Chapter 145: Donations
Yang Chuan was interested: "Is that team leader a big official?" ”
Shen Xinyue nodded against her will: "Great, everyone is under your control, and you are responsible for supervising whether they sit on the ground and charge high fees from customers." ”
As soon as he heard that he could continue to manage everyone, Yang Chuan was finally satisfied.
Shen Xinyue was about to leave, but was stopped by him again.
"What's wrong again?"
"Since I'm the team leader, do I have to arrange a few people? Besides, we haven't talked about wages yet. ”
Shen Xinyue patted her head: "Yes, let the plug come with you, you have five hundred wen per month, and the plug is two hundred wen." ”
Originally, the plug was still a little unhappy, but when he heard it, the person in charge had 200 yuan a month, and he was immediately happy again.
Sending the most difficult person away, Shen Xinyue began to think about other things.
It is estimated that you will not make much money just by selling these things locally. In the past few years, this year has been quite smooth, and the people can barely fill their stomachs, and the purchase is not enough, which affects her to make money.
If you want to grow your business, you have to take a long-term view. Find ways to stimulate consumption.
The Great Yuan Dynasty occupies the core of the entire Central Plains, and the west is the Red Moon Kingdom, although the soldiers are strong and strong, but the climate and environment are harsh, drought and perennial wind and sand invasion, and the people's living standards are not high.
But because they had dealings with Fanwai, the nobles were still very rich.
You can consider making some money about this. For example, some porcelain is transported, and then some horses are resold back.
However, I heard that the relationship between the two countries is tense now, and there will be a war at any time, for the sake of safety, Shen Xinyue decided to hold off for the time being.
The rest are the Canglan Kingdom in the east and the Beidi tribe in the north.
Canglan relies on the sea and makes a living from fishing. Always attached to Dayuan.
Beidi is similar to the country of Akatsuki, but they are nomadic people, and their cattle, horses, and sheep are stronger.
I heard that relations between the two countries have also been tense recently.
Shen Xinyue thought about it again and again, and finally set her sights on Beidi.
Large livestock are very easy to eat in China, especially horses and cattle, and Yangping is relatively close to Beidi, so it is relatively easy to make a trip in the past.
So, Shen Xinyue added an extra fifty cauldrons to the iron-striking masters.
Because Shen Xinyue's iron pots and farm tools are very practical, and the price is not outrageously high, they were immediately praised by everyone as soon as they were launched.
Even to the point where demand exceeds supply.
"General manager, can we push back these fifty iron pots? If you look at my orders here, they are all already pushing into a mountain. ”
As soon as the head of the calcination team saw her, he began to complain.
"Don't you know, there are more than a dozen people in our group, working overtime every day, and they are really too busy, and everyone can't sleep for two hours a day."
Shen Xinyue nodded: "That's really hard, how can you pay attention to the combination of work and rest." Is there anything else you would like to react to? Like food or treatment or something? ”
Team Leader Niu shook his head: "That's not true, everyone said that with you, the girl earned more than ten times more than before." Needless to say, it is either meat or fish every day. ”
Shen Xinyue: "Press the others back, I have a lot of use for these fifty pots." ”
Seeing that she said so, Team Leader Niu had no choice but to grit his teeth and go back to work.
As a result, Shen Xinyue didn't go far before she met Tie Xiaozhong.
Shen Xinyue took the initiative to say hello: "Why does Master Tie have time to come over to us today?" ”
Tie Xiaozhong didn't expect to run into her, and his expression was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the task given to him by King Chen, he had to accompany him with a smile and say: "Girl, Akatsuki and Beidi have not stopped much recently, and they have asked for a thousand steel knives to be punched within a month. ”
Knowing that he must have come over to borrow someone, Shen Xinyue pretended not to hear what he meant, and replied with a smile: "Since Master Tie is so busy, then I won't bother you, go back quickly." ”
Tie Xiaozhong glanced at Master Niu and the others, opened his mouth, and finally turned to leave under Shen Xinyue's smiling gaze.
King Chen is embarrassed to speak, he is not so thick-skinned, so let's go back and let him find another way.
It didn't take long for Shen Xinyue to return to the village, Li Jingchen came to talk to her in person.
“…… Everything is based on the overall situation, and these weapons are to be sent to the battlefield, and if they are delivered one day earlier, many people may be killed. ”
Shen Xinyue listened to his tirade, and finally said, "As early as the beginning, I have already helped His Highness a lot. Of the more than 100 people in Zhentianzhai, I didn't keep any of them, and they all gave them to His Highness. Besides, I don't think that my few people can really help His Highness much, after all, there are thousands of you, and I only have a few dozen. ”
Li Jingchen frowned: "You can't say that, you can help some, besides, in the face of family and country affairs, what is a little selfish desire of a person?" ”
"Your Highness, that's not right, right? Even if it's a major event of the family and the country, I can't sacrifice it alone, right? I found the iron ore, I contributed the iron-making recipe, and I found the laborers in the mine. There are so many blacksmiths out there, why do you only stare at me? Having said that, you don't think that personal interests are important, the treasury is tight, and I didn't see you taking the lead in donating points, after all, you are a prince. ”
Shen Xinyue felt that she had to have a degree of being a person, blindly asking for it, and even taking these for granted, so she didn't need to be polite.
Li Jingchen blushed: "I didn't expect Lu Zhong to like a selfish and narrow-minded woman like you!" I used to think that your knowledge was generally different from other women. ”
Shen Xinyue was also not polite: "Why does he like me, you should ask him." I'm just a selfish and narrow-minded woman, and I'm really sorry if I caused you any misunderstanding before. ”
Li Jingchen couldn't say anything about her, so he turned around and left angrily.
Back at his residence, Li Jingchen was angry with himself for a long time, and even felt that it was not a wise choice for the emperor to be the county lord of Shen Xinyue and to reward her with half of the minerals.
But she is right in one sentence, what he hasn't done, why should he ask others?
After calming down, he quickly wrote a letter and sent it back to Kyoto.
In front of the princes and ministers in the court, Li Yuansheng told everyone about Li Jingchen's letter.
"Chen'er voluntarily waived half a year's salary, and also took out 2,000 yuan, just to tide over the difficulties with everyone. He is worthy of being a good son of mine, and he leads by example. ”
Li Jingchen has never been very favored, and there is no industry in the house, so it is not easy to come up with two thousand yuan.
Li Yuansheng was so happy that he even praised Li Jingchen that he had no better son than him.
King Yu and King Ning were in the same court, and when they saw this, they expressed their willingness to tighten their clothes and reduce their monthly salaries, and at the same time take out 5,000 yuan to fill the treasury.
