31. Jin Xin regrets supplying free meals
As the days pass by, the Longshoushan project is also being completed step by step.
For craftsmen and workers who sweat heavily every day, the boring work that was originally exhausted day after day every day was nothing that could make them happy except for receiving wages.
However, since the Dragon Sect announced and implemented free food supply, they have added something that will make them happy, which makes them very happy.
After all, after working hard every day, I can also eat a free hot rice, accompanied by a few home-cooked side dishes, and even the dishes have a meaty flavor and a lot of oil and meat. This is already very good for the poor people like them.
After all, even if they can eat a few side dishes and hot rice every day at their home, they cannot guarantee that they can get meat. Therefore, although they may not be able to eat meat, they are still very grateful to the Shenlong Pie.
In fact, Fu Yu had originally thought of prescribing some meat to these craftsmen and workers, so that Xiao Zhan could put some meat in the meals he made for them so that they could eat real meat, rather than just eating the meat soup and meaty tastes contained in the dishes.
However, when he thought that the price of meat was very expensive, Jin Xin would never agree that Fu Yu was adding meat to them on the basis of losing money to invite craftsmen and workers to dinner, so Fu Yu did not mention this matter to Jin Xin in the end.
Otherwise, if Fu Yu hadn't known that persuasion was useless, Jin Xin would not have agreed to add meat to the craftsmen and workers, otherwise he would have done this thing that could spend the money on the account of Shenlong.
In fact, Jin Xin is not having a good time now, because he is almost annoyed by the increasing cost of supplying food for craftsmen and workers.
Just now, Jin Xin, who is still in the midst of projects in Longshou Mountain every day, will feel an inexplicable feeling of discomfort when he sees the craftsmen and workers who work hard.
"Hello Mr. Jin!"
"Hello Mr. Jin!"
"Hello Mr. Jin!"
...
After arriving at a new construction site in Longshou Mountain, before Jin Xin could enter the construction site, he had noticed some of the workers who came to him, so he took the initiative to say hello to Jin Xin respectfully.
As the manager of the Shenlong Sect who provides free food to these craftsmen and workers and gives them wages to afford them, Jin Xin, like the head of the sect, Fu Yu, is the benefactor of these craftsmen and workers.
The reactions of these craftsmen and workers to Fu Yu and Jin Xin are the biggest, so they can easily notice the two, and they can easily have a fierce chain reaction due to the two.
Just like now, Jin Xin has just appeared on this construction site, and among the craftsmen and workers on this construction site, some workers noticed him, and then as a worker greeted him respectfully, it quickly evolved into a respectful greeting to everyone.
Of course, the only one who can finally talk to Jin Xin is actually the craftsmen who supervise the work of the workers. As for other workers, they have no other time to control except for being able to say hello to Jin Xin in a short time.
The craftsmen who took over the Longshoushan Project, even investors like Fu Yu and Jin Xin, would not hope that these workers who come to work would take time to do things other than work while working.
Working hours are very precious, not for them to use for fishing. For them, this is a great blessing and they need to cherish!
"Mr. Jin, the sun is big here. Let's go to the shade over there and avoid the sun!"
The craftsmen at this construction site stepped forward and enthusiastically asked Jin Xin, the big financial supporter and benefactor, to accompany him to avoid the sun.
"No! No! I'll just take a look." Jin Xin was now immune to these enthusiasms.
Because basically, every time Jin Xin inspects a construction site, the craftsmen and workers are so enthusiastic about him. At the beginning, Jin Xin, who liked this enthusiasm, is naturally a little tired of it and immune to it, so he refuses.
"Okay! Then I will continue to look at the construction site. If there is anything Mr. Jin, then call me and I will definitely come over." The craftsman was rejected and was not angry. He said respectfully, and then left.
Jin Xin heard this, just nodded and continued to see the progress of the construction site.
Although Jin Xin didn't understand the progress and quality of these construction sites at all and how they were doing, he still pretended to look around here.
However, it is not entirely true that it is said to be pretending.
Because Jin Xin was still carefully checking whether dangerous things would happen to the project, he was not pretending to behave.
In recent days, there have been three construction sites on Longshou Mountain. There have been accidents during construction, causing seven workers to be slightly injured and even almost killed.
For this reason, the Dragon Sect spent more money to heal the workers' injuries and also gave them some money as compensation to allow them to recover with peace of mind.
Although the Dragon Sect can be a little bit unscrupulous and doesn't need to do this, Fu Yu and Jin Xin still took the initiative to do this.
