The villagers of Zhangjiagou are all simple, and they are very satisfied with the real benefits Zhang Chao has brought them. Now, Zhang Chao's status in Zhangjiagou has risen sharply, and he can already be ranked alongside the respected village master, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang, the first official in the village.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ke also looked at Zhang Chao with admiration. Perhaps ordinary villagers could not realize anything. But both of them had seen the world. One was an officer and the other was the top leader in the village. They assisted the people in collecting taxes and arranging villagers to serve labor, etc., which was a very familiar with the organization.

They knew very well how amazing the things Zhang Chao did today were. Ordinary people could not organize such things at all, let alone the arrangements were seamless and fair.

Every arrangement of Zhang Chao seems casual, but it is very meaningful and has been scrutinized.

Because the purchase price of millet, wheat, red beans and red dates given by Zhang Chao is higher than the market price, and the agreement is to settle the bill immediately at the end of the month, the villagers are very happy to go home to pick up grain to sell. In order to thank Zhang Chao for hiring them, many villagers even left food and seeds for their families, and then picked up other grains.

The head of the grain collection team, the head of the grain collection team, immediately brought his subordinates, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, Li Zheng, and another old father in the village, to form a grain collection team of five people, and set up several fights in the village's large drying yard.

This is also for fairness and justice. Several families took the buckets together and measured each other. Finally, they selected the bucket in the middle to collect the grain. Each time they filled the millet, they took a piece of wooden board and scraped it flat, and they would never be so sharp. Such a bucket is a truly fair bucket.

After each quantity, register immediately. Then the father puts his handprint and the grain owner to put his handprint. Finally, he has to give a grain collection bill to the grain owner, and make an appointment to pay the grain money at the end of the month.

The market price of millet is 300 yuan per bull, but Zhang Chao is the one who takes the initiative to give ten cents more each bull. Ten cents may not seem to be much, but one stone is 100 yuan, and if you sell ten stones, it will be 1,000 yuan. Moreover, they are all from the villagers, and the money they use when measuring is fair and the amount is fair. Everyone doesn’t have to worry about sending it to the city to sell, and there is no need to worry about not being able to receive the food payment.

The villagers lined up to collect grains, wheat, red beans, and waited for the grain to be collected. As soon as the grain was collected, they were immediately sent to the warehouse. This warehouse borrowed a public warehouse in the village to serve as the temporary grain warehouse of the Zhang family.

After the grain was put into the warehouse, Zhang Chao began to arrange for people to register and get out of the warehouse and start processing.

Qi Niang became the manager of the women's group, and she managed the women in several groups and acted as a quality inspector. During each process, Zhang Chao asked them to handle the handover.

For example, grain inlet and outgoing are registered and verified.

The rice milling group takes grain out of the warehouse and starts to grind the rice in the milling house. After the first batch of rice is milled, it will be reweighted and registered immediately, and then handed over to the grinding surface for the next process.

Zhang Chao acted as the general manager and checked and inspected various processes.

"After sifting the dough, add another process and fry the flour in an iron pot and low heat."

Frying the noodles with millet can bring out the fragrance and make the yellow buns taste better. Now the reputation of the buns is good, but Zhang Chao requires more quality. Only by striving for excellence and maintaining a good brand can the yellow buns be made well and make the yellow buns the real first pot of gold.

Two little cats squatted on the firewood at the door and basked in the sun, while the three little black puppies followed Zhang Chao's footsteps. They followed Zhang Chao wherever they went, and they bit Zhang Chao's trouser legs from time to time.

From time to time, they rolled on the ground and chased and bit each other.

The people in the village were busy, and the sales team and the delivery team were not working yet, but they were unwilling to be idle. They simply believed that since they had brought Zhang Chao's bowl, they had to help Zhang Chao and could not eat dry food in their spare time. They helped to store the warehouse, transport grain, and even help split the ingredient and cook.

After a long time of busyness, the entire yellow bun assembly line finally successfully flowed.

Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief. This type of assembly line cooperation was pretty good. He thought it would be very messy, but he didn't expect that everyone was doing their own things seriously.

Ke Qiniang is worthy of being a noodle restaurant, so she manages the women in an orderly manner.

Ke Shan and Ke Wu are from the Zhangjia team engineering team. They watched the villagers busy making steamed buns and were bored. They took the initiative to help pull the sheep sent by the village to the side and slaughter them. Xiao Shisan and Xiao Ba were helping to kill chickens and geese.

This is also Zhang Chao's explanation. Today, the iron gun brand yellow buns have officially started construction, so I have to have a lunch to celebrate. At the same time, it is also a celebration of the official establishment of the Zhangjiaban engineering team.

Zhang Wu is a very experienced hunter, so he is extremely skilled in killing sheep.

Zhang Chao stood aside and watched them kill the sheep. Zhang Wu cut open the sheep's belly and took out the sheep's internal organs first. He ran out of the intestines. He called Xiao Ba, "Come on the intestines and clean them and take them out. Hurry up, wait for the blood intestines."

