Chapter 131 Human-powered Taxi
"Zuo Shuzi has won the prize! In fact, I followed Zuo Shuzi's train of thought to think! I just don't know if it's right!
Zuo Shuzi took out such drawings to help those disaster victims!
What do the victims lack most now?
Originally, it was food, clothing, and housing, but now these have been solved with the help of Zuo Shuzi, and the lack is not so serious!
What the victims lack most now is a job, as long as they have a job, they can earn money and support their families! Liu Congjian was very modest.
"Very good! I've been thinking about an idea for a long time, and you just look at the drawings and come up with it! Zhang Junping praised Liu Congjian with a smile.
was praised by Zhang Junping so much, Liu Congjian's heart felt like eating honey, and it was like drinking a glass of hot milk in winter, and he was refreshed.
"Although the one-time investment in making rickshaws is relatively large, he can earn a long-term income
There is no problem with a rickshaw tinkering for ten years, and the rent of a car for ten cents a day can earn 3,650 yuan a year, and ten years is 36,500 yuan!
The production cost of a rickshaw is about ten dollars, plus the operating costs, a car a year is calculated at six hundred and fifty dollars, so that after ten years, a car can earn 20,000 yuan! ”
"It's only 20,000 dollars in ten years, it's not interesting!" Liu Meiba clicked her mouth and said quietly.
Today's commander Liu Du can no longer look down on this kind of petty profit.
Ten years to earn twenty times of money, only two times a year, he went out for a meal, more than that.
"Uncle Liu, that's not how the account is calculated!" Zhang Junping smiled and shook his head.
"Yes! Daddy, Zuo Shuzi calculates the money of a car, what if we make a thousand cars, ten thousand cars? That's a lot! ”
"Ten thousand cars? Kaifeng Mansion can use so many rickshaws? Liu Mei shook her head and objected.
"Although Kaifeng Mansion can't use so many rickshaws, how many rickshaws can be used in the entire Great Song Dynasty?" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
The business of rickshaw dealers is similar to the taxi business of later generations, and this business is not something that anyone can do.
In this kind of business, making money depends on a monopoly.
Although the rickshaw designed by Zhang Junping has a shock absorbing spring, the production process is not complicated, as long as there is a physical object, it can be imitated quickly.
If it is a common man or an ordinary businessman, he will soon be crushed by the imitation rickshaws that fill the streets.
There is only a noble like the Liu family, you can do it, and you don't have to worry about others imitating it, if you dare to fake it, you can't kill you, so you don't know what it is.
The Liu family can still prosper for more than ten years, at least in these ten years, the Liu family can guarantee that no one in the entire Song Dynasty dares to imitate.
Even if you are the head snake in the local area, you can't really be the commander of the forbidden army, the dragon guard, and the four compartments?
The more places they are, the higher the power of the Liu family, they dare to imitate, and directly send the forbidden army masters to destroy the door, but no one speaks for them.
Even the current Zhang family can't do this, his prestige can only ensure that no one in Kaifeng Mansion dares to imitate it, and he really can't take care of it when he leaves Kaifeng Mansion.
The Great Song Dynasty now has 14 prefectures and more than 240 continents, and a continent can be arranged according to its size, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and tens of thousands of rickshaws cannot be stopped at all.
In fact, the most important thing is that the driving dealer does not need to worry much, as long as it can control the market, you can sit back and wait to collect money.
Over there, Liu Congjian is also analyzing the profit margins for Liu Mei.
"Alright! Since you all think you can make money, do it! Anyway, the family's business is all in charge of Saburo! With the fairy drink and the huge profits of bullfighting, Liu Mei is a little disdainful of the business that only earns tens of thousands of yuan a year, and she has no strength to speak.
"Uncle Liu Shi, I don't know if the cotton clothes can be done tomorrow?
The people can't afford to wait! Zhang Junping didn't care about this with Liu Mei, and asked about the cotton clothes with a smile.
"Alright! Tomorrow afternoon, you ask those three to come to me, and I'll have them take them to pick up the cotton clothes!" Liu Mei had no room to shirk, so she had to agree.
In Liu Mei's opinion, this business is more profitable than that rickshaw.
Say a word by yourself, and 50,000 yuan will be in hand.
"That little nephew has thanked Uncle Liu Shi on behalf of the people of Kaifeng Mansion!" After getting the letter, Zhang Junping hugged his fists and thanked him.
……
Back at home, Zhang Junping arranged for someone to go to Gao's house, Cao's house, and Yang's family to deliver letters, asking them to go to Liu Mei tomorrow afternoon to buy cotton clothes.
"Lang Jun, everything has been arranged on the farm, but there is still a shortage of food!" Zhang Lu came in to report.
Today, Zhang Lu rushed to the farm outside the city with craftsmen to help the tenants of the farm repair their houses, build ondols, and distribute grain.
"How much is missing?"
"There are now more than 9,700 tenant farmers in our three farms, and most of them don't have much surplus food at home!"
"Huh! More than 9,700 mouthfuls, and there is no surplus food? Zhang Junping chuckled and shook his head, "I didn't collect their tenant rent this year, and there is still no surplus grain!" ”
"Lang Jun, although our family did not collect tenant rent this year, it was only more than 3,000 acres of land, and the tenant rent of the more than 30,000 acres of land newly bought later was taken away from the original land!" Zhang Lu explained in a low voice.
Zhang Junping didn't blame anything, but he was just sighing.
The yield per mu in this era was too low, and three acres of land per capita could not feed a person.
Of course, this means that the surplus grain after paying the imperial grain and tenant rent cannot feed a person.
It can be seen that the hardships of the people in ancient times were not only due to the imperial court system, but also caused by the low level of productivity.
Zhang Junping can be said to be a conscientious landlord, and he was directly exempted from the tenant rent for one quarter, so that he still can't eat enough, which is very revealing.
"You can't watch them go hungry, arrange for someone to buy some food, let them get through this first!"
"Whoa!"
"How's the kang going?"
"Dozens of craftsmen and tenants in Zhuangzi have worked together, and more than 30 ondols have been built today!"
"Hmmm! You tell Master Wang that those craftsmen who are freezing are also idle, and ask him to find more craftsmen.
Strive to transform the tenant homes of the three Zhuangzi into ondols within one Qiyao! ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Lu agreed loudly.
"Lang Jun, you are too kind-hearted, you are a little too good to those tenants, this ......" Zhang Fu reminded in a whisper beside him.
"Huh! Fauber is reminding me to be careful about the promotion of Mien and Mi Hatred, right?
It's okay, it's just some bitterness haha, what kind of grudge can they remember me?
Am I afraid that they will take revenge on me?
Those who are grateful will continue to stay in Zhuangzi to farm, and if they have the opportunity to arrange other work for them in the future, those who are not satisfied will be driven out directly!
By the way, Fauber, is the stove I want from the blacksmith ready? You send someone to urge you tomorrow! ”
"Whoa!" Seeing that Zhang Junping understood, Zhang Fu didn't say anything anymore, but just agreed.
