MTL - The Rise Of The Tamer Family-Chapter 66 cash-for-work
After the county magistrate left, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan, "Elder, send a message, my Chen family can get food, so they don't panic."
"As long as they follow in the footsteps of the Chen family, they will never starve."
"Yes."
Time went on for a month. During this month, due to the fact that each household still had surplus grain, nothing else happened.
But that's the end of it. Many people have dared to ask the Chen family where the food is.
And the county magistrate also approached Chen Yang several times and asked the Chen family to open a warehouse for grain production.
In this regard, Chen Yang rejected the magistrate on the pretext that there was surplus grain in each household, and the early disaster relief would waste grain.
As for the outside, the food in the business has risen to a sky-high price. Moreover, there are many merchants who no longer sell food, and will make a good profit when they really run out of food.
And the major families all know that now is not the time to put food, and those who have a tacit understanding do not act.
However, it was only this month. As the grain was gradually consumed, some noble families had already opened warehouses to sell grain.
Moreover, he also knew that this was the food supported by the royal family, so he did not dare to sell it too expensive.
At the same time, because I didn't know where to buy grain, I didn't dare to sell too much, so each household had purchase restrictions.
And some aristocratic families put food for free. Of course, there is not much food put in each time, and it basically maintains what is needed for one day.
In the discussion hall, Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang and said, "Patriarch, it's almost time, you can open the warehouse and put food. If you wait any longer, the people will starve to death."
"It's almost there..." Chen Yang heard the words, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to arrange the opening of the warehouse immediately?"
"Well. Wait a minute, Great Elder, do you plan to release it for free?" Chen Yang held Chen Xuan.
"Otherwise, is it possible that the owner of the family intends to sell it? But the big money is of little use to us, so we might as well gain a good reputation."
Chen Xuan was a little puzzled. Didn't Chen Yang value the reputation of the Chen family in Chencheng, why didn't they distribute food for free now?
"Elder, sit down first."
Chen Yang pulled Chen Xuan to the chair, and then handed Chen Xuan a cup of tea, "Elder, this opening the warehouse and placing grain may gain a good reputation in a short period of time."
"But it's been a long time? Once the food runs out or the food is given less, there will definitely be more scolding than this compliment."
"You know, Shengmien fights against rice."
Holding the tea, Chen Xuan thought about it for a moment, and suddenly a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He had already thought about what Chen Yang said, if there is a real shortage of food, those troublemakers would not understand the difficulties of the Chen family at the first time, but suspect that the Chen family was greedy for the food.
Or deliberately do not intend to give them, want to sell to other places to make money.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan quickly took a sip of tea, and then said, "The owner of the house, do we also sell food?"
"Selling food? Great Elder, didn't you say it all just now? This big money is of little use to us." Chen Yang smiled.
Chen Xuan was a little confused by Chen Yang, this is not okay or that is not okay, is it possible to starve them to death?
"Don't worry, elder, we don't need big money, but one thing, we really need it?"
"There's one thing we really need?" Chen Xuan frowned. He really couldn't figure out what the Chen family needed from these people.
"Patriarch, I really can't think of what the Chen family needs from them." Chen Xuan said honestly.
"There are many, such as their strength. We can let them work for us, and pay them food according to the amount of work."
"I call this method cash-for-work."
Chen Yang briefly explained to Chen Xuan the method of giving money for work in his previous life.
And after Chen Xuan heard it, another question popped up: "But Patriarch, our Chen family doesn't have much work for them."
"Why not?" Chen Yang pointed to the map on the wall, "We swallowed one-third of Gongsun City's territory, and the scope of Chen City will naturally be expanded."
"When the time comes to expand the city wall and lay roads, which one does not require labor?"
"Just building the city wall and laying the road is enough for the people of Chencheng to do it for a few years. As for the warriors who have a cultivation base, those with a low cultivation base will build the city wall together."
"And those with a high level of cultivation can act as guards for our Chen family in exchange for food."
After listening to Chen Yang's description, Chen Xuan had a new understanding of food-for-work, and immediately said, "Well, just do as the owner said."
"But if we do this, will we push the people into other cities?"
In response, Chen Yang knocked on the table and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, "Don't worry, it's hard to leave the homeland, and not many people are willing to leave their hometown.
Besides, we're not squeezing them. How much labor they pay and how much food we pay, it's fair and just. "
"With the fame of our Chen family in Chencheng, at most there will be some complaints. After a long time, the complaints will disappear."
"If someone still wants to go to those cities that distribute food for free, let him go. It will be difficult to come back later. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
After listening to Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away, and try to figure out how much work to do and how much food to receive in the shortest possible time."
"Then it will trouble the Great Elder."
Chen Cheng, notice boards everywhere.
After a day of discussions, the Chen family has temporarily planned out the specific 'salary' treatment, and immediately cooperated with the county government to issue a notice.
"Mr. Liu, take a look, what is written on this notice?"
At a notice board in the north of the city, the people surrounding him pushed an old gentleman who had read books to the notice and let him see what the notice said.
After reading the notice, the old gentleman said to the people around him, "The notice says that everyone can work for the Chen family, and the wages are food."
"For the specific collection standard, you need to go to a specific place and listen to the instructions of the leader there."
"As for what everyone needs to dare to do, it's on the street of the Chen family. Where is the Chen family in charge of this?"
As soon as these words came out, the people immediately boiled.
"I said that the Chen family can't forget us. What's the matter? Don't we have food now? I have to hurry over there. If I'm late, I won't lose a seat."
"But I heard, isn't this food given by the royal family?"
"Even if it was given by the royal family, it was also given to the Chen family. Why, you still plan to let the Chen family give it to you for free?"
"That's right, you still need labor to farm your own fields. Why, now you don't work for the Chen family?
Judging from the fact that the Chen family is willing to protect us, I am willing to work for the Chen family. "
"Humph! A bunch of idiots, other cities are giving away for nothing, and they are stupidly working for the Chen family. I plan to go to other cities anyway."
