In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 98 Five Thousand Elites
The mine owner has to manage officials up and down, so it is estimated to be about 20 yuan, but even so, it is quite a huge profit, after all, the mine owners have almost nothing to do.

Qin Dong wondered: "The imperial court obviously has huge profits, why won't they raise the price, rather destroy the mine?"

"Later, the price of goods and manpower were all high, and the cost of making copper coins for the imperial court was also high, so naturally they were unwilling to raise the price." Zhao Yurui said.

In the final analysis, the Song Dynasty lost money in making copper coins, but it was determined by productivity and corruption.

The ability to mint money is limited every year. After a large amount of copper materials are collected, copper coins cannot be minted, and private minting is not allowed. Coupled with official corruption, it is naturally a loss.

At this time, Zhao Yurui had already figured out why such a good copper mine in Dasong would decline. First, various costs were high, second, productivity was not enough, and third was corruption.

Now that the court has raised the purchase price, it is estimated that it will suffer another blood loss.

Only by handing over the mine to him to manage can it be possible to make a profit.

At that time, Shi Miyuan persuaded Song Ningzong’s words were partly the main reason. During the peak period of Yuanfeng three years ago, more than 500 million copper coins were minted annually, and after Shaoxing, it was 10,000+ copper coins per year. This gap is too big, and it is also the helplessness of the current popularity .

The imperial court must also want to make a large amount of copper coins, but they don't want to lose money.

Zhao Yurui believes that the system and officials in the Southern Song Dynasty are not good enough. Even if private individuals are allowed to mint money, they will only make money by blood. How can they lose money?Otherwise, so many people in the folk risked their heads to cast privately.

At this time Qin Zhuo said: "If we only use 300 miners, the annual copper production is estimated to be about [-] million catties at most."

In the past, 500 miners could produce more than [-] million catties, but it must be considered that the miners used to smelt copper for themselves, but now they are smelting copper for the owner, and their enthusiasm may be different.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yurui said, "We need to change the way we smelt copper."

"In the past, every household did it by themselves, and three people could build a stove."

"Now we streamline production."

"Mining for mining, iron-making for iron-making, and copper-smelting for copper-smelting. Each person has his own department. Increase the capacity of iron furnaces and reduce the number of small furnaces. Fifty households or one hundred households as a group, each other Comparisons, competitions, rewards for winners, punishments for losers, as long as the means are appropriate and the chances are not low, the output is likely to be higher than 10 people, simply put, find ways to improve efficiency.”

Zhao and Rui are sure to achieve the same output with 500 households, or even exceed the output of about [-] million catties.

And he can report less, if he reaches 500 million catties, he can report 100 million catties.

At the same time, in the process of smelting, some copper ore, iron ore, and lead ore will be produced. Qin Zhuo counted all the profitable ones, and estimated that it would be no problem to earn millions of coins a year.

Of course, this is under the condition that the output is set at 500 million catties. If it is only 200 million catties, it will be a loss.

Qin Zhuo could understand what Zhao Yurui wanted. Zhao Yurui didn't care about making money, but wanted to draw strong men from among them to train soldiers. He nodded immediately: "Even if we lose 20 yuan a year, it's not too difficult for us." It’s just a trivial matter, it’s bearable.”

Qin Zhuo has tens of millions of assets, and loses 100 million a year, so he can grit his teeth.

Qin Zhuo said so, of course Qin Dong and the others had no objection.

At this time, Zhao Yurui asked Qin Zhuo how many confidantes he had here and how much he earned.

Qin Zhuo said that Qin Dong is usually the person in charge, and there are twenty strong men under him, all of whom were trained by Qin Zhuo before, and those who can be used are only a few people, because there were only a thousand miners here before, Very easy to manage.

Qin Zhuo gave Qin Dong ten guan a month, and the others five guan a month, so the income was relatively high.

Zhao Yurui whispered a few words to him, and then called Quan Yong, Yan Miaorong, Shi Gou'er, and Qian Wu.

Qin Zhuo called everyone together again and said loudly: "From today, we will establish the Xinzhou Mine Department."

"The host is Quan Yong, and the deputy hosts are Qin Dong, Shi Gouer, and Qian Wu."

Qin Dong was slightly moved, because Quan Yong, Shi Gou'er, and Qian Wu all looked young. Quan Yong was only 15 years old, and he looked the youngest. Of course, Qin Dong didn't dare to underestimate them. Just now, these teenagers were ruthless Moreover, in the era of the Southern Song Dynasty, many people of Quan Yong's age were already married and became the head of the family.

"Dong Zhao's family is benevolent, and will increase everyone's income. Qin Dong's deputy owner, the monthly salary is [-] guan, and the year-end production is based on the output. There is also a commission reward. The minimum is no less than [-] guan."

Hiss, Qin Dong's eyes widened, his face flushed with excitement.

Just now, I was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yurui's change of boss. After so many years, I didn't expect to turn around and increase his monthly salary by five times, as well as the year-end bonus share.

The rest of the original [-] subordinates get [-] guan per month each, and they also get rewards at the end of the year.

Everyone was overjoyed and visited Zhao Dong's family again, with a much better attitude.

Zhao Yurui came out to speak at this time, and [-] households will be recruited on the field, divided into mining group (Qin Dong is in charge), sorting group (Yan Miaorong), iron and lead smelting group (Shi Gouer), and copper smelting group (Quan Yong) ), the transportation team (Qian Wu), and everyone is in charge.

