"Chengzong, what trouble do you have?" Pan Mei asked in confusion. Others are in Tanzhou, but they still know the big things in the capital. In recent years, Zhao Pu would be in a windy and rainy way, and Zhao Kuangyi made him dare not speak out. If the three envoys of the three officials said that they would step down, they would step down. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to use some people, such as Dou Yi as prime minister. Under Zhao Pu's suppression, he could not become prime minister until Dou Yi died. With his own son, what trouble would Zhao Chengzong not be able to solve? Or he would also cut off his slaves like Wang Jixun.

Zhao Chengzong said: "It's hard to describe it, but one person stumps us."

"Who?"

"It's just an ordinary servant."

"Who is that bold?"

"General Pan, listen to me," Zhao Chengzong began to complain. Hezhou has changed a lot, but there is a huge crisis hidden, a human crisis!

Zhao Chengzong started counting Hezhou's industries, counting with his fingers, and counting the workshops first. Among the workshops in Hezhou, the one who makes the most profit is the glass workshop, including craftsmen, with nearly 300 people. This is inevitable.

But I didn't expect that the Yishu Workshop suddenly expanded.

Not only did he not think of it, but Song Jiu could not think of it either.

The new clothes started with sportswear, sports skirts and sportswear, which are convenient for guests to play basketball. All styles, including shoes and hats, are mainly for elegant functions. Then there are many skirts, and there are more and more styles. The first ones are female workers who are extremely skillful in handwork. Song Jiu drew pictures and gave them generous rewards and stimulation. They learned from one example and designed more styles of dresses. Then they went to the servants.

If the servants were asked to wear short jackets for work, they would not be of grade. If they were also wearing robes, it was not convenient to work, so they came out with shirts, T-shirts, suits, Zhongshan tuxedo. This was done step by step. Song Jiu only drew several styles, and more than 90% of the other ones were designed by various female workers. Almost one-third adopted them.

But it is only circulated internally, or when diving and swimming, customers must buy it. However, customers only wear it under special circumstances in the industry. Therefore, after it comes out one after another, it did not cause much controversy. It was not sold to the outside world. However, people were curious that some clothes were indeed convenient and beautiful, especially some foreign skirt styles, which were quite popular among ladies. So some people in the capital imitate it.

Song Jiu handed over the profits of the industry. Seeing this situation, he chose more than 100 styles, designed various specifications, and sold them in the clothing store. In fact, it is better to say that the clothing store is a toy store, and the main price is to sell toys, and the price is the same as in the amusement park. However, not all guests can enter the amusement park. The amusement park is scattered in various attractions, and it is not complete. There are a variety here, and there are exquisite packaging. There are also quality assurance letters, which are covered with seals from various yamen to prevent people from counterfeiting. If it is a bulk transaction, the profit will be given up. There is really one or two bulk transactions every day.

Although these clothes were sold, they were originally used to enrich the variety of Hezhou products. There were two stores left in total, both of which were good locations. And the store was large, which was their own. Of course, there would be no dispute. The clothes shop was two. Half used to sell toys, half cut, one for men's clothing and the other for women's clothing. If you come to buy, there was also an exquisite gift box, with a beautifully printed thorn with a seal on it.

The yamen were paying dividends, and the manager took the servants to arrange goods.

Everyone focused on the glass, and they didn't expect clothes. The next day, Song Jiu went to the morning court and was fined by Zhao Kuangyin, but the other side of Hezhou was very lively. This was not the small stall vendors in the past, and many of the owners were big merchants from all over the country. Half of the goods they sold were of high quality. So they came to visit together, and half of them were not to play in the amusement park, but to visit goods. Most of them were women. Then they saw these clothes, which they used to imitate at home, but were not beautiful. Moreover, the female workers had made clothes for more than a year, and they followed them in style or handicrafts. The beautiful clothes were hung out, and the ladies coaxed them into them together.

Without preparation, the store is four, and the size of the big one is crowded with women shopping in the blink of an eye. People are crazy, and the more people there are, the more people they are behind, the more they squeeze in. Not only that, the clothes are not prepared enough, and some styles are like it, and they will be clamored for a little slower.

