No one who has personally visited a public toilet would not want to buy tiles.
After inquiring about the price, they found that the price of the tiles was too expensive for them even if they only wanted to build one room.
After learning the number and price of these tiles to build a room, Daniu decided to wait a little longer.
"Thank you, Steward Shi."
Shi Ji looked at him with a smile. He had a good impression of Da Niu. He was old and strong, and had decades of life experience. During this period, the other party helped him solve many problems.
"What are you going to do with the tile purchase rights?"
Da Niu was stunned and asked, "What else can I do?" If I can't afford it, I can just wait a few years.
He believed that as long as he was led by adults, his family could afford to live in the brick house for one day.
That’s right, he decided to buy bricks as well, otherwise how could the mud house match the tiles?
If I can build a brick house before I die, my life will be worth it.
After receiving his father's advice, Shi Ji reminded him, "Your Excellency must know that ordinary people can't afford to buy too many tiles, and if we only buy a few tiles, they won't be of much use. So why do you think Your Excellency gave you the right to buy tiles?"
His father said that the adults were kind and had always claimed that he had not paid the civilians and had treated them unfairly, so he used this to compensate them.
When he learned of his father's thoughts, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Other nobles were not only not given food, but also had to bring their own food to work.
The adults provided three meals a day, and meat every other day. Even the time-consuming and delicate tofu could be made into various delicious dishes for the common people. However, this was not enough for the adults.
It is a blessing for all the people in the city to be able to live under the rule of such a great man.
He glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said silently in his heart: I hope you live a long life.
Although Da Niu was illiterate, he was not really stupid. After Shi Ji's suggestion, he figured it out.
With eyes wide open, he asked, "Will your Excellency allow us to sell the right of first refusal for the tiles?"
Shi Ji nodded. "Ordinary civilians don't have money, but those businessmen do."
"The master has always felt guilty for not being able to pay you. Selling the priority purchase rights of tiles will be your wages." He had to make these people understand the master's painstaking efforts.
Daniu was quite shocked after hearing this. During this period of time, he also realized that the Lord was indeed a kind nobleman.
Except for some jerk things he did when he first came, but he made up for it in the end.
"Sir..." Da Niu's lips moved, and he was speechless for a long time.
In his decades of life, had he ever met such a kind nobleman?
Shi Ji said, "Go tell everyone that no one can afford to buy tiles, but the merchants and small families can. They have plenty of money, so don't sell them cheaply."
…
Da Niu immediately shared what Shi Ji had told him with everyone, causing a huge uproar.
It's not just Da Niu who has asked about the price of tiles. Most people plan to buy them when they can save enough money to win, and forget about it if they can't.
Before they could be surprised for long, a businessman came to their door and asked if they were willing to sell their right of first refusal for the tiles.
These merchants also went to the workshop to ask about the price, but the price of the tiles was not worth mentioning to them. The difficulty was that they did not have the right to purchase.
The workshop manager said that currently these tiles will only be sold to those who have done work and have priority to purchase them. The other tiles will be used to build public facilities and will not be sold for the time being.
They don't understand what public facilities are, but they know they are not eligible to buy them.
Just when they were about to give up, a clever businessman paid some money to get some information.
They didn't have the right of first refusal to buy tiles, but the common people who had worked there did! They could spend money to buy the right from the common people.
As a result, many merchants came to the door.
It just so happened that a group of people were at Da Niu's house, and they didn't have to run around much, as their priority right to purchase tiles was directly bought out.
The merchants got the right to purchase tiles, the people gained more wealth, the brick and tile shop made money for the city lord's mansion, and An Jingzhi also won the hearts of the people, achieving four goals at one stroke.
In this era, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce had not yet begun, and merchants lived better than ordinary people.
They had no rights, and all the money they earned was spent on material enjoyment. An Jingzhi knew from the beginning that once tiles and bricks came out, these people would definitely be his first customers.
Although they lived better than ordinary people, their roofs still leaked, just less.
Wang Sanwa is the manager in charge of brick and tile production. During this period, all the bricks and tiles they produced were used to build public toilets, and the remaining ones were all saved.
Seeing the person who had come to ask about the price of tiles and bricks before coming again, he put on a smile and walked towards him.
The adults said that when someone came to buy bricks and tiles, they had to be polite and make the person happy. They couldn't let the person feel that the adults were forcing them to buy something, which would damage the adults' reputation.
Wang Sanwa's politeness made the group of businessmen feel a little flattered. They all told the number of bricks and tiles they needed. Those who came early could take the bricks and tiles away from the scene, while those who came late could only pay a deposit and go home and wait.
They were a little worried that the adults would embezzle all their money, but when they thought about their behavior during this period, they realized that they were even willing to provide three meals a day for the common people, so they should not be so greedy as to embezzle such a small amount from them.
An Jingzhi looked at the city planning map. The problem of public toilets had been solved. He not only built one in the outer city, but also built several in the inner city.
Public toilets can also provide many jobs for these civilians.
These manure pits can also be used as compost fertilizer in the future.
He called the old housekeeper and asked, "How are the bricks and tiles selling?"
The old butler replied respectfully, "Master, merchants have been coming to buy bricks and tiles since yesterday."
"The tiles are still available, and pre-orders for bricks have already begun."
"Are they still busy over there? Do they need to send more people?" An Jingzhi asked.
The old butler said, "I was just about to report this to the master. Steward Wang has already told me that we are a little short of manpower."
An Jingzhi nodded and said, "Go ask the family if there is anyone who wants to work in the brick and tile shop."
A noble's mansion has too many people to support, and these are just for show, but in reality they are not used most of the time.
The old housekeeper knew without asking that there would definitely be people vying to work in the brick and tile shop.
Everyone in the mansion knows that the treatment at the brick and tile shop is good now.
How much money you can earn every day depends entirely on how much you can burn. The more you do, the more you earn. The daily meals are not bad, and sometimes you can get bonuses if you do well. Now all the workers in the brick and tile shop have saved some money.
