I lead the system to tease the First Emperor to build infrastructure

Chapter 117

"Qingliu, you should focus on the expansion of the workshop's enrollment."

She said while looking at the account book.

"It's your lord." Qingliu responded.

"Also, Baizhang Ling, I have seen that Xianyang's tax revenue has increased a lot compared to before in a few months, not to mention the workshops that go out to Datou, other things seem to have increased a lot."

She glanced at Bai Fang and asked, even if the tax for the workshop has increased, how come there are so many others.

"My lord, in the few months you were away, there were % more shops in Xianyang than before. Many businessmen from other counties went to Xianyang to set up shops, and the tax revenue naturally followed."

Bai Ping's complexion has been quite good in the past few months.

Although I am a little tired than before, the tax has increased several times, and the new account records are also very clear.

Finally, I no longer cry about being poor every day like I used to, and sort out a messy account.

"It turned out to be like this, um, I saw a lot more than before."

The increase of shops is visible to the naked eye, and it turns out that it also affects taxation.

Zhao Jun nodded, and read all the account books in his hand.

"You guys have worked hard. You have done a good job these past few months. I know that even if I am not here, everyone is in order. Thank you all."

She stood up and thanked solemnly.

Several commanders declined, not daring to dare.

"Okay, everyone is busy, we have to go to the workshop to have a look, so we won't stay."

They passed the inspection smoothly and were praised, and the commanders smiled and sent them out.

Soon, the two arrived at the papermaking workshop in a carriage.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhao Jun felt that the atmosphere here was not right.

There are many merchants' carriages at the door.

The workshop is full of enthusiasm, but everyone looks very tired.

She gave Qingliu a wink, and the two quietly entered the house without disturbing anyone.

Several rooms in the workshop were full of people, and there was a lot of waste to be cleaned up in the yard, which had not been transported away.

She quietly hid outside the window, and saw several strong men inside with their eyes closed, but their hands kept moving.

She frowned, somewhat understanding what was going on.

Qingliu was also very anxious, why did everyone look so bad after not seeing each other for several months.

Zhao Jun deliberately walked to the room of the women's workshop.

The work in this house is very easy, but there are also many elder sisters who are dozing off, with black eyes.

The two eldest sisters who were barely awake were talking in a low voice, their voices were no longer as loud as before.

"Sister Liu, we really can't do it like this. In the past two months, the time to leave work has been getting later and later, but the work has become more and more heavy. I haven't slept well for a month. I really can't go on like this. "

"Who's to say it's not? There's too much more work than what I did at the beginning, and the money hasn't increased. There's obviously not enough manpower. If this continues, I really can't do it anymore."

"What does the agent workshop owner think? I think he just wants to oppress us on purpose."

The conversations of several elder sisters confirmed Zhao Jun's conjecture.

She frowned angrily.

But I can't blame them, it's because I went out for too long and didn't notice.

She bowed her head and retreated into the courtyard.

Qingliu also understood, she blamed herself and was anxious in her heart.

"I didn't expect the workers to work so hard in the past few months. It's all my fault that I didn't expect it in advance."

"Okay, it's not just you, I didn't expect to go to the agent factory owner to see if he can do anything."

It is impossible for Zhao Jun to stay in Xianyang forever, and Qingliu cannot always manage the workshop.

Now the acting factory owner is no good, and there is no flexibility at all.

The situation was so urgent that he did not report to the Naishi Mansion.

Zhao Jun has already crossed this person silently in his heart.

"Okay, I'll take the adults there."

Qingliu has an office room in the workshop, and after leaving, let the agent work here.

Zhao Jun pulled Qingliu and stood by the window, interested in listening to this corner.

There is more than one person in the room.

Two men are talking.

She looked back at Qingliu and asked who was the acting factory owner.

Qingliu pointed to the young man in his twenties and nodded.

He had worked hard when the workshop was in trouble before, and he was able to read. There were not many people in the workshop who could read. Besides, the handover was rushed at that time, so she pointed him to be the acting factory owner.

"Factory owner, the people in the pounding group really can't do it anymore. They have the heaviest work in the workshop. They have been working day and night for several days. The big guys really can't stand it." gone."

It was another man who spoke, who seemed to be in his 40s.

"Zhang Gui, what can I do? If the higher-ups don't agree to recruit people, then you have to do it. Do you know how much the workshop earns every month? It really can't stop for a day."

"Factory owner, if this is really the case, then our pounders won't be able to do it. It will kill people."

"No, where can I find someone after you leave, I tell you that even if you die, you have to die in the workshop."

The man's tone of voice was very cruel, and he kept pointing his hands at the head of the uncle opposite, looking extremely arrogant.

The two watched his movements clearly by the window.

Qingliu's face turned pale.

"Well, he wasn't like this before, what's up now."

Qingliu couldn't believe it, this person was obviously a polite scholar before.

Zhao Jun shook his head.

"Power and desire change a person, you have to remember that."

Zhao Jun had already expected such a situation.

"Yang Shu, let me tell you, don't think that being an agent factory owner is a big deal. This workshop is not yours. I'm going to the Neishi Mansion to seek justice from Miss Qingliu."

The uncle turned his head angrily and wanted to come out.

"If you dare to go, I'll tell you that girl Qingliu is not in Xianyang, and you can't even enter the gate of Neishi Mansion. No one will care about you."

Yang Shu was not afraid at all, and even spoke triumphantly.

"Really, who said no one cares."

Zhao Jun kicked open the door.

The two inside turned to look at her instantly.

Zhao Jun stared at Yang Shu with blazing eyes.

I haven't made it into Huang Shiren yet, but you did last week's skinning first.

"My lord, it is my lord who has returned."

The middle-aged man cried out in surprise.

Yang Shu's face was pale, and Qingliu's resentful eyes not far away seemed to want to eat him.

It's not that I won't come back this year, why suddenly now.

Yang Shu kept thinking of excuses with a pale face.

"Uncle, arrest him for me."

Zhao Jun pointed to Yang Shu and said.

Yang Shu is a thin scholar with the body, how can he beat an uncle who has been doing heavy labor all year round.

Not long after, Yang Shu was caught.

"My lord, I caught it, what should I do now."

Zhang Gui looked at Zhao Jun with clear eyes.

He was very excited, just now the lord suddenly appeared here like a ray of light and saved him.

"Drag him out to the yard and tell everyone to shut down and quit."

Zhang Gui nodded and quickly dragged the person out.

The grown-ups must be speaking in the yard.

Zhang Gui was excited.

As soon as he went out, he couldn't wait to shout.

Zhao Jun still did not move at the door.

Qingliu was in a complicated mood, blamed herself and was angry. After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhao Jun hadn't moved yet, she came to Zhao Jun's side suspiciously.

"What's the matter? My lord."

"Take it easy, my kick hurts a bit..."