This made these women feel even more nervous, and the more they squeezed, the more they squeezed.

When Song Jiu returned home and asked Zhao Kuangyin to fine the salary, he felt a little unhappy. He also wanted to prevent Wang Jixun from becoming confused. He didn't care too much, so he just said, "Let's expand the recruitment." So he recruited again, but these female workers had to learn slowly. The most important thing is that they are all hand-sewn, and the speed is slow.

There are many good styles in the glass window, but the goods cannot be shipped in the workshop, and there are people queuing up in the store every day. After hearing this, Song Jiu said again, "Let's recruit more." But even if he recruits a thousand people, these later female workers have a training period and cannot solve the problem of out-of-stock in a short period of time. The yamen were dumbfounded when they saw it. This is really strange. They snatch everything and even have to snatch clothes."

As a result, various novel clothing quickly appeared in the capital, including some yamen who also wore Zhongshan suits, and the monarch and ministers also discussed this matter. How to deal with it? So Zhao Kuangyin called Song Jiu to the Political Affairs Hall. Song Jiu said three things. The first thing was that King Wuling of Zhao was a Hu clothing and archery. No matter how he died, Zhao State became stronger because of his transformation. It even directly led to the emergence of armor. The second thing was that women's skirts and men's robes were very inconvenient to do things. The third thing was that the clothes of Song Chu inherited some of the Tang Dynasty styles. Some were very bold and open. Relatively speaking, the new clothes were slightly more conservative. Not to mention anything else, it was like there were many underwear now. Some people wanted to be cool in summer and didn't wear anything inside. Once the robe was lifted, shame and things were exposed. But if there were underwear, would this happen? This was really conducive to the convenience of doing things, and it was also arousing the education of shame.

But Song Jiu also admitted with a wry smile that he never thought it would have been like this, otherwise it would not have been the case. At least prepare some clothes to store and open a separate store. Everyone wants to buy it, but no one advises them to buy it, and they don’t even have the usual advertisements. What should I do?

After hearing his words, the king and his minister looked at each other and laughed and cried.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi also sent someone to investigate the day before, and taught people that some of the clothes in Hezhou were similar to those in Western clothes, but not all of them. There were differences. According to their speculation, it might be that Song Jiu heard from his husband that he said. Then, based on the imagination of the costumes of the Song Dynasty, he was processed by a female worker. So various new clothes appeared. That is, it is a kind of clothing that combines Chinese and Western styles, unique in the world.

Song Jiu left.

The monarch and ministers were discussing that the ministers brought a few clothes that Zhao Kuangyin could not wear, so he asked the eunuchs to wear. When they put them on, they made people feel more energetic. At least one is a little bit, and it is indeed convenient to do things. The main thing is not a court dress or a mourning dress. There are strict rules, which are just casual clothes. What are the rules for casual clothes? From the Zhou Li to the Tang Li, it is not an exaggeration to put your chest and abdomen in summer. Or if you convict it for novelty, then the entire Hezhou industry will be closed. I can't think of it, so I have to disperse.

However, the two expansions resulted in nearly 400 female workers in the clothing workshop. It is estimated that when spring comes, the expansion will be needed. In order to make room, each inventory has to be rented into a warehouse and put it in.

This is just a clothing workshop, and the same is true for the wine workshop. The wine storage of more than two million Song jin is steamed and brewed every seven or eight months, making the wine grain and wine in and out. As well as other management servants, their clothes are clumsy manual work. Moreover, these tasks also require a lot of work.

Several industries have hired many people. If the workshops are added, more than 3,000 people will be hired from the two rivers. After the opera house gets up, it will also use people. It is obvious that it will be a three-way trip.

I won’t mention this. The miserable stores also have to hire people. This time, the small vendors who traded in the past are not the small vendors. Some of them have a big business. The most can use more than twenty people, and the fewest have to hire two or three people.

Most of the shops hired staff, and this one hired more people, and most of them were from Lianghe. Even Sister Song Jiu hired six or seven people, and the prostitutes who came to the hall to sing and compensate for their wine were not counted.

