Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 129 Human Resources
When Pei Daoxuan heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least this paragraph was over.

However, Li Tai didn't let Fei Daoxuan go so quickly, more precisely, he didn't intend to let Honglu Temple go so quickly.

I let Honglu Temple join in so that Honglu Temple can guarantee the transportation of labor. If it can't even do this, then what is Honglu Temple joining in for?

You are so noble, it makes it difficult for me to deal with it!

Li Tai thought of this, and said to Fei Daoxuan: "We need a lot of labor before the entire Zheng Baiqu can be renovated.

You should react to Honglu Temple. If there is really no other way, you can directly contact the nobles of East Turkic.

Didn't Aye seal a lot of officials some time ago, and now give them a chance to make contributions to Datang. "

"Does the King of Yue want to directly seek labor from the nobles of the Eastern Turks?" Fei Daoxuan asked in a daze,

"They are from the same line. I'm afraid they will refuse such an inhumane thing!"

"Inhumane? No!" Li Tai looked at Fei Dao Xuandao, "For those nobles from Eastern Turks, we will pay the referral fee on a head-to-head basis, don't they spend money in Chang'an?
For the people at the bottom of the Eastern Turks, we provided food and housing, and we also sent people to teach them Chinese.

No matter where you look at it, this is my merciful way of spending money to educate! "

"King Yue, what you said is very reasonable, I don't know how to refute it for a while!" Fei Daoxuan opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

To be honest, he really didn't think this plan could be implemented, because would the Turks betray the Turks like this?
But the reality is that Turkic society is still a semi-feudal and semi-primitive tribe.

For Turkic tribal owners, many Turkic people under him are more about their wealth than their people.

For many Turkic tribal owners, if they can cash out their population, this will naturally become a choice for them.

The main reason is that the Turkic Jieli Khan and a group of ministers were arrested by Li Jing, and Li Shimin relatively enlightened canonized these Turkic aliens.

Therefore, many nobles from the Eastern Turks also ran towards Datang.

One thing that must be explained is that such a semi-slave and semi-feudal Turkic tribe, not to mention patriotic education, even nationalism, which has been condemned by modern times, was definitely regarded as a beacon of thought in the sixth century. .

But it is a pity that for the East Turkic people, seeing that Datang did not take the initiative to be a dog is already very nationalistic.

Therefore, as long as the people of Eastern Turks can come to Chang'an, it is actually not very difficult to naturalize them.

What Li Tai hopes most is that Honghe Temple can let go of its literati airs, because holding this thing can't make money.

But obviously, even if Tang Jian agrees to form an alliance with Li Tai, if he is really asked to trade labor with the people of Honglu Temple, for Honglu Temple, which has always put etiquette first, it still needs a person to fully adapt. process.

"Okay, then I won't interfere with what you Honglu Temple does.

But if the project is slow due to lack of labor, then don't push this matter on me.

At the end of every month, we will ask you Honglu Temple to prepare foreign labor according to the construction status of Zheng Baiqu. You only need to complete this task! "Li Tai couldn't help but said.

"Follow the order!" Hearing this, Fei Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least this time the level was over!

And Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou, and said, "The entire Zhengbai Canal renovation project involves the redevelopment of three canals. Not only labor, but also craftsmen are needed. How much is the gap? How are the preparations going?"

"Ten master craftsmen and a hundred professional craftsmen have been transferred from the Ministry of Water." Ma Zhou replied, "It can only be said that if we want to renovate the Zhengguo Canal, no number of craftsmen will be enough. It's just that the court craftsmen perform their duties. It can be arranged at will."

"Then recruit folks!" Li Tai thought for a while, and pressed his temple.

"Folk people? Are there any outstanding craftsmen among the people? Even if there are, how much will we have to pay to recruit them!" Jia Dunyi said at this time.

Jia Dunyi was originally pardoned by Li Shimin because of his official business, and he was going to be sent to Yingzhou as the governor.

But it happened that Gaoling needed someone who was upright and understood water conservancy engineering, so Jia Dunyi was sent here.

