After lunch, the people of the village drove out to collect artemisia seeds and knotweed in various villages to make stone alkali.

After the wasteland was cleared, the hired people could no longer make money, and the chief consulted them about buying grass.

A load of grass is given for a penny, and there is no need to send it, the village will pull it by itself.

The people in other villages are so happy, can artemisia and knotweed still be sold for money?

One by one, they went out with sickles, poles, and ropes to cut.

Before Zhu Wentian went to take his friends to take a nap, he said to the chief: "Su, purple, medicine, grass, um~~"

"When the perilla is ripe, let them collect it, let's buy it, and there are herbs nearby, hehehehe, go to sleep!"

The lieutenant helped to speak out again, and helped hey.

"Hey!" Zhu Wentian went to the mountain temple with confidence.

……

Two days later, ten people from Li Zhixian County arrived again, but the officials from the government did not come.

They came to tell the lieutenant chief, or the high-ranking people behind it, the good news.

The soap negotiated the price with the foreigners, 400 yuan a piece, packaged in a wooden box, and cotton cloth as a pad.

This time, I will convert other things into money, and I will use oil next time, or soybeans, rapeseeds, and other things that can be used to extract oil.

The foreigners bought more, and the village prepared another 30,000 pieces of soap.

"Yichang, caught a fish? I'm worried that you won't be able to summon them. ”

After finishing business, Li Zhixian stood on the shore and watched the boat coming, he was collecting the net, if there was fish, he should eat fish at noon today.

"Tell them well, and they will agree." The lieutenant didn't mention the matter of rations.

"Captain, find someone to move fish, there are a lot of fish." The people who went up to help from the village on the boat shouted.

The villagers around the chief turned around and ran and told everyone to bring bamboo baskets.

The boat docked on the wooden dock, received the basket, hugged it a few times, loaded it with most of the basket of fish, sent it down and loaded it again.

Other villagers lined up, got down a basket, and two people carried it away.

Carry it to the laundry spot next to it and use the river water to process the fish.

Don't throw away the fish offal, keep it to feed the chickens and ducks, and lay more eggs.

When Zhu Wentian got the news and went to the dock with his friends, the villagers and fishermen were washing the boat.

"How many fish have you netted?" The little girl asked.

"It is estimated that there are 4,000 catties, and I don't weigh it."

The captain smiled, the boat went out less than two hours, four thousand catties of fish, the grain was worth it, and the fishing nets were not bought in vain.

Zheng Zhushu looked into the boat: "There are so many fish, why don't fishermen come to catch them on weekdays?" ”

Zhao Li looked at the main book, hesitated, and replied: "The boat at home is small, and it can't fit so much, and this place is far away from the two county seats."

We usually fish in the middle of the night, go to the county seat before dawn in the early morning, pay the fishing tax, and wait for others to buy it.

In the river next to Xiaqiu Village, the net was transported, and it was not fresh.

Not to mention that all fish is easy to sell, fishy, for others to eat, hungry people are willing to want it, fishy to fishy, at least meat.

If they sell it, they pick the fish and add a lot of spices to make it when they go back. ”

The other three fishermen followed and nodded, yes, too far.

If this big ship is given to us, we will come, and it will be cost-effective to load more at a time.

"Taught." Master Zheng clenched his fists, it turned out that there were so many things to say about fishing.

Guan Xiancheng said enviously to the chief: "With the people in your village, you can't finish eating." ”

Li Chang smiled: "Eat some of it, and the rest of it will be marinated into dried fish, and when it is done, I will ask someone to send it to Xuancheng and ask you to help taste it." ”

"This one does." Li Zhixian happily agreed, and he was not afraid to accept the gift of Qiu Village.

The officials in the government and Banzai and the prince all accept it, and Xiaqiu Village has nothing to do with the difficulties of people's livelihood.

It's just a sale of soap at one time, 35,000 yuan, and 200 wen a piece.

