Jizhou Prefectural Government House.

After Song Tingshan got off the government office, he returned to the back house. Mrs. Song stepped forward to take over the official hat and helped her husband change his clothes. She asked happily: "Why did you come back early today?"

However, Song Tingshan angrily took off his official robe and sat at the table with only his middle coat on. He grabbed the teapot and poured water. The maid saw that the master was in a bad mood. He poured the water himself, so stay away.

, don’t eat it and get hung up.

Mrs. Song gave the maid a look, signaling her to go out and stop waiting. Then she smiled and said, "Did Mr. Li do something wrong again today?"

After being married for many years, Song Tingshan knew his husband's temper and temperament well. Recently, due to the arrival of two officials from the Yu Department, Song Tingshan came home with a stinky face every day.

"Shameless!" Song Tingshan slammed the teacup on the table: "The last time I went up the mountain to prospect for mines, I met Madam Chu. She suggested carefully checking the rocks at the bottom of the mountain. What she said was reasonable and well-founded. Ah, what did Li Jin say?

He said, "A woman's words cannot be trusted."

Then, after waiting and taking a look, everyone was sure that the ore was indeed exposed, and judged that it was not only a mineral point, but also a large vein. He turned around and reported to the court that after his careful survey,

, discovered a huge vein of iron ore, and quoted the Chu Qing Dynasty's saying, "There is ocher above, and there is iron below."

The most irritating thing is that he said in his memorial that local officials do not know how to pretend to understand, and laymen give orders to experts. He hopes that the emperor will issue an order to prevent local officials from getting too involved in the affairs of the Yu Department! Who is he talking about? This is not pointing at

Should I scold you?"

Mrs. Song quickly refilled the tea: "This person is really a villain!"

"Originally, I didn't know about this. It was Li Jin who brought the emperor's handwriting in the afternoon, and the emperor told me that I only need to fully cooperate with the officials of the Ministry of Yu. At the time, I thought this 'only' was a bit confusing, and didn't think much about it. But this time

The father-in-law who came to announce the decree was a member of Concubine De, and he just secretly told me the cause and effect of the matter, and then I realized that Li Jin had actually used this method!"

Mrs. Song advised: "When Mrs. Chu was recuperating in the mansion, I mentioned some of our daughter's troubles to her. She told me that she once told Xiaobao that when she heard bad words, she would recite a curse in her heart!"

"Recite a curse?" Song Tingshan was suddenly interrupted by his wife and could not turn back.

"Yeah, recite the mantra - don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants the sutra, ignores it, scolds yourself."

"Pfft!" Song Tingshan's tea was not in his stomach and he squirted out!

Seeing that her husband was in a better mood, Mrs. Song said: "This is not a matter of the Yu family, this is a matter of the imperial court! How can it be that the Yu family can have the final say on such a large mineral vein?"

"That's right!" Song Tingshan said angrily: "It is said that the iron ore on the surface has not yet been explored to where it extends. It may extend all the way to Donglun, and it is unknown how much is underground. Just this part of the mountain,

It's enough to dig for thirty to fifty years. How can he, a member of the Yu Department under the Ministry of Works, cover the sky with one hand?"

"This man is headstrong and eager to take credit, but he has no foundation in Jizhou, so I don't have to worry. Since he wants to take over everything, let him take care of it first. Anyway, the imperial court will not let such a big mine go.

No one is sent to supervise it. The most important thing now is to build a granary."

Master Song scratched the back of his head: "Oh, I'm worried about this too. Madam Chu has a personal relationship with us, so I handed over this business to her. But do you think her workshop can work? Master came back and asked her

There are only three kilns, which are not big. But her bricks are really good."

Mrs. Song thought for a while and said, "There's no need to worry. Madam Chu's temperament is such that she wouldn't dare to take on the porcelain work without a diamond. Look at what she does. Is there anything we can imagine?"

"That's true. However, to build a granary, we need bricks from two granaries, which is not something that a small workshop can undertake." Song Tingshan was still worried. It is one thing to return a favor, but to delay the court's affairs, he has to bear the responsibility.

Great responsibility.

"I'm afraid Madam Chu's only problem now is money. The thousand taels she received were given to her by Mrs. Hong and I," Mrs. Song said.

"Master said that Madam Chu requires a very high deposit."

"That's it. Mrs. Chu will not make mistakes without aim. I can tell you, you have to pay the deposit in time. Last time I mentioned that I would buy bricks from her and give them to Mrs. Hong, but she sent someone to deliver them yesterday.

