Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

chapter 405

In the small courtyard, Su Jing has already begun to tinker.

As an activist, Su Jing has always been resolute and resolute.

As for the bullock cart, it has now been returned by Su Jing, and it was rented.

As the first bicycle built after coming to Ming Dynasty, Su Jing's requirements were very simple, as long as it could walk.

The body is entirely made of wood, with no chain, chainrings or pedals.

Even the front wheels were fixed and unable to turn. Su Jing's request was just to push and slide.

However, even so, this is not a simple matter.

An all-wooden car body means that the quality of the wood must be good, the density must be high, and the strength must be sufficient.

Such wood is generally more expensive and rare.

The expensive thing is not a problem for Su Jing, after all, there is a lot of money.

And if it is rare, in the Ming Dynasty, the vegetation coverage rate was still very high, and there were large timbers of various ages.

However, due to transportation conditions, buying this kind of good wood requires booking in advance.

Fortunately, Su Jing pays attention to doing things as she pleases, and does not set any time limit for herself. Anyway, she just does it.

Obviously she could hire a carpenter directly, so Su Jing was stunned and bought a bunch of tools and ordinary wood to start practicing carpentry.

In ancient times, there was no Internet, information could be transferred so quickly, and there were not many modern entertainment facilities. Killing time was a very important thing for Su Jing.

He doesn't want to be a rich man who only knows how to make money. It is true to experience more.

So in the small courtyard, Su Jing, who had been busy drying dandelions to extract rubber, turned to carpentry.

For Su Jing, she can even make iron by herself, and carpentry is not difficult.

Of course, it is easy to make a simple bicycle carpentry, but it involves some delicate work, which requires not only patience but also proficiency.

No matter how much knowledge that transcends the times in Su Jing's mind, only practice makes perfect in crafts.

practice!
practice!
practice!
This is what Su Jing is doing now.

"Not having a mobile phone can really improve your concentration on doing things!"

Su Jing looked at the completed wheel in front of her and sighed.

In my previous life, we were in the information age, and we needed to receive a lot of information every minute and every second. Even a businessman like Su Jing had to deal with a lot of things.

The most commonly used medium is naturally the mobile phone.

Make phone calls, send messages, handle emails, check the news...

Su Jing in her previous life had to check her phone every once in a while as long as she kept her eyes open.

And here, in the Ming Dynasty, in this small courtyard.

None of these things, the transmission of information here is extremely slow, and the pace is also extremely slow.

Su Jing only needs to focus on what she wants to do. This feeling is really good.

"Master, master!"

Sun Ping's cheerful voice came.

I saw him carrying an oilcloth parcel in his left hand and a jug of wine in his right hand, walking very happily.

Su Jing raised her head and glanced: "You brought wine, do you want to have a drink with me?"

Sun Ping came to the yard with a smile and put the oilcloth parcel and wine on the stone table.

He was not at all surprised by the carpentry work Su Jing was doing.

Although I don't know what Su Jing is doing, doing some weird things is Su Jing's daily routine.

"Boss, the business of the cloth shop is very good now, and the matter was handled well last time. I guess you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some food over."

Sun Ping unwrapped the oilcloth package and found two small bags inside.

"Two pounds of braised beef and one roast chicken. Boss, would you like some drink?"

Sun Ping asked Su Jing.

Su Jing straightened up, moved her body, nodded and said: "It's okay, I've been working hard all morning, and it's not okay to drink some."

"okay!"

As soon as Sun Ping heard Su Jing's agreement, he immediately ran into the kitchen and took two pairs of chopsticks and two cups.

Su Jing washed her hands and sat in front of the stone table.

Beef and roast chicken paired with wine is quite satisfying.

"My boss, I, Sun Ping, have never seen someone as powerful as you in my life. I am so lucky to be able to follow my boss."

Sun Ping helped pour the wine and said sincerely.

Su Jing drank wine and said with a smile: "What's so great about him is that he is just an ordinary person in this world."

Sun Ping looked at Su Jing and said, "There is something different about my boss. Sun Ping can't explain it, but there is it."

"Honestly, Sun Ping is with Dongjia not only because he saved Sun Ping at Dongjia."

