Chapter 236 Stimulating the Economy(1/2)
In the afternoon, it began to rain heavily in Bianjing City.
A hint of coolness spreads into the streets and alleys.
Wang He held an oil-paper umbrella and hurriedly walked into the master's house.
As the merchant with the largest supply of hemp rope in the entire Bianjing City, Wang He has never only made money for himself.
There is also a family behind him, and his family is a relative of the Song Dynasty, who is the emperor's uncle!
He is not a fool like Wang Shen who digs his own grave.
It was the Prince Consort and the Jinzhou Observer Wang Shiyue who had a very close relationship with the princess.
Now, although the princess unfortunately passed away.
But the emperor showed great kindness!
The princess's two sons were both generous and favored, and they were already far away from the county when they were ten years old.
The Prince Consort sent his envoys three times over the course of several months to express condolences.
There are more than a dozen gold and silver objects as rewards.
Therefore, although the Wang family is not as conspicuous as the Gao family and the Xiang family, it is still one of the few extravagant families in Bianjing City.
When Wang He entered the back house of his master's house, Wang Shiyue was ordering tea.
Milky white tea soup floats on the tea cup.
As the tea soup rotates, colorful ripples flow along the walls of the expensive tea cups.
"Lord..." Wang He came to Wang Shiyue and respectfully performed the courtesy of a servant.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Shiyue didn't raise his head, he just asked.
Wang He is the servant of his family.
The relationship between a servant and the master's family is not that of a family member, but better than a family member.
"Kaifeng Mansion posted a notice to openly purchase a large number of sacks..."
"Requires strong, reliable, large quantity... no limit on quantity..."
"Oh?" Wang Shiyue took a sip of the tea soup he had made himself. Feeling the mellow taste and long aftertaste, he slowly closed his eyes and asked, "What's the problem?"
Wang He replied: "It is said that this matter was personally ordered by the officials..."
"This is something unprecedented..."
In the past, when purchasing goods like this, where did Kaifeng government need to post notices?
The business affairs of the city were allocated directly to the merchants.
Limited price, limited time, limited quantity.
Those who came back to do business quoted a premium to the superiors and simply put the money in their pockets.
This is because we are at the feet of the Emperor.
If you go to Luoyang, Jingzhaofu, Hangzhou, Yangzhou.
If the government wants something, it is really up to the city officials to set the price.
Even if they want to file a lawsuit, no one dares to accept it.
Wang Shiyue put down the tea cup, looked at Wang He, and said: "Money is nothing more than what is outside the body!"
"What's more, today's world values family ties..."
"Since the Emperor has made a decree, you must actively participate..."
"Of course..." Wang Shiyue said: "If you don't get any benefits, then do something a little bit and do a job..."
Wang He bowed and said, "Reporting to the lord is not without benefits..."
"But there are so many benefits that the villain is afraid!"
"Um?"
"The emperor's decree is that one bolt of silk can be exchanged for sixty sacks, or a piece of money can be used for twenty..."
"If you calculate it this way, one sack is thirty-three cents..."
"Even if the requirements are high, you can earn at least a dozen cash from a sack..."
"If you don't have a conscience... you can earn at least 20 cents..."
After Wang Shiyue heard this, he was surprised: "Is it so lenient?"
Wang He nodded.
"Why don't you hurry up and make sacks!"
One earns ten cents, and one hundred thousand earns one million yuan!
Almost two thousand strings!
This is a way of making money falling from the sky.
"But what if... in the end, someone refuses to pay, or withholds the money in the middle?" This is what Wang He is worried about.
This is not the first day that middle- and lower-level officials have taken advantage of cards.
"Don't worry and do it!" Master Wang said: "Who dares to use the Wang family's money? Are you tired of living?"
Today, family ties are the most important thing.
"No..." Wang He received Master Wang's promise and immediately kowtowed happily.
But then, he had another problem.
"But what about the manpower?" Wang He asked: "Kaifeng Mansion is recruiting very hard, and there are only a hundred craftsmen in the family..."
"Even if you make up sacks day and night, you can only make a thousand sacks a day..."
Wang Shiyue slowly gained an expression as he listened.
"That's a problem..." He stood up and took two steps: "But in Bianjing City, are you still worried that you won't be able to find anyone?"
"Especially those wives..."
"Give them eighty yuan a day's wages... no..." Wang Shiyue thought of the craftsmen of Ling Jinyuan: "Send a message, Wang's hemp rope workshop is recruiting workers..."
"If you make a sack, you will be given five cents..."
"If you have a mortgage, you can take the hemp rope home to weave it..."
The Lingjin Academy and Weaving Academy of the Song Dynasty used this method to improve efficiency.
Wages are paid according to the quantity and quality of woven fabrics and embroidery.
This is the result of reforms after Xining.
After doing this, the efficiency of the Ayajin Institute and the Weaving Institute has been greatly improved.
The performance of officials has also improved step by step.
The female workers are even more happy, after all, this way they can earn one or two more dollars every month.
Some female workers with good skills can even earn dozens of dollars more!
Wang Shiyue once received a mission from Lingjinyuan, so he knew this very well.
Now that something happened, Wang Shiyue naturally thought of Lingjinyuan's method.
Wang He was stunned for a moment, and Wang Shiyue said: "Why don't you go quickly?"
From now on, when you go to Kaifeng Mansion to stop purchasing, every moment will be money!
Wang He hurriedly bowed again and went out to follow Wang Shiyue's instructions and send people to the streets and alleys around the Wang family's hemp rope workshop to publicize it.
At the beginning, although the women still didn't understand.
But after hearing the price offered by the Wang family, they became excited.
If you weave a sack, you will be paid five cents.
There are so many children at home, and there are also mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law who can help out.
At the end of the day, if you weave twenty sacks, wouldn't you be able to get one hundred dollars?
Even if the husband at home goes to the stacking yard to fight against the baggage, he will probably only earn a hundred to a hundred and fifty yuan in wages at the end of the day.
That's it, it's not like I can live every day.
As a result, enthusiasm suddenly soared.
For the Wang family workshop, just pay the hemp rope and wages, and then wait for the inspection.
Because so many people were mobilized, by the afternoon of the next day, Wang He had already brought 5,000 sacks and sent them to the Kaifeng government office.
Quanzhi Kaifeng Prefecture Cai Jing was shocked!
How could anyone be so fast?
