame Yan all benefited.

This time, Mrs. Yan came to Xijing Mansion, and those businessmen came with her, just to help Mrs. Yan rebuild the capital.

I'll just tell you this, in the future, the work will not be done.

In five or ten years, there is a need for coolies everywhere, and everyone does not have to worry about finding a job. ”

"Wu Shouye, you didn't lie to us? Is there really work to be done in the future? ”

"What good do I have to lie to you, and the government won't give me an extra penny's salary."

"Your wages are high, and your life is easy. As the saying goes, whoever eats and serves who's care, you help the government speak, and no one blames you. But you can't coax everybody. Everyone is a fellow neighbor, and you can't ignore your conscience when you work together all these years. ”

"If I, Wu Shouye, tell nonsense and coax everyone, the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die well."

"Not really. We just want to have peace of mind, Mrs. Yan really wants to rebuild the capital? Some time ago, I heard that this was a rumor. ”

Wu Shouye pondered: "It should be true." A group of people were pulled above, and I heard that there were tens of thousands of people who went to the direction of the capital to build roads and dredge ditches.

If Mrs. Yan didn't plan to rebuild the capital, why did she spend so much effort, the daily salary was not a small amount, not to mention the cost of eating and drinking tens of thousands of people. ”

"Really?"

"Great! Mrs. Yan will definitely need a large number of people to rebuild the capital. Sure enough, there will be no shortage of work in the future. ”

"Even if you can't do the construction site, you can still work hard to open up the wasteland. As mentioned above, one out of ten acres is cleared. As long as ten acres of land are cultivated, one acre of low-rent land can be obtained, and the children and grandchildren will pass it on from generation to generation. There are many people in your family, and it is not a problem to open up 50 acres of land in a year, and you can get 10 acres of low-rent land in two years. ”

"What is the matter of low-rent fields, why haven't I heard of it?"

"That's what I know. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Yan's Fugui Villa was operated in this way. As the name suggests, the rent is extremely low, and it seems that you only need to pay 20% of the rent. ”

"Is it really that good? 20% rent, plus 30% tax, then you can keep 50% of your own family. ”

If fifty percent of the grain can be left in one acre of land, the food rations of the whole family will basically not be a problem.

You must know that usually tenants lease landlords' fields, and the rent is at least 50%, which is still the price of conscience.

After paying rent and paying taxes, the remaining 20% of the grain is enough to eat a fart.

Every year, when the season of green and yellow crops, it is guaranteed to fight famine.

However, if you can leave 50% of the food and save some food, it will be enough for the family to chew for a year.

For a while, many people were moved.

The idea that is ingrained in everyone's blood and bones is that they must have their own land.

Low-rent land, as long as it is not defeated, is basically equivalent to one's own land.

I really want to leave the pickaxe and open up the wasteland.

"Save it, the wasteland is all in the ravines and ravines, and there is not even a shadow of a person. How can it be easy to make money now. ”

Wu Shouye told everyone, "There is also a salary for clearing the wasteland, but the salary is not as high as that for working on the construction site." Moreover, the wages are calculated according to the amount of land cleared, not according to the number of days. ”

As soon as these words came out, some people were moved, and some people hesitated.

Clearing the wasteland means leaving the bustling city, leaving the lively construction site, and going to the sparsely populated ravine, which is difficult to come out once a year.

If you don't open up the wasteland, you won't have your own land.

What a dilemma.

"It's better for everyone to be busy earning money first, improve the life of the family first, and then decide whether to open up the wasteland."

"That's right. Even if you really want to open up the wasteland, you can't go empty-handed. Anyway, there must be a few copper plates on his body. ”

"Just let those homeless people go to clear the wasteland, so as not to compete with us for work."

"Not bad, not bad. It's a great idea! ”