This is only from Hezhou. In Hebei, Hebei has gained the glory of Hezhou and its business is good, so more and more stores are opened. Not only Zhao Chengzong and others, but many of them are spontaneously opened by the people. This requires manpower. There are also many shops under construction. For example, Zhao Chengzong and others bought a lot of land, and only one-quarter of the actual development is not as good as Hezhou. If these houses are to be built, they also need manpower. It takes even more servants to build them. How many people do they need to use? How much labor can the rural villages in the suburbs be used?

Also, some people do not need to work, they have their own industries, do some small businesses, or become officials, how much labor can the two rivers squeeze out? Fortunately, under the leadership of Song Jiu, they began to hire a large number of female workers, otherwise the labor problem would have broken out long ago.

It's starting to explode now.

Many places are short of manpower, and people are always greedy. They are well treated in Hezhou, and they want to run to Hezhou together. Song Jiu is kind and righteous. Not only does he want those who have a contract, he also warns that the shops cannot accept it.

But this is a contract. Some have signed for a year, and some have signed for half a year. They cannot force them to sign. What should I do if it expires? The problem is that Hezhou will continue to employ people in the future. Don’t want Hezhou. When the flowers are blooming, when the cargo ships on the dock come, they need to carry and unload the goods.

If the shop is opened, but there is no business owner or the uncle of the runner, who will sell things, will it be Zhao Chengzong and the others who are the shopkeepers themselves? Of course, there are people in the capital, but they are far from Dongshuimen, so it is impossible for them to travel more than ten miles to go back and forth to work. Or learn from Song Jiu and send people down to buy people back. How expensive is that? A smart young man can get at least a few hundred yuan in money. At this time, men are more expensive than women. Zhao Chengzong's hair is almost gray these days, and he can't help himself, so he asked Song Jiu and others to find a solution together.

Yuping laughed at the side, and Zhao Chengzong said, "Miss Yu, don't be happy. Not only will I be in trouble, Jiulang will also be in trouble in the future. There are also people who will unload the goods next year. Will they force them to stop their work, ignore the store business, and use officers and soldiers to carry them to unload them?"

"Chengzong, don't be anxious. Can't you transfer the people from other places?"

"General Pan, I have already been able to adjust it. I also discussed it with my father, and I asked my father to scold him, saying that many fields in various prefectures and counties are deserted and lack of food. Should we do business together and ignore grain production? Then all of them are drinking the northwest wind. It's all because of General Wang Quanbin. If he hadn't been too greedy and transferred more than 100,000 Shu soldiers to the capital, would he still lack labor? These people are also greedy. I have inquired that the salary for work was only more than one chunk in a month. I gave two chunks and occasionally gave some rewards, but I was still not satisfied. Jiulang, why did you place your salary so high?"

"Dalang, how much profit does Hezhou have in various industries? If I can't bear it, will the servants be happy? It's not that the servants are not greedy, but that it turns out that I am not greedy."

"What should I do?"

"There is a way, not lack of labor, but whether you are cruel or not. If you are willing to build a similar house for the people and then sign a long contract, the people should not run back and forth. Even in the capital, they can recruit enough people."

"How much does it cost?" Zhao Chengzong was even more worried. Maybe Song Jiu would dare to do this, but he dared to do it only if he had profit. He had to raise his own profits and build a house. The land was so expensive, how much money could he make?

“There is still a way.”

“Tell me.”

"Send people to snatch them up and grab tenants from all the main households, especially Bashu. Some neighbors live a miserable life. They are not soldiers, your father is your husband, and you are not evil. This is the guarantee of reputation. Five or six thousand miles away, you can walk slowly, walk forty miles a day, and you can also walk to the capital in four months. A family of four or five people eat and drink on the road, which is simpler, and twenty dollars is enough. But you still have to build a house. They are neighbors, and the houses can be built a simpler, but even a simple house costs at least ten cents of money. But you can get at least two cheap labor."

"This is not OK, it's too far away, and the people may not be willing to come."

"Then the last way out, waiting for disasters, wherever there is a disaster, please invite the victims to come. But the house still needs to be built, and if you don't live in it, who has the heart to do things for you?"

Zhao Chengzong was confused.
