Chapter 236: Visitation
"To mobilize so much manpower to build, we are short of manpower."
The so-called shortage of manpower means that there is a shortage of food, and in the period of cash-for-work, as long as there is food, people are willing to work, and at this time, they will not pick and choose.
Not having money is the biggest problem.
Although food prices have risen slightly, it is still possible to buy food if there is enough money.
Fan Jingjing's Fan family manor, the food in the cash-for-work is not produced by itself, but the grain collected and then used.
Through the continuous transportation of grain by merchants to transport products away, the scale of Fanjia Manor is basically getting bigger and bigger, and even more workshops in Fanjia Town absorb the grain of these merchants.
They also knew that as long as they absorbed the grain and transported it to the city to sell, they could sell it at a good price, and at the same time, they could also use the grain to find some manpower, and perhaps these skilled manpower could be trained into workers and stay directly to work.
Fan Jingjing's method of visiting has long been spread, so more and more people have taken apart the production links, which improves the efficiency of production, and allows skilled masters to take charge of the most important links, while assigning other links to some unfamiliar workers.
It is much simpler to train a link worker than to train an all-round worker.
The people of Fanjia Town are staring at Fanjia Manor all the time, and many bosses still belong to the employees of Fanjia Manor, and they are reluctant to give up the work of Fanjia Manor, and work in Fanjia Manor in person, and hire people outside to work for their Fanjia Town workshop.
However, they are still measured, and the unique secret skills that belong to the Fan family manor have not been brought to Fanjia Town, unless Fan Jingjing takes the initiative to push it.
Fan Jingjing wants to organize people to go to the mountains It is a little difficult for the people in Fanjia Manor, so the main people still have to be picked from Fanjia Town, many people who work for relief are now living in the collective housing of Fanjia Town, as long as it is a job in Fanjia Town, they don't pick at all, they hope to change their careers and enter Fanjia Town through their work attitude.
For the skilled workers of the Fan Family Manor, it is normal to erect water pipes to draw water out, and they are even able to introduce new techniques to make the water flow out faster and not be polluted more in each job.
They even removed the diaphragm in the middle of the bamboo joints, and there are new processes in the series of bamboo joints, which make it easier for bamboo water pipes to flow out, and at the same time, they also study how long bamboo can be used and how long the water pipes must be replaced before they are used, and these things about daily life, they are the most diligent in researching.
Because it's about everyday life, it's the easiest way to make merit, and in people's hearts, because of the existence of heaven and hell, the psychology is very heavy.
And they feel that these jobs can help other places to sit outside to form a business circle, but without Fan Jingjing's permission, they haven't really done it, in their opinion, these ways of doing things are all Fan Jingjing, she brought, if there is no Fan Jingjing's permission, to do it outside, it is too immoral, for them, a person's virtue is more important than anything else, because people are doing it.
There are so many pairs of eyes around, unless they want to live away from these people, otherwise everything they do will be seen by others, not to mention that Fan Jingjing is not a small person, Fan Jingjing's influence can go to Chang'an, do they want to leave Chang'an to live?
For ordinary people, it is not so simple to go far.
"Do as much as you want! Swallowing greed is not rotten. ”
Fan Jingjing also knows that the suffering of the people of Datang is not something she can solve alone, and even if he wants to solve it, others do not necessarily want these problems to be solved, because there are many rich people in Datang, and these rich people use tenant farmers to farm.
In fact, it is not a wrong thing for them to use tenant farmers for farming, as long as they have enough money to eat.
Tenant farmers also sold their labor and rented their fields, and it was not for nothing in the Hereafter.
The tenant farmer is actually an investor, but the people who work in the land seem to have no other choice, and this is the saddest thing.
However, the land in Datang is not insufficient, but because they have no extra food, extra choices, and if they don't continue to work, they will have no food.
It is also very convenient, but the most troublesome thing is that there are many wild animals that can affect the harvest, and the first year is particularly difficult to tidy up the fields, and it is impossible to work smoothly.