Jin Xin did this, of course, for the reputation of the Dragon Sect.
He was worried that the Shenlong Sect would not help the workers who were injured in their work for the Shenlong Sect at all. If they spread it, they would be said that the Shenlong Sect would not save them when they were killed, which would ruin the reputation of the Shenlong Sect, so he did so.
As for Fu Yu, he was simply unable to get over his conscience. He didn't want to deliberately make the Dragon Sect's reputation in this matter because he wanted to make the Dragon Sect decline. He did not treat the injured seven workers, and even took care of their lives and let them die on their own.
Although Fu Yu knew that he would not give the seven workers to help them, and the injured workers would treat them or even compensate them, which would directly destroy the reputation of the Dragon Sect, when he thought that the seven workers were all poor people, Fu Yu felt a little reluctant to do so.
After all, the seven workers came to Longshoushan to work just to make some money to live. They may even be the pillars of the family. If they are injured, they may not be able to live the entire family behind them.
If the Dragon Sect doesn't care about it when they are injured, then they spend money to cure the injury and have no source of income to survive during the recovery period, they will definitely be themselves, and even their entire family will live a more poor life, and they may even lose their families.
There is no way, a society with low productivity and poor people are most likely to end up losing everything due to a little injury or illness.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Fu Yu still couldn't do such a thing that was against his conscience, so he and Jin Xin were surprisingly consistent with their opinions and had to take the initiative to treat the seven workers and give them some money so that they could get through the difficulties while recovering from the injury.
It is precisely because of this that even though the Shenlong School has reminded all construction sites to pay attention to construction safety, Jin Xin is still afraid that the safety work is not done properly, so he will carefully observe whether there are safety hazards on this construction site.
After all, if there are fewer accidents, the Dragon Sect will not have to compensate the injured or even dead workers, which is equivalent to saving money for the Dragon Sect.
It felt that the time for the inspection was almost over, so Jin Xin turned around and left and continued to inspect the next construction site.
Now Jin Xin’s daily daily life is not only dealing with internal affairs of the Dragon Sect, but also running around in every construction site on Longshou Mountain so repeatedly.?
"Why don't Mr. Jin stay for a while?"
"Goodbye Mr. Jin!"
"Mr. Jin will come often in the future!"
...
The craftsmen and workers on this construction site shouted actively after seeing Jin Xin leave, as if they were sending off Jin Xin.
Jin Xin was still a little immune to the enthusiasm of these people. Of course, for Jin Xin, this was not the most enthusiastic time for the workers and craftsmen. The most enthusiastic time was when they received their wages every evening.
In the evening, when the craftsmen and workers who had been busy for a day received the wages that day, they would be even more grateful to Jin Xin for giving them such a money-making job and were more enthusiastic about Jin Xin.
To be honest, these workers and craftsmen are so enthusiastic about Jin Xin, but this actually makes Jin Xin very useful in his heart.
However, when Jin Xin thought that the reason why craftsmen and workers were so enthusiastic about him was because Shenlong sent them wages and food, Jin Xin was a little uneasy.
Of course, Jin Xin cannot save money for craftsmen and workers. After all, this is the money that people deserve to work hard.
However, he had to pay wages to these workers every day, which made Jin Xin a little annoyed, especially because Longshou Mountain did not have enough copper coins to pay, so he had to go down the mountain often to get copper coins in Shanyang County.
After all, facing craftsmen and technical personnel who pay a lot of wages, Jin Xin can still cut the money and pay them wages, but for those workers with low wages, Jin Xin obviously can only exchange copper coins to pay them wages, and there is no other way to choose.
Although Fu Yu once proposed to him to discuss with the workers the monthly payment method to settle the wages, so that they could use large amounts of money to settle the wages for them, and they would no longer have to pay them wages every day, Jin Xin thought about it and directly denied Fu Yu's proposal.
Because Jin Xin knew that these workers prefer daily wages. After all, they may start working today and cannot do anything tomorrow due to other things, so they are asked to get their wages in the form of monthly wages, which is obviously a bit unrealistic.
Moreover, if the monthly wage is paid, it may be that the workers' days of work are miscalculated because of the long time period, and the workers are paid incorrectly, which is something that Jin Xin doesn't want to see.
Jin Xin knew that it was something he had to do to settle a large amount of wages for workers and craftsmen every day, but when the cost of these foods was getting higher and higher, Jin Xin couldn't stand it anymore.
