The tea guests interjected: "And I heard that Haigong was going to inspect Suzhou, and our squires here summed it up and returned all these fields that occupied the year." ”

"Oh?" Hai Rui asked strangely: "There are also squires who took the initiative to withdraw from the field?" It's really new. ”

"We have a lot of new things in Kunshan, where is this?" The tea guests laughed and said: "In short, after our lord came, the common people have more ways to live, who is willing to work for the landlord's family for a year, and in the end they can't even eat?" ”

"The landlord's family thinks farming is boring...... the tea boss refills Hai Rui's cup and says: "The big families of our clan have discussed that we want to lease the family's land to Kunkaisi for a long time, so as to free up energy to concentrate on business." ”

"Oh?" The more Hai Rui listened, the fresher it became, and asked Peng Qianhu to take out more than a dozen copper coins and invite the tea guests to have refreshments. Then he asked, "Isn't Suzhou in a recession lately?" Some time ago, I made trouble because of the loss of the weavers. Why is Kunshan more alive? ”

Although Hai Gong is a god, he still has no concept of the magic of the big infrastructure.

"Didn't you say that? Because our lord! "Although the tea customers don't know much about the big infrastructure, they can clearly feel the changes in the past six months.

"Since we started to build the embankment, we can't finish much work in the county!"

"Aren't there any wages for repairing embankments?" When Hai Rui was building the Xin'an River embankment in Chun'an County, he also asked the people to bring their own dry food.

"That's all the old yellow calendar, when we repair the first phase in the county, we will have enough to eat." The tea guests said: "In the second phase, Kunkaisi will give the start of the construction money." ”

"Huh?" Hai Rui couldn't help but be embarrassed, it was really better for people to die than people, and goods for throwing away, and what he did in Chun'an, he was so sorry for the villagers. "How much does it cost to see the moon?"

"It's hard to say, there are subsidies and incentives. Seeing that the moon rice, flour, oil, and salt are all distributed, and it will cost more than one or two silver. The old men were not without envy: "And they are in charge of food as before, it is all net profit." When the year is good, I can't find such a job. ”

"Many of them are all three or five people in battle," a tea customer pointed to the tea boss and smiled: "It's like his son, two daughters-in-law, and his wife are also cooking at the construction site, don't be too happy to make money." ”

"It's all hard-earned money." The tea boss smiled from ear to ear and said, "Work hard for a winter, and marry a daughter-in-law for the third child next year." ”

Hai Rui understood that this was exactly when he quarreled with Zhao Hao...... Cross it out and change it to 'debate', what the kid called 'the law of diminishing marginal utility'.

Zhao Hao said that when people are extremely thirsty, drinking the first glass of water is the most thirst-quenching and useful. But when you have drunk the margin of 'not thirsty at all', it is useless to continue drinking, and you will feel more and more uncomfortable. This is the diminishing marginal utility of water.

The same is true for the allocation of social wealth. There are many uses for money, and according to its importance, it can be roughly divided into four levels: survival use, life use, spiritual use, and squandering use.

As the amount of money people get increases, they will use it for unimportant purposes. This is also a manifestation of diminishing marginal utility.

Obviously, when social resources are relatively limited and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, appropriately tilting resources towards the people at the bottom will have the greatest effect on the whole society.

This is exactly what Lao Tzu said, 'The way of heaven, more than loss, make up for the short'!

Hai Rui once again clearly felt that Zhao Hao's sentence 'the key to social stability depends on the efficiency of social resource allocation' is indeed very reasonable.

Kunkaisi can obviously use the people of Kunshan for nothing and swallow all the benefits. But it can take out a part of the profits to distribute to the people, so that the wealth can be allocated more efficiently in the county and play a higher marginal utility, which is really impressive.

It's a pity that everyone understands the truth of releasing water to raise fish, but everyone still wants to eat and monopolize it, how many people are willing to take the initiative to make profits?

I'm afraid, if it weren't for Zhao Shouzheng's relationship, Kunkaisi or Jiangnan Company wouldn't be so generous, right?

At this time, he was in Xishan, and Zhao Gongzi, who had not yet gotten off the boat, sneezed loudly. In fact, Ben Gongzi is a noble person, a pure person, and a person who has escaped from low-level interests......

~~

Seeing that there was really no one to take care of the business, Hai Rui simply stopped acting, and sat directly next to a few tea customers to talk.

He asked, "I heard that the third phase of the project will be completed as soon as this month." Will there be anything good here next year? It won't last long. ”

"The old gentleman is not worried. The eldest man has already said that next year the county will build roads and bridges, dig ditches and clear dredging. When these tasks are done, Kunkaisi still has two or three hundred thousand acres of land, waiting for people to plant. ”

But the tea guests were not worried: "Mulberry cotton is planted on the ground, and in the future, we will have to raise silkworms to pick cotton, reel silk and gin, right?" Doesn't it all have to be manpowered? Kunkaisi promised that if he worked for them, he would only earn more than he did now, not less than he did now. ”

"Besides, Kun Kaisi also took over the job in Chongming, and if he wants to make more money, he will go to repair the sea pond. I heard that those who go there are all counted according to the craftsmen, and they start at two taels a month. The tea guests laughed and said, "Kun Kaisi is still worried that he can't take the project, and if he takes over the project, he can't take our people to do it?" ”

"It seems that in the future, the people of Kunshan will not only no longer have to ask for food, but will live better than elsewhere." Hai Rui nodded and exclaimed.

"Of course." The tea guests were very proud. "Look at the future, who still has the face to scold us for calling us Hanako!"

"yes, yes, wow." Hai Rui nodded his beard and asked slowly: "But you all went to work for Kun Kaisi, so who farmed for the big households?" Will the squires be able to agree? ”

"Hey, my husband is worried about them." The tea guests laughed and said: "When they are the cheapest, they don't make too much fun with Kunkaisi, and they don't have the heart to care about that little bit of land for a long time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hai Rui became more and more curious, and completely forgot the original purpose of this trip.

"For such a big project, there are more than 100,000 large and small workers. Eating, drinking, and Lazar are all money-generating businesses! The tea boss said: "There are also accessories for repairing the embankment, as well as wheelbarrows, flat shoulders, raincoats, gloves, and shovels...... Dozens or hundreds of items, none of which are worthless, but once they are on the volume, they are all money. ”

"Hmm." Hai Rui nodded and said, "Aren't these all the Jiangnan companies in charge?" ”

"Huh, you know that, don't you?" The tea drinkers suddenly became vigilant. "It can't be sent by the Xu family to find out the news, right?"

"Poof......" Hai Rui almost sprayed tea, and waved his hand with a wry smile: "How come?" Lao Yu has a little friend, who is in Jiangnan Company. ”

This is not a lie, Zhao Hao's children.

"Oh, seeing that the old gentleman is upright, he doesn't look like those bad seeds of the Xu family." The tea guests let him go, and besides, it's no secret. He told him that from the beginning of the second phase of the project, Jiangnan Company gradually withdrew from these logistics supply work, and changed to Kunkaisi to bid for outsourcing.
