Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself

Chapter 181 That envoy Ji is no ordinary beauty

When Ah Ye looked up and saw her, he said pleasantly, "Ziqi?"

Then he seemed to realize that he should be studying at this time, not stealing food, his face flushed slightly, with a hint of embarrassment, "Ziqi, that, Aunt Chen stopped by to see me, just arrived, I am not lazy! "

Remembering that the two did not know each other, he took the initiative to introduce: "Ziqi, this is the side concubine Chen I mentioned to you earlier! Aunt Chen, this is envoy Ji of the Li Kingdom!"

"I have met Envoy Ji in person!" Concubine Chen bowed slightly.

She is a woman with a delicate face and looks quite docile and virtuous, but the moment she bowed her head in salute, surprise and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Ji Ziqi noticed it sensitively, she smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Your official has seen Concubine Chen!"

"Aunt Chen, Your Highness is going to study, you should go back first." A Ye said.

Concubine Chen's smile faltered, she quickly adjusted her expression, and said softly: "Your Highness, Envoy Ji, I will not bother you two anymore, I will leave!"

"Chen side concubine, please stop!" Ji Ziqi left her alone, "I have a few words, I want to talk to Aunt Chen!"

"Emissary Ji has something to say, and I will listen to you!" Concubine Chen turned her body slightly, her head drooping slightly, as if she was not listening to the instruction.

"When Xiaguan was young, he was very playful and refused to learn. Sometimes my mother would get angry, so she would beat Xiaguan's palm with a board, and force Xiaguan to study spells hard every day! That's why Xiaguan With today's talent!

When Xiaguan was young, he hated A Niang very much in his heart, thinking that she deprived Xiaguan of his freedom.

It wasn't until after he grew up and the lower official showed his talent in spells that he understood A Niang's good intentions!In this world, how can there be something for nothing?
No matter how smart your talent is, if you don't study hard, you will become an ordinary person!True love is to expect the other party to become better, not to lure the other party to degenerate in the name of love. "

There was an imperceptible coldness in Ji Ziqi's voice, "Concubine Chen hasn't had a child of her own yet, so she can't understand the earnest expectations of parents for their children.

Although Concubine Chen treats His Highness the emperor's grandson like a son, she is still not a mother and son, and because of her different identities, she may be a bit reluctant in her actions.

Therefore, the lower officials hope that Concubine Chen can put aside this difference in status, and with the mother's expectation for the child, she can positively guide and urge Ah Ye to improve in certain things, such as studying, which is the real one. Hello to Ah Ye! "

Concubine Chen's face stiffened at that moment.The hands under the sleeves were clenched into fists, and the nails sank into the palms, causing a sharp pain.

Only in this way can she keep herself from trembling, and from losing her composure in front of His Royal Highness.

"I understand." She tried her best to control her voice as usual, "If envoy Ji has no other orders, I will leave first."

"Concubine Chen, go slowly!"

After leaving the other hall, Concubine Chen got on the sedan chair angrily, and shouted to the accompanying maid, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

The maid was taken aback, "Ma'am, it's broad daylight..."

But she was taken aback by the vicious look in her eyes, hurriedly swallowed what she was about to say later, and said to the bearer: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Chen Zhiche, the prime minister of the current dynasty, was the cousin of the concubine of the crown prince, and everyone knew this.

Those few people didn't doubt that there was him, they just thought it was rare for her to come out, and went to see their cousin by the way.

In the prime minister's mansion, Chen Zhiche had just finished taking a bath. The room was spacious and bright, and all the evil things seemed to have never happened.

Relying on her identity as a cousin, Concubine Chen barged in without any scruples.

Originally full of anger and grievance, when he saw Chen Zhiche's slightly cold eyes, his momentum was gone.

Chen Zhiche once reminded her that even though they are cousins ​​in name and are related, there are differences between men and women, and it is not appropriate to have close contacts on the surface, so as not to cause gossip.

She obeyed his words, and only came to the prime minister's mansion during the Chinese New Year and some big festivals.

