The establishment of Yancheng and the smooth flow of the river have brought the trade of Shenwu County to a new height, and there are only 50,000 salt merchants, and tens of thousands of shops of all kinds." The top point "X" not only doubled the tax revenue of Shenwu County, but the key is the collection of fire consumption silver and regular silver, which has risen sharply. If the silver can still be entered into the public account, then the fire consumption of silver is a private account, and the fire consumption of silver in Shenwu County has reached an astonishing 2oo thousand taels, which is the small treasury of the county. As long as Long Xiao is willing, many rules and regulations of silver can also be inferior to the public account, and the fees for all kinds of silver have reached more than 5ooo thousand taels, that is, the national tax of imperial grain that should be paid has reached 2ooo million taels.

In view of the fact that the amount of the imperial grain tax paid by Shenwu County has increased repeatedly, and the tax silver returned has also increased, and the current amount has reached 5oo thousand taels, which is a huge income of Shenwu County, and the life of Shenwu County is quite good. In addition to drinking tea in the county government and talking about the mountains, Long Xiao also patrols everywhere to see the folk customs and do errands leisurely. On this day, Long Xiao inspected Bailongshan Town in Shenwu County, and saw a strange thing, which was a bright stone.

Long Xiao took a closer look, but it was the raw material for making porcelain, according to the name of the previous life, it was potassium feldspar or albite. In the Sui Dynasty, there was no porcelain, and the general folk used pottery, which was very rough, and only the royal personnel used gold and bronze, and Long Xiao had an idea. It would be good to set up a porcelain factory in Shenwu County, which was a very ordinary technology in the previous life, but it was not available in another world. Long Xiao had learned such a technique when he was in college in his previous life, and he remembered it clearly.

So, Long Xiao asked the locals where they could get such stones, and the locals told Long Xiao that in Bailong Mountain, there are such stones everywhere, and the whole mountain is inexhaustible. Long Xiao was overjoyed, so he personally went to Bailong Mountain, and sure enough, there were ores all over the mountain. Long Xiao asked his entourage to take some, and after returning to the county office, he let people process it into powder, and then tried to make porcelain, Long Xiao finally succeeded after more than a dozen experiments, and the porcelain fired was completely more beautiful than the porcelain in the previous life.

Long Xiao was excited, so he found the three people in the county master book: "I have a kind of stone, which is very precious, you see." Long Xiao took out the ore, and the chief bookkeeper Xing Mantang smiled when he saw it: "Lord Long, there are many such stones in our hometown, what is precious?" ”。 Long Xiao was stunned: "Mantang, are you from Bailong Town?" Xing Mantang said with a smile: "Yes, when I was young, I often went to the mountains to play, and the mountains were full of this kind of stone, and the local farmers used this as a flint, which was used to light fires and make fire chains." Long Xiao became interested when he heard this: "Then do you know that this kind of stone can be used as a raw material for porcelain?" ”。

Xing Mantang was stunned and asked, "Lord Long, what is porcelain?" Long Xiao smiled: "This is a kind of thing that I know, it can be made of this kind of stone, and the pottery, pottery bowls, clay pots, clay pots, and other things we use for dinner can be fired, and they are more advanced, cleaner, and more durable." Xing Mantang was a little unconvinced: "Lord Long, it's amazing that you can make such a good thing out of stones, right?" ”。 Long Xiao took out the porcelain he had fired, and the three of them looked at it carefully, and they all felt that it was magical, and the county Chengwu asked in surprise, this porcelain bowl needs dozens of taels of silver? Long Xiao smiled: "There is almost no cost, if you sell it, I think it will be just one or two pieces of silver."

