Chapter 21: The Man on the Road
It was the first time that the Governor had heard that someone could provide a place to live, even if they were to find a job, most of them would make their own and eat their own, although they didn't make any money, but it was not easy to find a job in this era, and there would be no one to pick on them.
"If you want those people to work for us dutifully, it naturally takes some money, but it is just to provide a place to live, which we have planned from the beginning, which is equivalent to spending a sum of money to give them peace of mind."
"In addition, let them eat in the factory every day, naturally they can set the time, and they can work more after eating, and the time saved is also counted in making money."
Lin Yang said his thoughts, although there was a feeling of exploiting the people, but as a businessman, it was naturally profitable, if he didn't make money, why bother tossing it again.
"Your idea is really peculiar enough, I have said it before, I just help to be your backer, and help you sell food to the barracks, I will not be involved in other things."
The Maritime Governor is quite clever and knows his position very well, and he knows nothing about business.
Lin Yang was willing to tell him that he could naturally listen, but he really shouldn't give more opinions, because he didn't know if this business could be done, the most important thing was that it was Lin Yang who contributed money and effort, and he really shouldn't be in charge.
"Since that's the case, then I'll come back later, and the bill will be delivered at that time."
Lin Yang understood what the Maritime Governor meant, but it was more leisurely, so that no one would be pointing fingers all the time, and it would be convenient in this way.
"You don't have to discuss your affairs with me, I really don't know anything about business, and it won't help much, you can just do it yourself."
The governor said casually, what he wants is just the final result, as long as he can make money, he really doesn't care about the rest.
Lin Yang understood what the other party meant, and didn't come over to bother again, but it still takes time to build the project.
After drawing the drawings, the foundation is slowly dug up, and then the trees are mined directly in the mountains to make a factory.
This area is under the jurisdiction of the Governor, and you can take it as long as you say hello to it.
Sometimes they can't be busy, and they let the soldiers on their side come over to help.
Lin Yang knew that the factory was in a hurry, and it had to be built well, and it would take time.
So recently, I've been thinking about researching some new products, making some instant noodles, and making flavors of various flavors.
Since you decided to build such a factory, you should find a way to sell instant noodles.
He did think about taking the path of a princess, but he felt that this favor could not always be used too much, but it made people irritable.
So, he decided to wait.
Lin Yang has been busy during this time, his feet don't touch the ground, and sometimes he will go to his shop to take a look, until there is nothing going on there, and he doesn't come very often.
Lin Yang sat in the carriage and prepared to go outside for a while.
It's hard to get free, and I have to relax myself.
However, I soon heard a commotion coming from outside the car, which felt strange.
"Are there any shops around here? Why is it so lively lately. ”
Every time Lin Yang passed by this place, he could always hear the noise outside, but he didn't care about it at first, and then he felt a little suspicious.
I don't think there are any new stores that will make the people here move.
"Young master, what kind of newly opened shop is this, it was a sudden intrusion of homeless people outside."
"Recently, many people have not had enough to eat, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only wait at the county yamen, trying to live on handouts."
Wan'er sat next to her, holding tea in her hand, and a stack of fresh melons and fruits next to her.
Although Lin Yang is usually tired, he also knows how to enjoy life.
"How so. Why are so many people unable to eat? ”
Lin Yang usually doesn't know a lot of news, so he really doesn't know anything about this, he was originally a gentleman, he really doesn't know about some news, although he has started business recently, but he doesn't know anything about the state of people's livelihood.
"The young master was pampered and raised, so naturally he didn't know these things, and the crops in those fields were not worth a lot of money, and after paying taxes, these people couldn't live at all, and they could only go outside to help, but those who didn't have the ability could only wait here to die."
Wan'er's eyes were drooping when she spoke, and she looked a little sad.
"How do you know so much?"
Lin Yang looked at Wan'er next to him curiously, he was more intimate to himself, and he had always been very obedient to himself since he came over.
But I didn't expect him to understand this, and it can be seen that he should have lived a hard life.
"My family used to have a good life, but then my mother got sick, and in the end she had no choice but to sell me, but thanks to the sale, I was able to see the young master."
When Wan'er talked about this incident, she deliberately said happily, as if it was not a fault, but a good thing.
Lin Yang understood what he meant, so he gently held Neng in his arms and comforted him.
"If you want to go home and have a look, you can do so at any time, and I'll give you some money when the time comes."
Lin Yang has always been more generous to the people around him, not to mention that now that he has begun to make money, he is naturally willing to spend money.
Wan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she shook her head gently.
"Over the years, my mother's illness has been cured, and she gave birth to a younger brother, and the family is living a good life, and the monthly money I send home every month is also sent home, and their life is not bad, if I go back, they are not happy."
Wan'er is still relatively sober.
In this era, a woman herself is a business presence, and if your family is well-off, you can say that your family can also exchange it for a bride price when you grow up.
But if it doesn't grow up, it will be sold or changed at that time.
Especially in the era of not having enough to eat, such things really abound, everyone is used to it, and naturally they will not complain about anything anymore, they only know that this is their fate, that is, their life is bitter.
"It's okay, if you want to go home, then go and see, you don't have to live there, send something back, it should be a reward for raising you."
Lin Yang understood Wan'er's unwillingness, and he also knew his kind of suffering, but Wan'er was destined to be a girl, and she would marry in the future, so she couldn't go home.
