Chapter One Hundred and Six; Make money
Li Jiujun, the Duke of Dingguo, is a very smart person, and although he has become the left minister of the head of the hundred officials, he will never get too involved in the affairs of the court.
It is only when I have to come forward that I will come out and say a few words, and I am very low-key in doing things and being a person.
So, nominally the head of a hundred officials, in fact his approach is not like this.
Emperor Zhaowu was both helpless and satisfied with this.
Of course, it's more reassuring, and the relationship between the two is also very harmonious.
And whenever there is a more important battle, Emperor Zhaowu will also let Li Jiujun, the left minister, go out on the expedition.
"Haha, if Li Aiqing is in charge, this battle will definitely be won."
Emperor Zhaowu trusted Li Jiujun's ability very much, not to mention that Cheng Yong, the Duke of Ningguo, didn't he say that he still wanted to be a pioneer just now?
These are the two most powerful tiger generals under his command.
"Jingzhi, this time your family is Zhaode, but you have made meritorious service again."
As soon as Emperor Zhaowu's words came out, several ministers on the side looked at Huo Jingzhi in surprise.
"The emperor has won the award, what does she know as a little girl, but she just unintentionally inserted willows."
Huo Jingzhi smiled very modestly.
"Oh? Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on? ”
Fang Qiao asked curiously.
Everyone else was also curious about how this matter could have something to do with the little girl Zhaode.
Seeing that they were so curious, Emperor Zhaowu didn't hide it, and directly told the matter again.
"I didn't expect it to be like this."
"Lord Zhaode really knows the subtleties."
After understanding what had happened, the ministers were a little impressed by Huo Junyao, and at the same time they were also surprised by the intelligence and vision of this little girl.
From the price of mutton in the capital, it can be analyzed that the situation on the Turkic side is serious.
"The little girl can't afford to be praised like this by your virtuous brothers."
When he said this, Huo Jingzhi's mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears.
Seeing him like this, others also think it's funny, but envy is also really envious, look at how capable this girl is.
Huo Junyao didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court, the mountain had already been bought, and the development had to be planned during this time.
But at the moment, she doesn't have any other good projects, so she is busy sorting out the brick kiln.
The site was there, and according to her original idea, it was to get ten brick kilns out.
As for the workers, they were drawn from her five hundred eupons.
Of course, she will also give some wages to those who are sent out to work, three cents per person per day.
Don't look at it as just three cents, but in the Yu Dynasty, it can be regarded as a high salary.
No, she found the steward of Xiaohuangzhuang, and as soon as she finished speaking, the steward was excited, and looking at it like that, he seemed to want to join.
Just kidding, three wen a day, that's 90 wen a month, although he is in charge, but a month's salary is only 200 wen, and this time there is an extra 90 wen, and he is about to work for half a month.
"I've seen the situation of every household you registered before, and spring plowing can't be delayed."
"So one person from each family can be selected, and if there are few male laborers, women will be selected to cook for the workers when the time comes."
"Remember to be fair, I don't want to see any mess happen."
Her food town is 500 households, and the people are all selected by the eldest princess of Ningyang, and the minimum number of people in each household is five people.
"Little one understands, don't worry, county lord."
This steward was selected by the eldest princess of Ningyang, not only has strong ability, but also is very sincere in life and work.
"Well, you go back and notify it first, and then register all the people who are willing to do it, and send the list over, so that I can do a good job of distribution."
"Yes."
The steward stepped back, and when he returned to Xiaohuangzhuang, he immediately gathered the people in charge of each family, and when he told the matter, the big guys were very happy.
Three dollars a day, not young and old, and each family only transfers one person, and it will not delay spring ploughing.
"Is the same for the woman's salary, the steward?"
"Yes."
Everyone was even happier, and many people had already planned in their hearts to let their daughters or daughters-in-law do it when the time came, so that not only would things in the field not be delayed, but they could also make money every day.
But the next moment, the words of the steward shattered their illusions.
"The county lord said, she understands the situation of each family, this time the main thing is to need strong labor, only those families with less strong labor will transfer women, but not everyone can produce women."
As soon as he said this, there were many people with large families who were very disappointed.
But it's only for a moment, after all, the big guys have a share, and those families with a small population are only a few after all, so it's also very fair.
Soon, each family reported the people who had been transferred.
There are twelve families of five, and according to Huo Junyao, these twelve families are all women.
In addition to these five families, there are seven other families with more women, and there are also women.
That's 19 women and 481 men.
Huo Junyao, who got the list, was very satisfied.
A kiln arranges forty-eight people, don't look at this lot, in fact, in this purely artificial era, forty-eight people in a kiln is really not much.
After all, you need to make bricks by hand, and there are also firing, transporting or something.
However, there is still an extra male worker, which is a little embarrassing.
After some thought, she asked the steward to replace one male worker with a female worker, so that twenty female workers were responsible for boiling water and cooking.
Two meals a day at noon and in the afternoon, twenty people should be no problem to cook hundreds of people.
As for the steward, she didn't fall behind, so that his family had a young and strong laborer, who was responsible for buying grain and vegetables, and the salary was also three cents a day.
But then came the problem.
Five hundred and one people, no one has three cents a day, so at the end of the day, one thousand five hundred and three cents is needed, which is always five hundred and three dollars.
She only has more than ten yuan left in her hand now, and she can't pay for a few days.
"Worried, worried, how do you want to make some money first?"
At night, lying in bed, she tossed and turned.
"Miss, if you really need money, the slave has a way."
Forget Xia said suddenly.
"Oh?"
Huo Junyao immediately sat up, stared at Wu Xia with burning eyes and asked; "Tell me, what's the solution?"
"The lo-mei made by Miss is very good, have you ever thought about putting this recipe out?"
"You mean, sell the recipe to those big restaurants in the capital?"
Just thinking about it slightly, Huo Junyao's eyes immediately lit up.
This thing is good, she can take out it at the moment, there are two recipes, lo-mei and bean sprouts.
As for the tofu, it has been spread out, and as for the hot pot, there are no chili peppers in other places at present, and there is no way to sell them.
"In this way, Red Sleeves, you can bring some lo-mei tomorrow, and bean sprouts to those restaurants in the capital and ask if anyone wants to buy them."
"Okay miss, just how much do you want to sell?"
Hearing this, Huo Junyao pondered for a moment and shook his head; "I don't know, you go to each house and ask first, see how much price they can offer, write them down one by one, and then I'll see how much the price is appropriate."
