Volume 4: Chapter 40 of the Emperor's Prosperity Chapter Money

Guan Sunqing's description of Ryukyu is a thousand times better than that of Sugar Island, but when he suddenly wants to leave his place of birth and move thousands of miles away, many people still have a big gap in their hearts, and what they hope most is to return to the mainland, rather than getting farther and farther away from the mainland.

It's just that whether he wants it or not, in the face of the prince's order, no one dares to object, Sun Qing just discussed the specific steps of the relocation with Yang and others, and announced the relocation to the whole island the next day.

There are more than 5,000 people in the whole Sugar Island, and there are all kinds of old and weak women and children, no different from a small society, but fortunately, Sugar Island relies on ships to transport raw materials and finished products, and the ships on the island are more than enough, and it has always had a good relationship with the navy, so it can be relocated at one time.

It took half a month, the things on the island were basically relocated, Sun Qing ordered a fire to set the houses on the island on fire, and waited until the fire broke out, and finally the person who set the fire also got on the boat, Sun Qing gave an order, carrying more than 5,000 people and all kinds of furniture, food, and livestock, the fleet opened its sails and set sail slowly.

Seeing the place where they have lived for more than ten years burned, many people have mixed feelings in their hearts, the vast majority of the residents on Sugar Island are ordinary people, there may be a few people who regard Sugar Island as a cage, but more people are a grateful heart, in Sugar Island, in addition to not being able to go out of the island, life is rich, work is easy, it is simply a heavenly life, many of them even in their hometown, if it is not because they can't live, even the county will not come out, this island is good to stay dozens of square kilometers, what is it if you can't get out of the island?

Now they're finally leaving. When I heard that I was going to live on an island more than a thousand times larger than this one, some people were excited, and some people were worried, and as the fleet moved, there were more and more people who were afraid and confused, and if it weren't for the awe of the sea, many people would have whimpered.

Sun Qing, Yang Miao and the others stood at the bow of the boat together, looking at the fire burning on the island, and they were also embarrassed in their hearts. Yang was even more disappointed in his heart, thinking that most of the students who followed the prince together at the beginning were already parents of one party, and Yang Shi became the prince's right-hand man, but he had been nesting on this island for more than ten years, and now he didn't even have this island. However, when they arrive in Taiwan, they will naturally find something else.

It's almost December, and the weather has become very cold because of the snow that has fallen in the capital. The burning charcoal in the Mingde Hall of the East Palace made a crackling sound, making the entire hall warm as spring.

Yang Yong sat in a chair and listened to Yun Dingxing's report on what the College of Agriculture had done this year. With the support of the prince, sufficient funds, and various advanced technologies, after years of development, the College of Agriculture has become a behemoth.

The various technologies promoted by the agricultural college to the farmers are free of charge, and they have to lose a lot of manpower and material resources, but the factories affiliated with the agricultural college make a lot of money. The first, of course, is a textile factory, the second is a tea field, and the third is a craftsman's factory.

"Your Highness, this year the weaving factory in Beijing employs 9,000 workers, weaving all kinds of cloth, silk is more than 1.5 million horses, excluding various expenses, the total profit is 530,000 yuan, and the Jiangnan weaving factory employs 13,000 workers. A total of more than 2.2 million pieces of cloth of various types were weaved, with a total profit of 1.62 million yuan. Luoyang weaving factory has just been established this year. Although 200,000 pieces of silk cloth have been produced, however. Offset with the input, the deficit of 1.1 million guan, the three major weaving mills weave a total of 3.9 million horses, in addition to the construction cost of the newly established Luoyang weaving mill this year, this year's profit is still 1.05 million guan, to next year, it is expected that the output of Luoyang weaving mills can increase to 1 million horses, when the profit of the three major weaving mills can reach more than 3 million guan a year. Speaking of this, Yun Dingxing couldn't help but lick the saliva in his mouth and became excited.

Yang Yong shook his head: "No, next year, the weaving volume of the weaving mill in the capital will be reduced to more than half, and the weavers will be transferred to the Luoyang weaving factory as much as possible." ”

"Your Highness, Weichen doesn't understand, if the weaving factory in the capital is to be reduced by half, wouldn't it be for other families to surpass." Yun Dingxing asked blankly.

"What about exceeding? Is there anyone who can produce more than the output of the three major weaving mills of the Agricultural College? Yang Yong asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, next year, the output of the three major weaving factories is expected to reach five million horses, and the highest output in the capital, the Li family weaving factory, is only one million horses." Yun Dingxing said proudly.

"Yes, the Li family has one million horses, plus the Yuan family, the Wang family, the Changsun family, the Gao family, the Wei family, and the Zhao family...... The combined output of each family is as high as more than 4 million horses, and if you add the weaving factory in the capital of the Agricultural College, the total output of the capital alone is more than 5 million horses, how many people are in the capital, and how much cloth can be consumed? ”

At this time, a horse is four zhang, forty feet, a new cloth with no more than a few feet (Sui one foot is 29.6CM), a piece of cloth can make more than ten new clothes, even if each person in the capital consumes more than one million horses a year with a piece of cloth, it

More than 10,000 pieces of cloth need to be shipped out.

