Chapter 017: The First Industrial Park of the Han Dynasty
"Ah sneeze~"
"Ah sneeze~"
"Grass (a plant), who speaks ill of me behind my back!"
When he got up early in the morning, Huo Guang sneezed twice in a row, and then scolded unintentionally.
At this time.
He had already taken the guards who could go down to the land out of the General's Mansion to collect the food tax that he had not asked for for for several years.
The so-called food tax means that the princes have the right to collect land tax in their fiefs.
But.
With the beginning of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion during the period of Emperor Wen, the newly feuded liehous, or the marquis of Guannei, did not enjoy the fiefdom, only the food estate.
Wei Yan is the Marquis of Yichun rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Although it is only a name, there are 200 food estates.
During the reign of Emperor Wen, each household was given a share of 60 acres of land, but by the early days of Emperor Wu's reign, the population had skyrocketed from 15 million to 38 million, more than twice as much.
Therefore, in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, each household was only about 30 acres.
Count it this way.
Wei Yan, the Yichun Marquis, can collect a total of 66,600 yuan in a year. It has been four years since the beginning of the feudal marquis in 124 BC to the present 121 years.
So.
Wei Yan can collect at least 266,400 yuan in tax this time.
As the Marquis of Yichun, Wei Yan, for the first time in his life, received so much money, of course, he was very excited.
"It turns out that I, the Marquis of Yichun, can really receive taxes. Haha, a lot of money, it's the first time I've seen so much money! At this time, Wei Yan was a little trembling when he spoke.
But Huo Guang cast a disdainful look at his behavior.
He's a marquis, right?
Among the twenty knights of the Qin and Han dynasties, one of the two highest titles!
Four years of tax accumulation, only this amount of money?
What to be happy about!
Of course, this is also the reason why there is a difference between Hou and Hou. After all, he, the Marquis of Yichun, was just stained with the light of his father Wei Qing, and he didn't have any military merits, so he only rewarded the lowest 200 food towns.
Like the champion Hou Huo went to illness, he was rewarded with tens of thousands of households!
A well-deserved marquis of ten thousand households!
If you want to collect the tax on food, how much money does it have to be? If Huo Guang didn't want to know about his own affairs to Brother Champion, otherwise he would definitely get some money from his brother.
Side.
Seeing that Huo Guang didn't speak, Wei Yan hurriedly leaned over and hooked his shoulders and said, "Let's go, old watch, we made so much money today, let's go back to the city and buy some delicious food!" ”
Buying food?
Wipe!
Lao Tzu still expects this money to be used as capital to make a fortune, you told me to buy food?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang immediately slapped the unlucky Wei Yan on the buttocks, and then heard Wei Yan's pig-killing screams.
"Oh ho... What are you doing, the wound on my ass hasn't healed yet! Wei Yan pushed Huo Guang away in pain.
However.
Huo Guang said directly: "No wonder my uncle doesn't look down on you, so he collected some taxes, and you want to enjoy it?" ”
"What about the cause we are talking about? Forgot? ”
"Don't want your general's father to be impressed by you?"
However, Wei Yan muttered and said, "Just spend a little, don't we have so much money, spending a little is not in the way." ”
"No way!" Huo Guang glared at him directly, and said: "You want to spend a little today, think about spending a little tomorrow, sooner or later you will lose all this money, now I will keep the money, and I can't touch a cent!" ”
As soon as I heard this.
Even if Wei Yan was stupid, he was not happy anymore, and said, "This is my money!" ”
Huo Guang saw that Wei was in a hurry, and immediately softened his tone, and said in a flickering manner: "Old cousin, we are the ones who want to do great things." The so-called big things don't hesitate to tip. This amount of money, if you and I divide it, how can it be successful? ”
"You believe me!"
"In three months, I will definitely multiply this money several times! At that time, you could buy whatever you wanted in Chang'an City! ”
was Huo Guang said this, and Wei Yan could only agree.
Did the ancients love money?
Love!
Throughout the ages, who doesn't love money, even the emperor Lao Tzu loves money. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit.
Even like Huo Guang, who is a human being in two lives, he still likes small money.
Now that he has the capital, Huo Guang took Wei Ling out of the city and began to choose a good place to produce toilet paper.
But Wei Yan didn't know what Huo Guang was going to do, so he asked, "Old Biao, what are we going to do here?" ”
The corners of Huo Guang's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Don't do anything, just find a good place and build an industrial park that can make money!" ”
"Industrial parks? I don't understand what you're saying! Wei Yan couldn't help but scratch his head, as a Western Han native, he naturally couldn't understand this modern vocabulary.
Huo Guang also had a slight headache.
I don't have to drag any modern words, so it's troublesome to explain.
After thinking about it, I didn't know what to say, so I decided not to explain, and said bluntly: "If you don't understand it, you just follow me, and you will understand it after a long time." ”
"Oh!" Wei Yan nodded.
It's just that it looks like I'm still a little confused.
But now is not the time to be confused, and the rest of the matter is very troublesome. Because Huo Guang is preparing to enclose land, only with land can factories be built, and only with factories can large-scale production be carried out.
This series of things is not to say that you can do it well with money.
It has to be related!
Although land in the Han Dynasty was privately owned and could be bought and sold freely. But the question is, how to buy and sell?
Everyone knows that the land system of the Han Dynasty was complex, with a series of systems such as the Mintun system, the fake land system, the land grant system and the Wang Tian system.
If you want to enclose land, you have to find a reason!
Fortunately!
With Wei Yan, the Yichun Marquis, there is a card, and it is more convenient to do things.
He himself is average, and what matters is Wei's background.
He is the son of General Wei and the nephew of the queen's mother. The identity of the royal family's relatives, if you want to buy a farmhouse, only a little bit of wind is revealed, and most of the grassroots power people below will come over to offer their courtesy with a blue face.
The society of human affection has long been strange.
It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
After Huo Guang implemented the matter of the enclosure, many days had passed.
And in these days.
A big event also happened in the Han Dynasty!
What's the big deal?
That is, the imperial court also wanted to make money, and began to reuse businessman-born officials like Sang Hongyang, and vigorously reformed agriculture, salt and iron official camps, and so on.
But none of these have anything to do with what Huo Guang wants to do.
Now he is still concerned about the construction of his own factory and the selection of workers to work.
Recruitment!
Simple.
Chang'an City lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people. Don't look at the fact that there are only 30,000 people in Chang'an City, you must know that there are more than 200,000 residents outside the city.
Huo Guang wants to recruit some people to come over to work, as long as he is rewarded, it will still be very easy to recruit people.
There was a problem though, and he had to pay attention.
That's papermaking technology, and we must not let these people pass it on. Whether it is a toilet chip or a paper that can be used to write and draw in the back, Huo Guang must firmly grasp the production technology in his own hands.
This is also known as monopoly.
Capital!
Everyone spits on them, but if there is really that opportunity to become capital, who wouldn't want to?
For this.
He specially called out to him and explained these things to him. Those who are responsible for cutting down raw materials such as trees and bamboo must not be responsible for soaking and pounding.
Similarly.
Later, cooking, mud licking, considering, film picking, extrusion, fire drying and other work cannot be involved in each other, and confidentiality work must be done well.
Technology!
is the most valuable.
Time passed, and Huo Guang's "industrial park" was also built step by step in his plan.
And yet this day.
In the newly built horse farm nearby, the neighing of horses was heard, which attracted him.
Inside the racecourse.
A girl was riding a horse, guarding the horses that were not too many. Seeing Huo Guang approaching, the girl immediately said vigilantly: "Don't come here!" ”