Today, she was suppressed by Ji Ziqi's words in the other building, and the fire in her heart was surging upwards.

In fact, the reason why she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion was firstly because she was annoyed by being exposed, and another reason was because Chen Zhiche once said that Ji Ziqi's appearance was "unreliable in the rumors".

At that time, she thought it was too exaggerated, but after seeing it today, she realized the true meaning of Chen Zhiche's words.

Because it was rumored that the words "very beautiful" could not describe Ji Ziqi's appearance at all.

Her facial features are not perfect, but when they are combined together, coupled with the heroic spirit between her eyebrows, they form a unique style that is unique in the world!People can't help but want to study in depth!

Unlike Chen Zhiche, who is like poison in the dark and addicted to drinking, there is something called light and hope in her, just like the warm sunshine, she just wants to be close and follow!
Suddenly, she lost faith in what she thought she believed.

The cousin she loves so much may really fall on this woman!
Because of her anger and fear, she was blinded and ran to the prime minister's residence without hesitation.

However, when she saw Chen Zhiche's cold eyes, Concubine Chen suddenly realized that her act of rushing here today seemed a bit excessive.

She looked at Chen Zhiche's wet and pale face, and said cautiously: "My lord..."

"Cousin is so anxious to come here, but what's the matter?" Chen Zhiche lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.

Although he called Concubine Chen's cousin verbally, in private, he never allowed Concubine Chen to call his cousin, at any time, including the most intimate time.

"My lord..." Concubine Chen put on a weeping expression, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have disobeyed my lord, please don't be angry, my lord! I'm leaving now!"

"Cousin," Chen Zhiche suddenly raised his head, showed a gentle smile, and waved to her, "Come here, cousin."

Concubine Chen seemed to have misheard, showing a look of astonishment, but saw that man who never liked people disobeying him was waving to her with a clear smile on his face.

Concubine Chen Nuo walked over, but she didn't dare to get too close to him.

Chen Zhiche said softly, "Come and sit down."

Concubine Chen took two steps closer, bowing her head like a servant who has done something wrong.

Chen Zhiche stretched out his hand to pull her, and she fell into his arms, clinging to his chest.

His face was so cool, it made her feel longing in her hot body.

A man's gentle voice came from above his head, "Cousin, don't be like this in the future, huh?"

The voice fell into my ears, crisp and numb, like winter sake, cold and intoxicating.

"Yes, my lord, the concubine knows it." Concubine Chen lay in his arms, being treated so tenderly by him, it was as unreal as in a dream.

From an angle she couldn't see, the corners of Chen Zhiche's mouth curled up, revealing a slight sarcasm.

"What is my cousin looking for my cousin today?" He asked softly.

Concubine Chen honestly repeated what Ji Ziqi said in the other hall.

"Just for this?" His voice raised slightly.

Concubine Chen bit her lips, expressing her worry in a subtle way, "That Envoy Ji is no ordinary beauty. If I were a man, I'm afraid I would be attracted to her too."

"Cousin is worried about this, right?" Chen Zhiche asked a question, but there was affirmation in his words.

Concubine Chen hummed lightly.

"Fool, you think too much." Chen Zhiche suddenly pinched her nose lightly, like a lover, pampering her infinitely, "With you, how could my cousin fall in love with other women?"

"Really? My lord?" There were too many surprises today, and Concubine Chen was still floating in the clouds.

Chen Zhiche lowered his head and smiled at her, as if a thousand years of snow-capped mountains suddenly bloomed in spring, a hundred flowers bloomed in full bloom, and it was magnificent, but it also brought countless charms.

Concubine Chen's heart was beating violently uncontrollably. She looked at his smiling face obsessively, and wanted to reach out to touch him, but she didn't dare.

She waited for the man's answer with great anticipation, and he nodded slightly as she wished.

Concubine Chen thought vaguely: If this is a dream, she is willing to indulge in it forever and not wake up.

"Cousin, during the period when the Li Guo envoy is in Cang Yue, you will follow what the envoy Ji said, and urge His Royal Highness to study hard, okay?"

