Chapter 16 Establishment of the Chamber of Commerce
At noon, the horse team that had been stationed in Shigang Village came back and brought back a lot of bacon. It turned out that the pigs were frozen to death on the way to www.biquge.info and were all bled to Shigang Village by the soldiers and made bacon, which also indicates that the horse team can travel back and forth between the village and the village in one day in the future, but you can't bring too much things with you to run on horseback.
After learning that there was still a lot of bacon in Shigang Village that had not been delivered, Qingsong asked the horse team to send someone to Shigang Village again to tell them that the bacon would be given to Shigang Village for the New Year.
There were still two days left until the Spring Festival, and the green brick road to Shigang Village was completed, and all the workers returned to the village. Qingshi also came back from Jinsha City, and he still brought 300 ingots of gold, and I don't know what method Niu Nan used to pay off the arrears in a short time! In the following days, everyone stopped working, and they ate every day until the third day of the first lunar month before they began to build new houses again, and the convoy also went on the road again.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are 30 new houses and more than 10 semi-finished products. It was time to let the workers go home, and there was another meeting in the backyard. First of all, the family elder council system was established, and the uncle, Aunt Cuihua, and Liangpi's mother were invited as the guests of the first generation of the elder council, so that the village over 50 years old and the fifth generation became elders to assist the head of the family in managing the village and the new city and promote new mathematical calculation methods; let the workers who went home pick two jars of wine and carry a piece of bacon back to Jinsha City, and each of those who were willing to pick up wine would be given an extra one or two pieces of silver; let Da Qingpi take the ruffians to escort the wine to the Liangpi Terracotta Division for storage, and the bacon was given to them for them to take home, and the ruffians each accompanied a horse and instructed them not to overwork the horses。 After arriving at Jinsha, you have to pick up the family room, and if you don't have a family, you have to go to other counties around to find out the news, no matter how much news you get, in March, before April, you have to return to the village to summarize. After Daqingpi took the workers on the road, the house was vacant, and the ten new houses around the big yard were cleaned out, three were divided into Cuihua's house, Liangpi's house, Lifudian, and one building was used as a school, six of which were left to be used as a warehouse, and these ten buildings should be completed as soon as possible The courtyard wall should be completed, and all the new houses that have been completed will be equipped with kitchens and thatched houses without building livestock pens. The backyard brewing hurriedly made all the wine that could be produced, and Qingsong and Qingshi took the transport team to pull down Shigang Village and let Xiao Gang and Hei Niu go out with him; Xiao Gang was about to reach his fourth birthday, and there was no need to do it, in order to prevent someone from calculating Xiao Gang's birthday, cancel all of Xiao Gang's birthday celebrations before he grew up; after the transport team arrived in Shigang Village, ten people and veterans followed Qing Song, and the others immediately returned with supplies, and after returning to the village, they then pulled 2,500 pieces of soap made by Xiao Gang to Shigang Village, and the convoy from Shigang Village followed them to Jinsha City, and the Shigang Village convoy also returned to Shigang Village with goods after arriving in Jinsha City, so that the transportation could continue to operateIn order to make soap, we should vigorously develop pig breeding in Jinsha County, and specifically let Qingsong go to talk to Jinsha County; other counties are too far away, and there are not enough people in the family to do business with them, if they can recruit suitable ones in Fengxian County and Jinsha City, they will give them some special goods to sell to the whole country; Niu Nan, this guy, this time the funds were returned so quickly, only three days to make up enough three hundred gold, Xiao Gang specially proposed that Niu Nan can be an agent for low-grade wine, but this time he may have transferred the wine to the big business, if the big business got the wine, it is really likely to be sold to the capital, everyone should be prepared to negotiate with the king in advanceIt is best to ask someone to offer middle-grade liquor to break the pattern before the king sends an edict to ask; there is a serious shortage of carpenters and prepare to go to Jinsha City and Fengxian County to recruit some carpenters, and if you meet a good blacksmith, you must also recruit some more, and open up flat land outside the village to build a carpenter's compound and a blacksmith compound under the control of your uncle; in Jinsha City and Fengxian County, find a scholar with management ability to serve as the school and principal of Xiaogang's words; Aunt Cuihua will process the coarse salt transported back in the front yard, If it succeeds, the Council of Elders will immediately allocate yards in the six warehouses to be used as seasoning workshops; an emergency resettlement office will be set up, and if the number of veterans relocated from the Fengxian County camp is too large, the emergency department will be activated and a large amount of money will be allocated to carry out temporary resettlement at the transfer station, Shigang Village, and even Jinsha City; when the weather is not completely warm, let the village organize people to remove all the hornet's nests and honeycombs on the surrounding hillsides, and the honeycombs will be brought back to artificial breeding.
After the meeting, Qing Song took Xiao Gang and Zhu and was escorted by the horse team to Shigang Village. In the evening, the horse team arrived at Shigang Village, and the villagers held a small party to welcome the old man Qingsong again.
Qingsong let his cheap nephew announce: After March, those who want to participate in the transportation in Shigang Village must change to a healthy horse cart, and adult men in Shigang Village can participate, and those who have no money to buy horses can borrow money from the village without collecting profits, and those who can't find the source of horses can organize the purchase together. Qing Song asked the pillar to take out a tube of pure honey and give it to Muramasa to recuperate.
