Liang Jia got into the carriage and began to walk along the road on the ridge. Qian Maomao was naturally not qualified to take the car, so he could only trot to the side to introduce the situation, and after running a few steps, he was out of breath and began to speak intermittently.

Huangzhuang has a total of 13,000 acres of land, all of which are high-quality fields, and this season is the time to prepare for planting wheat, so the tenant farmers of Huangzhuang are ploughing the land in the fields. Because the drought in Shandong has also spread to the capital, there has not been a single rain for a long time, so now after ploughing the land, planting wheat, must also be irrigated.

When Liang Jia walked to the place where someone was working, he stopped the carriage. Qian Maomao wiped the sweat from his forehead, didn't care about resting, and hurriedly followed.

After getting out of the car and walking all the way to the field, Liang Jia walked all the way to a few people who were working.

When those people saw Qian Maomao coming over with a young nobleman, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and knelt down and kowtowed. One of the cattle drivers shouted, stopped the cow, and fell to its knees.

Except for the old man who drove the cattle, everyone else was around forty years old, and they all looked honest and dutiful. Seeing Liang Jia's smile, they smiled embarrassedly.

After Liang Jia let them get up, he sat on the land and smiled at a few tenant farmers: "You don't have to be nervous, I came here today mainly to understand the situation." ”

"Childe asks, you have to answer honestly, don't laugh and laugh ......," Qian Maomao said sternly on the side.

Liang Jia waved his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about him, are you all people from the neighborhood, or are you from other places?" ”

The old man boldly replied, "We have been tenant farmers of the Huangzhuang for generations, and my grandfather is here, and so is I." ”

Liang Jia thought that they were hired temporarily, but he didn't expect that they had been tenant farmers in Huangzhuang for generations.

"What are you planting in Huangzhuang for two seasons now?" Liang Jia asked.

"Now plant wheat right away, and after the harvest in May next year, you will plant some beans or dishes for the palace to eat."

"How is our wheat yield?"

"If an acre of land is good in the year, it can produce up to four stones, and if the year is not good, it can only be about two stones. The yield of beans is low, and the yield per mu is less than two stones at most. If the harvest is not good, the harvest of beans will be even lower. Just like this year, the rain was insufficient, and the soybeans harvested had just reached one stone. ”

Liang Jia listened, while converting the relationship between this unit of measurement and the unit of measurement he was familiar with, he probably knew that the highest yield per mu of wheat was about 400 catties, and soybeans were only about 100 catties, which was indeed very low.

After asking about the harvest, Liang Jia began to talk to them about how to farm.

In his previous life, he stayed away from farm work after he went to college, but he grew up doing farm work when he was a child, and he was naturally very familiar with the land.

These seven or eight tenant farmers were also surprised that such a son-in-law knew how to farm the land, so under the guidance of Liang Jia, they planted and harvested the Huangzhuang. There are also how to store and screen grain.

After that, Liang Jia continued to move forward, and talked to some other tenant farmers, and it took an hour and a half to read it.

Liang Jia's carriage left Huangzhuang, and Qian Maomao was relieved, and the whole person seemed to collapse. It's good that these guys below didn't talk nonsense, otherwise he would have been miserable.

However, an hour later, a bunch of Dongchang fanzi rushed into the Huangzhuang like wolves, and directly took Qian Maomao away, along with more than a dozen little stewards who were not in the village and ran out to gamble.

For people like Qian Maomao, when he entered the East Factory, he didn't even have to be punished, and he directly explained what he had done.

After listening to Dongchang's report, Liang Jia's depression could not be relieved for a while. He thought of a story in Kangxi Weifu's private interview, in which the businessman who specialized in supplying the palace said, don't look at the emperor's Ninth Five-Year Supreme, what we want to give them food, they have to eat, and they will drink whatever they want.

Now, he's in the same situation. According to that Qian Maomao, every year the various things collected by the Huangzhuang are picked up and collected, and the bad ones are sent to the palace. These good ones will be sold by them in various names, and the money from the sale will naturally go into their own pockets.

This Qian Maomao, who has only been the manager of the money village for five years, has already had a fortune of tens of thousands of taels, and has also bought a big house in the capital.

This guy also confessed to the former steward, and now he has gone home to an old eunuch, it is said that the old eunuch who has been in charge for more than ten years has been greedy for at least 100,000 taels, and he also married a few concubines in a fake way, and recognized his godson.

Dongchang first raided Qian Maomao's house and got 50,000 taels of silver, and then according to Qian Maomao's confession, he raided the old eunuch's house and found nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

The old eunuch was already terminally ill, and when Dongchang came to the door to deliver the order to raid the house, this guy was directly scared to death.

Earning more than 200,000 taels of silver again, Liang Jia gave 100,000 taels to the household department this time, and all the remaining 100,000 taels were given to Zhao Quan and Xu Qingqing, and the two of them sent news through Zhao Min that the preliminary preparation tools of the money village had been prepared, and the effect of publicity had been achieved, and the rumors of saving money and profiting were now being talked about in the capital.

Zhao Quan's house has been found, and the woman introduced by Xu Qingqing has been trained almost according to Liang Jia's requirements, and all kinds of personnel have been recruited, as long as the principal is in place, they can start opening immediately.

100,000 taels of silver were escorted to Zhao Quan's house overnight, and an underground warehouse had been built in the house, surrounded by thick iron rods to prevent someone from digging tunnels to steal. There are three doors at the entrance of the cave, each with a key, and the keys are in the hands of Zhao Quan, Xu Qingqing and a person in charge of supervision in Dongchang.

If you want to enter the door and withdraw cash, you must be present at the same time and show the key at the same time.

Although this method is a bit inefficient, it is still necessary for a place like Qianzhuang to take measures at the initial stage.

So, three days later, a shop called Daliang Royal Money Bank was opened, and the name was quite straightforward, telling everyone that this money bank had royal shares in it.

Leaflets were plastered all over the streets.

There is interest when you save money, and you can withdraw it as you save, and the slogan that the interest rate of regular deposit silver is higher has quickly become a topic of conversation among many people in Beijing.

At the entrance of the Royal Bank, the activity of saving money and giving gifts is being held warmly. Under the call of dozens of nurseries, there are really people who have the attitude of giving it a try, deposit a certain amount of silver, and then take the gifts home, and then run back to withdraw the money, try to see if it is as you save and take.
