Chapter 420: Rum
If it is said that the new immigrants in Quang Nam Province vote for the most satisfactory national policy, then there may not be a choice of Vietnamese girls who are smart, and the cheapness of the land here, these things may not be absent in the hometown of Guangdong.
What really satisfied them was the Blackwater Security Company established last year, the employees of these companies were based on the northern veterans as the core, supplemented by the local Belt and Road Party, receiving orders from the government, and sub-divisions were contracted to carry out sweeping operations.
Of course, this can be regarded as a helpless move, but for more than a year, we have invested in educating the few ignorant masses who block the progress of the wheel of history.
Anyway, the degree of harmony should be about the same as that of the American West in 1800, harmonious.
As an enterprise with shares held by the Presbyterian Investment Committee and employee dividends, the execution efficiency of Heishui Security is still very high, and the sources of their employees are complex, such as the Xiangma of Shandong, the horse thief of Mongolia, the swordsman of the Northwest, the head of the former army, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry under Wu Sangui, in short, they are all people who are not very suitable for the atmosphere of the peaceful era.
In the original history, it was a combination of scum composed of these people who went south to attack Jiangnan together, and the key problem was that any regime with a little vitality found that Jiangnan had accumulated too much money, but refused to pay a penny of national taxes, and at the same time, these guys with force in their hands couldn't stop them from looting the entire Jiangnan anyway.
These negative energy guys are still good at controlling and using, and at the same time, these skills can't be wasted.
Of course, it is still very important for their psychological construction and internal control.
"A few military masters, hard work, please here."
"Thank you, fellow, you can get some water, it's covered in blood."
The men looked lazy, laughing a few words from time to time, boasting to each other about their personal bravery today.
"That's what you have to do in the future, there is grass everywhere, and it's almost impossible to get close to those villages and grass huts, but you have to beat the grass and scare the snakes, and then divide and surround them, and these monkey traps are becoming more and more vicious."
"The smoke bombs given above are always out of stock, and the tear gas bombs are always close to the grandsons of the old grandson first, and I have to talk to the above, and if you want to do things, you have to be these cool good guys."
"A few military masters, come, this is freshly boiled hot water......
"Well said."
Looking at a few men who were drinking water and resting, he suddenly said: "A few military masters, are you going back to Hue, these women might as well sell them to me, my son still lacks a few ...... to warm his feet."
"you, uncle has worked hard, it's for your son to find a woman."
"I will give money, and I will never let the military master suffer."
I have to say that at present, the mouths of the people of the Blackwater Security Company are high, at the beginning, maybe they still don't care about meat and vegetables, and the ugly and beautiful are brought back, but the more later, they begin to look down on the average woman, many times they are killed directly, and only select the beauty of one out of a hundred miles and a thousand miles to bring back, just like these few brought to the farm, if it is in the hometown of Guangdong, it is definitely a real stunning, not something that a small and medium-sized family like them can touch.
But when it comes here, it's a good thing that everyone is happy, how many bachelors have married Internet celebrity-level beauties in later generations?
"Don't think about it, these women are for a brother of mine, he broke his leg when he was in Zhancheng to suppress bandits, and now he can only retire, don't we brothers hurry up to get him more women, serve the maids, and pass on the lineage by the way."
"A military master, so many ......"
"Why, can't we soldiers play with a dozen women, just allow you to play."
"Don't dare, don't dare, the military master is fierce, a dozen is not enough."
"Even if you can speak, he just broke his leg, it's no problem to walk and do things, with these women, and then to the ground, that little day, hey, we still have to continue to save our wife's capital, it's difficult."
A few people muttered, these women are all "retirement gifts", naturally they can't be sloppy, this can be regarded as a matter for the elders to turn a blind eye, otherwise you will occupy a dozen women alone, and others will not be alive.
The key problem is that the rebellion provoked in this way is also borne by these people, and unconsciously, whether it is the men from the north who come to lick the blood with knives, or the merchants and farmers from Liangguang, they are all bound to the South Asian strategy of the Presbyterian Church.
