Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"Almost." Li Jiyang said: "The most important thing is that if the manpower is our own, slaves are not allowed. They have a bond of sale or there are escaped slaves. It would be bad if they ran out and leaked their skills. If it is our own, How good is the one that doesn’t run away? It can keep their secrets and accommodate them. I give them a holiday when they plow the land in spring, weed in summer, and harvest grain in autumn. There is nothing to do in winter, and the workshop starts, and both men and women come. , the old man in the family watched, the children read in the morning and learn boxing in the afternoon, and in the future they will be able to read and fight at the same time!"

Li Jiyang's words were so beautiful that the eyes of the two generals shone with gold!

"Then can your workshop make money?" Old General Meng became worried after he was happy.

Just one winter, what can you do?Robbery?

But even the fighting stops in winter!

"Yes!" Li Jiyang had already thought about it: "The first workshop is the most important, the job that makes a lot of money. Everyone works all winter, and when the spring is warmer in the second year, they go back to work casually. What should I do? I'll find someone to sell it. The things they produce are guaranteed to the whole world, and our Daqin is the scorpion's papa, the only one!"

The first thing Li Jiyang thought of was glass!

That thing is good!

It's all made of stone!

No money!

Crystals are rare in this era, but Ah Zheng told him that the two queen mothers are now guarding the crystal products he sent over as treasures, and they also said that if they pass away, they must be buried with themselves!

Although it was scary to hear it at the time, Li Jiyang later knew that this was an opportunity!

Opportunity to make big money!

At the end of the Warring States period, the craftsmanship of various countries was greatly improved, and a hundred schools of thought contended in literature. The rulers of various countries also enjoyed life very much. If you sell them glass products, it will be a huge profit!

The most important thing is that the proportion of this thing is simple, and the craftsmanship is not complicated. Even if it is a servant who has signed a contract of prostitution, it may be bought, or even escaped with the formula!

If it is changed to the retired Qin Jun, it will be different!

People in this era are very particular about loyalty, plus I use some means to buy some Xingwei robot team from Lantian to watch 24 hours a day, I don't believe that there are still people who dare to steal the formula!

There is also cement, which is also a good thing, a construction artifact!

Of course, the products produced in the space can also be used. I haven't told Zero Zero One yet, but he believes that with Zero Zero One and their abilities, this must be a trivial matter!

"You kid, don't tell me you can't do it!" Wang Jian felt like a dream, how can there be such a good thing|"How can you not do it, kid?" Li Jiyang was wronged: "The kid is Qin Anjun."

"I'm still a great general!" Mr. Meng Ao didn't care about that matter: "How many people can you want?"

The Qin State fought frequently, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people who had nothing. They were reluctant to raise these people, and they added a burden to the Qin State. These generals, more than half of the servants in the family are hired such old soldiers , if they are not fully hired, someone has to work, otherwise they will really be fully hired back.

It is impossible for them to eat whatever they eat at home, but they can only have enough food and clothing to let them do some work within their ability.

Can't get tired yet.

"We need tens of thousands of people for the time being." Li Jiyang was thinking: "Set up a few workshops and see the production situation. Don't worry, even if you don't need them to work, you will still be able to get money during the idle period."

"If you don't work, you will pay me back?" What does this mean?

Neither of them understood.

"This is called guaranteed wages. I give them money so that they can continue to work with me during the slack season." Li Jiyang gestured: "If someone pays them a high price to work, why don't they come to me?"

"That's impossible!" Both of them denied it: "We know that our people are very good, and they will definitely not do anything because of money."

"Here it is again. If I don't give much money, I can earn a few months' wages every year. What can I do? My request still needs to be kept secret, and the staff must be stable, which means that they have no other opportunities to make money. , who can feel comfortable?" Li Jiyang didn't want them to be tyrannical: "I feel uncomfortable, how can I live like this?"

Li Jiyang has no place to cry if he is so aggrieved and then leaks the matter to him!

The two of them finally understood what Li Jiyang meant, but at the same time they were a little curious: What exactly is it?Can Qin Anjun make so much money?

Open a gold mine?

But what can you do with just digging for two or three months in winter?

I'm afraid it's not even enough to pay people?

"Let's go back and discuss it!" The two of them were not in such a hurry. Anyway, Li Jiyang wanted a lot of people. It is true that there are a lot of people in the army, but there are few old, weak, sick and disabled. , Qin Jun's treatment is considered good among the vassal states.

Hundreds of thousands of troops can only be supported by the country's lord, but at most one-tenth of them cannot fight, and any more will affect the combat effectiveness.

Tens of thousands of people have covered almost all those who are dragging their feet.

Li Jiyang's handwriting, the two of them dare not agree easily, they still need to discuss it with the king, even if the king is not in charge of the government now, the king still has the final say in the army.

When they were talking, Ying Zheng had been paying attention, and he would keep Li Jiyang for dinner in the evening. Now Ying Zheng has the final say in the palace, and let everyone go out instead of serving the meal.

The two sat together, eating their own food, and Ying Zheng asked Li Jiyang, "What did you talk to the two generals about this afternoon?"

Li Jiyang took the opportunity to tell Ying Zheng that he wanted to hire all the soldiers of the Qin army who had retired due to injuries.

"So many, tens of thousands of people, what do you use them for?" Ying Zheng thought too much: "If it's for me, it's unnecessary. It's been like this for many years, and you don't have to get me to change."

The burden of survival of tens of thousands of people cannot be carried by Xiaoyang alone!

