Chapter 62 Thank you gift package
Everyone looked at Wen Yunxi with bated breath.
Wen Yunxi did not disappoint them and announced two more things one after another.
"Starting from today, the wages of those who have worked before will increase to 22 cents per day, and will increase every year from now on."
There was an uproar again below. The price increased by two cents a day, which equals sixty cents a month, which is enough for a normal family to eat for a month.
Su Qiao looked at Wen Yunxi's straight back and smiled slowly.
Others only see Wen Yunxi spending money and have no idea how much money she will make after it is completed. Promoting the foreman and improving the workers' salary is just a drop in the bucket.
At first, he didn't understand the reason for Wen Yunxi's high treatment. He didn't understand until the four northern barbarians actively asked for cooperation.
Just like buying a horse with a thousand gold, Wen Yunxi showed them her financial resources and attitude, telling them that she had money and was willing to spend it.
She is willing to be considerate of the poor workers, and naturally understands the difficulties of their barbarian tribes, and will not treat them as dispensable pawns.
Su Qiao was born into a scholarly family, and he was already destined to study, take exams, and become an official when he was born. If he had not been convicted and exiled, he would never have been exposed to these business methods in his life.
He didn't understand other businessmen, but Wen Yunxi was indeed smart and cunning, always planning and following every step.
Thinking of Wen Yunxi's profit from selling sugar, Su Qiao felt that he could ask Wen Yunxi to increase his salary.
Anyone who sees it has a share.
When the people below had cheered enough, Wen Yunxi continued: "I can resume work this time, thanks to the help of my friends in the county."
"I have prepared a big thank-you gift package for everyone. Anyone who has participated in the Smashing Yishengtang and followed Aunt Yizi to the county government can receive it."
After Wen Yunxi said this, he led the people off the stage and walked towards the back, leaving the excited voices behind him.
"Haha, I helped arrest someone!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? I even went to the county government office with you. It was very satisfying to see those people being beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers."
"Oh, I didn't go. I just got a rope for Aunt Yi. I don't know if I can get it."
"That should count for you, just ask Aunt Yi."
When Shui Xin squeezed out from the crowd of brothers, she happened to see her father carrying two large baskets and quickly went up to pick them up.
The basket is heavy.
"Dad, I'll take you back."
Master Shui patted his youngest son's hand and took one of the baskets back into his own hand.
"You go about your business. I'll just take the bullock cart back with the old guys later. If Divine Doctor Wen thinks highly of you, don't let him down and work hard."
Shuixin took the basket back and said, "Dad, I know, work hasn't started yet, I'll stay with you."
When he became a foreman, he would have less and less time to go home. If he wanted to get the reward of [-] yuan, he had to manage all his workers well.
The two of them talked and found a bamboo stool to sit down.
Because the Pingxiba construction site had to receive people from the county town, hundreds of stools were set up for everyone to sit on. After work resumed, more than a thousand more stools were added.
The stools were neatly arranged on the flat ground, and most of them were already occupied.
Those who did not receive the thank-you gift package noticed Shui Xin and his son, and gathered friends to come and watch. Before they even saw the contents of the gift package, they were envious of the big basket.
"Axin, lift up the banana leaf and take a look."
"Yes, let's see quickly."
"Doctor Wen is so generous, I'm afraid he may have put flour in it."
Lanzhou does not produce wheat, so flour is shipped from elsewhere. Not only is the price high, it is often unavailable.
Shui Xin felt the same way. It felt heavy just after he lifted it. There must be food in it.
He guessed right, there was indeed wheat flour.
But besides flour, there are even rarer things.
As soon as Shuixin opened the big leaves on the basket, there was a sound of gasping all around.
A refreshing and pleasant fragrance floats in the air.
Master Shui picked up a leaf bag and opened it, only to see eight pieces of light green cakes stacked inside, which looked like something they had never seen before.
The adults could bear it, but the children couldn't. They looked at the cakes and then at Shui Ye, and their whole bodies were saying they wanted to eat Shui touched the hair of the nearest child and distributed all the pastries.
The children ate with great joy, "It's ice cold and feels so good after eating it."
"Soft and so sweet."
"Mom, try it too."
"This...you can eat it yourself."
The adults swallowed. Although they wanted to eat, they still didn't taste it.
After all, Mr. Shui and his son didn't eat it, so they gave it to their own children. How dare they eat it?
After Mr. Shui divided the pastries, he picked up a cloth bag and opened it. It contained small green beans. The grains were plump and tasted similar to the pastries just now.
After opening the cloth bag containing the mung beans, there was another cloth bag underneath. Before I opened it, I could smell the strong smell of red dates.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a big bag of red dates.
"Oh, how much did Divine Doctor Wen spend? If I hadn't prepared those two things in advance, just this bag of red dates would cost thousands of yuan."
"It's not over yet. There are still bags of flour in the basket."
Someone slapped their thigh in annoyance, "Why did I hesitate at that time? If I had followed, this basket would have been enough for my family to eat for a long time."
"Well, my house is right next to Aunt Yi. The youngest daughter at home asked me to go, but I refused. I want to go back as soon as I live longer."
With a sound of regret, Shuixin covered the banana leaves again.
"Dad, let me take you back."
This basket of food was too eye-catching, and he was worried about it being carried by a few old men.
Master Shui didn't refuse anymore and called the three old guys to walk towards the bullock cart.
The bullock cart stopped directly at his door to pick him up, so he naturally came to see him on the way back.
The old people got into the car happily and did not notice two evil eyes, looking at them with hatred.
"Master, what should I do?"
Zhang Liuxing slapped the man on the head and said through his teeth, "What else can I do? Wait, wait until Chief Sang comes back!"
Who is Wen Yunxi's background? His methods are ruthless and slippery.
Just when he wanted to provoke a conflict between the Han people and the Zhanyue people, Wen Yunxi withdrew all the Han people and directly promoted fifteen new foremen with high wages.
The wages of [-] Wen, plus the reward of [-] Wen.
Whoever has the heart to think about that is already busy managing his workers.
Coupled with Wen Yunxi's large thank you gift package, there were many people waiting to do things for Wen Yunxi.
As long as he dares to show his head at this time, his head will be chopped off and hung at the city gate.
After being slapped this time, he fully understood that even after five or six years of reform and his living habits became more and more Chinese, he was still not completely civilized.
The methods used in the Central Plains will not work here at all.
It doesn't matter if you have money or a big backer, it really pisses them off. It doesn't matter if you don't have evidence. If you want to beat or kill them, the county government is like paper.
The most important thing in hanging around here is to win people's hearts. Unfortunately, he understood it too late and was taken advantage of by Wen Yunxi.
Looking at this construction site now, covering an area of thousands of acres, with nearly ten thousand people standing here, he was sure that if Wen Yunxi just said a word, the spittle and stars of those people could drown him.
Zhang Liuxing thought he was hidden, but he didn't know that he had been targeted by Qin Yu.
"Master, do you want to deal with it?"
Wen Yunxi shook his head, "No, it's better to have a target there."
Seeing Qin Yu leave, Zhang Ling told Wen Yunxi what happened in the morning in a low voice.
Wen Yunxi was a little surprised, but felt that it was reasonable and he was not angry.
"You just keep an eye on them and don't stop them."
