Chapter 49: Spending Money of All Kinds

The purchase of 100,000 chicken coops immediately mobilized the women and children of every household in the three townships, the children went to cut the weeds and cut the fine wattles, and the adults made chicken coops at home.

If you are fast, you can make more than a dozen a day, and the purchase price of each chicken nest is two yuan, and you can earn about 20 yuan a day.

Tea plantations and peach orchards have recruited a group of forest rangers locally, in addition to patrolling, but also to help take care of tea gardens and peach orchards.

The tea garden also recruited a group of gardeners, who usually weeded and loosened the soil to prune the tea trees, and as for watering, it was exempted and could only rely on the rain.

According to Li Dongwen's meaning, the tea garden should recruit at least 1,000 forest rangers, and each person will take care of 100 acres.

This proposal was unanimously rejected by Zhou Yingliang, the director of the tea factory, Zhang Qian, the chief engineer and Zhang Junru, it is too wasteful, and the tea tree does not grow gold, who will steal it?

It is more than enough for one person to take care of a thousand acres, mainly to prevent wild boars from harming the tea trees, and the tea garden is fireproof, and a hundred forest rangers are a bit much.

In this way, Li Dongwen's employment plan was strangled alive by a group of people.

Li Dongwen didn't care about it, and said in his heart that you wait and see, and when the tea goes on the market next year, you will know that the tea tree can grow gold, and sooner or later you will have to increase the number of guards.

The gardeners of the tea garden, each person takes care of 1,000 acres is nonsense, Li Dongwen's idea is that 10 acres of land per person is about the same, so that 100,000 acres of tea garden, gardeners need tens of thousands.

Of course, this proposal was also rejected collectively, and each person took care of 50 acres of tea plantations, and also took care of raising chickens in the future. The team of gardeners of 2,000 people is actually quite a lot.

To build a chicken coop, Li Dongwen still had to invite someone, but he failed to do so.

Director Zhou said, we haven't made money yet, just spend money, save a little, let these 2,000 gardeners, each build five, take it slowly, anyway, wait for the chicks to hatch out, and then grow up, it's still early, and there is no hurry.

In this way, the tea plantation employed two thousand people. When the salaries of more than 2,000 people were set, there was a disagreement again, Li Dongwen pondered, why should it be a thousand yuan a month, Zhou Yingliang and Zhang Qian were against it again.

Boss Li, you can't do this, the workers in the county tea factory are only more than 200 yuan a month, if you set the salary like this, the tea factory will be difficult to manage, although they work hard in the tea garden, but it can't be too outrageous.

In the end, there was a compromise, tentatively set for 300 months, and then the tea company would increase its wages after the benefits of the tea company improved.

In just these three hundred months, it is also a breakthrough, and the nearby villagers are vying to sign up.

In the end, the three townships and villages were evenly distributed, and the gardeners were selected by each village, and they guaranteed to abide by the factory rules and regulations, and those who were hard-working were given priority, and those with family difficulties were given priority.

The salary of the tea garden is more than 600,000 yuan per month.

Taoyuan also needs gardeners and rangers.

Since the work content of the peach orchard is slightly different from that of the tea garden, a hundred rangers were recruited and a thousand gardeners were recruited. The wage level is the same as that of the tea plantation, which is to seek fairness.

More than 1,000 people were recruited from Duli Township and Machong Township, Taoyuan is in these two townships, and Chatian Town was very envious for a while.

Taoyuan's monthly fixed expenditure has increased by more than 300,000 yuan.

Another trouble in Taoyuan is that some places are a little far away from the village, and the food, drink, and sleep of the rangers and gardeners are all problems. It's easy to live in a good place, just build more cabins.

The key is the problem of eating, there is no open fire on the mountain, and only electricity can be used to cook rice.

For this matter, Taoyuan applied to the Shenniao County Electric Power Bureau and pulled over a special line, which is another expense.

Water is also a problem, Li Dongwen used it for another night, secretly digging more than a dozen small springs on the mountainsides on both sides of the valley, which can produce several cubic meters of water per hour, which is not as good as the flow of a faucet.

Although the spring is small, it can continue to produce water, and it is indispensable to bury more than a dozen spirit stones. Fortunately, it continued to rain lightly in the past few days, and no one paid much attention to it.

I just finished working on Taoyuan, and the winery is doing something again.

Li Dongwen once issued an order to purchase 10,000 tons of sorghum, and the information fed back by the distillery was that the task would definitely not be completed this year.

The distillery went out to run through the grain depots of several surrounding counties, and even the next door Guizhou Province, and the total purchase income was less than 300 tons of sorghum, which was too far from the target of 10,000 tons.

This year's sorghum has long been sold out by farmers and has basically been bought by big wineries.

Li Dongwen's winery started a little late. Besides, 10,000 tons of sorghum is not a small amount, sorghum, the yield per mu is not high, there are 1,000 catties per mu, basically a few hundred catties per mu.

10,000 tons, 230,000 mu of sorghum needs to be planted, and the sorghum planting area in the entire Xiangxi Prefecture does not have so many mu.

The winemaking industry is stranded this year, and we can only wait for next year, and this year we will build the cellar first.

As for sorghum, Li Dongwen found the director of the Shenniao County Agricultural Bureau and said that the distillery needs a large amount of sorghum this year, and the distillery can buy it at a high price and sign a purchase and sales contract, hoping that the county can call on farmers to plant a large number of sorghum.

The Agricultural Bureau of Shenniao County is also worried, Shenniao County, eight mountains, one water and one field, the county's cultivated land area is only how many acres, more than 300,000 mu, the average person per mu to land, this 10,000 tons of sorghum, all the cultivated land is planted with sorghum is almost the same.

In addition, not all arable land is suitable for growing sorghum, and some of it is paddy fields.

This matter could not be solved by one Shenniao County alone, and the county agricultural bureau quickly reported to the state agricultural bureau and asked for support.

The state agricultural bureau quickly replied, this is a good thing, the high price of the purchase, the farmers are naturally willing to plant, but your county must ensure the purchase, not to harm the farmers.

Li Dongwen waved his hand and doubled the price of this year, right? This year, two cents and five pounds, next year we will collect five cents and one pound, and it is no problem to give money first.

Next year's brewing material problem is solved, and the next step is the problem of the cellar pond.

A thousand cellar ponds have been almost excavated, and the cellar mud is taken from a Shazhou island in the lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, where it is said that the cellar mud made of soil is particularly good for winemaking.

The dirt isn't worth much, but the shipping costs a lot of money.

After pasting the cellar mud, I began to raise the pond.

Li Dongwen secretly buried some spirit stones under the cellar pool, including the original dozens of cellar pools, a total of more than 100 pieces, Li Dongwen was also ruthless, the immortal brew is too amazing, but the spirit brew must be made.

These more than 100 spirit stones are concentrated in the wine-making area, so that the air here has changed, and people working here seem to feel that every sweat pore is permeable a lot, and the whole body is comfortable.

Li Dongwen had just "renovated" the cellar here, and Tang Zhihua came to the door again.