It's just that Yun Dingxing still doesn't understand what Yang Yong means, the population of Dasui has reached more than 60 million, with the advent of the peaceful and prosperous era, even the poorest people can make several new clothes a year, and the demand for cloth in the country every year is incredible, plus at least millions of silk, cotton, and linen are sold overseas every year, these years, although the price of cloth is decreasing every year, there has never been a time when cloth cannot be sold.

The prince suddenly wanted to reduce the weaving factory in the capital, and if he reduced one piece of cloth, he would lose the profit of one piece of cloth, although the agricultural college made a lot of money, but the expenses were also large, and no one would be disgusted with the money.

As soon as Yun Dingxing raised this question, Yang Yong suddenly laughed: "You are the dean of the College of Agriculture, the Beijing Weaving Factory has to weave three pieces of cloth to have a consistent profit, and the profit of the Jiangnan Weaving Factory has more than two pieces of cloth, why?" Of course, because of the freight, in the future, the Luoyang weaving factory will be fully operational, and the profit per piece of cloth will be at least not less than the Jiangnan weaving factory, why not reduce the output of the Beijing weaving factory? ”

Only then did Yun Dingxing know Yang Yongdi's plan, and said convincingly: "Your Highness is smart." ”

"What is this?" Yang Yong disagreed, now the larger weaving factories are concentrated in the capital, others may not see the benefits of running a weaving factory in Jiangnan or Luoyang, but there is no convenience for agricultural colleges, and the court will not allow it easily, so they can only sigh.

However, think about the next year, the cloth output of the three major weaving factories of the agricultural college alone will reach 5 million horses, plus the output of other families, relying on the production of all kinds of cloth produced by the weaving factories may reach more than 10 million horses, not only the army, the clothes worn by officials are all from the cloth of the weaving mills, that is, more than half of the cloth worn by ordinary people is produced by the weaving factories, the small peasant economy of the former male ploughing and female weaving has been broken, according to the current rate of development, at most another 20 years, that is, all the clothes worn by the people will come from the weaving mills, and the cloth of the weaving factories will also be saturated.

However, there is no need to consider this matter for the time being, twenty years later, I will only be fifty years old, and it is when I am in the prime of life and have gathered power, and I am afraid that I will have already found a way to solve it.

Yang Yong turned to another question: "How is the tea farm doing?" ”

"Back to the prince, in the south, the Agricultural College has split 31 tea estates, the most famous of which are Longjing, Biluochun, Lushan Yunwu Tea, Qimen Black Tea four kinds, each can provide hundreds to 1,000 quintals of tea every year, one of which can make a profit of more than 100 quintals, Longjing tea production is the lowest, last year it did not produce 100 quintals, the profit reached 30,000 quintals, the total output of four famous teas is 2,200 quintals, the profit is 250,000 quintals, and the rest of the ordinary tea output is 130,000 quintals, and the profit is 530,000 quintals, and the total profit of tea is 780,000 quintals."

Yang Yong nodded: "Well, continue." ”

Yun Dingxing paused: "There is also a craftsman factory, last year there were forty-one craftsman factories under the Agricultural College, and the profit of each craftsman factory was about thousands to 10,000 guan, and the total profit was also 310,000 guan. ”

"Well, the profit of the weaving factory is one hundred and fifty thousand, the tea field is seven hundred and fifty thousand, and the craftsman factory is three hundred and fifty thousand, if the palace is not mistaken, this year's income is two million and fourteen thousand, so let's talk about the expenditure."

"Your Royal Highness, the profit of the Agricultural College is 2.14 million yuan, and now the Agricultural College is a branch in each county, and many counties have also built a point, with a total of 215 branches, more than 500 points, in addition to the various factories, the number of agricultural colleges has a total of more than 25,000 yuan, in addition to the annual allocation of 100,000 yuan from the household department, the rest must be subsidized by the East Palace, and this year a total of more than 1.2 million yuan will be spent, and now the agricultural college has saved 930,000 yuan."

Yang Yong's brows jumped when he heard this: "It's only 930,000." ”

More than 900,000 guan, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, the money swallowed by the dark guards in a year will cost 7800,000 guan, and once this goes, there is not much left.

Yun Dingxing hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is mainly to build the Luoyang Weaving Factory, otherwise it can be at least one million more, and next year, with less than this million Guan expenditure, the Luoyang Weaving Factory will have more than one million Guan profits." ”

"Okay, this palace understands, you propose 600,000 guan to Lu Mulin, and leave the rest 150,000 guan to the crown princess, and the remaining 180,000 guan will not move for the time being."

"600,000?" Yun Dingxing was a little surprised, but immediately said, "Yes, Weichen knows." ”

At the end of each year, Yun Dingxing has to take out a sum of money and hand it to Lu Mulin, and in the end the money is gone, but the highest in previous years was only 500,000 yuan, Yun Dingxing was surprised that this year because of the construction of the Luoyang weaving factory, which caused a shortage of money, but he had to add 100,000 yuan to Lu Mulin, but the use of this money was obviously the prince's secret, Yun Dingxing naturally did not dare to ask more.

Of course, he didn't know that the extra 100,000 yuan this year was because of the relocation of a sugar island thousands of miles away, and now Yang Yong has completely given up the profits of sugar.
