Chapter 932 Luoyang City is full of treasures (2)(2/3)
There is a problem here. It is difficult to leave the hometown. The workers who can be sold by the shopkeeper will not be important talents, and most of them are poor people who are bullied and have no support.
These people were bullied on weekdays, and now they were going to other places. I don’t know whether they will be bullied or not, so they were definitely caught and bullied, so they were sold. Each of them was sold for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. The shopkeeper kept all the money and did not give it to him.
One point for the worker.
Li Mengxi didn't realize that people's hearts are complicated. He was deceived by the Luoyang people again. The shopkeeper sent dozens of so-called master craftsmen, including seven orphans and widowers.
When everyone gathered together, Li Mengxi found that the female weavers did not bring many family members. Many female weavers only brought one or two or three children. Li Mengxi thought that the family was separated. He thought it was because they were going to Julu.
The man stayed at home and took care of the house, while the woman took a few dolls and took care of them on the other side.
The kind-hearted Li Mengxi felt a little sorry for breaking up the family. He asked, but the female weaver said that the man in the family passed away and she took care of the dolls.
Li Mengxi saw that there were many children. He scratched his head and called two guards, "Go, bring the money, and take everyone to buy some clothes, and buy some food and fun for the children."
The guard nodded and led the people away.
Things here at Silk Manor are over.
The guards led the weavers to Julu Commercial House and after setting up their things, the guards took the money and took the adults and children to buy things.
At first, the weavers didn't realize anything. When they saw a candy seller on the street, the guards bought a whole bowl of candy and gave it to the children.
Not far away, he saw another Hu pancake seller, and the guard paid for some hot Hu pancakes, one for each of the adults and children.
One of the weavers was embarrassed and insisted on paying, but the guards stopped him.
The guards were just ordinary soldiers, and their predecessors were just the Yellow Turban refugees. After following the rebels and Li Mengxi for a long time, the little soldiers also developed a sense of heroism.
The soldiers had seen that when the weather was cold, the rebels tore the silk from the entire vehicle to make clothes for those who were not fully clothed.
The soldier is a poor man, and he is still a poor man, but as a poor man, he almost regards money as dirt when he spends it. This is of course because he spends public money, not his own money, but you must know that some money is collected through digging.
He is a man who is reluctant to spend anyone's money, and from afar, the Julu people are his own family, and the newly recruited weavers are outsiders. It is commendable that a small soldier can be generous to outsiders.
Perhaps this is called subtle influence. The reason why today's soldiers do not regard Luoyang weavers as outsiders is because a year ago, when the Yellow Turbans surrendered to the rebel army after their defeat, the rebel army immediately provided medicine, medicine, clothing and porridge. On the day of the rebel army, there were no
Treat these Yellow Turban captives as outsiders.
The guard led the adults and children and met poor people selling cloth on the road. The guard himself was from a poor background and was more inclined to help the poor. When he saw a cloth seller on the roadside, he was unwilling to go to the store to buy it. The guard did not negotiate the price.
, sold the cloth directly, bought the cloth, and gave it to the adults, who then went back to make clothes for the doll.
After achieving this step, all the worries of the weavers who were originally worried because of their uncertain future were eliminated.
Li Mengxi told the guard that he had to spend all the money, but the guard took adults and children shopping around. He bought food, drinks, and cloth. There was still a lot of money left, and the task was not completed.
The guards will have to find ways to spend more money.
The guard also found a place to buy a pair of small leather boots for each of the children. Part of the money was spent, but it was not all spent.
The guard also thought of buying some useful bowls, chopsticks, basins, water bags, etc. for the adults. Naturally, they bought high-quality goods. After buying them, the money was not spent yet.
As I walked, I realized that it was getting late, so when I arrived at the restaurant, the guard suddenly had an idea. He invited adults and children to the restaurant to have a meal. He compared the money and ordered as many things as there was money, including as much meat as possible.
This finally paid off.
It's just that this is a small restaurant, and there isn't much meat. The guard bought too much, and almost ran out of meat at once. Just look at the plates piled high with meat in front of the adults and children. Today's meal
There will definitely be more to eat.
During the meal, the guards inevitably started chatting with the weavers. The weavers asked about their employers and where they would work in the future. When it came to the giant deer, the guards had a lot to say.
The guard talked about all kinds of things about Julu. Julu was not a rich place. Julu City was not big and its products were not rich. There were no big rivers or mountains to talk about. The only things Julu could talk about were people.
The guard said that he would have to train when he went to Julu, and everyone would have to train with a gun. It doesn’t cost money to see a doctor in Julu. Once or twice a month, military doctors would be sent for consultation. Also, Julu’s food is delicious. Julu’s food is delicious.
The tofu is cheap, but you can only exchange it for beans. Also, Julu is dividing the land, and the land is divided according to the head, and everyone has the same amount of land.
None of this mentioned what the weavers are most concerned about. Speaking of work in the future, it should be by the river or in the city. There are new houses built in the city. The houses are built high and strong. When they get there, they should be able to distinguish themselves.
In the house, you don’t have to cook your own meals. There is a cook dedicated to cooking, so you just have to eat when the time comes.
"As for working hours, I know one thing: from dawn to lunch in the morning, you can rest for a while after lunch, and then you work in the second half of the day until dark.
Five days of work, one day off..."
This still did not get to the most important point. One weaver asked cautiously, "How are the wages calculated?"
