Beihai County is poor, and even the Taoist priests are not rich. Some time ago, when Yin Jian went to the mountains to play and escape the summer heat, he saw a small Taoist temple in the mountains, and he lived in the Taoist temple at that time.
He donated a sum of money, not a lot, but he had a good chat with the temple master, and before he left, he sent his servants back to the county government office to collect two scriptures from Bai Shan and Zhou Man and gave them to the temple master.
So he gained the friendship of all Taoist priests including Guanzhu.
It was the autumn harvest at this time, and there were not many fields in the Taoist temple. The Taoist priests harvested beans, rice, etc., leaving enough food for themselves, and carried the rest to the county to sell.
When I entered the city, I picked some wild vegetables to see Yin He.
They felt that Yin might not like other things, but these wild vegetables might still be of his liking.
Yin Hu really liked it very much, not only he liked it, Zhou Man and Bai Shan also liked it very much.
Although it was already autumn, the weather was still very hot. After eating the crisp cold wild vegetables, the five of them felt their appetites whetted.
After eating happily, Bai Shan announced something, "When the autumn tax comes up, I will start issuing the service order."
Before that, he had thought of issuing the duty order during the 20-day slack period between the summer harvest and the autumn harvest, but at that time, firstly, there was a robbery case in Xiaoliu Village, and secondly, the weather was getting hotter. It is hotter than Beijing.
Therefore, one is for the stability of the people, and the other is for the health of the people, so he did not follow the plan to issue the service order.
With sparkling eyes, he turned his head to look at Bai Erlang, "At that time, the county government will be responsible for their diet. All you have to do is to inspect and make sure that the people below have not skipped diet."
Bai Shandao: "The workload and diet arranged for them are compared to the article we wrote when we were young. I also want to compare the efficiency of labor over the years. If it is possible, I will report to His Majesty to improve the conditions of labor."
He looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man nodded and said, "I will prepare some emergency pills and soup in advance."
Bai Shandao: "It has to be cheap, otherwise our county has the money to pay, and other counties may not be willing to spend so much on it."
Bai Erlang, "Isn't it just the cost of eating and drinking? Can other states and counties agree?"
He's not a kid anymore, and the article they wrote when they were kids was a good idea, but it cost a lot.
But Bai Shan said: "You can't just look at the cost, but not the success of their labor. The servants don't need wages anyway. If it's not for the servants, they have to pay extra wages in addition to food, that's called high."
He felt that the value of the service order was much higher than the price they paid, so even if their cost increased, the Yamen and the court would still gain a lot.
Of course, the infrastructure built by the servants will eventually be returned to them.
Although he was working for them, Bai Shan was unwilling to wrong them. Anyway, the expenses for food and beverages were also paid out of the county government’s warehouse. not live.
Bai Shan just opened his mouth and gave the conditions, and then it was Fang Xiancheng who wrote the plan, and the specific implementation was naturally the person under his hand.
Fang Xiancheng was very hesitant, looked at the conditions of the good service order, and asked, "Are you sure, my lord?"
Bai Shan nodded, "It's confirmed, the autumn tax will be collected in these two days, and all Lili are coming to the county, so I will inform them first that there are a lot of roads and water conservancy projects that need to be repaired this year, especially the entrance and exit. The official roads of Dajiawa and Longchi, these two roads must be repaired."
Those two roads are not very good now, especially the road that everyone is lying on. It is full of potholes. Every time Baishan enters and exits, he rides a horse. If he can not take a car, it is too bumpy.
It may take a lot of manpower to repair these two roads.
Fang Xiancheng responded, and after thinking about it, he reminded, "My lord, if you provide food and drink according to the list you gave, I'm afraid it will cost a lot. The other side of the warehouse..."
Now the warehouse is no longer under the control of Master Song. Since Bai Shan took a pile of salt to Qingzhou City to sell, the warehouse has been completely controlled by Bai Shan. Know how much money the county government has now.
Although the county magistrate Fang didn't know, he could roughly guess it, because the cost of the county government was too high recently.
Now they are still receiving people looking for work in a steady stream, not only people from other counties, but also people from this county.
The autumn harvest in some people's homes has ended, or is about to end, so they have free time. They heard that the county government is recruiting workers here, and the wages are still settled every three days, so they came here excitedly.
Of course, not all the people who come here are required by the county government. First of all, they declare that they are recruiting long-term workers, so they only plan to work for a few days or one or two months, and they will not accept them;
Then it was because the Yamen was about to issue a service order, so there was only one adult in the family who would not accept it.
But even so, there are still many people who are selected.
Sometimes the magistrate of Fang County was shocked when he saw so many laborers outside the city. The stall was too big, and he was afraid that the county magistrate would tell him that there was no money in the warehouse the next day.
With so many laborers outside the county seat, once the clamor is raised, something big will happen.
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the money is still enough."
Fang Xiancheng was silent for a while, then nodded, then went out and brought in a list, handed it to Bai Shan and said: "Of course, since the money is enough, why don't we buy some things for the county government."
Bai Shan then took the list and read it, frowning slightly, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be purchased from Master Song?"
Fang Xiancheng said: "Master Song called back, and he said he has no money."
Bai Shan was displeased, "The county allocates a sum of money to the households he manages every month, which is specially used to pay the county government expenses."
Now, all the expenses of the long-term workers come from Bai Shan, and he handed it over to Director Zhao Ming. But for the salaries of officials, various expenses of the county government, and some routine expenses of the various villages and villages below, I still look for Song Zhuzhu.
Bai Shan looked through the previous account books and directly allocated funds to Master Song every month.
It is equivalent to the fact that the county government now has two warehouses, one is managed by Bai Shan, and the other is managed by Chief Bookkeeper Song. For the purchase of office supplies such as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, you can go directly to Chief Bookkeeper Song.
It was rare for Fang County Prime Minister to say a word to Master Song, "My lord, paper is very expensive. Your paper expenditure for the past five months is the amount that Beihai County used to spend in two years."
Not only because of the large influx of people recently, but also because he asked every lili to count the population before, all of which required paper.
Bai Shan: "... cost so much?"
Fang Xiancheng nodded, and with the county magistrate's habit of keeping everything on file for verification, there must be a lot of paper used in labor labor, so he mentioned buying pens, inks, papers and inkstones at this time.
"Last month, Mr. Cui took away a box of paper, and the day before yesterday someone came over to take another box." Not to mention the various pens and ink sticks, which cost a lot.
Cui Wei is currently living in Longchi and does not move. The daily measurement data and drawing require a lot of paper.
Can Bai Shan be wronged by the boss of the Ministry of Industry who has been recruited so hard for this kind of thing
