Chapter 718

One acre and five runs may not seem like much, but the wasteland that can grow cotton in Yanzhou has reached more than 1,378,000 mu, and its number of mu is almost no less than the number of its good mu.

Don't forget that Yanzhou is mountainous, there are many salt ponds, and there are large pastures suitable for grazing in the eastern part of Yanzhou, so there is still such a vast area to grow cotton. It is conceivable that Youzhou, which is in the Gobi Desert in the north, and Hongzhou, which has fertile water and grass, will not be less than this number.

When everyone received the number plate, the door of the government office slowly opened, and then, more than a dozen capable officials each took out a wooden box, and then lined up outside the gate of the government office.

Then another servant set up a table next to each wooden box, prepared pen and ink, and the clerks made their preparations.

Those who have received the number plates need to hand over the number plates in their hands to these officials, and then hand over their identification documents to the officials to copy and then pay a deposit of one percent.

That is to say, 20,000 mu, that is 100,000 guan, even if it is only a 1% deposit, it is a huge amount of 1,000 guan.

And a minimum of 1,000 acres of land requires a deposit of 50 percent.

The so-called deposit, of course, is paid after it is paid, even if the buyer is not satisfied with the plot that is about to be drawn by lottery, it will not be returned.

Of course, the government at least assured them that these wastelands could definitely grow cotton, but the distance from the water source would not exceed twenty miles at most.

However, in order to prevent those guys from picking up good land and making the rest of the people complain, Wang Yang thought of such a way to draw lots.

After everyone paid the deposit first, they went to draw lots, and then took the number they had caught, and then happily entered the government under the guidance of the servants, where he would know what kind of land he had obtained.

Once they had reached the inner room and determined the location of their land, they were introduced to the next process.

"What do you mean, sir...... You don't need money? After hearing the request of the official in front of him, the businessman's expression instantly became a little confused.

"It's not that you don't need money, but you don't need so much cash, tell me, what kind of business are you doing?"

"A small business is a small business."

“…… Without nonsense, what I'm asking is, what kind of business do you do, whether it's cloth, or salt, or grain, or whatever......"

"Oh, my lord, you are asking this, the small one is mainly engaged in cloth in Jingzhao Mansion, and is also engaged in the sale of some farm tools, all of which are small businesses, and small businesses are ......."

“…… Again, I warn you, don't talk nonsense, now I give you a choice, since you are engaged in the business of farm tools and cloth, then, the rest of the part you have not paid can be offset in kind. ”

"Offset?"

"That is to say, for example, a silk cloth you sold in Jingzhao Mansion is two times, then, as long as you get here, you can get two times, and the hoe you sold in Jingzhao Mansion is three hundred yuan, and if you get it here, it is also three hundred yuan, do you understand what I mean?"

"You, you mean to let the little one take something to pay for?" The merchant's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a special retail price, a retail price, even if it is transported here a little farther, there is still something to be earned.

Earn less, so what? It's better than throwing real money at the other side.

"This, can you raise the price a little more, after all, Jingzhao Mansion is thousands of miles away from here, and this freight is ......" But the greedy nature of the merchant instantly began to flare up again, and his greedy gaze and expression were well hidden.

At this time, before the official could speak, a voice sounded from behind him. "If you don't agree, the previous deal will be voided, the door will be there, and you can go out."

"You! You, who are you? ......" The businessman who had won 20,000 acres of land turned around, and after seeing Wang Yang's appearance and the robe on his body, his neck suddenly shrunk and asked with some hesitation.

"This is our Wang Jingluo, didn't you hear his words?" Ling with an angry face came out and said viciously.

"My lord, please forgive the villain's clumsiness, and please don't blame the adult, since that's the case, then let's do it, the villain is just joking, it's really just a joke......"

"This kind of joke, please don't make it all, understand?" Wang Yang's gaze coldly swept over the businessmen who were sitting there bargaining with the officials.

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to talk crookedly. Compared with other places, the people of Jingzhao Mansion are the closest to Shaanxi Road, and he Wang Yang and Wang Wushan have long been famous fierce gods.

Hearing this and such a threat, everyone immediately became impotent, where is there still the slightest idea of wanting to continue to take advantage, but the head is like a chicken pecking rice. I'm afraid that this lord will be unhappy, can these powerless businessmen be more powerful than those ministers in the court?

Don't forget, almost all the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty offended this goods, and then came to Shaanxi Road, not only did they not have the slightest meaning of derogation, but the officials became bigger and bigger, and the age of the weak crown became the founding county prince of Jiuyuan County, and the three states were slightly pacified.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been only this one.

#####

In less than two days, all the 1,378,327 mu of cotton fields in Yanzhou had been sold, and the total value of money and materials was 6,891,635 yuan......

This number frightened everyone, you know, this is a poor area, and it is also a special border place in northern Cyprus.

The land in this place was originally not very sought after, but under Wang Yang's propaganda and the appearance of Yuanyou's ginning machine, those businessmen with a keen sense of smell were like a swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes, buzzing towards this side.

In addition, this is just the wealth obtained from the sale of land, not to mention, Wang Yang asked those soldiers who were unwilling to be soldiers to build a ginning machine equipment that would be sold in the Yanzhou ginning machinery facility workshop.

The asking price of a machine is not high, the manpower ginning machine is only two times, the hydraulic ginning machine is only twenty dollars, and the maintenance fee is not high, at most fifty dollars at a time, the hydraulic ginning machine is one hundred dollars at a time, and the most expensive parts will not exceed one hundred and fifty dollars.

But you have to take into account that more than 1,378,000 acres of cotton fields, according to ten acres of a manpower ginning machine, 100 acres of a hydraulic ginning machine, that is also a very considerable amount, this is not counting the cotton fields in the next two states, in addition, the ginning machine is mainly based on wooden structure, so a machine, at most, can be used for two to three years.

Among them, someone also needs to maintain, repair, identify and replace various wearing parts, which is also a lot of income.