In the past, Concubine Chen might have asked one more question after agreeing, "Why?"

But today's Concubine Chen was in a dizzy state, and she just nodded her head blankly.

When leaving the mansion, Concubine Chen still had a silly and shy smile, intoxicated by Chen Zhiche's rare tenderness in a century, unable to get out.

She didn't know that the moment she left, Chen Zhiche's entire face immediately became silent.

The greasy fragrance of Concubine Chen's body wafted in the air, he wrinkled his nose, and a trace of disgust flashed in his dead sea-like eyes, but he didn't know whether it was towards her or himself.

"Prepare water!"

"Yes!"

Chen Zhiche took off the robe on his body and threw it on the ground, his voice was calm without any ripples, "The clothes were burned, the bedding was changed, and the room was cleaned again!"

"Yes!"

-

After Ji Ziqi taught Ah Ye the number of spells and had dinner with him, he went back to his room.

"Young madam, Du Xi found something!" Du Le said.

"Let him come to see me!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Du An and Du Xi appeared.

Ji Ziqi got straight to the point, "Du Xi, what did you find?"

"Today, Concubine Chen from the Prince's Mansion left the annex and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Hehe." Du Xi said.

Du An said: "This concubine Chen is said to be Chen Zhiche's distant cousin, due to the difference between men and women and their identities, except for the occasional contact during Chinese New Year and big festivals, it is said that she rarely contacts her in normal times.

Today, I suddenly went to the prime minister's mansion, which is a bit intriguing. "

Du Xi continued: "In addition, a few days ago, Mrs. Minister of the Household Department and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have had private contact with Chen Zhiche. Hehe."

Married women have private contact with unmarried men, and just listening to them, they feel a bit sensual.

Ji Ziqi thought of Chen Zhiche's words and deeds towards her, and felt that maybe he had something to do with those two wives.

In front of her, although Du An Du Xi thought so in his heart, it was difficult to express their judgment.

After all, it's my young wife, so it's fine to just let it be known.

Du Xi said: "Also, three days ago, our people found the Prime Minister's Mansion, quietly carried things to the small woods behind, and burned it down.

Because those people were skilled, our people didn't dare to get too close, so we went to check quietly the next day, but the place was clean without any traces.

After two nights of investigation, it turned out that all the ashes from the previous fire had been buried in the ground, and a small tree was planted on it.

Our people tentatively dug up a small tree, which contained human ashes, and later dug two more trees, and found that there were also ashes under the two saplings.

One even had half a hand left unburned.Our people are afraid of being discovered and dare not dig again. "

Hearing that, Ji Ziqi was horrified, his stomach was rolling, and his voice was trembling, "You mean, in that grove, under all the trees, there is a person's ashes buried?"

"Yes!" Du Xi said: "Our people checked carefully and found that those relatively young saplings were judged to be newly planted trees in the past two years, and there were about 20 or so."

"Twenty or so people were burned to death?" Ji Ziqi couldn't help but growl, "Could it be the servant who made a big mistake in the mansion?"

Du An said: "No! Our people have inquired about the changes in the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and found that except for the coachman who has changed five or six people, the mansion is basically old people from before.

Moreover, it was said that Chen Zhiche was very kind to his servants, even if he made a mistake, he was never severely punished or beaten, and his reputation was very good.

Occasionally, he will adopt some little girls who have been trafficked, and then help them find their relatives and send them back to their hometown. "

"Then, where did those burned people come from?"

"We don't know for the time being!" Duan Duxi shook his head at the same time, "Our people will monitor closely!"

-

The first Cangyue specialty processing factory started production smoothly. Ji Ziqi asked him to make some samples first, and the experienced managers in the factory set a price based on the wholesale price in the market.

Then let ten young men with good eloquence take a few samples and take the initiative to go to Tianliang to contact the Liguo Trading Company over there.

And promised that every time an order of 200 taels of silver is signed, there will be a reward of one penny, with no upper limit.

