Take the mall to Datang

"Lan Guogong, let's see if there are enough people here. There are already a lot of people registered in the Lantian County Yamen. It's no problem to attract another 3000 people with just one word." Guo Shouyi trotted over.

"Magistrate Guo has worked hard. Let's check the progress first. If there is not enough manpower, it will not be too late to increase it." Yuan Shan said.

Just chatting here, a team of convoys arrived and saw pork and a large amount of food and vegetables on board. It was clear at a glance that this was going to be ready for lunch, and a big pot was set up on the stove. I haven’t seen it for a long time. After such a posture, it is still very lively for 3000 people to have a meal.

Seeing the manager of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Shan said, "Your food is pretty good."

"Now this is a standard. There are a lot of pork reserves around Chang'an, so it is more cost-effective to have more meat." The manager said.

Yuan Shan looked at Guo Shouyi and said, "How is the food preparation on your side?"

"Just now the manager of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce said the same thing. The food standard is the same now. In addition to wages, workers in Chang'an must be guaranteed food. In terms of R&F, the demand for these workers is much higher." Guo Shouyi explained .

Yuan Shan knew that the labor cost in Chang'an was very high now, and there was no way to do it in a big city. There were too few people willing to do this hard work, and the labor force was insufficient.

Chapter 977

He can't solve it. The general environment is like this now, unless the population of Chang'an explodes several times, but it is impossible in this situation. Due to the constraints of the local household registration, even if there are migrant workers in Chang'an, they all go through the chamber of commerce, and most of them Some are temporarily out.

Unless there is a war or natural disaster, it is difficult to handle the transfer of household registration.

The building materials chamber of commerce has received the project, and most of their current workers hire people from other places for training. From contracting the project to construction, the standard of treatment is still a bit lucrative, and the people in Chang'an are rarely free to do these jobs now.

Lantian County was able to recruit so many people at once mainly because of Lantian County’s household registration, which supplemented its population. The current population of Lantian County is about the same as that of a Zhongzhou, but it doesn’t matter, because there is still enough space .

As they said, another convoy arrived, this time bringing more goods than the first carriage. The water in the cauldron was already boiling, and the chopped pork was put directly in it, and salt and other seasonings were added. There was a smell of meat.

Both Yuan Shan and Guo Shouyi ate on the construction site, and the taste was replenished in the restaurant, but the excitement alone couldn't be exchanged for money.

"Haha, eat well, everyone, and there will be a celebration banquet when the project is completed, so there's no need for good wine." Yuan Shan said.

"Really? Keep your word." Someone yelled.

"Don't talk nonsense, can you doubt the Duke of the country, you must count as what you say." Another person said unwillingly.

Everyone chatted a few words casually, and found that some of the people were bored to eat, and many people had to rely on their performance to receive bonuses, so they worked extra hard.

The rest time is not included in the working hours. Such a flexible working system was originally invented by Yuan Shan.

However, it is really reliable for those who want to perform well. As long as they work diligently to calculate the working hours and increase their wages every day, they will get more wages than others. He likes such workers. Those who are willing to endure hardships and work hard will be given preferential treatment, and it is possible to change from temporary employment to long-term employment.

No one will struggle with money, and he has always believed that labor will be rewarded. He went back after lunch, and the school affairs can come to an end first.

It takes time to cultivate talents. What he has to do right now is to go to the money bank. He attaches great importance to the operation of the money bank. Now that there is a newly developed paper, the matter of money tickets must be implemented.

In the afternoon, after the last tour of the school, I went to the largest money store in Chang’an City. There are many office staff, and the layout of the money store is very interesting. It is isolated with iron pillars. In order to avoid being hijacked by gangsters, no one outside has a key, and the iron doors are all locked.

When Yuan Shan walked into the lobby, the reception staff came up to greet him immediately, and they all saluted when they saw Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan waved his hand and said, "Where is the Tang Dynasty steward?"

"Mr. Lan, my subordinate is here. May I ask what you need?" The manager asked in the reception window, without any intention of going out. The money bank stipulates that you can't leave your post without permission during work, and you need to ask for leave to report if you have something to do. Going to the toilet is the same.

And the steward in the lobby is responsible for this matter, and the substitute will go wherever there is a need.

Yuanshan knew that he couldn't get in, but in fact, this kind of communication didn't affect it. There were not many people doing business. Only Yuan Shan himself knows this secret, and the manager of Datang, who is Qian Xing, also knows this, but he does not have the key to the safe, and Yuan Shan has the key.

You can't get in even if you have the key without the special seal of Yuanshan, and there are layers of checkpoints to prevent mistakes.

"How's the response of the new money ticket?" Yuan Shan asked the lobby manager directly outside.

