In December of the fourth year of Jingyao (261), Jiangyang County, Zigongting, it was another year of the year-end summary meeting of the Fuxing Society.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to sum up, the turnover generated by the property of our Fuxing Society in Fuling County last year was 413 million, and after deducting various expenses, the profit reached 120 million. This is the first time that the profit of Fuling County's industry in Fuxing Society has reached 100 million! ”

"Congratulations! Change, set the spirit, and the national prestige...... Great work! ”

"Rejoice and rejoice." Ma Guo arched his hand with a smile and continued: "As of November this year, the registered population of Fuling County has reached more than 60,200. In the past, Tai Shou kept the ten-year covenant with His Majesty before taking office, but now it has only taken five years and it has been completed! ”

"I'm waiting to congratulate Taishou (brother)!"

"Hehehe, how dare you live alone, it's all thanks to everyone. Well, please continue. ”

"No, everyone. By the time the autumn tax was collected in September this year, the number of registered grain fields in Fuling County had reached 567,000 mu. Compared with Yanxi's 20 years, it has increased more than four times. After conversion, the total amount of grain received by Fuling County this year is 880,000 stones. For the first time since Yanxi twenty years ago, Fuling County did not buy a grain from outside! ”

"Good!" "Good!" "Great goodness!"

Ma Guo said that the grain conversion is the rule set by Guan Yiding. According to the nutrients and calories that each type of food can provide to humans, the traverser is prescribed as follows: 1 for hulled milled rice (rice), 0.9 for wheat, 0.5 for potato flour, 0.2 for fern root flour, and 5 for pork. In fact, due to the large output of pork and the sufficient supply of salt, the consumption of grain by the people of Fuling County has decreased significantly. And it should be noted that the 800,000 stone grain was levied by the Fuling County Government, and the bulk is still in the hands of the people. It can be said that now the livelihood of the entire Fuling County has completely gotten rid of the tragic status of the top three counties in Shuhan in the past, but ranks first among the twenty-two counties in Shuhan in a dignified manner.

Amid the enthusiastic applause of the crowd, Ma Guo sat down proudly. Immediately after Ma Guo spoke, it was Chen Shou, the county governor of Jiangyang County.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as of November this year, 230 salt wells have been drilled in the Zigongting Salt Works under the control of my Fuxing Salt Industry, of which 185 have produced brine. There are one hundred and twenty-one associated natural gases. From January to November of the fourth year of Jingyao, the salt field of Zigongting accumulated salt...... Well...... What was reported to the Lieutenant's Mansion was 300,000 stones. Chen Shou lowered his voice slightly when he said this: "The actual output is 800,000 stones!" ”

Everyone in the Fuxing Society smiled when they heard this, and everyone did not praise and praise the goodness, but extended their thumbs to Zhang Zun and Chen Shou.

"Chengzuo, we have concealed more than sixty percent of the output, is the supervisor sent by the Captain of Siyan School stupid? Can't see it? ”

"Hehehe, Ling Bo doesn't need to worry. Shou is afraid that they will be stupid. If only I wasn't stupid. ”

As soon as Chen Shou said this, Li Mi couldn't help but laugh. Yes, if this overseer is a smart man, then he will accept the bribe from the revival of the salt industry and pretend to be blind. If you are really stupid and have to act impartially, you can't say it, the Fuxing Society can only find a way to get you to die in the line of duty.

There is no way, who asked the Lieutenant Mansion of Si Yan to set the purchase price so low and the selling price so high? With such a huge profit, the common people do not get any benefit. In that case, it's better for me to fill my own pockets and ask for it - at least the money I save can be used to get down to business.

"Regardless of official salt or private salt, our ex-factory price is 200 yuan. So this year's revival of the salt industry has a total of 160 million! ”

"Hiss~~~"

In the sound of everyone's inhalation, Guan Yi couldn't help but shake his head gently: The people of this era are still poor. There are so many light industrial products in Fuling County that are beyond this era, but Jiangyang County has only been working for a year, and its turnover is close to two-fifths of Fuling County's industrial flow - for the poor, everything else can be saved, but grain and salt cannot be saved!

"According to the above ratio of official salt and private salt, what we handed over to His Majesty and the Zhongchang Servant is 48 million, and we also have to fight the silverfish of the Captain's Mansion up and down, and this piece is spent 12 million ......."

