PFC Chapter 194 Is this crazy?
Chapter 194 Is this crazy?
Watching Li Fugui's carriage gradually leave, the village chief asked worriedly.
He had also read the documents just now, and Lin Xiaofan provided him with lime support. After the matter was completed, he handed over [-]% of his property to Lin Xiaofan, worth tens of thousands of taels.
That's tens of thousands of taels of silver. If converted into food, it would be worth millions of catties, enough to feed tens of thousands of people through the winter.
This amount is really too big.
Li Zheng didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, so he thought it was a lie.
Although Lin Xiaofan had two guest orders from big families in the capital, from Li Zheng's point of view, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy without much experience.
"Don't worry, Uncle De. He doesn't dare to make mistakes. Besides, he can't play."
Lin Xiaofan had a confident smile on his face, and then he said:
"Next, I have to rely on you, the old man, to help me and inform you. Anyone who can work in the village will be given a job quota, and the treatment will be the same as before."
One work quota per person? Is Lin Xiaofan crazy? How much does this cost? Li Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Xiao Fan, are you serious? Give everyone in the village a work quota?"
You know, before Lin Xiaofan came back, the people in the village would be struggling for a job quota.
Not only that, but people also came to him from time to time, asking him to talk to Lin Xiaofan and get another job quota.
Of course, everyone who wanted a job quota was rejected by him.
Other matters can be discussed, but if it involves Lin Xiaofan, then he will follow Lin Xiaofan's ideas.
In his opinion, Lin Xiaofan was content to give people in the village work quotas and help them live a life without starving to death or freezing to death.
Lin Xiaofan's plan should not be disrupted because of the selfish interests of a few villagers.
Moreover, when Lin Xiaofan was hungry every day, no one except Li San had ever helped him.
But Lin Xiaofan never held a grudge, and instead offered high-paying jobs to the villagers.
People in the village are now asking Lin Xiaofan for a job. In his opinion, this is really shameless.
But he watched everyone in the village grow up. He still hoped in his heart that everyone in the village would be better off.
Lin Xiaofan said that every person in the village who could work would be given a work quota, how could he not be excited?
"Really. Nowadays, business is very busy and we need a lot of people. If people from the next village also want to come and work, they can be arranged."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Next year, his lime will supply [-]% of Qingzhou's market, which will require a lot of manpower.
Just the people in the village may not be enough.
"Okay, don't worry, Xiaofan, I can find you as many people as you need."
Li Zheng nodded heavily. The eyes that looked at Lin Xiaofan were full of gratitude.
He also knew everyone from the neighboring villages, and one or two of them had particularly good relations with them.
If I introduce such a good job to them, I'm afraid it will cause those few people to rush for it.
At the same time, they owed Lijiazhuang a favor.
"Uncle De, please come forward."
Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly. As long as the manpower problem is solved, the problem of lime supply can be solved.
Just leave the remaining issues to Li Fugui.
It was winter now, and most of the people in the village stayed at home, so Li Zheng quickly called them out.
Everyone can get back to work by the afternoon at the latest.
Looking at the villagers walking towards Lin Xiaofan's quarry one after another, Li Zheng felt indescribable excitement in his heart, as if he had already seen what Lijiazhuang would look like in the future.
Everyone builds big houses, everyone has meat to eat, and no bones are frozen to death on the roadside in times of famine.
By the time Lin Xiaofan returned home, it was already noon.
The construction of the third and fourth earth kilns began, and villagers came to help one after another.
There is strength in numbers, and within one morning, the two earthen kilns have begun to take shape.
"Husband!"
Li Xiaoran happened to come out of the earthen kiln, and when he saw the people coming, he also trotted over.
"Not bad. The work efficiency is so fast. It seems that you are commanding well."
Lin Xiaofan looked at the impressive earthen kiln and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"No, it's mainly due to the hard work of the villagers."
Li Xiaoran smiled shyly.
"Husband, by the way, why are so many people suddenly here?"
"Haha, these are just recruited. A large number of people will come one after another in a while. Let's put aside the lime mining matter for a while, and everyone will build earthen kilns. We will build twenty first."
Lin Xiaofan said.
Twenty earth kilns should be able to supply [-]% of Qingzhou's market demand.
This is due to heavy snowfall. After spring starts and the snow melts, I am afraid that several more earthen kilns will be added.
"Twenty?"
Li Xiaoran looked at Lin Xiaofan with confusion on his face, as if the latter had said something wrong.
But Lin Xiaofan nodded.
"Husband, are you kidding? And there are so many earthen kilns, I may not be able to manage them."
Li Xiaoran's eyes dodge, a little unsure.
There are twenty earthen kilns, and the workload is ten times that of before. Why did they suddenly expand so much?
My husband also said before that this kind of thing should be done slowly.
Moreover, with her current ability, all four of them were in a hurry.
An increase of twenty at once would give her a headache.
"Yes, set up twenty earthen kilns. Please calculate how many people are needed to keep twenty earthen kilns running. I will recruit them."
Lin Xiaofan spoke with certainty. Seeing Li Xiaoran's unconfident look, he patted Li Xiaoran on the shoulder:
"You don't have to worry about management. When the time comes, twenty people will be selected, and each one will be responsible for managing an earthen kiln. If anyone has a problem, they can come to you. Wouldn't it be much easier to manage?"
Lin Xiaofan put forward his inner thoughts.
Some villagers have been working in earth kilns, and they also know very well how earth kilns operate and how to use them.
It's okay to let them deal with some simple problems.
Li Xiaoran frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this method.
Find twenty managers, each responsible for managing an earthen kiln. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, come to her again.
In this way, her management difficulty will be greatly reduced.
And if there is a problem in any earthen kiln, just find the person in charge directly.
After thinking about it, Li Xiaoran's eyes lit up. He didn't care if there was anyone around him, he hugged Lin Xiaofan and kissed him:
"Husband, what is your brain made of? This method works so well, I will do it now!"
"Solve it as soon as possible. When this matter is over, we will go to the beach to play."
Before leaving, Lin Xiaofan did not forget to encourage Li Xiaoran again.
After explaining the matter about lime, Lin Xiaofan went to Li San's home again, ready to talk about gunpowder.
He decided to give the method of making gunpowder to Li San and ask Li San to help him make it.
After all, this weapon is too powerful and should only be given to someone you trust. Li San is the best choice.
The front yard of Li San's house has been cleared out, and all kinds of debris have been piled into the newly built warehouse next to it.
At the same time, the size of the yard has also expanded to three times its original size.
Countless craftsmen are here, immersed in making repeating crossbows.
Li San walked among the crowd and provided timely guidance if any craftsmen had any technical problems.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan coming, Li San hurriedly greeted him.
