Chapter 43 Let's get rich together
Izumo Prefecture has always been known for its simple folk customs, and after serving as a prefectural magistrate here for three years, there have not been many civil disputes that required the intervention of the prefectural government. On the one hand, it is because it is the residence of a large military family, and everyone is familiar with it. On the other hand, there are basically no economic disputes among the people here, and everyone is planting medicine for the country, so what irreconcilable contradictions can there be.
But now it's different, Izumo has opened up the free trade of medicinal herbs, and the medicinal herbs grown are enough to pay the index, and the rest is sold in the trade zone, and the money is all their own, so that everyone has a conflict. Because of the free buying and selling, Ziyun will naturally buy cheaper medicinal materials.
In Izumo, medicinal materials are all rotten street things, and now that there is an opportunity to turn these medicinal materials into money, everyone naturally wants to hurry up, so in terms of pricing, everyone is desperately trying to lower the price, counting on their medicinal materials to sell as soon as possible, so that conflicts inevitably arise.
"That's the case, Master Li, let's see what you are going to do." An Yi said, "Although it is indeed a good thing to be able to exchange these useless medicinal materials for money, but because of the price problem, there have been a lot of conflicts in the past few days. ”
"I originally thought that the people here were simple, why would the people here pay for the knife because of the price?" Li Feiqiu looked at the bamboo slips and said, "Also, why do you use bamboo slips to write this kind of thing, this thing is really difficult to use." ”
"Save it, important information, official documents can be written in silk and paper, this kind of daily things, and then use that kind of high-end goods, it is pure waste." An Yi said, "Otherwise, why do you think that we people have the opportunity to know words after becoming Crystal Soul Members, silk and paper are not easy to make, as for books and other things, they are only qualified to be used by the world." ”
"......" Li Feiqiu turned his head to look at Su Su, who was reading a novel on the side.
"Look at what I'm doing, this is taken from that princess, I have to say, using blank paper as a novel, that is, the royal family is qualified to use it." Su Su said.
"Paper is not a cheap thing, such a thin book costs a tael of silver." An Yi said.
"It turns out that in the past few days, I actually used a little ten taels of silver to wipe my buttocks?" Li Feiqiu was a little surprised.
"What? So precious paper, you ...... How could you do such a thing? Isn't there a toilet chip in the toilet? An Yi was furious.
"Well, isn't it just a few pieces of paper? Our Feng family can afford this money. Feng Wan'er said casually.
"The Feng family's money, it's okay...... What a fart! We have a meeting in Izumo Prefecture, how did you get in! An Yi shouted.
"Calm down, haven't you noticed that this county government is different from yesterday?" Feng Wan'er blew open the tea leaves, took a sip, and said slowly.
In the past few days, An Yi has been in charge of supervising the progress of the project in the trade zone and maintaining order on the site, until there was a conflict, she rushed back to report the situation, because she was in a hurry, so she did not carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Now she took a closer look at the county office, and the original earthen floor had been paved with marble, the gray walls had been repainted, the pillars had been painted with red paint, even the plaques had been replaced with new ones, and the large hole in the roof had been transformed into a skylight. As for the tables, chairs and benches, they have all been replaced with yellow pears, and the teapots and bowls have all been replaced with purple sand. Even the killing rod in the corner of the wall is very intimately added with a gauntlet.
"Because I think you may still walk from the roof, I changed it to a skylight for you, and if you walk from there in the future, remember to open the window first." Li Feiqiu said.
"You became a lackey of the world for the sake of pleasure?" An Yi said in disbelief.
"You, how can you say that, we just cooperate, cooperate." Feng Wan'er is still not very good at communicating with unfamiliar people, and her little face is flushed.
"It's nothing, it's just that everyone takes what they need, after all, they can't do anything with five thousand taels of silver." Li Feiqiu said.
"Anyway, I definitely don't explain what the clan gave, absolutely not!" An Yi said stubbornly.
"How can this kid not understand the truth of uniting all the forces that can be united?" Li Feiqiu said, "Even the prime minister has to cooperate with the Shi clan, and we have no choice but to do so." ”
"That's it, and, in order to, in order to build this trade zone, I also spent a lot of money, and I also opened a special trade route, you, how can you say that?" Feng Wan'er was very aggrieved.
I have to say that after opening a trade route, there are indeed a lot more goods in the trade area, which is one of the reasons why everyone is in a hurry to exchange medicinal materials for money, and you can directly exchange money for goods here. And because the trade route has just opened, there are not many goods sent over, so everyone is also in a hurry to buy these goods.
"Leave the rest of the matter aside, go on, what's going on with that knife? Why do people here have knives? Li Feiqiu asked.
"It's all the army and their families, so it's reasonable to have a knife at home. But you don't have to worry, you won't see blood, after all, it's just a little money, not desperate. The cause of the incident was that the two sides pressed each other's prices, and in the end, there was almost no profit, so one party was in a hurry and pulled out the knife. An Yi said.
"Don't we have an official takeover? Can't they just sell the herbs to us? Li Feiqiu asked.
"There is a problem with that acquisition office, and everyone Ziyun is cheaper to collect directly from the private sector, so how can they buy it directly from us? Ziyun doesn't buy from us, how can the people sell medicinal herbs to us? An Yi sighed.
"Why don't we forcibly buy the medicinal materials here in the future, and then sell the medicinal materials to Ziyun in a unified manner, isn't that okay?" Lin Yuebai said, "In this way, we can also earn a little more." ”
"There are more than 180 kinds of medicinal materials shipped from all over the country, and there are only 20 or 30 kinds of medicinal materials produced in Izumo, and the 180 kinds of medicinal materials we sell are the bulk of the lot, and these medicinal materials have already given me enough affordable prices.
Let them buy cheap medicinal materials from the people in Izumo, and they can't block other people's roads to do business, and people are also looking at it...... If one day people suddenly don't want to do business with us, we will change back to the original state. Li Feiqiu said.
"Then let's let them fight back and forth like this, they dare to pull out knives when I am present today, maybe they will really dare to fight next time. Many of these people are retired, and they have a brave and ruthless temperament. An Yi said.
"Maybe it's because you're not a deterrent, right?" Li Feiqiu guessed, "I don't require you to be a big man with a full face, even if you are replaced by a wooden boss, the effect will be much better." ”
"Hey, I'm here to ask you for a way, not for you to mock me." An Yi said angrily.
"It's not easy to do, the price is over, set a reasonable price, and stipulate that the price can't exceed this price range." Li Feiqiu said, "Is this method difficult? ”
"That's what I said, but ......" An Yi was a little embarrassed, "will these people really listen?" If the price is too low, can we still punish them? ”
"Isn't there a self-operated business on our side? It would be nice to use the money earned to subsidize their commodity purchases," Li Feiqiu said, "If the price is too low, there will be no subsidy, and this will solve the problem?" ”
"Subsidies? Don't collect their taxes, but also give subsidies? An Yi's eyes widened,
"The more money the people have, the more they spend, the more the traders earn, and the more taxes are collected from the vendors. Besides, the medicinal materials shipped from all over the country are free of charge, and we can't afford to lose this kind of unprofitable trading. Li Feiqiu said.
"That'...... Let's try? An Yi asked cautiously.
"By the way, remember to set aside some money and send it to the government that sent medicinal materials here, so that they can also make money, otherwise they won't send medicine here." Li Feiqiu instructed.
Although it is the policy of Qingdu to send medicinal materials to the front line, if the local government knows that their medicinal materials are used by Izumo County to make money, they will definitely not send so many medicinal materials next time, and even send medicinal materials according to the amount.
