Chapter 100: Merging with each other
Da Niu's brother-in-law went back and discussed with Da Niu's sister Qi Yufen, Qi Yufen also felt that this was a good business, and it didn't cost much, but it was the cost of going back to Da Chu first, plus some expenses after returning to Da Chu, food, accommodation, etc., as well as the cost of transporting people back, these silver money could still be taken out, so Qi Yufen agreed.
The next day, they found the big cow and consulted with the big cow. Da Niu said: "Since you want to do it, now contact the bosses of those workshops, I take advantage of the free time these days, my goods have been sold out, and the workshops are also on holiday, we will contact a few more bosses who are willing to buy people, and let them pay a deposit, so that you don't have to pay any capital." After the New Year is over, you can immediately set off to go back to Dachu. ”
Qi Yufen was even happier when she heard it, and said: "Originally, we didn't need much capital, I'm okay here, it's really not good, I can still find a bank loan, if you can find a boss for us who is willing to pay a deposit, then what do we have to worry about, this is a stable and profitable business." ”
Da Niu nodded and smiled, just do it, and hurriedly took his brother-in-law to find the owners of those workshops.
Here the big cow is busy doing business with his brother-in-law. When Gui Er returned home, he first saw how the cheese production in his workshop was. Now the cheese in the workshop is in short supply, mainly because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the residents are buying things to prepare for the New Year. But there are not enough people in the workshop. No, the Kumar family came to help.
Gui Er exchanged a few words with Kuma's family and asked Kuma: "You have a good year this year." All the cattle and sheep slaughtered this year have been sold, right? ”
Kumar said with a happy face: "No, for the Chinese New Year, many residents are preparing for the New Year, and there are more people buying beef and mutton." I deliberately put all the cattle and sheep for slaughter at this time, so that I sold a lot of silver. Thanks to your reminder. Now I've paid off all the initial loans. But in order to build two more pastures on the Acropolis, like a bank borrowing more money, now the land reclamation has ended, the trees have been planted, and the grass has not only been planted, but also grown. Feeding the livestock has also begun. It's really going to be a fat year this year. ”
Gui Er said, "What's more. Our cheese workshop is so profitable, haven't I already paid dividends to your family? How can you build a new pasture and still have to take out a loan? What's the silver paper doing with the dividends? ”
Kumar laughs, "Actually, this cheese workshop makes more money than our pasture. I have all this silver paper and have already paid the deposit. After the New Year, it will be paid in full. ”
Gui Er asked strangely: "Pay the deposit?" What did you buy? ”
Kumar said, "Ah. It's a shame to say. Originally, we barbarians. It is not to live in a house, in our time, we all live in tents, living in water and grass. But in this place. The pasture is fixed, the rain is abundant all year round, the grass grows quickly, and the cattle and sheep are not short of grass to eat. So where do we still use migration? Chasing water weeds? We live in the house, warm and comfortable, clean, tidy, we are used to it, now let's go to live in a tent, we are not used to it. No, Ugo is already married, and he will be married in a few years. Temu and I swore in front of the spirit of the eldest brother that we must take care of Ugo, so we decided to prepare a new house for the bride according to the custom of your Great Chu people. All my money was used to buy a house. ”
Gui Er smiled and said: "When you say this, it's true, my sister-in-law's family was muttering, where do you live after Ugo gets married?" Do you live in a tent? Do you live in a temporary room. Now it's okay, I can sue them, don't worry about preparing a dowry for my sister-in-law, your family has already bought a house. By the way, where is the house you bought? How old is it, how many houses have you bought? ”
Kumar smiled and said, "Gui Er, you are really shrewd, you guessed at once that we didn't buy a house for Ugo alone. We bought three houses. One from Ugo, one from my family and one from Temu's family. ”
Gui Er said: "It's hard to guess? Since you can buy it for Ugo, can you still buy a house for your own family. Where? When will I be paid and how much? When can I use it? Will you take me to see it someday? ”
"It's a new residential complex at the south gate, where the birds are singing and the scenery is beautiful, and twenty houses have been built around a clear lake," Kumar said. We bought three neighbors, do you want to buy them? I see that although your house is very good, it is still not as good as the lake. Our three houses are all two-entry houses, with a small garden, Ma Peng, and a servant's room. Each house costs only two thousand taels of silver. ”
Gui Er said: "Two thousand taels is not too expensive, the key is that you shouldn't have so much money?" Our dividend is to give you four thousand taels. In the past two years, you have used the money from selling cattle and sheep, as well as milk sales, to repay the money in the bank, where is it enough? ”
