Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Six: Great Rejoicing

Many things are not easy to sort out.

Managing ten thousand people is completely different from managing one million people. Just like a good sergeant, you may not be able to be a good general.

Qin Shaoyou used to manage Meng Jin in an orderly manner. At that time, he felt that he was a very human and talented person. But now, he realized that he was a candle, and the increase in the population of geometric numbers means the burden of increasing geometric numbers.

Fortunately, he has Wang Ju.

Wang Ju is very wise and is also good at document exchanges on documents. However, he has also felt it has been difficult recently, but after slowly adjusting, he finally became more comfortable.

However, Wang Ju had a fatal flaw, so when Qin Shao lobby wanted to find a way out for so many people, he just smiled bitterly. He was good at governance, but not good at business. Stabilizing the place, maintaining public order, stabilizing people's hearts, and promoting education. These traditional projects are the things that the children of the gentry who were born in the gentry and were taught for a long time, but finding work for people is really not his strength.

The reason why Qin Shaoyou felt it was difficult was that the first difficulty at the beginning was that he initially promoted animal power, while reducing grain prices and land prices. In this way, it not only increased the production efficiency of farmers, but also promoted the prosperity of industry and commerce. But the problem is that after promoting animal power, there is no need for so many people in the countryside. A family of four or five people, guarding thirty acres of thin fields, is still struggling, so the spare labor force will inevitably pour into Mengjin and the county towns of each county. If these people are not handled well, they are idle people and the root cause of the turmoil. But if they are handled well, they are the continuous driving force of the entire Mengjin and the cornerstone of Shence Mansion.

Then the problem comes. In Mengjin, Qin Shaoyou only needed to find a way out for tens of thousands of laborers, which is very simple. He can accommodate everyone in a few big deals. He specializes in one place and strengthens an industry, which is enough to allow everyone to live and work in peace, such as tea and popsicle. As long as Mengjin has several advantageous industries, it is enough to make everyone have no worries about food and clothing. But the problem is, if the number of labor force increases by hundreds of thousands.

At least now. This is an astronomical figure for Qin Shaoyou. In fact, there are some clues in Mengjin's problem now, because the industry is single after all, and a large amount of idle labor has begun to influx, which has led to an increase in labor and the wages have begun to gradually fall. After all, there are too many people. With more people, even a coolie on the dock, there are still a few people who are robbing them. In the past, they were asking grandpa to take jobs, but now they are the opposite. In this way, not only are there many refugees in the city, but the quality of life of the original Mengjin people has also begun to decline sharply.

Although it is not enough to breed dissatisfaction, if this problem is ignored, it will not be great when it bursts out. The only good thing is that after Qin Shaoyou lowered the grain price, he used agriculture to feed the industry and commerce in the city. Although the salary in various places has generally dropped, the rice price is much cheaper than before, and it can still be barely maintained.

He found a job for hundreds of thousands of people. When he thought of this, Qin Shaoyou had a great headache. He finally began to face up to his own problems and had to make another plan for Hongnong.

On the one hand, we naturally need to recruit a group of elite warriors. The scale of the Shen Ce Army must be more than 10,000 people. This will alleviate the current predicament. In addition, what else?

In the past, the Qin family's industry was dominant. Although some merchants learned to make small fuss and set up some workshops, these were just roles of drinking soup from the Qin family and could not absorb so many jobs.

Obviously... it is the most important thing to attract a large number of people to invest.

How to attract seems to be a problem again. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many rich people, and huge businesses everywhere. If you let them get involved in the tea deal, they must rob them. However, there are not many people interested in ordinary production. After all, it is not easy to build a workshop. It is necessary to recruit workers, and to look for production tools everywhere. You also need to think about selling goods. You have to worry about everything. If you are not careful, you may have to pay all your capital.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the problem of insufficient attraction. No one is fool. In fact, most of those giants make money by relying on channels, or relying on the gentry and family to eat scraps, or relying on stockpiling goods. This kind of money can be worry-free, and it is more likely to generate huge profits. After all, in this era of inconvenient transportation, when you transport goods to two hundred miles away, it is a specialty. Specialties are valuable. Why do you have to spend so much money and effort to make that thankless thing?

In essence, everything is just profit. Qin Shaoyou cannot give up favorable things, and everyone refuses to do anything that can be unprofitable.