Dian Shi Zhang Cheng: "Lord Long, such a good thing, it is too little to sell for only one tael of silver, and I think it will cost at least 1o taels of silver", Long Xiao disagreed: "As for how much it sells, the problem now is to establish this porcelain factory." Xing Mantang, the chief bookkeeper, was even more interested, he faintly felt that this was another good opportunity to make a lot of money, so he asked: "Lord Long, do you need more silver?" ”。 Long Xiao: "I don't need much silver, I think it's just hundreds of thousands of taels of silver", Xing Mantang: "Hehe, it's too little, Lord Long, I think it's like this, since you don't need much silver, the three of us will each take out 1oo thousand taels, and you don't pay, this technology is money, the three of us still take one percent of each share, you account for seventy percent, do you think it's okay?" ”。

Long Xiao thinks this is not bad, anyway, he knows it, if he invests completely, he can invest all of it, and he can fully contribute 3oo taels of silver, but this is not very good, he is a county, and he has subordinates, it is not okay to eat alone, as long as the three of them are shareholders, they will not have any problems. In this way, the three of them will be more grateful to themselves. Long Xiao began to operate, first recruited 3ooo people, built porcelain kilns according to their own requirements, taught them by hand, taught a batch of teachers to start firing, and after three months, the workers of 5o porcelain kilns all mastered the technology.

At the beginning, the porcelain fired by each batch of workers was still very rough, after firing a few times, it gradually came out of the fine products, and the various porcelain fired out was exquisite, extremely beautiful, after Wu several saw it, they all said that if they didn't sell 1o taels of silver, it would be a pity, Long Xiao felt that it was too expensive, according to the porcelain bowl, each 2 taels of silver, the profit was very rich, but the main book Xing Mantang was still not satisfied, and felt that at least 5 taels of silver should be sold, and finally, Long Xiao determined that each would sell 5 taels of silver.

5o porcelain kilns, each porcelain kiln fires 1o million sets each time, the least porcelain bowl is 5 taels of silver, those large pieces are 1o taels, or even 2o taels, on average, there are 1o taels of silver, every 1o days, you can fire a furnace, every month a furnace can fire 3o million sets, that is, 3oo million taels of silver, 5o porcelain kilns continue to fire, every month is 150 million taels of silver, a year down, even if there are two months of overhaul of the kiln, there are ten months, every year is 1.5 billion taels of silver.

The production cost of porcelain is indeed very low, the ore mountain belongs to the state, Long Xiao only spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it, and the monthly salary of the workers is 1o taels per person, which is not low, which is a very high salary in Shenwu County, and these 3ooo people only have 30,000 taels of silver per month, which is insignificant compared to the huge production capacity. After calculation, the monthly profit turned out to be 148 million, with a cost of only 2oo, which means that the annual profit is 1.48 billion. The tax burden set by Long Xiao for the porcelain factory is one percent, and the annual tax paid is more than 1ooo. Long Xiao also stipulated that every year, he would take out that fraction as the regular silver handed over to the magistrate of the county yamen, which could be regarded as supporting the magistrate yamen, which was equivalent to collecting 6ooo million of the regular silver for the county magistrate every year, so that there was a huge amount of money in the public account of the magistrate of Shenxian County. Originally, there was 5oooo million of regular silver, plus the current 6ooo million taels, and the county government of Shenwu County has hundreds of millions of silver every year.

And Wu, Xing Mantang, and Zhang Cheng can also share hundreds of millions of silver taels every year, and the three of them simply admire Long Xiao to the point of home. As long as Long Xiao thinks of an idea, he can make money, first the medicine shop, which has hundreds of thousands of taels every month, then the winery, and then the silk factory, which is more profitable than the other, and now there is a porcelain factory, and the annual profit is as high as more than 1.4 billion taels. The main bookkeeper Xing Mantang has been the master bookkeeper for decades, and he has gone through seven county orders, and any county order is not as good as Long Xiaohui's business. Since Long Xiao began to be a county official, the chief bookkeeper Xing Mantang is not optimistic, at that time, Long Xiao was a stinky child, Xing Mantang felt that the county was joking, although Long Xiao was already a person at that time, but after all, he was not very old. What Xing Mantang, the chief bookkeeper, did not expect was that after Long Xiao took office, there were endless tricks, first he built a green building street, which made the poor scumbag Shenwu County have an annual income of several million, and then ...