Under the premise of complying with the laws of the two countries and not harming the interests of factories and commercial firms, they are allowed to use their own methods to obtain orders.

In Cang Yue, all the commercial firms only pay a fixed monthly salary, thinking that no matter what position they are in, they are doing what they should do.

Now that Ji Ziqi has given such a promise of 200 taels of silver a penny, although they are not sure if they can get it, at least they have a thought, don't they?
As long as there is a thought, this person's brain will be mobilized, and all the intelligence in his body will come out.

These few people can speak well, how could they be so stupid?
Therefore, as soon as Ji Ziqi's conditions came out, the ten people blushed with excitement, and their minds were already on how to get the other party to sign the order.

Steward You Da was thoughtful, while the other stewards and masters looked a bit ugly.

Ji Ziqi knew what these people were thinking. Just like the modern times, everyone only saw the high commissions that the salespeople got, but they couldn't imagine the sweat behind them.

They also always think that they just call people to eat with their mouths, but they don't know that the other party knows that it is Huyou, but they are still willing to pay the bill, and even call them brothers and sisters, which is a profound knowledge.

It's just that they are interlaced like mountains, relying on power oppression or verbal explanations is not enough to make them understand the efforts made by the sales staff.

"I have a proposal, and I want to seek the opinions of all the stewards!"

"Envoy Ji, please order!" Manager You Da hurriedly said.

Manager You Da was the only person present with a calm expression. Ji Ziqi saw it and was very satisfied with him.

Those who can not be jealous of other people's temporary gains, and those who may have gains, must have a wider world in their hearts.

"I think that all the stewards and masters are in the back to manage the workers and make special products, so I'm afraid that they may lack understanding of the market.

This sales position is not considered a new position, but what it does and its power are new.The most important thing is that this position is the closest to the market demand.

Therefore, the official proposes that after the contract is signed this time, all the managers here will make a schedule, and each person will take turns to go out for half a month to a month to do sales and learn about the market.

As for the monthly silver, the commission will remain unchanged as just said, but the original monthly silver will be deducted by [-]%. If you find that you are more suitable for sales, you can directly switch to sales.

If not, then return to the current position of steward. What do you think of the stewards? "

Is it okay?The stewards were overjoyed, and then worried, but they just looked at Ji Ziqi, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Of course, during the period of trial sales, whether the salary will be reduced by [-]% or what is not the final and accurate data.

We can wait for the current ten sales representatives to come back and see their results before making a decision! "

They have considered all aspects so thoroughly for them, these stewards are naturally happy, "Everything is up to Envoy Ji and Steward Youda to decide!"

All operations of the factory went smoothly.

Ji Ziqi stayed in the factory for two days, and everything was in order.

I am very satisfied.

But what satisfied her the most was Steward Youda.

A manager may not be able to do anything, but he must have one essential quality: being good at winning people's hearts.

Ji Ziqi took a closer look and found that all the managers and workers in the factory respect You Da's management very much.

There is a leader that everyone can follow. As long as there are no major accidents in this factory, there will basically be no problems.

Ji Ziqi reported all this to Cang Qi in detail.

Cang Qi was already satisfied with You Da's steward, and now he feels more relieved, "From now on, this king will hand over all the affairs of this factory to You Da's steward."

Ji Ziqi said: "My lord, you are willing to entrust someone you trust wholeheartedly, I admire you very much.

But the official thinks that no matter how well Steward You Da has done his part, you still have to do your part, my lord. "

"This king's duty?" Cang Qi didn't understand.

Ji Ziqi said: "This processing factory belongs to the royal family, your lord. You Da is in charge, but he is just a hired person. How can you put the burden of life and death of this factory on him?
If he can't carry it, it's your fault, the disaster of the royal family; if he can carry it, he will be willing to carry it for others instead of carrying it himself?
Prince, the human heart is the most corruptible, and money and power are the most addictive poisons. We must ensure that the processing plant and everyone in it continue to move forward on the right path and remain loyal to the royal family.

