The system Lin Ze mentioned is widely used and spread in the main world.

In terms of ensuring production efficiency, it is indeed extremely practical.

After listening to Lin Ze's system, Li and the three officials thought about it for a moment, and suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment.

Isn’t this the way to manage people with both rewards and punishments?

As officials, they usually use this method as they please, but everyone is like this. The core thing is obviously the same, but if it is expressed in a different way, it is completely unexpected.

But as long as someone clears the fog, they can quickly understand.

"If the salary is fixed, then it has nothing to do with how much you dig, and these miners will naturally slack off."

"The more you dig, the more you get paid, and you naturally work harder, even if the output exceeds two thousand kilograms, and you dig out more coal every day."

"However, Ziyi, your rules still need to be strictly enforced. If they are not enforced fairly, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect. If you want to record the output of these miners, you need a lot of people who know arithmetic and literacy."

After savoring it for a moment, Li He opened his mouth and said.

"I need my uncle's help here. I heard that many poor students in the county school have difficulty making a living and only occasionally take on some copying jobs to make a living. My mine can provide a lot of jobs for them to study.

Make ends meet."

Lin Ze said with a smile.

Scholars in the Zhou Dynasty generally studied in private schools.

After studying to a certain level and taking the county examination, you can become a scholar and enter the county school to study.

In fact, scholars do not study in county schools, they just name themselves and receive a salary to study by themselves.

In view of this situation, the existence of elementary schools was added to the county schools in this dynasty, and many children formally studied here to prepare for the examination of scholars.

The people Lin Ze wants to find Li He are those old boys, or scholars who have worked hard to become a scholar.

These people may not be able to pass the Juren High School Jinshi, but they are still capable of keeping accounts for the miners in the Linze coal mine.

"No problem. I'll tell the teacher when I get back and let the scholars who want to find a job to make a living come to Ziyi."

Li He nodded in agreement.

"It's getting late. I'll start to get busy tomorrow. There are still some things that need to be finished now."

"If the adults have something to do, you can leave first and come back here another day when you have time to check on the progress."

After chatting here, it was almost done. Lin Ze took a look at the sky.

If we set off now, we can still get back to the city before dark.

"Ziyi, I will arrange for people to transport the pickaxes and salt needed in the mine tomorrow. There are also blacksmiths. I will also arrange two for you to come with the pig iron. However, these materials are from the government-run workshops.

Whatever is produced must be paid according to the market price."

"In addition, I have made preparations for coal shipments. According to your instructions, Ziyi, I have built many coal furnaces. When you start producing coal here, I will help you contact buyers."

On the side, Gao Fei said.

This is what Lin Ze asked him to do when he inspected the mining area.

Lin Ze nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Ziyi, starting tomorrow, I will arrange for a team of 100 soldiers to patrol the official road between Fenglin Township and Fengping County."

Liu Pei also promised at this time.

"Okay, adults, please walk slowly."

Lin Ze said goodbye.

Next, the three officials got up and left in a carriage.

On Lin Ze's side, the second round of busyness began.

------------------

First, it is to settle the wages for building the coal mine.

The three engineering teams, including labor and design fees, spent a total of 80 taels of silver on Lin Ze.

The price is not expensive. After all, these master craftsmen are not only doing the work themselves, but also directing hundreds of young people to work. This is not something ordinary people can do.

In other words, Lin Ze just asked them to build some simple wooden houses, otherwise the project cost would be estimated to be at least ten or even twenty times higher.

Then there are the wages of many laborers who helped with the work. They worked for a total of three construction periods.

There are 304 people in total, and each person earns 100 wages per day.

The combined wages of these people are only 91.2 taels of silver. For so many people, one dollar is only slightly higher than the wages of the master craftsmen.

Lin Ze mixed the broken silver and copper coins he brought, paid the wages to the workers, took out all the remaining supplies, and asked the cook to use the remaining supplies to cook a good meal for everyone.

, as a celebration of the completion of the project.

"Elder, have you calculated how many young people want to work in my mine?"

Everyone was eating, and Lin Ze pulled Zhang Dayu, the head of Heishi Village, to ask.

"There are 304 young men who are helping to repair the house, and we have been asking around Fenglin Township in the past few days. A total of 615 people want to come. If it weren't for many old men like me who are not physically strong, they would also want to come to your house, Mr. Lin.

I'm working in the mine."

Zhang Dayu answered.

"Okay, you inform them to meet at the mining area early tomorrow morning."

Lin Ze spoke.

The conversation ended here, and Lin Ze arranged for a few servants to watch at the mining area as usual, and then started on the way back to the city.

Fenglin Township is less than 18 kilometers away from Fengping County, and it can be traveled within an hour at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

Although I have to come over tomorrow morning, there is no need to stay here in Fenglin Township tonight.

Besides, Lin Ze still has a lot of things to prepare.

------------------

Return to Fengping County.

After Lin Ze had eaten, he took a shower and changed clothes to wash off the dust from his body.

Then, he entered the study room and began to write a letter to ask the servants to run errands and contact them in advance for the supplies needed for the official start of work in the coal mine tomorrow.

In the study, the four maids stood quietly in a corner of the study. When they saw the last servant leaving, they immediately approached him diligently, and their soft little hands helped Lin Ze's shoulders and back.

"Looking at how diligent you are, are you getting along with your family? How many of you are coming to work in my coal mine?"

Lin Ze picked up the teacup, took a sip, and placed it on the desk.

He played with the smooth hair of the girl squatting beside him and asked with a smile.

"Ask me, sir, I have fifteen elders, parents and brothers in my family. If you need me, sir, you can come."

Feihua helped Lin Ze beat his legs and said softly.

"Hey, little greedy guy."

Lin Ze tapped the tip of Feihua's small nose, without saying either rejection or agreement.

"Master, I am indeed a little greedy."

While speaking, Feihua rubbed Lin Ze's palm with her fair and beautiful cheek, like a coquettish cat.

Xiangxue and Xia Ye, who were holding their shoulders behind him, did not speak, but Lin Ze felt that the two people who were holding his shoulders leaned forward, and there was a little more weight on their heads.