Qin Shaoyou cannot give up the sale of tea and popsicles.

Then the only way is to create the illusion of prosperity.

Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment and suddenly said to Wang Ju: "Mr. Wang, Hongnong County is now in trouble. Now, since Chang'an is in trouble, we might as well do a few big things while we are taking advantage of this time. How about it?"

Wang Ju said: "What does Your Highness want to do?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "First, to build roads, all counties must open up canals and connect them..."

Wang Ju was startled and said, "This...is a lot of money. We have spent a lot of money over the years. The development of the canal is probably no less than the cost of building a city."

Wang Ju said the truth. When the counties are connected, this is a river channel of hundreds of miles. The original river channel needs to be widened, and the shallow waters need to be dug out. Not to mention the materials spent, just human resources, this is astronomical figure.

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "Secondly, it is to build a post pavilion ten miles from each county to provide special services for rest, and it is managed by household housing. On the one hand, it is more convenient to convey official documents, and on the other hand, it is also available for rest for business travel along the way."

Qin Shaoyou's idea of ​​the Ten Mile Road Pavilion was to promote commerce, which is also impossible. In many places, it is simply barren land. It is precisely because of this that bandits are prone to breeding. Those are places that cannot be managed by the government. However, building road pavilions everywhere can effectively manage some blind spots. In this way, ordinary people are much more convenient and safe when they go out when they are in Hongnong County.

Qin Shaoyou said again: "There are also wharfs everywhere that need to be built. Not only that, the post roads everywhere must be repaired, the river embankments must be reinforced, and areas with water shortage must be responsible for digging wells and schools in various counties..."

Qin Shaoyou knew everything about his family and was very happy to say it.

Wang Ju was shocked when he heard this.

This is really the ancestor who spends money. There is not enough gold and silver to play like this. Although the Shence Mansion is still surplus now, it is hard to say whether it can ensure the balance of income and expenditure in the accounts by doing so many things at once. However, once the income and expenditure in the accounts are uneven, it will be extremely bad.

Qin Shaoyou seemed to be still unsatisfied, and felt that there was nothing else to do. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "It seems that there is only so many. In short, there are no missing things that should be raised. You can ask someone to settle the accounts if you want to spend a lot."

Wang Ju was shocked: "I'm afraid it's not less than tens of millions of yuan." This is still a conservative number. There are too many things, and he didn't have time to calculate some things. Just talking about developing the canal, this is a huge project, and I don't know how much it will cost.

But Qin Shaoyou seemed to be old and godly: "Just so much?"

Wang Ju thought for a while: "But Shen Ce Mansion, I'm afraid..."

"How can such a lot of projects be built in one or two days? We can save money slowly, but we must do things. If you arrange this, you have to rush the promulgation of the promulgation hall before the meeting is held, and the matter will be implemented, so that the promulgation hall will be saved by the time the promulgation hall will be complicated."

Seeing that Qin Shaoyou was determined, Wang Ju just shook his head: "Students give you a try first, and calculate how much it costs first."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After seeing off Qin Shaoyou, Wang Ju felt that it was not easy at all. Qin Shaoyou was a person who did big things, otherwise how could he have such a big appetite? However, Wang Ju had some hidden worries. If he continued to do this, wouldn’t he learn from Emperor Yang of Sui and be very happy about his achievements, and he might end up causing great trouble.

Thinking of this, Wang Ju felt heavy in his heart.

However, he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly returned to the inner historian room of Shence Mansion and ordered several officials from the money and grain room to meet him. He roughly told what Qin Shaoyou wanted to say. These officials were shocked. Someone said: "What a huge project, it is even far above building a city. Now I have to do so many things, I'm afraid..."

Wang Ju was also upset, but he had to say, "This is your highness's order. I want to persuade you, but is it useful to persuade you? In short, calculate the general expenses first and come up with a detailed rule. You can think about money and food yourself and ask the workers from the workshop to come."

The people in the workshop were full of joy. When the general manager Yang Wulian heard this, his eyes were shining. He felt unbelievable: "Mr. Wang, does Your Highness really mean that?"

Wang Ju couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Why are you laughing at?"

Yang Wulian laughed and said, "No, no, no, there is no intention of making fun of him. But if your highness has made up his mind, the subordinate will naturally have to work hard." It will not be continued
