In contrast, the people on the opposite side were a little downcast! But they were not willing to lose in vain, so someone asked directly: "Manager Wang, I wonder if we can still compete tomorrow?"
Wang Zhengguo said loudly: "Don't worry, the method of comparing construction between the two teams will continue to be used in the future, and the scale will be expanded to the entire salt field! But you don't need to worry about this now, now we will give a reward to the first place!"
After hearing Wang Zhengguo's words, everyone looked at the ten people standing at the front with envy! And these ten people all stood out with their chests and belly raised, looking proud of themselves!
Li Fa took out a small money bag from his arms and handed it to Wang Zhengguo, saying: "Today's reward is here. You have to advance the reward to the account in advance. Eunuch Zhang has already said hello to the accountant."
Wang Zhengguo nodded to express his understanding, and then took the money bag with both hands. Then he turned around and called the ten people forward, and said loudly: "You earned this money by your own skills. Congratulations!"
The elected team leader smiled so hard that he stepped forward to take the money bag, bowed repeatedly to Wang Zhengguo, and then divided the rewards equally in front of everyone!
Although each person only received five cents, the other peasants were jealous when they saw the jingling copper coins in their hands! Everyone secretly made up their mind to work harder and try to earn some reward money when work starts!
A more interesting scene happened during dinner time, when 100 of them openly took away an extra portion of meat in front of many people, which caused great dissatisfaction among the people!
As the saying goes, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality! Watching other people eat meat but not having it in your bowl is naturally very upsetting! So someone immediately pointed this out and asked for an explanation from above. And the staff at all levels who had received the notice a long time ago explained the matter of the competition between the two teams vividly! And it also focused on describing the reward for first place!
Now these civilian husbands no longer work, and strongly demand that they also implement this treatment! Isn't it just work? Who doesn't have a lot of strength? Not only can I have a piece of meat to eat every day, but I might also be able to earn some more copper coins. Isn’t this a wonderful thing?
The stewards told them that they should consult their superiors about this matter and asked them to wait carefully. And I will give everyone a day off tomorrow, and I will reply the day after tomorrow.
The reason for this arrangement was that after Zhang Zhi discovered this wonderful way to stimulate work enthusiasm, he naturally had to readjust the progress of the project. According to their calculations, based on the performance of these 200 people, the project can be completed a full month and a half ahead of schedule! The most time-consuming part is waiting for the cement to set!
People like Zhang Zhi have experienced too many people's calculations in the palace, and they are extremely clear about people's hearts! And Wang Zhengguo's idea just opened the veil before their eyes and opened their minds! Once you open up your mind, all kinds of clever ideas will naturally emerge in endlessly!
After a whole day of recalculations the next day, a new plan was quickly laid out and put into effect. In order to have meat to eat and copper coins to collect, nearly 10,000 civilians fought bravely one by one and worked with all their strength! The chants on the construction site kept coming and going, like a battlefield!
Liu Haojia and Zhang Zhi, who were standing high up, were naturally very happy to see this situation! Zhang Zhi is happy because the progress of the project has been advanced and it also proves their ability! Liu Haojia is happy that more people have opened their minds and broadened their horizons! In this way, more and more people will be able to do good things in the future!
After restarting work, Wang Zhenguo was promoted to a higher level as he wished and became the youngest among all the managers! It is traditional Chinese culture that chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, so his two brothers each also took a small stewardship position!
The two of them were naturally very happy that they no longer had to contribute! In particular, Wang Er asked Wang Zhengguo to name him Wang Zhengxin and seriously learn writing and arithmetic from him. Only Wang Da was still thinking about his family's land and made up his mind to return to his hometown to farm during the autumn harvest. And he asked his two younger brothers to save all their wages and plan to buy a few acres of land when they returned to their hometown! As for other migrant workers, especially those who went out to avoid the lack of employment, they also earned a lot of wages while having a good time!
Not to mention anything else, in the past few years, just
In Tianjin and its surrounding areas, whether businessmen, ordinary citizens or farmers have made a fortune! Needless to say, businessmen, but ordinary people have more job opportunities and higher salaries! Farmers grow vegetables, raise livestock, and even cut grass to sell for money. They now make more money in one year than they did in the past five years!
And now the population in Tianjin and its surrounding areas is obviously not enough, so they have to start absorbing manpower from further away! Since Tianjin is the only place where Ming Dynasty can legally open the sea, there are many places to employ people here! Be smart and talkative and become a buddy. Those who are dumber should work harder! In this way, all the labor force in Tianjin and its surrounding areas will be absorbed!
In addition, this place communicates with overseas and has a large shipment volume, so under the huge transaction, all the goods in the processing workshops are sold out! Every workshop has to recruit more employees! Even the number of caravans transporting goods has increased a lot, which requires a huge population to support!
In addition, Liu Haojia's expansion of the navy and Wu'an army absorbed a large number of young people, which required more labor to fill the vacancies. Especially when the salt farm was built, it directly attracted thousands of laborers!
Now it can be said that there are nearly 60,000 people working directly for Liu Haojia. Hundreds of thousands of people work for him indirectly! These newly added positions have absorbed a large number of idle labor and even refugees!
In other words, he directly found jobs for tens of thousands of people, which meant that there were tens of thousands fewer refugees! And without these people, not only the number of refugees has been greatly reduced, but the remaining refugees have also been given the opportunity to work part-time more easily. Even because there are fewer people begging, those people have more surplus food to distribute to them.
So in recent years, especially this year, the north of Ming Dynasty has been extremely peaceful! Even when small-scale natural disasters continue to occur, it still maintains a rare calm!
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the princes in the court. They who have been in charge of governing the country for a long time can tell the clues just from the reports from various places! And they are very clear about the reasons, but they just don’t say it!
Not only did they not say anything, but they trumpeted their achievements to the court. After all, the Holy Emperor is on the throne, there are cabinet ministers in the middle who are able to govern the country well, and the officials at all levels below are all capable ministers and officials. This is how the Ming Dynasty is flourishing!
