This is really worrying. When Xin Zhi came to Li's house to find Li Yu'an, he conveyed his family's longing for Assorted Crisps.
After Li Ershan returned home, he also asked Li Qiao if he could make some assorted crisps with other foods instead. Fan Yuanyuan loved them.
The second prince had also eaten assorted crisps, and he liked them very much. Therefore, after listening to Li Qiao's suggestion of growing taro and yams, he agreed without saying a word.
Planting these two crops is good, and the people will definitely earn money.
In addition, Li Qiao also plans to open a snack shop in Peng County.
Previously, a scholar proposed to Sheng Hong during the examination that snacks from the north and the south could be circulated to each other. In this way, people in the north and the south could eat snacks they had never seen before, and the local government could rely on them. Make money this way.
Sheng Hong thought this method was wonderful, but local officials in various local government offices had different talents, so their execution abilities were also very different.
Take Peng County, for example. Before Shenghong built the Grand Canal, this small county was ordinary and did not attract attention.
The local magistrate was from the south, so he went to the north when he was taking the imperial examination and asked him to make some northern snacks to make money. This was a bit difficult for him.
Moreover, the magistrate of Peng County has no big ambitions. If the people under his rule are well fed and do not cause trouble, then he is qualified as a magistrate.
The magistrate of Peng County was not interested in doing small business, so Li Qiao planned to take over this business. He had too many snacks in his hand, and he could make a lot of money by just carrying a few of them.
For example, egg-filled pancakes, pancakes with fruit, meat buns, grilled cold noodles, etc. Although the staple food there is rice, there are also people in the south who like pasta. These are popular snacks. Even if the local people in Pengcheng don't like them, then After this section of the canal in Peng County is opened, people from out of town will definitely like to eat these kinds of snacks.
In addition to pasta snacks, he can also make rice and glutinous rice snacks.
You can make rice cakes, rice rolls, rice rolls, etc.
When he opens a store in Peng County, he must use ingredients such as rice and glutinous rice from Peng County, and he must hire local people as waiters.
It can be considered a small boost to the local economy.
The reason why he wanted to open a store there was because he wanted to let his men go over there to explore the situation there.
He saves some manpower, some money, and some food there. If there is any natural or man-made disaster and the local government fails to act, then every person he can save is one person.
The second prince welcomed Li Qiao's decision to open a snack shop in Peng County.
Now Li Qiao was cautious, fearing that his signature recipe would be revealed, so he only dared to send someone over to make some snacks first.
Once Li Qiao gets familiar with the situation there, he might open Li's duck shop, dim sum, hot pot, snacks and other shops there.
If these pillar shops were really put in Peng County, how many jobs would it create?
Hey, I haven't thought about this issue before, but now think about it, opening some famous shops in Peng County can also stimulate the local economy!
By then, Peng County may be like Pingcheng, and all the people in the county will become rich in just a few years.
Although he is not interested in the throne.
But the people of Dasheng are getting rich, which is a good thing, and it is a good thing that he supports very much.
The second prince was very happy and specifically promised Li Qiao that he would send his men to assist Li Qiao to ensure that Li Qiao's shop could be opened safely in Peng County.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Li Qiao was only a third-rank official. When he arrived in Peng County, he was not as good as the second prince.
His people will clear all obstacles for the Li family shop!
Li Qiao was very happy that the second prince was so cooperative. He originally planned to hire elite retired soldiers from Royal Logistics to serve as bodyguards.
Since the second prince will send people there, he should hire less bodyguards.
Time waits for no one. After Li Qiao and the second prince agreed, they immediately asked Li Shu, Li Dashan, Li Ershan and Zhao Shen to ask the clerks in their shops to see who was willing to leave their hometown and go to Peng County.
If he went to Peng County, the benefits would be excellent. Not only would the wages be high, but after a certain period of time, he would go to the government to cancel the deeds of these people and let them regain their freedom.
Of course, in addition to the clerk in the shop, he also had to send a confidant there.
He asked twelve people who were full of losses, modest and benefited, tireless in learning, and unwilling to go on a business trip, and asked them who was willing to go to Peng County for a business trip.
These twelve people were rewarded to him by Sheng Hong. Their identities were able to control the situation, and their skills and minds were good, so they were worthy of his trust.
At least until now, he had not noticed that these twelve people had secretly interacted with Sheng Hong or anyone else.
Ever since Sheng Hong gave these twelve people to him, these twelve people have always been loyal to him.
In this case, he can be entrusted with important tasks.
On the evening of the first day, Li Shu, Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Zhao Shen, and Li Xiaoshan returned home and reported the current registration situation to Li Qiao.
At the dinner table, these people asked the same question: "Uncle, everyone is very concerned about one issue, that is, after the contract is terminated, will the connection with our Li Mansion be weakened? Will you still be there in the future? Protect them?"
"Huh?" Li Qiao was surprised when he heard this: "Even if the contract is cancelled, they are still members of our Li family. I will naturally protect them in the Li family's shop."
"That's good."
Li Dashan immediately laughed: "The outsiders hired by Uncle Zhu have never been exposed to our core secret recipe and are doing side jobs. Therefore, our employees are worried that they will be treated as such by us after their contracts are terminated." outsider."
