Chapter 319 Some trivial matters at home

I chatted with Lao Liu and Liu He for nearly an hour. At 11:20 at night, I saw Lao Liu and the others getting a little sleepy. Liu Yi led his wife to say goodbye to his parents and returned to the house. The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time and said some intimate private words, and then they both fell into their dreams.

No words all night.

The next morning, Liu Yiu got up early. While the sun had not yet come out and the weather had a rare coolness, he stretched out his fists and feet in the yard and moved for a while. He stopped when his body became hot and his forehead was sweating.

After taking the wet towel handed over by the maid next to him, Liu Yiuan wiped the sweat on his face and neck, then lay down on the chair, silently practicing the "Eternal Green Song" to adjust his breath.

"Young Master," When Liu Yi's exercise was over and opened his eyes, Liu Wuchen, who had been waiting beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to salute Liu Yi. After following Liu Yi for a long time, Liu Wuchen already knew very well about Liu Yi's habits, so he came to this yard early in the morning.

"Oh, Wuchen," Liu Yi sat up, looked at Liu Wuchen, and said with a smile: "I'm going to find you if I have something to do. There are no outsiders here. You should sit down and talk, and talk to you with your head raised. It's so tiring."

"Yes, thank you for yourselves." He looked at Liu Yi with gratitude. Liu Wuchen bent over and bowed his head to sit down next to Liu Yi.

"For these days when I am not here, thanks to you taking care of you, you have worked hard." Liu Yi looked at Liu Wuchen with a smile and said, "Well, please tell me about the current situation at home."

Just after returning from a business trip from another place, Liu You felt it was necessary to communicate with his subordinates.

"Young Master is so serious. As the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, these are all the duties that Wu Chen should do." After a few polite words, Liu Wu Chen took out a thin book from his arms and handed it over, saying respectfully: "Wu Chen came to find the young master, and it is precisely for this matter that the young master asked to take a look. These are the specific names and details of the big and small affairs in the mansion over the past month."

After Liu Yipeng took the booklet, Liu Wuchen explained to Liu Yipeng again: "The coal mine in Tuyi Village has officially become the family business of Liu's mansion. The emperor also personally issued an order to exempt the tax for three years. Wu Chen recruited some villagers' helpers in the local area according to the young master's previous instructions, and all signed a "labor contract". The coal mine had already entered the formal state ten days ago. Now it has started selling in several nearby counties, counties and villages. Because the coal in the "Liu Family Coal Floor" is easy to use and convenient, the total price is only a few points more than ordinary dry firewood, so the sales volume is quite good. In just ten days, the profit will be nearly 60 tons. I believe there will be more in the future."

It’s no wonder that their young master would have said that these charcoal was ‘black gold’. Judging from the current situation, this sentence is also good at all.

Liu Wuchen glanced at their young master with admiration. Only their young master had the ability to turn the useless stones that were used to become valuable treasures now.

"Well," Liu Yi nodded lightly, which was as expected by him. Coal was originally a consuming daily energy source, not expensive, but large in quantity, which meant that it was small profits but quick turnover.

Liu Yi's eyes looked carefully in the booklet. When he saw that the wages Liu Wuchen paid for the miners was only thirty-five cents a month, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The miners here were too cheap. One hundred workers only had less than four jin of silver in a month. Compared to the dirty and tiring tasks they had to do, well, it was indeed less.

However, even so, Liu Yiuan did not think about changing the wages and contracts. The matter of wages and contracts is about your own wishes. Since the villagers are willing to work in the coal mine, it means that they have accepted the price. This is not considered exploitation. Well, it can only be said that the ancients had different concepts of labor.

Moreover, the monthly wage of 35 cents is much higher than that of tenants, and it is not bad to put it in an ordinary household.

"Well, there is another bonus system for things in this coal mine." What are the half-year awards, full attendance awards, the largest labor awards, and the bonuses are the most touching. Liu Yiu thought for a moment, then turned his head to Liu Wuchen and said, "Every month, the top ten mining places with the most mining numbers will be given additional rewards of 100, 60, 30, and 100 yuan. Workers will be off for one day, and those who are unwilling to rest can get the appropriate overtime fee. A full attendance award will be set up. Those who can work on time every day every month will be given an additional reward of 5 yuan."

