Chapter 195: Take Advantage of It
Liu Jingyuan directly suspected that Chen Wenhui was lying, and the land could not achieve such a high profit. But seeing Chen Yuanheng and Bai's careful listening, it seems that they believe what their daughter said. He knows this Chen husband and wife, and he is the most shrewd, if they all think it is true, what Chen Wenhui said may really be true.
Wen Hui continued: "As for the expenses and the number of people who hire long-term workers, I have made an account, father and mother, you can see. ”
Bai nodded, and the maid red carp who was waiting next to him had already taken out the abacus and began to settle the accounts.
Wen Hui said at this time: "I asked Li Huan to buy cattle for ploughing, so that such a long-term worker can take care of about 20 acres of land." It is enough to pull weeds, fertilize and plow, and add cattle to one person, but it will not be enough to wait until the wheat harvest next year. Therefore, when I asked Li Huan to hire people, I deliberately hired young and strong wives. In this way, when the wheat is harvested next year, we can hire our long-term wives to go to the harvest and give the money to the short-term workers. In normal times, in order to let these women stay in our manor with peace of mind, I am going to let Li Huan open a few workshops in Zhuangzi and hire these women to work, so that they can be tied up, and secondly, our workshops can also make money. ”
At this time, Liu Jingyuan interjected: "Then what workshop are you going to open?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "This is easy, we have it in Ancheng and Deqing." For example, opening a vermicelli workshop and producing vermicelli and vermicelli is equivalent to reprocessing the sweet potatoes in your own field, isn't it more profitable? How much is the sweet potato, and there are more vermicelli than sweet potatoes. There is also a fertile and thin land, barren land, now I don't have anything to grow, and when the next year I am going to plant some soybeans, that can fertilize the land, and then we will have a lot of soybean harvest, and we will open a workshop to make yuba. Of course, these are all workshops that will only open next year, and at this stage I am opening a workshop that makes clothes. ”
This Liu Jingyuan understood and said, "I know this." Your family's Cuijin Lou also has a branch in the capital, and it is now very famous. My mother and sister are your faithful guests. ”
Wen Hui was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much." In this way, Brother Liu should also know that our Cuijin Building not only has clothes for ladies and girls, but also clothes for ordinary people. ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "Yes, in the past few years, people in our family have been looking for you to make clothes in Cuijinlou, and my mother is relieved for this." Our family has a small population, and there are not many subordinates, and Rao has forty or fifty subordinates. These people don't say it yet. There are also the stewards of the Zhuangzi. And the shopkeepers in the shop. And the workmen, there are more of these, adding up to more than 200 people, these more than 200 people. There are more than 1,000 sets of clothes for the four seasons, thick and thin. For the clothes of these servants alone, my mother used ten mothers-in-law who made needlework all year round, and she often suffered famines. It's good now, the clothes of our family are all made in Cuijin Building. In this way, a little money was spent. Compared with doing it yourself, the extra cost is very limited, but it saves trouble, and we don't need the ten mothers-in-law who do the needlework on the needlework, and the expenses of these ten people are also saved a lot. That's almost enough to cover the extra money. That is to say, spend the same amount of money and do the same thing, but save a lot of trouble. I see that there are more and more people in the capital who make clothes in your house. ”
Chen Wenhui was very happy to hear it and said, "Yes, my family's business is getting better and better. In fact, there are many ready-to-wear shops like our family now, such as Jinyifang, Ruixianglou and so on, but there are more and more customers, and our earliest family, good reputation, many old customers, and old customers introduce new customers, so ah, this business is getting better and better. In this way, the original two workshops, one in Ancheng and the other in Deqing, are not enough. Moreover, the capital is far away, and the cost of the road alone is unbearable, so our family also opened a workshop in the capital. Now our family's Cuijin Building has also opened in Heyang Prefecture, so that in order to meet the ready-to-wear in Heyang Prefecture, we must open a workshop in Heyang Prefecture. This has also been opened, but the business is too good for us to finish, so we will divide some odd and entrepreneurial work to the small workshop below, so that everyone can make money together. I opened such a small workshop in Zhuangzi, specializing in sewing edges, buckles and other work, probably a woman can do it. ”
Liu Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood. Poor Liu Yan is still confused, because where does he understand the matter of managing housework, let alone the matter of female red making clothes.
