"Of course!" Li Zhao nodded slightly.
"Then... how much money do we need to invest?"
"This depends on your personal wishes." Li Zhao said: "If you invest more, then the profits you will get in the future will naturally be more. On the contrary, if you invest less, you will get less."
"If you have this idea, you can come to me after today's meeting, or anytime in the future."
"yes!"
Many people were moved.
They still have some money in their hands, especially the craftsmen who received very generous rewards.
Li Zhao does have a lot of business here, but he can't do it all by himself.
He now wants to stimulate the villagers' consciousness. Since they have developed the habit of spending money, he must stimulate more people to earn more money.
Previous rewards are a good example.
Many villagers' eyes turned red after seeing so many year-end bonuses. They know that year-end bonuses also depend on contribution and merit.
Everyone has a chance, and everyone has a goal in their heart.
The prince will not be stingy or skimpy, so why not work hard to earn more?
"Let's continue!"
"Will you be the prisoner?"
"exist!"
Last year, Kyoto had already promised that Jiaozhou could have generals as prison guards, which saved a lot of trouble.
The general supervision is directly dispatched and managed by Li Zhao, and the personnel are also arranged from Kyoto, mainly because Li Zhao does not have experienced people here.
"First, tools are mainly used for work. From now on, they will be forged by general supervisors, while farm tools will be forged by the iron workshop."
"Second, recruit disciples. I will select a group of children to pass on your skills. In addition, your wages as supervisors will be calculated separately, and they will be higher than those in Kyoto!"
"any questions?"
Li Zhao looked at the worker who would be the supervisor.
Their skills are currently at the pinnacle of the Wu Kingdom, and they are definitely several levels higher than those trained by Li Zhao himself.
"Your Majesty." Dai Yun, the young eunuch in charge of the general supervision, stood up and said: "We also hope that our skills will be passed down, but we do not want your Majesty to interfere with our selection of disciples."
In any industry, the inheritance of skills is a top priority.
Dai Yun and his group were arranged to go to Jiaozhou, but they already understood that if there was no accident, they would never be able to go back in this life.
From now on, their life, death, honor and disgrace will be tied to His Highness Prince You.
Before this, they were reluctant.
But after arriving here, they discovered that King You was not as domineering and unbearable as rumored.
Here, they gained unprecedented respect.
Every craftsman here is respectful to them.
Maybe there are some shortcomings in skills, but people are honest people and not showy.
Whenever King You releases a new task, they work overtime to complete it without any complaints.
This is the living and working environment Dai Yun wants. There is no way he can work wholeheartedly like this in Kyoto.
Based on this, Dai Yun still respected Li Zhao very much.
But when it comes to the inheritance of craftsmanship, they don't want to be interfered with too much.
Li Zhao smiled when he heard this and said: "I will not interfere with who you choose as your apprentice. It all depends on their own destiny. I only have one request, and that is that the person you choose as your apprentice must be someone I send."
When giving out year-end bonuses last year, Li Zhao once said that even children are useful and they have great uses.
It is when young people are most active in thinking and have the strongest learning ability. Li Zhao cannot leave these good ideas unused.
What's more, Li Zhao needs to plan for the future and cannot just focus on the present.
At the moment, he may not need many people, but once it is fully developed, the number of talents will be somewhat insufficient.
It’s not that Li Zhao is petty. In this era, individuals will be labeled, unlike in the future era.
Therefore, if Li Zhao can cultivate his own people, he will definitely cultivate his own people first.
Hearing what Li Zhao said, Dai Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the prisoner to say: "I will obey the prince's instructions!"
Li Zhao also breathed a long sigh of relief after the supervisory matter was resolved.
"Yang Daqiang."
"exist!"
"Do you still remember the mission assigned to you last year?"
"Remember!"
"Last year's pigs were raised well. We will try to raise more this year. Then everyone will be able to share more during the Chinese New Year."
"Yes!" Yang Daqiang and the villagers became excited.
This year has been a good year in a real sense.
Especially when they see their family members eating meat, their happiness cannot be expressed in words.
"Liu Sanniu!"
"exist!"
"Do you remember the mission of raising cattle?"
"Remember!"
"Come on, come on, I've prepared money, it's up to you how much you can take."
"yes!"
Li Zhao called people out one after another. These people all shouldered very important tasks.
Like a pep rally, everyone feels involved.
"Next, everyone will start working according to the latest assigned tasks." Li Zhao roared: "Long Jia'an, Li Dongqiang, Liu Mazi, Wu Tianqiang and Zhao Dahai are staying."
The crowd began to disperse, getting ready to start the new year's work.
The village chiefs of the five major villages affiliated to Li Zhao have gathered together.
They knew this time the main mission was coming.
"We have to continue to recruit people. It is best to choose from the surrounding villages!" Li Zhaodao: "Whether it is the construction of reservoirs, dams, rivers, or ditches, they are all major projects. If they are completed within half a year, it will be a miracle."
"Your Majesty." Liu Mazi asked, "Then... can the person who betrayed you before use it?"
"No need!" Li Zhao shook his head resolutely and said, "Since he has betrayed, why use him? There are so many villages around here, why are you afraid that there will be no one there?"
Mazi Liu also nodded and stopped asking such stupid questions.
"I'll give you one day to recruit people." Li Zhao said: "Long Jia'an, help me inform the mayor of Longyang Township and the magistrate of Qingyun County, and ask them to come over with their subordinates. "
"Your Majesty, do you want them all to participate in this big project together?" Long Jiaan immediately understood what Li Zhao meant.
Although it is said that this year may be a bad year, it is just a speculation.
But Long Jiaan also understood that Li Zhao wanted everyone to take it seriously.
But would anyone really be willing to participate in something like this that hasn’t happened yet?
Long Jia'an was worried, maybe there wouldn't be many people coming here.
After Long Jiaan and others left, Li Zhao immediately waved to Li Bin: "Go and notify the county magistrates of the nine major counties in Hailong County, and then ask the county magistrates to notify the villages below them. I will They have five days to get here!”
"yes!"
