Villager of Daming

Chapter 802 Economic Organization Between Society

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Wang Yiqian's words and came to the kitchen. This was not a simple kitchen on an ordinary construction site. The craftsmen were afraid of the dust and built a specially built house.

Moreover, the entire industrial zone is not one canteen. Twelve canteens have been built based on the principle of proximity to save time on walking for meals.

"So many noodles?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw some things in the open canteen, the most conspicuous ones were the noodles.

Now it is called dried noodles, but in the past it was called mustard noodles, which are very thin. Later, they were named according to the production method.

To make noodles, roll the noodles into thin strips and hang them up. A wooden or bamboo pole is used to lower them down, and the noodles are all connected.

As it hangs up and falls, it becomes thinner and thinner. Finally, it is dried and cooked before eating. The name of the noodles is hanging noodles.

Hollow noodles are also easy to make. Use a chopstick, which is a round stick, and place it in the middle of the noodles, then pull it out and hang the noodles on a pole. After it falls, the center will be empty.

But the noodles in front of me are different. They are not round, but flat like bamboo strips.

Chen Ning, the censor doctor, had something to say again: "How to make flat noodles?"

The representatives at the construction site glanced at him, but no one answered, "Who is it?"For what?do not know.

Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied, yes, just knowing us is enough: "Yiqian, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, we have no place to make noodles in the industrial area here. We make our own equipment. There is a noodle press in the village. We make big ones, connect them to the power of the steam engine, directly press them into sheets, then cut them into the current shape, and then put them in into the dryer.”

Wang Yiqian replied at this time, it's very simple, if everyone who does this job can't handle this matter well, why do they get so much wages?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, we have to solve the problem ourselves. Oops! It's such a big basin, and the whole basin is full of egg sauce?"

He saw a basin as big as used for washing clothes, made of steel, filled with a basin full of egg sauce.

"Your Majesty, there are also meat sauce, dried cowpea sauce, and pickles made with the same craftsmanship as Jubiqi.

For the sake of convenience, we ate the noodles, poured some cold water over them, scooped out the sauce and mixed it with the food, and then had a plate of dry soy sauce that was easy to preserve and we were full.

Waiting to change after work, if you don’t eat this, you have to have stews and stir-fries. We take a two-day break during the Chinese New Year, and then continue working.

Why stay at home all day when you have nothing else to do?They all live in an industrial area. If they have unfinished work, they just work when they go out! "

Wang Yiqian said it was natural that craftsmen like them could only stay at home without going to work, and they had no relatives to go to.

In the past, I worked very hard for time. I worked fifteen or six hours a day, eating as hard as I could, taking a shower, and going home to fall asleep.

Now that I'm done, I work three shifts and have a lot of free time to study and rest, and I can't sleep anymore.

My daughter-in-law has something to do, and if there are elderly people at home, she can do some simple handicrafts, weave a basket or something, and the children can play with it!The older ones go to school here.

The key is that we don't open the fire to cook at home. When we eat, we go to the canteen and get tickets to eat.

Invoices are issued every month, including meal stamps and vegetable stamps. In winter, the meat stamps from two separate units are exchanged for one vegetarian stamp to eat fresh vegetables from the greenhouse.

After this time, the meat tickets were gone, so they had to exchange for the vegetarian tickets. Without the tickets, Wang Yiqian couldn't eat without the tickets.

As he spoke, he showed Zhu Yuanzhang his meal tickets, vegetarian and meat dish tickets. He was of high rank and could not use up all the tickets he was issued.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it in his hand and looked at it: "You can use the ticket to eat for yourself? If you don't have the ticket, you won't be given food. Is this a good idea?"

"Your Majesty!" The head of the village took over: "Your Majesty, stop waste. Normal use of meal tickets is enough to eat, and a lot of them are distributed every month.

These tickets can be exchanged for drinks or snacks for the children. Everyone will figure out how to spend it, and they have to save the money they earn to buy useful things.Tickets are also equivalent to their wages. As long as large groups exist, there must be rules for trade exchange.

Your Majesty can ask the mining areas where the Northland prisoners work. They don't just work and eat as much as they want. They work on a piece-rate basis.

Then give them tickets for various substitutes. Prices fluctuate. Winter vegetables are definitely different from summer vegetables, even dried vegetables.

They will exchange the tickets back and forth themselves. Robbery will not work. Those who want to use force to bully others will be sent to a place where they eat pig food for at least half a month and then put back.

There will be exchanges between them. Smart people can reserve tickets for things that will be more expensive in the future in advance. This is how the economy must exist.

The biggest difference between people in industrial areas and prisoners is that they can walk outside without restrictions.

If you eat casually, the craftsmen will engage in wasteful behavior. This waste does not mean that you can't finish eating and throw it away, but that there are many dishes cooked in the canteen that no one eats, so you can only throw them away.

With a ticket, if a certain dish is not easy to sell, the price can be reduced and discounted, so that the person holding the ticket thinks it is good and will choose it. "

The commander talked about the knowledge Hanhan taught him. The prisoner-of-war camp also has an economic organization. This has the advantage that the prisoners feel that they are still living in a social environment and have more motivation to work.

Without this economic structure, the prisoners of war would be mining, eating pig food every day, and either thinking about resistance or being depressed.

Affect work efficiency and give them a free trade environment, and they will feel that they have goals to strive for, including reduced sentences and so on.

With enough 'money', the sentence can be reduced, and the purchasing power of different bills in summer and winter is different.

Smart people can exchange to get more tickets, that is, money, and then buy reduced sentences.

"Oh~~~" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed, looking astonished.

Not just him, other ministers also suddenly realized, including Liu Bowen, that the original purpose was this, amazing!

Chen Ning suddenly discovered something different: "Zhu Lichang, why don't you in Xiaqiu Village? You all eat in a big pot, and you don't see any tickets."

Everyone around looks at the village together, yes, but not in Xiaqiu Village.

The head of the village nodded slightly: "Chen Yushi is right, there is no village in Xiaqiu Village because there are village guards in Xiaqiu Village."

"Xiaqiu Village, village guard, Hanhan, I, um! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian finally found a chance to have fun.

The director patted Hanhan on the shoulder: "Xiaqiu Village will not waste food. Even if everyone finds that they don't like a certain dish, they will try to finish it and tell the canteen not to make so much next time.

Those are our own things. It won’t taste bad when we think about starving, not to mention that such situations will not happen under normal circumstances.

The cooking in the village is arranged according to the climate. People who like to eat and cook in the village know that the village never needs a ticket. "

"Not all places are in Xiaqiu Village. I just saw a baby fall. Is your hand broken?"

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with the director's statement, and suddenly thought of a baby, don't rub your hands off the concrete floor.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Li An'an? She keeps tripping over each other when running, and she has fallen out of experience. She should be washing her hands. There is an extra layer of cloth on the knees of her pants."

Wang Yiqian instantly knew who it was, and he couldn't hold back his laughter as he talked about that child.
