Chapter 1239 Develop agriculture and build silk factories
♂,
When Zhang Cheng heard it, there was only 1o thousand taels, so he would not have a problem, but Zhang Cheng had a question: "Lord Long, how much can this one percent of the shares be divided every year?" What Zhang Cheng asked was also what everyone wanted to ask, Long Xiao said with a smile: "The profit of the distillery is 5o thousand taels per day, one percent is 5ooo taels of silver, a month is 150,000 taels, and a year is 18o thousand."
Zhang Cheng was startled when he heard it, and he invested 1o thousand taels, and a year later it was 18o thousand taels, isn't this picking up silver on the ground? The main bookkeeper Xing Mantang is very county Chengwu also thinks it is inappropriate, so it is too stained, and he is not happy to go. The main bookkeeper Xing Mantang: "Lord Long, this is not good, we are too stained, and you are too bad, so let's take another 9o thousand taels per person, enough 1oo thousand taels, and feel more comfortable, otherwise, this is not enough righteousness."
When Long Xiao heard this, a few of them were quite righteous, and they even took the initiative to take the silver, and their hearts moved, it was better to build another factory, and the silver would be useful. All along, Long Xiao wants to show agriculture, the people of Shenwu County have always been farming, there are no cash crops, this is for the people, life is not good, Shenwu County has water conservancy facilities, growing food is not a problem, and it can only be solved by food and clothing, if you want to make the people of Shenwu County really rich, you must let the people have money to spend. Long Xiao also inspected that the climate of Dalu County is very suitable for the mulberry hemp industry, especially the mulberry silkworm, which is a way to get rich quickly. Long Xiao: "Everyone, since you have idle silver, I don't think you should invest in the distillery, the distillery has enough silver, I think it is better to build another silk sheath factory."
County Chengwu was stunned when he heard this: "Lord Long, what is the silk sheath factory?" , Long Xiao laughed when he heard it, he spoke the language of his previous life, and they definitely didn't understand: "Hehe, it's a silk factory, you must understand how to make silk", Long Xiao said this, and everyone understood. Xing Mantang, the chief bookkeeper, knew something about silk, so he asked Long Xiao: "Lord Long, the silk factory is very profitable, but it is also very troublesome, and it needs the people to plant and breed, it is a one-stop service, what does Lord Long mean?"
Long Xiao explained: "I can't be afraid of trouble, I just want the people of the county to plant, what I mean is, not only do we make money, but let the people of the county make money after the exchange, this is my purpose." In this way, each of you will invest 1oo thousand taels, each of you will take 10% of the shares, and I will figure out the rest of the money." Zhang Chengcheng asked: "Lord Long, how much silver is invested", Long Xiao: "At least 1ooo thousand taels", Zhang Chengcheng stuck out his tongue: "My good man, it's 1ooo million taels again, I have no money, and taking out 1o million taels is already all my family property!".
Long Xiao smiled: "It's okay, if you don't have money, go to Hu's Money Village to borrow some first, the interest is not expensive, and you can pay dividends after a year, and you won't have money." Zhang Cheng was also a little worried: "Master Long, I am not familiar with Hu Xueyan of Hu's Qianzhuang", Long Xiao: "It's okay, I'm familiar, I'll introduce you, 1oo million is no problem", Zhang Cheng was relieved when he heard it. Xing Mantang, the chief bookkeeper, is a money and food worker, and he knows that it is not easy to deal with the common people, so he raised an objection: "Lord Long, you have thought that it is not easy to mess with the current common people, and you will not believe it if there is no real thing."
This point, Long Xiao is very sure, in the previous life as a cadre for decades, every day is to deal with the people, Long Xiao is the most clear, the people are real, the most affordable, as long as you get the immediate benefits, there is nothing to say, Long Xiao: "This is easy to do, as long as you pay the people a little silver in advance, the people planting mulberry and silkworm is a profitable thing, will not disagree, the key is how we guide, as long as the entire Shenwu County begins to plant mulberry and silkworms, our silk factory will have infinite profits."
Long Xiao could only say this, if he didn't say this, no one would respond to him. On the surface, these people listen to their own words, but without huge benefits, they cannot arouse their enthusiasm. Sure enough, the main bookkeeper Xing Mantang first expressed a positive side, he said this: "Lord Long, great, every silkworm farmer, it's hard to say more, there is no problem with the silkworm that contributes 5o taels of silver, silk is 1ooo times the profit, that is, 5ooo taels, there is no problem with 20,000 households in the county, that is a wealth of 100 million taels, each of us is a profit, that is 1ooo million, Lord Long, you are too wise, I firmly support."
