Can you live forever

Chapter 38 Social Surveys

Without Zhang Zhixiang's knowledge, what he thought was an upright assassination had turned into an assassination, just because of some evil intentions of the superiors.

But no matter what, the angry Zhang Zhixiang couldn't avoid it after all.

He should copy books every day, and go out when he should go out. He can't hide, he has to see the world more. Although he didn't receive any higher education in his previous life, he knows who's words should be kept in his heart.

The great leader once said, come from the masses and go to the masses.

Zhang Zhixiang has realized his extraordinary status, he is a direct disciple of Tianshi Mansion, Zhengde 21th, April [-]st, the auspicious birth day when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne!
He had great influence on Emperor Jiajing!

The knowledge in his mind is enough for him to become the national teacher of Daming, thus affecting the future of the whole world!

He must know what the bottom of the world is like, how difficult the people's livelihood is, and what factors have caused the situation in Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to visit, let Jiang'er take you there."

When the merchant ship returned to Guiyuan, Zhang Zhixiang asked Wang Yuanzhi where he could get more information, and Wang Yuanzhi recommended Wang Jiangque as a guide.

She will definitely refuse, Zhang Zhixiang thought.

"it is good."

Wang Jiangque agreed...

"You guys go, I'm just going to visit an old friend." It stands to reason that Zhang Yonghuan would accompany him for protection, but he left, which made Zhang Zhixiang a little helpless.

"Fourth Uncle, in case someone assassinates..."

Zhang Yonghuan waved his hand with a smile, and left without answering. Wang Jiangque first ordered Yinqiao to arrange a carriage, and then explained to Zhang Zhixiang: "Assassination in Nanjing will break the rules, and no one will mess around."

"Again..."

"It's fine if you don't prepare for the assassination once. If you don't prepare for the second assassination, our Wang family doesn't deserve to own this family property."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded, it was considered to have accepted this statement, and so on, the two young masters and young ladies went out, and each brought a maid to serve him.

To conduct a social survey, one must first understand that Yingtianfu is a city, and it was the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the petty bourgeoisie of the owner farmers, the residents in the city have no land to cultivate, and most of them are proletarian workers.

To understand the income of workers and the price level of Yingtianfu, there is no better place than a dental store.

Operating a dental practice must be approved by the government and pay tax.Yaxing plays the role of "evaluating prices" and "trading merchants" in transactions, controlling the market and managing commerce on behalf of the government.

What they are going to now is called Baekje Dental Clinic.

"Baekje is specialized in accepting and introducing helpers, including carpenters, bricklayers, porters, cooks, embroiderers, bookkeepers, gardeners, musicians... basically everything you need."

"Those who make a living in Yingtian Mansion will hang their identities in major tooth shops."

"When the employer needs it, the dental bank selects suitable workers to undertake the business, and then draws Chinese capital."

"The intermediary fee is about [-]% to [-]% of the commission."

Wang Jiangque is a very good guide, she introduced these things like a few treasures, Zhang Zhixiang was hesitant when he heard the words, and said: "The platform commission is so high?"

"platform?"

Wang Jiangque thought for a while, and then understood the meaning of the word, she said lightly: "It's nothing more than a gap in intelligence, there is no dental practice, the eyes of the workers are darkened, whether the job is good or not, and there is no witness or guarantee .”

"On the contrary, with a dental clinic, there are more jobs, and workers can feel at ease in doing things."

"Employers go back on their promises, withhold wages, and have their own dental office to ask for an explanation. Workers don't need to worry about it, and employers can rest assured that they have dental insurance. If the work is not done well, just go to the dental office."

"Intelligence, trust."

"These two things are in the hands of the dentist, and [-]% of the pumping is not too much."

Wang Jiangque is a typical businessman thinking. What she said makes sense, but Zhang Zhixiang is not convinced. Thinking of some platforms in his previous life, he always feels that the profits extracted are too high, making platforms that monopolize information and trust become a kind of alternative landlords .

Zhang Zhixiang did not argue with Wang Jiangque.

