Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 844 The Model of Shengyuan Dairy Industry

The two continued to move forward one after the other. Qian Mu walked forward with his hands behind his back while carefully observing the people and things he saw. As far as he could see, everyone's faces were filled with confidence, optimism, contentment, and gratitude. The expressions mixed with various emotions, no one showed negative emotions such as inferiority, numbness, depression, etc. It can be seen that they are extremely satisfied with the current situation.

"If all the people of the Ming Dynasty could do this, what kind of scene would it be like? There must be no one who has come before! The strong man and the Tang Dynasty have never had such a grand scene!

This should be the purpose of my coming here, and it should also be the vision that the palace most hopes to achieve!
If I can play a part in it, when I get old in the future, I will be extremely proud when I recall this experience! "

What he saw in front of him made Qian Mu's imagination run wild. Before he knew it, the two climbed up another gentle slope. After standing still, a lively scene came into view.

"Mr. Qian, please look!

A lake is being excavated here, and it is expected to be completed in April and May next year. After the mountain spring water and rainwater are filled, the farm will buy various fish fry and put them in it. Drinking water for cows, horses, pigs, chickens and ducks is also much more convenient, and there is no need for more Deep wells are drilled, and the fry can be caught and sold when they grow up, adding more income to the market.

His Highness also ordered that after the lake is completed, peaches, plums, apricot plows and other seasonal fruit trees will be planted on the opposite hillside, and manpower will be arranged to irrigate with lake water nearby. If there is more production, fruit wine can be brewed, which will be another income, haha! "

Li Daniu pointed at the lake being excavated and the grass-covered hillside on the other side, like a general who is commanding thousands of troops to fight, his tone is full of boldness and confidence, and he looks forward to a better life in the future Qian Muji was surprised and puzzled by this state of expectation and longing.

It has only been less than two hours since I met Li Daniu in the morning, but this man from a low-level peasant family has left a deep impression on him.

In terms of his status, he is just a farm steward. Although he is working for His Royal Highness Princess Daming, this position is not an official position, not a high-ranking eunuch in the palace.

According to common sense, when dealing with a person of status and rank like myself, he would involuntarily be reduced to a servant, but from the beginning to the present, this manager Li has never been inferior to that person in his conversation and demeanor. With a humble attitude, he has always communicated and talked with himself in an equal manner. His words are both peaceful and simple, but without losing the elegant demeanor, which makes people feel no discomfort.

Li Daniu's words and deeds seem to have gone far beyond the status quo of Ming Dynasty society. The mentality of treating people as equals seems to come from another world. This is very similar to the kind of Datong world in Qian Mu's mind. I am very interested in where I am now,
What kind of environment and soil can breed a character like Li Daniu?

What does the mysterious Princess Daming want to do with the business under her name?

It's getting late, Mr. Qian must be hungry, right?Let's have lunch first, and then Mr. Qian can go back to have a rest. In the afternoon, I will pick him up and show him the status of other properties in the market! "

Unknowingly, it was nearly noon, and a crisp bell rang. The men, women, and children who were working in the field stopped their hands one after another, and after a brief tidying up, they gathered in twos and threes, laughing and playing, from all directions to a huge building. Li Daniu led the way, followed by Qian Mu, and the two followed more and more people to the wooden building.

"This is the canteen of the factory. All 230 and five workers in the factory can have three meals a day here. Each person only needs to pay two renminbi a month. Workers who have families and start businesses can also take their meals home to eat!"

Li Daniu greeted the workers cordially with a smile and introduced to Qian Mu.

"There are more than two hundred people eating here, and they still have three meals a day, and they can take them home. The monthly payment of money is not a small amount. Is it too little for each person to pay only two silver coins? If this is the case Doesn’t the annual profit of the venue have to take out a large sum of money for this?”

Although Qian Mu was born in a family and had no concept of housekeeping, after a few years of contact with the people's livelihood, he also knew that the expenses of Shengdou Xiaomin were basically food and clothing, which was a big deal. Shengyuan Dairy's move saved a lot of expenses for the workers , this kind of practice is only done in the court yamen, and it has never been heard of before.

Now whether it is a shop or a workshop, the employees take their meals with them from their own homes. No shop or workshop owner has ever treated their employees so kindly. This method of Shengyuan Dairy Industry is the first in history. Your Majesty, Qian Mu, who has a strong sympathy for the common people, is secretly relieved, but at the same time, he can't help sighing for the generosity and kindness of the eldest princess.

"His Royal Highness once said that the reason why she opened the shop was to allow more hard-working people to live a better life. After checking the accounts at the end of last year, [-]% of the money earned by the shop in a year was used for workers' salaries. There are other allowances, if I hadn't persuaded you hard, His Highness would have distributed the remaining money to everyone!
Wait a minute, Mr. Qian, I'll go get dinner! "

While speaking, Li Daniu led Qian Mu to sit down in a box separated by a curtain, and then he lifted the curtain and went outside. Qian Mu sat on the stool and waited quietly, listening to the men, women and children who were eating outside talking, laughing and chatting, and felt in his heart. Thinking about whether the model of Shengyuan Dairy is feasible to promote in Daming.

After a while, the curtain was opened again, Li Daniu was holding a wooden tray in front, and a pretty girl was holding the same tray behind, and the two entered the box one after the other.

"Xiao Wan, put the plate on the table, you go eat, and go to rest for a while after eating, and you have to go to the night market to set up a stall in the evening, don't be too tired!"

Li Daniu sat down and said to the girl with a smile.

"I'm not tired! But Brother Li should persuade His Highness not to go to the night market in person at night. Your Highness is really tired after running around all day!"

The girl put a plate full of several dishes and food in front of Qian Mu and replied with a smile.

"to make!

If I have time, I will persuade Your Highness well!You go and get busy! "

Li Daniu didn't introduce who the visitor was to Qian Mu, but just talked with the girl in a relaxed and natural tone. After the girl smiled and agreed, she gave Qian Mu a blessing and then turned and left.

"Mr. Qian, come, come and taste the food in our cafeteria!"