Blood sausage is also a traditional food for Qiang people. Take the newly slaughtered sheep intestines and wash them. Then pour the fresh sheep blood accumulated in the abdomen of the sheep, with flour and fresh mutton filling, tie it into multiple pieces with thread, and then put it in a boiling pot and boil it in boiling water. It won’t take long to make a delicious blood sausage.

Ke Shan carried two large kitchen knives and placed the two pieces of fat mutton that had just been taken from the sheep on the chopping board to chop it quickly. Ke Shan's mother brought flour to mix the freshly chopped meat filling.

"Sanlang, just now, many villagers said they wanted to ask us to help them build kangs and change stoves. Do you think when will we start?"

Changing a kang to change a stove is not a big project. A group of ten people can build a kang to change a stove in a day. There are about fifty families in the village. If five engineering groups start construction at the same time, five can be built in a day, and the stove in the whole village can be transformed in ten days.

"I'll talk to you later, make an arrangement, and after the agreement, we can start tomorrow." Zhang Chao said.

"Then how much does it cost to change a kang to a stove?"

How much is it charged? This is also a problem. If you collect too much, the villagers may not be able to afford it, or they are willing to bear it. If you collect too little, it may not be enough for Zhang Chao to pay the labor of the engineering team.

A project team must have a craftsman. Even if the other nine are calculated by ordinary workers, it is necessary to have two liters of millet and three meals a day. If you make a discount on three meals, you will have at least one liter of millet. That is three liters of millet per person a day. The craftsman must be at least three times that of ordinary workers, and that is nine liters.

The total wages for ten people in a project team are three dou and six liters, one liter of millet is 30 cents, and the total amount is 1,080 cents a day.

Zhang Chao always has to make some money.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao said, "Look at the way we pack the kang and change the stove, including repairing the large chimney, how about we collect five dou of millet. The protagonist does not need to provide food, but they have to make all the materials for building the chimney by themselves."

Five dou of millet can be almost equivalent to half acre of land. But ordinary families can still afford it, especially now that villagers have found a job to work for the Zhang family. If three families work for the Zhang family, they can earn at least six liters of millet a day and save the food for three people. The family can work for the Zhang Chao family for a month, and at least one stone of millet can earn a slaughter.

I changed the kang to a stove and the five dou of rice dumplings, and the family made money back after working in the Zhang family for ten days.

Zhang Chao collects five dou, which means that he can earn one dou and four liters a day for an engineering team. Five engineering teams are seven dou, and the discount is 2,100 yuan. This thing doesn’t cost much, just provide some technical guidance. He can even hand over this job to Keshan and Ke Wuliang disciples, so that they can do technical supervision. He doesn’t even need to participate. He can earn two thousand yuan a day with a job. This profit is really not small.

Think about it, the profit is indeed a bit high, and I have accepted the profits of the four recent ones.

In order to take on more business, turn all interested customers into real customers. Zhang Chao told Ke Shan and Ke Wu to ask Zhang Jiaban to change the stove. Then Zhang Jiaban accepts payment of various grains and cash payments. And it can be settled at the end of the month.

Zhang Chao even told them that they could pay with a mortgage.

"Mortgage payment? How to mortgage?"

"A mortgage means installment payment. For example, one-year or two-year three-year. One-year mortgage means that you can pay one year later, but you have to charge some interest. Two-year and three-year, the interest will be higher."

Ke Shan and Ke Wu were stunned, but they didn't expect that they could still do this.

The people in the country sometimes do get famine and debts, but the villagers also charge interest, and the longer the time, the higher the interest, which is not good.

"If you are familiar, business will be business. One code is one code. In fact, it is just borrowing money, but there is interest. Our mortgage is equivalent to borrowing money. We can set the interest slightly lower, such as one-year annual profit of 5%, two-year annual profit of 8%, and three-year annual profit of 12%. What do you think?"

The annual profit is 5%; the annual profit is 1,080 cents; the annual profit is 5%; the annual interest is only 54 cents; the annual profit is 8% for two years, and the total is only 172 cents. In three years, the monthly profit can reach one cent, the annual profit is 12%, and in three years, it is 389 cents; the average annual profit is nearly 130 cents.

But after careful calculation, this is not considered high-interest loans at all, nor is it a compound interest rate. Compared with the profits of lenders in this era, it is nothing.

You should know that nowadays, even the Tang Dynasty court directly lends interest rates as a common office expense for government officials in various places. There is also a special name called Gongshu.

Since the Northern Dynasties, the money of the government has been passed down to this day. The government has invested a lot of public funds as special funds to the city to make profits. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the first year of Wude began to set up the capital of the government, which was managed by the Lingshi of each state, and specially established the Lingshi of the Money-catching, which was to select those relatively wealthy businessmen from the market to serve as the Lingshi of the Money-catching.

Each person gives them a capital of less than 50,000 yuan for them to lend, and the government will charge a fixed monthly interest of 4,000 yuan, with an annual interest of nearly 100% of the principal.
