Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 217 Purchasing Power

The sea breeze was cold, and the air was mixed with this unbearable cold. After Zhu Changyuan arranged for 200 people to cross the sea, they walked along the cement road towards the location of the office road.

The winter is cold, and the north wind howls, blowing on the face like a knife, but the workers on Riyue Island are full of energy in the face of the bitter cold wind, and none of them slack off.

Because the holy general on the island has just issued an order: All workers who work will start earning money to support themselves from today onwards. If they work, they will have food to eat and even have surplus food. If they don’t work, they will starve to death.

"Tell me, how did the Holy General set our wages for us? How much is it for a day?" A young man with a thin figure but a clever appearance didn't forget to inquire about the wages when he was working. .

"I don't know for sure, but some people have heard from Director Yan that how much each worker is paid for a day. I don't understand. If you work for three days, you will be paid one yuan. If you don't rest for a month, you can earn ten yuan. Woolen cloth."

"Ten yuan, I have heard of this, but how much is this ten yuan? How can I exchange it for silver?" The young man asked again.

"Why do you care so much?" The man next to him interrupted the young man's question and said in a low voice, "I don't know how much you can buy with ten yuan, but I heard that the highest salary on the island is Chief Yan Da It’s only 20 yuan, so I thought, how can ten yuan buy ten stones of rice.”

"That's a lot. Ten stone meters..."

Zhu Changyuan passed by those two quietly, deliberately slowing down his pace, wanting to hear the workers' opinions on his management system.

I just heard the fat man say: "You don't know. I heard people say that apart from Manager Yan and Director Zhu, the wages of skilled workers are also high. They can get fifteen or sixteen yuan for a month's work, and they can even work overtime. 18 yuan."

"18 yuan, that's a lot." The young man asked fascinatedly, "I also want to become a skilled worker, and when I earn enough money, I will go out and buy a wife, but Brother Li, what is this a skilled worker? "

"Hehe, I have to tell you slowly. The so-called skilled workers are those who know how to pull wires, and those who can carry instruments to look around the mountains and plains. There is also Captain Jiang who knows how to build. Anyway, to put it bluntly, they have a skill of."

After the man next to him finished speaking, the young man said: "Oh, so I am also a skilled worker. Before I was a soldier, I cut wood and burned charcoal in the mountains. Does that count?"

"Pfft, bah!" Brother Li said, "What kind of skilled worker is charcoal burning? Don't worry about those crooked ways in your mind. Work hard. Work hard this month. When I get paid next month, I'll buy a few thick ones first." Wear clothes, you didn’t see, those clothes in the island store, hey, they are really thick, even if you think about it, it’s not cold.”

When Li Ge said this, the young man's longing was shattered immediately, his face was downcast, and he was about to complain, when he suddenly heard someone whispering from behind: "The Holy General, the Holy General is here."

"Meet the Holy General!"

Some people began to bow down to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan smiled and nodded, and said: "You all work very hard. Brother Li is right. The weather is getting colder. Work hard to earn wages. When the wages are paid, you can sell them in the shops on the island. clothes for the winter, and besides clothes, there are also rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables and meat." After brazenly selling, he looked at the young man who claimed to be a skilled worker and asked, "What's your name?"

"I, my name, back to the Holy General, my humble name is Tiangao." Seeing that the Holy General was talking to himself, Tiangao was so excited that he couldn't even utter a word, and he felt a little small in his heart. nervous.

"Don't be afraid." Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and said, "You said just now that you know how to burn charcoal?"

"Yes, General!" Tiangao knelt down, kowtowed a few heads and said, "The little one burned charcoal in the mountains before he became a soldier, so the little one was reckless just now, and he slipped his tongue and said that he was a skilled worker. ,It is really..."

"It's okay, you stand up and talk." Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said, "Charcoal burning is also a technical job, and not everyone can do it well. As long as you know the technology, we at Sun Moon Island will put it to good use." After finishing speaking, facing the crowd The worker who came up said loudly: "On our Sun Moon Island, as long as they have made contributions to the island, they are all good citizens, and they will be protected by the army and gods on the island, regardless of whether they are male or female."

"General, General!"

"Long live the general."

"Long live!"

. . .

Someone actually shouted long live, Zhu Changyuan was startled when he heard it, and then smiled slowly.

From this point of view, at least some of the residents on these islands have changed their beliefs through these consecutive times of sharp weapons. In their hearts, Riyue Island and Zhu Changyuan are at least as equal as the Ming Dynasty.

This is a good sign.

Zhu Changyuan was very happy, and said to Tiangao: "Go to Chief Manager Yan Hongyan, and tell him that I let you go, and ask him for some manpower and tools, and go to the mountains to organize charcoal burning. You may do it." ?”

