Two days later, the fifth place winner returned from successfully exchanging silver with Champion Jiang.
There were five wooden boxes on the carriage, four of which were filled with white silver ingots. The other box was filled with broken silver and copper coins, otherwise the people would not be able to pay when they exchanged the silver.
The freed civilians were full of energy. Although it was winter, many people were shirtless and working enthusiastically.
After five or six days of construction, the road to the west of Chang'an Town has been paved for more than ten miles, and the road to the east has been built for six or seven miles.
What surprised Chang'an Town was that the "immortal mud" given by Tianzun only took half a day to solidify and became as solid as a rock. It did not deform under foot and was not muddy when splashed with water. It was even smoother and smoother than a road paved with bluestone.
The fifth person's carriage bypassed the road section under construction and drove onto the solidified cement road.
More than half of the strong bumps disappeared in an instant, and I felt comfortable lying in the carriage, and could even take a nap.
The fifth person was full of praise: "Tsk tsk... The fairy mud given by Tianzun is really amazing. If it can be spread all the way to Guilin, I'm afraid it won't be possible to arrive in a day or two."
Compared with the comfortable and comfortable carriage, the horses seemed a little uncomfortable. Their soles stepped on the hard cement road, which was far less comfortable than stepping on the soil.
Minzhuang, who was building roads along the way, kept waving and saying hello.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Jiang. Welcome home!"
"Fifth Master, you are finally back. How much money did you get back from this trip to Guilin? Minzhuang in our town owes Yihongyuan more than 200 taels of silver. If you don't come back, the town will not have enough white paper to write the IOU. ”
"Write an IOU?"
The fifth man was so confused that he caught a platoon leader who was building a road and asked, "Old Sun, what is the IOU they are talking about?"
Platoon Leader Sun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's what happened. So many brothels came to the town all of a sudden, and the brothers were so greedy that they couldn't sleep. But many people didn't have money to go whoring. So the madam asked the brothers to write IOUs, and then go to Yihongyuan to pay off the debts after they got the money."
"Hey... Ye Sanniang is really a genius. Writing IOUs for prostitutes is considered the first in the world!"
The fifth man put his head back into the carriage and led the team straight back to Chang'an Town.
Seeing the fifth place return, Ye Sanniang, who had been watching at the door, ran to the middle of the road and stopped the carriage: "Oh... the fifth brother is back. You made my sister think so hard."
"I think you want the money in the carriage, right?"
The fifth person laughed and jumped off the carriage, stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of oil on Ye Sanniang's body.
"Sister misses the money and misses you too."
Ye Sanniang couldn't wait to get into the carriage to check, "The stinky man in your town already owes our Yihongyuan more than two hundred taels of silver. Can I not be anxious?"
"I heard that your Yihongyuan has only been open for three or four days and has already made more than two hundred taels of silver?"
The fifth person shook his folding fan and was surprised, "Based on one hundred taels of silver per day, he can earn thirty thousand taels of silver a year, tsk tsk... is that made of gold?"
Ye Sanniang explained: "Of course it's not made of gold, but some stinky men can't bear the hunger and thirsty, so they have to have several girls in one night. Ruyue, who has the best business, has to receive thirty clients a day, and can earn ten dollars a day. Five or six taels.”
"Damn it, my salary is only five taels of silver a month. I should have known that I would partner with you."
The fifth man cursed and got into the carriage, ordering the driver to drive to the warehouse.
Ye Sanniang's face was full of impatience: "Fifth brother, why don't you settle my sister's two hundred taels of silver first?"
"Go on, since when do I owe you money?"
The fifth person immediately sneered, "Wouldn't it be confusing if I gave you the money directly? You ask whoever wrote the IOU. Let them go to the warehouse to exchange their work points for silver, and then come back to your Yihongyuan to pay off the debt."
When he learned that the fifth and champion Jiang had returned, Zhu Renxia, who was sitting in the meeting hall, came out to greet him: "Haha... Third uncle and fifth brother, you have worked hard along the way."
"It's not hard work. It's not as hard as the brothers in Chang'an Town. They actually went to prostitutes on credit. They are all fucking geniuses." The fifth place complained and got out of the car.
