[162] Revenues skyrocketed

Regarding the industrial park and other things, Zhou Yi has written a detailed report to Zhao Ji, of course, the focus is that it can increase tax revenue for the country without harming anyone's interests. In feudal society, you can be smart with anyone, but you must stand on the emperor's side, as long as he covers you, everything else is easy to say, otherwise you can only hehehe. Zhou Yi felt that the reason why Zhao Ji trusted him so much had something to do with this decision.

For those shopkeepers, they began to move their workshops into the industrial park as quickly as possible, why not Zhou Yi? Don't forget that he also has a steel mill and a packing plant to his name.

Recruitment notices are posted on the walls of various notices in Zhending Mansion, this is Zhou Yi recruiting workers, the requirements are blacksmiths or have relevant experience, and the monthly salary is two times after passing the assessment and entering the factory, which is probably the average salary of a worker is higher.

If Zhou Yi sets the salary too high, it is against all the capitalists, and it is impossible for the prefect not to follow the price increase, otherwise the people below will inevitably rebel, and once the price is raised, their cost will increase, and all this is brought by Zhou Yi, so they will naturally turn against each other.

But even if Zhou Yi's salary is not high, or even lower than others, there will be a lot of people to join, it is the prefect's own industry, and after entering, he will be the prefect's person, can this be measured by money?

Zhou Yi's tolerance for business and his own business initiatives made other officials accuse him of not doing his job, and the impeachment notes entered the palace like snowflakes one after another, and came to Zhao Ji's table. But Zhou Yi only instilled one concept for Zhao Ji. Support me. I'll be able to make money for you. Earn a lot of money, so much money that you can't spend enough, and if you want to play Banzai Mountain in the future, I can build it for you with so much money, and I will give you all this money.

Just this one is enough to kill everything in seconds. Zhao Ji simply ordered that in the future, whenever the impeachment of Zhou Yi was written, he would be directly sent back, without showing it to himself.

Seeing that there was no way to trip Zhou Yi down, those officials knew. It must be Zhou Yi who has some special skills. If you can't suppress him, why are you courting him? If you can't be an enemy, you should be a friend if you are decisive.

As a result, not only Zhending Mansion itself, but also several prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhending Mansion also began to follow Zhou Yi's method and began to build industrial zones to attract investment. Zhou Yi was very happy to learn the news, sent his own plan for an industrial zone, and rewarded them.

This is a virtuous circle, this is the meat to eat with my brother, and this is the national capital boom. In fact, the business environment of the Song Dynasty was more suitable for the budding of capitalism than that of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it was hundreds of years earlier, and the ideological consciousness could not keep up. So I missed it.

But now that Zhou Yi is here, isn't this ideological consciousness appropriate? Build the Great Song Dynasty into the only capitalist empire in the world. Let this empire, which already has almost a percent of the world's capital, dominate global finance, that is the king.

Zhending Prefecture has carried out vigorous construction of industrial parks, and the upsurge of attracting investment has been carried out in all prefectures and counties. Not to mention the rest, it is the building materials that make the merchants and construction workers who do these businesses a lot of money, and the tax revenue in this area has increased several times.

This achievement is definitely a good news, and Zhou Yi hurriedly wrote it and reported it to the imperial court.

In the blink of an eye, July has arrived, and the rice that Zhou Yi is most concerned about has also reached the ripening season, and he runs into the field every day, staying for a day. I finally raised the tanned skin that I went out to fight last time at home to be white, and this time it was dark again.

Seeing those ears of rice ripen little by little, Zhou Yi's mood also became a little excited. He has eaten rice for two lifetimes, and he has never grown it himself. But at this time, the ears of rice are different from hybrid rice, looking at this sparse rice field, Zhou Yi feels that the food produced by one acre of land is estimated to be not enough for himself to eat. Perhaps because of this, it is understandable why the emperor rewarded hundreds of acres of land, because it is useless if the quantity is small, a person has to eat a few acres of grain in a year!

If all these fields were planted with hybrid rice, it would definitely feed the whole world! You must know that the number of people at this time is only a few hundred million in the world.

Zhou Yi's field is taken care of by several farmers, and they are completely in accordance with Zhou Yi's instructions, and they do their best to take care of the people, and the prefect himself said that as long as this acre of land is taken care of, this year's grain tax will be exempted!

When it was harvest day, Zhou Yi came to the field early, and the farmers also transported their foot threshing machines and put them on the ridges. Zhou Yi tried to use this thing when he was young, but he almost planted himself in it, and he never touched it again.

The harvested rice was packed in a basket, and Zhou Yi couldn't wait to start weighing, but something disappointed him happened, the yield did not change significantly, and one acre of land was only a dozen catties more than the output of the surrounding fields.