Wu Liang's business is quite prosperous, but a person who has come out of an agricultural society still uses his life on his own field, a strong man or a strong woman who has not joined the army can get a hundred acres of land, of course, the right to choose is not as good as those veterans, but it is also a gathering of thousands of acres of land, widely planted and harvested, and the grain and sugarcane that can be beaten are also massive.
For now, they still like familiar things like rice and sugar cane, and they have some doubts about the coffee that the Presbyterian Church has always recommended, in fact, Vietnam and Guangdong did not start to introduce coffee until after the Opium War, and coffee was not grown until 1949.
In terms of agriculture, being too conservative is also a big problem in traditional Chinese society.
So at present, the most important thing is still sugar.
Sugar extraction is a technical job, but fortunately, with the guidance of the presbyterian council, even if it is not efficient, there is no one who has not accumulated a few tons of dozens of tons of white sugar, brown sugar or mountains of sugar cane.
At this time, rum technology is much more interesting, compared to the slightly saturated white sugar in the market, rum is a good thing for both China and foreign countries.
Of course, this is also a technical job, but fortunately, with similar fermentation technology, housewives can complete it in the kitchen at home, tinkering for a few days, which is not very difficult in nature, the key is craftsmanship and hard work.
The Wu family has no other way, the government can't afford to offend, especially those like their own who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and defected to the imperial capital, they didn't dare to disobey, but fortunately, it didn't seem to be so difficult?
Fermented and distilled from sugar cane and honey, the production process is simple and inexpensive, and it will make the spirits of drunken drunkards compared to those with too high a degree, which is much milder than the alcohol content, and is more suitable for drinking without death or women.
The resources of Quang Nam Province are not lacking, the only problem is that the people in power in the past dynasties are not good things, just do it, do it quickly, the Wu family makes wine barrels, wine vessels, excavates fermentation cellars, cuts down trees, tosses up, although stumbling, but with the guidance of technicians who inspect back and forth, everything is also smooth.
After a few months, barrels of liquor were transported to the banks of the Fuliang River, loaded onto ships and transported to Hong Kong, and after arriving at the relay station in Hong Kong, merchants from all walks of life naturally went out to mix them and transport them to Guangdong, the north, or overseas.
This is also digging up the roots of the Portuguese in disguise.
The distribution center in the era of maritime trade can be said to be the most prosperous place for the economy.
In contrast to the prosperity of the production area in later generations, the importance of logistics and transportation is indispensable if commerce is to flourish.
A Yangtze River, including Sichuan brocade, Jingdezhen porcelain, and Jiangxi tea, needs to be transported to Shanghai, and then loaded into maritime ships and shipped separately.
The real efficient business method, or take a special route, a variety of different goods, in order to reduce the risk, this is also a rule of thumb, if only one kind of goods, then we must beware of the possibility of a temporary price collapse of this thing, bring a few more, so that they will not be able to afford it.
Therefore, in the later generations of economically developed places, it is required to integrate river ports and seaports, whether it is Shanghai, New York or London.
As a large port, Haiphong Port is naturally a pioneer area that has taken over economic reform.
Of course, what makes Wu Liang a little dissatisfied is that although he received 80,000 yuan in the account, it can be said that the entire family has never received so much money, if the deal is reached, he can almost surpass countless ancestors and become the leader of the family's wealth.
But when he actually received the contract and signed it, what he got from the bespectacled gentleman was a large stack of paper......
Wu Liang looked at the money, his heart trembled, and said, "Uncle, this is not a joke, this is our family's hard-earned money for a year." ”
"Yes, eighty thousand, a total of eight piles, one hundred yuan each, you count carefully."
"This is paper, and it's not a silver ticket of any money number......
"This is the banknote issued by the People's Bank of the Imperial Capital, if you want to exchange cash, you can go to the opposite bank to change money, I seem to have prepared so much cash here, just at the opposite door."
Wu Liang couldn't hold back his crying, in fact, it was the soldiers standing guard on the side who made him sober up.
When he went out with these banknotes, he looked blankly, there was indeed a big sign hanging on the door, and there were countless people queuing, today was the day of checkout, and naturally there were many people settling the contract.