"Yes, young master," Liu Wuchen responded lowly, then looked at Liu Yiu and said, "But, will this be too high? Wuchen felt that the salary of 35 cents a month was a bit high."

Originally, Liu Wuchen was waiting for Liu Yi to ask him about his wages. After all, he had set such a high wage without discussing with his boss. The boss was inevitably confused. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi was thinking about setting up so many bonuses.

"Thirty-five articles may be a bit high, but if you can get a group of sincere employees, it is not a bad thing." Liu Yiu-touched Liu Wuchen and said with a smile: "There are also these bonuses that are a means to promote the hard work of subordinate employees. They are indispensable and indispensable. Moreover, compared to the monthly profit of coal mines, these are just some small money. Don't worry, you can just be responsible for making arrangements later."

"Yes, young master." Liu Wuchen nodded and bowed to Liu, remembering this matter in his heart.

"The tea trees in the tea garden are all okay. Did the heavy rain cause any losses?" Looking at the contents of the booklet, Liu Yiu asked Liu Wuchen softly.

"The tea garden is not in trouble overall, but because of the long-term soaking in the rain, nearly a thousand tea seedlings were drowned. Weng Yu has pulled out the tea seedlings and added some new seedlings, which has no effect on the entire tea garden. Don't worry, "Young Wuchen answered, "Also, the fields have now planted the vegetables that the young master requested, and now they have grown tender buds and are growing well."

"Well, when I came back, I saw that those vegetables were growing well." Liu Yi nodded gently. Now the surroundings of Liu's manor were covered with green patches, which looked very good.

"Li Dechen said that if there is no rainy weather the previous time again, these vegetables will be harvested in two to three months." Liu Wuchen chuckled and agreed, saying respectfully: "In addition, the tenants who still live in the manor have repaired their original houses and can move out of the manor today. Knowing that the boss has returned, they asked Wuchen to thank the boss on their behalf."

"Oh, I get it," Liu Yiuan closed the booklet, looked out, and said, "You can tell them later that the houses in the manor will belong to them sooner or later, but the premise is that they can work hard for the Liu Mansion. What I, Liu, said before, always count. Every year, the Liu Mansion will select a group of tenants to move into the manor."

"Yes, Master."

After looking at the sky, the rising sun had illuminated the entire sky, and the temperature had also risen a little. Sitting in the yard was already a little warm. Liu Yi sat up and waved his hand to give Liu Wuchen instructions. He turned around and returned to the room.

"Husband," Zhang Chuchu, who had just woken up, called out a lightly. At this moment, Zhang Chuchu was sitting upright in front of a bronze mirror, and Xiaoxi combed her hair.

"It's still early, why don't you sleep for a while?" Liu Yi walked over with a smile, took the wooden comb from Xiao Xi's hand, gently stroked Zhang Chuchu's black and smooth hair, looked at the pink face in Chuchu's mirror, and said warmly: "Let's let's comb your wife's hair for you."

"Well, thank you husband." Zhang Chuchu smiled sweetly and let Liu Yi comb her hair. Her husband was always so gentle and considerate.

"My wife is getting more and more beautiful," Liu Yiu still carefully sorted out her wife. She praised her from time to time. However, when he said something, Xiao Xi was blushing a little while listening to it, and Zhang Chuchu was blushing even more. But there was no way. Who made Liu Yi like to see his wife's cute appearance when she blushed?

"Yesterday afternoon, I had sent someone to Chang'an. My second uncle must have received the news at this moment. However, he rarely went out and was studying again. I didn't ask him to come back. Husband wouldn't blame me, right?" Zhang Chuchu stared at Liu Yi in the bronze mirror and asked him in a delicate voice.

"My wife is so worried," Liu Yipeng gently folded up Zhang Chuchu's bundle of hair and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Just let Eryi feel at ease. There is no need to come back, and no one will blame you."

"Thank you, my husband!" Zhang Chuchu said happily to Liu Yiu, saying, "Xiao Hui is now able to read the "Three Character Classic" without the 'Chinese Pinyin'. Well, Aman's calligraphy has also made great progress. If my husband saw the font he wrote now, he would definitely not believe it."

"And..." Zhang Chuchu was like a happy bird, chirping, constantly beside Liu Yi, telling the details that happened in Liu Yi's mansion during the period when Liu Yi left home.

When she was with Liu Yiu, she had more words. It can be seen that she was very happy now.
