Chapter 63 [Recruiting Readers, the Hospitality of the Four Maids]
The system mentioned by Lin Ze is widely used and circulated in the main world.
In terms of ensuring production efficiency, it is indeed extremely practical.
Li and the three officials, after listening to Lin Ze's system, thought about it in their minds for a while, and suddenly had a feeling of being stopped.
Isn't this the way to reward and punish people at the same time?
As officials, they usually use this set as they like, but people are like this, obviously the core is the same thing, but if you change the way of expression, you can't think of it at all.
But as long as someone clears the fog, they can quickly understand.
"If it is a fixed salary, then digging more and digging less has nothing to do with themselves, and these miners will naturally slack off."
"And the more you dig, the more you are paid, and you will naturally work hard, even more than 2,000 catties of output, and dig out more coal every day."
"But Ziyi, your set of rules still needs to be strictly enforced, if the implementation is unfair, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect, if you want to record the output of these miners, you need a lot of people who know how to calculate and learn."
After savoring it for a moment, Li He spoke.
"This requires my uncle's help, I heard that many poor students in the county school have difficulty making a living on weekdays, and only occasionally take some copying jobs to make a living, and my mine can provide a lot of jobs for them to make a living in addition to studying."
Lin Ze said with a smile.
The scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally studied in private schools.
After learning to a certain level and taking the county examination, you can become a talent and enter the county school to study.
In fact, Xiucai didn't study in the county school, but just put on a name to lead Yulu to study by himself.
In view of this situation, the existence of Mengxue was added to the county school of this dynasty, and many children were officially enrolled here to prepare for the Xiucai examination.
The people Lin Ze wants to find Li He are those old children, or those who have done their best to be admitted to Xiucai.
These people may not be able to pass the high school entrance examination, but they can still be competent to keep accounts for the miners in the coal mine of Linze.
"No problem, I'll go and tell the teachings when I go back, and let the scholars who are interested in finding an errand to make a living come to Ziyi."
Li He nodded in agreement.
"It's not early, I'm going to get busy tomorrow, and I still have some things to wrap up."
"If you have something to do, you can leave first, and come here another day to see the progress when you have time."
Talking about this, it was almost over, Lin Ze glanced at the sky.
Let's go now, and we can get back to the city before dark.
"Ziyi, I will arrange for someone to transport the pickaxes and salt needed in the mine tomorrow, as well as the blacksmith and pig iron, and I will also arrange two for you, but these materials are produced from the government-run workshop, and they must be paid according to the market price."
"In addition, I have been prepared for the shipment of coal, and according to Ziyi's guidance, I have built a lot of coal furnaces, and when the time comes, I will help you contact buyers after you start producing coal here."
On the side, Gao Fei spoke.
This is what Lin Ze asked him to do when he inspected the mining area before.
Lin Ze nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Ziyi, then I will arrange a team of 100 soldiers to patrol the official road between Fenglin Township and Fengping County from tomorrow."
Liu Pei also promised at this time.
"Okay, a few adults, walk slowly."
Lin Ze said goodbye.
Then the three officials got up and left in a carriage.
On Lin Ze's side, he is busy with the second round.
-----------------
First of all, it is to settle the wages for the construction of coal mines.
The three engineering teams, including the manual design fee, cost Lin Ze a total of 80 taels of silver.
This price is not too expensive, after all, these masters are not only working themselves, but also commanding hundreds of young people to work, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
That is, Lin Ze just asked them to make some simple wooden houses, otherwise the project cost is estimated to be at least ten or even twenty times higher.
Then there is the wages for the many laborers to help with the work, and they have done a total of three construction periods.
There are a total of 304 people, and each person is paid 100 yuan a day.
The combined wages of these people are only 91.2 taels of silver, and the sum of so many people is only slightly higher than the wages of the great craftsmen.
Lin Ze mixed the broken silver and copper coins he brought, paid the wages to these workers, and took out all the remaining materials, so that the cook could use the remaining materials to cook a good meal for the big guys, as a celebration of the end of the project.
"Elder, I've counted here, how many young people want to come to work in my mine?"
Everyone was eating, and Lin Ze pulled Zhang Dayu, the head of Heishi Village, to ask.
"The 304 young men who helped repair the house, as well as the people we went to ask around Fenglin Township in the past few days, a total of 615 people are coming, if it weren't for the lack of physical strength of many old men like me, otherwise I would like to come to work in your mine, Master Lin."
Zhang Dayu replied.
"Okay, you tell them to come to the mine early tomorrow morning."
Lin Ze spoke.
The conversation ended here, and then Lin Ze arranged for a few family members to watch the mining area as usual, and then also embarked on the journey back to the city.
Fenglin Township is less than 18 kilometers away from Fengping County, and the speed of a horse-drawn carriage is enough to walk in less than an hour.
Although I have to come here tomorrow morning, there is no need to stay here in Fenglin Township tonight.
Besides, Lin Ze still has a lot of things to prepare.
-----------------
Return to Fengping County.
After Lin Ze ate, he bathed and changed clothes to wash off the dust on his body.
Then, I entered the study room, began to write a letter for the family to run errands, and contacted in advance the materials needed for the official start of work in the coal mine tomorrow.
In the study, the four maids stood quietly in the corner of the study, and when they saw the last family member taking the order, they immediately posted it attentively at this time, and their soft little hands helped Lin Ze knock his shoulders and pinch his back and press his hands.
"Look at your courteous appearance, are you angry with your family? There are a few people who are going to work in my coal mine. ”
Lin Ze took a sip of the teacup and placed it on the desk.
Playing with the girl's silky hair squatting at his side, he asked with a smile.
"If you go back to the master, the concubine has a total of fifteen elders, parents and brothers, as long as the master needs it, you can come."
Feihua helped Lin Ze beat his legs and said coquettishly.
"Oh, little greedy devil."
Lin Ze nodded the tip of Feihua's small nose, and neither refused nor agreed.
"Master, the concubine is indeed a little greedy."
As she spoke, Feihua rubbed Lin Ze's palm with her fair cheek, like a coquettish cat.
Xiangxue and Xia Ye, who were pressing their shoulders behind them, didn't speak, but Lin Ze felt that the two of them who were pressing their shoulders leaned forward, and there was some more weight on their heads.
One arm on the side was also held in Qiu Ge's two soft little hands.
