Huang Wen had just left and was ready when Di Renjie, a little fat man, came.
Well, you can’t call Di Renjie the fat guy now.
I don't know if this kid has reached the age where he has grown a lot or is just tired, but he can no longer look as chubby as before.
Although the whole person is much darker, he looks much stronger.
But no matter what, Di Renjie was still young after all. According to the labor laws of later generations, Yang Fan would definitely be charged with employing child labor.
Even so, Yang Fan didn't intend to let Di Renjie run away.
After all, Di Renjie did a great job in the position of Huating County's boss, and someone else might not have done a better job if he replaced him.
After Di Renjie came in, he said, "Di Renjie has met the Governor."
After bowing politely, Di Renjie did not speak any more, but his eyes drifted to Shangguan Yi who was sitting on the other side.
The meaning is obvious. It is inconvenient for him to report work when outsiders are around.
Seeing the first meeting between these two famous prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Fan chuckled and said: "Huaiying, no need to be polite, sit down quickly, I got a good product today, it came just in time, you are in luck!"
After Di Renjie sat down, Yang Fan introduced again: "Huaiying, let me introduce to you. This is the newly appointed inspector Shangguan Yi... You Shao, this is Pu Di Renjie, Di Huaiying, the head of Huating County. You can communicate more in the future. There must be benefits!”
"I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time!"
Shangguan Yi and Di Renjie had an official interview with each other.
After Di Renjie finished eating, Yang Fan asked, "What's wrong with Huaiying here?"
"To inform the Grand Governor, there are now a complex number of people in the Xinxing Industrial Park, and my subordinates want to manage these people according to blood or ethnic group..."
With that said, Di Renjie stated the purpose of his trip.
It turns out that there are more and more workshops in Huating County.
There are more and more glass factories, cement factories, paper mills, steel mills, printing factories... and various workshops that produce daily necessities.
Since these workshops were designated in a fixed area and the garden resembled an industrial zone in later generations, Yang Fan named this area Xinxing Industrial Park.
Although the name is very naughty, its meaning is absolutely significant!
After all, the products produced here not only meet local needs, but also provide enough supplies for Yang Fan to open up sea trade.
The more factories there are, the more workers they employ.
Countless people from all directions were attracted by the favorable conditions and became workers here.
This can lead to a phenomenon where these workers were relatively active at first, but then became increasingly lazy. Not only did the progress of the project slow down, but the products produced by each workshop were also much less than before.
As a result, the directors of these projects or workshops want to fire some workers.
But in this way, I want to make things worse.
Because these people come from all over the country, and these people do not come alone, but often in groups.
This phenomenon can easily lead to group resistance among these people and cause many group incidents.
As the director of Huating County, Di Renjie is responsible for registering and managing these people.
There were people making trouble every day, and of course Di Renjie had a headache, so he came to ask Yang Fan for instructions on how to deal with this kind of thing.
After hearing Di Renjie's words, Yang Fan thought for a while and said: "These workers come from all over the world. The factors that cause them to get together to make trouble are either blood ties or nostalgia... The shortcomings are that, in this case, breaking them up would be , let them form a relatively isolated group, which will be more conducive to management..."
Di Renjie frowned and said, "In this case, are these people deliberately lazy because they were forcibly separated by us? Wouldn't it greatly delay the project or the production progress of the workshop?"
"Haha, it depends on how you manage them. If you just force them apart like this, of course these people will complain. What if they can make more money after separation?" Yang Fan asked with a smile.
When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't understand that I might earn more after we were separated. He cheered up and said, "Please make it clear to the Governor!"
Yang Fan smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, most of these people who work for money are arranged into a factory or project according to their ethnic group or region, right? And the income received by these people is also similar, yes or no! "
"Not bad!" Di Renjie nodded.
This is also the way the labor of the lower class people was distributed in ancient times.
In a place or a class, income is almost the same, or even distributed evenly.
Yang Fan shook his head and said: "You can't stimulate people's motivation at all. The more you work, the more you get, especially in factories. Excellent people should be rewarded. If they are of the same ethnic group, it will be difficult to implement this." It’s a reward mechanism because it’s hard for everyone to get the extra share.”
"But if you break them up and assign them to various projects or workshops, and then implement a competitive reward mechanism, do you think everyone will be more motivated? Do you think those people are willing to work separately?"
