Zhu Biao, like Lao Zhu, was a resolute man. Without any delay, he took the people to the place where the coal mines were mined the next day.
Seeing the mine carts speeding down the mountainside in an endless stream, Zhu Biao couldn't help but marvel at Han Du's whimsical idea. It was the carts of coal that flew down the mountainside that fed the people of the entire capital.
living expenses.
Now this place is no longer what it was at the beginning. Except for the two bright silver tracks that have not changed, other changes around it are really great. The work sheds for miners alone stretch out from the left and right sides.
I don't know how far it is, but from where Zhu Biao is standing, I can't see the end at a glance.
There are more than a dozen people unloading the coal. They work in teams of two. Whenever a fully loaded mine car arrives, the two of them step forward and pry open the locked car door with their iron picks. The coal becomes like a pile of coal.
It poured down like a tidal wave.
Zhu Biao came out in casual clothes today, but even his casual clothes were made of the finest silk. Seeing that he was dressed in an extraordinary way and followed by his entourage, the guards thought that he was a young master from some family who was traveling.
Dare to step forward to stop him and let him walk inside.
When Zhu Biao saw an older man resting with a shovel, he stepped forward and asked, "Dare I ask this old man, is it hard for you to do this job?"
"It's bitter, why isn't it bitter?" Visitors also saw Zhu Biao's extraordinary bearing and did not dare to neglect him.
"How much money can you get every month for such hard work?" Zhu Biao watched others sweating as they quickly loaded shovelfuls of coal onto the oxcart. Handu modified the two-wheeled oxcart into
The three-wheeled vehicle was originally intended to be converted into a four-wheeled vehicle, but without power steering, the four-wheeled vehicle is not easy to turn when fully loaded. On the contrary, although the load capacity of the three-wheeled vehicle is not as good as that of the four-wheeled vehicle, it is still larger than that of the two-wheeled vehicle, and
Steering is also very convenient.
"We can get a total of 500 Wen every month. Those who are new here can only get 800 Wen, while those in charge can get 500 Wen." Seeing that Zhu Biao was very curious, the man simply started a series of
I told him everything.
The most he can get is only five hundred coins? Zhu Biao's face turned dark. Although his son of the coal mine no longer paid attention to the coal mine after he was forced to go by his mother. But even if he held the coal mine's butt
For several months, the money received every month has not been less than 3,000 guan. And the scale now is much larger than that then, so the income should naturally be greater.
As for the people who unload and load trucks here, there are at most fifty or sixty people. In other words, with all these people combined, they can only earn a hundred guan a month at most.
"Don't you think it's too little to earn the same amount of money every month?" Zhu Biao asked again.
But the man shook his head and said, "It's quite a lot."
"How come it's so much? As far as Mr. Guben knows, if you work for someone in the capital, it's only fifty cents a day. Calculated in this way, you can earn five hundred cents a month, but you can only earn one cent.
"
But the man laughed, shook his head and said: "That's not how the master calculated the debt. The master also said that this is the capital. In our county, it is considered good to earn forty cash a day. Usually, it is only thirty cash."
. And it’s still a day’s work, and only one day’s profit will be made. If you don’t do it, you will lose a penny. But here it is different, no matter how much we do
, we can get a steady amount of money every month. Even if we only work for half a month because of rain, we can still get a steady amount of money. Moreover, food and accommodation are included here. Although the place to live is just a shed, it is not bad.
, and the food is better than at home.”
"I dare to ask, Master, who wouldn't want to do such a job? Who would think the wages are less? To be honest, Master, just because this coal mine is in our county, all the people employed in this mine are people from our county.
People from other counties want to come, but we don't agree. The young master doesn't even know, but just for this reason, there are countless good girls from other counties who want to marry us."
Zhu Biao was speechless for a while. He obviously felt that the wages paid by Han Du were too little and thought that these people were suffering. But the reality made his face hurt. Judging from the man's tone, they were clearly enjoying happiness.
"How did you eat?"
When it came to eating, the man became even more excited and said with a smile: "Young Master came at the right time. Dinner will be served in a while. You'd better go and see it yourself."
Zhu Biao heard this and had no choice but to wait.
When the meal started, Zhu Biao went to see it with his own eyes. There was a big pot, and all kinds of vegetables were stir-fried for a few times, and then water was added to boil them. To be honest, Zhu Biao had no appetite for such big pot dishes.
Yes, let alone eating it, just looking at it made him frown.
But he saw other people eating very happily.
Can you be unhappy? What this big pot dish pays attention to is enough salt. Although it is stewed randomly, there is meat in it. Even if it is a big pot dish, there are only three or four kilograms of pork, but after counting, every
An individual can eat more than a dozen slices. It is not easy for ordinary people to eat meat on weekdays. Usually they can only eat a little bit of meat during the Chinese New Year and festivals. This is only possible in good years.
For example, when we encounter a drought like this year, it is common for us not to eat meat even once throughout the year.
Zhu Biao saw with his own eyes that everyone was eating extremely sweet food and no one paid any attention to him. He couldn't help but sigh and left here feeling a little lonely.
Seeing that he looked wrong, the guard couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said: "It's okay for Gu. I just think Han Du is right. For the common people, it's enough to have food, clothing and warmth. But it's not easy to do it."
Keeping the people of the world fed and clothed is easy to say, but Zhu Biao knows how difficult it is.
The next day, Zhu Biao invited Han Du to the East Palace because he wanted to treat Han Du to dinner.
When Han Du received the message from the chamberlain in the East Palace, he didn't even raise his head to look at the sun in the sky to make sure that the sun was not rising from the west.
When did many people from Lao Zhu's family come to his house to eat and drink for free, and now it was his turn to eat and drink for free?
Han Du followed the chamberlain to the East Palace in a hurry. Seeing that Zhu Biao had been waiting at the table for a long time, Han Du smiled and hurried forward to pay his respects, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
"Sit down." Zhu Biao gestured with his hand expressionlessly.
Han Du was not polite. Since we were here to eat, of course we had to sit down and eat comfortably.
Zhu Biao didn't hesitate. When he saw Han Du sit down, he directly ordered people to serve the food. Zhu Biao, like Lao Zhu, was a resolute person. Without any delay, he took the people to the place where the coal mine was mined the next day.
Seeing the mine carts speeding down the mountainside in an endless stream, Zhu Biao couldn't help but marvel at Han Du's whimsical idea. It was the carts of coal that flew down the mountainside that fed the people of the entire capital.
