As soon as the fifth day of the first lunar month dawned, Guo Da led eighty slaves and came over to report for duty.

Eighty-one carts blocked the alley behind Zhao's mansion, and many neighbors were looking, not knowing whether Zhao's mansion was going to move or what to do.

Zhao Hao ordered them to carry the coal lotus root from the backyard and load it.

Before dawn, Cai Mingqing clicked it, and after surviving in the past few days, there are a total of 12,000 coal lotus roots available.

Coal lotus is also very convenient to stack and stack, an eight-foot-long cart, loaded with 150 coal roots, only occupies less than one-third of the space.

"It seems that a big car can be loaded with thousands of pounds." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"Why don't you get them together?" Guo Da asked.

"No, your task today is to distribute these coal roots to every street in the outer city as much as possible." Zhao Hao shook his head.

"Childe, how much does this item cost?" Guo Da asked again.

"The first three days are free, and from the fourth day, it will be sold for four cents a piece." Zhao Hao replied: "You can also exchange loose coal for four catties." ”

"You have to work hard in the early days, you have to run more, and later, I will teach you how to blow ......"

"What Childe said is that just practicing doesn't talk about stupid tricks." The little black fat man said eloquently: "If the business is done well, shouting is indispensable." ”

"It's still a set." Zhao Hao smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our business is making hard-earned money, but fortunately, in two days, the manpower will be in place, so you don't need to pull the car." Then you will build sheds in the streets and solicit business. ”

"Hey, whatever Childe says, let's do it." The little black fat man nodded, and did a good job of hard-working psychological construction.

~~

Zhao Hao asked the guards to help load the remaining coal lotus into the truck, and called the slaves into an empty room in the back house.

In the room, there is a huge map of the outer city...... This is what he came from Wu Shi. In fact, there was even the inner city part, but he was cut and put away, so that no one would think that he was going to rebel.

Then Zhao Hao repeated what he said to the little black fat man, and then said to the slaves: "Our goal, of course, is to let every household in Jingshi use coal lotus. But the meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and after this son's weighing, we must first focus on the outer city. ”

"Judging from the statistics of Shuntianfu, the number of registered households in the outer city exceeds 100,000, and the hidden household registration is almost the same number."

Because Daming levies a poll tax, the household is the unit of taxation. The common people reduced the tax burden by dividing their families and canceling their household registration.

At that time, overcharging taxes was not considered a political achievement, and the government also turned a blind eye.

As a result, the world has been peaceful for 200 years, but the number of households on the yellow book of the household department has not increased but decreased...... Later historians, if they use this to discuss the poor life of the Ming people, it will be either stupid or bad.

"And in the outer city, there are basically ordinary people with low and middle incomes, and these people are our target users!" I only heard Zhao Hao say loudly: "Our slogan is small profits but quick turnover, my son has set the most competitive price, how much you can sell, it depends on your ability!" ”

"For this reason, Ben Gongzi announced that for every ten coal roots sold, you can get a penny, and the more you sell, the higher the commission!"

Hearing Gongzi say this, the slaves couldn't help but be happy. They all said that even if there is no reward, they will do their best to serve the son.

At this time, they didn't know how much benefit this humble penny would give them......

Zhao Hao didn't bother to explain to them, just let the facts speak. Then he gave a brief sales training to the slaves, and taught them how to use the most straightforward and simple language to introduce the advantages of coal lotus to the common people.

As for the prevention of gas poisoning, he didn't mention it at all. Because after living in Daming for a year, he has deeply realized that the ventilation of the house in this era is really good......

It's like the main house where he lives, the windows are made of paper, the doors are made of wood, and the breeze blows non-stop at night.

This is still the mansion of a dignified three-grade official, and if it is changed to an ordinary people's home, it will even be ventilated by the wall, and I am worried that the coal poison will not be dispersed? It's pure unfounded worry.

Only the mansion where the princes and nobles, the wealthy businessmen lived, could have carbon monoxide poisoning because the room was too well sealed. But those people have burned silver charcoal, who will use the slag briquettes from the soil?

~~

Finally, Zhao Hao pointed to the map of the outer city behind him and said: "This son divides more than 300 streets, roads, and alleys in the outer city into sixty sales areas. Let's go when we're done......"

"Yes, Childe." Guo Da hurriedly responded.

"Starting tomorrow, I will go to the Lugouqiao coal yard instead." Zhao Hao gave another command and walked out of the house.

Outside, Cai Ming had already led people to load the car, one hundred and fifty yuan per car, and there were more than two hundred yuan left, so according to Zhao Hao's instructions, he asked the servants to distribute them to the neighbors on the left.

He took five people and loaded the 100 sets of molds onto the carriage parked outside the main entrance. Then he stood in front of the car and waited quietly for the son to come out.

"Not bad." When Zhao Hao came out dressed neatly, he saw that he was ready to stop, nodded with satisfaction, and got into his carriage.

"Let's go." Gao Wu gave an order and drove Gongzi's carriage first.

Cai Ming led people to escort the carriage carrying the goods and followed behind.

~~

When we arrived at the coal plant, it was already early in the morning.

It's only been a day, and the originally quiet and silent yard has become a big construction site in full swing.

The picture of thousands of people in the coal mountains and coal seas, holding hammers and smashing them non-stop, is still very spectacular.

Zhao Hao saw that many workers had not yet received the tools, so they held big stones and smashed them there, not to mention how high the enthusiasm for labor was.

Hearing that the steward below said that the son had arrived, Sun Dawu hurriedly ran over and welcomed Zhao Hao to the small courtyard in the southeast corner.

This is the residence of the former steward of the yard, and Sun Dawu regarded it as a place where he and the stewards worked together.

After entering the house, Sun Dawu wiped the tables and chairs and asked the son to sit down. He brought tea with his own hands, and then reported:

"I really let Childe say it. Yesterday, there were about 1,000 people, and they worked for less than half a day. But according to the son's instructions, we took care of their good meal, and when we were part-time, one person gave forty wen. As a result, today, there are 2,000 more people at once...... Looking at this posture, that is, the day after tomorrow, you will be able to recruit 6,000 people. ”

"It doesn't matter if you recruit more, my son can afford it." Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said with confidence.

"Hey, I see." Sun Dawu didn't talk nonsense this time.

Compared with the workers of later generations, this labor force is so cheap that it is almost useless......

Yesterday I gave a thousand people money to start work, and it only cost forty taels; It's only 1,200 taels a month, which is just enough for Zhao Erye to reward an apprentice.

Even if you hire 10,000 people, even if you pay for food and pay a month, it is only 15,000 taels, and there is no pressure on Zhao Gongzi today.

Don't forget, this is all three insurances and one housing fund, no benefits, no holidays......

This Ming Dynasty is simply a paradise for capitalists! ’

Zhao Hao suppressed the cheers in his heart, and deliberately asked Sun Dawu with a straight face:

"You won't persuade today?"

"Hey, Hui Gongzi. The villain pondered for a night last night, and he figured it out until he thought about His Highness opening a porridge factory. ”

Sun Dawu hurriedly reviewed with a face full of shame: "The son is not to make money, this is a change of ways to help the homeless...... In the future, the villain will also be kind to their ......"

"Uh......" Seeing that he was overdressing, Zhao Hao reminded him quite embarrassedly that the main pipeline of the coal plant: "You still have to control the expenses and don't exert too much force, so that you can ......"

That's how you can make a little more money...... But in this situation, this is a bit cheap.

"In order to help more victims?" Sun Dawu hurriedly took over the conversation.

"Not bad." Zhao Hao glanced at him approvingly, and sure enough, every fat man was so funny.