If you want to maintain the survival of life, it is impossible to have enough food, and if you want to open up the land, you must let yourself have a year's worth of grain and other crops to grow.
The water on the land has a certain amount, and the water is diverted from other places, which is bound to have some impact on the local hydrology, and the Fan family manor is considered to be the downstream of the mountain water, after the water on the mountain is led to other directions, the water volume of the Fan family manor will also be reduced, but if there is no continuous supply to the outside world, the water of the Fan family manor is basically enough, after all, the population of this era is too small, and the population density is outrageously low.
The topographic map and hydrological map on the mountain have basically been under the control of Liang Shu, and the area close to the Fan family manor has been measured for five hundred miles.
Whether it is a lack of money or a lack of people, how much strength you have to do how much you do, Fan Jingjing will have no psychological burden, and what you are doing can be seen by outsiders, it is better than you doing nothing.
"The belly is getting rounder and rounder, I don't know how the child inside is alive now, it looks like a good baby, and it won't kick my stomach."
For Fan Jingjing, men are not important at all, but the child in her belly is her most important baby.
The problem of water shortage, in fact, the more serious the problem is in places with more population, especially farmers can move to distant places to find water and find a new way to live, but the entire Chang'an City cannot be moved.
There are many people in Chang'an City, who have never been out of Chang'an City in their lives.
After all, outside the city, they don't feel that they live better than inside Chang'an City, as for the green mountains and green waters, in fact, not all houses are in Chang'an City, there are still many markets that have not yet been developed, and they are all farmland and green space.
The imperial court was also doing things, but the imperial court was able to pour less water.
Even the water in the palace is a little insufficient, and the amount of water must be limited, and the queen who is locked up in the palace is actually quite worried about this situation.
No matter how short of water there is, there will be no shortage of water for the emperor and empress, but no water to drink will make the atmosphere of the palace very bad, after all, the palace is a place where a large number of people are concentrated, even if the eunuchs and palace maids don't have to care too much about the psychological reaction, but the working environment is too poor.
Although most of the places in the Tang Dynasty have different disasters, and the emperor Li Shimin is also very concerned, but if the things that happen around him cannot be solved, the anger is the most direct, and all the resources of the Tang Dynasty must be used in the Chang'an Guanzhong, but the water resources want to be transported from other places, which is equivalent to a fantasy in this era, so the emperor Li Shimin is anxious.
There were no good containers for water in this era, and all containers were very bulky.
Not to mention that it has to be transported from far away, and there is no good transportation and means of transportation.
It was very hard and difficult to transport water to the city gates for the local people.
The more difficult it is to make large buckets, only some ceramics can be burned, but these large vats are also very difficult to fire.
Can't use large containers, then you can only use small containers, but small containers to carry is also very difficult, although the transportation in Chang'an City is more convenient, but their roads are not so easy to travel, now there is a bicycle production exercises, but so quickly the bicycle manufacturing, to the ability to be a supervisor is no way, other places are relatively simple, you can change the way of production, but the speed of the craftsmen who will be a supervisor to change the way is relatively slow.
More importantly, Chang'an has a lot of water storage, but it is not so easy for Chang'an to take water, water pipes and other things may be able to solve the problem, the problem is that in the era of science and technology, very simple plastic hoses, in Chang'an is a big problem.
"How did the water taste bitter? It's not very tasty. ”
"The better water has been sent to the Emperor, no matter what, it can't make the Emperor feel uncomfortable."
Empress Changsun personally brought tea and water to Emperor Li Shimin.
The water in the palace has also become less, not enough for the people in the palace to use it, and the water restriction has begun.
Water is also becoming unpalatable.
Emperor Li Shimin also frowned, even the royal family has no way to achieve basic guarantees, so what should the people do?
"I don't know how the water in Zhuqing's house is used?" Emperor Li Shimin had the spirit of drowning himself and starving, and immediately thought of his important ministers.
Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said:
"Let the people in the palace go to the Fan family manor to see the children! You can bring as much as you can, I heard that there is no shortage of water in the Fan family manor. It would be good to leave only some people to serve the emperor, anyway, the emperor doesn't need so many people to serve. ”
Empress Eldest Sun said.
"Or if the emperor wants to order someone's brand, I will let them send it over in advance, after all, the emperor can't be accompanied by seven or eight women every day, and it should be enough to leave seven or eight women."
Emperor Li Shimin knew that there were many people in Fan Jingjing's place who went to her for help, and more or less solved some troubles for the emperor, and if they were all concentrated in Chang'an, the problem of dealing with Chang'an would be even greater.
You must know that at least one-tenth of the people who have been diverted to Fanjia Town do not seem to be much, but in fact, it has made a very big contribution to alleviating the pressure on Chang'an.
So in addition to the problem of bicycles, the emperor issued orders to the yamen near Fan Jingjing, asking them not to interfere with the development of the Fan family's manor.
You must know that the county officials are not as good as the current management, and sometimes in the locality, when the officials are bad, they will not have less power than the high-ranking officials.
"Not good." The pot that belongs to the royal family doesn't seem to be good to throw it out, and it sounds like the eldest grandson queen is also preparing to follow and is not ready to stay in Chang'an City.
"There's nothing bad about it, anyway, these people in the palace have nothing to do every day, so it's better to take it to Fan Jingjing to solve the problem of food and food and drink. She never felt embarrassed to use the people in the palace, not to mention that she also needed some people.
I heard that Fan Jingjing is now focusing on building a rich garden, so that some rich people can go to that place for vacation and rest, and he invited me to come over to experience it, maybe I can recuperate in that place.
The concubine was very curious about the holiday estate she proposed. ”
"These people are supported by the money in the palace...... How can she just use it? ”
"In her opinion, it's good to have someone to raise, and it's boring to stand there, so she should go out to work, which is called making the best use of things."
"The people of the palace should have a ...... of grace"
"Fan Jingjing has not made less money for us, our life is better than before, isn't it Fan Jingjing who brought it?
Anyway, I'm going to throw people to her, and also reduce the burden on the palace. ”
Emperor Li Shimin thought about it, this is indeed a mutually beneficial thing.
And Fan Jingjing has more manpower, and will be able to solve more problems in Chang'an, because Fan Jingjing will be able to solve more refugees.
Even the water of the Fan family manor can be sent to Chang'an, and the road from Chang'an to the Fan family manor is now the smoothest by Fan Jingjing, and the road is more than twice as fast as in other places.
It's the most budget-friendly.
It would be nice if the water could be brought directly to Chang'an from the Fan family manor, but it is much more convenient than moving around, but unfortunately, according to the Fan family manor, the bamboo pipe water diversion must also take advantage of the high drop.
In this way, if you want to drink water, you must consider the high position of Chang'an City, whether it is lower than the water diversion area, and what kind of friction coefficient it is, these questions may not be understood by the emperor and the courtiers.
The emperor called the people from the Ministry of Industry to ask, but the people from the Ministry of Industry had no way to explain it.
If the people from the Ministry of Industry could understand, they would have sent someone to fetch water a long time ago, and I heard that the water quality of the Fan family's manor is much better than that in the palace.
As for who to listen to, of course, it is the prince who gathers once a month, for these princes and princesses, the Fan family manor is more like their home, if it weren't for their parents in the palace, maybe they wouldn't want to come back, and they are all very serious in their studies, and they often have wild ideas.
Often, when they have an idea, they start discussing with each other about practical possibilities. These princes and princesses are not in a hurry to intrigue, but they are becoming more and more united, and even have the idea of organizing their own business activities.
But the prince and the princess concentrate on doing business, which means that the prince and the emperor are short of money, why is the prince and the princess short of money? Didn't that mean that Emperor Li Shimin gave less money?
made Emperor Li Shimin feel that his face was gloomy.
Now that even the queen wants to go out and try the life of the Fan family's manor, Emperor Li Shimin is a little crying and laughing.