Di Renjie slapped his thigh: "Of course I do. The Governor's approach is good. When income is linked to labor rewards, people can reach their maximum potential. With more income, no one will refuse to separate."
"Haha, let's do it like this!" Yang Fan made the final decision.
In fact, Yang Fan also saw the shortcomings of the "collective production team" model of later generations.
After all, the production team model also produces on a geographical basis.
But this resulted in a lot of lazy people.
Some cheaters can get the same work points even if they don't work very much. In fact, this is unfair.
In Yang Fan's view, if a factory is staffed by people from the same place, it would be the most difficult to manage, like those in later generations who went out to work.
Because once someone is touched, a chain reaction can easily occur.
Now that he had the solution, Di Renjie nodded and said: "I will immediately make a detailed plan and ask the heads of each workshop to work out the corresponding reward mechanism. However, there are two other things that I would like to ask Duoduo to help solve... …”
"What's up?"
"There are not enough staff. Every workshop or construction unit is asking me for people, but I can't find so many people!" Di Renjie spread his hands and said distressedly.
Although tens of thousands of people rushed into Huating County at once, it was difficult to spread it among so many construction units.
Moreover, Yang Fan has very detailed plans for each project, and has detailed standards for how long it takes to achieve what goals.
As soon as he heard that Di Renjie wanted someone, Yang Fan had no choice.
If he is short of money, he can find a way to get it, but there are not enough workers, what can he do?
What's more important is that now is the age of peace and prosperity, and people from all over the country cannot move on a large scale. Even Yang Fan can't help it!
The ability to mobilize so many people to come here to work was the result of his coordination in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
Di Renjie interjected at this time: "I heard that the Grand Governor is going to summon the Jiangnan gentry to discuss matters this afternoon?"
Yang Fan asked: "What does this have to do with the shortage of workers?"
Li Tai came to act as a peacemaker a few days ago, and Yang Fan agreed to work together with the Jiangnan gentry and other people by putting aside their old grudges, without hiding it from people like Di Renjie.
More importantly, Yang Fan also wanted to take these people to visit the workshops in the industrial zone, so he naturally wanted to inform Di Renjie.
Di Renjie smiled and said: "Just because you have no one, Grand Governor, does not mean that the Jiangnan nobles have no one!"
"How to say?"
Yang Fan is also very interested. The population is a treasure in every dynasty, and it cannot be compensated by the amount of money and food.
Whether a dynasty is prosperous or not, population is definitely a measure.
In the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan was actually not a densely populated area.
Because all dynasties have vigorously developed the north, large cities and populations are concentrated in the north.
Although Jiangnan has a vast territory, its population is actually very small.
According to historical records, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the population of the entire Jiangnan Road was only more than two million.
Compared with the entire Jiangnan Road, Huating County is actually only a palm-sized place.
As Yang Fan attracted a large number of migrant workers during this period, the population here has exceeded 200,000.
With so many people, no matter which city in ancient times, they belonged to a big city.
But among the population of more than 200,000, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 locals in Huating County, which shows the scarcity of the population.
This is why Di Renjie wanted to ask him for someone, but Yang Fan was helpless.
After all, it was impossible for him to create people out of thin air.
You know, he also brought over tens of thousands of people from the Fuso Kingdom and pirates, otherwise workers would be even more scarce now!
Now that Di Renjie actually said that there were people from the Jiangnan gentry, Yang Fan was of course very interested.
As a window to the world for future generations, Huating County’s strength and potential are beyond doubt.
But compared to the tens of millions of people in the future, these 200,000 or so people seem a bit too pitiful.
It is obviously unrealistic to rely on these people to build Huating County in a short time.
After all, many people still need to farm. This is determined by the limitations of the times, and even Yang Fan cannot change it.
"The Jiangnan gentry has many tenants, refugees and servants..."
"Tenants, refugees, servants..." Yang Fanfa was surprised: "Now that the world is not in chaos, how many refugees can there be, but those Jiangnan nobles lost at least 10,000 people in the battle from Yuntai Mountain, so there should not be many servants left. Bar?"
Di Renjie's face was solemn: "My subordinates are secretly investigating the Jiangnan nobles. These Jiangnan nobles own a lot of land. In order to pay less taxes, they rarely use fixed tenants, but absorb a lot of refugees. As far as the Jiangnan Xiao family is concerned, , I estimate that there will be no less than 5,000 refugees hiding in secret. If we include the guards’ servants and dead soldiers, there will be at least one unregistered population. This is just the Xiao family, and there will not be too few other Jiangmen noble families!"
