Chapter 563: The Way of Doing Business in Changyang County
When Qin Feng said this, Ma Xiangnan looked aggrieved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General, how could I not have thought of a way! Farming is the foundation, and if you do it well, you can at least mix a round belly, and you don't have to go hungry, but if you want the people to have a few extra money in their pockets, you have to think of another idea. ”
Qin Feng nodded, "Then what methods have you come up with now?" ”
Seeing that Qin Feng asked this, Ma Xiangnan sat up a little straighter, and his face became solemn: "General, in fact, there are still a lot of good things in Changyang County. For example, Shangqinglin, Xiaqinglin these places, are rich in apples, the apples in this place are very different from the apples I ate in Dachu back then, not only the fruit is big, but also sweeter and crisper, I checked carefully, it turns out that the apples here, according to legend, are many years ago, during the Tang Empire, the seeds brought back from overseas by the fleet of voyages are completely different from the varieties in the south. Another example is the dates in Zhuxian County, which is a must in Changyang. If it can be planted on a large scale, it will inevitably produce great economic benefits. ”
"It's a good way to go." Qin Feng said with a smile. "Changyang County now has a small number of people, and there is a serious loss of young and strong labor, if this kind of fruit tree can be planted on a large scale, a lot of labor can be saved, even the elderly and women can take care of it, after all, it is not as time-consuming and laborious as farming."
"General, this year, I have actually started planting on a large scale in these two places during the off-season, and in two to three years, I will be able to make a profit, but I am worried about another thing now." Ma Xiangnan looked worried.
"What's the matter?"
"General, Changyang County is mainly mountainous, with countless mountains and mountains in the territory, and the environment is relatively harsh, not only are there only a handful of important roads connecting the outside, but the conditions are extremely poor, and the territory is even worse. In many places, there is not even a decent road, and once it encounters rain and snow, many places are almost cut off from the outside world. My concern is, in two or three years, when the harvest begins, how am I going to ship these trees out and sell them? If there is a bumper harvest by then, we can only watch him rot in the ground, and I am afraid that the blow to our Changyang people will be even greater. Ma Xiangnan stared at Qin Feng with wide eyes.
Qin Feng also stared at him with wide eyes, and after a while, he laughed out loud: "I understand, my Ma Junshou, dare you wait for me here?" Say, how much money do you want? ”
Ma Xiangnan did not show the slightest embarrassment on his face, and Tai calmly stretched out a finger: "General, you have conquered the capital of Yuejing, and the bag is more definite, I don't want more, just one million taels, I want to build the main road connecting the inside and outside of Changyang County." ”
"A million taels?" Qin Feng gasped: "I dare to speak, don't you know that the treasury of the Yue Kingdom is basically an empty shelf?" ”
Ma Xiangnan smiled slyly: "The general can't coax me, the treasury is indeed an empty shelf, but the inner treasury is very full, at least I know that you have allocated at least this amount from the inner treasury to the treasury." ”
He held out two more fingers.
Qin Feng sighed: "You are well-informed. There is this number, but you also know, I can't just think about you Changyang County, that county has problems, all have difficulties, all like you open your mouth, in the blink of an eye, the treasury is empty again, so does the imperial court still want to operate? What if something urgent happens? ”
Hearing Qin Feng's refusal, Ma Xiangnan suddenly became anxious: "General, the situation in our Changyang County is different from other places, he is the county that has been most affected by the war, and it is also a county that has made great sacrifices for the general's great cause, and now he is being properly taken care of, that is what he should do, and no one can say anything." ”
Looking at Ma Xiangnan's red face, Qin Feng was very happy, he really entered the role of Changyang County like this! Although he still remembered the fact that he was from Chu from time to time, he was sincere when he started to do things, and such a person made Qin Feng more and more interested in bringing him under his command.
"Have you budgeted for this?" He asked slowly.
When Ma Xiangnan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Of course, of course, in fact, I went to find Su Kairong first, but as soon as he heard me say one million taels, he immediately escaped without a trace through urine, and let me wait in his yamen for a morning without a trace, but I was angry." ”
took out a thick stack of copywriting from his arms, stood up, and put it in front of Qin Feng. "It is said that it is one million taels, but in fact it is just a total number, and it is not necessary to use such money at the beginning, and one million taels is the estimated total cost of the project. General, I have already written this very clearly. ”
Su Kairong was so frightened by this number that he ran away, which was in line with this person's temperament. Su Kairong is an important minister of the former dynasty and a scholar of the household department for decades, of course he knows that it is difficult to be a housekeeper of a country. His position is very important, but it is also the easiest to offend people, his identity is special, he is cautious, Ma Xiangnan he must think that he can't afford to provoke, dare not offend, but dare not agree to Ma Xiangnan's request, then he can only run!
