Zhao Ping didn't know what was happening in the capital, so he found Xia Xia to discuss building a house.
"Are you sure you want to build a new house? Do you still want to build it that big?"
Xia Xia was stunned and said, "Didn't you say you won't build a house last time? Why are you building a house now?"
"Village Chief Xia, I plan to go into business."
Zhao Ping said: "The first is to build a brewery. Brewing requires purchasing a large amount of grain."
"If I don't build houses, where will I store the grain I purchased?"
"Where do I store the wine I brewed?"
"Secondly, I have to build a textile factory and recruit textile workers to work. I can't let them sit in the sun every day, right?"
"Finally, I will build another escort agency. There are not so many houses. Where will the escorts live?"
"you you you……"
Xia Xia pointed at Zhao Ping and said in disbelief: "Aren't you doing this nonsense?"
"Do you have the money to build so many factories at once?"
"Shouldn't business be about gradual and slow development?"
"You are building three factories together and building new houses. Can you handle it?"
"Isn't it true that Village Chief Xia is here to help?"
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Whether it's making wine, textiles, or building houses, the first workers I hire must be villagers from our two villages."
"My apprentice is the head of Xiping Village, and the head of Xia Village is also the head of Xia Village. I think there will be no difficulties."
"Besides, I will also pay them wages."
"Building houses and weaving, we are paid three copper coins a day, and we also provide lunch. Every meal is white rice and broth. It's the kind that makes you full."
"As for money, Village Chief Xia doesn't have to worry about it."
"Since I dare to speak out, I will definitely be able to get the money."
"Are you sure you still have enough to eat for three coppers a day?"
Xia Tian was immediately shocked.
You know, Yun'an County is located in a remote area and the living conditions are backward. Ordinary long-term workers only earn one copper plate a day.
Although I can also take care of the rice, it is basically wild vegetable soup with a steamed bun, and some even drink cold water directly.
For part-time workers, it takes two days to earn a copper plate.
Zhao Ping, on the other hand, paid three copper coins directly and took care of the food.
A meal of white rice and broth is simply the way to celebrate the New Year.
The conditions are extremely favorable.
"Pretty sure."
Zhao Ping said: "Everyone involved in the work will sign the agreement."
"These contents will be clearly written in the agreement. If I violate it, you can file a complaint with the county government. Every complaint will be accurate."
"I'll give Liu Zi a thousand taels of silver notes later so you can use them first."
"If you are afraid that I can't pay, you can choose to pay on a daily basis."
"If you finish the work that day, you can get paid that day."
"If you trust me, you can remember the start time first, and then we can settle the settlement together when it is full term."
"We'll come wherever it's convenient for you."
"Okay, okay, okay, after the autumn harvest, I will start to recruit people to build a house for you."
Xia Tian agreed wholeheartedly.
You can earn three copper coins a day. If there are three people working in a family, that's nine copper coins.
That's two hundred and seventy copper coins a month.
After earning it in a year, I have more than three taels of silver.
Coupled with the income from the fields, their village will surely gradually become rich.
At least I no longer have to worry about my livelihood.
After Zhao Ping reached a verbal agreement with Xia Tian, he returned to Xiping Village and began the appointment work.
Appoint Xia Quan as the chief escort of the escort agency.
He is the captain of the Tiger Fighting Team and has high prestige in this area.
If he takes the lead, everyone will be easily convinced.
Wenhui was appointed director of the brewery.
Responsible for all aspects of the brewery.
Liu Mengru is the director of the textile factory and is responsible for all the work of the textile factory.
Qian Liu was appointed as the financial controller.
Responsible for the expenditure and income of all projects and the payment of workers' wages.
This is also due to his miser image.
Only finance that saves money can bring greater value to a company.
Li Hu was appointed as a personal guard.
Responsible for Zhao Ping's safety.
Finally, Gao Meng was appointed captain of thousands again.
"Sir, it's better to say goodbye."
Gao Meng smiled bitterly and said: "There are only a few of us in total. We don't train troops and we don't rebel. I, the commander of a thousand, are just a decoration. I will just be a bodyguard under Quanzi."
"No."
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "You are obviously a bodyguard, but secretly you are my soldier."
"I need you to quietly pull out a team of a thousand people, and all of them must be fat, to form a trap camp."
"You, the commander of thousands, are the battalion commander trapped in the camp."
"Brother Ping, you..."