When everyone saw Xing Mantang's support, they all agreed, that is, Zhang Cheng had no money, and his performance was also positive. Everything is difficult at the beginning, especially when it involves a lot of farmers, and it can't be done by relying on a few Long Xiao, so Long Xiao came up with an idea, and instead of moving the original patrol of Bao Village, they have 3ooo people, scattered in 15oo villages in the county, and each person shows 20 families is 30,000, which is enough. Long Xiao stipulated that every farmer who planted mulberry and silkworm could get 1o taels of silver, and in addition, the cost of 2o taels of silver would be paid in advance to the farmer, as long as the silkworms were sold to the silk factory and then deducted.
As soon as this policy was implemented, it immediately got the approval of the people of the county, as soon as the notice was posted, 3ooo patrols went to the countryside like crazy, desperately promoted the planting of mulberry and silkworms, and 30,000 farmers agreed to plant mulberry seedlings first in a month, each household is 1o taels of silver in advance, and the mulberry seedlings are free of charge in the county, and there are 30,000 households raising silkworms, and the planting area has reached 3o mu. For comparison, Long Xiao paid 6o thousand taels of silver to complete the purpose of planting mulberry and silkworms in the county.
The next thing is to build a silk factory, Long Xiao asked Hu Xueyan to hire people who understand silk sheath technology and silk weaving technology through the money village in southern Xinjiang, and it took less than half a year to start building the factory, and the silk factory was completed and waited for the farmers' cocoons to go on the market.
In order to let the people raise silkworms well, Longxiao sent people to inspect, and now some farmers' mulberry trees are not planted very well, which will affect the effect of silkworm raising, so he subsidized 2 taels of silver per mu, which is 6o taels of silver to spend out, and the people of the county saw that the county master was really for the good of the people, and the enthusiasm for raising silkworms increased a lot. Many farmers who did not raise silkworms regretted a little, and asked if they could plant mulberry in the coming year, Long Xiao looked at it, if they planted mulberry is not a way, and their own silk factories could not bear it, so they had to suspend the increase in the scale of silkworm raising, so that many farmers who did not raise silkworms regretted a little, because Longxiao gave too many subsidies, and farmers had vested interests, but it was too late to regret.
Long Xiao exhibited the whole county to plant mulberry and silkworms, it alarmed the grain road yamen of the province and county, this is a big deal, especially in the north, for not such a large scale, that is, in the south, a province's grain road will also govern hundreds of thousands of acres of mulberry fields, which is a new thing in the north, the grain road of the province and county after inspecting the planting area of Shenwu County on the spot, it invited the household department.
After the Sui Dynasty unified the country, it was changed to pay great attention to the exhibition of agriculture and mulberry, as long as the farmland was cultivated, it was to be rewarded, especially the exhibition of mulberry field, the household department had stipulated that one mu of mulberry field should be subsidized 1o taels of silver in the first year, that is, after that, it would be rewarded and subsidized 2 taels of silver every year. Long Xiao didn't know at first, but after the people from the provincial and county grain roads came, Long Xiao only understood when he asked. Long Xiao mobilized 3o mu of land, that is, a subsidy of 3oo thousand taels, which is not a small amount, but Long Xiao understands very well that this 3oo taels, in his own hands, can have 1oo thousand taels, it is good.
The household department opened very much and ordered the paperwork, and even the silver came down one piece, which was a full 5oo thousand taels. Long Xiao is strange, why didn't the household department deduct this time? Why is there an extra 2oo thousand taels. Later, when I asked, I didn't know what was going on, but the emperor knew about it, so he praised Long Xiao and ordered the household to add 2oo taels. Although Liang Zhongqiu of the provincial and county grain road did not deduct it, he was unwilling, the provincial and county grain road was a goose plucking the master, 5oo thousand taels of silver passed through his hands, if he didn't take some points, it would be unreasonable. As a result, Liang Zhongqiu was even more concerned about the silk factory in Shenwu County, not only put forward a lot of rationalization suggestions, but also explained the future taxation of the silk factory, which meant very clearly, and wanted Long Xiao to know, Long Xiao also understood that Liang Zhongqiu was helping at first, and if there was no benefit, he would be annoyed and angry.
So, Long Xiao took out 2o thousand taels from it and gave it to Liang Zhongqiu, which was considered hard work, although it did not achieve Liang Zhongqiu's goal, but it was also okay. According to Liang Zhongqiu's purpose, it would be at least 5o thousand taels, and Long Xiao gave 2o thousand taels, feeling a little dissatisfied. However, this is the emperor's personal order, Long Xiao can give himself 2o, which is not bad, Liang Zhongqiu thinks about it, and he also feels that it is enough.
