More than 2,200 non-registered households have been bought by Li Ke. There are not many high-quality products like Li Changge, and there are only twenty-two people in total. These people are prepared by Yahang for various wealthy and powerful families. "plaything".
Li Ke asked them one by one. They were all top choices in terms of figure and appearance. There were also many who were only in their early teens and would never start in the future. But in this era... Li Ke sighed. After all, in history , if it weren’t for Li Ke, even Li Shimin’s princess was married at the age of ten, who could say anything?
Historically, it was Qinghe who got married at the age of ten and married Cheng Huailiang. Coming here, Li Ke actually understood why the ages of many princesses and princes in history books conflicted. It was still due to the recording habits of the ancients, and there was no unified standard.
It was the custom of the Tang Dynasty that in some important occasions, people were recorded according to their age, but in some non-important events, they were recorded directly as their age. Sometimes there was a difference of two years between the two.
For example, a person born in early December of the eighth year of Zhenguan will not be considered one year old until December of the ninth year of Zhenguan. But this is how the virtual age is calculated. Once you are born, you will be one year old. For example, if you are born in December, you will be one year old after birth. After the New Year is less than one month old, the child will be two years old.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, in his previous life, Li Ke used to count his years as a child. Anyway, many old people have this habit.
Moreover, these carefully selected women are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and have been trained by Ya Xing. They are also proficient in the skills of serving men. Although Li Ke has not asked about this aspect, he has also understood that the real meaning in Jin Ping Mei is It’s not an exaggeration, modern people may not play like the ancients.
In addition to these, there are less than three hundred craftsmen, and the rest are ordinary coolies and some five or six-year-old children sold to the dental industry.
According to Li Ke's regulations, all the information of these people was registered, and the contract situation was explained to them. Without exception, they all agreed with gratitude, and many people knelt down on the spot.
Everyone signed the contract, and Li Ke provided them with monthly money based on the market salary, and deducted 50% of the debt to Li Ke every month, and they had to pay an additional 20% of the contract debt to Li Ke, except In addition, Li Ke also provided them with food and accommodation.
For children who can inquire about their parents, someone will contact their parents. For children who cannot contact their parents, or whose parents are both deceased, they will be placed in the previous group of beggars.
There is no problem in arranging these people. In addition, Li Ke also personally went to the place where the people are most concentrated to announce one thing in public, that is, with the current standard salary around Chang'an City, which is five times the previous salary, recruitment and renovation of Chang'an City workers!
When the news spread, all the people were shocked! There was something unusual about the monthly money in Chang'an City a few days ago. Everyone knew it. Although the popular people in the small-character posters like "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" didn't say anything, some unknown people analyzed it. These are all It's a conspiracy of a wealthy family.
Because the monthly money was raised first by the factories of the wealthy family, and everyone knew about His Highness the King of Shu's renovation of Chang'an City. As we all know, His Highness the King of Shu did not have enough money to renovate Chang'an City. This move by the other party was not intentional. Is His Royal Highness the King of Shu looking for trouble?
But they didn't expect that His Highness the King of Shu would really increase his monthly salary to five times his salary!
"Your Highness! You have sacrificed so much for our people. Although I, Wang Da, have never read a book and don't understand any big principles, I have a lot of strength. I will help you with your work tomorrow. I don't want the previous five years. Double the monthly payment, just the original monthly payment!" A strong man in the crowd said loudly.
"Your Highness, I am the same! Tomorrow I will help you work according to the original monthly payment!"
"Your Highness and I!"
"And I!"
"Your Highness, my health is weak and I can't do heavy work. I have nothing to do at home. I'll come and help you tomorrow for free!"
The people watching spoke loudly one by one, and even continued to spread into the distance. Among the tens of thousands of people watching at the scene, the voices of "and me" became one.
Li Ke silently looked at these people, most of whom were thin and wearing ordinary linen clothes. They had no culture and did not understand any big principles, but it was these ordinary people who supported the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire China. Civilization has supported the entire history of China for thousands of years!
Among these people, there was no one arranged by Li Ke, and he didn't bother to do this. Li Ke could afford to give the money to the people. However, the actions of these people made Li Ke feel inexplicably moved. Through the ages and thousands of years of history, the simplicity of this group of people has never changed, whether now or a thousand years later.
Li Ke didn't say anything, but silently bowed his hands and bent down to salute! After the people below saw Li Ke's actions, they didn't know why. Many people were so excited that they wanted to cry. They also imitated Li Ke's behavior and saluted Li Ke.
In this way, with Li Ke as the center, people in circles bent down, spreading in all directions like ripples in water.
Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and others standing behind Li Ke looked excited. This is His Highness the King of Shu!
"Everyone!" After a long time, Li Ke stood up straight and said loudly. Following Li Ke's words, all the people also stood up straight.
"I, Li Ke, thank you for your trust, but this is the law of the market, so I, Li Ke, cannot let everyone work in vain. The renovation of Chang'an City is for Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the thousands of people living in Chang'an. So as long as everyone works more seriously and the monthly salary is higher, Your Majesty will be happy! I, Li Ke, am also happy! Because if you are rich, it means that the Tang Dynasty is rich, and it means that the country is rich!"
"So you can take the monthly money with confidence. As long as you work hard, it is the greatest support for me. I am here to thank you all!" Li Ke saluted everyone again with clasped fists.
Li Ke didn't say much more, there was no need! The reaction of these people has already explained the problem, so there is no need to say more about the rest.
Li Ke left here, and in the crowd, the girl Jue'er, who saw His Royal Highness the King of Shu, also returned to the carriage as he wished.
"Auntie, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really a dragon and a phoenix among men!" Juier couldn't help but admired.
"That's right, that's the prince." The woman said with a smile.
"Tch, why don't the other princes come out?" Jue'er curled her lips in disdain.
"Wu Jue!" The woman was startled and said sternly.
"Auntie, I was wrong. I'm not at my own home. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense outside." Wu Jue said with a smile.
