The next day, Zhang Yuegang came to the county government office.

Someone came to see him with a post.

When he opened it, Zhang Yue smiled: "Hurry and please..."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly was taken to Zhang Yue.

"Liar Yuan An, please ask Jun'an..." The man bowed to Zhang Yue and bowed respectfully: "I wish you a long blessing..."

The visitor was the close retainer of the Yuan Chang family, a cheap disciple of Zhang Yue, who was appointed by Yuan Guangguo as the head of Xinfeng Workshop.

During the period when Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, the Yuan family took the lead in increasing investments of millions of yuan in Xinfeng Workshop Garden, doubled the scale of the industry.

Under its leadership, other wealthy businessmen have increased their investment amount in Xinfeng.

Zhang Yue has learned about these situations through Sang Jun's ritual.

At present, the number of workshops in Xinfeng Workshop Garden has reached dozens.

Among them, there are more than 30 large-scale handicraft workshops that employ more than 100 workers!

A large-scale handicraft base with thousands of workers was formed in Xinfeng County at once.

Due to Zhang Yue's commitment to reduce and exempt trade taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, these workshops may not be able to benefit Xinfeng Finance for the time being.

but……

The benefits have been clearly revealed.

The most intuitive impact is employment!

Although, most of these workshops were moved from other places, including craftsmen and supervisors.

However……

It's about recruiting people anyway.

As long as people are recruited, they will be given priority to recruit locally from Xinfeng.

As a result, the problem of son-in-law and ranger who had been troubled by Xinfeng's county magistrates for countless years was solved.

A large number of Yu Zi and bankrupt farmers entered the workshop and engaged in handicrafts.

Even the rangers who often wander in the pavilion now have basically made stable business.

Although these people are used to being lazy and greedy and lazy.

Can no longer be a qualified handicraft worker.

But it is qualified to show the door to the workshop owners, be a tycoon, or even serve as a guard.

As a result, Xinfeng's social order and public security improved suddenly.

Although Zhang Yue, in Xinfeng and Zhang Yue, who did not learn the Legalists, used any serious punishments and often implicated them.

But there were also those who once appeared under the rule of other Legal predecessors and those who did not close their doors at night.

This makes many people feel a little confused and confused.

But in Zhang Yue's opinion, this is a good understanding.

Employment is a good medicine to solve all social problems.

The fundamental reason for the chaos in public security is that the employment rate is not high, and the people have no way to make a living, so they can only rob and even kill and rob.

If you have a stable job, you can live a stable life with your hands.

Who would do something about being stung by someone on the back or even losing his head?

For the people of the Xia Dynasty, it is an eternal pursuit for wives and children to get tired of each other.

Mencius said many years ago that those who have constant property have perseverance!

And this incident also made Zhang Yue and the entire Xinfeng taste the sweetness.

Even the students of the Taishou have changed their attitude towards the Workshop Garden from the past to the neutrality and even friendly attitude of the present.

The social status of a large merchant like Yuan An has also been greatly improved in Xinfeng.

At least, he can now openly enter and exit the government office.

This also made him very useful.

But in front of Zhang Yue, Yuan An was still as obedient as a slave. He lowered his head and said, "The day before yesterday, you asked my young master to contact the 'strong people' of the Southwest Yizhong..."

"Now, my lord has contacted a reliable 'strong' southwestern barbarian figure. I wonder if you want to see him?"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Please recommend it..."

Xinfeng’s workshop garden has now begun to take shape, and it can even be said to have taken off.

But there is another problem, Zhang Yue needs to solve the cheap labor!

Although the labor force of the Han Dynasty is already very cheap now.

All newly recruited workers in the workshop garden have signed the so-called "apprentice contract".

Generally, the contract has a three-year "apprenticeship period".

During the apprenticeship, the workshop owner only needs to meet the apprentice’s two meals a day, give clothes for four seasons, and then pay the apprentice a symbolic salary of 100 yuan a month.

And for these apprentices, the workshop owners can do almost every way to squeeze.

Letting them be a cow or a horse can make these people very grateful and even think they are great charity!

After all, for Yuzi, it is simply a natural sound to have someone to take care of two meals a day, give them a place to stay, and to learn skills and even have wages!

But the apprenticeship period will always expire.

The handicrafts of the Han family attach great importance to technology.

The salary of a skilled expert is not low!

Even if he is just an ordinary craftsman, his salary is more than 1,000 yuan per month. He has to arrange a house for him, and even a girl for him!

During festivals, you have to give a big red envelope.

Otherwise, people can vote with their feet.

People with skilled skills can have food to eat no matter where they go!

Therefore, this brings about a problem of how to minimize production costs?

If it is in other places, it will be easy to solve, so it is slavery!

Leave all the heavy, boring and technical work to the slaves.

Anyway, slaves have no human rights.

But in Xinfeng, especially in the workshop garden, Zhang Yue explicitly prohibited the use of slaves.

Once someone is found to use slave labor, he will directly confiscate the slave!

Secondly, there may be many murderous projects in Xinfeng or the future Xinfeng economic circle.

For example, cement calcination, iron smelting stove, etc.

In the former, in this era, there are not enough labor protection tools, especially masks.

Zhang Yue estimated that a cement calcinerator only had about three years of working life.

Three years later, pneumoconiosis can kill him directly!

The iron smelting blast furnace of the iron smelting industry is even more deadly!

It's simply a deadly madman!

If you accidentally turn into molten iron like Gan Jiang Moye.

Even if you are very careful, various accidents may occur, resulting in various disabilities.

Not to mention the other side, the disability rate of salt boilers working in Lantian Yanchi Factory not far from Xinfeng is amazingly high!

So, Zhang Yue had to ask for help from outside.

In fact, the best way is to get to the Qiang people in border counties such as Tianshui and Wuwei.

As long as you take the path of the local Hu cavalry in Huangshui, you will not worry about the source of cheap labor.

But now, Zhang Yue does not have the conditions to talk to the Hu cavalry of Huangshui. At least next year, when Fan Mingyou brings back the descendants of Ji Gugu.

Maybe there is a chance to open up this path.

But it doesn’t matter, except for the Qiang people in Lingju, Tianshui and Wuwei areas.

Zhang Yue can also ask for help from the southwest region.

Today, the southwest mountains can be said to be blooming with hundreds of flowers and demons dancing around.

There are countries like Yelang and Dian Kingdom that began to be Chinese.

There are also people like the country who rely on slave trafficking and become human traffickers.

The high-quality slaves trained in the country of Wu are now even famous in the world like the Silla maids of the Tang Dynasty.