"Brute!" "These silverfish are so ruthless!" "Bastard!" "Humph! Before, I thought that the output of concealment was too much, and I was a little ashamed of the imperial court, but after listening to Cheng Zuo, I think I can increase the proportion of concealment to ninety! ”

In addition, the number of local salt workers has skyrocketed to 13,500 as of November this year. The wages of these men are three hundred dollars a month. So this year's labor expenditure is 48 million. In addition, there are miscellaneous items such as equipment maintenance and payment to Nanzhong for the purchase of personnel, and the cost expenditure is more than 70 million. To sum up, the profit of Fuxing Salt Industry this year is 30 million! ”

Without waiting for everyone's praise, Chen Shou continued: "Since the second year of Jingyao, Jiangyang County has vigorously absorbed all kinds of displaced people and aliens to open up grain fields in Han'an County. As of the autumn harvest this year, the grain fields in Han'an County have also reached 300,000 mu. According to the conversion method of Fuling County, there are more than 400,000 stones. However, Jiangyang County did not pay money without grain like Fuling County, so this part could not be included in the income of the Fuxing Society. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Lingxing, Chengzuo, you have also done a good job. ”

"Don't dare, if it weren't for Guan Taishou to demarcate the area and provide Zhuo Tsujing's method, I would only be at a loss in this small county with only three counties."

"Hehehe, Cheng Zuo is too humble. Well, Brother Bo Yao, what about you? ”

"Well, thanks to you, because of the revival of the salt industry, the salt goods here are sufficient. This year, the turnover of Mijia business exceeded one billion for the first time. The profit reached 170 million. According to the share exchange agreement, Mijia firm will allocate 50 million to Fuxing Society. ”

"Well, in this way, the profit of the Fuxing Society this year is a total of 200 million!"

"I'm waiting to congratulate Taishou (brother)!"

"Good, then let's share the dividends." Guan Yi is also very satisfied with this year's harvest: after so many years of accumulation, it is finally time to get rid of financial constraints. It also fills him with a sense of accomplishment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year is the third time that my Reconstruction Society has paid dividends. According to Yi's meaning, half of the 200 million profits will be used to distribute dividends to everyone. The remainder is set aside as a fund to meet unforeseen needs. Do you have any objections? ”

"We have no objections."

"Hmm." After a slight pause, seeing that everyone had no opinions, Guan Yi nodded: "Everyone, it is now the end of Jingyao's fourth year. In two days, it will be the fifth year of Jingyao. At this time, a year and a half have passed since Sima Zhao of the puppet Wei killed the king. This Sima Zhao killed the king, of course, he himself suffered a lot. But from another aspect, the last resistance of the puppet Wei clan has also been eliminated, and the replacement of the puppet Wei by the Sima family is an irreversible trend. Second, it also forced the Sima family to have enough military merits to be crowned the king, so as to prepare for usurpation. And a year and a half is a long time, which is enough for the Sima family to appease the dissatisfied pseudo-Wei family and military forces. Therefore, there will be a year and a half at most, and the attack of the puppet Wei will inevitably come! ”

Seeing that everyone below nodded slightly, Guan Yi amplified his voice a little: "Over the years, the industry of my Fuxing Society has become bigger and bigger, and your dividends have become more and more. But Guan Yi is here to remind you that if you don't have too much money, you will forget the original intention of the establishment of our Fuxing Society. Our Fuxing Society was established for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and all kinds of things we have done over the years, whether it is visible or not, everything is for the revival of the Han! And to revive the Great Han, the first thing we have to do is to protect the Great Han in the war of destruction that the Pseudo-Wei is about to launch! I hope you will always keep this in mind! ”

"Taishou (brother)'s words, I dare not forget half a point!"

"Good, so guys. Yi means that after this year's dividends, there will be no dividends for the next three years. If the puppet Wei comes over within three years, of course we must fight as hard as we can, even at the cost of destroying our homes and defending the country. If the puppet Wei hadn't come over within three years, hehe, at that time, the wealth of my Fuxing Society would only be no less than one billion and the grain would not be less than one million stones...... At that time, Ben Hou will lead you to fight! ”

"Good! When the time comes, my brother will lead the Northern Expedition, please use me Zhang Zun as the vanguard! ”

"I, Zhao Yi, will never be left behind!"

"We are all willing to follow Taishou (brother) on the Northern Expedition!"

"Good. Guan Yi would like to thank you for your understanding and support. Next, let's talk about the private soldiers of the Renaissance Society......"
