CHAPTER XXXI
30 Zhou Dao began to care about his chicken coop, as Haizi said, only caring about vegetables and grain, and then waiting for the spring flowers to bloom.
Seeing that the rooster is about to be slaughtered, the hen is not far from laying eggs. Zhou Dao said that the price of his chickens was only half of the market price, but he had to come to the door to pick it up, and he should buy no less than ten chickens. If there are less than ten, the unit price will increase by 40%, which is still cheaper than the outside. Am I heavenly? He's completely nonsense, and he doesn't talk about the rules!
This is definitely another hot topic in the neighborhood. As a result, everyone immediately saw the result: his chickens had not yet been slaughtered, and there were already people waiting for them, willing to pay the money first and then take the chickens. Zhou Dao introduced the concept of wholesale in chicken raising, cultivating his middlemen, and maybe there will be franchisees in the future.
As far as he has heard and seen, the current chicken raising is basically a single family, and the most harmful ones are one hundred and ten Dingtian, and he now has eight or nine hundred chickens, and the chicken coop will be at least doubled during the New Year. There are not many people who manage the chicken coop, but the division of labor is clear, and at the same time, experienced veterans are hired to check the technology. Due to the large number of raising, the average labor cost is not high, and it is very low when it is spread to each chicken. The chickens raised by those villagers also have labor costs, and they are not low, but their own labor is not counted, and there is no scale and no climate, and it is difficult to concentrate on them.
Speaking of feed, in fact, this is the advantage of his mill, there is no need to say more. In short, his feed cost and labor cost are relatively low, and at the same time, he subcontracts the retail link of sales, which is a big piece of expenditure in terms of cost. Then the price he makes, others can't do, as long as he reaches a certain sales volume, he can amortize his fixed costs, and he can make money. Speaking of which, he wants to use attractive prices to attract customers, use volume and price to form a strong impact on the local market, and simultaneously form a new business model, and finally achieve a virtuous circle. As for what the retailer sells, he doesn't care, he doesn't control the price. It is their ability to sell at a high price, which is equivalent to leading customers to the chicken farm in disguise and giving him a head. As long as his chickens keep laying eggs, he will have a steady stream of cheap eggs pouring into the local area, and his hand will not be stretched too long, let the market go to the market.
From the moment he decided to raise chickens, he made this plan, he wanted to turn the small farmers who used to raise chickens as a side business into those who helped him sell chickens, and he wanted to control and become the upper reaches of the food chain. That's what he calculated.
Of course, he knew that this would upset the old balance and pattern, but he was more sure that he had to do it, and how much hatred would he pull? Someone has already paid a hundred times to buy his head, and he doesn't care if he adds one or two. He has no time, and he can't take care of it, isn't there still Bai Ye who will cover him? You can't let Bai Ye be idle and have nothing to do. The matter of buying a human head was originally made up to intimidate him in order to force him to comply, but in the face of such a strong Bai Ye and the knives of his many brothers, he had no choice, so he could only take advantage of the situation and survive in the cracks.
There were two pieces of news in the wax moon, one was bad news and the other was bad news. First, the Mongols who went south crossed Tubo and fought with the Song army on the front line of Jiazhou and Luzhou, and the Song army was personally supervised by the military department Shangshu Yu Yu Dashuai, and the current battle situation is unknown. Second, due to the tight war, the levy of grain and husband has now begun. All households are subject to the approval of the Lizheng and township levels, and must levy grain according to the level of the grade, and then report it to the county for collection.
The conscripts first went to the county seat according to the rule of one person from each household, and then organized in batches to go to the front line to carry out errands such as transporting grain, and those who could not go could also use money to serve in the service. At this moment, the people were panicked, and they were all complaining about this matter for days, and some wealthy and wealthy families who had made quick moves had begun to pack up their money and flee east with their families. It seems that don't think about having a good year.
There are indeed people who don't want him to celebrate the New Year, he has been approved as a first-class household in this county, and this time the grain must be cleared 60 or the corresponding grain.
"Who the hell is harming people on this dog day!" Zhou Dao was furious at that time, "Your mother, Lao Tzu opened a mill and bought the entire piece of land for only seventy yuan, and this grain will be collected for sixty yuan, all for you?" You're just going to do it! He yelled at Wu Lushi from the town who had come to inform him. Alas, Zhou Gongzi, you don't have to be angry with me, this is what you are reporting to the county and the county government has reviewed. I'm just here to let you know, what do you mean by yelling at me? If you are not convinced, you will find them. Hum! He shook his sleeves and walked away.
"Dog, I have to find them out, and I will be silent and black." He found the Qu family, and the old man Qu was the Lizheng here, "We are the first-class household for you, but the first-class household at the town level." The same is true of your present situation, although you are a foreigner, and you are not registered, but you have lived here for more than a year, according to the law, you must be taxed and forced according to the law. As for the first-class households in the county, that's not something we can determine. "Who's that order?" "How do I know? You'll have to ask the county lord about this. Old man Qu sent him away in two words.
Zhou Dao walked depressedly on the way home, "The first-class households in the county? He didn't believe it, "Dog, I don't know which bastard is Gao Fengliang who threw all the places and this title to Lao Tzu?" "