"Ten thousand people?" Yang Fan took a breath: "This is just the Xiao family, is it true?"
You must know that the entire Jiangning County has less than 100,000 registered residents.
If these Jiangnan nobles liberated all their people, wouldn't they be larger than the population of Jiangning County?
Yang Fan looked a little unbelievable and turned to look at Xi Junmai.
All the information is in the hands of the spy leader, and Yang Fan wants to confirm it.
Seeing this, Xi Junmai said: "After the battle of Yuntai Mountain, my subordinates asked people to carefully investigate the situation of the Jiangnan nobles. The dead soldiers and soldiers lost by the Jiangnan nobles in Yuntai Mountain were indeed only a very small part."
"According to the general's estimation, since the great chaos in the Sui Dynasty, and the entire Jiangnan Road has been hit by disasters every year, many ordinary people will not be able to survive and will become refugees and depend on these Jiangnan noble families. As the leaders of Jiangnan, the Xiao family It’s not surprising that there are tens of thousands of people hiding there.”
When it comes to handling political affairs, Xi Junmai is far inferior to Di Renjie, Pei Xingjian and others. When it comes to marching and fighting, he is also inferior to Su Dingfang.
But Xi Junmai must be far more sensitive to intelligence than these people.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan asked Xi Junmai to be his intelligence chief.
Since Xi Junmai said that the Jiangnan gentry had so many refugees and dead soldiers, Yang Fan absolutely believed it.
Since there are people, it will be easy to handle. Yang Fan immediately slammed the table and shouted: "Since there are people here, I will ask them to hand it over obediently."
Xi Junmai was shocked.
However, thinking about Yang Fan's various methods after coming to Jiangnan, he also knew that Yang Fan would not just talk nonsense.
Di Renjie quickly dissuaded him: "Grand Governor, please don't act rashly. If you want to let the Jiangnan nobles release people, you must have a detailed layout and a careful plan. Otherwise, you will rashly arouse the Jiangnan nobles to resist, which will easily lead to a situation." Corruption is not worth the gain.”
Shangguan Yi also said: "Lord Lord Bo is right. The Governor must not use force easily!"
Xi Junmai was a bit disapproving: "The dead soldiers raised by the noble families are just like local dogs in front of our elite soldiers. If they really dare to resist, just destroy them!"
Di Renjie put his hand on his forehead. Why are they all a group of violent maniacs?
Besides, if there were tens of thousands of dead soldiers, it would take more than ten days to chop them with a knife, right?
What's more, how could the Jiangnan nobles just surrender?
Yang Fan laughed, waved his hand and said: "We have already agreed to reconcile with the Jiangnan nobles. As long as they don't take action, how can we break our promises? There is no need to go to war with these wealthy families who are only for profit!"
After hearing this, Di Renjie and Shangguan Yi obviously didn't believe it.
These people are the lifeblood of the scholar family. Is it so easy to spit them out?
If those aristocratic families did not have these people, they would have been manipulated by the emperor at will, and it would not be your turn, Yang Fan, to come to Jiangnan to open up the situation.
Besides, if it was as simple as it was said, wouldn't those officials who came before look too stupid?
Of course, none of them raised any objections.
They wanted to see what means Yang Fan had to make those Jiangnan nobles willingly vomit these people out.
Regarding Di Renjie and Shangguan Yi's suspicions, Yang Fan did not explain, but asked again: "You just said there is another thing, what is it?"
Hearing this, Di Renjie took out a set of drawings from his sleeves and said with a wry smile: "Grand Governor, I have found many craftsmen, but none of them dare to take over this job. You'd better hire someone else. I really have no choice. !”
"That's fine." Yang Fan took it and took a look. He was not embarrassed at all!
This set of drawings is Yang Fan’s plan to build an Oriental Pearl of this time and space in Huating County.
There was no suitable candidate at that time, so I left it to Di Renjie to find someone.
Since the old man Ming Changfeng said that he would bring his tribe to join him.
After all, that guy has a complete heritage and a lot of skilled craftsmen, so he should be brave enough to take over such a design.
You know, this set of drawings was redeemed from the system by Yang Fan at a large cost.
It would be a shame if it really couldn't be built.