"Yes!" Tiangao made a military salute with his feet together, and said, "I know how to burn charcoal since I was a child, so I guarantee that I can complete the task."

Charcoal burning is just a simple process, and its procedure is not complicated. As long as there are skilled workers taking the lead, there is no difficulty.

"Ah."

"The general." Tiangao said a little embarrassedly: "Then am I considered a skilled worker?"

"Forget it, forget it!" Zhu Changyuan knew what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "The wages of skilled workers are high, fifty cents a day, 15 yuan a month."

After finishing speaking, he fumbled out an electronic speaker from the system and said to the workers: "I know what you are worried about? Don't worry, I can tell you in advance. For example, a full-time skilled worker pays 15 yuan a month, which is enough for five people. The basic living expenses of the family. Maybe you don’t understand what 15 yuan is. Hundred catties."

Just after Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, the people below were completely overwhelmed. Five hundred catties of rice would not be enough for a family of five to eat in a month. If we saved a little, it would be enough food for half a year, and it was only one month's wages. , if it is a year.

After Zhu Changyuan left the scene, the workers communicated with each other and began to calculate their own calculations.

After entering the office and sitting down, Gu Changzuo ran over in a hurry. When he saw Zhu Changyuan, he saluted first, then bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the general has become more and more powerful."

Mighty ass.

No wonder this old boy can do business abroad, he is also a master at observing words and demeanor and flattering people.

Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, sit down quickly." Then he ordered his servants to pour a cup of tea for Gu Changzuo, looked at him and said, "Mr. Gu has been here on Riyue Island for a while, right?"

"Yes, general." Gu Changzuo looked at Zhu Changyuan, shook his head and smiled, and said: "Living on the island for a few days, Gu is already reluctant to think about Sichuan. I didn't know that the general has such talents for governing the country. Throughout the ages, how many Confucian scholars The world of Great Harmony, which the sages have longed for for a long time, is actually in the general's fiefdom, if the news spreads, I don't know how many people will come to pay a visit."

"Hehehe." Zhu Changyuan laughed happily, and said, "What Mr. Gu saw today is just the tip of the iceberg. When Sun Moon Island is completed, everyone will be a wealthy family, and there will be no poor people on the island."

"Moreover, I keep it. Starting today, if Mr. Gu comes to buy goods frequently in the future, he will definitely be able to witness the changes and development of my Sun Moon Island every time."

"The old man will wait and see." Gu Changzuo finished with a smile, "It's just that there is one thing that is quite inconvenient." While talking, he took out a folded white paper from his trouser pocket, unfolded it for Zhu Changyuan, smiled wryly, and said : "The old man can't live on the island for more than three days. Therefore, every three days, he must be driven to the sea by the island's law enforcement team, and then come back and apply for a new certificate. It's quite troublesome!"

Zhu Changyuan saw the three big characters "Temporary Residence Permit" written on the white paper, laughed, and said: "The rules on the island are like this, there is no exception." He took out a white paper from his pocket and handed it to Gu Changzuo, saying: "Look at me, sir."

Gu Changzuo took it over and unfolded it. It was a household registration certificate. He was surprised and said: "With the general's status in Shendao, is it still necessary?".

"Yes, since it is a regulation, there is no exception. I will also need a household registration certificate." After finishing speaking, he smiled again and said: "The legal affairs on the island are not yet complete. When Mr. comes next time, our With the introduction of the immigration policy, you can accept Mr. to enter the island for a long-term stay according to the conditions, and then Ben will personally serve as your guarantor for you.”

"Okay!" Gu Changzuo chuckled.

At the beginning, it was just a casual exchange of pleasantries, but the main event was later.

Gu Changzuo took a sip of tea, then frowned and said, "Sun Moon Island hangs alone overseas, who would have thought that it would be a paradise on earth, a paradise on earth? This trip on the island is really worthy of this life."

"In the general's warehouse and shop, what I have seen and heard is unprecedented." Gu Changzuo was full of emotion, and he was naturally very curious about where these things came from. However, he is an old fox who has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years. Naturally know what to ask and what not to ask.

What's more, hearing and witnessing all kinds of miraculous things about Zhu Changyuan told by the people on the island also made him a little suspicious, and thought to himself: Is this Zhu Changyuan really descended from the gods?

Although he didn't quite believe it, once this idea appeared, it grew like spring grass.

"For example, the thermos bottle in the General's store is simply, simply unimaginable." Gu Changzuo picked up the teacup in his hand, pointed to the tea in it, and said, "I tried it myself, poured boiling water into it and kept it for a day and a night. Its heat loss is only one-twelfth, which is simply amazing."

"There is also that bicycle. Although it is not very useful, if it can enter the market, it will definitely attract wealthy people from all over the world to rush to buy it."

When Gu Changzuo said this, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly and thought to himself: This appetizer is finally here.