Compared with being treated as an outsider by Li Qiao, it is better to be a servant of Li Mansion.
The people in the Li Mansion are so kind. As long as they work diligently, they will have no worries for the rest of their lives.
There is nothing wrong with it except that it will affect the children.
"How could this happen? If our shop is really prosperous in Peng County, it will be a meritorious service for us. I will definitely treat our family's meritorious officials well."
"You guys will tell them tomorrow that if they put up our brand in Peng County, not only will the wages be high, but I will also give them extra bonuses. Even if they get old, sick, and can no longer work in the future, then This bonus will always be there, and I will give it to them until they die."
"I give them a lifetime guarantee."
"As for the amount of the bonus, it depends on their performance, but the minimum is 500 yuan per month."
Li Qiao slowly spoke out the idea that he had conceived for some time but had never implemented.
There is no concept of pension insurance here. If he really does this, will it cause public outrage?
Would others think his Holy Father was weird?
Does he need to do this?
His own workers have good wages, receive red envelopes at the end of the year, and eat and drink well on weekdays. As long as they don't spend too much money, they can save a lot of money.
In this case, is it necessary for him to introduce a pension policy?
However, since his clerk is worried now, he will first test it on this group of people heading to Peng County.
His proposal was so novel that everyone at the dinner table looked over.
"Always give bonuses?" Li Liang frowned so hard that he could kill a fly: "How much money should I give?"
"They all went to Peng County to take charge of the family. To put it bluntly, if they are not loyal enough to you, they can save a lot of money in their hands." Wang Guihua also said.
The couple had suffered a lot in their lives, had seen the evil of human nature, and valued their own things very much. Therefore, they felt very sorry for Qinzi at the moment.
Can you get money for nothing even if you don’t work?
Daydreaming is a good thing!
Li Shu has always supported Li Qiao unconditionally. Although she also felt that her younger brother was too generous, she did not speak.
The juniors were fine. Although they were surprised, Li Qiao had always been generous and they were used to it.
Li Dashan did the math and then said: "Father, mother, there are only twenty people going to Peng County at most. Each person is worth five hundred coins a month, and those twenty people are ten taels of silver a month."
"Even if it's doubled, it's only twenty taels."
"If we really build a big stall in Peng County, then giving us this money is nothing."
"That's right, brother and sister-in-law, if they have really contributed to our family, then we must treat them favorably."
"Other guys will definitely work harder after seeing it."
Li Qiao smiled and spoke.
As he spoke, he looked around at his family members at the dinner table, and then added: "Also, our Li family's property was acquired through the hard work of everyone. From now on, everyone who works in our family will , I also give bonuses every month.”
"We are all heroes of the Li family and deserve this bonus."
The Li family here are not only his family members, but also his employees. These people must also have this pension.
His words were so sudden that everyone at the table was shocked: "Huh?"
"ha?"
"Um……"
Wang Guihua immediately put down the chopsticks in her hand and emphasized with a serious face: "Li Qiao, your eldest brother and I feel sorry for the silver. We are not asking you for the silver. Everyone in our family here has saved tens of thousands of taels of silver. Already?"
"Everyone is not short of money, you don't have to give it."
"That's right, even if you get old and can no longer work in the future, you will still have money in your hands." Li Shu also said.
"I won't give more. At present, it's only 500 yuan per person." Li Qiao said.
"No one is short of these five hundred coins, so you don't have to give them." Li Liang also said.
As for the juniors, they all shook their heads.
Li Qiao was so generous to them that apart from the Sheng family, there was no third family in Dasheng.
Now that they are all rich, they don't want this bonus, and they don't lack it.
Everyone was strongly opposed, unprecedented opposition, so for the first time in ten years, Li Qiao failed to give out the money he wanted to give.
However, being distracted by his proposal, Li Liang Wang Guihua no longer cared about the bonus.
Forget it, everyone in the world knows that Li Qiao is generous and they will not be such a bad person.
Li Qiao's life-long bonus scheme has aroused great attention in Li's shop, and some people who originally didn't want to go south are now a little tempted.
After restoring their civilian status, their children can take the scientific examination, and they can also receive a monthly bonus of at least 500 yuan until they die. What a great thing.
Although their wages are good, and Mr. Li also provides food and accommodation, who would think that he has too much money?
Many of them have family members, and even if some of them have lost contact with their families, they will definitely get married in the future. After getting married and having children, the cost may be high.
Originally only one-fifth of the people wanted to sign up, but as soon as Li Qiao's new policy came out, two-thirds of the people wanted to sign up and go to Peng County to earn a new life.
Li Qiao screened and finally selected 18 people, plus Li Sun and Li Shou. This 20-person team, at the end of the third lunar month, together with the second prince's people and 20 people from the royal logistics Together they set off for Peng County.
In April, the weather finally warmed up.
It finally fell, the first rain since last year’s autumn snow.
The rain was not heavy, but it rained continuously for a whole day, barely watering the crops thoroughly.
Farmers who have been busy with irrigation since the Chinese New Year can finally take a breath.
