Chapter 128: A Book of Ten Thousand Benefits
Qin Shaoyou had no choice but to comfort Li Lingyue and said, "Your Highness, this trade is seasonal, and now the popsicles can't be sold, so I have expected it a long time ago." ±,”
Li Lingyue found a stool and sat down, rested her elbow on a few cases on the side, and supported her chin: "Why didn't this tea sell it early, now that a lot of it has been produced in Zhuangzi, many people are seeking to buy it." ”
She was anxious about this.
In fact...... This is also very understandable, some time ago, Zhuangzi spent a lot of money to buy tea, and has begun to make tea according to Qin Shaoyou's method, and the princess tea hoarded in Zhuangzi has reached hundreds of catties, but Qin Shaoyou is not in a hurry to peddle, but releases a few catties every day, although the selling price is high, now some high-ranking families are even willing to buy a few taels at the same price in order to buy, but a few catties a day, it is only to earn these ten catties, Li Lingyue now has a big appetite, how can he put these ten catties in his eyes.
Since she began to enter the gold bucket every day, the expenses have naturally risen, and now her income has plummeted, and she is unable to make ends meet, so she came to Xingshi angrily to ask for her guilt.
Qin Shaoyou explained neatly: "Your Highness, we can't be in a hurry about this tea, it's not us who are in a hurry, but Cui Gong, people like them, once they have a hobby, how much money they spend, and they must be satisfied, so we slowly increase the volume, first slowly raise the price, for us, tea must maintain a price, and when it gradually becomes popular and the momentum is created, it is the time for us to make a windfall." Now the idle manpower in Zhuangzi has begun to grow mulberry tea in Mengxi, and large-scale tea production will be next year. ”
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's explanation, Li Lingyue was naturally dissatisfied: "But the palace has no money, you have to borrow some from me." ”
Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness...... In fact...... I don't have any money anymore. ”
"No money." Li Lingyue's eyes widened: "You don't want to talk nonsense, the money in this palace is because I bought a few mansions." I've never heard of what you bought with money. ”
Qin Shaoyou said, "Uh...... I raised soldiers. ”
Li Lingyue looked at Qin Shaoyou like an idiot, and finally sighed faintly: "This palace understands, no wonder when I entered the camp, there was no unity camp here." ”
"Your Highness also knows about the Solidarity Camp?"
"I didn't know, weren't you named the captain of the Unity Battalion? This palace naturally has to pay attention to it, you are really pitiful, you were assigned to such a place, and you actually paid for it yourself. ”
Qin Shaoyou was even more depressed, depressed for a long time. He suddenly thought of one thing, and said: "What you said is right, you can't pay for it yourself anymore, if it goes on like this, I, Qin Shaoyou, will have to starve to death." I finally came up with a way to save my life. ”
Ignoring Li Lingyue, Qin Shaoyou said to His Royal Highness, and rushed out in a hurry, and went directly to find Wang Yonglai.
Ever since he knew that Her Royal Highness the princess had come to visit Qin Shaoyou, Wang Yong's attitude towards Qin Shaoyou had become even more groveling. He is a side disciple of a high-ranking family, his grandmother does not hurt him, his uncle does not love him, and it is very rare to get here through the relationship. He knew in his heart that the clansmen would never give him any more care, and this Captain Qin had money. If you really want to rectify yourself and go to Henan Mansion to make some money, you may lose your official position. Not to mention, people are still familiar with the princess.
"What does Captain Qin command?"
Qin Shaoyou is very polite, he is in the camp, he is the existence of the king of heaven, in this kind of place, whoever has money is the uncle, many times when he feels sorry for the money, he can't help but vent, and he has to do it, so he is very polite, he just slapped it over, and said viciously: "Damn, the captain of this school thinks about it and suffers a loss." ”
Wang Yong was slapped in the face, he was thick-skinned, but he didn't react, but he hurriedly said: "The captain is angry." ”
"Rest on your head." Qin Shaoyou said angrily: "The entire battalion, everyone is working hard, only you, the brigade commander, usually eat a lot of fucking food, but do little, it's useless at all, it's not done, hurry up and pack up my things and get out." ”
"Don't." Wang Yong was about to cry again, so he hurriedly grabbed Qin Shaoyou's sleeve and said, "Captain, I have old and young, and they all point to me to eat this mouthful, Captain ......"
Qin Shaoyou was cold: "All in all, you don't have to worry about the affairs in this camp." ”
Wang Yong's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground, in the entire battalion, he was indeed the most useless one, compared with Fang Jing, he was not even as good as scum, this point, he was self-aware: "Captain...... I can't......"
Qin Shaoyou said coldly: "If you want to continue to stay in the camp, then from tomorrow, you have to do one thing for the captain of this school, and if this matter is done, even if you have great merit." ”
"It's all on the orders of the captain."
