Chapter 719: Selling Land Is Really Profitable (First Update)
Chapter 719
After two or three years, Wang Yang believes that with his own ability, as well as His Majesty's trust, and the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty, he will definitely be able to expand the territory, and at that time, as long as there are still people in the Great Song Dynasty who want to wear cheap and wear-resistant fabrics, then this factory will never be able to fall.
"300,000 quintals of gold, 780,000 taels of silver, more than 3,178,000 taels of copper coins, in addition, we have obtained about 670,000 quintals of grain, 430,000 horses of silk cloth, and various farming tools worth nearly 1.5 million quintals, as well as a large amount of materials."
"That's enough food alone to last 700,000 people for a year. Isn't that too much, my lord? Gao Yu inhaled like a toothache, raised his head and looked at Wang Yangdao.
"Is it much? Don't forget, our consumption is not only these people, but also those prisoners of war laborers, but also those soldiers and their families who are ready to migrate. Even if it's more, it doesn't matter, it's the so-called food in your hands, don't panic in your heart......" Wang Yang waved his hand and smiled.
"That's true, but next time, will the cotton fields in the other two states be sold in this proportion?" After Gao Yu nodded, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Well, let's look at it then, first look at the proportion of the first batch of people to arrive, and also need to see how much of the living materials they need, anyway, there are still cotton fields in Youzhou and Hongzhou.
After surveying, Youzhou has at least nearly 3 million acres of cotton fields, while Hongzhou has less than 700,000 mu, after all, Hongzhou relies on the Wuding River, irrigation is easy, and most areas can be grazing, so it is not as suitable for growing cotton as the arid Youzhou......
Gao Yu nodded and quickly reported a set of numbers. "The cotton fields in Hongzhou are about 711,325 mu, while in Youzhou they are 2,940,873 mu."
"By the way, my lord, those fields where you can grow food ......"
"Not a single acre is sold, all of it is allocated by the government, and all the people who settle here can get land according to the population, but for ten years, it is not allowed to buy and sell."
"As for those Han people who originally lived here, as long as they are sincerely willing to become the obedient people of my Great Song Dynasty, they will also be given the same treatment......
With Wang Yang's words, those officials have worked hard to keep Wang Yang's policies in mind, and of course, there are indispensable officials next to them who copy Wang Yang's instructions on paper, and when this Wang Jingluo checks and approves, and after signing the detention, it will become the official document of the three states.
After holding a government meeting with these officials, Wang Yang took Gao Yu and hurried away, they did not leave the palace, but turned around and went to the depths of the government.
"Six million eight thousand, this, so much money, if I want to dedicate it to the court, it will soon catch up with the ...... of my annual tax income in the Great Song Dynasty."
The official in charge of the treasury work, Li Zhen, that is, Wang Yang's uncle, and Li Qingzhao's cousin looked at the treasury with dull eyes, looking at the board cars, those servants sweated like rain to push the board cars top, there were wooden boxes that had not had time to be painted, and they were transported towards the government treasury.
Since Wang Yang came here, this guy pounced in Huanzhou, which made him extremely depressed, but when a large number of grassroots officials were needed in these three states, Li Zhen finally got the opportunity and rushed over to serve his cousin-in-law.
Although this guy usually seems to be very out of tune, when it comes to doing work, he can be regarded as a solid and willing official to use his brains. That's why Wang Yang also entrusted him with such important work.
"My lord, my lord, the twelfth storehouse is already full...... At this time, a scribe ran over with a stinky sweat on his head and reported loudly to Li Ji.
"When the twelfth is full, then open it...... What the hell, do we still have a warehouse? Li Zhen rubbed his brows, his mood was extremely painful, and of course there was an extreme happiness hovering.
There is too much money and all kinds of materials, take copper coins as an example, 1,000 pieces is equal to the same, and there are more than 3 million pieces here, in addition to silk cloth and other various means of life, farm tools and other things.
It's so much that it's beyond the limits of what the Yanzhou Treasury can bear. The original Yanzhou Treasury had only five warehouses in total, and in order to prepare for this sale of wasteland, Wang Daguan personally made instructions.
In particular, two households adjacent to the government and the treasury of the two households that have moved away from the party and wealthy merchants have also been included in the scope of the treasury. Only then was the storeroom expanded to twelve.
But up to now, the most valuable pieces of gold and 780,000 pieces of silver were placed in the most heavily guarded treasury. The remaining more than 3,178,000 copper coins, as well as grain and silk cloth, as well as various farming tools, and a large number of materials, are pouring towards Yanzhou.
Don't let the merchants who are paying the money and supplies get the money and supplies back.
"Follow me!" Li Yi gritted his teeth and led his men to walk a short distance to the kitchen of one of the former party nobles. "I've cleared out all the stuff here, emptied all the stoves and stuff, and made it the thirteenth storehouse, and here, though the firewood rooms are a little shabby, but they're spacious enough, don't ...... Tentatively designated as Treasury No. 14......"
With Li Zhen's pointing, no matter what firewood room, kitchen, and even the exquisite mansion of those party ladies, all of them were ordered by Li Zhen to change their functions.
Although the shapes are a little peculiar, they can continue to load money. Just when Li Zhen's throat was about to smoke, Wang Daguan, the old driver, specially rushed through the inspection work.
"What's the matter, I heard that the treasury can't hold these revenues anymore?" Wang Yang greeted Li Ji, who was sweaty, his hat was crooked, and he was so busy that he was about to smoke, and looked at the nephew of the Empress Dowager Gao, who usually pays special attention to appearance, and asked.
"I've seen my lord, it should be about the same, and now after cleaning up the buildings that were preserved before, there is no problem with completely placing these copper coins and silk cloths."
"But farm tools and other daily necessities really can't be put down, unless they are stacked in the open air, and now, those livestock sheds are also full of all kinds of farm tools......," Li Yi said with a wry smile.
"What about the grain? How much grain can be stored in our grain depot in Yanzhou? Wang Yang smashed his mouth, this is simply a happy trouble.
"Grain, this is a big problem, Xia Guan went to check the grain depot in Yanzhou, and found that the grain depot here is almost full, but the grain in the grain is only less than 50,000 quintals, but the salt depot is quite large, and the salt storage in it is nearly 50,000 quintals."
"Then let's expand it, at least to ensure that it can store 500,000 quintals of grain." After Wang Yang thought about it, he instructed Li Zhen.
"If there is a shortage of people, you can discuss with Master Gao to see how to come, anyway, many of the people left here have nothing to do, let them go to work, earn some money and food, and save them from staying at home and thinking nonsense. After all, it's still a while before farming is busy. ”