But speaking of which, this person is indeed a material of the Ganhu Department.
opened the copywriting and glanced at it, "The initial starting capital only needs 200,000 taels, which is not too much." ”
"Yes, it's only 200,000 taels, and as soon as the shelves are put up, things will be much easier." Ma Xiangnan nodded repeatedly. "I estimate that it will take at least three years to complete this project, which is about the same time that our fruit trees will be harvested. That's why when I say one million taels, it's a three-year cycle. ”
Qin Feng knocked on the table, "Okay, this 200,000 taels, I agreed, if the household department doesn't give it, I will allocate it to you from the inner treasury." However, in the later stage, I suggest that you go to find Wang Yueyao later, or she can come up with some other ways to raise funds for you, if you can come up with a way to raise funds by yourself, it is also a great thing for the country, you know, now you have to use money everywhere, and everywhere is looking at me with a bloody mouth! ”
"Building roads is such a thing, I'm afraid it's not easy to raise money, and there is no profit, is it possible that we still learn from the bandits on the mountain, come to this mountain is I to open, this tree is planted by me, to hit the mountain before the pass, leave to buy road money?" The horse was embarrassed to the south.
"Let's discuss it first, maybe there will be a good solution!" Qin Feng said with a smile. "By the way, Ma Junshou, it's true that there are many Changyang Mountains, but they are also rich in medicinal materials, right? Why don't you think about it again? The value of this thing attached to it is even greater. As far as I know, the medicinal materials in Changyang are of high quality. ”
"General, but those medicinal materials are grown in the deep mountains, and if you want to collect them, you need a strong man, otherwise the danger will be too great, and there will be no way to do anything about the treasure mountain!"
"Why can't you plant it?" Qin Feng said: "Since you can come up with the idea of planting apples and dates, can't that kind of medicinal herb?" ”
"General, whether it is planting apples or dates, we all have ready-made familiar hands, but planting medicinal herbs is not something that ordinary people can grow well! If you don't get it right, you will lose all your money. ”
"You forgot about Shu's madman?" Qin Feng smiled and said: "Since Taiping City, he has brought several little apprentices to open a medicine garden and grow medicinal materials by himself, of course, what he grows are some extremely precious things, but even those rare and precious things can be grown, those ordinary medicinal materials you have there, is it still a matter for them?" ”
Ma Xiangnan hesitated for a moment, "Doctor Shu is not very good at talking. ”
"It depends on whether you are sincere or not, if you really want to do this, there must be a way to let him help you." Qin Feng grinned.
"Okay, then I'll fight this old face and block him every day." Ma Xiangnan said horizontally, "You have to let him give up a few little apprentices." ”
"That's right, if you want to get things done, you have to be thick-skinned." Qin Feng laughed.
"By the way, General, in addition to money, I also want people." Ma Xiangnan scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed to make another request to Qin Feng.
"What kind of people?"
"The man who built the road." Ma Xiangnan said: "The general built Taiping City, built Daye City, and there are many experts in this field in the craftsman camp under his command, especially under such harsh geographical conditions from Taiping City to Daye City, they can build such a good road out, and we are there, even if it is nothing, if the general can transfer such talents to help me, I think, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"Compared to money, I can transfer you right away from someone like you want." Qin Feng laughed: "I will send someone to tell the skillful hand to choose the best master to go to you." ”
"Thank you, General!" The horse was overjoyed to the south. For a while, I only felt refreshed, and this time I entered Beijing, which can be described as a full harvest.
"No thanks, Ma Junshou, I'm here to ask you something." Qin Feng looked at him thoughtfully: "When you were in the Chu State, you were also a pro-people official, in charge of a county, I want you to compare, what is the difference between now and then?" Where do you prefer to do things? ”
Qin Feng's question suddenly asked Ma Xiangnan where to stay, just now, he completely entered the role of a local pro-people official for the benefit of the local area, and completely forgot his identity source, at this time Qin Feng asked, he suddenly saved his original identity, and immediately opened his mouth.
Qin Feng looked at him with a smile.
Ma Xiangnan suddenly felt that his thinking was disordered, and he didn't know how to answer.
"If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it, you know my temperament." Qin Feng Dao.
After a long time, Ma Xiangnan let out a long breath, looked at Qin Feng, and said: "Being a pro-people official in Chu is happy and painful, but being a pro-guard official in Changyang is painful and happy." ”
"This confuses me, I want to hear about it!" Qin Feng didn't figure out the difference between the two for a while. (To be continued.) )