Qin Shaoyou said slowly: "How many households are there in our camp?" ”
"Three thousand."
Qin Shaoyou sneered: "What the captain of this school is talking about is the actual amount of food. ”
"Actually, it's eight hundred and seventy-one."
871 households...... It's a little bit.
That is to say, if from a practical point of view, the unity camp is qualified to eat 3,000 households, but the result is only more than 800, there will definitely be room for operation here, but before, Henan Mansion didn't want to deal with you at all, even if it was Mengjin County, it was to bully you, what can you do? Therefore, in the future, with this clear rule, I will go to fight a lawsuit with Mengjin County, and it is very likely that I will win more eaters to come over.
And now, 871 households are enough.
Qin Shaoyou said: "How much land do they have?" ”
"Roughly...... More than 20,000 acres, but this is the land...... Not fertile. ”
At this time, don't look at many people have land, and the land is scary, the average family has twenty or thirty acres of land, after all, it is the early Tang Dynasty, the population is not large, even if it is the Kanto region, it is also less people and more land, but in this era, because of low grain production, even if it is dozens of acres of land, it is just barely a family of barely enough food and clothing.
Qin Shaoyou said: "You go to the door of a family, tell them, from today on, don't plant grain, all change to transplant camellia trees, these lands, all have to grow tea, in the coming year, they pick tea, this school captain, at the price of twenty dollars a catty, of course, want to let people give up growing grain, it is indeed a chore, so if you want to move them, it depends on your ability, of course, I also have a lot of benefits for you, next year I will collect tea, you go to a catty of twenty dollars to collect, to my treasury, I will give you twenty-one dollars, one pound more, Not only do you have the difference of this brigade commander, but also the income of one dollar, how can there be hundreds of catties of tea in a year of this acre of land, this is a net profit of hundreds of dollars, how much is 20,000 mu? ”
This thing is really difficult to do, because to plant tea, first of all, after this year's grain harvest, it can't be planted, what will happen next year, who knows, ordinary people, after all, still only look at the immediate interests, and on the other hand, planting tea also needs to go up the mountain, find a way to transplant camellia down, and I don't know how much effort it will take here.
The reason why Qin Shaoyou handed over the matter to Wang Yong was because Wang Yong, a child of a family, although he had no other skills, he still had the ability to fool with one mouth, and as for whether he could succeed, it was up to him.
For Qin Shaoyou, the eaters planting tea can not only ensure the supply of tea production in their villas, but also save the need to go to other places to harvest tea, which can be reduced to the lowest possible cost, after all, counting on the thousands of acres of land of Qin Shaoyou and the princess, after large-scale production in the future, it is impossible to support production. After all, the camellia tree is a cash crop, and the income from growing grain is several times higher or even ten times, these eaters can make money from the ground, so do they want to pay for the soldiers? In the past, you were bitter haha, you were full of last meal and no next meal, and collecting food was like asking for their lives, but they had money, did you dare to give it? If you don't give it, the villa won't buy your tea and let you eat the northwest wind.
It's just this one, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
On the one hand, the control of the eaters through the lodge made them a part of this interest link.
On the other hand, there is also a stable supply of raw materials for tea making.
And in the end, it was the eaters who earned money by planting tea, and on the side of the unity camp, more taxes could be levied, and in the future, Qin Shaoyou would not have to worry about the money and food spent on raising soldiers.
Wang Yong's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of greed, if the captain does not deceive people, a hundred dollars to collect tea, then instigating the eaters to grow tea, it is a great benefit to the eaters, one acre of land, but the consistent net profit, if there are dozens of acres, is it not easy to have dozens of times? Dozens of times for this era, is definitely a small rich family, and planting camellia trees, than growing grain, is obviously much more worry-free, of course, the most important thing is that he is not only still a brigade commander, but also can take a cut from every catty of tea, this is a million things, if you can really do things, then you can not get thousands of dollars?
Wang Yong couldn't help but said: "Captain Qin, this thing has to be done, and it's not impossible to do it, it's just that there are so many households, just one person to do it, and there is inevitably a shortage of manpower, can you transfer some people, there are more than ten or twenty people." ”
Qin Shaoyou sneered: "You still want manpower?" If you feel that there is a shortage of manpower, you will go to Mengjin County to hire yourself, if the money is not enough, I can support you fifty times first, but when you harvest in the coming year, you need to pay me back with interest. ”
"Okay, this matter is taken over by so-and-so, that is, it is going to the soup and fire, and so-and-so must do things properly, please rest assured that the captain is." Wang Yong's eyes lit up, patted his chest, and made a guarantee. (To be continued......)
