Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 135 134. The Running Copper Coin ([-])

After checking and accepting the fort villages and towns and the Clover Basin, and rewarding and punishing officials and refugees, Ross returned to Stan Town contentedly, but when he was about to continue his great farming business, he was stopped by Bruce.

Bruce quickly said straight to the point: "My lord, the construction of the fort villages and towns has been completed, and the villages and towns planned in the Yotsuba Basin will be completed soon, but the necessary furniture and daily necessities are still far behind. And Winter is coming soon, and we need to purchase the most basic warm clothes, quilts, etc. for the refugees immediately.”

"How many gold coins are left? How much will it cost?" Ross asked subconsciously.

Blu, who had been prepared for a long time, opened his mouth and came directly: "Although the workshops recently arranged in Stan Town and the six villages have successively produced various products, such as tables, chairs, beds, clay pots, linen, wooden barrels, iron pots, etc. There are all of them, but it is still too short to supply more than 4 refugees. Recently, I have been buying by Wilson Firm and Robert's Department Store, but the effect is not too great due to the large number and the long distance, and Stan's Finances are really starting to get tight."

Ross rubbed his chin and thought for a while and asked, "Are these things free at that time?"

"That's right!" Bruce nodded and said, "In the past, the refugees still used the method of hiring and paying. However, this time we recruited 4 refugees at one time. We don't have so many copper and silver coins, and the workload is too much. The number of management personnel is too small, so food and tools are provided directly, and the refugees obey the arrangement and engage in various labors.”

"This won't work!" Los shook his head and muttered, "In this way, our finances will always be in a state of expenditure, and the funds will not only not flow in a circular manner, but will always be in a state of outflow. If this continues, no matter how much I invest in it Gold coins, our finances will be dragged down sooner or later. We must let the funds flow, and the more links in it, the better, and let the copper coins run, so that we can be freed from endless expenditures."

"Let the copper coins run?" Bruce scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

Ross didn't explain directly. He stood up and pressed Bruce's shoulder and said, "Bru, can you find a way to exchange for 80 Ming copper coins and 4 Ming silver coins."

"What?" Bru was taken aback and exclaimed, "Even if we collect all the copper and silver coins in the nearby villages and towns, there might be so many copper and silver coins."

Los was stunned, then smiled inscrutablely and said: "Who says there is no, you can go to the principals of Wilson Firm and Robert's department store now, and say that as long as they can exchange 80 copper coins and 4 silver coins for us , they are allowed to open branches in all villages and towns in the Four Leaf Basin, otherwise they are not allowed to step into the Four Leaf Basin."

Brutus was stunned for a moment, without the support of Wilson Firm and Robert's Department Store, it would be inconvenient for the citizens of Yotsuba Basin to buy all kinds of goods in the future, but seeing the inscrutable smile of the lord can only hide their doubts in the In my heart, I went through it obediently.

What surprised him even more was that the owners of the Wilson Firm and Robert's Department Store in Stan Town were not at all unhappy when they heard the conditions he said, but happily accepted the matter and carried out it in front of him. Distribution, 7% for Wilson Firm and 3% for Robert's Department Store, one-third of which will be paid after half a month, and all copper and silver coins will be in place after one month.

Then Ross convened a meeting of scholars from Bru, Fafea, Ulis, and Wiley.

Sitting on the first seat, Ross knocked on the table and said with an order: "From today on, we will stop providing all materials for free to all the citizens and refugees, and change them to the original employment system of Stan Village." He really didn't bother to explain to them why Expertise in mobilizing funds, transferring financial pressure, etc.

Bruce was still somewhat prepared, and the three of Fafeya were stunned, but they nodded obediently, who had always believed in Ross: "Yes, my lord!"

Ross looked at the obedient four people somewhat ridiculously. Isn't it the voice that should be questioned and dissuaded at this time?Reluctantly helping his forehead, Ross directly ordered: "Bru, you have to let all the workshops in Stan town recruit more than three times the number of apprentices, and quickly increase the production of various items. In addition, notify the Wilson firm and Robert Department stores are stocking up a lot and getting ready to enter the Yotsuba Basin.”

Bruce understood the meaning of Ross's actions, nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, my lord! I will push this matter forward myself!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Ross arranged for Fafea and Julis: "You two find a way to subcontract all the work according to my previous method, and set a reasonable wage, and then release it to hire the leader The villagers and the refugees work, and pay them after acceptance. How to formulate work tasks, you can ask Wiley Scholars and Blue for help, they can give you some useful advice."

"Yes, my lord!" The two respectfully agreed, and then looked at Willy and Bruce's dark, ditch-covered faces showing a trace of embarrassment, Willy and Bruce nodded with a smile.

Ross thought for a while, touched his chin, and said: "It seems a bit too hasty to do this, and confusion will inevitably occur. Well, let's divide it into two stages. In the first stage, the new immigrants and refugees will be provided with A piece of bread that weighs one catty, and the price of all commodities sold to them is reduced by one-third, so that they can adapt to the employment system.

In the second stage, after the construction of villages and towns in the Four Leaf Basin is completed and all the residents are assigned to cultivated land and housing, free bread will no longer be provided, all commodities will return to their original prices, and employment will continue. "

"My lord is merciful!" The four stood up and said respectfully.

On the second day, an order was continuously propagated by the guards to the ears of everyone who built roads and practiced in the Four Leaf Basin: From today on, except for a piece of black bread for each person, the wise lord will no longer provide you with free food. Any material, of course, will not force anyone to work.However, the lord will release a large number of work tasks every day, and then pay a certain amount of copper coins to those who are willing to work.

That night, everyone was given an extra piece of brown bread weighing one catty, and most of them went to bed happily without knowing why.

It wasn't until someone slept until dawn the next day that they realized that no one urged them to get up and go out to work, and they didn't smell the familiar fragrant porridge.

Moreover, at the place where they were eating, a large number of people were surrounding the guards of Stan Town, and they were waving precious paper and pens and shouting loudly:

"The daily necessities store needs 50 women who know how to do needlework to sew cotton-padded clothes and quilts. You pay 1 copper coin for each set of cotton-padded clothes or quilts you sew!"

"The bakery needs 20 women to help bake black bread and cook porridge, and the salary is 1 copper coin per day."

"Earthworm ponds need people to breed and release earthworms. Three people form a team to take care of a pool. At least 3 earthworms need to be released every month. The salary is 1 copper coin per person. After the number is accepted at the end of the month, each person will receive 30 copper coins at a time."

"The road construction team needs people to build the road, and needs 10 people to form a team by themselves, and pay 50 copper coins for every 20 meters built."

"The construction team needs people to build villages and towns, and the salary is 1 to 3 copper coins per person per day according to the work intensity."

.........

Listening to a large number of familiar jobs, and hearing that they have to pay them unfamiliar and familiar copper coins, most people are a little dazed, but their hungry stomachs are urging them to quickly choose the jobs they are good at. make money.As for whether the officials in Stan Town would lie to them, they had no doubts from the moment when someone could really obtain the status of a citizen or even a free citizen some time ago.
