Chapter 179: Cooperation with the Emperor
The emperor under the veil darkened his face, and thought to himself, why is Zhao Siye's brain bad today, hurry up and agree! If she doesn't go, how can the old man go back?
It's just that the emperor didn't speak, and Zhao Siye didn't dare to call the shots, but kept glancing at him, hoping to get some hints.
The emperor glared at Zhao Siye coldly: "Do you always look at ***? Miss Zhao brought her family, this is a reasonable thing, why hesitate?"
Zhao Siye hurriedly responded: "Yes, Miss Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely arrange your family's residence in the Imperial City."
The emperor's face under the veil darkened even more, he glared at Zhao Siye with disgust, and scolded in his heart, "Aren't you very smart on weekdays? Got kicked in the head by a donkey today? How many pounds and taels do you have? Arrange her family's residence, are you paying for this silver? You are so poor that you sell your ancestral house and are still poor and generous here, I can't even talk about you!"
"Ahem!" The emperor coughed twice, and Zhao Siye hurriedly stopped.
The emperor quipped, "Why did Zhao Siye joke with a junior? Miss Zhao's father-in-law is Shen Shangshu's eldest son, and his family lives in the imperial city, if you arrange a residence for them outside, aren't you afraid that Shen Junchen will find out and beat you?"
Zhao Qianqian looked serious: "My husband never beats people, really, others are very good!"
The emperor thought to himself, "You really spare no effort to boast about your own father-in-law! But are you practical? Your father-in-law is a well-known living Hades, and he doesn't beat people? It's no wonder if you don't kill you!"
Zhao Siye slapped on the door of his head: "Oops! Seeing that I am confused, General Shen lives in the imperial city, not only the Shangshu Mansion, but also the General's Mansion given by the emperor, the General's Mansion has not yet been lived in, the mansion is more magnificent than the Palace, how can I go to find a residence!"
The emperor continued, "Although you are married to Junchen, you have not announced it to the world, and traveling in this capacity may bring misunderstanding. Zhao Siye is going to get a road guide and send it to Miss Zhao tomorrow."
The previous sentence was said to Zhao Qianqian, and the latter was said to Zhao Siye.
"Yes." The two should go down.
The Emperor asked, "When can Miss Zhao depart?" Maybe we can go along."
Zhao Qianqian thought for a while and said, "I have a few projects going on here, and I can't leave for the time being, and I need the construction period of the first batch of projects to end before I can go."
"You mean the houses built at the foot of the East Mountain, the West Mountain, and the North Mountain?" The emperor asked.
Zhao Qian said lightly: "There is also a cottage one hundred and fifty miles away from here, where a village and a warehouse are being built, it is estimated that it is almost completed, I have to go over and have a look."
Factories and warehouses were built at the foot of the West and North Mountains, and houses were built at the foot of the East Mountain, so if there is no problem with the completion of the first phase of the project, I will rush to the Imperial City."
Zhao Siye frowned: "It takes too long to wait for so many projects to be completed, Guozijian is waiting for reconstruction, and the progress is too slow to affect the spring of the year after next!"
"How long will it take?" The emperor asked.
Zhao Siye thought to himself, such a big project, a construction period will take three years and five years, right?
The emperor felt that it would take at least half a year, and he felt that this person could make Qingyun City's GDP increase several times in three months, and it would not be surprising that there would be any miracles, even if it was half a year, it was the shortest estimated time he gave.
Zhao Qianqian replied truthfully: "It's hard to say, if everything is normal, it is expected to be completed on the 20th."
The emperor didn't ask, but he was still shocked in his heart, he thought that it would take half a year no matter how fast it was, and it would be completed in 20 days, was it a hasty answer?
In the twenty-day period, Zhao Siye can wait, even two months, and he has a part of the silver that can be topped first.
It's just that this is a bit of a? How can a house be built so quickly? Can a house that has not been repaired in two or three years be inhabited? Even if you build a grass shed, it can't be completed in more than a month, right?
"Are you sure there will be no problems with a house built so quickly?" The emperor asked.
The deadline is so urgent, how much water does it have to be done?
Zhao Qianqian said: "No, we are bricks and steel frames, not earth rammed walls, and there are people who supervise the quality, they will check every day, and if there is a problem, they will deal with it immediately, and they will not wait."
Problems are only discovered at the end of a construction period when they are accepted.
If there is a problem during the inspection, not only will we not get the money, but we will also be sued, we have signed a contract with the contractor, but if there is no problem, our bonus will also be a bonus."
The emperor was curious about how generous the prize was? It will attract people to take risks for it!
"How much is the prize?" The emperor asked.
Zhao Qianqian: "The contractor's bonus is one hundred taels, and the small worker's bonus is three taels, but if there is rework and waste of materials in the middle, the small worker will not only not get the bonus, but will also deduct three taels, and the contractor will deduct half of the bonus, and the wasted materials must be deducted from the salary.
One hundred taels is not a small amount, and a Qing official of the imperial court can't save so much silver in a year.
