Chapter 527: The New Deal is like business

Everybody's talking about it.

Xu Qian's words are not unreasonable, there are more mulberry fields, the price of silk will definitely plummet, and the result of the plunge is that everyone can't make money, the bigger the gentry, the loss is also huge, without it, because you have more silk on hand, if you can't find a buyer, how can people lower your price, you don't have a problem.

Now the situation in Zhejiang is that after the stimulation of the first two years, many people are crazy to change grain to mulberry, and the scale of silk production has increased by as much as four or five times compared with two or three years ago.

If the price falls to the bottom, everyone should not think about how much money to make, but how much money to be prepared to lose.

After all, the yield of silk production is still much higher than that of growing grain, and once the raw silk cannot be sold, the consequences will be disastrous.

As Futai said, the only way is to keep most people out of silk production, so that they can grow grain well, in the past two years, because most people produce silk, the price of grain has increased a lot, but it is not enough, compared to the price of grain, the profit of silk price is still much higher, many people who have tasted the sweetness, how can they go back to grow grain? Then, the only way is to raise the threshold of silk production, reduce the threshold of growing grain, raise the threshold is to increase taxes, the tax rate is several times, the general small households, or small and medium-sized landlords, can no longer take such a risk to produce silk, at the same time, the government will carry out a low tax or even almost tax-free policy for most grain households, so that this kind of grain is more or less profitable, and stable, even for small households, at least a few acres of land planted at home, can make a family fill their stomachs, so that the output of raw silk on the market will plummet, Meanwhile. Prices naturally rise, and rising prices are good for large mulberry growers, even if they are levied by the government with high tax rates, they can still generate huge profits.

Everyone pondered this aspect with Xu Qian's thoughts, and they really felt that it made sense.

Even if someone still doesn't understand, there are some people who roughly know the meaning to explain to him, Liu Yu is a scholarly person, and he is a very smart person. Xu Qian understood the key to it.

He stroked his goatee under his chin and nodded secretly.

At least...... He recognized Futai's remarks, and in a sense, he also approved Futai's tax plan. Merely...... He is still a little unwilling, people are like this, thinking that his family is also a family with a head and a face, but he was harshly taxed by the government like this, this face, after all, is dull, of course. Liu Yu is more concerned about the issue of silk prices, what Futai is saying now is good, if the new tax rate is implemented this year, the price of silk will still plummet? How should this account be calculated?

It's a matter of that. It is the root of the clan, after all, in order to produce silk, although the Liu family has earned a lot of silver, it has also hired a lot of people. Specializing in the work of stripping and peeling cocoons, a lot of silk machines have also been customized. But a lot of money was made.

Liu Yu said: "Futai said that each catty of silk can be maintained at one or two or four dollars of silver, is there any basis? ”

Xu Qian has already prepared: "This is only the lowest estimate of the official, if this tax rate law is implemented, one or two or four dollars is only a conservative estimate, this is the official's friend Niu Jin after this year's Ruyi Fang raw silk trading volume, output, price for precise calculation, Niu Jin was the shopkeeper of Ruyi Fang, and now Xi is the official money and grain of the house, his prediction, the difference will not be very large, of course, the most important thing is to curb the production of raw silk." ”

Hearing the three words of Ruyifang, everyone is somewhat convinced, although Ruyifang is far away in Beijing, but everyone knows that the most profitable thing in the world is Ruyifang, Ruyifang can make money, relying not only on the inextricable relationship between the DPRK and China, but also on the superhuman vision, it can be said that if it is not for Ruyifang, it is impossible to drive the price of raw silk skyrocketing, and it will not let the whole Zhejiang fall into the upsurge of changing grain to mulberry.

"And...... You must also know that the official has taken the Shuangyu Port, this Shuangyu Port, I think you have also heard of it, the palace has allowed the sea route pacification envoy franchise, with my Ming specialties and countries to trade, the sea route pacification envoy has a large number of requisition, manufacturing ships, specifically responsible for the export of raw silk, porcelain, tea, this year this weaving bureau will be built, then the demand for raw silk will increase a lot than in previous years, in this case, you only manage the production of silk, even if all the fields are to produce silk, this year's silk price will not be low, It's just that if the whole of Zhejiang will produce silk, what the price will be, the official can't guarantee it. ”

The news of the Weaving Bureau, everyone has already heard that the weaving needs to use silk, which is beyond doubt.

Liu Yu couldn't help but say: "It is said that the Lord is the largest proprietor of Ruyi Fang, since he wants to run a weaving bureau, then if we prepare to build silk spinning and make silk by ourselves, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Xu Qian's words are equivalent to giving a reassurance, the meaning of the people is very clear, the mulberry tax has been raised, and this year's income will not only not be less, but will increase, since there is a guarantee, and move out of the Ruyi Fang, if everyone refuses again, it will be a little uninteresting.

