Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 633, A Different New Year
Everyone in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area knew that Liu Jin was extremely generous to his subordinates.

Many industries under his command have made money, and it is not ordinary money.

Liu Jin is very satisfied, and other owners are also very satisfied, and they also agree with Liu Jin's management. If you want the horse to run fast, you must have enough food for the horse.

So at the end of the year, the year-end bonus is also very generous.

The year-end bonuses of various industries are also calculated one after another. Everyone's face is filled with smiles. Even ordinary employees at the bottom can get the year-end bonus of Yuexiang for about three months.

The industries under Liu Jin's command have always been the benchmark for emerging capitalists in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, so everyone has followed Liu Jin's example, and they all know that Liu Jin has a way of management.

So at the end of the year, the most discussed topic in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area is the year-end award.

How many year-end bonuses has been paid out by whoever in this house, and how much has been paid out by that so-and-so.

If you don’t get the year-end bonus, or if you get too little, people will despise the safekeeping, which invisibly puts pressure on the emerging capitalists and businessmen.

Even if many capitalists like Grandet don’t want to petition again, they still have to express it appropriately, unless you don’t want to open factories or workshops next year.

In Daming, even the servants in the family have to pay a certain amount of money every month. It doesn't mean that the servants don't need to pay at all, let alone the hired workers.

If you give less, or don't give, the impact will be great. If you get a bad reputation, you will not be able to recruit people in the future, and everyone will despise you and don't want to do business with you.

Reputation is a very important thing, and it is also something that everyone values ​​very much.

Therefore, in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, even though many employers are not happy, they have to follow suit. The year-end bonus must be given out, and it is more or less meaningful.

What's more, in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, everyone really made money, and everyone made a lot of money.

Whether it is doing ocean trade, or opening factories, workshops, or opening shops, restaurants, etc., they all make money and their voices are hot.

If you make money, give out some year-end bonuses, and everyone will be happy.

Under such an atmosphere, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area is also beginning to be immersed in the joy of the festival.

With a money bag in her waist, Erniang Sun walked slowly on the streets of the west city outside the capital, preparing to buy some new year's goods for the new year.

"There's rice, there's rice, there's a good Daming in Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it only costs five cents a catty~"

"Rice, rice, Siamese rice from Siam in Nanyang, delicious and cheap, only four pennies a catty~"

The first thing to buy, of course, is food.

All kinds of yelling came and went in a place where grain was sold.

There are many types of rice, and the rice from Huguang, Jiangnan, and Guangdong is not considered fresh. Now there are also a lot of rice from the Nanyang region, and the key is that it is still very cheap.

This reminded Sun Erniang of the time when she first came to the capital a few years ago.

It was also winter at that time, her man fell ill and died, and she couldn't open the pot at home. She brought her son to the capital for the winter, and was going to beg for food in the capital.

The winter that year was very cold, very cold, and there were so many people who came to the capital to spend the winter that they were not allowed to enter the city. She was a woman with a baby who was still in its infancy.

Without food or drink, cold and hungry, he was about to starve to death and freeze to death under the walls of the capital.

At that time, she met Liu Jin, Mr. Liu, who founded Xishan Coal Industry, gave her a job, and also gave a job to many refugees, giving everyone hope to live.

She still remembers that the price of grain was very expensive at that time, and a catty of rice cost more than ten yuan. In the second year, because of the heavy snow, there was a famine in the three northern provinces, and the price of grain rose to two hundred at the highest. A pound of text is still moldy and rotten.

Thinking about that time, and looking at the present, Sun Erniang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

For a few years, she has been cooking for the big guys at Xishan Coal Industry, and her salary has also increased every year. Now she can get a monthly salary of nearly four taels of silver as a woman. It is the Chinese New Year, and the year-end bonus Twelve taels of silver were paid all at once.

She is very satisfied with her current life.

There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and the children have already gone to school. The school for the children of employees of Xishan Coal Industry does not require tuition fees.

"Mr. Liu is better. Without her, we wouldn't have the life we ​​have now."

Sun Erniang said Liu Jin and Mr. Liu again, and silently prayed in her heart that he would live a long life.

"Boss, here is a hundred catties of Nanyang Siam rice, can you deliver it home?"

Sun Erniang pulled back her thoughts and asked the boss.