Sun Ping's words made Su Jing interested. She asked with a smile: "Sun Ping, don't scare me. I don't have the good qualities of Long Yang or the habit of cutting sleeves."

"No no."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ping immediately explained: "Sun Ping didn't mean this."

Su Jing laughed loudly, patted Sun Ping on the shoulder and said, "I was just joking. You don't need to be so scared. I'm just your boss. Apart from the employment relationship, we are friends."

"Sun Ping thanked his employer!"

Sun Ping suddenly stood up and bowed to Su Jing.

Su Jing asked doubtfully: "Sun Ping, what's wrong with you? Is it possible that you are leaving?"

"No, no, as long as the boss still needs Sun Ping, Sun Ping will not leave."

Sun Ping replied: "I just felt something from my boss that I couldn't feel before."

"I can't explain clearly, but my boss gives me a different feeling from those high-ranking officials. Some nobles are kind-hearted and treat people well, but they are not as good as my boss."

Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sun Ping, what you want to say is equality."

equality?

Sun Ping looked confused and didn't understand what Su Jing meant when he suddenly said this.

Su Jing continued: "To you, Sun Ping, I never feel that I am superior to others, that I am giving you charity by helping you, or that I am your boss and can insult you at will."

"I am a human being, and you, Sun Ping, are also human beings. No one is more noble than anyone else. We are all the same."

After hearing such an explanation, Sun Ping seemed to understand a little, but he couldn't really understand it.

Because the idea of ​​​​honor and inferiority is deeply ingrained in his mind.

He can feel equality, but when equality is actually spoken, he cannot truly accept it.

"Master, I don't know."

Sun Ping shook his head, already beginning to struggle in his heart.

The idea of ​​equality broke into his heart so directly for the first time.

Even though the words "Princes and generals should rather have the right kind" have long been familiar to us, the feudal dynasty implanted feudal ideas into the minds of the people little by little.

This goes back and forth, deepening and deepening until it solidifies.

"Forget it if you don't know. Let's drink and eat."

Su Jing glanced at Sun Ping and understood that some things were not as simple as she thought.

The improvement of technology and the spread of knowledge are the easiest things for me as a time traveler to do.

Only ideas and one's own strength cannot resist the torrent of history. "Um."

Sun Ping nodded, then picked up the wine glass.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and Su Jing then changed the topic and said, "By the way, how is Lao Qian doing now?"

Wang Jiafu of Ping An Rice Shop has left, but the successor shopkeeper is not shopkeeper Qian.

"It's getting better. I've been having people take care of me, and sometimes I'll wake up a little. The doctor said that with this momentum, there's a good chance of recovery."

Sun Ping replied.

Su Jing nodded and said: "This is a good job. After all, Lao Qian used to be the shopkeeper of Mihang, so he has to take care of it."

Although shopkeeper Qian was said to be crazy, Su Jing never felt that she was the cause of it.

But after all, they are their own employees, and Su Jing is not so ruthless.

"My boss is so kind-hearted. The guys in the shop say that shopkeeper Qian is so lucky to have a boss like my boss."

Sun Ping said: "Shopkeeper Qian doesn't have a family. If it were another boss, he would have frozen to death on the roadside."

What Sun Ping said is true. Who in the right mind would take care of a madman?

Although the current Ming Dynasty can be considered peaceful, it is not a prosperous era.

In the third year of Hongwu, it was still a time when everything was waiting for improvement.

"Um……"

Su Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Sun Ping, I have an idea. Two percent of each shop's annual revenue should be put into an account and pooled into one fund, which will be the emergency relief fund."

"As long as an accident occurs to employees in my industry, depending on their position and working years, they can use part of the emergency relief fund to help them tide over the difficulties. What do you think?"

In fact, Su Jing's financial relief fund is somewhat similar to modern medical insurance, except that it is not paid by employees.

"Master, this is great."

Sun Ping immediately said excitedly: "If this emergency relief fund is really implemented, then all the guys will definitely be loyal to the boss, and no one will want to leave at all."

In this day and age, accidents are all too common.