There are also several groups such as the patrol group (Luo Bing, a young man from the Wangfu, plus a strong man), the logistics group (Zhou Zheng, a young man from the Wangfu, plus a strong man), and the construction group (Cheng Pingan, a young man from the Wangfu, plus a strong man).

Among them, there will be more able-bodied people for mining, a small amount of able-bodied and middle-aged people are used for iron and copper smelting, and a small amount of able-bodied women and young people are used for transportation and logistics. In short, they are allocated reasonably according to labor demand.

Starting tomorrow, a wall will be built along the periphery of the mine. The wall is three meters high, and there will be a first-floor sentry every [-] steps, which can be seen outside the wall.

After the wall is built, houses will be built a hundred steps away from the wall for future use.

The task of the construction team is relatively heavy, and they are also responsible for road repairs. The roads and small roads for transporting mineral materials have to be rebuilt, all the way to the wharf.

Among the [-] households, there are about [-] mining households, which are divided into [-] groups, and the monthly evaluation is carried out according to the amount of mining. The bottom five groups in the month will be voted by themselves, and the five households who do not concentrate on mining will be expelled, and then recruited.

The sorting group and the transportation group each have [-] households, and cooperate with each other to transport the mineral materials to various places, including boarding the ship. Also, every [-] households form a group.

There are [-] households in the iron (including lead) smelting group, and [-] households in the copper smelting group, each divided into [-] groups, using large furnaces.

There are [-] households in the patrol group, [-] households in the logistics group, and [-] households in the construction group, all of which are divided into groups of [-] households.

The [-] households are divided into [-] groups.

Each group has one team leader and two deputy team leaders. The team leader has more than one letter per month, and the deputy team leader has an extra five hundred letters per month.

Every six months, according to the results and output performance, the team leader and deputy team leader will be re-elected to ensure the survival of the fittest.

From the first month, from the 100 groups, each group will draw a strong one, and a group of [-] people will be trained by Qian Wu, Shi Gouer, Luo Bing, Zhou Zheng, and Cheng Pingan. .

The reason for the training is that if you become a mine nurse and pass the assessment, you can get a salary increase.

A group of 500 people, each batch of one month, can be trained in five months, and then gather [-] people and train for one month at the same time, which is exactly about half a year.

About 500 people were trained in the first half of the year. It was not a large-scale training. The purpose was to train hundreds of qualified queue leaders.

If you want to train on a large scale in the future, you only need to distribute these people, and each person leads a team, and thousands of people can be trained immediately.

For Zhao Yurui in the past two years, it was all about stability, don't make mistakes, and don't get caught.

As a clan, he trained 200 people, what happened?Such a large mine, do you not need guards?

Zhao Yurui clarified his distribution, and everyone's eyes lit up. If the arrangement of Zhao Dong's family is followed, the production volume may indeed be greatly increased.

But these things are easier said than done. Zhao Yurui estimates that it will take at least a few months to reorganize the mine, build walls, and recruit miners in the early stage. If you really want to fully operate according to your own ideas, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year. .

But he is still young and has time, so he can take it step by step.

After discussing the details with these people, Zhao Yurui brought Quan Yong, Wang Gou'er and other confidants to the side.

Boys like Wang Gou'er and Qian Wu originally signed a contract with Zhao Yurui for a few hundred yuan a month, but now their income has soared to [-] yuan a month. They kill someone, absolutely no one will hesitate.

Quan Yong is the person he trusts the most, and even a relative and good friend. Yan Miaorong is the person Quan Yong likes, and by the way, he is also arranged here. After all, there are many young men and women among the miners, so she can manage them.

"Quan Yong, you are the person I trust the most. This mine is also my most important base now. Do you understand how much responsibility you have?" Zhao Yurui said to him in a rare serious manner.

Quan Yong's face was flushed, and he opened his mouth and said: "The mine is in the human mine, and the mine is dead and the people are dead."

"Bah, bah, what the hell." Zhao Yurui picked up the fan and wanted to slap him, but Quan Yong laughed dryly and scratched his head.

"Yan Miaorong."

"Yes, King Yi."

"Give him more bone soup, let him bask in the sun more, and participate in queue training, otherwise he will grow taller. Look at me, I have grown a lot taller recently." Zhao Yurui scolded with a smile. He has kept up with his nutrition recently. He is also engaged in forging, and his stature is indeed growing.

A fierce look flashed across Quan Yong's face, who would dare to disobey me?I fuck him.

However, he knew that his cousin had put a lot of effort into this mine, and Quan Yong secretly vowed that he must manage it well and make money for his cousin.

But he didn't know that his cousin's goal was not to make money.

"In the first two years, you will train me 5 disciplined and elite miners." (It will be used as a squad leader in the future, and [-] people can be trained once it is expanded.)
"Priority is given to those who are mature and strong, and then those who have no elderly at home."

"Yes, King Yi." All the teenagers nodded.

Considering that this group of teenagers is only fifteen or sixteen years old and the most talented, Zhao Yurui asked them to give priority to the strong and strong ones around the age of eighteen to twenty.

Zhao and Rui were talking to them about the management of the mine all morning. He will not be able to come here often in the future. Many ideas must be instilled in them in a short time and they must be implemented in place.

Of course, Zhao Yurui had a lot of trust in their executive ability. His queue training and King Yi taught him to be obedient, obedient, and obedient.

Around noon, Zhou Lai came back, and Chen Songhe, the county magistrate of Shangrao, arrived.
