"And, there's the motorcycle. If it is really comparable to a fierce horse, as fast as the wind and as fast as electricity, and has no scruples about vertical and horizontal, if this thing can also be included in the list of sales. ā
"Stop!" Zhu Changyuan patted the table and said, "Stop!" Stop! Mr. Motorcycle don't think about it, Mr. must not know, this motorcycle walking is not more than a bicycle relying on manpower, it relies on fuel, a refueling can only walk less than 100 miles, if there is no oil, then this thing is useless, so Mr. or don't think about it. ā
"Oil? What's that? Gu Changzuo asked.
"Uh," Zhu Changyuan scratched his head, this is really hard to explain what it is, especially to the ancients. After thinking about it for a long time, he came up with a rhetoric and said, "For example, let me give you an analogy, such as horses are to forage, people are to food, and fire is to firewood. Oil, that's it? ā
"Oh." Gu Changzuo seemed to understand, and asked again: "Is the vegetable oil and cottonseed oil at home feasible?" ā
Zhu Changyuan shook his head and said, "This oil is not the other oil, but the oil underground." After thinking about it, he might not understand the oil, so he said: "I don't know if Mr. Gu has seen Shen Kuozhi's "Dream Creek Writings"? ā
"The old man has read it several times, and what is written above is also very interesting."
Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings" is one of the best-selling books in ancient China, and it is rumored that the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty also printed several times and sold them to the people to pay for the army.
So Gu Changzuo must have read it too.
"Well, let's put it this way, there is a thing called lipid water in "Dream Creek Writings". Motorcycle fuel oil is refined from this fat water through 9981 processes. ā
"Oh, so, the old man understands."
"It's good to understand." Zhu Changyuan got up. sat down next to Gu Changzuo and said, "So." Sir, let's not think about the motorcycle first, let's talk about the conditions of the bicycle first. ā
"Good!"
Unable to talk about motorcycles, Gu Changzuo was very disappointed in his heart, but this motorcycle was indeed too restrictive for him, and it was no wonder that Zhu Changyuan did not sell it.
At the very least, there is this bicycle, and if it can be negotiated, it will be a worthwhile trip.
"Mr. Gu." Zhu Changyuan arched his hand towards Gu Changzuo and said, "What about my conditions." Last time, I also roughly talked about it, that is, the half of the land of Songjiang Prefecture under your hands, if you can give this general planting, I will hand over the agency of this bicycle to you, and the profit is still thirty-seven shares, and Mr. does not need the capital to pick up the goods every time, just send the profit share of the previous period to the island. ā
"Of course, General Ben will not plant your land in vain, and I will give the same price as much rent as those tenants can afford. What do you think? ā
The conditions had already entrusted Xu Ermo to tell Gu Changzuo last time. So this product should be mentally prepared.
Moreover, according to Zhu Changyuan's understanding, since it is those tenants who give you land rent. Wouldn't it be better for me to give you the same rent, and you wouldn't suffer a loss?
"It's a bit difficult." Gu Changzuo shook his head with a sad face, and said, "Can the general change the conditions?" Other conditions are easy to discuss, but this condition is not easy to do! ā
It's not easy to do, I think it's you Gu Changzuo who deliberately can't get along with General Ben, and Lao Tzu didn't give you less money, why don't you plant it for me, of course, it's yours who you want to give it to whomever you want. But you're targeting Lao Tzu.
"Mr. Gu thinks he can't deceive you? Or is it that my Zhu someone's integrity is not enough? ā
Zhu Changyuan's words became a little cold.
Gu Changzuo was an old fox, and as soon as he heard Zhu Changyuan's words, he knew that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly explained: "General, my lord." I'm afraid you misunderstood the old man. ā
"The old man's nickname is Gu Bancheng, although he doesn't really own the land in Bancheng of Songjiang Mansion, but he also owns almost one-third, totaling 1.8 million mu, and the general really wants to rent it all down?"
Zhu Changyuan gasped when he heard this, Nima, Gu Bancheng, this old boy turned out to be so rich, he originally thought that it would be good for him to have hundreds of thousands of acres of land, but he didn't expect people to say that there were 1.8 million mu as soon as he opened his mouth.
To be honest, it's a bit much, the land owned by this cargo is almost twenty times the size of the entire Riyue Island, if all of them are planted, it is indeed a troublesome matter to transport fertilizers, a big deal, but now there are big cars, and Dad himself is in the backyard, so that Zhu Changyuan also has confidence.
"Yes, Mr. Gu, 1.8 million acres of land, General Ben is going to rent all of it."
Zhu Changyuan's eyes flickered, and he secretly said that with Gu Changzuo's land, he would not have to worry about military rations in the future.
Just using tractors and fertilizers to farm the land, will it be too eye-catching, you must know that Songjiang Mansion is not as hidden as Sun Moon Island, if it is known by the imperial court, will there be trouble?
