Chapter 57: A Brilliant Year (2)

"Next up is dividends. To sum up, the profit of our revival society this year is more than 38 million. How this dividend should be distributed, all shareholders should talk about it. Well, Boyu, you're the latest shareholder to join, you say it first. ”

Chen Can, who had just accepted a total of half a share from Guan Yi and Mi Zhao, got up and arched his hand to everyone: "Taishou, colleagues." Today's meeting, there are only two words: shock! Who would have thought that in this remote county of the Han Dynasty, the elders and brothers have made such a great cause. Can, deeply admired. ”

After bowing deeply, Chen Can continued: "As for dividends, hehe, thanks to Brother Taishou and Brother Bo Yao, they will not give up and admit me to join the Fuxing Society." Bright is already deeply honored. Therefore, this year's dividends, you don't want to do it, all of them will be invested in the market, and you will be the start-up capital for next year. Can's deep belief that under the leadership of Taishou, our Fuxing Society will grow stronger and stronger year by year! Three or five years later, today's dividend is a joke! ”

"Boyu said it well! Brother, my Zhang family is loved by the first emperor and His Majesty, and there are more fields in the CD, but if it is really divided according to this year's dividends, what I Zhang Zun got is almost the same as my family's annual turnover. What am I doing with all this money? In this Fuling, you can eat and dress, and you have no place to spend money. I still have the same meaning as Boyu, I won't pay dividends this year, and I'll invest all of them in the market! ”

"The meaning of Boyu and Lingxing is also the meaning of secret. Taishou, colleagues, Li Mi's family was poor when he was young, and he has never seen so much money in his life. This money suddenly increased, and I really didn't know how to spend it. And colleagues, Taishou led us to create this Fuxing Society, not to make money, but to use it as a cornerstone to revive the Han Dynasty! This year, we just fought a small battle in Hanfu County, and we spent tens of millions of dollars, what if we had a protracted war with the puppet Wei in the future? How much does that cost? Therefore, the secret means that this year's dividends are naturally not wanted, and the dividends in the next three to five years are not needed. All continue to invest in the Fuxing Society, and may Taishou continue to lead us and accumulate strength for the revival of the Great Han! ”

"We will second, may Taishou lead us, accumulate strength, and revive the Han!"

"Guan Yi can work with you, three lives are fortunate!" Guan Yi got up, bowed to everyone and said solemnly: "If a person has no ideals, he is no different from the walking dead." Although our Han Dynasty is now located in a corner of Yizhou, the whole country is still more vibrant than the puppet Wei and Eastern Wu, because we can still adhere to the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty. But! However, if people only talk about ideals and ignore such mundane things as money, their ideals will not last. Therefore, this dividend still has to be shared. ”

After pressing his hands lightly and suppressing everyone's speeches, Guan Yi continued: "Of the more than 30 million dividends, at least 20 million are grain, which will not be moved for the time being, as a reserve for officials at all levels in the county and employees of the Fuxing Society next year. Of the remaining 18 million, 10 million will be dividends, and the remaining 8 million will be posthumously paid year-end bonuses to the employees of the Fuxing Society. What do you think? ”

"Good! Brother Takami! ”

"Good! I'll second! ”

"Okay, everyone, I'll talk about the affairs of the Fuxing Society today, and now I'll start talking about county affairs. Change. ”

"Oh, Taishou, colleagues, at the beginning of the twentieth year of Yanxi, when Taishou and you took office, the household registration on the county's civil register was 4,805 households, 20,825 people. The county has 135,650 acres of registered cultivated land. As of November of the first year of Jingyao, the household registration on the county's civil register was 6,351 households, with 31,73 households! 150,000 and 21 acres of cultivated land on the register! In the past two years, the number of Fuling County has increased by 50%! Cultivated land increased by one and a half! ”

In the Wuling Mountains of Fuling County, before Guan Yi took out potatoes and promoted them on a large scale, the growth rate of cultivated land was also like this. In fact, Guan Yi knows very well in his heart that from next year, the growth rate of cultivated land in the county will be half a year old.

However, the current industry in Fuling County is not based on farming. After nearly two years of efforts by Guan Yi, Fuling County has formed a primary light industry system with pig production as the core and a variety of handicraft production derived from it. In such a system, as long as grain can be bought from the outside, the amount of arable land is not something Guan Yi cares about.

What Guan Yi cares about is the population!

In the past two years, the population of Fuling County has increased by more than 50%, mainly due to the internal annexation of the Bizka tribe and the subjugation of the Menzihei tribe in addition to natural growth. But this growth rate is still too slow compared to what Guan Yi will do in the future!