After resting for a day and two nights in Shigang Village, a convoy of 20 carts from Shigang Village set off for Sands City again. Arriving at Jinsha City at noon, the Jinsha County Commander personally brought the Jinsha County squire to greet him and set up a feast at the county office. During the banquet, it turned out to be a three-grade immortal drunk, and when I asked, I learned that since it was sold by Liangpi, the squires learned that Qingsong wanted to do some business with Qingsong in Jiancheng, and through various relationships, Liangpi gave the bluestone to his immortal drunk and let out the three altars. It didn't count the three golds, but also promised that in the future, if Liangpi recruited the carriage and horses, he would fully cooperate. Liangpi has been a soldier and horse envoy here for five years, and has never received the full help of the squires, and he is happy to let go of the immortal drunk he hid.
Since the county magistrate has personally taken the lead, Qingsong will also give some money-making things for the squires to do, and after thinking for a while, Qingsong said: "You are all villagers in the township, and everyone can make money if you have money! I have a few things to do here for Jinsha County; this year we are going to buy a large number of live pigs, and there will be more than last year! I have an idea, everyone has to pay taxes for feeding pigs, and every pig killed must be handed over to the government for a similar pig tax deduction! Can we in Xincheng pay two coins to help the people pay taxes? When the government collected the pig tax, it collected the people's pigs, but gave the market price relative to the silver money, and the money was obtained by the government. Then our family will buy some surplus fat pigs from the government at a price one percent higher than the market price!" After speaking, he looked at the county order, and the county order also thought for a moment and said: "It is feasible! In this way, the people in the county will greatly increase the number of pigs, and after the production of fat pigs is high, the amount of fat pigs handed over by the county can be easily completed, and the extra pigs will be exchanged for silver and two coins and handed over at the same time! The government has increased the income tax money, and the people have obtained more than double the profits of fat pigs in previous years, which is beneficial to the country and the people! But there may be tens of thousands of more fat pigs, can Lord Qingsong guarantee to buy them at full price?"
Qingsong replied according to the discussion with Xiaogang in Shigang Village: "I must buy it at full price, and our family will take out the money to ask the county to build a slaughterhouse and a pork processing workshop outside the city." We pay a suitable wage for each fat pig slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, and a large pond is dug outside the slaughterhouse to store manure or give it away or sell. In the processing workshop, we will make meat products with the best processing methods, which will taste good and can be stored for more than two months in the summer without spoiling. If you are interested in the processed meat, you can ask the prefectural order to be a witness, write down a note, and sell it on credit. After these two places are built, they will be handed over to the squire of the line to take care of, but they must be done strictly according to our requirements, and the quality cannot be wrong. We can't sell what we want to others, we don't participate in management, and it's up to the managers to take care of their own profits and losses. ”
After scanning the gentry in the audience, the county magistrate said: "The capital is out, the method is out, and the things made are all covered." If you really lose money and get home, don't have anything to do with the county in the future!" The squires laughed; "If you can lose money like this, you really don't deserve to associate with us, let alone with the county magistrate!" "What Lord Qingsong said is for the benefit of the country and the people, can I not sell the fertilizer in the manure tank and use it for my own use?" "Do you have enough fields at home?" Is it true that Lord Qingsong will ensure that the price of the processed meat does not fall below the market price, and then I can sell it as much as I want?" "This is a big business, and at the end of the year, one or two of the millions of catties of meat will not be able to do it! How can we distribute it? Don't everyone huddle together and hurt each other's feelings when the time comes!" As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly cooled, and they all looked at Qingsong and asked him to plan the details.
Qing Song shouted: "Everyone can eat at ease, after the meal, I will come up with specific methods to ensure that everyone will not run over each other!" After the banquet was over, the county order did not shy away from anything, so he set up a large table in the county office and asked Qingsong to discuss various matters in detail. Qing Song asked the pillar to take a map drawn on self-made paper and pointed to the surrounding neighboring counties: "These places are adjacent to our county, although the road is broken, but the market value is limited, let the weaker friends do it, and the specific distribution depends on how many people participate." He pointed to Fengxian County again: "This is the nearest medium-sized city, and there is a large military camp next to it, and the road is short, so it is best to have three or five friends who have close friendships to do it together!" and pointed to the county towns and counties that are farther away: "These cities located in the east, west, and north have large and small contacts, and they can often be done for a month or two, but the interests are rich, and friends with strong strength and abundant family resources should do it!" and looked up at the county order: " The county magistrate is the superior candidate, who knows the background of each family, and can quickly issue official approval documents, and even introduce local parents! But these chores have nothing to do with the county decree, and I propose that everyone take out one percent of each transaction to do the labor fee of the county government, and the county government will set up the Jinsha County Chamber of Commerce as the first president, what do you think?"
There was no unsightly opposition, and everyone said yes! The county magistrate prevaricated and accepted it with a smile! Qingsong asked the pillar to bring two boxes of soap and distribute them to the squire and the county magistrate, saying: "This thing is called soap, and it is used for washing clothes and can also be used to cleanse the body." Wouldn't it be nice for you to bring back to the women of your family to have the good name of cherishing the women of your family, and to reduce the resistance in everything you can do in the future?"
Everyone was overjoyed and asked how to use it, and Qing Song answered them one by one, and asked the squires to help find scholars who were willing to teach in the new city. That night, he slept in Jinsha County, and at dawn Liang Pi personally led a convoy of thirty carriages to escort Qingsong to Fengxian County. The squires and the county order sent Qingsong out of the city to the official road, and then returned to the city, showing their magic powers, and discussing the details with the county order.
