Chapter 241 Operation
This kind of verbal abuse quarrel is just the beginning, Sun Xiangfu doesn't think that they really tear their faces because of this, and they must have the interests that make them feel painful before they can take substantive action.
"I look at your father's appearance, it doesn't seem to be too shocking to live in a few other houses!" Sun Xiangfu looked at Wang Xudao, who looked depressed when he left the hall.
"This is not a question of whether it is shocked, it is a question of whether it must be allowed or not, do you know how many serfs and money they have prepared this time to Shanyang? There are no less than 30,000 households in each family, and the cash money is at least one million. ”
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu's eyes narrowed, he knew early on that these top families had a deep heritage, but he didn't want to be so deep, he couldn't let them bring all the money back to the rotten warehouse, he had to come out of the pit to invigorate the economy.
"Wang Gongzi, the matter of the land, I'm afraid it can't be decided by us discussing it here, the imperial court sent a supervising imperial history group to Shanyang, and the governor can only act in accordance with the rules formulated at that time, before the governor reminded you when he was in Shuanghualing, you have to prepare more money, I don't know how you prepared?"
"Hehe, no matter how strong they are, in this merger of states, it is still my Wang family who has the advantage, five million yuan in cash Ben Gongzi has been ready early in the morning, and there are more, and recently this piece of spices, Ben Gongzi also has a million guan income." When Wang Xu heard this, he was a little complacent. Looking at Sun Xiangfu's expression, he knew that there was something to follow.
"Five million guan, it's enough, if there is any unexpected situation at the auction, Wang Gongzi should not be soft, the land, what should be taken will be taken, once they take it, it will restrain the development of the Wang family."
When he heard the figure of five million guan, Sun Xiangfu's heart twitched, no wonder Wang Lin dared to say that his Wang family's restaurants worth tens of thousands of guan in various places were just a small industry, and the wealth of the original family was so deep, what is the wealth of the rich country? This is the rich rival country, in about a month to raise two years of tax revenue in the Tang Dynasty, how much war money the family made in the late Han Dynasty over the years is really immeasurable, these black money can no longer be in their hands.
Therefore, Sun Xiangfu wants to muddy the water and disrupt their rhythm, and it is best to make them lose their minds, so that they can maximize the benefits of their hard-earned results in Shuozhou.
"This, Ben Gongzi naturally knows, but you didn't leave some land for Ben Gongzi in private?" Wang Xu asked tentatively.
"Of course, there is, the type of land that this governor has delineated, spanning a radius of more than 600 li, and the actual fields that can be planted are at least 8 million mu, and between Shanyang and Dingxiang City, there are nearly 3 million mu, but this governor has not drawn it on the map."
When Sun Xiangfu takes a 'Bendu', he usually hopes that Wang Xu will come to beg him.
Sure enough, when Wang Xu heard this, his face was overjoyed, he looked at the direction of the main hall, and pulled Sun Xiangfu aside and whispered, "These three million acres of land, but you want to cooperate with my Wang family to develop it?" ”
Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "It's no problem to cooperate in development, but there are restrictions on what can be planted in these fields, and you can only grow oats." ”
Listening to Wang Xu say the words 'cooperative development', Sun Xiangfu guessed that Wang's recent recruitment of tenants in Shanyang was not very smooth, because there were too many places to recruit workers, and the salary was once high, and the most important thing was that the grassland herdsmen could not cultivate and could not meet his requirements.
"Oats?"
"That's right, if Wang Gongzi really has the ability to plant these three million acres of land, I can call the shots and hand over these lands to you for planting, but the oat grass produced will belong to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the oat seeds will belong to you, if you plant according to the planting method I taught you, the yield of oat seeds per mu should be more than three stones, but it is not lower than the grain yield in the Central Plains."
Oats have a history of more than 3,000 years of cultivation in China, and in later generations, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia have maintained more than 15 million acres of planting areas, because this crop is a treasure.
Oat grass, the yield of fresh grass per mu can reach 8,000 catties, hay, can also reach 2,000 catties, with it, the herdsmen on the grassland, there is no concern about livestock forage, and the reason why Sun Xiangfu encouraged Wang Xu to plant 3 million acres of oat fields is because he wants to make the reserve forage of Shanyang City and Dingxiang City enough to meet the needs of all the herdsmen in the jurisdiction of the livestock for winter.
Not only oat grass, the yield of oat seeds per mu can also reach about 400 catties, which is a healthy food with high fiber content, which is positioned as a functional food by later generations, and can basically be used as a staple food in this period.
Previously, after the investigation of the land outside the Guan, Sun Xiangfu knew some of the yield data of oats planted during this period, which was really miserable, even if the people in the land of Guanzhong were not good at farming in Sun Xiangfu's opinion, not to mention the things that were planted by people who were not good at farming in the eyes of the people outside Guanzhong, so he decided to promote the mature oat planting technology in later generations on a large scale.
However, at the moment, he does not have the manpower to do this, because there are too many development projects to be carried out, and even the army can't recruit people, let alone get tens of thousands of people to complete the development of millions of acres of land.
And these three million acres of land are also an introduction for him to throw out and let the family fight.
When everyone thinks that the strength of the Wang family is unbeatable, when they get rid of them, they will inevitably rise up and attack it, although the seven clans and five surnames are cooperative postures at a large level, but small conflicts of interest are constant, when Wang Lin wanted to bring down Zheng Peicheng, in Xinfeng County to take the land, is the real situation between the families, they are growing at the same time, in fact, they are in a state of competition, and what Sun Xiangfu wants is that this state of competition is out of control and becomes a large-scale vicious competition.
"Can the yield per mu of oat seeds really reach more than three stones?"