Your lord, you must let them know from time to time: this processing plant belongs to the royal family, without the support of the royal family, this processing plant is nothing! "

"You mean to say that people in this processing factory should also use the technique of controlling subordinates?" Cang Qi murmured.

"Not only the supervisor Youda, but also some core supervisors and sales representatives in the factory. You must make them fear you and ensure that these people will not have second thoughts."

Ji Ziqi said: "However, in the meantime, we must also pay attention to maintaining the dignity of Manager You Da in the factory from being damaged. The middle scale needs to be controlled by you, my lord."

"A processing factory, there are so many things?" Cang Qi couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that the royal family's industries are always not profitable.

The king and the emperor's brother always thought that it was because Cang Yue's economy was not good, or because of bad luck in management.

Hearing what you said now, I'm afraid there are a lot of tricks hidden in it. "

"This processing plant is of a special nature, and the prince needs to pay more attention to it. As for other royal industries, the prince can check it first."

Ji Ziqi said: "My lord, you are a lord, you are busy with state affairs, it is impossible to put all your thoughts on it.

Therefore, the prince still needs to find some reliable people to help you take care of the property.

It's just that people's hearts are the same, regardless of whether they are in the court or in business, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people.

Therefore, the prince can use the same method when managing these people.

When you really come to your position, you only need to manage people, not affairs.Take care of people, and there will be capable people to help you. "

"You only need to manage people, but don't need to manage affairs?" Cang Qi cursed repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

In fact, with Cang Qi's status, how could he not understand this truth?

It's just that Cang Yue has long been controlled by the courtiers, and there are very few people who can really use it. Sometimes Emperor Cang Yue and him want to do something, and they can only do it by themselves.

It is impossible for the emperor to do it, so only he can do it.

After a long time, I was deeply involved in it, and I had already forgotten the way to control it.

It's like putting a captain in the position of a sailor, only focusing on paddling hard to avoid the reef in front of him, but forgetting to observe whether there are hidden reefs not far away.

Therefore, you will always be in the process of solving troubles, and you will never be able to plan ahead and strategize.

Ji Ziqi's few words, like a huge thunder, caused Cang Qi to completely lift his head from the predicament of paddling, and was forced to think, what should he do next?
The more Cang Qi thought about it, the more sweat grew on his back.

It seems that he needs to go to the palace to analyze the current situation with the emperor, judge the possible future direction, and make preparations and preparations in advance.

-

After the trip to the processing factory, Chen Zhiche never looked for Ji Ziqi again, but Concubine Chen would come to the annex every other day.

I don't know if Ji Ziqi's previous words have played a role. During these days, when Concubine Chen came to the other hall, she usually just brought some snacks.

I won't tell Ah Ye again to let him cherish himself and stop working so hard.Instead, he urged him from time to time to let him listen to his master's teachings more.

On the fifth day of August, the first exam-oriented enrollment of Cang Yue Shushu Academy started.

A total of 100 people were planned to be recruited, and about 400 people came to take the exam.

Ah Ye changed into ordinary clothes and went to take the exam like an ordinary person.

Ah Ye, who was taking the exam for the first time, was a little nervous, but Ji Ziqi was full of confidence in him.

Ah Ye has good aptitude, and was taught by Emperor Cang Yue himself since he was a child. When he was seven or eight years old, he was able to understand some simple ledgers, and he was quite talented in arithmetic.

It's just that he was too young at that time, and after returning from Tianliang, he had never received any formal instruction, but Chen Zhiche, Cang Qi, and Emperor Cang Yue taught him a little knowledge.

The state affairs of several people are heavy, and the time to teach him is limited, so although what he learns is not refined, it is quite complicated.

Now in the annex, Duan will make unified adjustments. According to Ah Ye's situation, he will make up for what he lacks, and Ji Ziqi will teach him spells. Ah Ye's progress is very obvious.

However, according to Ji Ziqi's request, it is better not to let anyone know of his progress for the time being, including Emperor Cang Yue, the crown prince, Prince Qi, and above all, Chen Zhiche.

