Chapter 3030 The cost is huge

Beihai County is poor, and even the Taoist priests are not rich. Some time ago, Yin He saw a small Taoist temple in the mountains when he went to the mountains to play and escape the summer, and he lived in the Taoist temple at that time.

He donated a sum of money, which was not a lot, but he had a good conversation with the Guanzhu. Before leaving, he sent his servants back to the county government office to scavenge two scriptures from Bai Shan and Zhou Man and give them to the Guanzhu.

So he gained the friendship of all Taoist priests including Guanzhu.

At this time, it was the autumn harvest, and there were not many fields in the Taoist temple. The Taoist priests harvested all the beans and rice, leaving enough food for themselves, and the rest was carried to the county town for sale.

When I entered the city, I picked up some wild vegetables to see Yin or.

They felt that other things might not be attractive to him, so these wild vegetables might still have an appetite for him.

Yin Or really liked it, not only he, but also Zhou Man and Bai Shan.

Although it was autumn at this time, the weather was still very hot, and the five of them felt their appetites widened after eating the crisp wild vegetables.

After eating happily, Bai Shan announced one thing, "When the autumn tax comes up, I will start the service order."

Before, he had thought about issuing a military service order during the short 20-day slack between the summer harvest and the autumn harvest, but at that time, firstly, the Xiaoliu Village robbery case occurred, and secondly, the weather was getting warmer, and he suddenly found Qingzhou. It's hotter than Beijing.

Therefore, one is to stabilize the hearts of the people, and the other is for the health of the people, so he did not issue the order according to the plan.

With bright eyes, he turned to look at Bai Erlang, "The county government will be responsible for their diet at that time. All you have to do is to inspect and make sure that the people below have not deducted their diet."

Bai Shandao: "The workload and diet arranged for them are based on the article we wrote when we were young. I also want to compare the efficiency of labor service over the years. If it is possible, I will report it to Your Majesty to improve the conditions of labor service."

He looked at Zhou Man.

Zhou Man nodded and said, "I will prepare some emergency pills and soup recipes in advance."

Bai Shandao: "It has to be cheap, otherwise our county has the money, and other counties may not be willing to spend so much to get it."

Bai Erlang, "It's just the cost of food and beverages, right? Can other states and counties agree?"

He is no longer a child, and the article they wrote when they were children was a good idea, but it cost a lot.

But Bai Shan said: "You can't just look at the cost and not the success of their labor. The servants don't need wages anyway. If it wasn't for the servants, they would have to pay extra wages in addition to food, and that would be considered high."

He felt that the value of the service order was much higher than the price they paid, so even if the cost increased, the yamen and the court still gained a lot.

Of course, the infrastructure built by the servants will eventually return to them.

Although he was working for them, Bai Shan didn't want to wrong them. Anyway, the cost of food and beverages came from the warehouse of the county government. He felt that he was still good at business, so he wouldn't even care for a group of servants. not live.

Bai Shan just opened his mouth to give the conditions, and then it was Fang Xiancheng who went to write the plan, and the specific implementation was naturally also the person under his hand.

Fang Xiancheng was very hesitant, glanced at the conditions of the white good service order, and asked, "Is your lord confirmed?"

Bai Shan nodded, "It's confirmed, the autumn tax will be collected in these two days, and every li is about to come to the county, so I will let them know first that there are many roads and water conservancy projects that need to be repaired this year, especially the entry and exit. The official roads of Dajiawa and Longchi must be repaired.”

Those two roads are not very good now, especially the road where everyone is drowning. It is full of potholes. Every time Bai Shan goes in and out, he rides a horse.

It may take a lot of manpower to repair these two roads.

Fang Xiancheng responded, and after thinking about it, he still reminded, "Sir, if you provide food and drink according to the list you gave, it will probably cost a lot. On the other side of the warehouse..."

Now the warehouse is no longer in charge of the chief bookkeeper Song. After Bai Shan took a bunch of salt to Qingzhou City to sell it, the warehouse was completely controlled by Bai Shan, not to mention Fang Xiancheng, not even the chief bookkeeper Song. Know how much money the county government has now.

Although Fang Xiancheng didn't know, he could roughly guess it, because the cost of the county government was too high recently.

Now they are still receiving a steady stream of people looking for jobs, in addition to people from other counties, there are also people in this county.

Some people's autumn harvest has ended, or is about to end, so they also have free time. I heard that the county government is recruiting workers here, and the wages are still paid every three days, so they came excitedly.

Of course, it is not all the people who come to 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 a month or two, and they will not accept it;

Then it was because the yamen was about to issue an order, so there was only one person in the family who refused to accept it.

But even so, there are still many people selected.

When Fang Xiancheng sometimes went outside the city and saw so many laborers, he was shocked. The stall was too big, and he was afraid that the county magistrate would tell him that the warehouse was out of money the next day.

With so much labor outside the county seat, once the noise is raised, it will be a big deal.

Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the money is enough now."

After being silent for a while, Fang Xiancheng nodded, then went out and took a list in, and handed it to Bai Shandao: "Sir, since the money is enough, why don't you buy something for the county government."

Bai Shan took the list and looked at it, frowning slightly, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be bought by the Song Master?"

Fang Xiancheng said: "Master Song has called back, and he said he has no money."

Bai Shan was displeased, "The county allocates a sum of money to the house he is in charge of every month, which is specifically to pay for the county government's expenses."

Now, all the expenses of the long-term workers go from Bai Shan's side, and he handed it over to Director Zhao Ming. But things like the salaries of the officials, the various expenses of the county government, and some regular expenses of the villages and li below are still from Song Zhuzhu.

Bai Shan turned over the previous account books and directly allocated money to Song Zhuzhu every month.

It is equivalent to the fact that the county government has two warehouses, one is managed by Bai Shan, and the other is managed by Director Song. For the purchase of office supplies such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you can directly contact Director Song.

It was rare for Fang Xiancheng to say a word for the Song Director, "Sir, paper is very expensive. Your paper expenditure for the past five months is the amount of Beihai County in the past two years."

Not only because of the large influx of people recently, but also because he had previously asked Lili to count the population, which required paper.

Bai Shan: "...It costs so much?"

Fang Xiancheng nodded, and because of the magistrate's habit of keeping everything on file for verification, there must be a lot of paper used in the next labor, so he mentioned buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone at this time.

"Last month, Mr. Cui took away a box of paper, and the day before yesterday, someone came over and pulled another box over." Not to mention the various pens and ink sticks, which cost a lot.

Cui Wei now lives in Longchi and doesn't move, and he needs a lot of paper to measure data every day and to draw.

Can Bai Shan be wronged by the boss of the Ministry of Industry whom he has worked so hard to invite in such a matter?

Today is too scum. I wanted to update the four chapters together, but I didn't write it out, so see you at nine o'clock in the evening