However, this tax cannot be agreed to first, and see if there are other benefits, and it is only right to ask for more benefits by using this tax rate. In any case, they are the wealthy family of the land, and what the wealthy family is, the wealthy family should naturally enjoy preferential policies.

Xu Qian said: "This is not a problem, the location of the manufacturing bureau is in Songjiang Mansion, but at the moment, you may have to change places, if you don't go on a business trip, it will be Ningbo, if you want to do some business, it is easy, now is the time to be revived, as long as there is silver, there will be profits." Yes, there's one more thing, I wonder if you're interested? ”

Liu Yu's impression of Xu Qian has changed a lot now, he has a feeling that the young Futai in front of him is a very thoughtful person, and he is also a very methodical person, this is enough, there is a way for everyone to have food to eat, if he meets a faint official, he only thinks about the suffering of the people, but he does not think about the wealthy family, and if he does not deal with the wealthy family, he will die. And since Xu Qian has made a promise, and listening to him talk eloquently, it is indeed the case, so Liu Yu said with a smile: "My lord, please speak." ”

Xu Qian said: "Once Ningbo is done, not only the weaving bureau will settle in, even Ruyi Fang, Ruyi money village will also be opened, then there is the first good place, but the rivers in Zhejiang are known, although the waterway is dense, but in many places, take the passenger ship is just it, but in the future to go to the cargo ship, but it is not easy, so the river should be widened, the silt in the river should be cleaned up, the embankment, but also to repair it, once the water network is done, the future in Zhejiang Province is not only convenient, In the future, your raw silk and goods can also be reduced into freight, but to do this thing, but it is not easy, the official calculated, the required tattoo silver is afraid to cost hundreds of thousands of taels, the people recruited by the prefectures and counties, also need tens of thousands, the official has some silver, but not much, this matter to be done, after all, it will be apportioned, you are willing to ......"

Liu Yu was stunned, not to mention the increase in the tax rate, now if you want to play apportionment, you need hundreds of thousands of silver, if you calculate it like this, wouldn't the Liu family at least have to come out with eight thousand taels of silver, you go and grab it.

Xu Qian saw that everyone's faces were embarrassed, and they pinned their faces to the side one by one, pretending not to hear.

Xu Qian had to say: "Of course, it's not for everyone to spend, these silver, the official will let people be specifically responsible, who raises how much, and then formulates a share, in the future, all the wharves but all cargo ships, inevitably have to charge dozens to hundreds of freight, add up to a lot, within five years, roughly can be returned, the silver earned in the future, everyone receives money according to the share of donations, in fact, this is also a business, take the silver out to widen the river, and sit on the ground to collect money in the future, so that not only the transportation in the province is a lot more convenient, Everyone's goods can also be shipped out in time, and you can also sit on the ground to collect money, this is the best of all three things, if you don't want to, then it's okay, it's really not possible, just let the Ruyi Fang out of the silver is, the official is just to give everyone a way to do business in and out, this silver you don't earn, Ruyi Fang will naturally come to earn. ”

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but think secretly, Zhejiang's water network is dense, once Ningbo gets it, there are not many people on this water network who have to rely on ships to transport goods out and back through the guò waterway, so many cargo ships are on the water, this is indeed silver, it seems to be a good deal.

It's just that it's not easy to let everyone take the money now, and everyone has to go back and discuss it well.

But today I saw Futai, but I benefited a lot, many things about Xu Qian, very thought-provoking, but also broadened their horizons, now everyone can't help but sigh, this Lord Xu is no wonder to be able to run Ruyi Fang, and so impressive, dare to love this guy is a good hand as an official, and there are several brushes for this way of business.

When it comes to the banquet, the atmosphere is more harmonious, many people have taken the reassurance, and they will naturally let go, plus Xu Qian does not take the shelf, quite a bit of the governor takes the lead, and takes everyone to make a fortune together, although it is said that it is indecent for the official gentry to talk about money, but many things are tacit, people live in the world, isn't it for profit that it is indecent to talk about business as an official, but not all of them are experts in making money? The gentry were not supposed to talk about buying and selling, but they had no money to eat.

And once everyone is locked in the room to talk about business and money, for the gentry, this is considered a close relationship, if the relationship is not good, most of them want to talk to you about the way of Confucius and Mencius, talk about the elegant things in the countryside, only with friendship, everyone is their own people, will talk to this point. Since Futai directly talked about business, the implication was that he did not mean to treat everyone as outsiders.