In order to save Shu Han from the disaster of the country in the future, Guan Yi, or the Fuxing Society, must have at least 20,000 private soldiers! If you want to raise soldiers, you can earn money and buy food, but the population base is there, and you can't make all the people soldiers, right?

Moreover, they still have the Shu Han court on their heads, and if they really want to farm and raise troops in this place, I am afraid that they will not be able to wait for Cao Wei to destroy Shu Han, and the central government of Shu Han will destroy them first.

"Well, this year, Fuling County's household registration and cultivated land have increased greatly, and Guan Yi has thanked you here."

"We are also fortunate to follow Taishou."

"Next, I'd like to talk about the defense of the county, Uncle Yong."

"No, Taishou, colleagues. Before the Han Restoration War in September this year, I had a total of 500 guards from trading companies and 150 county soldiers in Fuling County. After the first battle of Han Fu was defeated, one hundred and fifty county soldiers were not damaged. However, 243 of the 500 guards were killed in battle, and 85 were seriously wounded and could not re-enlist. As a result, there are now less than 200 guards in the trading house. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we can be regarded as a big family, not to mention anything else, there are nearly 2,000 Mengzihei captives who have just been accepted as coolies. If we don't expand the guards of our trading company, maybe one day those Menzi blacks will rise up and rebel! ”

In fact, what Guan Yi said was not true: after Meng Zihei's captives came to Fuling, Guan Yi and them only used three tricks: first pick out the leaders and let the slaves at the bottom be killed, and then give the rest a meal of pork bibimbap. And promised to send people to bring these people's families - and then this group of Mengzihei will be more Han than Han.

However, who of these people here would think that they have few soldiers in their hands?

"My brother is right, this trading company must be expanded as soon as possible."

"Guowei's words are reasonable, and we will second."

"Well, Uncle Yong, Ling Xing, you make a budget. In the first half of next year, we will expand the number of trading company guards to 1,000. The source of this army is to consider the Han people of this county first, then Bizka, who went down the mountain last year, and finally Menzihei, who has just been subdued. ”

"No! Please rest assured. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the instructions of the imperial court, I, Fuling County, will be responsible for the daily expenses of the Yong'an Corps together with Badong County from next year. Therefore, after the Chinese New Year next year, the official will first go to Padang County to meet with General You and agree on the amount of money and grain that my Fuling County will hand over next year. Then go back to the CD to debrief. During the period when the official was not in Fuling County, the county affairs were mainly based on Chengzuo, and the military affairs were mainly based on Yongbo. I also ask you to continue to do your duty. ”

"We will obey the orders of the Taizun!"

……

It was late at night, and the backyard of the Taishou Mansion was still lit.

Qian Qiang has been back to CD for several months, and Guan Taishou is now a bachelor. Therefore, he directly called Guan Suo and Ma Guo to his room.

"Third uncle, my nephew wants to invite you to Nanzhong."

"Huh? Are you looking for someone to buy from the Meng family? ”

"Yes, the population base of Fuling County is too small, if we don't buy people from outside, after three or five years, we definitely don't have enough strength to resist the puppet Wei's war of annihilation."

"Good, now the big chief of Nanzhong is Meng Yan, and I have a good relationship with him. The price is negotiable. However, the population controlled by the Meng family is probably only about 10,000 people, and it is impossible for him to sell a lot of them to us. ”

"If the population is not enough, go and rob it! Further south in Nanzhong, there are weak chickens such as Fuyu and Zhenla. Five thousand dollars or fifty stone of grain for one person, I will buy as much as he has! ”

"We are not short of money and food, as long as the Fuxing Society is as prosperous as this year, we will have at least hundreds of millions of turnover next year. But there are so many people, where do you put them? As you said, the potato thing can't be promoted for the time being. There are so many plots of land that can be used to grow rice and wheat in this Fuling County, and it can't be expanded. ”

"When I go back to the CD this time, I will go to ask Zhang Lingxing for credit, and then ask his father and queen to make efforts to arrange for him to go to Brazil County. It was originally the place where their ancestors had been guarding for a long time. There are many people in Pasir County, and although the mountain is steep, it can at least be terraced. ”

"That's a good idea, but then I probably won't be able to come back for two or three years. The matter of this soybean flour factory ......"

"It's okay, I'll transfer the national prestige back to guard. By the way, let him train with Yongbo. ”

"Good!"

"Change."

"Taishou, please command."

"After the beginning of spring next year, you will go to Xiling to find a Bujia to buy people and equipment. But you have to pay attention to one thing, what the third uncle bought is the population base, men, women and children, as long as they can farm and work, they can buy it. What you want to buy, it's a warrior! It's better to be a trouble-free army! ”
