Shen Bing is using the modern knowledge system to develop Yunzhong County.
What is needed for industrial development?
The high school geography teacher drew the key points on the blackboard: "City, government, transportation, labor, technology".
Although Shen Bing disliked geography when he was in high school, he still memorized these elements by heart.
There was no way...who made the girl he liked at that time choose geography?
As a result, this became Shen Bing's weakness in the college entrance examination. In the end, he only passed the second level, and his love life naturally fell through.
Unexpectedly, these geographical knowledge could be used in Yunzhong County in this time and space.
Is there a market?
Of course there is. At this time, all the countries in the Central Plains were struggling with food and clothing. In addition to fighting for land, they were cultivating land and weaving cloth. Almost everyone was weaving cloth, and the market demand was extremely huge.
In addition, heading west from Houtao you enter the Hexi Corridor, which is the choke point to the Western Regions and is also part of the Silk Road...
Why not open up the Silk Road and expand business to the Western Regions?
A loom can weave cloth, and of course it can also weave silk!
Is there any policy support?
Must have.
General Shen Bing personally arrested him and also had the support of Ying Zheng. It can be said that he was given the green light all the way.
Traffic will be available soon.
The labor force is coming soon...in fact, some have already arrived and many are on the way.
Since the leaflets were distributed to Dai Kingdom, many people have returned to Yunzhong County one after another, but the number is not large yet.
As for technology…
Well, at this point, as long as Shen Bing is here, it will definitely occupy the technological commanding heights, and it is foreseeable that it will have technological advantages for a long time in the future.
Therefore, it is difficult for Yunzhong County not to develop.
When there is development, there will be people, and when there are people, everything will be possible. This is the most important thing.
Therefore, when people look at problems from different angles, they often come to different conclusions.
If you ask ordinary people what is important?
Of course, money is important, and wealth is important. Once you have money, you can buy what you want, although not all, but most of them.
But looking at the world from Shen Bing's perspective...
Do money and wealth really matter?
Money and wealth are almost at his fingertips, even when he made paper. He can use paper as money in this world.
However, even if there are mountains of gold and mountains of silver in the house filled with food and treasures... wouldn't everything be lost with just one order from Ying Zheng?
Or maybe the Xiongnu gathered a large number of soldiers and plundered them, only to lose their lives and wealth?
So Shen Bing has long seen clearly that the greatest wealth in the world is not money, but power.
With power, you can own everything, even the lives of others.
What Shen Bing is doing now is to use industrialization to make money, and then use the money to create a large number of employment opportunities, using employment opportunities, environment and interests to attract "people" from other places to Yunzhong County and gather them in Shen Bing's account Down.
What happened next developed steadily as Shen Bing expected.
First, dozens or hundreds of Dai people sneaked back to Yunzhong County.
These people originally planned to come back to farm, but Shen Bing told them that their fields were limited and they missed the farming season. At this time, they could not support their families even if they farmed.
Why not... work for Yunzhong County?
At first, many people were unwilling to accept it.
The reason makes Shen Bing a little bit dumbfounded, because the job is unstable and the social status is not high.
This is true.
The reason why the social status was not high was because in this era there were "scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants" in the ranking. Farmers were one level higher than workers, and no one wanted to lower their status and enter the labor register.
The reason why migrant workers are unstable is that migrant workers in this era are generally casual workers. If this family needs to build a house, they will hire a worker to do it for a few days, and if that family needs it, they will hire a worker for a few more days. They are wandering around and uncertain.
Relatively speaking, farmers are much more stable. As long as they work in the fields, there will be a harvest without any accidents such as disasters.
Therefore, workers in this era are almost synonymous with "not doing their job properly".
They completely did not realize that "working" after Shen Bing's industrialization did not have the problem of "instability" at all. Working at this time was even much more stable than farming... You can get paid by working in textile factories regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. , there is no need to look at the harvest.
However, the Warring States Period was a semi-slave and semi-feudal country, and their understanding and concept of workers were pre-industrial, and it was difficult for Shen Bing to change them.
But this is not a problem for Shen Bing.
This matter is the responsibility of Fatzitun... As mentioned before, Fatzitun has a business acumen and is good at making careful calculations, and the entire textile workshop is left to him.
Shen Bing only asked Fatzitun to give three conditions:
"You will be paid ten cents a day during the probation period."
"Twenty dollars per day after formal employment."
“After encircling new land or recovering existing land in the Loop, you can choose to work or farm!”
Common people:……
You must know that in this era, you only get eight yuan for a day of hard labor. During the probation period, you will be given ten yuan for one day, and you will be given twenty yuan for the next day?
This wage is more than twice as high as wages elsewhere.
If calculated as rations...it's amazing, two yuan can feed one person, and a regular employee can feed ten people with twenty yuan.
Usually when I was farming, I would get up early in the fields in the dark, wind and rain to barely feed five mouths. If the harvest was not good, I would inevitably go hungry, but now I can easily feed ten people.
So is there any need to ask?
Of course I work!
In the face of huge interests, what does social status mean?
But at this time, Shen Bing became coquettish again:
"If you don't pass the probation period, you can arrange other jobs or start farming!"
Shen Bing actually captured the people's mentality: the rarer something is, the more people will snatch it.
For example, now Shen Bing is asking the common people to work with these generous conditions, but the common people will hesitate... There must be difficulties in this matter when there is such a generous reward but no one pays attention to it.
But now if many people are vying for it, and they have to work hard and compete to get it, then the situation is different, and everyone will rush in.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the people's attitude to change 180 degrees, and the number of people who wanted to work went from being ignored to being sought after by everyone.
Cang is responsible for training and arranging workers.
There are workers in all fields, including those who make and repair waterwheels, those who operate spinning machines and looms, and those who build roads and transport...
In short, everyone draws on their own strengths, those who are strong contribute their efforts, those who can operate boats and cars are used for transportation, and women who can weave are hired in large numbers to work in textile factories.
As for the wages, it was not difficult for Shen Bing. He could get working capital by transporting a batch of paper from the paper mill to the Central Plains for sale.
In fact, wages are not settled in coins but in grain.
This is also what the people hope for, because they need food to feed themselves and their families more than money.