Speaking of which, at the beginning, the food supply of craftsmen and workers was indeed the same as Fu Yu said before. He spent about 45 taels of silver a day, which was not much more than Jin Xin originally thought of a meal forty taels of silver.
It is precisely because of this that when Fu Yu asked the craftsmen to come and eat for free, the Shenlong Sect provided them with food, Jin Xin agreed at that time. After all, he only had more mouths to eat, so Jin Xin didn't care at that time. After all, so many workers invited them to dinner, so he didn't have the craftsmen's mouths.
However, as he consumed more and more money every day because he invited craftsmen and workers to dinner, Jin Xin's expression became increasingly uneasy.
After some investigation, Jin Xin knew that there were two reasons for the consumption of money.
On the one hand, the Longshoushan project was paid enough and the food was full, which made many people nearby who had not come to join the recruitment industry and came to work, resulting in more and more people eating the food provided by the Shenlong class.
What's more, it is to let children who are underage but strong and capable of working go up the mountain to help their workers and earn money, and eat enough food.
Half-old children starve their father to death. Those children are just when they grow up. They are afraid of their parents at home. Now they can make them have enough food, and even have meaty smells in the meal, and they can also get wages. Therefore, these parents of course want their children to come to Longshou Mountain to work.
Although these projects are dangerous, they have already worked and know that they can prevent these dangers. In addition, they will also watch their children from the side and prevent them from causing danger. Therefore, under the temptation of wages and food, they still let their children work.
On the other hand, the workers who originally went up the mountain to work in Longshou Mountain during the day but went down the mountain to rest at night, because the Shenlong Parcel also provided morning and evening meals, especially the food supplied by the Shenlong Parcel, there was also a meaty smell, so the workers who wanted to save money and reduce living expenses did not go home at night and stayed on Longshou Mountain.
The workers who don’t have anyone else at home often are not at home and are afraid of being thieves and need to go home to see the workers. They are also because of the good food from the Shenlong Sect, so they reluctantly go down the mountain and go home to take a look.
The workers chose to stay on Longshou Mountain. Although they did not have to go up and down the mountain every day because they had been staying on the construction site, which increased some construction efficiency, the workers did this so that the cost of the Shenlong Patrol's daily food supply was constantly increasing.
Through daily calculations, Jin Xin found that the cost of supplying food has risen sharply from 45 taels of silver at the beginning to 78 taels of silver now.
Moreover, the cost of supplying food is still rising, which has exceeded 80 taels, and it is directly rising at a cost price of more than 100 taels.
After doing this, how could Jin Xin remain calm?
If the Dragon Sect provided food for craftsmen and workers so free, then the money in the Dragon Sect’s account might be consumed directly.
In that case, the Dragon Sect is very likely to go bankrupt and have no money at all.
Therefore, Jin Xin was already considering whether to cancel the free food supply of craftsmen and workers, so as to save money for Shenlongpai.
However, the current Shenlong Sect is almost the same as what Fu Yu said before. Among the people, the reputation of spreading is getting better and better. This is why Jin Xin did not make up his mind to cancel the free food for craftsmen and workers even though he wanted to cancel it.
Sometimes, when Jin Xin saw Fu Yu, he wanted to discuss with him the matter of canceling the supply of food for craftsmen and workers, but in the end, Jin Xin did not propose this matter to Fu Yu.
Everything was as Fu Yu had expected in advance, adhering to the concept of "everything is for the sect, and everything can be done for the sect", Jin Xin, for the reputation of the sect, even though he knew that it would cost the Shenlong Sect a lot of money to supply food to craftsmen and workers, he still did not dare to stop supplying food to workers.
Even Jin Xin didn't dare to let Xiao Zhan and other people in the kitchen reduce the amount of food they eat for craftsmen and workers every day, so as to achieve the goal of saving money.
After all, if craftsmen and workers are not full, they will lose the energy to work, which will delay the progress of the Longshou Mountain project, and this is something Jin Xin doesn't want to see.
Moreover, if the food supply between craftsmen and workers is suddenly stopped, Jin Xin cannot guarantee whether they will cause disgust and distrust of the workers because of their rebellion, causing the workers to quit.
If that were the case, it would definitely delay the progress of the Longshoushan project, which would be even more unworthy for Jin Xin.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Jin Xin has been very annoyed recently.
Jin Xin regretted that he had promised Fu Yu to provide free food to the craftsmen and workers. After all, this was really too expensive!