"After the special paper was put into use, the news that all our people have been replaced has been sent out. At present, the business of our bank is almost [-]% completed, and the other [-]% are mostly replaced in foreign money banks. The files reported by the local money banks are still there. It will take some time," said the lobby steward.

"Basically, the business has been completed well. Next, the Ministry of Economic Development will increase publicity. After a while, fixed-amount money tickets of [-] yuan will be issued. You will have to work hard again. At that time, people from the local money bank will draw some help. From now on, we need to dispatch a large amount of coins to deal with the issuance of fixed-amount bills, and we must ensure that people trust us." Yuan Shan said.

"Yes, we will definitely do it," said the steward in the lobby.

"That's all I want to say. The Ministry of Economic Development will intervene in this specific matter later." Yuan Shan said.

After inspecting the money bank, he returned directly to the Duke's mansion.

There are ten boxes of freshly printed Baiguan banknotes in the backyard. The face value has already exceeded [-] million, and there are many printed ones. Thanks to the advantages of movable type printing, the serial number is stamped directly with the serial number stamp.

There is no particularly good way now. Printing and dyeing are separated, from the beginning of papermaking to the final stamping code. Of course, this is not the end. When it is issued, the money bank needs to register the stub, so the money tickets produced now are all stamped. , half of which is to be cropped.

"Master, you are back, Qin Si and the others are still stamping, they have been busy all day." Caiyi said softly.

"How long will it take to finish?" Yuan Shan asked.

"We've only built less than half a box now, and it will take at least a month to complete it according to the coding sequence provided by the master." Caiyi roughly estimated and replied.

"It's been too long, send more people, let me talk about it." Yuan Shan said.

Entering the backyard, seeing Dugu Ruolan was reconciling the accounts, he leaned over to her and said, "Ruolan, can you ask more people to help you print the number?"

"It's okay for my husband to say so, but isn't this matter said to be kept secret? I'm afraid if there are too many people..." Dugu Ruolan said.

"What I mean is that it's enough to find a reliable person. Don't you have many cooks like Yunxi under your command? They can do such simple things." Yuan Shan said.

"Since my husband has said it, I will ask them to help, just in case they are making a mistake." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Well, you said you need to worry, I'd better go and see for myself." Yuan Shan said and went to the back house in the inner courtyard. The bills are all one hundred guan in face value, and it doesn't take much effort to stamp them, but it takes time to wait for them to dry and then sort them out.

Chapter 978

A large banner was hung in front of the building of Hepingfang Shopping Mall, which read: "Pay with money and banknotes, and all products in the mall will be discounted by [-]."

Another one reads, "Bicycle manufacturers have a big promotion. Yuanjia's 130 yuan bicycle can only be purchased with a fixed-rate ticket for [-] yuan. If you want to buy it quickly, the quantity is limited to [-] units."

The Hepingfang shopping mall advertised discounts for using fixed-amount money tickets, and the song and dance hall in Pingkangfang even advertised that if you use a fixed-amount money ticket to open a "super member", you can enjoy a [-]% discount, and you can also enjoy a discount on drinks within a week discount.

For skydiving in Xishan, you can enjoy free training benefits for half a month if you use money tickets to handle the umbrella business.

For the drinks issued by the Ministry of Economic Development, merchants can only pay [-]% off the payment through fixed-rate bills.

In the whole of Chang'an, everything related to the Yuan family and the Ministry of Economy and Development can be settled with money bills. As for what money bills are, many people pay attention to the house and the money line.

Large denominations of more than [-] guan still need to be registered, but the money ticket with a fixed amount of [-] guan can be obtained by exchanging coins of equivalent value. There is no grade, so there is no need to trouble. Anyone who gets it can use it, so a statement has been made in front of Qian Xingmen.

It is to explain that once the money ticket is lost, it will not be reissued. If the money ticket falls into the water or is torn apart, you only need to take the damaged money ticket to the money bank to exchange it. .

When the merchants got the news for the first time, they all went to the money shop to see this new thing. It was very clear that this money note might be used as a coin in the future, and the current situation is a one-hundred-coin denomination note. Only suitable for carrying and some sound on the settlement.

While saving trouble, it also increases some risks. After all, the denomination of the money ticket is very large, and if it is accidentally lost, it will cost a lot of money.

Yuanshan thought about this but didn't think too much about it. His original intention was to let everyone get used to it first. However, the number of money tickets for Qibaiguan is currently limited, and it still takes a lot to make everyone familiar with the purchase value of this kind of money ticket. Time.

It's like someone wants to pay with money bills, but the recipient will definitely not agree with this thing when they see it for the first time, but it is more convenient to carry it. From Chang'an to Luoyang, carry a few money bills, Go to the Luoyang money bank to directly exchange it into money, which saves the trouble of coin transportation. Presumably many merchants have seen this feature of money tickets.
