Zhu Biao saw that Han Du's expression became strange. He was also a man, and he knew what Han Du was thinking as soon as his thoughts changed.
He said angrily: "What are you thinking about?"
Han Du said with a smile: "You are not good at that, right? Let me tell you, this is a disease, and when you get treatment, you can't hide your illness and avoid treatment."
The more Han Du talked, the more he looked at Zhu Biao teasingly.
Zhu Biao's face became darker and darker, and he even wanted to turn around and leave. But the moment he took a step forward, he realized that Han Du was urging him to leave.
Therefore, Zhu Biao did not leave, but said with a smile: "We have given birth to several orphans, do you think it is okay? You are not married yet, right?"
Han Du was immediately choked by Zhu Biao, but he still held back and said: "How can your highness, a rich man of gold, be given away for nothing? There are many people on this street, so it is not safe."
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "It's okay. Wouldn't it be nice to bring a few guards?" With a casual move, two people appeared from nowhere and quietly walked behind Zhu Biao and protected him. Strictly true.
After reading it, Han Du swallowed and couldn't find any other excuse. And even if he made excuses again, judging from Zhu Biao's appearance, he would stay shamelessly, so Han Du had no choice but to let him follow.
The two of them walked on the street, wandering aimlessly. After walking through the main street, we walked into the alley.
Different from the bustling streets, the alleys are the fireworks of the world. Everyone on the street is dressed brightly, some vendors greet them with smiling faces, some ladies wear veils on their faces, and some Xiaojiabiyu covers her smile with an umbrella. The alley was a busy scene. It was already winter, but Zhu Biao still saw people in ragged clothes delivering briquettes from door to door.
Looking at the dark hands of those people, they must put on a smile every time they deliver briquettes to the door.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "The lives of the common people are still too miserable."
Han Du followed Zhu Biao's gaze and said with a smile: "These people's lives are not hard."
Zhu Biao suddenly turned around and looked at Han Du, as if looking at a person without sympathy.
"They can only wear clothes like that, and you said
Their life is not considered hard, so what kind of life is considered hard? "
Han Du shook his head and said: "Your Highness, delivering briquettes is a very dirty job. No matter what kind of clothes you wear, they will soon be dyed black. People are reluctant to wear good clothes to do this job. They work They will definitely wear the shabbiest and worst clothes. Your Highness, you can look at the complexion on their faces. Their complexions are rosy, obviously they are not short of food and clothing."
Zhu Biao looked carefully for a few times before the warmth and anger on his face gradually faded. It is indeed what Han Du said. Although these people are in ragged clothes, even in such a cold weather, their faces are rosy, and it can be seen from the smiles they treat people. It doesn't look like they are fake. Life is really not that bad.
Nodding, Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Originally I thought that without charcoal, the people in the capital would inevitably starve and freeze, but now it seems that they are much better. Why is this?"
"Your Highness, this is the role of resources." Han Du said.
"Resources?" Zhu Biao was confused.
Han Du explained: "Your Highness, charcoal is a resource. In the past, if you want to get charcoal, you always need to cut down the trees first, and then you can burn it into charcoal and sell it to thousands of households. In this way, the price Naturally, it will remain high. But now, you only need to dig out the charcoal from the mountain, and it can be directly made into briquettes. In the past, if you wanted to burn a thousand kilograms of charcoal, you would need at least 20 people, from cutting wood to transporting, and then It takes at least ten days of work to burn it in the kiln. But what about now? A person can dig out a thousand pounds of pebbles in just half a day, and pebbles are even more durable than charcoal. This is equivalent to twenty years ago. What one person has been busy with for more than ten days can be done by one person in half a day. The income they can obtain in more than ten days can be earned by one person in half a day. Your Highness, you said, in this way, the lives of the people will be improved Can it be bad?"
It turned out that this was the truth. Zhu Biao nodded frequently after hearing this. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and suddenly asked: "But, it's not right."
"What's wrong?" Han Du suddenly refused to change what Zhu Biao wanted to ask.
"Now that you've said it, those coal diggers can complete the task of twenty people and ten in just half a day.
Things that geniuses can accomplish. You also said that they can earn more money than before, but I have never heard of how much money they earn. How much salary do you give them? 500 yuan a month, or twice a month? "Zhu Biao stared at Han Du with a look of realization, unwilling to let him go.
"I..." Han Du was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that Zhu Biao's brain circuit was so strange. He suddenly thought of issues in capital society that most people had not thought of for hundreds of years.
Facing the aggressive Zhu Biao, Han Du laughed dryly and said indifferently: "Your Highness misunderstood. It was just an example given by the minister. In reality, there are not that many."
"Then tell me, how many are there?" Zhu Biao bared his teeth and sneered at Han Du, holding his hands together, waiting for Han Du's quibble. Based on his understanding of Han Du, whenever Han Du shows this expression, it is when Han Du is in the wrong.
"Your Highness, you can't just dig out the coal, it also costs a lot of money to transport it," Han Du said seriously.
Zhu Biao sneered and asked: "How big is huge? There must be a number. Tell me."
"Well, I haven't calculated it carefully, but it's not low anyway. If His Highness needs it, how about I calculate it carefully when I'm free and show it to His Highness?" Han Du smiled. Han Du still understands the project cost, but as for how to increase the number? Simply magnifying the number of an item ten times is a stupid thing to do. What is really clever is to divide things that can be done in one time into ten times. In this way, not only can each number look reasonable, but you can also get the impression of being diligent in doing things in front of your boss. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.
"Handu, don't try to fool Gu. How much effort can it take for the coal diggers to load the coal into the mine cart, lower it from the mountain, and then transport it to the capital?" Zhu Biao shouted immediately.
Han Du saw that Zhu Biao was not fooled, so he had to explain forcefully, "That's different. Although it seems easy to come down from the mountain, the cost of laying the track and building the mine car is very high. And after the track mine car is built, it still needs Daily maintenance is a huge expense.”
