Chapter 343 The Wool Is Out of the Sheep
Wang Yue nodded and said, "That's right!" Actually, there are a lot of things that can be operated here. It's not just a matter of how much these hundreds of thousands of people can earn by working, but the military fields of those military households are now a lot of waste, and they can also turn waste into treasure. ”
Of course, Zhang Zhiji, as his father-in-law, knew about the bumper harvest of last year, so his own field has been completely entrusted to the starting point city this year. However, the starting point city is not for nothing, there is a cooperation agreement for this.
In the past few years, there has been drought and little rain in the world, and Chongzhen is still a year of great drought in the past ten years, and the situation is very grim, and there is a serious drought in many places. Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, North and South Zhili, and even many places in Shandong all have different degrees of drought.
Therefore, the fields cultivated in the starting point city must be drilled with wells at the edge of the fields, not only wells, but also farmland water conservancy.
This is the input of the starting point city, so the farmland cooperation agreement between the British government and the starting point city has a clause for the transfer of land property rights, that is, the property rights of the starting point city are 40%.
The British government sent several experienced stewards to the starting point city, conducted some research, and finally accepted the agreement.
There's no way, the situation is forcing it! The drought was too severe, and according to the method of starting point, the dry land was turned into fertile land, and with the input of improved seeds and chemical fertilizers, the British government still had nearly three times the harvest of previous years, so this agreement was decided.
The British government is the father-in-law's house, the conditions are relaxed, and other families have also come to talk, and the property rights demanded by the starting city are sixty percent, which scared people away.
Only the Dingguo Mansion took out 100,000 acres of land to test the water, no matter what, there is still double the harvest of previous years, isn't it?
The main reason is that the starting point city doesn't have so much energy to manage so much farmland, so Jiang Taigong fished, and the wisher took the bait.
Improved seeds and fertilizers are the big sticks waved out of the starting point city, and the pricing power is in the starting point city, which will neither let the purchaser suffer a loss, nor let the purchaser profit too much, because the starting point city is intended to be land.
Because chemical fertilizer has not yet been produced by itself, only scarcity is expensive, and Wang Yue is not able to benefit more people now.
There are tens of millions of acres of military land in various parts of Shuntianfu, of course, Wang Yue can't cooperate with them in farming, and the starting point city has limited energy, which is just a means to dilute Xunqin's field production.
It is a bit similar to the form of Lao Jiang's land reform in Wanwan.
He was more concerned about manpower, which required a lot of manpower to build an industry. Even if all those captives are converted, they will still need to absorb manpower.
A steel plant in Shijingshan needs tens of thousands of workers. Coal mines and iron ore are also labor-intensive industries. The construction of the railway is also about to start, and the construction of the railway also needs a large number of people.
The military households were absorbed as workers, and the land was bound to be idle, and these lands could be selectively contracted one by one.
Juntuntian cannot be sold privately, but it can be subleased, and there is no need to pay taxes, but the starting point city can pay taxes symbolically, of course, not to the household department, but so that the officers of the guard, the governor's mansion and the emperor's internal funds have income, why not.
Contract, wrap it up and wrap it up. However, this kind of thing can only be said through the British public, and it cannot be directly mentioned to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen is short of money, of course Zhang Zhiji knows that when he mentions silver, Chongzhen's eyes are red. If this kind of thing is tacitly approved by Chongzhen, it is completely feasible. Jingying, who originally needed to spend silver, can now earn silver for him, can Chongzhen not be happy?
Is Jingying dead in name? It's dead in name!
Zhang Zhiji asked, "Tell me, what kind of charter?" Let the National Counsellor take a closer look! ”
In fact, it is to continue to extend the cooperation with the former Beijing camp officers and establish an engineering management company.
The chairman of the board of directors is Chongzhen, the general manager is the British public, the shareholders are the other honorable relatives of the Chinese military governor's office, the commanders of the guards and the camp eunuchs of the Beijing camp are the branch managers, and the grassroots officers are the captains of large and small projects, or the foremen of the contractors.
Many infrastructure projects in the starting city can be cooperated with the Royal Engineering Management Company, and the large projects are contracted to the head office, which in turn subcontracts to the branch and engineering team. The engineering team and branches can also independently contract business with the starting point, but they need to pay a fixed amount of management fees to the management company every year.
The organizational structure of the engineering management company, the daily regulations and how to operate are customized by Wang Yue with modern content. Since these Ming natives have never been exposed to such things, they try to be as simple and clear as possible, and then add them slowly in the future.
Zhang Zhiji carefully looked at the several documents handed to him by Wang Yue, in addition to the articles of association of the engineering company, there were also the project catalogue and labor quotation that were about to be launched in the starting point city, and the detailed rules for contracting the military tuntian in the future.
What he cares most about is how much he can earn and how much the emperor can earn. The list provided by Wang Yue is clear and clear at a glance. Zhang Zhiji smiled when he saw it, this is indeed turning waste into treasure.
Shuntianfu's more than 10 million acres of military tun fields, if the starting point city is contracted, the annual tax is paid 5 percent.
The yield per mu of the starting point city is close to six times the average yield per mu of Daming, which is equivalent to the original output of four or five million mu. Originally, these fields were not taxed, and they had nothing to do with Chongzhen and Zhang Zhiji's silver taels, but now they have a relationship. Of course, the starting point city should be gradually absorbed, and the interests should be gradually reflected.
The labor output of the engineering management company is also rich in annual income, and the amount of work in the starting point city is not small, among which the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin highway and railway that is about to be launched can almost absorb all these manpower.
For these two projects alone, Chongzhen's annual income reached nearly 500,000 taels, Zhang Zhiji also had an income of nearly 200,000 taels, and the other Chinese military governors, the commanders of the guards, the eunuchs of the Beijing camp, and the foremen of the large and small packages all had incomes ranging from tens of thousands of taels to several thousand taels, which can be said to be beneficial to everyone.
Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and the wages paid by the workers in the starting point city are the same as the wages of the workers they employ, and the officials at all levels can benefit, so the actual income of the workers of the engineering management company is less than that of the workers in the starting point city by two to two and a half percent.
No way, who told you that you can't choose your job freely within the system. The gap and contrast between wages and wages will inevitably produce contradictions in the long run, and once the working class is awakened, it will inevitably lead to revolution.
In order to ensure the enthusiasm of these workers and prevent officers at all levels from habitually drinking the blood of soldiers, the management regulations have strict regulations, and at the same time, the Civil Affairs Office of the starting point city has been introduced to intervene in supervision. The starting point city has the money bag in its hands, and the Civil Affairs Department will cooperate with the management company's superior departments to deal with fines on the relevant responsible persons and units.