The guard subconsciously said, "There is no wages."
What the guard said was not wrong. Julu was in a special situation. After more than 100,000 refugees settled in Julu, materials were extremely scarce. For a long time, they were distributed according to needs. No matter the craftsmen or soldiers, they had no wages or military pay, only rations.
I heard that the weavers were disappointed when there was no wages.
The guard was a smart man and realized something immediately, "Ah, that's it. Our wages in Julu are different from those elsewhere. Ordinary craftsmen, such as carpenters and blacksmiths, only care about food.
You are silk weavers, and unlike others, you will be paid!"
Upon hearing this, the weavers felt more relieved.
Problems that Li Mengxi was not even aware of were exposed inadvertently.
Everything in Julu is distributed according to needs, and the top and bottom are integrated to ensure fairness. This is undoubtedly excellent. However, he did not consider that Julu, a self-contained system, would also need external manpower. The external manpower has the same relationship with the Julu people.
The essence is different. Migrant craftsmen come from far away to work. What they earn is wages. Talking about distribution according to needs is not realistic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The guards were chatting with the adults. One child, who was probably hungry, secretly took the meat from the bowl. Her mother saw it and gave him a few hard slaps.
He was crying until he was beaten.
The guard smiled and said, "Come on, come on, eat them all, don't let them cool down." As he said that, he picked up a piece of meat and started eating it.
The adults and children all ate the meat. The adults were okay, please pay attention to the etiquette. The children were gobbling up the food. The guards met. Speaking of Julu’s school, the whole city of Julu was full of children.
, there are tens of thousands of children, and in Julu, babies can be sent to school and have teachers to teach them.
Reading and learning calligraphy is such a good thing, but the weavers' reaction was a bit dull.
The guard didn't explain clearly. He only said that there was a school, but he didn't say that the school was completely free, including free food and drink. Naturally, the weavers didn't react strongly. There were places to study in Luoyang, and everyone had a home, but who could afford it?
After the meal was finished with laughter and laughter, the guard took the adults and children back to the guest house. After settling everyone, he asked the hotel clerk to take care of them, and the guard hurried away again.
Let’s talk about the adults and children. A weaver woman closed the door and looked through things. She found a large bowl, two small bowls, and three bowls. The bowls were made from the heart of a jujube tree. The bowls were made from the heart of a jujube tree.
It has a red texture, is round and thick, and is polished smoothly. This kind of bowl is not cheap, and women usually would not be willing to use it.
There are also chopsticks, fine bamboo chopsticks, two pairs of exquisitely made leather boots, and a piece of burlap.
Although there are not many things, it shows the sincerity.
Suddenly there was a cry, and the woman hurried out to see. It turned out that her two sons were fighting over a toy.
The woman comforted the older one, and comforted the younger one. He picked up the rattle and gave it to the eldest son, and gave the dove cart to the younger son. However, the eldest son did not want to play with the dove cart. The eldest son also wanted to play with the dove cart.
Whether it's a rattle or a dove cart, they were all bought by their owners.
The woman did not get angry as usual. She was in a good mood now. The woman took a look at her two sons and saw that the clothes on her sons were worn out. It happened that someone had bought cloth for them, so the woman wanted to take the time to make two sets of clothes.
, "Son, our mother and I have to go far away." The woman
The two sons are very young and don’t understand what it means to go away to a foreign country.
The woman's eldest son said reluctantly, "Mom, can I call Dandan'er and walk all the way?"
Dandan'er is the doll of this woman's neighbor. The woman immediately remembered that the neighbor's old man used to make looms, but now he has stopped doing it because he is old. Julu's boss treats people kindly, so why not invite the old man to go with him?
, and also earn some money to support the family.
Once this thought arose in the woman's mind, she couldn't stop it.
The woman left the store with her two sons and ran straight to a neighbor's house.
When I arrived at my neighbor's house, I explained my intention. At first, my neighbor was hesitant and didn't want to go out of town.
At this time, the woman showed an unusual enthusiasm and persisted in persuading her, as if she was not going to suffer a big loss.
The two little children of the woman next to her also chimed in, saying that they had gone to someone else's house to give them meat and buy things.
There was an old friendship between the two families, and the woman's earnest advice made the old man a little moved.
"Uncle, it's up to you whether you want to do it or not. Go and have a look. If you don't want to do it, come back. Can't I pay for the money along the way?"
The old man was finally moved. He smiled and said, "At my age, I don't know if others want it."
The woman immediately said, "I'll go and ask."
The woman took her two sons and hurried back to the guest house. When she returned to the guest house, she looked for the guard but could not find her. The boys saw the woman looking for someone, so they came up to talk for a while and called the shopkeeper.
After talking for a while and listening to what the woman said, it turned out that the woman wanted to introduce a powerful craftsman to her.
The shopkeeper could handle such a small matter, and the shopkeeper immediately agreed.
The woman hesitated and asked again, "The money to settle down... A little brother gave us the money to settle down..."
When the shopkeeper heard the title of "little brother", he guessed that he was a military advisor. The shopkeeper smiled and asked, "How much does my young master give you to settle down?"
"Thirty...thirty thousand dollars."
The shopkeeper nodded and asked the woman to wait. He turned around and took out 30,000 yuan and handed it to the woman.
The woman once again felt the kindness of her boss.
The woman took the money and hurriedly went to her neighbor's house and presented her with 30,000 yuan, which immediately calmed her down.