Although Ah Ye is young, he has always been in the royal family, and he has developed a very high political sensitivity since childhood.

When Ji Ziqi said this, he immediately understood.

In the current Cang Yue court, apart from his close relatives, no one wants him to succeed in his studies.

Ji Ziqi also asked him not to be too outstanding in the admissions exam for arithmetic, and an accuracy rate of around [-]% to [-]% is enough.

This will not attract the attention of caring people.

However, what she didn't expect was that even though Ah Ye only achieved the second grade, it still aroused huge repercussions.

Because in the minds of the courtiers, A Ye, who was ignorant and ignorant, actually passed the spell test, which was enough to shock them greatly!
However, there are also some people who voluntarily link Ah Ye's achievements with the fact that he and Ji Ziqi got acquainted.

After all, the person who wrote the test was a member of the Li Guoshu Association. Who knows if he had obtained the test questions in advance?

If he knew the exam questions before the exam, but still only got the grades of His Majesty B, then how stupid is His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun?

As a result, the Cang Yue court was divided into two factions, one faction believed that a way should be found to prevent His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager from continuing to study;
The other school thinks that with the level of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, even if he studied for three years, so what?It's just a straw bag!Why offend Li Guo's envoy for this matter?
The last sentence offended the envoy of Li Guo, and temporarily silenced the faction that opposed studying.

Several important figures among Li's envoys, such as Ji Ziqi and Cao Yunqing, will leave Cang Yue and return to Li at the latest in mid-November.

Others who stay in Cang Yue have nothing to worry about, so they can just spend a little more money and buy them off.

I heard that these members of the Artisan Association came to Cang Yue for the generous subsidy silver taels from the Li Guo court, so it was the easiest way to bribe them with silver taels.

Ji Ziqi was not aware of the changes in the minds of the ministers of the Cang Yue court, because two students who came to take the exam caught her attention.

Those two teenagers were dressed very plainly and were about the same age as Ah Ye. Not only did they answer all the questions quickly but also very accurately.

Although the admissions exam this time has made very attractive discounts for poor students.

But Ji Ziqi knew very well that poor people who couldn't even afford enough food and clothing, how could they have enough money to send their children to school?
The preferential conditions for the admissions examination were just in case, but it turned out that two different types really came, which surprised her a little.

When the two students correctly answered the second round of test papers prepared by Jia Qing, Ji Ziqi personally asked them about their family backgrounds.

It turned out that the grandfather of the two used to be a high-ranking official of the Cang Yue court, but because of committing a crime, he was dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner.

Slowly, the family fortune gradually declined, but my grandfather never slacked off on the upbringing and education of the younger generation in the family. He had no money to send them to school, so he taught them at home.

The two young boys are very proper in their conversation and etiquette, and their advances and retreats are well-founded. One can tell at a glance that the family's upbringing is very strict.

Ji Ziqi was a little curious about the crimes committed by the two grandfathers, but she didn't know if the two were too young to know, or the elders in the family told them not to talk too much, but it didn't satisfy her curiosity.

But Ji Ziqi told Ah Ye to be closer to the two of them, maybe you will be his right-hand man in the future.

In addition, he also recorded the life experiences of the two, and reported the matter to Cang Qi.

Cang Qi had quite an impression of the two, he sighed, "These two were run off not because they committed a crime, but because they were unwilling to collude with other ministers in the DPRK.

In the end, the emperor brother was under pressure and had no choice but to let go of the two officials.Now that I think about it, when the emperor's brother ascended the throne, there were still many loyal ministers there.

Slowly, almost all of them were eliminated within a few years.There are also some who voluntarily resigned because of the cowardice of the emperor's brother.

The Cang Yue royal family has become what it is today, and the bottom line is that the responsibility lies with the royal family itself! "

Ji Ziqi said: "The emperor and the prince now know the crux of the matter, as long as they correct it from now on, it's not too late."

Cang Qi nodded: "This king will go back and discuss with the emperor's brother, and send someone to contact some previous ministers in private!"