But disappointment is disappointment, but he is not discouraged, Rome was not built in a day, and hybrid rice is not grown in a year. Early rice is not good, and there is also medium rice and late rice.

Zhou Yi's current task is to find wild rice again, he is very distressed, why can't he remember what Yuan Longping's grandfather made and what kind of wild rice was used to breed No. 2 rice?

The rice was searched, and Zhou Yi shifted the center of his work to the Shengli Iron and Steel Plant, recruiting more than 1,000 workers, which is already the largest factory in the world, even the steel plant in Qingshen County does not have so many workers. However, Zhending Mansion is different from Qingshen County, Qingshen County is in Shudi, and the Sichuan-Shu region is inconvenient for foreign exchanges, and the products can basically only be digested within the basin, so the production capacity does not need to be further expanded. Zhending Mansion is a big place, the traffic here is developed, the products can radiate the whole country, and even more in the border area, it is not good to do business with outsiders, and the scale is naturally not comparable to Qingshen County.

On this day, Zhou Yi came to the steel mill, there was no hammer to steer for himself, everything needed to start over, fortunately, he already had the experience of Qingshen County, so he would not be in a hurry.

For everyone's ability has been assessed, some people are specifically for pulling bellows, some are suitable for hammering, and some people have a good grasp of the quenching process. These people showed their abilities one by one, and Zhou Yi arranged everyone in different positions according to their abilities. One by one, everyone basically arranged their work. From now on, the steel plant is truly operational. What is still done is the home heating system and coal stove, Zhending Mansion is the north, the north needs heating more than the south, and the half-year-long winter once made Zhou Yi think that he could not survive in such a harsh environment.

It's not a complicated process, but the prospects for sales are very broad, with assembly lines rolling out, one workshop dedicated to melting molten steel, which flows through a groove into a second workshop, where workers use a heavy, roller-like machine to roll the molten steel into sheets. Then the workers of the third workshop cut these steel sheets into the required shapes according to the drawings, and then the workers of the fourth workshop took the steel sheets that had been cut and formed to the customer's home for installation according to the customer's order, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner. So far, it can only be divided into these four steps, and it can't be done if it is fine.

But this is enough, Zhou Yi first installed this heating system in his house, and other officials had to install it at Zhou Yi's request, and when the weather turned cold, everyone felt the benefits of this heating system, and orders poured in. By the end of the year, the steel mill had made tens of thousands of profits, and this was still the profit in his hands. It has to be said that the purchasing power of people in large places is different.

In this year, Zhou Yi experimented with hybrid rice twice, and there was a little bit of effect, which made him very encouraged, as long as it is effective, these effective seeds can be used for optimal cultivation, and he seems to have seen the shocked eyes of the people of the whole country when the yield per mu is 1,000 catties. In that case, if the output increases, the number of people in the country and the physical fitness of the people will inevitably increase substantially. In this era, there are only two aspects of war, one is money, and the other is people, Zhou Yi believes that the commercialized Great Song Dynasty will not be short of money, so as long as there are enough people, the Great Song Dynasty can sweep anywhere!

The second is that Shengli brand fairy brew has captured the hearts of a large number of alcoholics with its fancy packaging and impeccable taste, and after drinking fairy brew, other wines are basically unsellable. Seeing that those winemaking workshops were about to go bankrupt, Zhou Yi immediately absorbed them into the industrial zone, expanded the scale of the winery, and further increased the production capacity of Shenxian Liquor. As for those taverns, they have all been converted into fairy brew specialty stores. Zhou Yi also encouraged everyone to develop various flavors of immortal liquor, so in a few months, the pattern of the entire Zhendingfu liquor market has undergone earth-shaking changes. What is the most profitable business? Of course, the monopoly business is the most profitable, and the fairy brewing dominates the liquor market, and the shopkeepers of the distillery naturally make a lot of money.

What shocked the world even more was that when it was close to the end of the year, Zhou Yi directly disclosed the recipe and production method of the fairy brew to the outside! As long as you make wine, you can make fairy brew without paying any fees, the only requirement is that it must be in uniform packaging. In other words, it is necessary to cooperate with Zhou Yi's packaging factory. It's not a big deal, and no one is going to shirk it.

The popularity of Shu embroidery is no less than that of fairy brewing, and everyone's assets have exploded in a few months! Correspondingly, it is the tax revenue of Zhending Mansion, which is so much that it is heart-pounding!

As long as the loan accounting method is truly implemented throughout the country, Zhou Yi can already predict that the country's tax revenue can increase by at least 30% this year! (To be continued......)
