Chapter 714: Not Afraid of Trade Surplus and Deficit (Part 1)
On August 16, the people who had finished the Mid-Autumn Festival were busy again.
The sorghum is cut from the roots, and the upper ears are more than a foot long.
In the past, people basically didn't keep so many except for those who specialized in making brooms.
Sorghum stalks are worthless, and they are burned as firewood.
Now the people are careful and careful, they are waiting, waiting for Li Yi to come up with a good solution.
The people trust Li Yi so much, they don't know what Li Yi will do, but they firmly believe that things can't be wasted.
Sure enough, only a day had passed, and the newsboys began to shout.
"Selling newspapers, the Li family Zhuangzi recruited older people to help make things in various villages."
"Selling newspapers, Li Zhuangzi buys sorghum stalks and sorghum ears."
Before, Li Zhuangzi found someone to dispose of cotton, rags, and waste paper.
However, at that time, it was recruited to do hard work, and the elderly were not suitable.
When he is old, he works slowly, and his eyes are not good, and now the Li family Zhuangzi has prepared a job for the elderly.
It was written in the newspaper that one was an old man who helped weave things and gave money to the old man according to the quantity.
The other is that the old man weaves things and collects them according to the number of Zhuangzi.
The former Li Jiazhuangzi provides sorghum stalks, while the latter does not.
There is a kind of high-brightness at home that can be sold to Li's Zhuangzi after it is done, but there is no planting at home, and it is okay to be willing to get sorghum stalks by yourself, and it is no problem to work alone.
The things that are made are frames, blue, brooms, brushes, mats, curtains......
People who don't know how to watch others make it will learn it.
The newspaper gave a way, and people who didn't know how to help process raw materials would work on the assembly line.
The old people would work on weekdays, do farm work, weave things, and even weave cloth.
Generally, after it is made, it will be sold at the market, but it will not be sold at a price.
"It's called decentralized, intensive labor, and from an industry perspective, in an area, purchasing power is limited, and a lot of time is wasted on rushing and waiting."
Li Yi explained to Li Longji.
Li Longji moved the small court meeting of the court to Xingqing Palace, and there is also a Xingqing Hall here, and he only goes to the imperial city when the court is meeting.
Live, naturally, also live in Xingqing Palace, next to the Chunming Gate, the city gate is not closed, and the road to Li's Zhuangzi outside is a military camp.
If there is any danger, Li Longji's family can rush out and directly reach the Li family Zhuangzi.
After the small court meeting this morning, Li Longji saw that there was nothing to do, so he went directly to Li Yi.
Li Yi told him about the advantages of capital.
"It's simple, where can I sell it?" Li Longji is aware of the problems of business.
There are so many things that obviously can't be sold in Jingzhao Mansion, and the market is saturated.
"Sold to the Khitan, Turkic and Bohai, the Tu Fan was willing to buy it, and sold it to them. We are now in economic and cultural exchanges with other places.
They can also collect things and sell them to us, and we can exchange them with each other.
I have low requirements, sell them handmade products at a low cost, and exchange their things back, so that I can maintain a trade deficit for a period of time. ”
Li Yi found a place to sell, it seemed that he was the capital, but the people of Jingzhao Mansion earned it.
The reason for the trade deficit is that he pays high labor hours to help the people earn more before winter.
When he collects things in Khitan, Bohai, Xi and other places, he can sell them all the way back, and then buy local things from the places on the road and sell them in Chang'an.
There is nothing wrong with the whole process, as long as the other party does not grab it.
"It can be shipped to other places in Datang to be sold." Li Longji felt that the external market was too small, and the internal demand of Datang was large.
"Wherever you go, you will hit the market of the same industry, and if the price is high, the local people will not buy it, and if the price is low, the little things prepared by the local people will not be sold."
Li Yi shook his head, he didn't want millions of brooms to be thrown out, and the brooms that other people had managed to make could only be used by themselves.
"This year, things made from sorghum stalks were exported, but what about next year?" Li Longji thought about the future.
"Next year, we will not plant sorghum, but all soybeans. Raise insects to eat, the number of insects is limited this year, and next year it will be specially cultivated.
Next year, the people will have more money, there is consumption potential, barbecue and other industries will explode at night, and the consumption of nightlife is not a lot. ”
Li Yi had already planned that next year Jingzhao Mansion would not grow sorghum, and wanted to eat sorghum and buy it from outside.
Everyone eats insects together to increase the consumption of food stalls.
Because I have money, in addition to buying things that I need at home and saving some of them, I take out the rest and spend it.
If the whole Jingzhao Province is infected with insects, the protein intake of the people of Jingzhao Province will increase.
Li Longji frowned: "Brother Yi, the yield of sorghum is high, and the supplementary grain is insufficient. ”
"Isn't it time to plant new rice, and use new rice to make up for the loss of sorghum production? Next year's terraces, Henan Province is planted in large quantities, and there is no shortage. ”
Li Yi had already thought that the yield of sorghum per mu is more than that of soybeans, and on the whole, it is better to plant a part of sorghum than to plant all beans and insects.
Li Longji patted his head: "Yes, next year's new varieties of rice will be planted twice a year, and other crops can be planted." ”
Feeling that he had a bottom in his heart, Li Longji did not continue to stay in Zhuangzi, and turned his head and returned to Xingqing Palace.
The people don't know what the upper class thinks, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion are now discovering that there is endless work to do.
One by one, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make money.
"Recently, I have eaten something good, three meals a day, I am tired after working too much, and I can't eat enough."
"Eat meat, it's better to eat meat, eat meat for the old people in the family, let's go to Li's Zhuangzi to work, and eat it there."
"I'm waiting to finish this, and I'm busy in winter, so I can't rest for two days a year."
"You can go and sleep at home."
"That's not possible, others have money, but the family has no money, or because they are lazy, they will be scolded behind their backs."
"It's not behind my back, I scolded it in front of you."
When the people discussed, it seemed like complaining, but in fact it was showing off.
In Lantian County, the eldest grandson Xin held a newspaper in his hand: "Li Zhuangzi has come up with a new method, should I keep up?" ”
Recently, Changsun Xin has made a lot of money, including weaving, grinding noodles, and making canned fruits.
As soon as he saw that Li Zhuangzi had action, it was like following it.
The money is made cleanly, and it is not the same as the money that is embezzled and bribed.
"The eldest grandson is an inspector, you can't learn, we don't know what to do with Li Yi's many things, we give us less wages, no one does it, we give a lot, and we smash it."
When Luo Oucheng heard that Changsun Xin wanted to learn again, he hurriedly stopped him.
The other three people also nodded, saying no, it was too dangerous, unless they knew how Li Yi would arrange it.
"That's it, wait a minute, it's a pity that the cotton can't be intervened, otherwise it will be beneficial."
Eldest Sun Xin waved his hand, looking very regretful.
He saw that cotton was important, but unfortunately it was under the control of the imperial court, and individuals were not allowed to buy cotton.
And even if cotton is planted, in the end, the cotton must be sold to the Li family Zhuangzi or the imperial court. Degree of literature