Just as Xia Quan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Ping, "Quanzi, I know what you are going to say."
"It's nothing more than saying that I want to rebel."
"Actually, I didn't really think about rebellion when I did these things. I just wanted to keep all problems under control."
"After all, I am more afraid of death and don't like unknown dangers."
"Take the plague incident in the past two days. I took precautions in advance, dug up medicinal materials, and boiled soup. Once a real plague breaks out, I can deal with it calmly."
"The same is true for creating a trap camp right now."
"The Dawei Dynasty is constantly fighting, and we don't know when they will attack us."
"If we don't make preparations early, if the enemy soldiers invade, will we all be captured without mercy? I don't want to be a prisoner."
"this……"
Xia Quan was speechless.
Zhao Ping stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Quanzi, just bring your escort, you don't have to worry about anything else."
"I cherish my life very much, and I will never rebel easily or do that kind of thing that would cost people their lives."
"kindness."
Xia Quan nodded.
As a subordinate, he just needs to do his job well and there is no point in worrying about anything else.
"Sir, we are building so many factories at once, don't we have a resounding name?"
Xia Yang asked curiously.
"Haha, the name doesn't have to be loud, just easy to remember."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "I have already found someone to make it. Once the factory is built, we will put it up for business directly."
“The escort agencies and textile factories all carry the Xiping Village brand.”
"Xiping Village Escort Agency, Xiping Village Textile Factory."
"In terms of the winery, there is an additional prefix, called Xipingcun Acacia Wine."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ping cursed himself secretly, "You are so lazy, you are so lazy. You actually named it after the village, for fear that others would not know that Xiping Village is your base."
"I have appointed all the positions, now it's your turn to get busy."
Zhao Ping continued: "When you have free time, you can inquire about the hobbies of the villagers. Make a note of the people you like first. When the factory is built, you must prepare all the manpower for me as soon as possible."
"Let's hurry up to produce and make money."
Everyone nodded and began to think about who to recruit into their team first.
And Zhao Ping went to Xia Cun again.
He didn't go to Xia Zhijia, but to Xia Zhijia.
Xia Zhixue happened to be at home, but when he saw Zhao Ping, he went inside.
"Brother Zhixue, I'm not a tiger. Why are you running so hard when you see me?"
Zhao Ping gave a bitter smile and chased him into the house.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Xia Zhixue blushed and said, "Mr. Zhao, I, I..."
"What happened last time was that I didn't do it well. I didn't..."
"What happened last time is in the past, let's not mention it again."
Zhao Ping put his hand on his shoulder and continued: "We should look forward."
"This plague, you not only used your own money to buy medicinal materials, but also called on the villagers to take the initiative to deliver dry firewood to Xiping Village. It can be said to be a great help."
"So I'm going to give you another chance."
"Are you willing to let you serve as the commander of the reconnaissance battalion?"
"The general will be willing."
Xia Zhixue immediately fell to his knees and cried with joy.
"Get up quickly, I don't want to kneel here."
Zhao Ping helped him up and then explained: "I plan to ask you to help me train fifty-four scouts to form a deck of playing cards."
"What are playing cards?"
"From 1 to K, there are four suits, plus the big king and the small king. There are fifty-four cards in total. Each one represents their identity and strength..."
Zhao Ping explained the poker cards, "You disperse them in Yun'an County, even the county town, and even further away."
"The information you have investigated is reported to me in secret and cannot be made known to outsiders."
"You could possibly do it?"
"able!"
Xia Zhixue reassured.
"Okay, I really didn't misjudge the person."
Zhao Ping said happily, took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Xia Zhixue.
"This is your start-up capital. If it's not enough, ask me for it."
"I have only one request for you. The danger is five miles away from me. I must receive the news. Otherwise, you will never have the chance to follow me."
"You will finally understand."
Xia Zhixue bowed his hands and bowed deeply. No longer hesitating, he said goodbye to Zhao Ping and went to do his own business.
As a time traveler, Zhao Ping knows the importance of news.
Xia Zhixue is not only a veteran, but has also experienced his own beatings. Coupled with his performance in the plague, he is a malleable talent.
That's why Zhao Ping entrusted him with important tasks.
This way you can sit back and relax.
Everything was arranged and Zhao Ping was free.
Start tinkering with his penicillin, sugar soap, etc.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Tianhua quietly arrived in the capital with fifty jars of acacia wine.