There was a determined expression on his face, "Cang Yue, we must make a change!"

-

On August [-]th, the dispatched sales representative came back, and the amount of the signed order surprised Manager You Da, as well as many managers and masters in the factory.

The ten people signed a total of 300 million taels of orders and came back. According to the commission given by Ji Ziqi, each person received an average bonus of about five taels.

A few people couldn't help being happy, and some looked worried. One must know that five taels of silver, in the past, they could not earn this amount in a year.

Therefore, I was worried that if the master went back on his word, there would be no joy.

After Ji Ziqi communicated with Steward Youda, Steward Youda made a decision on the spot: "First pay one-tenth of the bonus in advance, and then calculate it once a month according to the time when each commercial bank arrives at the account."

The few people were relieved and thanked quickly.

Cang Yue's economy is low, and the per capita income is not high, so the average monthly silver is almost half lower than that of Li State.

Therefore, a few people earned five taels of silver within [-] days of going out, which was a great temptation for all the managers.

Many stewards began to stir in their hearts.

But for the processing plant, the most important thing now is to expand manpower and increase production speed.

Ji Ziqi roughly estimated that the 300 million taels would bring about 50 taels of profit, and most of them would go into Emperor Cang Yue's pocket.

If the emperor is willing to share a little and calculate the monthly silver by piece, I believe the production speed will be greatly improved compared to now.

If piecework is not considered, the cost of hiring another group of people based on the current fixed monthly salary will be similar.

When Ji Ziqi presented these data in front of Emperor Cang Yue and Cang Qi, both of them were stunned.

"Here, you have earned more than 25 silver in just twenty days?" Emperor Cang Yue couldn't believe it.

Cang Qi also didn't believe it, but everything was clearly in front of him, and it was clear at a glance.

The contract, the amount in the contract, the cost of raw materials, the factory's expenses, the estimated final profit, and the estimated share of each investor are all listed in detail on that form.

Ji Ziqi clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your lord, this order is too large, and the original supply of raw materials is not enough. Steward You Da has sent people out to find new suppliers of raw materials.

The processing plant is currently short of manpower, and it is also recruiting at the same time.The next official suggested that the other vacated grain storage can start construction.

In addition, regarding the monthly payment of existing workers, Xiaguan suggested that piecework can be used. "

"What is piece count?" Emperor Cang Yue and Cang Qi asked at the same time.

Ji Ziqi said: "Currently, every job is basically the same in Yueyin. Regardless of whether the person does more or less, the average worker gets about [-] yuan on average.

The meaning of piece counting means more pay for more work. For example, someone with fast hands and feet can usually pack up to 250 pieces a day. Using the new method to calculate monthly silver, it may reach [-] pieces a day.

If it is calculated on the basis of ten pennies, this person can get 25 pennies a day, and 750 pennies a month, so that workers get more money and the efficiency of the factory is also improved!

Once the efficiency of the factory is improved, fewer people need to be hired again. "

After hearing this, Emperor Cang Yue hesitated, "Envoy Ji, you know that many people in my Cang Yue are starving and have no food to eat. If what you said just now, I would rather invite more people and let more people People have food to eat."

"Your Majesty," Ji Ziqi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have a kind heart and put the people first in your heart, I admire you very much!

However, if you take the same monthly silver no matter how much you do or how little you do, it may be nothing in the short term, but over time, it will definitely encourage people's inertia.

Since doing more and doing less is the same, why do more?

If His Majesty wants to truly help these common people, he should be trained and grown up just like His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, instead of giving him a false image of comfort!

Otherwise, in the end, except for habitual acquisition and lack of hard work, I am afraid that there will be no more growth!
Is this kind of people the emperor you want? "

"Could it be like this?" Cang Qi asked in a daze.

"As the saying goes: It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish! Let the people have the ability to make a living, is the real good to them!

If this factory earns money, the emperor and the prince can open other factories, and they can also recruit people into it. As long as they work hard, they can also get food and clothing.