When they arrived at their destination, as soon as they entered the Baekje Dental Shop, Yazi came up to serve them. It was obvious that they were young masters and young ladies, regardless of their young age, their attitudes were very respectful.

"The two of you need labor? Our Baekje has the most affordable price and the most thoughtful service in Nanjing, and we are sure to find helpers for the two of you as quickly as possible."

Yazi's surname was Zhao, and he took the two of them to sit down enthusiastically, warmed the teacups for them with his own hands, and was about to refill the tea and talk slowly.

Zhang Zhixiang took the tea, but Wang Jiangque didn't move his hands. Zhao Yazi was not embarrassed, or he had expected it, and put the teacup there, quietly waiting for the two employers to speak.

Wang Jiangque said, "Two gardeners are needed to repair the flowers and plants in the yard."

Zhao Yazi was invigorated when he heard the business, and quickly introduced: "Among the gardeners registered here, there are 852 small workers, 89 major workers, and 6 experts."

"Junior workers are eight taels of silver a day, big workers are two taels of silver a day, and experts are five taels of silver a day."

"Which kind of lady do you want to hire?"

Wang Jiangque asked, "What is the level of an expert?"

Yazi replied: "They all served the imperial garden in the imperial palace. All the princes and ministers need experts to repair the courtyard. We Baekje will guarantee it. If the effect does not meet the requirements of your house, we will not take any money."

Wang Jiangque nodded and said, "Arrange two experts to work for three days each, and the location is Guiyuan. Next, he wants to know something, so let's chat with him."

Yinqiao had already taken the tea set and tea leaves from the carriage to make tea for her young lady.

If it was a young lady from other wealthy families, there should be a table full of various preserved fruits, snacks and snacks at this time, but Wang Jiangque doesn't like those sweets, and she is never greedy.

After the business was done, Zhao Yazi naturally knew everything without involving confidentiality.

Unlike Wang Jiangque, who only hired experts, Zhang Zhixiang was more concerned about small workers. He asked, "Among the many workers, is the salary of a gardener considered high or low?"

Zhao Yazi replied: "The wages of gardeners are medium, but the most stable."

"As experts, the price is high, and they are often only hired for a few days when needed. As for small workers, who has a yard and wants to take care of some flowers and plants, so they have to ask someone to take care of them from time to time? Often as long as they are satisfied, Once hired, it can be months or even years.”

"Among ordinary workers, carpenters earn the highest wages."

"Even for small workers, when the market is good, they can often charge a wage of two renminbi a day. When it comes to big workers and experts, they are not charged by the day, but by the project."

"Building a garden or building a palace requires a master carpenter to plan it, doesn't it?"

"As for the jobs with the cheapest wages, they are porters and helpers."

"They don't have any skills. They just use their hands when needed. They are the most labor-intensive, but also the cheapest. According to the degree of hard work, there are fluctuations from three cents to one cent and two cents."

"On average, the wages of these porters are about five cents."

"Because of the high turnover, it is not bad to have work for 20 days a month."

Zhang Zhixiang originally thought that Guixi was a small place with cheap labor, and the workers on the wharf only had [-] cents a day, but he didn't expect that Yingtian Mansion was similar, and there was also a dental shop to pump water!

He will ask in doubt.

Zhao Yazi groaned, and said, "Guixi, the wharf naturally requires higher wages. The laborers at Yingtianfu Wharf can earn a penny a day, but not everyone can do that job."

"30 days a month, even if you want to keep spinning, it depends on whether your body can bear it."

"Plus, the marina is no better than anywhere else."

"Working at the wharf requires you to make a confession. When we introduce the business at the wharf, we only charge [-]% of the water, because those gangs squeeze even harder. They all start at [-]% and the maximum can be [-]%."

"Hey, who wants to go to the docks if they can make a living in the city?"

　Thanks to "Yunyunzhe" for tipping 100 starting coins.

　　The answer to the question of joining the group is the protagonist "Li He" in the previous book. I changed the settings, and now it is manually verified. Just answer the protagonist.
