Chapter Twenty-Six: We Are All Workers
"Friend above, are you okay?"
"Is it the remnants of Meng Yuan above the Ming Dynasty? 100,000 cavalry have returned to the grassland, the siege of Datong Mansion has been lifted, and what the little king said is very right, our soldiers are bloodless. โ
"Remember, there can be no grassland on the top of the Han people's heads, it must be included in the territory! I asked Qin Huai's friend upstairs. โ
"Little Wang Dao Chief, ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Ying spoke, and the latter was silent.
"Have you lost all your money? Don't lend a hand to him! โ
Guo Ying stubbornly said:
"Your Majesty, the little king is not bankrupt, and he has made a lot of rich people's money......"
"If you don't earn money from the rich, do you earn from the poor? Go on, keep telling us, let's hear what he did! โ
Guo Ying said carefully:
"In just one month, Qinhuai Tower has made many wealthy businessmen and officials a second home...... And the tax payment has doubled from before, reaching 50,000 taels of silver. โ
"What!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, this loser earned one and a half million taels a month?" โ
Guo Ying hurriedly shook his head:
"Your Majesty, it is a turnover of 1.5 million taels, not a profit, and he has divided eighty percent of the silver, and only two percent is kept."
"That's not a lot! Is there anything wrong? Have you ever evaded taxes before? โ
Guo Ying affirmed:
"This is the data found by the Ministry of Households, and there is also a breakdown of the expenses of wealthy businessmen and officials, 'thirty taxes one' - for every thirty taels of turnover, one tael of taxes is paid, and nothing less."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became even more curious.
What trick did Wang Huai use, Qin Huailou, who was already very rich, was even more powerful?
This kid won't rob it, will he?
After all, his impression of Wang Huai is that when the sky falls, he is still that hippie smiling face, this kind of person is so thick-skinned that he can make any means!
It's kind of like us.
"Say! Keep talking! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, he changed all the Qin Huai Tower......"
Guo Ying said, stopped and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang to see if he was really angry or pretending to be angry.
"Go on, don't stop."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Guo Ying sorted out his thoughts and said:
"The biggest change in Qinhuai Lou is that if a guest orders a woman and only eats and drinks with him, he will pay ten taels of silver a night.
"If it's a talent show, like singing... Or dance a spicy dance....massage... and other programs, and get a hundred taels of silver a night.
"If you want to take the woman out of Qinhuai Tower, five hundred taels a night!
This is only a woman other than a flower girl, if one of the fifteen flower girls, the price is calculated in gold! โ
Zhu Yuanzhang was stupid.
Is there such a green house in the world?
The girl doesn't have to accompany the guests in the Qinglou, but is taken out by the guests?
This not only reduces costs, but also improves harvests!
And such a rule, which can attract so many guests, must have other unique features.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and angry.
The whole person slowed down for a long time before he digested it.
Guo Ying saw that Lao Zhu's expression had eased a little, and continued:
"There are also some names that are unheard ofโ
"The top floor of Qinhuai Building arranges a sightseeing floor, you can overlook the smoke and sand in half of the city, the charge is not expensive, 1 tael of silver, but it attracts tourists, and it also brings a lot of business.
"And also added some names, called members, recharge consumption discounts, and a lot of silver.
He also set up a club called a thing, and a lot of rich people vied for him to stuff money......"
"Corruption!"
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, and he laughed.
This little Wang Huai is full of ghost ideas, and he is a talent!
It's just that there are more thorns, if he is allowed to mess around with the people, sooner or later he will become another Shen Wansan!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu said:
"Where's that place on Qianzhou Island?"
Guo Ying paused, and couldn't help but smile:
"Little Wang Daochang posted a notice, called... Called--we are all workers! โ
Lao Zhu almost burst out laughing, snorted, hid his emotions, and complained:
"This kid, it's impossible to work part-time, and it's too young to be the boss; Let's go, let's go and see what is famous, don't wear a flying fish suit. โ
"Yes, Your Majesty."
โฆโฆ
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in micro-service, took Guo Ying in civilian clothes on a cruise boat by the Qinhuai River.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the shore.
Guo Yingzhi ordered the cruise ship to dock.
The discussion of the teahouse on the shore came clearly-
"Have you all heard? Qianzhou Island is about to start recruiting. โ
When the crowd in a circle heard this, they hurriedly asked:
"Really? When will it start?"
"Why didn't I see a figure?"
"Horse, you're foolish, aren't you? They have a lot of boats, and no one has seen a move......"
The man glared angrily.
"You're just foolish! Sanbao in my village is a driver on their boat! โ
Others went on to ask:
"So what else do you want to know?"
"The salary for this recruitment is high, guess how much?"
The man took a sip of tea, whetting the appetite of the crowd.
Everyone started talking about it-
"How many can there be? If you can get eight dollars a month to move bricks, it is better than working in the field! โ
"Eight pieces of silver? Dream, why don't you go to heaven? โ
"The shopkeeper is your father, who pays such a high wage to the workers?"
"That's not necessarily, but I've heard that the employees they recruited at the beginning can now be spent in Qinhuai Building."
"That seems to make sense."
After some discussion among the people who ate melons, they hurriedly asked the person just now.
"Ma'er, isn't your village Sanbao a boat driver? Have you heard, how much is the specific salary?"
"That's it! Don't worry about the horses! โ
The crowd eating melons was noisy.
With a smug smile on the horse's face:
"More than you think, hehe......."
"How tall is that? Is it as tall as Qinhuai Tower? โ
There were already some people around who couldn't help but get angry
Finish.
Ma Er hurriedly said:
"The basic salary on the notice is two taels of silver a month for ordinary workers!"
"But I have to take a boat to work on the island, and it's very tiring, four hours a day."
When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
The noise got louder.
"Wouldn't it?! Ordinary workers are only two taels of silver? And he only works four hours a day, which is the treatment of a worker? โ
Four hours, that's a third of a day!
In the eyes of the people, don't you do things from dawn to sunset?
I just ate and slept for a while, and got up again in the morning to continue working.
Four hours of work can do two jobs a day!
That's higher than the petty officials of the imperial court who eat the imperial grain!
When the people heard this, they all felt that pie had fallen from the sky!
"Quiet! Be quiet! Hear me out first! โ
The crowd fell silent, and the horse, feeling that he had become the boss, said with satisfaction:
"I just talked about the wages of ordinary workers, and there are other carpenters, masons, stonemasons, bricklayers, and blacksmiths...... These people who have a skill can earn even more money. โ
"How much? Don't sell it! โ
"The specifics are not clear, the salary plus bonuses should be four or five taels of silver."
Hear this.
The crowd exploded again, and they were pleasantly surprised!
Workers earn four or five taels of silver a month, which is higher than that of middle-level officials in the imperial court, and it is simply the smoke of the ancestral tomb!
Someone shouted excitedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was not calm......