Chen Wenhui continued: "These female workers usually work in our workshop, and when they are busy, such as farming and harvesting, they can do a short job. In this way, the husband and wife will make money, and they will definitely become rich soon. Of course, our family's income is even better. The workshop can make money, the land can be intensively cultivated, and the most important thing is that my family's land I promote new seeds, new farming methods. This will definitely have a high yield per mu. ”
This Liu Jingyuan was very interested. This Liu Yan understands it, isn't it his duty? Therefore, he hated to listen carefully to Wen Hui's explanation.
Wen Hui saw that they were so serious, and she understood with a roll of her eyes, this is trying to steal the teacher, if this is taught to them, they will promote it, this is not a big political achievement? However, it seems that their achievements are what their families want to see the most. After all, now they are grasshoppers on a rope. But Wen Hui sued them like this, feeling a little unwilling, this is not the principle of white bone spirit, there is no maximization of interests.
Thinking of this, Wen Hui suddenly thought of a good idea, these two people should make good use of it, so that maybe their huge investment in the manor can be recouped in a year.
Thinking of the bright prospects at that time, Wen Hui was very happy. Chen Yuanheng and his wife know their daughter too well, and as soon as they saw their daughter's expression, they knew that she had thought of something good to make money, and she should be using Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan. The husband and wife couldn't help but sympathize with the two of them, but the husband and wife have always been unprincipled and supportive of their daughter's money-making plan. Immediately chose to shut up and wait to see how the two of them jumped into the pit dug by their daughter.
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Do you want to know what method makes our yield per mu high?" ”
Liu Yan didn't make a sound, Liu Jingyuan had already said loudly: "Of course I want to, Wen Hui's good sister, you can say it quickly." ”
Wen Hui said slowly: "Actually, it's very simple, I used the best seeds. This is my exclusive method of selection, and I will not pass it on. In addition, I know when to fertilize and when to top dress, so of course I can grow wheat with a high yield. ”
Liu Jingyuan said excitedly: "Sister Wen Hui, this is a matter of immeasurable merit, you hurry up and say it." ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "I not only want to tell you, but also write to you, so that you can better promote it in Heyang Prefecture." But there are two conditions for this. ”
Liu Jingyuan hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" ”
Wen Hui said: "It's good to have good seeds for this, or I just give you the method, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice." And this fertilization, topdressing is also a technical job, but it can't be learned by looking at two pages. ”
Liu Jingyuan thought about it too.
Wen Hui continued: "There is another important issue. ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "What? ”
Wen Hui said: "The matter of planting the land is voluntary, and the government says that the new seed is good, and it is necessary to plant this, will the people listen?" If the government says that this new farming tool is good, will the people listen? The government said that this new fertilization method was good, and the people would be able to listen to it? Now the people rely on the sky for food, and there is no one who fertilizes or fertilizes, so that they can change the farming methods of their ancestors for generations, can they listen honestly? ”
Liu Jingyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Wen Hui saw that she was in the trap, and smiled even more happily: "I have a way to solve these problems." ”
Liu Jingyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Good sister, hurry up." ”
Wen Hui said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, when the wheat is harvested next year, you have organized people from all over Heyang Prefecture to go to my manor to see it in person, anyway, there are three manors to see, just look at it nearby, look at all three, let them watch the harvest, weigh, and know my method." Then I was like they sold seeds, and wherever I bought my seeds, I sent a person to guide me in farming. Of course, I just bought one or two catties, and I wouldn't send someone there. I have to buy a lot, so I send someone to guide. If you buy less, it's okay, I'll write two pages and send it to him, and let him study it on his own, maybe it's better than the guidance of the person I sent, anyway, it's a matter of my own volition. There are other people I have sent, but I am not responsible for this person's wages, clothes, and meals, they are all the responsibility of the buyer, and after the teaching, this person will return to my manor. ”
After hearing this, Bai immediately understood, and was very happy, now it's okay, people's crops are planted with grain, and their tens of thousands of acres of land are planted with seeds, can this grain and seeds be the same price? This Wen Hui is thinking about earning back the money she invested in building a house all at once.
Liu Jingyuan and Liu Yan didn't think about how much economic benefit this matter would bring to the Chen family, they just praised this method for being good, from promotion to planting all of a sudden, what is more direct than directly looking at the harvest of high-yield crops? I believe that in this way, we will be able to promote the new planting methods and excellent seeds to the entire Heyang Prefecture where wheat is grown as soon as possible, and I believe that the emperor will be shocked. Unexpectedly, they found this opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the Chen family only a few days after they came to Jiangnan, and sure enough, Chen Wenhui was talented.
Liu Yan's eyes changed when he looked at Wen Hui.
