Chapter 26: The Great Demon Reform 4
Zheng Long smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have plenty of money." It's getting late today, so I won't give out the money. Tomorrow morning, bring all the tents and receive the money. ”
This one-time more than 10,000 taels of silver is no longer in Zheng Long's eyes.
The "Congress" will produce 4,000 taels of gold and 80,000 taels of silver a day!
Zheng Long also knew that he could not rely entirely on the output of the Star Castle, and said: "As for the future, when the weavers have machines, the tailors should also be active and work." Let's build an assembly line production workshop. We don't want to cut the best clothes, we just want to be able to mass-produce cheap clothes. Of course, it is unlikely that it will be sold to the countryside, after all, almost every household in the countryside has a loom. But the burghers can't rely on tailors and garment factories? Although there are only 3 million people registered in Sichuan, you also know that there are at least 8 million people. Therefore, our market is large enough. I can sell it. ”
Zheng Long continued: "In addition, it is necessary to build a glass factory, which I will experiment myself and then teach to the workers. ”
The sixth uncle was amazed and said, "Glass? There are not many precious things in Shichuan, and only luxury families such as Shu Wangfu have them. ”
Zheng Long smiled and said, "Let's sell it in several classes." You don't care about this, I'll find a craftsman to try out the glass. In addition, the blacksmiths could not be idle, although there was not much saltpeter in the river, and there was not much sulfur, so the output of gunpowder was not large, but there was no need for musketeers, all for artillery, which was barely enough. So, the blacksmiths' job was to try to cast bronze cannons in private. Only our city wall, with copper cannons everywhere, will people outside dare not invade. ”
The sixth uncle was suddenly proud, and his eyes lit up and said: "Unexpectedly, the city of Qingyang District, which has been repaired for two years, has been repaired, headed by Zheng Zhangzhou of Zhengjia Village, supplemented by the power of the eight surnames of Liao, Yang, Pei, Li, and Niu in the entire city, and the big city of 1,000 craftsmen has been repaired." I didn't expect it to be just a few days! Tsk, tsk, tsk, although the head of the family is not very old, this ambition is higher than the sky. The true ambition of Lingyun. Two years ago, the head of the family proposed to build a Zhuangzi, and I said that the family couldn't afford it, but I didn't expect it to happen! Truly remarkable! ”
Zheng Long waved his hand proudly: "What is this?" In the future, our city will only be bigger and more majestic. ”
The sixth uncle was also a little worried, and said: "Although it is common for the landlord's family to repair the village and build a wall of several hundred meters, but our inner and outer walls, is it ...... Some overstepped? Although it is estimated that it is not a good thing, it is not a good thing. ”
The sixth uncle muttered a few words to himself, his expression turned calm, and said: "If it was the early years of the Ming Dynasty, or the Jiajing period, we would definitely attract heavenly soldiers to attack, but now in this world, the Liukou and Dongnu have not been wiped out, and if you want to come, it will not be our turn to care about such idle things." After all, this Daming pill sooner or later! ”
Zheng Long laughed and said, "That's right, what kind of big deal is it for our landlord's family to repair some village, Zhuangzi?" You can rest assured. ”
The sixth uncle said: "The little old man can see far without the head of the family, since the head of the family says this, the little old man is relieved." In the future, is our city called a village? Inconspicuous, unattractive. ”
"This suggestion is good, let's call it Qingyangzhuang."
The sixth uncle bowed to the ground and said, "Little old man obeys." The owner of everything has the final say! ”
The speed at which these six uncles changed their words was at the level of modern sales.
The next day, Zheng Long asked Nicole Jasmine to train his cavalry early, and he arrived at the castle hall of the city lord early.
This council hall is already an annex to the castle of the city lord, and it is still two stories high, but the first floor is six meters high, which is majestic enough.
Looking from the room on the second floor of the council hall, the streets of my own city are crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the flow of people is like weaving.
Those who sell fruit bowls on their heads, those who start looms at home, those who make rice on the fire at the door, and those who make soy sauce ......, all kinds of things.
In the outer city, there is a barracks, which is the training ground for the clone soldiers "peasants". Naturally, this training ground is only the size of a palm, after all, it is only the residence of a hundred peasants.
There is also a building that is the living place of 500 families. They are separated from the surrounding fields by a row of wooden fences. Inside the square, training is underway.
The sixth uncle also came early.
Bring seven bookkeepers and four clerks.
My uncle also came. Now, although his uncle's position has only been a clerk for more than 20 days, Zheng Long naturally can't let his own uncle serve as a low-level civil servant all the time. Soon promoted to one of the head of the village.
The head of the village is naturally an inconspicuous and unrestrained title. Equivalent to a manager position.
For a month, Zheng Long gave his uncle five stone rice. You can take the silver at the price of one stone of rice and two taels of silver, or you can take the rice home directly. But Zhang Gui must have taken six taels of silver and two stones of rice. In this way, all expenses are gone.
In the past few days, Zhang Gui felt like he was floating in the clouds, six taels of silver a month, two stones of rice, he first supported three taels of silver, and at the end of the month, he closed three taels of silver and two stones of rice.
The rice is all freshly harvested from their own fields.
In the past, when he was farming, he did his own harvest, but now, the lord of the castle takes care of his relatives and friends, and all of them hire workers. - Naturally, all clone farmers.
The rice is harvested, dried, and threshed, all of which are the responsibility of the hired laborers, and the head of the household bears the expenses.
Therefore, he got six taels of silver and two stones of rice for nothing.
It's a beautiful day!
The two closest relatives are there, that is, Zheng Long's grandparents are there, and Zhang Gui can also support them, besides, Zhang Gui's family only has four adults and a small child. For five people, if there are fifteen stone meters a year, it is enough. But now, there are twenty-four stone meters, and in addition, seventy-two taels of silver.
This day is really beautiful!
In the past few days, Zhang Gui knew that his monthly salary was about to be closed, so he also bought meat for a few days.
The high-grade black pork is only seventy-two pounds of silver, Zhang Gui eats one pound every day, and it is only three dollars and five taels of silver in five days.
It made the family's faces ruddy tenfold!
The former scorched yellow and thin gradually disappeared, because he no longer even went to the field to bask in the sun, and his face was much whiter, and he looked a little like a small landlord.
And such a change also happened to the sixth uncle Zheng Yinghui, and his three sons Zheng Baiyong, Zheng Baiwen, and Zheng Bai Fitness.
It happened to families with family members.
When Zheng Long arrived, he first went to the council hall, and then went down to the basement, and the basement of the council hall was the vault. Zheng Long opened the door of the vault and asked people to go in and move the silver.
I saw the inside of the vault illuminated by an oil lamp. Place these 100 large boxes.
In each box, there were 100 silver ingots of fifty taels.
Two more boxes of silver ingots were taken, and it was enough.
He gave the money to the owner of the horse one by one, and then let the craftsmen who hired him look at the money, and they were sure that they were not playing tricks on them for nothing. I am not afraid to wait for the head of the family to give me fine silver next month.