Thinking that he looked at the lieutenant chief, the lieutenant seemed to be thinking about the problem of money.

His brows furrowed, and he took the hand of the village guard: "Hanhan, come home with me and try if the new shoes fit." ”

"Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! New Shoes! Zhu Wentian left with a cheer.

When he arrived at the chief's house, the chief closed the door: "The palace sells a piece of 400 wen to foreigners, and builds a wooden box and a piece of cotton cloth."

Another 30,000 yuan, plus the previous 5,000, we can have 7 million yuan. ”

Zhu Wentian: "......"

He scratched his head: "It's over! The price has to be reduced. ”

"Price drop?" The lieutenant didn't understand.

"How many times are things sold in the village? How much did you buy? How much is left?

Take out 30,000 pieces of soap at a time, estimate it and know that the cost is low, if the cost is large, we can't take it out.

In fact, the profit from selling soap in the palace is almost the same as the profit from deducting the capital. ”

Zhu Wentian gave an analysis, you said that the cost of one piece is 100 yuan, 30,000 yuan, and you need at least 3 million yuan to do it.

This year, Xu Da just finished fighting the desert, and next year he will send Tang He to occupy Ming Yuzhen in Shu.

At the same time, there will be a drought in a large number of places where wheat will be planted next year, and the grain harvest will fail.

In the following year, Xu Da marched north again, with a three-way army, winning one way and losing two.

My village is crazy about making money, and this is only the first time that foreigners have bought soap, and there will be more in the future.

In the three years of Hongwu this year, the fiscal revenue is estimated to be 6 or 7 million taels of silver, or 67 billion wen.

The village sells soap like this, and you can't make 100 million wen a year?

If you become the emperor yourself, you must have ideas, let alone Lao Zhu.

After listening to Hanhan's words, the lieutenant rubbed his hands anxiously: "Then, what should I do?" Money, too much money, can't be spent, and then people are worried about it...... Alas! ”

"The 5,000 pieces of soap, we will ask for 1 million yuan, and then 30,000 yuan, 20 yuan a piece to sell, just say that we have thought of a good way."

Zhu Wentian said a way, the village has a lot of money, and there is no way to spend it.

"Really, it's really not good, let's give the recipe out! Peace is better than anything else.

It's not that we can't sell it ourselves, just like rock candy, we can make it and sell it once at any time. ”

The chief is afraid, when he is poor, he always dreams of making a fortune, and when he is really rich, he is worried again.

"Done! Then after earning this time, seven million Wen will be in hand, which is nothing more than seven thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhu Wentian agreed, changed the unit, and suddenly felt that it was not much.

Li Chang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, earn a round." In the future, we can make other things to sell, right? ”

"Uh-huh! Hey, hey, hey. Zhu Wentian nodded.

"Hey, hey, hey! Come, change your shoes, put on new shoes. "Captain got up and went to get his shoes, and he really did.

Zhu Wentian didn't change it, he took it in his hand, and the two went out.

The smell of fried fish wafts through the village, and many types of fish are oiled to make them less fishy, and then seasonings are added.

The four fishermen in Zhaoli looked at the amount of oil used by the villagers to fry fish, and their hearts twitched.

At the same time, I found that the whole village cooks and eats together, which is actually more economical.

The same is true for those who cut green onions and ginger, so they don't need to be exchanged.

"Captain, it looks like we have to eat fish all the time, we have to buy ginger, buy more cheap, and bury it."

The villagers who were working saw the chief and asked for ginger.

"Garlic too, buy more, put it in a cool place, hang it up." Another villager reminded.

"Buy, find someone to buy after eating." The lieutenant waved his hand casually.

"Buy, plant, hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian decided to buy ginger first this year, plant it next year, and plant garlic this year.

There is so much land in the village, planting it not only saves money, but also can be eaten at any time.

Even sell it cheaply to the surrounding villages, don't go so far to buy expensive ones.