No, they still don’t accept cash.”

"oh?"

"I said I'm not in a hurry to use it here. It's better to take it back and focus on business first. The person who came said that they, Mrs. Chu, said that they don't need so many kiln bricks."

"So, she has a plan in mind. Don't worry, I will have someone send the power of attorney, deed and deposit together in a few days."

After discussion at the court meeting, it was unanimously decided: first, to smelt nearby the iron mine. Second, to set up an additional weapons workshop nearby. Third, to build various military weapons workshops in various states, under the supervision of the magistrate, general judge, promotion, and general supervisor.

This third article is an additional addition. As the war changes, some systems also need to be improved. Today, the main war in Daxuan Kingdom is concentrated on the border between Daxuan and Donglun.

This is the first time that mineral veins have been discovered on the border of Daxuan Kingdom, so this third article is also setting a sample for how to deal with border mineral deposits in the future.

Baolu Group.

When Chu Qing came to "inspect" the construction site, he found that the construction site was lively but not cluttered, and there were many people but not noisy. He glanced around and saw no one.

"Where is Baijia?" Chu Qing grabbed a person passing by and asked.

"Over there." The man pointed in a direction.

Looking around, he saw two people far away. Chu Qing led Xiaobao towards that side. Xiaobao was trying not to let Chu Qing hold him, because he felt that would make Chu Qing tired. Although Chu Qing wanted to

Think of walking with your baby as a 30-pound weight training exercise.

Bai Jiazheng was talking to Village Chief Wu. When he saw Chu Qing coming, he stepped forward to report: "Village Chief Wu allows us to choose 200 acres of land by ourselves, and we will give an additional 30 acres as an additional bonus."

Chu Qing quickly expressed her gratitude, but Village Chief Wu waved his hand: "Mrs. Chu, there is no need to be polite. As long as the salary you give is appropriate, everyone will thank you."

Baijia stretched out his hand and made a circle and said: "Boss, our original land of more than 100 acres is relatively long and narrow. Based on the original land, I extended it 46 feet to the north so that we will not block the entrance from the official road.

."

The measurement standards in ancient times were different from those today. Chu Qing looked at it and estimated that the original length remained unchanged and the width increased. It became a relatively regular rectangle with a length of more than a thousand and a width of about two hundred meters.

Chu Qing nodded. Indeed, the original more than one hundred acres was just a narrow strip. Now it is also long and narrow, but it looks much more comfortable.

"What are you doing over there?" Chu Qing asked, pointing to the original place, where several teams were lined up.

"I discussed it with the village chief and felt that there are still not enough people in our village. I also told Zhang Village and Li Village that they are now signing up in groups." Baijia replied.

"I asked them to first divide them into groups according to the type of work, and then divide them into two teams based on work pieces and hours, and cooks were divided into separate groups." Baijia continued.

Chu Qing applauded Baijia in his heart. As a modern person, he didn't have a clue, but Baijia got it in order so quickly. Village Chief Wu also had no objection. This method is better than the classification of long-term workers and short-term workers, and it is less likely to happen.

Bastard.

At noon, the noise on the venue ended. Chu Qing took Xiaobao and twenty elders to eat lunch together.

The purpose was to hold a temporary meeting. Chu Qing announced that each person's monthly salary would be increased to 800 Wen. The premise was that he would become his own servant.

This must be consulted. They are refugees now, but they can apply for local household registration after one year. If they become their own servants, they need to sign a deed of sale. In other words, they will become low-class residents, and their children will also have low-class registration in the future.

If you don't sell yourself, you will be a refugee. You will get local household registration after one year, which will not affect your children, but you will have no land and no income.

Selling one's body, changing one's status to a lower status, raising wages, affecting children, but one has a fixed income.

So this is a relatively difficult multiple-choice question, but Chu Qing left a living chance, that is, by signing a living contract. The period is ten years.

The contract of sale in this world is basically the same as the modern employment contract. The difference is that it has a great impact on one's class status. Farmers and servants are the difference between free people and slaves. If you are a slave, the children you give birth to are also slaves.

The contract of sale is divided into a living contract and a dead contract. Like the employment contract, the living contract is time-sensitive. The two parties can set a time limit, but the minimum is ten years. When the time limit is up, the contract can be renewed or terminated with the employer. Termination of the contract and

Modern times are different, and money is needed to redeem one's life.

Because these twenty people sold themselves, when the time limit is up, Chu Qing does not need to collect the ransom money. Of course, he can also continue to keep them on unfounded charges.