People who do not have the five insurances have no ability to resist accidents.

Once sick or injured at work, there is a high probability that the person will become a disabled person, and in serious cases, it will drag down a family.

Sun Ping came from an ordinary life and knew very well the significance of Su Jing's emergency relief fund to employees.

"It's just that if this happens, wouldn't there be a lot of profits every year..."

Sun Ping was not happy for long because he immediately thought of another thing.

profit!

Two percent, this ratio doesn’t seem like much.

Sun Ping, who runs Su's Clothing Company, also understands that [-]% profit is not a small number.

At the same time, Su Jing has many shops under his command.

If you add it all up, it's definitely a huge amount.

This emergency relief fund is equivalent to Su Jing spending a huge amount of her personal wealth every year, and there is no economic benefit.

From a business perspective, this business is a big loss.

"It's just money, just enough to spend."

Su Jing smiled and said: "Actually, what I originally thought was to deduct a small amount from your salary and add my subsidies to make this emergency relief fund. But after thinking about it, if this is the case, then I am afraid that many people will I won’t be willing to engage in this emergency relief fund.”

Su Jing believed that the five insurance system in her previous life was a very advanced and complete people's life insurance.

But the situation in Ming Dynasty is still far from that in the previous life.

Not to mention the food and clothing line, there are too many people struggling to survive.

"I see."

Sun Ping said: "Indeed, if it is really deducted from the salary, we shopkeepers may not care, but for the most basic employees, they cannot think about unexpected things at all, but how to survive until tomorrow."

"I would like to thank you all for your boss's kindness."

After saying that, Sun Ping knelt down directly towards Su Jing, showing great sincerity.

This emergency relief fund can be said to be purely Su Jing's charity.

Su Jing immediately pulled Sun Ping up: "Sun Ping, there is a saying that if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."

"As for me, my ideals are not as lofty as the world, and I only have some spare money. I can help a little, so why not do it?"

This was actually Su Jing's original ideal after she became successful in the Ming Dynasty. She couldn't help too many people, it was enough to only help those around her.

"My master's level is so high, Sun Ping admires him endlessly."

Sun Ping stood up and said: "What Sun Ping can do is to run the cloth shop well and make more profits."

"Hahaha!"

Su Jing smiled and said: "Sun Ping, you are my strongest supporter! Only when you work hard to make money can I have the confidence to do more things."

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do it!"

Sun Ping nodded seriously.

I drank this pot of wine for almost an hour. It was not much wine, so you can appreciate its true taste by drinking it slowly.

"By the way, my boss, those guys seem to have died down now, but I think they have definitely not given up. My boss must be careful, especially that Li Mingyou."

Sun Ping said to Su Jing.

After the incident at Su's cloth shop passed, the shopkeepers who had previously had various thoughts all withered.

Su Jing's methods are too powerful.

The handover of Ping An Clothing Company also made them understand that Wang Jiafu was Su Jing's bait from the beginning.

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart."

Su Jing smiled and nodded: "It's almost time for you to go back, so I won't send you away."

Su Jing has always been vigilant.

Not just in business, but also in personal safety.

"Okay, now that my boss has said so, Sun Ping can rest assured."

Sun Ping nodded, turned and left the small courtyard.

Su Jing was sitting in the yard. Although she didn't drink too much, her head was still a little dizzy.

"No, let's go get some sleep first. There's no rush anyway."

Su Jing looked at the carpentry work on the ground, turned around and entered the house.

At this time, on the official road from the capital to Lishui County, several fast horses were galloping.

It was none other than the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and several guards accompanying him to protect him.

Zhu Fan has returned from Su Jing, so Zhu Di naturally couldn't hold it any longer.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma returned to the palace from the Jinling Hotel branch, Zhu Di went directly to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu directly agreed to Zhu Di's request without Zhu Di opening his mouth.

Of course, like his two older brothers, they only had three days.

In addition, there were some other things that Zhu Di needed to take with him, and they were all handed over to Su Jing.

Zhu Di was young at this time, but he did not ride in a carriage, but directly rode a horse.

His idea was simple. Riding a horse would definitely be faster than a carriage, so he would have more time.