"Okay, okay, no problem, you leave an address, and I'll have the guy deliver it later."

The owner of the grain store has a very good service attitude. It is not the former grain merchants. Those core grain merchants in the past can no longer do business.

"Okay, just send it to 8, Building 303, Xishan Coal Industry Workers' Dormitory Area, just at the door."

Sun Erniang said with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out that you are my own person, so I will charge you five cents less. My brother also works in Xishan Coal Industry, so I am my own person, so I will pay you less."

As soon as the boss heard this, he immediately gave another [-] Wen a discount.

"Thank you so much~"

"It should be, it should be, my shop is all supported by us Xishan people, I can't forget my origin."

"..."

After chatting with the boss for a few words, leaving money to buy rice, Sun Erniang continued to stroll.

The current capital city is not only the most central capital city, but also extremely large towns have developed in all directions of the capital city.

Among them, the west side is mainly based on the Xicheng built by the original Xishan Coal Industry.

Well, this west city was also built by Liu Jin's Beijing professional. A large number of houses, shops, communities, blocks, etc. were built in this area. The houses were mainly sold to employees of Xishan Coal Industry and Beijing Glass Factory.

So here in Xicheng, many people who open shops and do business are relatives of employees of Xishan Coal Industry and Jingcheng Glass Factory, and they are all acquaintances.

Don’t worry about doing things. After you pay, you don’t have to worry about them missing your goods, shoddy goods, etc. You can just go home and wait for the goods to be delivered without worry.

"The meat is sold, the meat is sold~"

"The best grassland mutton is very cheap, only eight cents a catty~"

"Fatty pork two feet thick, only ten cents a catty~"

"Sea fish, fresh sea fish, sea fish just arrived in the morning, all kinds of sea fish are available, very cheap, big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker only cost five cents a catty, and whale meat only costs nine cents a catty. Whale meat is similar to beef, don’t miss it when you pass by.”

"It's beef, it's beef, it's the best grassland beef, it only costs ten cents a catty~"

Soon, Erniang Sun came to the meat stand area. There are many kinds of meat, not to mention the common chicken, duck and fish. There are also a lot of beef, mutton, and pork that I couldn't afford before, and the price is still low. Very cheap.

Of course, the cheapest is the sea fish shipped from Tianjin. All kinds of sea fish are cheap, and the business is very hot.

"Boss, cut two catties of mutton, and another catty of pork~"

Sun Erniang is also very generous in buying meat, meat is cheap, of course the key is that her income is quite good now, her son Wen Wen likes to eat meat, and she sells some meat back every day.

Eating meat was really far away for her in the past, but it is different now, she can eat meat every day, even every meal is no problem, at least sea fish is affordable, and There are enough sea fish.

After buying these regular food, Sun Erniang also started to look at other things.

There are concrete roads between Beijing and Tianjin, which is very convenient, and because of the rise of maritime trade, Tianjin's ocean transportation is also extremely developed.

Relying on waterways, the entire Ming Dynasty, and even things from Japan, Korea, and Nanyang are constantly appearing in the eyes of the people of Ming Dynasty.

The rice from the Nanyang region is delicious and cheap; the cattle, sheep and horses from the grasslands are fat and fat, and the price of the horses is low, which is an important transportation capacity.

Korean ginseng, rice, Korean horses, and kimchi from North Korea are cheap and of good quality, which greatly enriches everyone’s dining table. Relying on convenient water transportation, these things are also continuously transported back to Daming, and come to the common people of Daming in the store.

Cane sugar from Ryukyu, fur, ginseng and velvet from Liaodong, tea from Jiangnan and Fujian, prickly ash and bacon from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan...

It can be said that the things in the whole world have gathered here in the Beijing-Tianjin area through this increasingly convenient and developed waterway transportation, and the supplies are extremely rich.

This is the most intuitive feeling of people in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area.

As long as you have money, you can buy things from all over the world in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and even ordinary people can enjoy things that they couldn't buy before.

This is the advantage of developed shipping. Daming also has two great rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which run through the east and west. Relying on these two great rivers, it can reach almost every province in the interior of Daming.

In the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, there are too many, too many people like Sun Erniang, who are immersed in a happy life of high income and low prices at this moment.

　Hehe~ It's finally finished~
