If the mirrors hadn't been made so big, they wouldn't have needed such a big carriage to transport them.
Then the difficulty of transportation and the safety factor will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, these people with five surnames and seven hopes decided to find the King of Shu again and discuss with him to see if they could make the mirror smaller.
Or, simply ask the king of Shu to ship the mirror out, and they can pay enough for shipping.
…
At this time, Li Min, the king of Shu, was preparing to lease all the land confiscated from the Zhao family in Yizhou to the people of Yizhou.
Naturally, if it is only planted naturally by the people of Yizhou, it will naturally not be contracted out.
Because crops in this era are ripe only once a year.
Even winter wheat has not been introduced.
This month, even if the land is contracted, there is no way to plant it.
Therefore, without other measures, these lands will definitely not be leased this year.
It would be a pity to let these lands lie idle for a year.
Therefore, Li Min was prepared to take some special measures.
For example, he can hire people to work on the land and then grow crops specified by him.
The people of Yizhou are living a very miserable life.
Li Min decided to introduce some new crops, starting with Yizhou, to improve people's lives.
Therefore, under Li Min's order, Yizhou immediately issued a notice.
The governor of Yizhou recruited people to plant the land.
Each person can contract five acres of land and plant crops according to prescribed methods.
And each person can get a thousand coins per year.
One thousand cents is really not much.
But for the people of Yizhou, this is already a huge sum of money.
Because even if they cultivate five acres of land, after deducting the taxes they pay, they will not earn a thousand cash.
The income from this job is simply too high.
It is said that this notice was personally issued by Li Min, the king of Shu.
Today, Yizhou is quietly undergoing some changes.
For example, salt plants, glass factories, cement factories, and steel factories all require a large number of manpower.
Well, there is also the construction of new cities, which also requires a lot of manpower.
In these factories, workers are provided with three meals a day and a daily wage of ten cents.
This kind of salary is not worth mentioning in Yizhou.
Taking the entire Tang Dynasty as an example, wages are high.
The manpower gap required by these factories can reach about one-fifth of the entire Yizhou labor force.
The lives of these ordinary people who are able to work in factories are naturally becoming more prosperous day by day.
A wage of ten cents a day is equivalent to three hundred cents a month, and in a year it is thirty-six hundred cents.
If this money was spent in the past, it would definitely belong to a middle-class family.
This is something they can't even imagine.
And those families who have not been able to work in these factories are very envious of these families who have jobs to do.
In the past, everyone lived through hard times together, and that was fine.
But now, they are still living a hard life, but they can only watch others become rich and well-off.
That kind of feeling is very bad.
But now, Yizhou is recruiting workers again.
But this time, the wages offered by the governor were not as high as those earned by working in those factories.
But for the people of Yizhou, it is also a huge amount of income.
Moreover, farming is their old profession, so there is no danger.
Those who work in factories have high incomes, but there are also certain risks.
I heard that there have been accidents in steel plants and cement plants, and people have lost their lives.
However, because the factory is willing to pay for it, the injured person’s soup and medicine expenses are not covered.
When you are recuperating, you will be given a compensation that is much higher than your salary.
They have never encountered such treatment.
As a result, the injured people felt that they had taken advantage of the factory and felt embarrassed.
As for those who are killed, the pension is as high as 10,000 yuan.
With this money, the future lives of those families who have suffered accidents will be guaranteed.
Of course, no matter how much money you give, no one wants anything to happen.
If you farm, there will be no danger.
Therefore, after the notice recruiting people for farming was posted, people gathered to apply for the job.
And this time, the entire Yizhou also recruited many people.
After all, the Zhao family really has a lot of land, occupying one-tenth of the entire Yizhou land.
Li Min directly handed over this task to Wu Meiniang.
Since Wu and Mei Niang are going to be trained into a strong business woman like a female CEO, then her abilities must be developed as soon as possible.
This is a strong woman who has the ability to be the emperor and manage a country in an orderly manner.
The ability is definitely very strong.
Li Min believes that with some training, Wu Meiniang will soon be qualified for this job.
However, Wu Meiniang mistakenly regarded this matter as a test for herself by the King of Shu.
Therefore, Wu Meiniang was particularly attentive to how to organize these people, and it can be said that she put in a lot of effort.
Although it was the first time for Wu Meiniang to control so many people, she was actually well organized and without any chaos.
This made those around Li Min who wanted to see Wu Meiniang's excitement take a breath of air.
This little lady is definitely not to be underestimated!
…
These civilian workers also need some training before starting work.
Naturally, the crops Li Min wanted to plant could not be the existing crops in Datang.
These crops are all seeds that Li Min purchased directly in the mall.
At this stage, Li Min decided to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and peppers first.
Among them, potatoes and sweet potatoes are high-yielding crops.
With these two crops, the people of the Tang Dynasty would not go hungry.
Corn and peanuts can be combined with winter wheat.
Change the original planting cycle of one crop a year to three crops every two years.
Three crops in two years is equivalent to giving the people an extra year of harvest in two years.
The cultivation of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and peppers is different from those ordinary crops.
It must be trained in advance and then planted according to the requirements.
Fortunately, these people are all hired workers.
When they get paid, they do whatever the employer asks of them, and they are very obedient.
There is great power in numbers, and Wu Zetian's organization was extremely effective.
This also results in a very fast planting speed.
It only took more than ten days to plant all these crops.
Of course, planting crops is only the preliminary work.
Next, it needs to be taken care of carefully.
It can be said that Li Min's requirements for tending these crops were very strict, so that the hired people had almost no time to be lazy.