The people in front were basically the ones who signed the contract with the imperial capital, and they were silent one by one, Wu Liang brought a lot of children and nephews, who originally came with a cart, and the family was waiting to get out of the pot, and even discussed how much commission they gave to the gentlemen of the government.
However, when I got here, I didn't say a word and gave these papers.
Queue up one by one, there are a lot of people in front, but someone maintains order, naturally no one dares to make trouble, and when the queue arrives, they walk into the trading desk.
Wu Liang has to wait a long time to arrive, but he doesn't care at all, there are not many people with a sense of time in this era.
"Save money or withdraw money?"
"I'll change money."
……
"A total of 80,000, will it be exchanged for gold or silver?"
"yes, that's a lot."
"According to the market price, 80,000 yuan is 8,000 taels of silver, and the price of the imperial capital is 1:10, so it is 800 taels of gold, and if it is silver, it is 8,000 taels, but the gold needs to be exchanged for water, one percent, which one do you want?"
"I still want silver."
"Well, let's go get the money in the back."
Someone pushed out the cart sooner, and the whole box of silver dollars was there.
This is real money, Wu Liang's strength is really terrifying, he actually scratched his hand, and walked out of the bank like this, and the other nephews followed, he suddenly muttered like a dream.
However, this is also quite eye-catching, and the family soon wants to go back, but looking at the dazzling things on the street, several children and nephews are distracted.
"Uncle, if you don't buy more new clothes for your aunt and them to wear, and those little six, you can't be wronged when you go to the school to study."
Wu Liang said: "Look at how much this is, how eye-catching, let's go home quickly." ”
"How good this law and order is, and no one cares."
Recently, it was the day of the payment, and the Council of Elders had mobilized a huge amount of gold and silver at once to fill the demand here, and of course, these needs would soon return as the goods were sold.
A one-time million taels of silver spilled can be called a business behavior in human history, but it is so uneventful, the reason is naturally that they have a way to recover their investment!
Clearing the ground in advance, not allowing the existence of unemployed people and begging people, and under the comprehensive management of various strikes, as long as it is in the area ruled by the presbyterian church, it is very normal for the law and order to be good.
"All sound and healthy, the whole body is healthy, let's take a look at the new vitamin supplements, pure natural, eat to prolong life."
"Come and see, you can listen to the big play, listen to the radio of the storytelling, and the jumping price is only 500 yuan."
"Brother, do you know An Li."
"Wanaike ......"
Good things, everyone sees it, the desire to shop is what any human being persists, if it is not for the lack of money, the tractor is really a good thing, it costs more than 10,000 yuan.
However, the caliber of these stores is very consistent: "I'm sorry, this is a regular store, please use paper money for large payments, and we still have to count the silver dollars one by one." ”
Wu Liang had to take the whole family back to line up, gritted his teeth and exchanged 5,000 yuan first, but the 5,000 yuan is too unbearable to spend, even if the old farmer's simple temperament attacks, but some money really has to be spent, just buy clothes, but the radio must be bought, buy a radio, and buy a solar cover.
When you're older, you always need something good.
Food and clothing don't count, the full set of tractors and planting and harvesting machines are very good, but it costs a lot of money like this, do you have to add it up together?
After spending a lot of money, and then working hard to transport the money back, after settling the accounts, I decided to buy the tractor and a complete set of utensils, and there are many things to add, as well as the ancestral hall of my hometown to be repaired, and the doll relatives ordered by several children and nephews to prepare......
After twisting for a long time, Wu Liang found that although he had made the biggest fortune in the history of the family, the money was quickly spent, and there was no way, so he transported the silver back to Haiphong and exchanged it for paper money.
He swore in his heart that if he made money in the future, he would just exchange it for paper money, and it would be crazy to move such a large amount of silver in and out.
It is the trend for paper money to replace gold coins, as long as there are reserves in the bank to exchange them at any time.
Originally, there was also the idea of burying a large amount of gold and silver in the cellar according to the old habits, but after thinking about it left and right, there was not a single tael that should be saved.
The tractor was doing its work, but there were ten cows on top of it.
