Section 0832 Gathering sand into a tower
The Pure Land of Yuan knew very well that maintaining the absolute right of the Yuan clan to speak in Goguryeo depended on the binding of interests.
The only thing he regretted was that at that time, the Tang people proposed monthly settlement, ten-year settlement, daily settlement, and ship-to-ship settlement. How did he and his eldest brother choose to settle every day, and let the nobles of the entire Pingcheng know everything.
These nobles were not willing to let the Yuan clan receive money every day, and only once a month.
Yuan Pure Land hated and scolded in his heart: These poor ghosts who have never seen money.
The Goguryeo aristocracy really hadn't seen money, they didn't have much money at home, and Goguryeo didn't have the ability to mint coins, so they used the coins of the Central Plains.
The worst two of the old-style coins exchanged for the new Tang coins could not be exchanged for one.
The Goguryeo nobility owned very few coins.
Yanagi is back, and the trouble of the Goguryeo people carrying coins is caused by him.
After Liu Mu returned to Xinjin Port, in just one day, on the wharf of the port, the three courtyards that had been arranged for people to build but had not been used were officially opened.
On the pier is a money bank, and the other two are two shops.
There are more than 300 kinds of goods in the store, all of which are indispensable for home furnishings.
After the opening, not a single Goguryeo dared to approach these three courtyards, they were all slave laborers, and even those who had seen the shop could not imagine such a beautiful house, and the shop with countless exquisite items was qualified for them to enter.
Until noon the next day, a Goguryeo slave worker belonging to the transport team was waiting for the others to return to the mine with him, and boldly came to the shop in the temporary accommodation area of the transport workers.
The wharf is 150 miles from the mining road, with two overnight rest areas in between.
But the shop was the first time the slave had seen it.
When he boldly walked into the store, the clerk standing in front of the door bowed slightly: "What do customers want to buy?" ”
As soon as he saw the Tang people salute, the frightened slave fell to his knees, smashed his head on the ground, and then fled as if flying.
"This one is a failure." Yanagi was distressed that the plan he had painstakingly designed had been hit so hard.
Baoqin comforted on the side: "Lang Jun is actually very easy to solve, we trained some Goguryeo female slaves to be clerks, and also opened the shops in the mining area by the way, I have seen the map of the mining area, where five to seven shops can be opened." ”
"Five? Seven? Yanagi was shocked when he heard this, he had planned to open only one shop.
Baoqin took out a piece of data: "Lang Jun, this is what you taught me, and the water is long-term and the wealth is abundant." Don't look at the low income of these Goguryeo slave laborers, it is too pitiful, too sympathetic. But there are already more than 80,000 people actually working here, and when the road is completed, plus the rest of the people promised by the Yuan clan, there will be 200,000 people here to work for us. ”
"Yes, almost." Liu Mu silently calculated in his heart.
This era is no better than the modern times of later generations, when there were countless construction machinery, and now everything depends on manpower.
10,000 people prospecting requires 10,000 people to work with assistants.
In order to rule this area in the future, there are Taoist temples and Buddhist halls that serve as medical halls and schools in the mining area.
And that's not even counting the people who are responsible for cooking, making clothes, making shoes, making mining tools, and so on.
In addition, Liumu is also preparing to transfer a nearby lignite mine with amazing reserves, as well as a large graphite mining area discovered by Liumu's mining personnel. And that's not counting the countless kaolin, nepheline, countless primeval forests, and so on.
Not to mention 200,000 people, if you give 200,000 people to willow wood, willow wood can also make these people's busy feet not stick to the ground.
Huqin waited for Liu Mu to continue, but Liu Mu was in a daze for a quarter of an hour, and Huqin was in no hurry to continue to speak: "So many people, that is, each person spends an average of one penny a day, and we can get a hundred yuan of profit." ”
"Sounds like it makes sense."
Liu Mu admired it in his heart, but his mouth was still very plain.
Baoqin was snickering, because the profit of all the goods in the store here in Goguryeo was several times greater than that of Chang'an.
Moreover, the store is not called a store, but a few supply houses in the mining area, which is dedicated to the service of mine workers.
Datang has been constantly issuing coins, a large number of coins.
At present, many people have begun to sleep uncomfortably at night, and the so-called commoners who used to have five or ten Tang coins are happy for the lowest level of Goguryeo, whose right to life belongs to the aristocracy.
But when someone saved a hundred coins in just over a month after the arrival of the Tang people, the Goguryeo people couldn't sleep.
There's so much money that it doesn't feel safe to put it there.
Five days later, the emergency training arranged by Baoqin ended, and the first batch of Goguryeo slave girls from the supply house began to work.
Mining area residential area.
Nine stores opened at the same time, and all the Goguryeo female clerks wore high-waisted skirts of white linen with linen yarn, a wide belt, and a light gray blouse with a bright red vest with the word "department store" printed on the back.
This is the real national costume of Goguryeo, and after seeing this costume, Yoo Mu is even more convinced that Goguryeo has nothing to do with sticks.
Finally, someone finally came in.
With endless awe, the slave workers in the Goguryeo mines carefully examined the various goods in the store, and they did not even dare to touch the glass counter.
"Well, that comb ......"
Exquisite comb with a hint of sandalwood. But in fact, it is made of poplar wood, and then boiled in spice water, and then there is a stamp and light lacquer on the back of the comb.
This kind of comb could not be sold in Chang'an, and it was a good thing that the nobles did not necessarily have in the eyes of the slave workers.
"Three steels."
The clerk's words puzzled the slave workers, what is ten steels.
The Goguryeo slave workers saw what a money village was, and they learned what it meant to exchange, and one penny could be exchanged for ten pieces of steel, and the smallest one piece of steel could buy a set of needles and threads, that is, three needles and a small coil of thread.
Needles are one of the most valuable household items in Goguryeo.
The needles used by the slave laborers of Goguryeo were bone needles, wooden needles, and almost none of the needles used steel needles. If a young girl has a steel sewing needle in her dowry, her envy is no smaller than that of a simple hand-cranked sole machine in the current Tang Chang'an.
At this time, a Goguryeo foreman, who was also a slave laborer, was selected to be the foreman in charge of a hundred-man team.
The Goguryeo foreman placed a bag of coins on the counter, exchanged them for a stack of pieces of paper in front of the eyes of countless onlookers, and received a beautiful small bag specially for the pieces of paper.
Someone asked, "What is this?" ”
