Chapter 81: Opportunity
Xu Huai: "The Cao family in Ningguo Mansion is an old friend of our Xu family." ”
"This junior of the Cao family went to sea, and a month ago, he saved a few Francois at sea."
"Those Franco, there is one who can speak official language, and told the people of the Cao family that their Franco-machine country now has a large amount of silver, and hopes to get cotton and silk from us."
"They said that they were going to do it quietly, and they couldn't let the government know that they gave us twice the market price, and hoped that we would supply as much as possible."
"The Franc also said that their silver ship had been anchored on the shore of Luzon, and that the cotton cloth had arrived, and that the silver ship would come at once."
"Mother, as long as we can produce more cotton cloth, through the Cao family, we can earn a huge amount of silver."
"I have heard that people who have been to the territory of Franc have said that they have mountains of silver on their ships, which are worth millions of taels, and if we can sell them cotton cloth, we will earn several times more silver than we have now."
"Mother, how about you take a look at this idea?"
Hearing Xu Huai's words, Xu Liu's heart was also moved.
The Francosis came to Daming in 1502, and Xu Liushi had long heard that as soon as the Francophiles came, there were a lot of rare things.
The Ming people call them red-haired devils, thinking that they are Yi people, and most people are reluctant to contact them.
I really didn't expect this group of Francos to be so rich.
Xu Liushi: "Then Huai'er, you should hurry up and clean up the weaving workshop, let's quickly weave cloth and weave silk." ”
"This time, it may be our last chance, if we lose, our Xu family will be defeated, and we will never be able to stand up, you have to grasp this opportunity to turn the tables."
Xu Huai responded, appeased Xu Liu, and hurriedly went to the weaving workshop.
..
Xu Yuan.
According to the statistics of the deposit data of the Ming Savings Bank in the past few days, Xu Yi is still quite satisfied.
In the past few days, more and more people have chosen to deposit silver in the Ming Savings Bank.
The total share is four or five percent more than before, which makes Xu Yi very happy.
Ming Chu Bank is Xu Yi's core financial tool.
Whether it is pharmaceutical, medical insurance, education, newspaper, post office, etc., the Ming Savings Bank is needed for financial settlement, so the stronger the Ming Savings Bank, the better Xu Yi's other career developments.
Now, the Ming Savings Bank has absorbed a lot of the Xu family's inheritance, and at this time it has expanded by four or five times compared with the original scale.
Now, Xu Yi can finally push the two top priorities of the medical insurance system and the education system to the entire rural area of Songjiang Prefecture.
There are two counties in Songjiang Prefecture, one is Fuzhi Huating County and the other is Shanghai County.
Huating County has a population of about 200,000 people, and Shanghai County has a population of more than 100,000.
In the countryside of the two counties, there are about 2 million people.
Of course, this number is not accurate, Xu Yi has not yet done the census of Songjiang Prefecture, and the specific population figure has not yet been known, so it can only be said that Songjiang Prefecture has a population of about 2 million.
With the living standard of the countryside of Songjiang Prefecture, the conditions are not as good as those in the urban areas, but they are still higher than the living standards of the vast interior of the Ming Dynasty.
This is determined by geography, and Xu Yi can't change it.
Li Siyuan has been working out the formula for medical insurance reduction and exemption for a long time, and Xu Yi has been busy dealing with the Xu family and has not had time to use it.
It just so happens that the Xu family has no power to fight back for the time being, and Xu Yi also happens to promote his "four-piece suit" to the entire Songjiang Mansion.
Four-piece set, in fact, is very simple,
Savings Bank, Health Insurance Scheme, Public Education, Newspaper Media.
As long as these four things are promoted to the countryside of Songjiang Prefecture, even if Xu Yi reduces the fee by half for everyone, it will increase the audience by more than one million.
At present, Xu Yi is only engaged in a four-piece set in Huating County, and it is estimated that only 100,000 audiences have participated in Xu Yi's economic cycle.
If the audience of the four-piece set can be expanded to one million people, it is possible that Xu Yi's solid basic plate will directly increase tenfold.
But the benefits look great, but the risks are still high.
Songjiang Mansion is located in the Jiangnan region, and the annual income of ordinary people is about 4 to 12 taels of silver, which is extremely rich in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Xu Yi is not worried about these people in the countryside of Songjiang Mansion, and they have no money to buy Xu Yi's "four-piece set" service.
What's more, in many cases, because of the land for farming, the rural people have even higher annual incomes than the bottom of the city.
In addition to the trouble of literacy rate, Xu Yi really doesn't need to worry about insufficient consumption.
Just do it, Songjiang Prefecture Medical Insurance Plan, start the third phase.
The third phase of medical insurance services is for all the people of Songjiang Prefecture.
If you pay 500 yuan a year, you can see a doctor and get medicine at a designated hospital for free.
Realize that everyone has a sick treatment, everyone has medicine to eat, and ensure the safety of people's lives.
Second, public education.
The problem of public education is difficult to solve, because the countryside needs labor to maintain production, and it is impossible to have free time and receive education as in the cities.
Children in rural areas, on the other hand, will begin to do farm work at the age of 15 and officially become a laborer.
Therefore, Xu Yi only plans to popularize junior high school education for these rural children.
In the course of elementary and junior high school education, children who are serious about their studies are gradually discovered and enter higher high schools.
Xu Yi's current ability can only do it here.
Not long ago, Li Jingmao once said to Xu Yi that Huating County, as the government of Songjiang Prefecture, is the most prosperous place, and the primary school enrollment rate is only one-third.
In this vast countryside, most parents don't care much about their children's education, and the primary school enrollment rate can be reduced to less than 10%, and may even be only 5%.
Therefore, Xu Yi's investment in this area may only require four or five times the amount of money in the urban area.
In this era, if most people don't want their children to take the imperial examination, they don't want their children to receive too much education.
Maybe you just want to pay 500 yuan a semester and find a few reassuring people to help you watch your children.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi smiled helplessly.
Although the road is tortuous, the future is bright, although most people do not pay attention to education, but Xu Yi still has to rely on this education system to screen talents for himself.
In the near future, after the advent of FIB consciousness, it will set off a monstrous wave in this Ming world, causing thousands of disputes.
One person can't stop the invasion of FIB, Xu Yi must rely on the natives of the Ming world to resist the invasion together.
Xu Yi deeply knew that after the FIB invasion, after the consciousness channel came, it was not manipulated by a certain person.
It is one of the most powerful countries in the Earth world, and it is a team that has absorbed the world's elites, and together they have invaded this world through this channel of consciousness.
Xu Yi must understand that he and the virtual consciousness Lao Bai are not facing a person.
Rather, a civilization.
If these people are allowed to win, then the Earth World and the Ming World, both worlds will sink forever.
Xu Yi must use all means to unite with the natives of this world to resist the invasion of FIB.
At all costs, move forward!
Resist the FIB invasion!