How could Wang Xu, who lives and hunts in the land of the state all the year round, not know oats, there are a lot of wild things on the grassland, and it is one of the main foods that the herdsmen find to satisfy their hunger when they are in difficulty, and some people plant, but the yield is worse than that of wheat and millet, if it is really as Sun Xiangfu said, the yield of wheat seeds can reach more than three stones, it is indeed a money-making project, after all, these three million acres of land were given to him by Sun Xiangfubai.
"In terms of yield, there is only a lot more, and besides, this oat field is not as troublesome as wheat and rice fields, except that it is more troublesome when opening the field, and after that, if there are excellent farm tools, there is no problem for each family to plant 80 acres and 100 acres."
Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was sure of what he said, Wang Xu naturally would not refuse this kind of good thing that could make a lot of money, and after finalizing the details with Sun Xiangfu on some specific things for planting, the two returned to the hall again.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall has eased a lot, seeing the joy that his son's eyes can't hide, Wang Rui's heart is a little more determined, in the round of competition just now, he finally won a piece of 500,000 acres of land, this field is around the lake area, rich in water, I believe that as long as these families do not compete with him, when the land is auctioned, those small and medium-sized families will definitely not be able to compete with themselves.
"Have you made up your mind?" Sun Xiangfu looked at the people whose faces were still unhappy, and asked loudly.
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, anyway, there are still a few days before the day of the auction, you go back first, I will wait for the final discussion of the results, you just need to implement the method, the old man and a few others, and ensure that you can do it steadily."
Cui Hong was already a little dissatisfied with the final result, and said to Sun Xiangfu with a straight face.
Sun Xiangfu naturally didn't like to see the faces of these old guys here, and after saluting and retiring, he returned to the house on horseback.
"Tell Shen Xing'er to come to the study to see me."
Handing over the reins to Zhang Ke, Sun Xiangfu walked into the study quickly, took the pen and dipped it in ink, and a letter was quickly written, and after wrapping it in stationery, Shen Xing'er was already waiting outside the study.
"You secretly hand over this letter to Wei Zheng, the imperial historian who is rushing to Shuozhou, and don't leak any rumors."
"Subordinates receive orders."
Shen Xing'er took the envelope and quickly retreated, but Sun Xiangfu was slowly pacing in the study and thinking about the things behind.
In addition to cultivating the existing land in the Guannei, the Wang family can mobilize more than 30,000 serfs, and these more than 30,000 households must leave at least about 10,000 households to plant spice fields.
Then, the remaining manpower is almost enough to help Wang Rui develop the 500,000 mu of land he may win at the land auction, and then, what manpower will he use to reclaim 3 million mu of oat fields?
Sun Xiangfu expected that he would not have manpower, and he would not give up the huge interests of three million acres of land, so he would definitely make another plan for the matter of serfs, so who had serfs who was beaten by him?
There are only seven clans and five surnames of other families and those small and medium-sized families in various places, no matter which direction he moves, a fight is inevitable.
And whether this auction can provoke a full-scale battle among the families, there are a few important points, whether the small and medium-sized families have the courage to say no to the monopoly of the seven clans and five surnames, and whether they have the courage to unite against them.
There are also seven clans and five surnames, whether they can be satisfied with the final distribution of benefits, and if they are not satisfied, will the rift be very deep.
The three million acres of oat fields are what Sun Xiangfu released to continue to deepen the rift between the Wang family and several other families, and by the way, it can also solve some livelihood problems, why not do it!
And Wei Zheng is one of the key figures in Sun Xiangfu's series of plans, he was born in the Shandong Shi clan, he is fair and resolute, he supports those small and medium-sized families, perhaps, can twist those people into a rope, at least, at the auction, dare to bid.
Of course, in Sun Xiangfu's letter to him, he not only mentioned this, but confessed that he had reached an agreement with Wang Xu in private to give him 3 million acres of land in vain, and asked Wei Zheng to shake out the matter, and it was best to impeach him before the auction began, so that everyone knew about it.
What he was a little unsure about now was how the other families would react when they knew that in addition to the 800,000 mu of spice fields, the Wang family had also obtained 3 million mu of land for free, and they were still sparing no effort to compete with them for the fields sold at auction.
The best result is, of course, that they all fry the pot and work together to kick the Wang family out of the game, and the next time, they will ignore the agreement with the Wang family, and when they compete for the price, they will fight with the Wang family for wealth and forcibly rob the land booked by the Wang family.
Anyway, Sun Xiangfu took a thing that he was going to do to make a fuss, and while deepening the rift of several houses, it is possible to raise the income of the auction, which is very good, as for the next step, people are not as good as heaven, and after doing it, we will see the reactions of each family.
In addition to considering the matter of the seven sects and five surnames, Sun Xiangfu also had to consider the affairs of Hu Shang in the Western Regions, in two days, the total price of Hu Shang's goods in Shanyang has exceeded two million, perfumes, essential oils, spirits, tea, is the first choice to purchase items, Shanyang City's inventory has been basically emptied, and then there are glass handicrafts, ceramics, clothing, cloth, spices, ingredients, and the like.
Today is the last day, the turnover is still concentrated, and Sun Xiangfu can see what kind of goods are needed more in the Western Regions according to the statistics of their purchase intention table, and the competition for the development and production of the goods they need will ensure that next year, the export side can continue to maintain prosperity and growth.
Don't underestimate the benefits of this bit of foresight, in case the rhythm is not stable, once there is an overproduction, many goods may be smashed into your hands.
Sun Xiangfu is so keen on business, but not only because he is short of money at this stage, but also because the court is short of money in the disaster year, once the wealth of the court accumulates enough, and his investment recovers the cost, those families want to jump, Sun Xiangfu has a way to kill them in minutes, the horror of capital, only future generations understand.
