Chapter 42 Hospitals
In the eyes of everyone, Yuan Shu has been constantly throwing money everywhere to improve the quality of life of the people.
Although Yuan Shu explained all these principles to several strategists, it was still difficult for everyone to accept all this.
After all, the small-scale peasant economy in ancient China was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the eyes of everyone, money is money, there is no question of appreciation and depreciation, only the increase or decrease in the price of goods. Even if it is rusty at home, the money will still not depreciate, it is still so much money.
It is also difficult for Yuan Shu to make these people really understand and understand what price is, what value is, and what circulation is, so he simply speaks with facts.
A large wave of money was sprinkled, and suddenly the whole Yangzhou moved, and countless people were working frantically hard.
Because they see real benefits in front of them.
In the past, apart from farming, they basically had no means to make money, at most they worked part-time jobs, went to the mountains to hunt, and subsidized their families, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
Because everyone is poor, no one can afford to hire someone to help or buy meat, and the families know this, and the wages are very low.
Apart from growing food, the people basically have no way to earn money to support their families.
And now Yuan Shu, a shrewd stupid big man, has stepped forward.
As long as you are willing to come out and work for me, I will give you cash.
The price is clearly marked, there is no arrears, and the price is not low, at least there is no problem in supporting the family with this.
For example, if you go to build roads, eat and live, and give ten cents every day to complete the standard task, do more and get more, do less and get less, and settle the money directly that night, but you are not in arrears, and there is no deception.
The average daily cost of a family of three is only about ten cents, which means that as long as you work hard, even if you have nothing, at least there is no problem in supporting your family.
What's more, Yuan Shuding's standard workload is very low, these people know the truth of doing more and getting more, and they are all full of enthusiasm and can complete two standard workloads every day.
It's not that they don't want to work more, it's just that Yuan Shu is afraid that they will be too tired and there will be some problems, so he stipulates that each person can receive a maximum of 20 wen per day, and no matter how much they work, there will be no salary.
In this way, on the one hand, the people's bodies have been protected to a certain extent, and on the other hand, they have also saved expenses.
After all, Yuan Shu had seen with his own eyes that after the first day of his policy, he saw that some people around him had really gotten the money, and it was a lot of money, and everyone immediately went crazy.
The whole family went into battle together until they didn't have the strength to go home.
Looking at the skinny and exhausted family going home with more than 100 Wen on their faces, Yuan Shu didn't feel sorry for the money, but he was afraid that these people would not pay attention to their bodies and die of exhaustion.
After all, the people now are a group of people who are very simple but also very "fine".
They don't believe in anything, only in the immediate benefits.
The benefits that Yuan Shu brought to them could be seen at a glance, and naturally they would work hard for it.
After this village, there may be no such shop, and they still don't risk their lives to make a profit? If you're not careful, you may die of exhaustion on the spot.
Yuan Shu could only go back and discuss it with everyone, and slightly modified this employment plan.
Children under the age of 12 and seniors over the age of 50 are not allowed to work, and there is a daily wage cap.
10 for those under the age of 15 and over 40, and 20 for the other.
The momentum of this crazy large-scale construction has stalled.
However, this is not over, Yuan Shu saw that the effect was very good, and he came up with a series of policies by the way.
Don't those people who have finished working feel that they still have a lot of free time and energy?
You go to breed, each family raises a few chickens and ducks, and if you have the conditions, you can also raise a cow, and the government provides you with cubs, and guarantees that it will be purchased at a clear price in the end, what are you worried about?
Anyway, if you don't lose money, you will waste some time at most, and suddenly a group of people will flock to it again.
Yuan Shu gave a limit according to the situation of each household, but in the end it was not enough points.
Moreover, Yuan Shu also recruited a large number of farmers with breeding experience and built many large-scale farms.
As for the other weaving mills, ironworks, and shipyards, they are recruiting people everywhere.
As long as you're willing to put in the time and effort, there's money to be made everywhere.
Later, Yuan Shu also took the ancient bank, that is, the money bank, and spread it all over the major cities of Yangzhou.
The people's wages are directly recorded in the accounts, and they are unified in the money bank at night, which is much more convenient.
In order to enhance the people's confidence in the money villages, Yuan Shu directly built a large iron box with a sealed entrance but a small hole the size of a quail egg in each money village, which was filled with copper coins like a hill, at least 100,000 yuan. Everyone who went in could watch as much as they wanted.
With so many copper coins placed here, coupled with the reputation of the government under his command after Yuan Shu's arrival, most of the people slowly accepted the existence of the money bank, and some of them were bold enough to save the money they had saved.
Because Yuan Shu also provides interest, the interest method is very simple, every 1,000 wen deposited, you will get an extra penny of interest every month, and you can withdraw it as you deposit.
Although the recognition of the money village by the people and the family is not high now, and they dare not put a large amount of deposits in the money bank, Yuan Shu knows that they will slowly accept all this in a few years at most.
Yuan Shu's series of tosses, although everyone didn't quite understand what it meant, but under Yuan Shu's obscenity, they were still meticulously executed.
And Tian Feng has never been able to stand this, although because he took away most of the Yuan family's property, there is a lot of money in Yangzhou's treasury, but after Yuan Shu's tossing, it is still decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing less money, but not more money, Tian Feng was naturally unhappy. Now that Yuan Shu is going to spend money to build a hospital, Tian Feng suddenly exploded.
Seeing Tian Feng, who was stubborn and sincere but loyal, Yuan Shu was also gone.
Some time ago, he was able to hide from him, and if he couldn't hide, he said, "Yuan Hao, you wait for another half a year, everything will be known." "To cope.
But I have to spend money again this time, and I can't get around Tian Feng, the person in charge of internal affairs.
"Yuan Hao, you have to look at the long term."
Hearing this sentence again, Tian Feng immediately became angry: "Lord, you have been saying this for two months!" I have seen the future. If this continues, within three years, our Yangzhou treasury will run out of money! ”
Yuan Shu had sweat drops on his forehead, and he knew that it would be like this: "Eh, Yuan Hao, can you see that just the Zhen family can provide me with an income of 50 million yuan in Yangzhou?" And how much is my tax in Yangzhou? It's only 800,000 a year. Do you know why? ”
Tian Feng calmed down a little: "Because the wealthy gentry of the family are far richer than the people of the government. ”
"So what happens if the people have money?"
Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "They will pursue a better life and spend part of the money." ”
Yuan Shu smiled weirdly, didn't he take the bait.
"So where will they spend their money?"
When Tian Feng saw Yuan Shu's smile, he felt a tightness in his heart, and he seemed to have been fooled again.
"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation."
"And the education and medical care of the children, right?"
Although he felt that something was wrong, Tian Feng nodded.
"So if we open hospitals, colleges, cloth villages, and canteens, will we make money from the people?"
Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and shook his head, how did he look like some kind of cunning animal.