Zhao Siye was surprised: "If a project is completed in more than a month, the contractor can earn 100 taels, so how many small workers can there be?" You are willing to do it."
Zhao Qianqian corrected Zhao Siye: "The contractor is not just one hundred taels, but only a bonus of one hundred taels, and the contract money.
As long as the construction period is not delayed and the work is not reworked, a project contractor can earn at least three hundred taels.
The contractor's requirement is that each small worker can not be less than four taels of silver for a project, and the contractor shall not use illegal means to coerce the workers.
Of course, if a small worker is procrastinating, the contractor has the right to deduct wages or choose not to use such small work."
"How do you know if the contractor has deducted the wages of the small workers?" The emperor asked.
Zhao Qianqian took out a piece of paper from his backpack, got up and handed it to the emperor: "This is a model for each contractor to sign a contract with the small workers, after each contractor signs a contract with the small workers, they must hand over a copy to me, and after the construction period is over, I will arrange someone to supervise the payment of the wages of the small workers on site."
While watching, the emperor listened to Zhao Qian's explanation, and I have to say that it was done in great detail, and no one had a loophole to exploit.
Zhao Siye asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will delay time and delay completion?"
Zhao Qianqian raised his eyebrows: "If they want to make more money, they will complete it as soon as possible and grab the next project." Because the previous project cannot be delivered if it is not accepted, and the cooperation contract for the next project cannot be obtained if it is not delivered."
The Emperor nodded approvingly, and did not hesitate to praise, "Very well thought out. You're very good at controlling people's hearts!"
A small worker, a month's salary, is about to catch up with his one of the industry's salaries, if you get a bonus again, it will exceed his salary, Miss Zhao, aren't you slapping the monarch in the face?
Zhao Siye Nuonuo asked, "If the salary of a small worker is so high, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will punish you for the crime of disturbing order?"
Zhao Qianqian smiled and said, "If it's all the same, then who is willing to work hard? How else can you improve efficiency? If everything is the same, there will be no progress in society!"
The emperor glanced at Zhao Siye: "It's a good idea, it's a good idea!"
Zhao Siye also glanced at the emperor secretly, and asked lightly, "You haven't been for a long time, so if the project continues, wouldn't a supervisor earn thousands of taels of silver a year?"
Zhao Qianqian nodded: "Well, that's right, this is the benefit of the contracting responsibility system I just told Master Zhao, the time, efficiency, and quality have all gone up, and the cost can be effectively controlled, or go back to the problem just mentioned, the more they earn, the more they will be motivated!"
"How much money can you earn by offering such a high price to the contractor? You won't end up paying the money, will you?" Zhao Siye asked.
"No, it won't." Zhao Qianqian replied very simply.
Then he said: "After the warehouse and factory building are built, they can be used for at least dozens or even hundreds of years, and the things on my mountain, processed and produced, can earn back the cost of building a house in less than a year's income, and they will be earned for several years to come."
And the house I built, I can make money as soon as I repair it, and then they have to pay me water bills, electricity bills, and property fees every month, and as long as the house is still there, I will always have an income."
The emperor and Zhao Siye are both first-class smart people, and this one is considered a subordinate
, It won't be long before the yellow-haired girl in front of her will be rich.
I just don't understand what she said about electricity and strata fees? And why does water still collect money? But if she can say it, it must be a feasible way.
"How much do you earn a month now?" Zhao Siye asked.
Zhao Qianqian thought about it, and said lightly: "It's hard to say, judging from the income of the last ten days, it should be eighty, but it has just begun, and the business has developed less, and it should be ten, a hundred times or even more in the future."
The emperor shook his head, Xiong Ziying raised the teacup, and said with a faint smile: "Little girl, you only have eighty taels of silver a month, what are you calling the food expenses of the future camp, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"
Zhao Qianqian raised his eyebrows playfully: "It's 800,000 taels."
"Cough cough, cough ......" The emperor didn't swallow a sip of tea and was almost choked to death.
Zhao Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward to beat him on the back: "Actually, this is just a rough estimate, the income is not so much now, but I received a letter from Dongjunguo yesterday, and a partner from Xijing happened to come to Qingyun City, according to what they said The current income budget is not necessarily so much."
The emperor coughed for a while before he stabilized, and finally grasped a key point that shocked him, Dongjunguo and Xijing have partners, which means that her business has actually gone abroad.
The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for her to stop beating his back.
"You mean the merchants from Xijing came to Qingyun City yesterday?" The emperor asked
Zhao Qianqian: "Yes."
The Emperor thought to himself, "Could it be that he was not mistaken yesterday, it was really him? But how could he be a businessman?"
The emperor laughed, shook his head and thought, "It must be that he thinks too much, how can he be a businessman, if he comes to Qianqiu, he must go to the imperial city, how can he come to a poor and dilapidated small county town like Qingyun City?"
Still, he casually asked, "What's his name?"
She suddenly pouted mischievously, "It's a trade secret, I can't tell you!"
"Bold!" The Emperor roared suddenly.
