The commoners continued to watch on the big screen while drinking mutton soup and eating sesame seed cakes. They were not afraid of having a hard time sleeping at night.
The person scooping the soup scooped up as much mutton oil as possible. Only by eating the oil would they have the strength to work.
Some people went back during the day and other family members came over. Some people stayed the whole time.
For example, the children could temporarily board at the school.
Otherwise, if they lived more than 20 li outside the city, the school bus would not be able to leave in the rainy and snowy weather. The children could not walk back by themselves.
Li Yi was sweating after dancing a song. He rolled up his sleeves and continued to drink the mutton soup.
Li Chengqi, who was also participating, followed Li Yi to the table. Bi Goo was already waiting.
Zhang Shuo was also there. He brought all the cutlery over.
"Old Bi, there's no money to be made recently. Brother Jiuling should have told you about building a railway along the canal, right?"
Li Yi was very surprised. Why did you come here instead of sitting at your place?
Bi Goo looked at Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo said, "Luoyang County is helping to set up a Worry-Free Craftsman Shop. It only costs 30 yuan. There will be discounts for house repairs in the future. Xiao Yi, do you know about this? "
"I heard. As long as they don't use the money for loans, there won't be any big problems."
Li Yi nodded his head. There was nothing wrong with setting up a craftsmen's shop.
Zhang Shuo glanced at Li Yi and continued, "There was news just now. The members can have more or less money. The more money they have, the greater the discount."
"If someone wants to build a new house, they can give 50% off if they give 50 yuan." Bi Goo added.
Li Yi was stunned, "More money? There's no fixed price for a 50% discount. Building a house, including labor and materials, can cost 10 yuan or 20 yuan. "
"That's right. If the Worry-Free Craftsman Shop offers 30 yuan for a house that can be built with 10 yuan, it will be 15 yuan after a 50% discount. It will be 5 yuan more expensive than the usual house.
In addition, they went to the yamen and wanted to buy land outside the city to build a shop.
The land outside the city has already been promised to you. The yamen does not dare to sell it.
However, Luoyang County is not the only county in Henan Province. There are also other nearby counties. "
Zhang Shuo gave him two things, one of which he was worried about, and the other was even more worrying.
Li Yi smiled. "So it's not a loan, but an investment.
No, they didn't tell the members what the funds were for.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were responsible for the supervision of the funds. The funds were deposited into the Ministry of Revenue's account, the Ministry of Works would disburse the funds, and the Ministry of Revenue would audit the funds.
The Ministry of Works will send people to verify how much work they have done for each person, and how much they are paid. It cannot be higher than 10% or 20% of the market price.
After the verification and stamp, they would take the stamp to the Ministry of Revenue to withdraw money.
The Ministry of Revenue still had to inspect the money. Otherwise, if there were any problems, the Ministry of Revenue would bear the responsibility.
If the Ministry of Revenue discovers a problem during the inspection, the Ministry of Works will be held accountable, and the department responsible for the inspection will be punished. "
Li Yi came up with a simple system and operating process that could plug some of the loopholes.
Bi Goo looked at Zhang Shuo and thought about something.
Zhang Shuo reacted quickly. "They've discounted too much. Will they lose money?"
"Elder brother?" Li Yi glanced at Li Chengqi.
"Even with a 50% discount, there is still profit. As long as the work is done one by one, their construction time will be shortened.
If they contract labor and materials, it will be cheaper to buy materials together, and they know how to save time.
If they work for one company, there will be leftover materials. They will be thrown here and there.
If they work for many companies, all the materials can be used, and the cost will be reduced. "
Li Chengqi was in charge of the Workers Alliance and Yi Alliance, so he understood this very well.
The two alliances never threw anything away, and everything could be ordered around.
Especially for the Yi Alliance, the leftover materials were all leftover materials that couldn't be pieced together. They couldn't even be made into a small sachet the size of a fingernail.
These materials were not thrown away, but mixed with paste and pressed hard. After pressing, it would become the sole of a shoe.
This was different from the type used for making soles. The scraps of cloth didn't completely fill up the gaps, and they were pressed hard.
The disadvantage was that some parts would be uneven when wet, and it would hurt the feet.
The advantage was that the production speed was fast, and the materials wouldn't be wasted.
How could it not hurt the feet? A layer of real soles was added on top.
This way, it would be taller than other soles, and if it was sold at the same price, there would be sales.
Especially when big businessmen came to buy in batches, it would be easier to negotiate the price if such a batch was made.
After hearing this, Zhang Shuo was doubtful. "What about contracting labor and materials to make money?"
"If the labor and materials are not included, the wages will be lower than other places. There will be discounts, but time will be saved, and we can look at other jobs," Li Chengqi replied.
"How will it save time?" Zhang Shuo and Bi Goo asked at the same time.
Li Chengqi glanced at Li Yi, and Li Yi smacked his lips. "Normally, in order to save on materials, we will be very careful during processing. We will try to estimate how many places a material can be used in.
For example, wood is the most obvious. If the materials are not included, there is no need to save for others. We will start to cut out the workpiece after choosing a good place.
Obviously, we can cut out the materials for two workpieces with a little effort, but we can quickly cut out one and continue processing the other workpiece with the whole material. The speed is still fast.
It's the same for bricks. If there is a place that needs a small piece, we will have to find it and spend a lot of effort. We will just take the whole brick and cut out that small piece.
If we want to apply paste, we will adjust it once. If we find that it is not enough, we will adjust it again. If we do not include materials, we will adjust it again. We will apply more paste and scrape it again. The speed is very fast. "
Li Yi told the two of them the difference between contracting labor and materials and not. It was either to save money or to save time.
The key was that the quality of the work was the same, and you can't find any problems.
Bi Goo and Zhang Shuo nodded. They understood, they understood immediately.
Bi Goo took a deep breath. "We have to supervise."
Zhang Shuo said, "We are just afraid that the quality of the work will not be good. We have to save on materials."
"Just pick any one of the people at the bottom of the Ministry of Works and we will know what is going on."
Li Chengqi cleared the name of the people at the Ministry of Works. Do you think their status is low? He was very capable.
"Prime Minister Zhang, have the basic craftsmen at Luoyang's Ministry of Works been paid more?"
Li Yi thought of something. The capital's craftsmen at the Ministry of Works were earning five to six times more than what they used to.
"They have given more rice … oil?" Zhang Shuo's voice became softer.
"Old Bi, have the funds from Luoyang's finance for the craftsmen been deducted? How much? "
Li Yi asked Bi Goo again. Henan Province needed to pay money to the Ministry of Revenue in Chang 'an, and this was one of the items.
"It seems that Xiao Yi has a lot of people to practice with." Bi Goo said cheerfully.
"I have already checked before. Those who should be dealt with have all been dealt with."
Zhang Shuo reminded him, how did you check the accounts?
"It seems that the craftsmen have not been confirmed. I … will ask now."
Bi Goo did not even drink the soup and got up to look for the craftsmen.
Li Yi was stunned. "They did, but they said that it was less than 50% of what was paid. They should make up for it."
"Then let's see if they made up for it, and how much?" Bi Goo said and walked away.
"So there are no mistakes." Li Chengqi was relieved.
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo's soup bowl. "I am afraid that they will incite the people. If the people want to repair their houses, they will only provide the materials and labor. They will not pay for the materials, and the money will be in the Ministry of Revenue.
They will ask the people to fork out a portion of the money. If the people do not fork out the money, they will not work and have no money.
The people will ask the Ministry of Revenue for money. The people have already given the money. Are you still going to ask the people to fork out the money? "
