Chapter 775: Digging Jade in the Bricks (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
"The father-in-law is very helpful, and the son-in-law is thankful, but on the bright side, this is the private matter of the son-in-law, so how can he abolish the public because of his selfishness? When the time comes, how will the people of the world view the son-in-law, so that the academy will be easy to make people sick, but it will not be beautiful. I gently explained to Uncle Li.
"Hehehe, you kid, the old man helped you and let you have something to say, well, but your worries are not bad, those who serve as laborers are for the country, not for private individuals, I really can't set this precedent here, lest future generations learn from me, then the world will not be chaotic, but virtuous son-in-law, what do you mean by renting labor?" Uncle Li was more curious, I am afraid that it was the first time he had heard this term.
"The so-called renting labor is a new idea that my son-in-law came up with, because the academy is different from the military academy, the military academy is a public college of the country, and my Tang soldiers are all strong people, borrowing their hands to build the academy, first, to save money for the country, and second, to make them have a stronger sense of belonging to the academy, after all, this academy is the joint efforts of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, built brick by brick." When I said this, I raised my eyelids slightly, and Uncle Li nodded again and again: "What the virtuous son-in-law said is indeed true. Then he motioned for me to continue.
"And my idea is that my Datang now has a large number of prisoners of war as laborers, which has added a lot of manpower to the infrastructure of my Datang, so my son-in-law wants to carry out a cooperation with the government in his personal name." I slowly spoke my thoughts and ideas.
"Cooperation?!" Uncle Li blinked, as if he had come to an understanding, and his eyes were staring at me directly, as if he wanted to see what I could say.
"Exactly, the son-in-law paid for each prisoner of war, well, every laborer to rent from the government for five hundred dollars a month to build the academy." I pursed my lips and spoke my thoughts under Uncle Lee's gaze. "In addition, if a laborer dies during the rental period of the son-in-law, every laborer, the son-in-law must compensate the government for ten times."
Uncle Li's eyes flashed with a golden light, and it faded away, but Uncle Li opened his mouth immediately after my words: "What if you run away?" ”
I thought for a while: "If they escape, the son-in-law naturally has the responsibility and obligation to capture them back, and in addition, the losses caused by their escape can only be borne by the son-in-law." In addition, if there is a disability, etc., the son-in-law will also make a whole process to pay compensation. ”
---------------------------------------------------I also have no way to come up with a solution, first, the Tang Dynasty is a feudal imperialist society, in addition to the normal cultivation of the land, the people also have to serve the labor stipulated by the state, how can they have time to do private work outside, not to mention that they have to pay for work, and they may not be able to recruit so many people.
Second, the amount of labor I need is definitely not small, after all, such a large site, just to carry out land leveling, beautification of the campus environment, the transformation and repair of the land, in addition to a series of basic projects such as drainage systems, at least one or two thousand people, not to mention student dormitories, teachers' dormitories, teaching buildings, laboratory buildings and buildings for various purposes all require a lot of labor, in addition, there are also mid-level villas also need a lot of manpower.
According to the estimated budget approved by the accounts under Fang Zhu, it is estimated that if the laborers want to complete the most important buildings within a year, and open the academy before the end of next year, it will be at least 3,500 laborers, that is, if the entire academy is to be completed by the end of next year, then the number of laborers will have to at least double.
"Wait, what do you mean by the estimated budget of the project?" Uncle Li just took a sip of tea, and when he heard what I said, he was suddenly stunned, reached out and grabbed my arm, and asked.
Uncle Lee's actions startled me, and I was relieved to see that his expression was only searching and not negative, this old rascal was simply a fuss-making person. If this son doesn't even know what an estimated budget is, then what is an excellent crossing youth?
"The estimated budget of the project is explained that for example, if the son-in-law wants to build the academy, it is necessary to calculate the building materials, labor, and various costs in advance according to the current price standards of the Tang Dynasty according to the content of the drawings designed by Xiaomei, so as to determine the manpower, material resources, materials and engineering costs required for the entire construction project of the son-in-law's academy, so that the son-in-law can prepare the corresponding funds in advance, so as to avoid the occurrence of unexpected situations such as insufficient materials or insufficient costs during the project." I thought about it for a while, and slowly explained to Uncle Li what I understood the estimated budget for the project.