Zhu Renxia ordered Xu Le to escort the silver to the warehouse, and all five thousand taels of silver were handed over to the Warehouse Bureau for safekeeping. From today on, the option of exchanging work points for silver will be open to residents of the town.
Because we are still in the exploratory period, we have tentatively decided to exchange one work point for one hundred cents.
In other words, if a Minzhuang works perfectly, he can earn three taels of silver in a month. This income is astronomical. You must know that the yamen servants who work in the county government only earn about one and a half taels of silver every month.
The Qi family army, which was suppressed by the imperial court because of the issue of military pay, only received about three taels per month for each of its top soldiers.
Now, if an ordinary resident of Chang'an Town is not lazy and works every day, he can earn three taels of silver a month. This kind of income is the only one in the world.
In the evening, the people ended their hard day.
The first thing most people do after entering the city is to go to the warehouse to exchange money, but within one meal, there is a long queue in front of the warehouse.
Afraid that Li Xiang'er, the acting director of the Warehouse Bureau, had miscalculated the accounts, town committee member Zhao Yun brought Chen Huang to help, lighting bright candles and exchanging money for the people throughout the night.
"Li Ziqing has accumulated thirty-one work points, which can be exchanged for three liang of silver."
"Jiang Kun's accumulated work points are thirty-five, which can be exchanged for three taels and five cents in silver."
"Yao Erhei has accumulated thirty-two work points. He will temporarily exchange them for twenty taels of silver, leaving twelve work points remaining."
"Jiang Guangming has accumulated sixteen work points..."
Since the reform of Chang'an Town, everyone has counted their work points at the same time, so most people's work points are between thirty and thirty-five, but Jiang Guangming only has sixteen, which immediately made him unhappy.
"Fuck you, why do I only get sixteen work points?"
Jiang Guangming, who was obese and had a fat face, took advantage of the fact that he was born and raised in Jiangjia Village. He went berserk on the spot and uttered obscenities.
Li Xiang'er looked innocent: "I don't know, Brother Xiao Ming, the town committee's statistics book only has sixteen work points."
"Bah... Li Xiang'er, we are still neighbors, but you actually tricked me like this?"
Jiang Guangming refused to give up, put his hands on his hips and yelled, "Don't sit in there and act like a dog, come out and speak clearly to me, how come everyone else has more than 30 work points, and I only have 16?"
Did I peek at you taking a shower, or did I peek at you taking a poop? I've been your neighbor for more than ten years, and you just don't take care of me, but you actually deduct my work points? "
"I don't."
Tears suddenly burst into Li Xiang'er's eyes, "I don't count the work points. You only have sixteen work points in the statistics book. I can't conjure them up for you out of thin air, right?"
"Come out!"
Jiang Guangming slapped the table and roared, almost dragging her out of the warehouse, "Come with me and ask your parents, what's the point of bullying your neighbors?"
"What's your name?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help it any longer, "The work points are calculated by our town committee. What kind of skills do you have in making trouble for a little girl?"
"Oh...did you stand up on your own?"
Jiang Guangming saw that Zhao Yun was half a head taller than him, with long arms and legs. He thought that he would not be able to take advantage, so he did not dare to take action, but instead made noises to the residents of Jiangjia Village around him.
"Brothers and gentlemen, everyone has judged us. Outsiders came to our Jiangjia Village to make decisions without telling us, but they deducted our work points. How come Li Ziqing and Yao Erhei both have more than 30 work points, but I only have 16?"
Zhao Yun said angrily: "Although the work points are calculated by our town committee, they are reported by your company commander. If you think the statistics are wrong, you can check with your company commander first, and then ask him to ask me to make changes and corrections. You are here How is it appropriate to make such noise and noise here?"
"I don't care, so I'm just looking for you?"
Jiang Guangming sat down on the table, folded his arms in front of his chest and acted rogue.
The surrounding civilians couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them one after another: "If you think the statistics are wrong, go to your company commander or platoon commander to verify it. How can we exchange money with you making such a noise here?"
Jiang Guangming's nostrils turned upward with disdain on his face: "I am a native of Jiangjia Village, I don't care. If I don't exchange it for thirty work points today, no one will be able to get the money smoothly!"