Kumar said, "Isn't that enough? However, the community said that it could take out a bank loan. We paid four thousand taels of silver, and with the remaining two thousand taels of silver, we made a loan. There are many other types of loans. You can borrow it for half a year or a year. You can borrow it for 10 or 20 years. In this case, you will have to repay the loan every month. Therefore, although the house is expensive, many families can afford it. ”
Gui Er smiled and said, "Our bank is really good at doing business. Okay, I'm guessing you must have chosen the half-year or one-year loan. I think that when the time comes, our workshop should be able to share dividends with your family, and this money will be enough to repay the bank loan. ”
Kumahaha smiled and said: "No, I was about to ask you, you are in charge of the business of this workshop, you see that we will be able to repay the money in half a year next year, or will it take a year to pay it back?" ”
Gui Er said: "I will definitely be able to pay it back in half a year." According to our current output and orders, it is normal to pay a dividend of 2,000 taels in half a year. In fact, there should be more points. ”
Kumar asked a little strangely, "How can I divide more?" ”
Gui Er said: "Because we now have a rich source of milk, but the workshop has few people. I can't do it. This problem will be solved quickly. My brother-in-law, who is a big cow, has decided to do the business of recruiting people. He returned to Dachu after the New Year and recruited a group of people to come over to work. I have already told him that our workshop needs a hundred workers, and I will pay each worker one or two pieces of silver when he arrives in Qingchun City. If he signs a contract for a year, I will pay him another tael each. If I could sign a contract for ten years like a slave, I would pay each of them ten taels of silver, and of course, in advance, I would give each of them half a tael of silver, that is, a deposit of fifty taels of silver. Therefore, next year, the manpower of our workshop will be greatly increased, and the products will be increased, won't we be able to make more money? ”
Kumar was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I am also short of manpower there." There is a shortage of milking workers and grazing workers. Can you ask that relative to ask us to recruit some workers for our family as well? I'll calculate, well, I have three pastures, and there should be sixty more people. Luckily, my sugar cane grove and rubber wood were taken care of by your brother's workshop. Either more workers are needed. Sixty people, I will give you thirty taels of silver first, and you can help me settle it. The more workers I have, the more milk I can produce, and the more milk we have in our workshop. ”
Gui Er said, "Hey, he should only have five hundred people per batch. Our relatives don't have enough to share, well, let's ask for a little less, so that your sixty people can guarantee thirty people. I'll make it up to you when the second batch arrives. After all, your milk source is also very important. ”
Kumar chuckled.
Gui Er said, "You cunning barbarian, really. By the way, your wife should be about to give birth, right? ”
"Not yet, it won't be produced until spring," Kumar said. Temu's wife will be able to give birth in a few days. ”
Gui Er said: "I really admire you barbarians, especially barbarian women don't have to worry about giving birth to children and getting pregnant, life has been good in the past few years, and your family has been importing Ding." It's really enviable. In a few years, the population of your barbarians will definitely increase greatly. ”
Kumar frowned and said, "What's the use of the increase in the population of our barbarians, most of the barbarian children now can't speak barbarian words and write barbarian words. They have been in the school of Qingchun City since they were children, and they have learned the language and script of Da Chu. Where are the children of our barbarians? ”
Gui Er scratched his head and said, "There is no way to do this, you can also teach them the barbarian language and barbarian script yourself at home?" ”
Kumar smiled bitterly and said, "We all teach the language of the barbarians. But the barbarian language, we are not nobles, we don't know ourselves, where can we teach children. Forget it, in fact, in a few years, we will all become Da Chu people, not to mention children. Look at me, now I like Da Chu's tea, Da Chu's food, Da Chu's house, and Da Chu's furniture. It's really uncomfortable for me to live in a tent now. ”
Gui Er smiled, that's really the case. It seems that once I heard my sister say it, and this city lord said it, it's called the integration of nationalities. Gui Er said: "I have heard that the phenomenon of the city supervisor is called the integration of nationalities. You barbarian people, now like the life of Da Chu, start to live, drink tea, and eat Da Chu's meals. Didn't we Da Chu people also start drinking milk, eating cheese, and accepting things from your barbarians? So, this is fusion, isn't it just that you merge into us, and we don't merge into you? For us ordinary people, how can he be integrated? As long as we have clothes to wear and food to eat, the days will become more and more prosperous. ”
Kumar thought that this was really the case and smiled. (To be continued......)