Uncle Li squinted his eyes and looked at the ginkgo tea in front of him as if he was in a daze, and he didn't ask me to continue, nor did he say anything, which made me a little incomprehensible, so I could only be stunned by His Majesty the Tang Emperor and accompany him to pretend to be stupid.
"Well, you're a good idea, that's a good idea!" Uncle Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came out with such a sentence, his eyes didn't look at me, his head tilted up again, looking at Fang Liang in a daze, what are you doing, could it be that a spider into his teacup just now? I looked up at the beams, but at least I didn't see any spiders.
Could it be that Uncle Li is not willing to offer such favorable conditions? But for the sake of the academy, I had to do this again, so I had to make a trick. "Father-in-law, and the son-in-law will pay first and then employ people after signing an agreement with the government, so that the government will not suffer any losses."
"What about their clothing, food and lodging?" Uncle Li asked me again, and when I heard Uncle Li's words, I knew that there must be a drama, so I immediately patted my chest and said: "Naturally, it is up to the tenants to bear the burden, and besides, the son-in-law also wants the laborers to be fed and clothed, so that they can also have the strength to work for the son-in-law." ”
"Your idea is quite novel, but there is some truth to it." Uncle Li stood up, walked a few steps and then stood still, looked at me with a smile and said, "The old man agreed!" However, the old man has one condition. Uncle Lee raised a finger at me.
"Although the father-in-law commands it, if the son-in-law can do it, even if he goes to the soup and fights!" I quickly patted my chest and agreed. Uncle Li smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and sat down beside me: "With the words of the virtuous son-in-law, the old man is relieved, but I want to ask you one thing first." If I build any project in the Tang Dynasty Ministry of Industry, it will be like a virtuous son-in-law building a academy, and first make an estimated budget, so as not to report every time I sell materials, is it much simpler and faster? ”
Uncle Li's words made me stunned, this old guy is too smart, right? Drawing inferences from others is probably at his level.
--------------------------------------------------- I gave Uncle Li a thumbs up: "High! It's really high! The father-in-law is quick to think, and the son-in-law can't catch up even if he shoots the horse, and the ability to draw inferences from one case makes the son-in-law feel incredible. If this is the case, it will not only shorten the cycle of construction in all aspects, but also save a lot of waste, after all, according to the price of goods, according to the length of work and the number of laborers to determine the consumption, this is definitely a matter of benefiting the country and the people. ”
Uncle Li's vision is really vicious, just from my words, I can pick out some information that is beneficial to the court, this kind of ability to dig jade in bricks is indeed something I can't catch up with.
"Hahaha! What the virtuous son-in-law said, the old man is about to be praised as a god in the sky, this is not the virtuous son-in-law, you mentioned this idea first, otherwise, the old man would be difficult to think of this method, well, in fact, this method can not only be used in the Ministry of Industry, three provinces and six departments, including my Datang states and counties, but also can be used to do things, but you have to think about it carefully. "Uncle Li happily stroked his beard and was photographed." But virtuous son-in-law, don't give you this credit, if this thing is poked out, it will inevitably offend a lot of people. ”
I stood up, bowed to Uncle Li with a straight face, and said, "The little son-in-law is at the behest of his father-in-law." In fact, the son-in-law is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, the son-in-law is short-sighted, only sees his own benefits and interests, and does things for his own interests, but his father-in-law can consider my Tang Dynasty and the people of the world. ”
Uncle Li's face turned a little red, and he stood up happily with his eyes that were almost slit, and stood up to support me: "The virtuous son-in-law is not good, the talent of the virtuous son-in-law is very comparable, after all, you are still young, and you should open your eyes a little in the future, and let go a little farther......"
I sing the praises of Uncle Li, I am just a green leaf, used to set off Uncle Li's flower, Uncle Li is kind to me, pointing me in the right direction, like a bright moon, illuminating the road ahead of me, so that I suddenly open up in the dark, and my thoughts are like springs...... The eunuchs and palace maids on the side all stood crookedly and did not have a straight shape, and Zhao Kun raised his head to the sky very sadly and angrily, as if he wanted to fight wits and courage with the sky, and in the end, Uncle Li naturally agreed to my request and agreed to rent 10,000 laborers from the beginning of next year to the beginning of the next year, for a period of one year, the rent will be provided according to my proposal, pay first, and then use labor, and the specific matters will be negotiated with the Ministry of Industry by myself.