"I am really short of manpower. Those who are able-bodied can farm. After all, food is also very important, and those who have retired are injured. Hiring them can still give them something to eat." Li Jiyang Quickly explain: "It's not to lighten your burden! I'm such a selfish person, it's good not to burden you!"

Ying Zheng laughed after hearing this: "I'm tall and healthy, and I'm not afraid of burdens!"

Li Jiyang hummed: "Simple mind, well-developed limbs!"

Ying Zheng turned his head and called for someone to come in: "Give Qin Anjun another bowl of meat and bones!"

"Give me less salt!" Li Jiyang's servant who rushed in shouted, "The horse is dead!"

The servant looked up at Li Jiyang, then at Ying Zheng.

"Listen to Qin Anjun!" Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"No." The servant bowed and retreated.

"You are a good servant. When you were talking about things at the beginning, he guarded the door and wouldn't let anyone in!" Li Jiyang said casually, he still remembered this servant.

"Huh?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Why don't I know?"

He never called himself lonely in front of Li Jiyang, but still referred to himself as "I".

Others only saw the young king's respect and closeness to Qin Anjun, but Li Jiyang didn't notice it at all because of the difference in his inner core!

"There were a lot of things going on at that time!" Li Jiyang didn't say much.

Ying Zheng saw that he didn't mind, so he didn't say anything. The meat and bones came, and there were some stewed dried vegetables in them. Li Jiyang was very happy to eat them.

There is nothing to eat in winter, just these sun-dried vegetables.

"Where's the green vegetables I gave?" Li Jiyang remembered that he had asked someone to deliver green vegetables to the palace every day, and green vegetables are very expensive at this time!

"Eat them all." Ying Zheng said without confidence.

Li Jiyang murmured: "It seems that I have to get some more tomorrow."

Ying Zheng: "...!"

It seems that tomorrow I still have to make more vegetables, and I have to let Xiaoyang see him eat, otherwise it is not a problem to keep giving more vegetables!

Li Jiyang went back after eating. It was cold in winter. After returning, he warmed up his body by warming himself by the fire in the hall before going in to see his little nephew.

The little guy was sitting on the kang, wearing small clothes, playing with a small spear, while Nurse Lan was arranging the washed little clothes.

"Young master." Seeing Li Jiyang coming in, he saluted quickly.

"Where's Chunya?" Without seeing Chunya, Li Jiyang sat down and played with his little nephew.

"I'm going to bring milk to the young master." Qin Anjun's mansion has breeding cows. Although they are not dairy cows, there are also cows that have given birth to calves. They can't give milk to everyone, but it's okay to give some to a few children.

I also drink soy milk on weekdays, but the soy milk cannot contain honey, and the taste is not very good.

Adults can drink it, but children don't like it. They prefer to eat tofu nao, which is soft and salty. Sure enough, when Chunya came back, she was carrying a small jar and a small clay bowl.

Li Jiyang fed his little nephew milk with his own hands, rinsed his mouth, and put him to sleep before leaving.

When leaving, Li Jiyang thought for a while: "Starting tomorrow, get me some milk too."

"No." Chunya was stunned for a moment, then nodded, it was just about a bowl of milk.

The days were short in winter, and Li Jiyang really wanted to be lazy, but he got up before sunrise on the second day and dragged several carts of vegetables into the palace in a dark rumble.

The Queen Mother's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Jiyang didn't feel at ease if he didn't look at it once a day. Every day, he secretly put water from the space into Zhao Ji's drink, fearing that something might happen to her.

I don't know what the two generals told Ying Zheng, but when Li Jiyang passed by, they had already discussed it.

"You can have people if you want, but build a workshop first, start with a few, and you won't need so many at once, is it for nothing!" Old General Meng Ao nodded.

"We also need to adjust our manpower bit by bit." General Wang Jian told Li Jiyang not to worry.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Li Jiyang nodded and bowed. He has manpower, and the rest will wait for him to build the factory next year.

"Is it useful to say thank you? Let's do something practical!" Old General Meng Ao stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's easy to handle, and I'll send you two to your house tomorrow!" Li Jiyang promised, patted his chest.

Sure enough, on the second day, the gift of thanks directly departed from Qin Anjun's mansion and delivered to the two generals' mansions respectively. The first gift was four sets of pearl jewelry. The complete sets were white pearls, pink pearls, gold pearls and silver pearls. Pearls include long hairpins, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

The difference between ancient times and the present is that pearls are cultivated now, but in ancient times they were actually picked from the sea, but all larger pearls were found in the deep sea. In the era without oxygen machines, people relied on fruit diving. If you hold your breath, you won't be able to dive much, so such deep-sea pearls are almost unrivaled, not to mention the value, especially colored pearls are almost hard to find.

What's more, people often say: Pearls are old and yellow, and pearls still have a lifespan. Pearls that are not good enough, after a certain period of time, the pearls will change color and become worthless.

The real jewels can last for a long time, and pearls also need maintenance.

A family that can take care of pearls is no ordinary family!

Li Jiyang sent these to the two generals' homes, not for them, and they don't need them, but for their family members. The reason is simple: the men have been fighting outside all year round, and the women have worked hard!

But the female relatives of the Mongolian and Wang families were moved badly!

Who takes women seriously at this time?The statistics of the population do not count as women, okay?

Li Jiyang did this very well. He respected women very much, he didn't think that women were a head shorter than men, and he didn't despise women.

Of course, I didn’t forget to bring something to the two generals, and he didn’t say goodbye either. BMW, produced in the space, has evolved to the highest quality horse breed. Traveling thousands of miles a day is bragging. When you are hungry, you can It is no problem to travel hundreds of miles a day.
