Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 708 Scientific Management Revitalizes the Economy

After listening, Mo Zi looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression.

I wondered what was wrong with this boss? Could it be that he didn't even understand the traditions of the mine?

Therefore, the mined jade was divided into three portions and stored in three warehouses.

They were loaded onto separate trucks and sent away.

One meal of rice a month, one meal of meat every six months, and eight hours of mining every day.

Could it be that the rules have changed?

So he said, "Master, this is the rule. Otherwise, if these clothes are ruined, what will we use next time?"

Rules? Chu Chen laughed after hearing that.

"Hey everyone, don't take off your clothes, and don't rush to mine. Brother Mozi, come with me for a second."

After saying that, Chu Chen led the millstone over and then plopped down on the stone.

He immediately asked, "Brother Mozi, tell me, what rules did we have before?"

After listening, Mo Zi looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression, and then earnestly explained to him the rules that Li Mu had previously established.

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that Li Mu was truly insatiable.

However, none of this concerns me.

But one thing is very important.

The reason Li Haoran gave him the mine was because its output had always been low.

So he didn't feel too much heartache when he gave it to Chu Chen.

However, what Li Haoran didn't know was that Li Mu only handed over one-third of the mine to the Li family, and that's how it happened.

This mine is actually a good thing.

This was an unexpected surprise for me.

So he said to the millstone, "Brother Millstone, we need to change these rules from now on."

"Oh, is this the rule?"

“That’s right, I will send some people to manage it later.”

“These people only recognize rules and don’t care about personal feelings, so once it’s agreed upon, you have to do it according to my requirements.”

"However, your efforts will not be in vain. First of all, I will provide you with rice every day, meat once a day, and wine once every three days."

Upon hearing this condition, Mo Zi looked at Chu Chen in disbelief, wondering if his new employer was just there to make fun of him.

With meat and rice every day, and alcohol every three days, this isn't work; it's just enjoying life!

Chu Chen ignored his surprise and continued, "Each person will receive four sets of clothes per year, two thin sets and two thick sets, as well as two sets of quilts."

"Each person works four hours a day, and we adopt a shift system. There are twelve hours in a day. I want you to work in three shifts. If there are not enough people, I will recruit more people to ensure that we are mining at all times."

"That's all I can think of for now, but there's only one requirement: absolutely no slacking off or smuggling anything out."

"As for wages, let them decide."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zi thought to himself, "With such conditions, who wouldn't be happy?"

They work four hours a day, and not only do they eat well and dress warmly, they also get paid.

Thinking that such a good thing meant that as long as the boss released the information, all the poor families in Jinluo County would probably come here.

“Master, I’m a rough man and I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”

"But as long as you give us these conditions, who would dare to slack off or cause trouble? I'll break their legs."

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this.

Then he walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, Brother Mozi, from today onwards, you are the leader of these miners, and I will give you three times the wages of a regular miner."

"However, the premise is that you manage them well for me. If you don't, I believe there are plenty of people who want to take your place."

After saying that, Chu Chen walked out of the barracks and gave instructions to Chu Yi.

"Drive out and buy a few pigs. We'll give them a nice treat tonight!"

After Chu Yi left, Chu Chen, along with Fifteen and Sixteen, began to inspect the mine.

According to Brother Mozi, this mine has abundant reserves.

If mined at full capacity, it would be no less valuable than those royal mines.

In this way, Chu Chen will have to start thinking about management matters.

As for the management personnel, Chu Chen still intends to use artificial humans.

These people are loyal, and their consumption is not high.

Furthermore, as long as the quantity is sufficient, there are absolutely no safety issues.

Send three to five hundred men to garrison the area, along with three to five hundred machine guns. Even if a god-level expert came, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Once these problems are solved, the next step is speed.

So, Chu Chen called Mo Zi over again.

Then, after giving him some silver, he was told to go back to the village and recruit people.

To prevent him from escaping, recruit someone and give him a commission of two hundred coins.

Moreover, he was allowed to take ten people out with him. For each person he recruited, he would receive a commission of two hundred coins, but the commission would be distributed uniformly by the miller.

Upon hearing that Chu Chen had offered him such a great job, Mo Zi almost jumped for joy.

So he was about to take his people out when Chu Chen stopped him.

He was told to finish tonight's feast before going.

That night, the entire mining area was bustling with activity.

After Chu Yi finished explaining the new rules for the mine, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from below.

Everyone looked at Chu Chen and the others on the stage with gratitude.

You should know that these people were so poor that they were about to starve to death, and that's why they were brought here to eke out a living.

Chu Chen's action gave them hope for life again.

While everyone was eating, drinking, and having fun,

Chu Chen vanished from the place in a flash and arrived in the back mountain.

Then, with a wave of his hand, five hundred machine gunners appeared in front of Chu Chen.

"Come here. Your main purpose in being here is to manage the mine, maintain order, manage production, and ensure safety."

Chu Chen pulled over the leader of the androids and began to explain things to him.

The next moment, he led these people into the mine and had them hide.

The next morning, Chu Chen brought five hundred people to the crowd.

Chu Yi and his two companions, unfazed by the sudden appearance of five hundred machine gunners, walked to the side.

Even if Chu Chen were to conjure up a person right now, the three of them wouldn't be surprised; they were already used to it.

The miners looked at the neatly arranged 500 soldiers.

Only then did they realize that what Chu Chen said last night was true. He could make them very comfortable, but if there were people who wanted something for nothing, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Looking at the gleaming steel swords at the soldiers' waists and the imposing aura they exuded.

Everyone abandoned any thoughts of taking shortcuts or using tricks.

If you get caught by accident, it won't be fun.

These people are clearly martial artists from the city.

Killing your own miners is like killing chickens, and you have no recourse for justice.

Five days later, Chu Chen stood on high ground, looking at the orderly and busy miners, and silently nodded in approval.

Looking at the continuous stream of jade essence being sent to the warehouse, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Next, I guess we'll have to go to the central city again."

After all, if the Li family rebels, then I'll have to use cannons to clear the way and raid the palace.