His role is more like that of supervising the army, mainly to confirm that Li Tai is really renovating Zheng Baiqu.

This is not a constraint, but procedural justice.

"Indeed!" Li Tai nodded and said, "If you spend money, not to mention that these folk craftsmen may not be able to use their lives, what is more important is that the money and food in our hands are not too much. If you spend money on everything, the expenditure will be a little Big!"

Jia Dunyi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and the other envoys from the Ministry of Water couldn't help rubbing their ears.

As for Ma Zhou, he covered his face. It was obvious that King Yue had committed another old problem. He always instinctively wanted to save costs as much as possible, and if he had no money, he hoped that others would take the initiative to fill it with his life.

But Li Tai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his habits. After all, it was good to do the work by himself. The resources he saved by relying on his own ability would be a big deal, and he would just need to invest more in the next project.

"Then, King Yue, what do you want to do!" Du Chuke, who has now become the Prime Minister of Gaoling County, looked calm and surprised?nonexistent.

In terms of how to reduce costs and how to further allocate resources, I just need to be the tool of Yue Wang.

Li Tai looked at Shuling Shi of the Ministry of Industry, and said,

"Go back to the Ministry of Industry and ask Duan Shangshu if you can carry out an assessment of folk master craftsmen. The purpose is to recruit folk master craftsmen and reserve talents for the country!
As for the method of assessment, let folk craftsmen follow us to renovate Zhengguo Canal, use practice to assess these craftsmen, and select the masters among them!
Even if the craftsmen among them are just here to fish in troubled waters, but after the craftsman assessment is completed, they will become the backbone! "

"This matter, I will return to Chang'an to report to Duan Shangshu immediately tomorrow, and I will give a reply in seven days at the earliest!"

When the people from the Ministry of Industry heard Li Tai's words, they immediately stood up and said to Li Tai.

"Seven days is too short. I'll be safe after the meeting. I don't like to procrastinate. I just need to report back in three days!" Li Tai thought for a while and said,
"In addition, I already have a detailed plan, you just hand it over to Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

After all, this matter needs to be carried out as soon as possible. Many places can be conquered by manpower, but in many places, it still depends on the skills mastered by the master! "

"Follow the order!" The secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Ling Shi, quickly answered and lowered his head to record.

Li Tai was very satisfied with Shu Lingshi's attitude, so Bai He handed over his plan to Shu Lingshi.

As for whether Duan Lun is willing to cooperate with him in the future, it depends on Duan Lun's affairs.

Of course, if Duan Lun is willing to cooperate, then his plan of recruiting master craftsmen from the private sector to reserve talents for the state can naturally be passed on to the whole country.

Regardless of the authority or the breadth of information, they are actually not as good as those supported by the Ministry of Industry.

"Let's talk about manpower." Li Tai turned his attention to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and said to Hao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs,

"The next thing is to need food support from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If you want to renovate Zhengbaiqu, you need food support. How much material can the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocate for this project every month?"

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs plans to allocate corn and pickles that can feed 1 people in the first year." Hao replied to Li Tai.

"Well, it's not bad to have corn and pickles for 1 people!" Li Tai nodded, and then said,
"I need to add a few points, this time to renovate Zhengbaiqu, the first thing is to divide the workers into three shifts, even in the dark, even if they hold torches, they still have to do the work.

Life is too long, I only seize the day and night, and I don't have so much time to waste. "

"But if this is the case, no matter whether they are from the Tang Dynasty or from the local area, these common people participating in corvee labor will not be able to bear it!"

Jia Dunyi said that his existence is to stop some of Li Tai's orders that are eager for quick success or inappropriate.

"Divide the corvee team into three shifts, each team works for four hours, and then divide the meal into four meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner." Li Tai said here, looking at Hao Mou, "The 1 you said People's corn and pickles are two meals!"

"Exactly!" Hearing Li Tai's decision, Hao shook his head and said to Li Tai, "King Yue, four meals a day is too extravagant.

Maybe you don't know, but a large part of the people are invisible in the dark.

If you let them work at night, the efficiency may not be high! "

"You mean the bird is blindfolded!" Li Tai replied to Hao, and then looked at Wang Zhenru, who was in charge of the Gaoling corvee.