Zhu Changyuan was still thinking nonsense, but Gu Changzuo said: "One million and eight thousand acres of land, almost one-third of Songjiang Mansion, does the general know how many people are on these lands?" If the general takes away the old man's land, what will those tenants do for a living? ā
"The old man is not a stingy person, but he is by no means a vicious person. If you get a million profits from the general or even be rich to rival the country, but you want to displace your hometown father, the old man would rather not do it. ā
After Gu Changzuo finished speaking, his face was a little heavy, and he said: "The general should not blame the old man for refusing, if the general can ensure that these fathers and elders have no worries about food and clothing, what if he would rather not have those land rents?" ā
"The old man's rent, according to the upper, middle and lower three kinds of land to calculate, only take 20% as the tax, this income alone every year has grain * 100,000 stones, 400,000 taels of silver, but this is only the best year of the algorithm, generally can have a 300,000 taels of silver is considered good, if there is a famine, then there is no harvest throughout the year, the old man still needs to subsidize the farmers' families. Therefore, this benefit is dispensable for the old man, but for the hometown father, it is his life. ā
"I hope the general will see clearly."
When Zhu Changyuan heard this, he also frowned, if what this old boy said was true, it was really a big problem, he didn't know how many people there were in half of Songjiang Mansion, but there must be a lot, at least much more than the people on Sun Moon Island.
If it is really as Gu Changzuo said, if he farms and others will be displaced, Zhu Changyuan will not do it, this is unreasonable. Besides, the task given to him by the system is to come here to establish the prototype of a modern society, and he also has to accumulate popularity and credibility, and then he has the prestige to call on the world to follow him.
However, if he doesn't develop such a big piece of fat, he won't give up, what should he do?
For example, one acre of high-quality field can harvest 300 catties of rice, but now under Zhu Changyuan's improvement, it should be able to harvest at least 2,000 catties in two seasons, and the extra 1,700 catties can be distributed equally with tenants.
In this way, it is estimated that farmers are also willing.
There is no smooth sailing career in the world, and there is no profitable business, which seems to have suffered a temporary loss, but in fact it has taken a big advantage.
Zhu Changyuan calculated that in addition to seeds and fertilizers, the annual net profit of one mu of land is about 600 catties of rice, which is converted into a unit of the Ming Dynasty, that is, five stones, and 1.8 million mu of land has a grain income of nearly 10 million stones a year.
"Okay, I promise you." Zhu Changyuan said: "I will help them pay you the land rent of those tenants, and I will give them half of the rest of the income, and guarantee 300 catties of rice per mu of land, what do you think?" ā
"Three hundred pounds?" Gu Changzuo frowned slightly, and said, "General, the annual yield of each mu of high-grade land is only three hundred catties, do you want it?" ā
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, "I have my own methods, sir, don't make a fuss, you have been on my Sun Moon Island for so many days, you must have heard about the yield of the land on my island." ā
"That's true." Gu Changzuo nodded, "Since the general can agree to share the harvest equally with the tenant farmers, then Gu is not hypocritical, and only collects the general's rent of 200,000 taels of silver every year." ā
"No, you don't." Zhu Changyuan naturally did not lack such a little silver, waved his hand and said: "Just 300,000 taels, there is one more thing that needs to trouble Mr. Gu to work for General Ben." ā
"General, please."
"In this way, if I rashly enter your place, or adopt a new farming method, it will inevitably arouse the opposition and even resistance of your local farmers, so before next year's harvest, I will trouble Mr. Gu to send his subordinates to do the work from house to house, knowing the benefits, and threatening them if necessary, so as to ensure that I can plant the second crop of rice on time next year."
"Also, since it is equal to them, it is natural that they need to work, but they have to plant it in my way." Since there are so many farmers in the area, there is no need to transport machinery to the farmers, just to provide them with rice seeds and fertilizer.
In this way, the impact on local farmers is also minimized.
"Okay, this matter is easy, the old man has a prestige in Songjiang Mansion, and he will definitely not miss the general's cultivation next year." Gu Changzuo said this, but he was muttering in his heart why did Zhu Changyuan want so much food?
Could it be the preparation of military rations for the rebellion?
Gu Changzuo was taken aback by his sudden thoughts, and secretly said that if this thing rebelled one day, would the old man be implicated, if there is a big chaos today, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ming Dynasty is in danger, so it is necessary to prepare early.
Perhaps, Sun Moon Island is a good place to escape, a paradise.
Gu Changzuo has a lot of money in his hands, more wives and children, and his aunt and wife alone have more than a dozen rooms, and there are so many children that I can't remember how many there are, and who is called what is the name.
For example, his eldest daughter is also a concubine who married Xu Guangqi's eldest son, who is more than forty years old, and his youngest child is still nursing.
"What is Mr. Gu thinking?" Zhu Changyuan asked with a smile.
Gu Changzuo shook his head and said, "It's nothing?" I don't know what conditions the general needs for immigrants from Riyue Island in the future, the Ming Dynasty is full of wars, and the people are full of thieves and robbers, and the old man sees the general here as if he is a paradise, and wants to settle his family here, I don't know, so... ā
"Huh." Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, your family comes to the island, and I, Zhu Changyuan, are very welcome." (To be continued.) )