"The corvees in Gaoling are not blindfolded!" Wang Zhenru came forward and said, "In the past few years, we only need to eat three meals a day, eat more chicken, duck liver and eggs, and Sun Shenxian also prescribed a cure, so the corvees in Gaoling have no sparrows. Blindfolded."

It can be said that after Li Chunfeng left, Wang Zhenru became the master of Gaoling corvee.

He is a guy who likes to calculate, but also likes to be more realistic. What he likes most is to make a fuss about all kinds of data of Gaoling corvee. He doesn't understand many things why such things happen, but he will give himself a satisfaction by relying on the data. answer.

"Even if the corvees in Gaoling are not blindfolded, other alien races and common people are also blindfolded!"

Although Hao was surprised that Gaoling's corvee could be solved even blindfolded, he still insisted on his own.

After all, this is to let these people work, and the black lights can't see anything, so it's impossible for them to wave around with tools.

Under such circumstances, the corvee in Gaoling cannot be carried out like this because it is not blindfolded!

"Small things!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "This is not a war, it's just a matter of letting the common people get used to it."

"The King of Yue, if you really follow the four meals a day you said, the extra cost..." Seeing what Li Tai said, Hao didn't say more, but looked at Li Tai with some embarrassment. The meaning, of course, is that everyone can see clearly.

"Gao Ling will bear this amount of grain!" Li Tai said, "Don't worry about the cost of these grains. When the Zheng Baiqu is fully built, the rewards will be far richer than these grains!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone present couldn't help curling their lips.

To be honest, who doesn't know that Zheng Baiqu's development will benefit a lot.

The problem is, despite the fact that the people here can almost represent the attitude of the entire imperial court, family and clan.

But if they were asked to pay, no matter which organization it was, it would be absolutely worthless.

Of course, this is also common sense. Once anything is institutionalized, the organization will continue to be rational and pursue profits under normal circumstances.

After all, for the organization, they are responsible for the whole, and unless the whole is all dramatists, it is rare for the whole to be irrational.

Of course, mental retardation sometimes occurs as a whole. After all, mental retardation is contagious if it is said to be contagious.

At this moment, everyone naturally blamed Li Tai for the reason. One of the most important points was that Li Tai had deducted a lot of money from a wealthy family.

Therefore, even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs could afford the entire project, it still treated Li Tai with a superficial attitude.

After all, to put it bluntly, this money is not spent in Li Tai's hands, everyone is jealous!

But in fact, Li Tai's money has already been spent.

It's just that various factories were built in the Zhengbaiqu area, and the Zhengbaiqu area provided the needed materials.

After all, for things like materials, if you go out to buy them yourself and pay for them, even Li Tai can't afford the money.

However, building the factory building by ourselves and transporting materials through Gaoling’s ships can basically solve the material problems of the entire project above nine floors, and the remaining problems can also be adjusted according to the fine adjustments in the construction process, and the full material system can be gradually completed. .

At that time, if the craftsman assessment plan is implemented, what will be left will be the most worthless labor costs in the feudal era, as well as the time it takes to consume. At that time, it will depend on the efficiency of Honglu Temple.

Anyway, I was idle and idle. Every time I went to Chang'an, I went to urge Honglu Temple. If I wanted to urge a few more times, Tang Jian should be able to let go of his morals and really devote himself to the lucrative labor transportation industry.

In this case, he can earn a little money for the whole Zhengbaiqu project, and he can take a step out of Guanzhong.

"Besides, since it is a project, there must be danger!" Li Tai looked at Liu Shenwei and said,
"I need to dispatch almost [-] doctors in the hospital. When entering this project, not only people from other races will be mixed, but also people from our Tang Dynasty. A large number of people will gather disorderly. If you are not careful, some diseases will spread. Prevention and treatment as soon as possible! Moreover, the project of repairing the canal itself may cause various unexpected troubles, and it also requires medical camps to treat them."

"I understand that when the project starts, the hospital will send people to the project!" Liu Shenwei assured.
